Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of coatings, and specifically to an environmentally friendly waterproof coating layer and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Epoxy resins coatings are widely used in fields such as mechanical instruments, electronic and electrical, automotive and marine, and construction. Traditional epoxy resins have problems such as poor toughness and easy cracking, which will affect their anti-corrosion performance. The toughening modification of epoxy resins is a research hotspot. Polyurethane is a high-molecular compound with high toughness and excellent elasticity, and can be used as a toughening agent, which has important applications in high-molecular materials such as epoxy resins. Usually, functional groups such as amino groups and carboxyl groups need to be introduced into the polyurethane molecular chain to make terminal amino polyurethane, terminal carboxyl polyurethane, etc., and react with epoxy resins to cure, improving the interfacial bonding performance between the two, so as to achieve good toughening effects. Chinese Patent CN109651922B discloses a waterborne polyurethane toughened waterborne epoxy resin anti-corrosion coating and a preparation method thereof. Using polyisocyanate, oligomeric polyol, hydrophilic monomer, small molecule chain extender, amine chain extender, etc. as raw materials, the prepared waterborne polyurethane containing active hydrogen can improve the impact resistance, flexibility, corrosion resistance and other properties of epoxy resins. However, the preparation raw materials of this waterborne polyurethane are relatively complicated, and the waterborne polyurethane contains hydrophilic polyethers, carboxyl groups, etc. When added to the epoxy resin coating, it will increase the water absorption rate of the coating layer and affect the water resistance and waterproof performance of the coating. It is not conducive to the practical application of the coating layer in outdoor buildings such as road bridges, roof exterior walls, etc. Summary of the Invention

The structural formula is or , where n is any integer from 10 to 16.

The side chains of the modified polyurethane toughening agent contain multiple alkyl long chains, which form physical chain entanglement with the epoxy resin molecular chains, forming an interpenetrating network structure, significantly improving the interfacial bonding performance between polyurethane and epoxy resin, thereby enabling the polyurethane toughening agent to exhibit better toughening effects. At the same time, the toughening agent contains a rigid benzene ring structure, greatly enhancing the impact resistance, impact strength, and flexural strength of the epoxy resin.
[0016] The multiple alkyl long chains contained in the side chains of the modified polyurethane toughening agent of the present invention have stronger hydrophobicity, forming a hydrophobic network in the epoxy resin matrix, which is beneficial to reducing the water absorption rate and improving its waterproof performance. This enables the epoxy resin coating to have better practical applications in outdoor building fields such as road bridges, roof exteriors, etc. Specific embodiments

[0051] (4) Add 100 g of epoxy resin E44, 10 g of modified polyurethane toughening agent, 6.8 g of ethylenediamine, 0.6 g of defoamer BYK-A530, 0.5 g of leveling agent TEGO-2300, and 0.3 g of wetting agent TEGO Wet270 to 140 mL of n-butanol solvent, stir and mix evenly to obtain the environmentally friendly waterproof coating; pour the coating on the surface of the substrate, bake and cure at 80 °C for 3 h first, then cure at 130 °C for 3 h, and finally cure at 145 °C for 1.5 h to obtain the environmentally friendly waterproof coating layer.
[0052] Test the impact resistance of the coating according to the method of GB / T 1732-2020. Pour the coating into a mold, and make a cast specimen by thermal curing. Test the impact strength and flexural strength of the cast specimen according to the method of GB / T 2567-2008.

[0054] Table 1 Coating Performance Test
[0055]
[0056] After testing, the epoxy resin coatings of Comparative Example 1 have low impact resistance, impact strength and flexural strength, poor toughness, unsatisfactory mechanical properties, and a large water absorption rate. The side chains of the modified polyurethane toughening agent added to the epoxy resin coatings of Examples 1-4 contain multiple long alkyl chains, which form physical chain entanglement with the epoxy resin molecular chains, forming an interpenetrating network structure, significantly improving the interfacial bonding performance between polyurethane and epoxy resin, so that the modified polyurethane toughening agent shows a better toughening effect. At the same time, the toughening agent contains a rigid benzene ring structure, greatly enhancing the toughness and mechanical properties of the epoxy resin, and having higher impact resistance, impact strength and flexural strength. And the multiple long alkyl chains contained in the side chain of the polyurethane toughening agent have stronger hydrophobicity, avoiding the problem of the increased hydrophilicity and water absorption rate of the epoxy resin caused by the addition of hydrophilic polyurethane. A large number of long alkyl chains form a hydrophobic network in the epoxy resin matrix, which is beneficial to reducing the water absorption rate of the coating and improving the water resistance and waterproof performance.
[0057] Compared with Example 1, in Comparative Example 2, conventional 4,4'-biphenol was used as a raw material, and the prepared polyurethane toughening agent did not contain multiple long alkyl chains, making it difficult to form physical chain entanglement with the epoxy resin molecular chains, and not improving the interfacial bonding performance between polyurethane and epoxy resin, resulting in a poor toughening effect of the polyurethane toughening agent, low impact resistance, impact strength and flexural strength of the epoxy resin, and the addition of hydrophilic polyether molecular chains in the polyurethane toughening agent leading to an increase in the water absorption rate of the epoxy resin and a deterioration in the water resistance and waterproof performance. In Comparative Example 3, the alkyl diol monomer contained only one long alkyl chain, and the physical chain entanglement between the prepared polyurethane toughening agent and the epoxy resin molecular chains was low, and the interfacial bonding performance was lower than that of Example 1, resulting in a poor toughening effect of the polyurethane toughening agent, and the impact resistance, impact strength and flexural strength being lower than those of Example 1. Moreover, with fewer long alkyl chains, the hydrophobicity of the polyurethane toughening agent was lower, resulting in a higher water absorption rate of the epoxy resin than that of Example 1 and unsatisfactory water resistance and waterproof performance.
[0058] The preferred specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those of ordinary skill in the art can make many modifications and variations based on the concept of the present invention without creative work. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art in the technical field of the present invention based on the concept of the present invention through logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiments on the basis of the prior art should fall within the protection scope determined by the claims.
