Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of coatings, in particular to a bio-based polyurethane waterproof coating and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, with the increasingly stringent environmental regulations and the deepening of the concept of sustainable development, bio-based polyurethane coatings have attracted widespread attention due to their renewable and low VOC emission characteristics. Castor oil, as a typical bio-based polyol raw material, contains hydroxyl groups in its molecular structure, which can directly react with isocyanate to form a polyurethane network, and has formed a certain application basis in the field of coatings.

[0003] Castor oil, as an important natural bio-based material, has attracted widespread attention from researchers due to its excellent chemical reactivity and abundant chemical modification sites. Castor oil molecules contain various functional sites such as hydroxyl groups and double bonds, which can be functionalized by various chemical modification methods, thereby designing and preparing bio-based polymer materials with excellent performance. However, when castor oil is directly used to prepare polyurethane-based resins, the long non-polar segment in its molecular structure can easily lead to insufficient hydrophobicity of the coating, and the low hydroxyl functionality of natural castor oil (average about 2.7) and the significant influence of hydroxyl activity on steric hindrance can result in insufficient cross-linking network density formed by reaction with isocyanate. This structural defect directly manifests as low mechanical strength of the coating and often causes interfacial peeling. More notably, the high proportion of rigid cyclic structures in the molecular chain makes the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the material generally higher than -10℃, which can easily cause brittle fracture in low temperature environments (such as -25℃).

[0004] In recent years, the application of organosilicon and fluorine-containing compounds in high-performance coatings has gradually increased. Organosilicon materials can significantly improve the mechanical properties and durability of the coating due to their high chemical stability, low surface energy, and high cross-linking density. At the same time, the low surface energy and special hydrophobicity of fluorine-containing materials in their chemical structure can further improve the waterproof performance of the coating. However, traditional fluorine-silicon modified coatings are mainly based on petroleum-based raw materials, and their complex synthesis process and high production cost limit their large-scale promotion. Therefore, realizing fluorine-silicon organic cross-linking modification based on castor oil bio-based raw materials can not only significantly improve the material performance, but also meet the direction of green chemistry and sustainable development.

[0008] Preferably, the weight ratio of the castor oil methyl ester, 3-mercapto propyl triethoxysilane, 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-phenylpropanone, tetrahydrofuran, deionized water, anhydrous ethanol and tridecafluorooctyl triethoxysilane is 40-60:30.5-45.8:0.7-1:80-120:180-220:40-60:3.4-4.5.

[0009] Preferably, the castor oil methyl ester is obtained by methanol hydrolysis of castor oil.

[0010] Preferably, the preparation steps of the castor oil methyl ester are as follows: anhydrous methanol and potassium hydroxide are added into castor oil, heated to 43-48℃, stirred for 5-7 hours, then the reaction product is neutralized with sulfuric acid, the upper oil phase is washed with deionized water until neutral, and then the water is removed by rotary evaporation to obtain the castor oil methyl ester.

[0011] Preferably, the weight ratio of the anhydrous methanol, potassium hydroxide and castor oil is 8-12:0.4-0.6:40-60.

[0012] Preferably, the wavelength of the ultraviolet light irradiation is 365 nm, and the intensity is 6 mW / cm.

[0013] Preferably, the NCO content of the HDI trimer is 20-23 g / 100 g.

[0014] Preferably, the weight average molecular weight of the polytetrahydrofuran ether glycol is 800-1500.

[0015] Preferably, the filler is nano-silicon dioxide with an average particle size of 10-50 nm.

[0016] Preferably, the plasticizer is epoxy soybean oil.

[0017] Preferably, the ultraviolet absorber is UV-531.

[0018] Further, the application also provides a preparation method of the bio-based polyurethane waterproof coating, comprising the following steps: under the protection of nitrogen, the organofluorosilicon cross-linked castor oil is heated to 78-85 DEG C, and then dibutyltin dilaurate and HDI trimer are added, and stirring reaction is carried out for 2-3 h, and then the temperature is reduced to 60-68 DEG C, and then polytetrahydrofuran ether diol is added, and stirring reaction is continued for 30-50 min, and then 1, 4-butanediol is added, and stirring reaction is continued for 25-35 min, and then fillers, plasticizers and ultraviolet absorbers are added, and dispersion is carried out at 1800-2200 rpm for 20-30 min, and finally, under the vacuum degree of-0.093-7 MPa, the bio-based polyurethane waterproof coating is obtained by maintaining for 30-50 min.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the application are as follows:

[0020] The application significantly improves the comprehensive performance of the coating by preparing a coating material with an organofluorosilicon cross-linking structure through silanization modification of methyl ricinoleate. The organofluorosilicon cross-linking system combines the low surface energy characteristics of fluorocarbon chains and the high cross-linking stability of silicon-oxygen networks, so that the coating has excellent mechanical strength, water resistance and low-temperature flexibility. The introduction of fluorocarbon segments forms a hydrophobic layer on the surface of the coating, effectively reducing the free energy and permeability of water molecules on the surface of the coating, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the material. At the same time, the interpenetration of the silicon-oxygen network structure and the coating matrix gives the material higher strength and durability.

[0021] The application introduces methyl ricinoleate, which exhibits excellent controllability in molecular reactivity and network formation. The linear structure reduces the steric hindrance between molecules, promotes efficient grafting of silane components and forms a more uniform cross-linking structure. The synergistic effect of flexible ester segments and cross-linking networks improves the low-temperature bending performance of the coating by dispersing stress, effectively avoiding crack propagation. In addition, the thiol silane provides high chemical activity, further improving the regularity and functionalization degree of the molecular chain, so that the material achieves a perfect balance between surface performance and internal toughness. The coating prepared by the application has excellent comprehensive performance, wide application potential and market value. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0050] Table 1 Performance test results

[0051]

[0052] Data analysis:

[0053] From the data of examples 1-3 in Table 1, it can be seen that the coatings prepared by the present application exhibit excellent comprehensive performance in adhesion, water resistance, moisture permeability and low-temperature bending performance, which is mainly due to the organic fluorosilicon crosslinking system formed by the silanization modification of methyl ricinoleate, and the low surface energy characteristics of the fluorocarbon chain segment help to reduce the surface free energy of the coating. In the process of polyurethane chain extension, the flexible segment of polytetrahydrofuran ether diol and the rigid structure of HDI trimer form microphase separation, which may enhance the mechanical strength through the hard segment crystalline region, and the soft segment maintains the elastic deformation ability.

[0054] From the data of examples 2 and comparative example 1 in Table 1, it can be seen that example 2 exhibits more outstanding performance than comparative example 1, which may be due to the introduction of methyl ricinoleate, which enhances the reactivity of the coating and the controllability of the molecular structure. Compared with castor oil, methyl ricinoleate has a linear structure with smaller steric hindrance, which helps to graft 3-mercaptopropyl triethoxysilane, and is more conducive to crosslinking after silane hydrolysis, thereby forming a uniform crosslinking network, which improves the mechanical properties of the coating while reducing the permeation of water molecules. In addition, the moderate flexibility of the ester group and the structural stability of the siloxane network synergistically allow the material to disperse stress through the microzone slip of molecular chain segments during low-temperature deformation, avoiding crack propagation caused by stress concentration.

[0055] From the data of examples 2 and comparative example 2 in Table 1, it can be seen that compared with castor oil, organic fluorosilicon crosslinked castor oil can significantly improve the water resistance and low-temperature bending property of the coating, which is mainly due to the formation of a hydrophobic layer on the coating surface by the fluoralkyl chain, effectively reducing the adsorption energy of water molecules. The interpenetrating structure of the siloxane crosslinking network and the polyurethane matrix may produce a synergistic enhancement effect, in which the rigid siloxane network bears mechanical stress, and the elastic polyurethane matrix absorbs deformation energy. This composite structure may improve the flexibility of the material at low temperature by limiting the thermal motion of molecular chain segments.

[0056] From the data of examples 2 and comparative example 3 in Table 1, it can be seen that after replacing 3-mercaptopropyl triethoxysilane with methyl triethoxysilane, the adhesion, water resistance and low-temperature bending property of the coating are all decreased, which is mainly due to the high reactivity of mercapto groups, which may promote the click chemistry reaction between silane reagents and methyl ricinoleate, forming a more regular graft structure. This directional grafting may optimize the arrangement and orientation of molecular chains, allowing the fluorocarbon chain segment to be more orderly enriched on the surface of the coating.

[0057] As can be seen from the data of Example 2 and Comparative Example 4 in Table 1, the tridecafluorooctyltriethoxysilane not only significantly affects the water resistance of the coating, but also affects the low-temperature bending property, which is probably due to the steric hindrance effect of the fluorinated group regulating the spatial distribution of the crosslinking reaction, adjusting the crosslinking density, so that the coating has both surface hydrophobicity and internal toughness.

[0058] It should be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the above discussion of any of the embodiments is merely exemplary and is not intended to suggest that the scope of the application is limited to these examples; the above embodiments or technical features among different embodiments can also be combined, the steps can be implemented in any order, and there are many other changes of different aspects of the application as described above, which are not provided in details for the sake of brevity.
