Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of coatings, in particular to a hydrophobic antifouling coating and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Superhydrophobic material is a new type of material with strong hydrophobicity and self-cleaning properties, and has broad application prospects in waterproofing, anti-fouling, anti-corrosion, and oil pipeline transportation. Polyurethane coatings have high mechanical properties, good wear resistance, and excellent anti-corrosion properties. They are widely used in road traffic, roof waterproofing, building materials and facilities. Traditional polyurethane coatings do not have superhydrophobic and self-cleaning properties, and have poor waterproof and anti-fouling properties.

[0003] Fillers such as nano titanium dioxide are added to coatings such as polyurethane, and micro-nano structures are formed on the surface of the paint film, while reducing the low surface energy of the paint film, so that the paint film can be formed into super-hydrophobic properties. Nano titanium dioxide is easily agglomerated, and has poor dispersibility in coatings, and it is impossible to effectively give the coating super-hydrophobic properties. The Chinese invention patent publication with the announcement number CN108753132B discloses a method for preparing a road super-hydrophobic ice-suppressing coating, and nano titanium dioxide is treated with low surface energy structure reorganization using stearic acid and ethanol, and then compounded with silicone oil-based polyurethane, and the coating obtained has super-hydrophobic and ice-suppressing effects. However, it is usually necessary to add fillers such as excessive nano titanium dioxide to give the coating good super-hydrophobic properties, and adding excessive nano fillers can reduce the mechanical properties of the coating. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention solves the problem that polyurethane coatings do not have super-hydrophobic and antifouling properties.

[0005] The invention provides a hydrophobic antifouling coating and a preparation method thereof. The hydrophobic antifouling coating comprises 100 parts by weight of a polyurethane emulsion with a curing amount of 50-60%, 30-50 parts by weight of modified titanium dioxide, and 0.7-1.2 parts by weight of a defoaming agent.

[0006] The preparation method comprises the following steps: adding polyurethane emulsion, modified titanium dioxide and defoaming agent into a container, stirring and mixing the mixture to obtain a hydrophobic antifouling coating.

[0007] Preferably, the preparation method of modified titanium dioxide is:

[0008] (1) Add N,N-didehydroabietylamine longitudinal alkyl diamine, 3-isopropyl-dimethylbenzyl isocyanate, and dibutyltin dilaurate to toluene, react at 15-25°C for 3-4 hours, and concentrate under reduced pressure. The product is recrystallized in chloroform to obtain a styrene-based functional monomer. The reaction formula is:

[0009] .

[0010] (2) Add KH570 modified nano titanium dioxide to toluene, add styrene-based functional monomer after stirring, add azobisisobutyronitrile dropwise in a nitrogen atmosphere, stir and react at 60-75°C for 18-24h, filter, wash with N,N-dimethylformamide and ethanol in turn, and dry to obtain modified titanium dioxide.

[0011] Preferably, the amount of N,N-didehydroabietylamine longitudinal alkyl diamine used is 100 parts by weight, 3-isopropyl-dimethylbenzyl isocyanate is 68-72 parts by weight, and dibutyltin dilaurate is 0.5-0.6 parts by weight.

[0012] Preferably, the amount of KH570 modified nano titanium dioxide is 100 parts by weight, the amount of styrene-based functional monomer is 8-20 parts by weight, and the amount of azobisisobutyronitrile is 0.006-0.02 parts by weight.

[0013] Preferably, the preparation method of KH570 modified nano titanium dioxide is: add ethanol to water, add ammonia water to adjust the pH to 9-9.5, then add 100 parts by weight of nano titanium dioxide, ultrasonically disperse for 10 minutes, then heat to 75-80°C, add 2-4 parts by weight of ethanol solution containing KH570, stir and condense reflux reaction for 1-3 hours, cool and stand for aging for 12 hours, filter, wash with ethanol, and dry to obtain KH570 modified nano titanium dioxide.

[0014] Beneficial technical effects:

[0015] The present invention uses the olefin group of KH570 modified titanium dioxide as a polymerization reaction, and grafts a polymerization reaction with a styrene-based functional monomer, introduces a hydrophobic hydrogenated phenanthrene ring condensed ring and a polystyrene molecular chain on the surface of the nano titanium dioxide, and adds them to the polyurethane, thereby significantly improving the hydrophobicity of the paint film. After the nano titanium dioxide is modified, the dispersibility becomes better, and it is evenly dispersed in the polyurethane paint film, forming a micro-nano protrusion structure on the surface of the paint film, and under the synergistic effect, the paint film exhibits super-hydrophobic characteristics, and the water absorption rate is very low, which is conducive to improving the waterproof and antifouling performance of the coating.

[0016] The polystyrene polymer molecular chain grafted on the surface of the nano-titanium dioxide of the present invention contains urea groups, which form hydrogen bonding forces with the urethane groups of the polyurethane, thereby increasing the interfacial forces between the nano-titanium dioxide and the polyurethane, and is beneficial to improving the mechanical properties of the paint film, with higher tensile strength and elongation at break.

[0044] Comparative Example 2

[0052] Table 1 Coating performance test

[0053]

[0054] After testing, the unmodified nano titanium dioxide added to the polyurethane coating of Comparative Example 1 is easy to agglomerate, has poor dispersibility in the polyurethane coating and paint film, is difficult to form a micro-nano protrusion structure, has a low water contact angle, does not reach the super-hydrophobic level, has a large water absorption rate, and has poor waterproof and antifouling properties. In addition, nano titanium dioxide has poor compatibility with polyurethane, has a great influence on the mechanical properties of the polyurethane film, and has low tensile strength and elongation at break.

[0055] Embodiment 1-5 utilizes styrene-based functional monomer to carry out graft polymerization modification on KH570 modified titanium dioxide, introduces hydrophobic hydrogenated phenanthrene ring condensed ring and polystyrene molecular chain on the surface of nano titanium dioxide, adds to polyurethane, significantly improves the hydrophobicity of paint film, at the same time, after modification, nano titanium dioxide has better dispersibility, is evenly dispersed in polyurethane paint film, forms micro-nano protrusion structure on the surface of paint film, makes paint film show super hydrophobic property under synergistic effect, water contact angle reaches 150.4-156.8°, and water absorption rate is very low, is conducive to improving the waterproof and antifouling performance of coating. At the same time, the polystyrene polymer molecular chain grafted on the surface of nano titanium dioxide contains urea group (-NH-CO-N-), forms hydrogen bond force with carbamate group (-NH-CO-O-) of polyurethane, can improve the interface force between nano titanium dioxide and polyurethane, is conducive to improving the mechanical properties of paint film, has higher tensile strength and elongation at break.

[0056] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 2 added KH570 modified titanium dioxide, and the dispersibility in polyurethane became better, but the water contact angle of the coating film was only 128.7°C, which did not reach the super hydrophobic level, and the waterproof and antifouling performance was poor.

[0057] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 3 uses divinylbenzene to graft-modify KH570 modified titanium dioxide, and does not introduce hydrophobic hydrogenated phenanthrene ring condensed rings on the surface of nano-titanium dioxide, resulting in a low water contact angle of the paint film, which does not reach the super-hydrophobic level, and the grafted polystyrene polymer molecular chain does not contain urea groups, which makes it difficult to form hydrogen bonding forces with polyurethane, and cannot improve the interfacial force between nano-titanium dioxide and polyurethane, resulting in the tensile strength and elongation at break of the paint film being lower than those in Example 1.

[0058] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
