AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing polyisocyanate compositions have high viscosity in downstream applications, requiring the addition of large amounts of solvents to reduce viscosity. This results in the composition becoming thinner, cloudy, and bluish, affecting the gloss of the paint film. At the same time, polyol modification reduces the -NCO content and the hardness of the paint film.

Method used

By introducing substituted biuret groups and substituted urea groups into polyisocyanates and controlling their molar ratio to be greater than 0 and less than or equal to 0.5, a polyisocyanate composition with a viscosity of less than 10000 mPa·s was prepared. The viscosity was reduced and storage stability was maintained by controlling the reaction endpoint through aliphatic amine reaction and catalyst.

Benefits of technology

It significantly reduces the viscosity of polyisocyanate compositions while maintaining good storage stability and minimal viscosity change, thereby improving the gloss of the coating film and ease of application.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to polyisocyanate compositions, and more particularly to a polyisocyanate composition with good storage stability. Background Technology

[0002] Aliphatic / alicyclic polyisocyanates have excellent properties such as weather resistance, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, and are widely used in the coatings, adhesives, and elastomers industries. In particular, in the coatings industry, polyisocyanate curing agents containing isocyanate groups are the most widely used.

[0003] Aliphatic polyisocyanate compositions containing isocyanurate groups have excellent resistance to yellowing. In addition, they also have advantages such as low free monomer content, saturated vapor concentration far below occupational safety limits, high functionality, and high downstream crosslinking density.

[0004] Given the diversity of downstream application formulations, curing agents often need to be used in conjunction with high-hydroxy resins to improve the crosslinking density, mechanical properties, and chemical resistance of the coating film. However, due to the rigid structure of the isocyanurate ring itself, the polyisocyanates prepared from it often have high viscosity. In downstream applications, a large amount of solvent needs to be added to reduce the viscosity, which can lead to thinning, cloudiness, and bluish tint in the composition, affecting the gloss of the formed coating film.

[0005] Existing technologies mainly reduce the viscosity of polyisocyanates by modifying them with polyols and introducing other structures. However, polyol modification can result in a lower -NCO content in the prepared polyisocyanates. The structure of diurea ketone can reduce the hardness and chemical resistance of the coating film prepared by polyisocyanates compared to that of isocyanurates. Summary of the Invention

Further, a single-stage or multi-stage thin-film evaporator can be used to treat the mixture after the reaction of diisocyanate and fatty amine.

[0051] One embodiment of the present invention provides the application of the above-described polyisocyanate composition as a crosslinking agent or curing agent, particularly as a crosslinking agent or curing agent in coating compositions.

[0052] One embodiment of the present invention provides a polyisocyanate composition that, by introducing a specific amount of substituted biuret groups and substituted urea groups into a polyisocyanate containing isocyanurate groups, can significantly reduce the viscosity of the polyisocyanate composition while maintaining good storage stability.

[0098] The polyisocyanate compositions prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were subjected to relevant tests according to the aforementioned method, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0099] Table 1 Performance results of the polyisocyanate compositions of each example and comparative example.

[0100]

[0101]

[0102] According to the results in Table 1, the molar ratio of substituted biuret groups to substituted urea groups in the polyisocyanate compositions of Examples 1-5 is all between 0 and 0.5, while the corresponding molar ratios for Comparative Examples 1 and 3 are 0, and the corresponding molar ratio for Comparative Example 2 is 0.55, which is greater than 0.5. Based on the viscosity values ​​of the polyisocyanate compositions, the viscosity of the polyisocyanate compositions of Examples 1-5 is lower than that of Comparative Examples 1-3. Therefore, by limiting the molar ratio of substituted biuret groups to substituted urea groups in the polyisocyanate compositions to between 0 and 0.5, their viscosity can be significantly reduced.

[0103] The viscosity changes and diisocyanate content of the polyisocyanate compositions of Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were tested after being stored at 50°C for 3 months. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0105]

[0106] As shown in Table 2, after 3 months of storage, the viscosity of the polyisocyanate compositions in Examples 1-5 showed little change, and the content of free diisocyanate was low, indicating good storage stability. Furthermore, the composition in Comparative Example 3 contained a certain amount of urea diketone, which decomposed into diisocyanate during heating and storage, resulting in a diisocyanate content >0.5%.

[0107] Unless otherwise specified, the terms used in this invention have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art.

[0108] The embodiments described in this invention are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this invention.
