Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of metal anti-corrosion paint technology, and particularly relates to a diatomaceous earth / chitosan composite material modified asphalt paint and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread application of metallic materials in various industries, corrosion problems have become increasingly prominent, causing huge economic losses. Metal anti-corrosion paint, by isolating metal from corrosive substances and effectively cutting off the corrosion cycle, is one of the most effective measures for protecting metal substrates from corrosion. Asphalt paint, as a type of metal anti-corrosion paint, has good water resistance, acid resistance, alkali resistance, and chemical resistance, and is mainly used for metal materials in indoor, underwater, underground, and equipment not exposed to sunlight. However, asphalt paint alone has poor metal adhesion and flexibility, and is prone to peeling after long-term use, losing its protective function and causing localized corrosion of the metal material, thus limiting its widespread application. Adding drying vegetable oils or alkyd resins to asphalt paint can improve adhesion and flexibility, but the drying speed will be affected and reduced. At the same time, the paint film formed by asphalt paint has pinholes, requiring the addition of leveling agents to improve the leveling properties of the asphalt paint. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, to solve this problem, the present invention provides a diatomaceous earth / chitosan composite material modified asphalt paint and its preparation method. The present invention utilizes ultrasound to prepare a diatomaceous earth / chitosan composite material (wherein ultrasound can rapidly and efficiently disperse solid materials such as diatomaceous earth and chitosan in solution, accelerating the reaction process of the composite material). The diatomaceous earth / chitosan composite material modified asphalt paint prepared by the invention not only significantly improves the adhesion, film thickness, and leveling performance of the asphalt paint on metal surfaces, but also exhibits good drying speed.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] The first technical objective of this invention is to provide a diatomaceous earth / chitosan composite material, made from the following raw materials in parts by weight:

[0006] Diatomaceous earth: 5-15 parts;

[0007] Silane coupling agent: 5-15 parts;

[0008] Ethanol aqueous solution: 150-200 parts;

[0009] Acetic acid: 0.5-2 parts;

[0010] Chitosan: 0.1-0.3 parts.

[0011] Furthermore, the silane coupling agent is γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, or γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, preferably γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane. Compared with the other two silane coupling agents, it has weaker polarity and is closer to the polarity of petroleum asphalt, making it more soluble in weakly polar organic solvents such as xylene and solvent oil, which can improve the dispersion stability of diatomaceous earth / chitosan composite materials in asphalt paint.

[0012] Furthermore, the ethanol solution has a mass fraction of 40-80%, preferably 45-55%.

[0013] Furthermore, the chitosan has a molecular weight of 30,000-100,000, preferably 30,000. Chitosan with a lower molecular weight is more soluble in acetic acid-containing solutions, which helps chitosan and diatomaceous earth to form non-covalent complexes on the surface.

[0014] Furthermore, the preparation method of the diatomaceous earth / chitosan composite material is as follows:

[0015] Step 1: Calcine diatomaceous earth in a muffle furnace at 450℃ for 3 hours, cool it to room temperature and add it to an ethanol aqueous solution, then add acetic acid and stir at 60℃ for 0.5-1 hours to obtain an acidified diatomaceous earth dispersion.

[0016] Step 2: Add silane coupling agent and chitosan to the acidified diatomaceous earth dispersion, sonicate at 80°C for 2 hours, then filter and dry to obtain diatomaceous earth / chitosan composite material.

[0017] It should be noted that the diatomaceous earth needs to be calcined at high temperature (450℃) to remove organic impurities, increase micropore permeability, and facilitate surface modification and composite with other materials.

[0018] The second technical objective of this invention is to provide a diatomaceous earth / chitosan composite material modified asphalt paint, made from the following raw materials in parts by weight:

[0019] Petroleum asphalt: 50-60 parts;

[0020] Organic solvent: 40-50 parts;

[0021] Vegetable oil: 5-10 parts;

[0022] Diatomaceous earth / chitosan composite material: 2-5 parts;

[0023] Drying agent: 0.3-1.5 parts;

[0024] Dispersant: 0.05-0.2 parts.

[0025] Furthermore, the petroleum asphalt is No. 10 building petroleum asphalt, preferably No. 10 building petroleum asphalt with a softening point of 110-130℃.

[0026] Furthermore, the organic solvent is selected from one or more combinations of No. 100 solvent oil, No. 200 solvent oil, toluene, and xylene, preferably a mixture of No. 200 solvent oil and xylene in a weight ratio of 1:(0.5-4), and more preferably a weight ratio of 1:(1-3).

[0027] Furthermore, the vegetable oil is selected from one or more combinations of soybean oil, castor oil, rapeseed oil, linseed oil, and tung oil, with tung oil being preferred.

[0028] Furthermore, the drying agent is composed of lead tar, cobalt tar and zinc tar in the following mass percentages: 20-30%, 20-30%, and 40-60%.

[0029] Furthermore, the dispersant is a phosphate ester type dispersant or a polyurethane dispersant, preferably a phosphate ester type dispersant, which has better compatibility with asphalt paint and is more conducive to the dispersion stability of diatomaceous earth / chitosan composite materials.

[0030] The third technical objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing the modified asphalt paint, specifically including the following steps:

[0031] Step 1: Crush petroleum asphalt into granules and dissolve it in an organic solvent by stirring at room temperature for 2-3 hours to obtain unmodified asphalt paint mother liquor.

[0032] Step 2: Grind the diatomaceous earth / chitosan composite material into a fine powder, and add it together with tung oil, dispersant and drier to the unmodified asphalt paint mother liquor in that order. Stir at 80-100℃ for 2-3 hours to obtain the modified asphalt paint.

[0033] By adopting the above technical solution and selecting petroleum asphalt with a higher softening point, and crushing it into granules, the heat resistance of asphalt paint can be improved, and the solubility of petroleum asphalt in organic solvents can be enhanced, allowing petroleum asphalt to dissolve in organic solvents at room temperature. Chitosan itself possesses multiple hydroxyl and amino groups, exhibiting strong chelation and adsorption capabilities with metal surfaces. This allows the composite chitosan and diatomaceous earth to further improve the metal adhesion of asphalt paint. The porosity of diatomaceous earth can accelerate the evaporation of solvents in the paint film and the rate of oxidative drying reaction of vegetable oils, thereby accelerating the drying speed of the asphalt paint. Diatomaceous earth modified with a silane coupling agent can improve its wetting state, thereby enhancing the leveling performance of the asphalt paint. Dispersing the diatomaceous earth / chitosan composite material in asphalt paint can alter its rheological properties, increase viscosity, and increase film thickness.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0035] By adding diatomaceous earth / chitosan composite material, the metal adhesion and flexibility of asphalt paint can be significantly improved, the drying speed of asphalt paint film can be accelerated, its leveling performance can be improved, and the formation of pinholes can be suppressed. In addition, the addition of composite material can increase the viscosity of asphalt paint and increase the film thickness. Detailed Implementation

Generally, the higher the viscosity, the greater the film thickness. The appearance of the paint film was observed for pinholes; the more pinholes present, the worse the leveling. Metal adhesion was assessed by performing a circular scratch test on the paint film on a metal surface to observe the peeling. The results were graded from 1 to 7, with lower grades indicating stronger adhesion. Flexibility was assessed by subjecting the metal specimens to varying degrees of bending deformation using rods of different diameters. Smaller rod diameters resulted in greater bending deformation. The damage state of the paint film on the metal surface was observed. The test results showed the minimum rod diameter at which the paint film showed no cracks, peeling, or network patterns. A smaller minimum rod diameter indicated better flexibility. A shorter actual drying time indicated a faster drying speed. The test results for Examples 1-7 are shown in Table 2.
