Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polyurethane technology, specifically to a polyurethane resin for nail polish gel and its preparation process. Background Technology

[0002] Waterborne polyurethane uses water as a solvent, making it environmentally friendly and possessing excellent film-forming properties. It is widely used in nail polish, adhesives, coatings, and other fields. Waterborne polyurethane is typically formulated using 2,2-dimethylolpropionic acid as a waterborne chain extender and neutralizing agents such as triethylamine. Adding hydroxyethyl methacrylate or similar substances for end-capping during the polymerization reaction yields UV-curable alkenyl-terminated polyurethanes with high reactivity and fast curing speed. However, in practical applications, hydroxyethyl methacrylate-terminated polyurethanes only contain alkenyl groups at the end positions, resulting in fewer photocurable crosslinking sites, poor curing effect, and lower mechanical and other properties of the cured resin.

[0003] Developing high-performance chain extenders for polyurethane is a research hotspot. Chinese patent CN112500772B discloses a betaine cationic waterborne polyurethane antibacterial coating and its preparation method. Using polyester diol, diisocyanate, betaine chain extender, small molecule chain extender, cationic hydrophilic chain extender, glacial acetic acid, etc. as raw materials, the prepared waterborne polyurethane emulsion has good antibacterial properties. However, this waterborne polyurethane does not have a UV curing effect, which is not conducive to the practical application of polyurethane in UV-cured nail polish and other products. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention solves the following technical problems: it addresses the issues of poor water dispersibility and low mechanical properties of polyurethane resin used in nail polish gel.

[0005] The technical solution of this invention: A preparation process for polyurethane resin for nail polish gel:

[0006] (1) Use a solvent and an ethyl N,N-dihydroxyethyl-3-aminopropionate (structural formula: ) in a molar ratio of 1:(1.2-1.4) to form ethyl N,N-dihydroxyethyl-3-aminopropionate. The bromoalkylene was added to a reaction vessel and stirred at 50-65°C for 24-36 hours. The mixture was then distilled under reduced pressure, and the product was recrystallized from an aqueous ethanol solution to obtain the intermediate. The structural formula of the bromoalkylene is [insert structural formula here]. n is any integer from 1 to 4. The reaction formula is:

[0007] .

[0008] (2) adding the aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, ethanol and the intermediate into a reaction container, stirring and refluxing condensation at 90-100 DEG C for 3-4 h, removing ethanol under reduced pressure, adding saturated sodium chloride solution, extracting with ethyl acetate, removing the ethyl acetate extract under reduced pressure, and recrystallizing the product in an aqueous ethanol solution to obtain the vinyl chain extender.

[0009] .

[0010] (3) under a nitrogen atmosphere, adding the vacuum-dried dihydric alcohol and isophorone diisocyanate into a reaction container, reacting at 70-75 DEG C for 2-2.5 h, then adding acetone, the diol chain extender, the vinyl chain extender and dibutyl tin dilaurate, reacting at 40-45 DEG C for 1-1.5 h, adding water, stirring and dispersing, and removing acetone under reduced pressure to obtain the polyurethane resin for nail polish.

[0011] wherein the solvent is ethanol or acetonitrile.

[0012] wherein the concentration of the aqueous sodium hydroxide solution is (2.5-3) mol / L.

[0013] wherein the molar ratio of the dihydric alcohol, isophorone diisocyanate, diol chain extender, vinyl chain extender and dibutyl tin dilaurate is 1:(2.6-2.8):(0.7-1):(0.4-0.6):(0.012-0.016).

[0014] wherein the dihydric alcohol is one of polyethylene glycol and polytetrahydrofuran ether diol.

[0015] wherein the diol chain extender is one of 1,4-butanediol and 1,6-hexanediol.

[0016] The polyurethane resin for nail polish is prepared by subjecting N,N-dihydroxyethyl-3-aminopropionic acid ethyl ester and 3-bromopropylene to quaternary ammonium reaction, hydrolyzing the ester group to obtain the vinyl chain extender, and then subjecting the vinyl chain extender, dihydric alcohol and isophorone diisocyanate to polymerization reaction.

[0017] The application introduces active alkenyl groups into the side chain of the polyurethane resin through the vinyl chain extender, so that the double bond conversion rate of the resin is higher, the photocuring speed is faster, the photocuring reaction of the resin is accelerated, and the curing time is reduced. After introducing the alkenyl group into the side chain of the polyurethane resin, the photocuring crosslinking sites and the crosslinking degree of the molecular chain of the resin are increased, so that the mechanical properties of the resin cured product are improved, and higher tensile strength and elongation at break are exhibited. The prepared polyurethane resin has good practical application in water-based photocuring nail polish glue and the like. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037]

[0038] ​The storage stability of the polyurethane resin was tested according to the method specified in GB / T 6753.3-1986.

[0039] Double bond conversion rate test. The specific method is: 28 g of active diluent butyl acrylate and 8.4 g of photoinitiator 1173 are added to the polyurethane resin prepared in each example and the comparative example. After stirring, the resin is dropped into two clean NaCl salt pieces, dried, and then irradiated and cured in a 30 W ultraviolet light curing machine for 40 s, with the light irradiation distance controlled at 12 cm. The resin cured product is subjected to infrared spectrum analysis to determine the conversion rate of the alkenyl double bond. Double bond conversion rate = (A0-A t ) / A0x 100%; A0is the peak area integral at 1635 cm -1 in the infrared spectrum of the resin before ultraviolet irradiation. A t is the peak area integral at 1635 cm -1 in the infrared spectrum of the resin cured product after 40 s of ultraviolet irradiation.

[0040] The resin cured product is dried, and the tensile properties of the resin cured product are tested according to the method of GB / T 528-2009. The test results are as shown in Table 1.

[0041] Table 1 Performance test of polyurethane resin

[0042] Storage stability (months) Double bond conversion (%) Tensile strength (MPa) Elongation at break (%) Example 1 ≧8 73.3 21.2 378.4 Example 2 ≧11 77.1 29.7 345.0 Example 3 ≧12 81.8 35.0 281.5 Example 4 ≧12 80.5 38.6 232.4 Comparative Example 1 ≧1 - - - Comparative Example 2 ≧5 73.0 21.6 375.8 Comparative Example 3 ≧7 64.2 13.7 217.3

[0043] After testing, the storage stability of the polyurethane resin of Examples 1-4 reaches 7-12 months, mainly because the addition of the vinyl chain extender containing the hydrophilic betaine group (composed of quaternary ammonium salt cations and carboxylate anions) makes the polyurethane have better hydrophilicity and water dispersibility, and can be uniformly dispersed in water, so that the prepared water-based resin emulsion has good storage stability. At the same time, the polyurethane resin side chain contains active alkenyl groups, the double bond conversion rate is higher, and the photocuring speed is faster, which is conducive to accelerating the photocuring reaction of the resin and reducing the curing time. And after introducing alkenyl groups into the polyurethane resin side chain, the photocuring crosslinking sites and molecular chain crosslinking degree of the resin are increased, which is conducive to improving the mechanical properties of the resin cured product, and higher tensile strength and elongation at break are exhibited.

[0044] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 1 only added 1,4-butanediol chain extender, the prepared polyurethane resin does not contain hydrophilic betaine groups, resulting in poor water dispersibility of the polyurethane, and poor storage stability of the emulsion. And the polyurethane does not contain alkenyl groups, which cannot be cured by ultraviolet light, and cannot be made into resin cured product. Comparative Example 2 uses intermediate as chain extender, the obtained polyurethane resin only contains hydrophilic quaternary ammonium salt cations, and the water dispersibility of the polyurethane and the storage stability of the emulsion are lower than those of Example 1. Comparative Example 3 uses conventional 2,2-dimethylol propionic acid as water-based chain extender, the obtained polyurethane resin has good water dispersibility and storage stability, but the water-based polyurethane needs to add additional neutralizing agent triethylamine to neutralize the carboxyl group. At the same time, hydroxyethyl methacrylate is added for end capping, and the obtained polyurethane only contains photo-curable alkenyl groups at the end, and the double bond conversion rate is low, which is not conducive to improving the photo-curing speed and reducing the photo-curing time, and the resin has fewer photo-curing crosslinking sites and weaker molecular chain crosslinking degree, resulting in lower tensile strength and elongation at break of the resin cured product than those of Example 1.

[0045] The specific embodiments are only an explanation of the present application, which is not a limitation of the present application, and those skilled in the art can make modifications to the embodiments without creative contribution after reading the specification, but as long as it is within the scope of the claims of the present application, it is protected by the patent law.
