Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of anti-corrosion coating technology, specifically relating to the preparation method and application of Zn-MMT@L-His modified waterborne polyurethane anti-corrosion coating. Background Technology

[0002] Metal corrosion has a wide-ranging impact on society, including economic losses, safety hazards, environmental pollution, resource waste, and disruptions to production and daily life. It can lead to equipment damage and structural failure, requiring substantial funds for repair and replacement. Furthermore, it can trigger accidents, threatening personnel and property safety, polluting the environment, wasting resources, and hindering the normal operation and development of society. Therefore, preventing and controlling metal corrosion is of paramount importance.

[0003] Waterborne polyurethane uses water instead of organic solvents as the dispersion medium, also known as aqueous polyurethane or water-based polyurethane. It not only possesses some of the important performance characteristics of solvent-based polyurethane, but also has advantages such as non-flammability, non-toxicity, non-polluting properties, energy saving, easy storage, and convenient use, thus attracting much attention and becoming an important direction for development in the polyurethane field today. However, defects such as bubbles and pinholes are inevitably introduced during the curing process, severely affecting the anti-corrosion performance of the coating. Many researchers have modified the coating by adding two-dimensional nanomaterials, which can effectively inhibit the penetration of corrosive ions and improve the barrier performance of the coating. However, these two-dimensional materials still have some limitations in practical applications, such as poor compatibility, severe agglomeration, and galvanic corrosion. Another way to solve this problem is to modify the two-dimensional materials to improve the density of the coating.

[0004] Histidine, a natural bio-based corrosion inhibitor, has been widely used in the field of metal protection due to its unique chemical structure, which allows it to coordinate with numerous metal ions. In metal corrosion prevention, histidine can undergo chelation coordination reactions with metal ions to form a dense protective film, effectively preventing the metal from contacting the corrosive medium and thus slowing down the corrosion rate. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the drawbacks of waterborne polyurethane coatings, such as the tendency of nano-montmorillonite layered structures to accumulate moisture, leading to poor compatibility and creating penetration channels for corrosive media, this invention provides a method for preparing and applying a Zn-MMT@L-His modified waterborne polyurethane anticorrosive coating. This method utilizes the substitution of zinc ions with sodium ions between the montmorillonite layers, where the zinc ions act as a corrosion inhibitor, reacting with OH- produced during corrosion. - The reaction generates insoluble Zn(OH)2 on the surface, and histidine undergoes a chelation coordination reaction with metal ions to form a dense protective film. The two have a synergistic effect, thereby improving the anti-corrosion performance of waterborne polyurethane.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A method for preparing a Zn-MMT@L-His modified waterborne polyurethane anticorrosive coating: Sodium-based montmorillonite (Na-MMT) is ion-exchanged with zinc nitrate hexahydrate to obtain zinc ion-modified montmorillonite (Zn-MMT). Zn-MMT is then immersed in a histidine L-His solution to obtain Zn-MMT@L-His. Finally, Zn-MMT@L-His is uniformly dispersed in a waterborne polyurethane topcoat, and a curing agent is added to prepare the Zn-MMT@L-His modified waterborne polyurethane anticorrosive coating. The specific steps are as follows:

[0008] 1) Sodium montmorillonite was dispersed in a zinc nitrate hexahydrate solution, and the resulting suspension was reacted at 60-70℃ for 5.5-6.5 h. After centrifugation, drying and grinding, Zn-MMT was obtained.

[0009] 2) Add Zn-MMT to histidine solution, sonicate for 30-40 min, then soak for 22-26 h to ensure that histidine is uniformly loaded on the surface of Zn-MMT. Finally, after centrifugation, drying and grinding, Zn-MMT@L-His is obtained.

[0010] 3) Add Zn-MMT@L-His to the waterborne polyurethane topcoat and stir to disperse for 60-70 minutes to obtain a dispersion. Then add the curing agent to the dispersion and stir vigorously at room temperature for 15-20 minutes. Then place it in a vacuum drying oven and evacuate to remove air bubbles to obtain the Zn-MMT@L-His modified waterborne polyurethane anticorrosive coating.

[0011] Further, in step 1), the zinc nitrate hexahydrate solution is prepared as follows: zinc nitrate hexahydrate is dissolved in deionized water at 55~65℃ for 30~40 min, and then mixed at 65~75℃ for 60~70 min to obtain a zinc nitrate hexahydrate solution with a concentration of 0.010~0.011 g / mL.

[0012] Further, in step 2), the concentration of the histidine solution is 0.015~0.07 g / mL.

[0013] Further, in step 2), the molar ratio of Zn-MMT to histidine in the histidine solution is 0.5~1.5:1.

[0014] Further, in step 3), the mass ratio of the waterborne polyurethane topcoat to Zn-MMT@L-His is 1g:5~15mg.

[0015] Further, in step 3), the mass ratio of the waterborne polyurethane topcoat to the curing agent is 0.25~0.33:1.

[0016] Application of the Zn-MMT@L-His modified waterborne polyurethane anticorrosive coating: The Zn-MMT@L-His modified waterborne polyurethane anticorrosive coating is applied to the substrate using a coating machine and cured at 40℃ for 24~25h to form an anticorrosive coating.

[0017] The significant advantages of this invention are:

[0018] 1. This invention incorporates nanomaterial MMT, creating a labyrinth effect within the coating to effectively increase the diffusion path of corrosive media. Furthermore, the sodium ions of MMT undergo ion exchange with zinc nitrate hexahydrate, introducing zinc ions. These zinc ions act as corrosion inhibitors, reacting with the OH- produced during corrosion. - The reaction generates insoluble Zn(OH)2 on the surface, which improves the corrosion resistance of the coating.

[0019] 2. In this invention, histidine undergoes a chelation coordination reaction with metal ions to form a dense protective film. Therefore, Zn-MMT and histidine have a good synergistic effect on corrosion protection, which is far greater than the effect of MMT modification or histidine alone. Attached Figure Description

[0115] Experimental Example

[0116] Open circuit potential (OCP) is widely considered an effective method for evaluating the formation of protective corrosion products. Furthermore, OCP measurement reflects the stability of the thin film in a corrosive environment.

[0117] The corrosion resistance of the coatings was evaluated by measuring the open-circuit potential in a 3.5% NaCl solution. The measurement results are shown in Table 1. The OCP value of Example 2 was more positive than that of the comparative coating. This indicates that the waterborne polyurethane coating prepared in Example 2 of this invention provides the most effective protection in corrosive environments. Therefore, the following studies will use Example 2, Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2, and Comparative Example 3 for comparison.

[0118] The coatings obtained in Example 2, Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2, and Comparative Example 3 were immersed in 3.5% NaCl solution for 1 day and 26 days, respectively. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results are as follows: Figure 1 , 2 As shown. Example 2 uses Zn-MMT@L-His material as filler. Compared with Comparative Examples 2 and 3, which added Zn-MMT@ and Zn-MMT@L-His in the same proportion, the coating obtained in Example 2 has a higher low-frequency impedance value. After soaking for 1 day, the impedance modulus increased by about 2 orders of magnitude. It also maintained a very high low-frequency impedance value after 26 days. It is also much higher than the impedance value of the pure water-based polyurethane coating in Comparative Example 1. This shows that the coating formed on the material by Zn-MMT@L-His / WPU prepared in this invention has excellent corrosion resistance in corrosive environments.
