BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] Figure 1 The present invention is a flow chart of the preparation steps. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following description is used to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are only examples, and those skilled in the art may think of other obvious variations.

[0025] Reference Figure 1As shown, a water-based anti-fouling easy-to-clean coating is prepared from the following materials: 40-100 parts of acrylic emulsion, 20-120 parts of polyurethane emulsion, 10-110 parts of fluorocarbon compound, 1-50 parts of leveling agent, 1-40 parts of defoaming agent, 20-220 parts of nano titanium dioxide, 5-130 parts of fluorocarbon resin, 8-60 parts of tin powder, 6-50 parts of thickener and 20-300 parts of water;

[0026] The preparation steps of the water-based anti-fouling and easy-to-clean coating are as follows:

[0027] S1, pouring acrylic emulsion, polyurethane emulsion, fluorocarbon compound, nano titanium dioxide, fluorocarbon resin and tin powder into a reaction kettle, stirring and mixing;

[0028] S2. During the stirring process, a leveling agent, a defoaming agent, a thickener and water are added into the reactor and stirred;

[0029] S3. Check the pH value of the coating, adjust the pH value to 8-9, and check whether the coating is prepared based on image recognition technology;

[0030] S4. Spraying the prepared coating onto the outer surface of the container to protect the outer surface of the container;

[0031] S5. Test containers coated with anti-fouling and easy-to-clean coatings to detect the coating's anti-fouling, cleaning and anti-corrosion properties.

[0032] The easy-to-clean coating is specifically prepared from the following materials: 50 parts of acrylic emulsion, 60 parts of polyurethane emulsion, 45 parts of fluorocarbon compound, 12 parts of leveling agent, 15 parts of defoaming agent, 30 parts of nano titanium dioxide, 35 parts of fluorocarbon resin, 10 parts of tin powder, 9 parts of thickener and 150 parts of water.

[0033] Acrylic emulsion can form a continuous film after drying, and has good adhesion to the surface of the container being coated. It can fill the tiny pores on the surface and closely bond with the substrate, providing basic adhesion guarantee for the entire coating system, preventing the coating from falling off or peeling off, and ensuring long-term stability during container transportation and use;

[0034] The coating film formed by polyurethane emulsion has high hardness and good wear resistance. During the frequent handling, loading and unloading of containers, when they rub and collide with other objects, they can effectively resist wear, reduce scratches and damage on the coating surface, extend the service life of the coating, and maintain the good condition of the container appearance;

[0035] Fluorocarbon compounds have extremely low surface energy, which makes the coating surface highly hydrophobic and oleophobic. Dust, oil and stains are difficult to adhere to the surface. Even if there is a small amount of stain, it can be easily removed by rain or simple wiping, which greatly reduces the difficulty of cleaning the container surface, reduces cleaning costs and maintenance workload, and keeps the appearance of the container clean and beautiful.

[0036] The leveling agent can reduce the surface tension of the coating, so that the coating can quickly flow and spread evenly after being sprayed on the container surface, eliminating the orange peel and shrinkage defects that may appear on the coating surface, and forming a smooth and flat coating surface, which not only improves the aesthetics of the coating, but also helps to improve the gloss and reflectivity of the coating, making the container surface brighter and more beautiful, and enhancing its appearance and decorativeness;

[0037] Nano-titanium dioxide has photocatalytic activity and can produce strong oxidizing free radicals under ultraviolet irradiation. These free radicals can decompose organic pollutants attached to the surface of the coating, such as oil stains and microorganisms, and convert them into harmless water and carbon dioxide substances. This feature makes the container coating have a self-cleaning function. Even in the long-term use process, it can keep the surface relatively clean, reduce the frequency and intensity of manual cleaning, and help maintain the anti-fouling performance and appearance quality of the coating;

[0038] Fluorocarbon resin itself has excellent weather resistance and chemical stability. It works synergistically with fluorocarbon compounds to provide long-term outdoor protection for containers. It can maintain the stability of the coating performance under harsh climatic conditions and complex chemical environments, prevent the coating from fading, powdering, and peeling due to long-term exposure, and ensure that the container always maintains a good protective state during the many years of use.

[0039] The electrode potential of tin is more negative than that of the steel substrate commonly used in containers. When the coating is locally damaged and the substrate is exposed to a corrosive environment, the tin powder will be corroded preferentially as a sacrificial anode, thereby protecting the steel substrate from further corrosion.

[0040] Acrylic emulsion is one of pure acrylic emulsion, styrene acrylic emulsion and silicone acrylic emulsion. The preparation of acrylic emulsion is through adding acrylic monomer, emulsifier and water into pre-emulsification kettle, stirring for 30-40 minutes to form pre-emulsion, polymerizing the pre-emulsion, waiting for the reaction to end, lowering the temperature to 25-35 ℃, adding defoaming agent, filtering to obtain acrylic emulsion.

[0041] The present application forms a pre-emulsion by first stirring acrylic monomer, emulsifier and water in a pre-emulsification kettle, so that the monomer can be evenly dispersed in water to form stable tiny droplets, which is conducive to the uniformity and stability of the subsequent polymerization reaction, reduces the problems of incomplete polymerization reaction and inconsistent product performance caused by uneven monomer distribution, improves the quality and batch stability of the emulsion, and provides reliable process guarantee for large-scale production.

[0042] The fluorocarbon compound is one or more of perfluoroalkylethyl acrylate, perfluorooctane sulfonyl fluoride and perfluorooctanoic acid; the leveling agent is one or more of acrylate leveling agent, silicone leveling agent and fluorocarbon leveling agent; the defoaming agent is one or more of silicone defoaming agent, polyether defoaming agent and mineral oil defoaming agent.

[0043] The particle size of nano titanium dioxide is 10-100nm, and the thickener is one or more of hydroxyethyl cellulose, sodium polyacrylate or polyurethane thickener.

[0044] The nano titanium dioxide particles in this application can fill the tiny pores in the coating within this particle size range, thereby enhancing the density of the coating. When the nano titanium dioxide is evenly dispersed in the coating, they are like tiny "fillers", making the structure of the coating tighter, thereby improving the hardness and wear resistance of the coating.

[0045] The polyurethane emulsion is one or more of anionic polyurethane emulsion, cationic polyurethane emulsion and nonionic polyurethane emulsion.

[0046] The stirring time in step S1 is 1 hour. In step S2, the addition is carried out under stirring. After the reactor is stirred for 40 minutes, a leveling agent is added into the reactor. After the reactor is stirred for 45 minutes, a defoaming agent is added into the reactor. After the reactor is stirred for 50 minutes, a thickener is added into the reactor. After the reactor is stirred for 20 minutes, water is added into the reactor.

[0047] In step S3, a high-resolution camera is used to capture an image of the paint surface. The image is then processed using an existing image recognition algorithm, particularly a convolutional neural network algorithm in deep learning. A model is trained to identify sag, orange peel, shrinkage, and bubble defects on the paint surface. Image samples with and without defects are studied to automatically extract image features and classify them. The captured paint image is input into the trained model to quickly determine whether there are defects on the paint surface, the type and severity of the defects, and whether the paint preparation is complete.

[0048] After the spraying is completed in step S4, it is allowed to dry naturally and wait for the paint to dry and take shape.

[0049] The anti-fouling performance test in step S5 simulates the dust, oil and chemical stain pollutant environment, observes and quantifies the changes in the state of the coating surface after the pollutants attach, so as to evaluate the anti-fouling ability of the coating; the cleaning performance test uses a variety of cleaning methods to clean the coating, measures the amount of water used in the cleaning process, evaluates the degree of residue after cleaning, and comprehensively judges the cleaning performance of the coating; the anti-corrosion test uses a salt spray test chamber to conduct a salt spray test.
