Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of automobile coatings, and in particular to a high-gloss water-based two-component polyurethane automobile topcoat and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the field of automotive coatings, people's demand for cars is increasing day by day, and the performance requirements for coatings are becoming increasingly stringent. Traditional automotive coatings generally use solvents, and volatile organic solvents have serious environmental pollution and pose a threat to human health. Water-based automotive topcoat is a type of coating that uses water as a solvent. It has lower volatile organic compound (VOCs) emissions and has less impact on the environment and human health. Therefore, automotive topcoats are in urgent need of developing towards water-based. At present, the adhesion and glossiness of water-based automotive topcoats cannot meet the industry development requirements at the same time.

[0003] The glossiness of a car is one of the important indicators to measure its appearance quality. Among them, high-gloss paint products have long dominated the paint market due to their bright colors. How to further improve the glossiness of water-based automotive topcoats is an important part of improving the decorativeness of automotive topcoats. The adhesion of automotive topcoats is also one of the main indicators for testing the quality of paint films. At present, water-based two-component polyurethane automotive topcoats have the problem of shrinkage of the paint film due to the cross-linking and curing process of the paint film, which deteriorates the adhesion with the base paint and affects the glossiness of the surface layer.

[0004] The invention aims to provide a high-gloss water-based polyurethane automobile topcoat with high adhesion and the ability to simultaneously meet various performance requirements of automobile topcoats. Summary of the invention

[0028] Based on the above, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1.

The hydroxy acrylate aqueous dispersion is matched with two water-based hydroxy polyurethane dispersions with a specific hydroxyl range, which has good miscibility, and the paint film obtained by curing to form a cross-linked interpenetrating network structure has unexpected gloss. However, the combination of the hydroxy acrylate aqueous dispersion with one of the water-based hydroxy polyurethane dispersions, or any combination of the relative amounts of the two water-based hydroxy polyurethane dispersions, will affect the miscibility of the system, resulting in a large amount of scattered light in the coating after film formation, low gloss, and failure to meet the gloss requirements of the automotive topcoat. 2. In the high-gloss water-based two-component polyurethane automotive topcoat provided by the present invention, the hydroxyl acrylate aqueous dispersion, the water-based hydroxyl polyurethane dispersion A and the water-based hydroxyl polyurethane dispersion B all contain a certain amount of hydroxyl polar groups. While forming a cross-linked structure, the hydroxyl groups can also have a certain interaction force with the substrate, thereby improving the adhesion of the paint film; DETAILED DESCRIPTION
