Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of film processing, and in particular to a photocurable self-repairing coating and a car cover protective film, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Car cover film, also known as "invisible car cover", is a transparent or translucent film used to protect the car surface from various damages. It has three main effects. First, it protects the car surface from damages such as sand and gravel, acid rain, bird droppings and oil stains. Second, it improves the appearance of the car body. Generally, car cover film can enhance the gloss of the car paint and make the car body look more beautiful. Third, it extends the service life of the car paint. Car cover film can absorb ultraviolet light and reduce the damage of ultraviolet light to the car paint.

[0003] Currently, the self-repairing coating category of car cover films on the market is mainly thermosetting coating. The main component of thermosetting self-repairing coating is high molecular weight resin, which has high density and is easy for solution to penetrate, resulting in poor anti-fouling effect and difficulty in cleaning. At the same time, due to the characteristics of thermosetting, the degree of reaction during the coating process is low, resulting in poor weather resistance and easy yellowing. In addition, thermosetting coatings require a lot of heat to react during the reaction process, and the reaction time is slow. It usually takes 1-7 days to mature before the required performance can be achieved.

[0004] Photocuring coatings are used in more fields due to their cleanliness, high efficiency and excellent surface properties. The hydrophobicity, scratch resistance and stain resistance of photocuring coatings are all required properties for car cover products. However, photocuring products are rarely used outdoors. The main reason is that in the design of the coating, in order to ensure the degree of curing of the coating, excessive photoinitiators are added. Excessive photoinitiators continue to react under the ultraviolet rays in outdoor sunlight, resulting in super-curing and weakening the performance of the coating. At the same time, most photoinitiators are yellow, which will cause the initial yellow value of the product to be large.

[0005] Therefore, technicians in this field are committed to developing a light-cured coating car cover protective film with strong anti-fouling ability and good weather resistance. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the prior art and provide a car cover protective film with a photocuring self-repairing coating. Starting from the coating formula, it not only improves the common yellow value problem of the photocuring coating, but also ensures hydrophobicity, scratch resistance and stain resistance while also having excellent weather resistance and self-repairing properties.

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0023] B. applying the coating solution and then thermally curing it to obtain a primary coating;

[0026] An application of the above-mentioned light-cured self-repairing coating is used as a car cover protective film.

[0027] A car cover protective film obtained by applying the above-mentioned light-curing self-repairing coating comprises a release film layer, a mounting adhesive layer, a substrate layer and the light-curing self-repairing coating arranged in sequence.

[0028] The product structure of the car cover protective film, according to the installation direction, includes: installation glue, substrate, light-cured self-repairing coating from the inside to the outside. The release film needs to be torn off first during construction.

[0029] Preferably, the release film layer includes one or more of PET, CPP, PO or other suitable types, and the thickness includes 20~200μm; the mounting adhesive layer includes a mixture of one or more of acrylate resin, polyurethane resin or other suitable types and a tackifier, and the thickness includes 5~50μm; the substrate layer includes one or more of TPU, PET or other suitable types, and the thickness includes 50~200μm; the thickness of the photocurable self-repairing coating includes 3~10μm; the car cover protective film also includes a protective film layer arranged on the photocurable self-repairing coating; the protective film layer includes one or more of PET, CPP, PO or other suitable types, and the thickness includes 50-150μm.

[0030] A protective film can be added on top of the light-curing self-repairing coating of the car cover protective film as needed. The material of the protective film can be PET material, CPP material, PO material or other suitable film material, and the thickness is between 50 and 150 μm.

[0031] The implementation of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0032] 1. Traditional photocuring and thermosetting car cover protective film coating systems, thermosetting coatings have good weather resistance and excellent self-repairing properties; but poor anti-fouling properties, and complex processing procedures, requiring a protective film to enter subsequent production; photocuring coatings have excellent processing properties, good anti-fouling effects, high gloss, and can be formed in one step; but weather resistance and repair properties are not as good as thermosetting coatings; the present invention simultaneously introduces resins with photoinitiating groups and resins with thermosetting groups, so that the coating body has the self-repairing properties and weather resistance of thermosetting coatings, and the surface has the anti-fouling properties and glossiness of photocuring coatings; at the same time, the mixture of linear resins and bulk resins can well balance the softness and density of the coating.

[0033] 2. The self-repairing coating of the present invention uses a photocuring system, which reduces the surface tension of the coating, improves the anti-fouling effect of the coating, and makes the car cover film easy to clean.

[0034] 3. The unique design of the resin and dual curing agent / initiator of the present invention reduces the yellow value of the coating and improves the weather resistance of the coating.

[0035] 4. The self-repairing coating of the present invention can be prepared by a stirring process. The stirring speed of the stirrer is 100-500 rpm, and the stirring time is 0.5-2 hours. The stirring process is simple to operate and is suitable for industrial production applications.

[0036] 5. The dual curing method of light curing and heat curing is adopted, which greatly improves the production efficiency compared with simple heat curing. Among them, the heat curing process uses a temperature of 70~90 degrees Celsius and a time of 2~8 minutes; the light curing process uses a UV lamp in the 280~400 nanometer band, and the energy required for curing is 400 millijoules / square centimeter to 1200 millijoules / square centimeter, which can obtain a self-healing coating with complete performance without the need for a 1~7-day aging process.

[0037] 6. Conventional car covers, whether light-cured or heat-cured, will be damaged by long-term sunlight exposure, so light stabilizers need to be added. However, the present invention combines heat curing and light curing, with the heat-curing resin attached to the light-curing resin, and provides self-repairing properties by relying on the characteristics of the heat-curing resin; under long-term sunlight, the light-curing resin slowly cross-links and cures, enhancing the overall coating hardness, allowing the light-curing resin to further react and more tightly interweave and adhere to the heat-curing resin, while enhancing the overall coating's scratch resistance. Therefore, this application does not require the addition of light stabilizers.

[0038] 7. The self-repairing light-curing coating of the car cover film uses low molecular weight acrylic or polyurethane resin, which has strong anti-penetration ability, excellent anti-fouling effect, and is easy to clean and maintain. At the same time, antioxidants are added to the light-curing coating to reduce the yellow value of the coating, improve the overall aesthetics of the car cover protective film, and enhance the weather resistance of the car cover protective film.

[0120] Effect Example 1

[0121] The car cover products prepared in Examples 1 to 5 were compared with two commercially available products in terms of performance testing, wherein the performance testing methods and standards are as follows:

[0122] Hardness: ASTM D2240;

[0123] Gloss (60°): DIN 67530;

[0124] Scratch resistance: Use a copper brush to brush the coating surface back and forth once, and observe the scratch depth under a microscope;

[0125] Stain resistance: Wipe with a M&G oily double-jaw pen to see the mark left;

[0126] Wear (wear resistance) experiment in repair performance: Mingyu instrument MODEL: 339, steel wool rubs back and forth 10 times, pressure 1KG, speed 60 times / min;

[0127] ΔL in repair performance: The brightness L of the car cover is related to the smoothness of the coating surface. ΔL indicates the change in brightness before and after the wear test, which can show the self-repairing ability of the coating. ΔL = initial brightness L1 - brightness L2 after the wear test. There is no obvious change or no change in brightness before and after the wear test. The smaller ΔL is, the stronger the self-repairing performance of the coating is.

[0128] Initial yellow value: measured by Shimadzu spectrophotometer UV3600;

[0129] Yellowing resistance: After undergoing QUV aging and high temperature and high humidity aging, measured with Japan Shimadzu spectrophotometer UV3600; QUV aging: 1.00W / m2 @340nm, 50℃, 8 hours of light + 3 hours and 45 minutes of darkness + 15 minutes of spraying, 500 hours of cycle; high temperature and high humidity aging: 85℃, 85%H, 500 hours.

[0130] The results are shown in Table 1:

[0131] Table 1

[0132]

[0133] It can be seen from the test results in Table 1 that the two commercially available products are not as good as the products prepared in Examples 1 to 5 in terms of hardness, glossiness, scratch resistance, stain resistance, and yellowing resistance. More importantly, in terms of repair performance, the two commercially available products cannot be modified by themselves and need to be repaired under heat treatment such as hot water pouring, but the repair ΔL is large and the repair effect is not satisfactory. The products prepared in Examples 1 to 5 can complete self-repair after a short placement of 0.5h at room temperature after wear, and the repair ΔL is small, and the repair effect is better. It is speculated that the reason for the above difference is related to the cross-linking and curing of the thermosetting resin and the light-curing resin in the present invention. Comprehensive evaluation of the products prepared in Examples 1 to 5 shows that Example 1 is slightly better than Examples 2 to 5 in all aspects of performance and should be considered a better choice.

[0134] Effect Example 2

[0135] The products prepared in Examples 1 to 5 and two commercially available products were compared in terms of performance before and after product repair. The experiment was set up as follows:

[0136] The products prepared in Examples 1 to 5 and two commercially available products were divided into two parts, one for direct performance testing and the other for repair after abrasion (wear resistance) test. The repaired products were subjected to performance testing and the performance of the repaired products was compared with that of the original products.

[0137] The repair process of the products prepared in Examples 1 to 5 is: self-repair after being placed at room temperature for 0.5 hours. The repair process of the two commercially available products is: heat treatment and repair by pouring hot water.

[0138] The results are shown in Table 2:

[0139] Table 2

[0140]

[0141] From the test results in Table 2, it can be seen that the two commercially available products cannot complete the repair by themselves and need to be repaired under heat treatment such as hot water pouring, but the performance after repair is significantly reduced compared with the original product, which affects the life of the car cover and the subsequent protective effect. The products prepared in Examples 1 to 5 can complete self-repair after a short placement of 0.5 hours at room temperature after wear, and the performance after repair is almost the same as the original product, which can better play a protective role in the future. The reason for the above difference is speculated: the present invention cross-links and cures the thermosetting resin and the photocuring resin with each other, and relies on the characteristics of the thermosetting resin to provide self-repair performance; under long-term sunlight, the photocuring resin slowly cross-links and cures, enhancing the overall coating hardness, allowing the photocuring resin to further react and more closely interweave and fit the thermosetting resin, while enhancing the scratch resistance of the overall coating, thereby achieving self-repair after placement and keeping the performance after repair basically consistent with the original product.

[0142] The above disclosure is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present invention are still within the scope of the present invention.
