Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an epoxy resin curing agent, in particular to an epoxy resin curing agent for stripping tower corrosion protection with high mechanical strength, good adhesion, good moisture and heat resistance and good acid and alkali resistance and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of polymer materials. Background Art

[0002] Metals will react chemically or electrochemically with the medium on their surface or in the surrounding environment, causing the metal to be damaged and lose its original properties. Metal corrosion is a very serious problem faced by people. The amount of metal materials scrapped due to corrosion each year is equivalent to more than 20% of the metal production in that year.

[0003] Stripping tower is a common equipment in the chemical industry. It is used to recover absorbed solutes and separate absorbents from solutes for regeneration. It is also used to remove light components in liquids. For example, steam is often used as a stripping agent in the oil refining industry to remove light components from oil products. Stripping towers have complex operating conditions and a wide variety of contact media. During use, there are multiple factors that affect fluid stress corrosion, acid-base chemical corrosion, biological corrosion, etc. Therefore, the anti-corrosion of stripping towers is a major issue facing factories.

[0004] Using coatings to protect metals is the simplest and most effective method. Among them, epoxy resin coatings are widely used in anti-corrosion coatings due to their excellent adhesion and excellent chemical resistance. Faced with the high requirements for stripping tower corrosion protection, it is difficult for ordinary epoxy anti-corrosion coatings to achieve long-term high-quality protection, mainly because the performance of epoxy curing agents is limited. Aromatic amine curing agents have excellent heat resistance, acid resistance, and salt spray resistance, but poor adhesion and water resistance. Polyamide curing agents have excellent adhesion, water resistance, and salt spray resistance, but their heat resistance and acid resistance are poor. Therefore, they cannot meet the anti-corrosion requirements of stripping towers.

[0005] The invention performs two-step modification of polyamine by sulfonylation and epoxy addition. First, the sulfonamide group generated after sulfonylation has high bond energy and is difficult to hydrolyze under acidic and alkaline conditions, and the product has good acid and alkali resistance. Then, epoxy addition modification is performed to give the product excellent adhesion and water resistance. After appropriate raw material selection, excellent comprehensive properties such as hardness, flexibility, adhesion, hot water resistance, acid resistance, alkali resistance, etc. can be obtained, and the product is suitable for stripping tower corrosion protection.

[0095] Example 7 Performance Test

[0096] Epoxy resin (model 828 epoxy resin produced by Jiangsu Sanmu Chemical Co., Ltd., epoxy equivalent 185) was mixed evenly with the epoxy resin curing agent obtained in Examples 1-6 in proportion (mixing ratio = theoretical active hydrogen equivalent of curing agent / epoxy equivalent of epoxy resin*100%), and evenly coated on the tinplate to form a film with a film thickness of 40 μm.
