Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of coatings, in particular to an anti-fouling polyurethane coating and a production method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] As an important polymer material, polyurethane coating has excellent adhesion and flexibility, and is widely used in the fields of building decoration, furniture manufacturing and automobile industry. However, with the increasing requirements of modern industry for material performance, the traditional polyurethane coating has exposed many technical bottlenecks in the long-term application process, especially in the aspects of anti-fouling and wear resistance. In actual use, the surface of the coating formed after the curing of the polyurethane coating is easy to adsorb dust particles, oily pollutants and dyed liquids in the air, and needs to be cleaned frequently. However, frequent cleaning will cause the surface of the polyurethane coating to be scratched, affecting the service life of the polyurethane coating. In addition, since the polyurethane coating does not have antibacterial effect, it greatly limits its application boundary. In the environment with high hygiene requirements such as medical facilities and food processing equipment, the general polyurethane coating does not have the ability to inhibit the growth of microorganisms. In a humid environment, the surface of the coating is easy to form a breeding ground for bacteria and mold, which not only causes pollution but also serves as a medium for disease transmission, affecting the safety of use.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the patent with publication number CN115340814B discloses a preparation and application of a cationic polyurethane antibacterial coating. A kind of imidazole cationic aromatic diol polyurethane chain extender diethanolamine-di (phenylimidazole salt amido) s-triazine compound is synthesized by using phenylimidazole, chloroethylamine hydrochloride and diethanolamine-s-triazine as reactants, and participates in the chain extension reaction of polyurethane. The polyurethane hard segment obtained by polymerization contains rigid aromatic ring and s-triazine ring structure. Although this patent improves the thermal stability and mechanical comprehensive performance of polyurethane by preparing a small molecule chain extender, and also endows the polyurethane coating with excellent antibacterial performance, it does not improve the anti-fouling performance of the polyurethane coating. Because the structure contains hydrophilic groups, it may cause oil stains to adhere to the surface of the coating, which needs to be cleaned frequently in actual use, otherwise it will affect the stability of the low surface energy interface on the surface of the coating and the long-term antibacterial effect, and increase the labor cost. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application aims to provide an anti-fouling polyurethane coating and a production method thereof, which solves the following technical problems: (1) the anti-fouling ability of ordinary polyurethane coating is poor, and the formed coating needs to be cleaned frequently; (2) the wear resistance of ordinary polyurethane coating is generally poor and easy to scratch; (3) ordinary polyurethane coating does not have antibacterial ability, which limits its application field.

[0005] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] An antifouling polyurethane coating comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 20-25 parts isophorone diisocyanate, 15-20 parts polytetrahydrofuran ether diol, 0.3-0.5 parts organotin catalyst, 5-8 parts antifouling guar gum, 3-5 parts 1,4-butanediol, 1-2 parts triethylamine, 4-6 parts antibacterial nanosheets, 80-100 parts deionized water, and 2-3 parts defoamer.

[0007] Furthermore, the organotin catalyst is either dibutyltin dilaurate or stannous octoate; the neutralizing agent is triethylamine; and the defoamer is dimethyl silicone oil.

[0008] Furthermore, the preparation method of the antifouling gel includes the following steps:

[0009] S1: Place guar gum in acetone, mix and stir thoroughly, introduce nitrogen gas, add dimethylvinylchlorosilane, heat and reflux to react, collect the product to obtain ethylene-modified guar gum.

[0010] S2: Ethylated guar gum is placed in anhydrous ethanol, perfluorohexyl ethyl acrylate and an initiator are added, the temperature is raised to 55-65℃, the reaction is carried out for 6-8 hours, the product is collected after vacuum distillation, and antifouling guar gum is obtained.

[0011] In this scheme, through a reflux reaction, the hydroxyl groups in the gellan gum structure react with the silanol groups in the dimethylvinylchlorosilane structure, introducing alkenyl and organosilicon into the gellan gum structure to obtain ethylene-based gellan gum. Then, under the action of an initiator, the alkenyl groups in the ethylene-based gellan gum structure undergo a free radical polymerization reaction with the alkenyl groups in the perfluorohexyl ethyl acrylate structure to obtain an antifouling gellan gum. This antifouling gellan gum structure contains both organofluorine and organosilicon. Fluorine atoms have extremely low surface energy, making it difficult for stains to adhere to the coating surface. Organosilicon is hydrophobic, which can reduce the surface energy of the material and has good chemical stability. Combining organofluorine and organosilicon can greatly reduce the surface energy of the coating, giving it excellent antifouling ability. At the same time, using gellan gum as a polymer backbone, it can participate in the preparation process of polyurethane coatings, exhibiting excellent compatibility. Embedding small molecules of organofluorine and organosilicon into the polymer backbone forms a protective effect, making it difficult for the effective components to migrate during actual use, thus obtaining a longer-lasting antifouling effect.

[0012] Furthermore, in step S1, the heating and reflux reaction time is 12-18 hours.

[0013] Further, in step S2, the initiator is either azobisisobutyronitrile or azobisisoheptanenitrile.

[0014] Furthermore, the method for preparing the antibacterial nanosheets includes the following steps:

[0015] SS1: Papyrrolidone and 4-dimethylaminobenzoyl chloride were placed in chloroform, a catalyst was added, and the mixture was stirred thoroughly for 6-8 hours. After filtration and separation, the mixture was washed, vacuum dried, soaked in deionized water for 20-30 minutes, and vacuum dried again. The product was then collected to obtain modified palyrrolidone.

[0016] SS2: Modified palygorskite and 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride were placed in anhydrous ethanol, ultrasonically dispersed for 10-15 min, heated to react, filtered, washed, and the product was collected to obtain antibacterial nanosheets.

[0017] In this method, under the action of a catalyst, the hydroxyl groups on the surface of palygorskite interact with the acyl chloride groups in the 4-dimethylaminobenzoyl chloride structure to obtain modified palygorskite. Then, through a heated reaction, the tertiary amines on the surface of the modified palygorskite undergo a quaternization reaction with the epoxy groups in the 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride structure to obtain antibacterial nanosheets containing bisquaternary ammonium groups. These antibacterial nanosheets possess a unique layered structure, effectively isolating pollutants and enhancing the antifouling ability of the coating. Furthermore, the introduction of nanoparticles effectively improves the wear resistance of the coating, making it less prone to wear and extending its service life. Simultaneously, the bisquaternary ammonium groups introduced on its surface effectively disrupt bacterial cell membranes and interact with intracellular proteins, causing protein denaturation and thus damaging cell structure and function, effectively enhancing the antibacterial ability of the coating and enabling it to meet the needs of various environments. Additionally, the active hydroxyl groups introduced on its surface can participate in the preparation process of polyurethane coatings, forming cross-linked structures through chemical bonding, further enhancing the antifouling and wear resistance of the polyurethane coating.

[0018] Furthermore, in step SS1, the catalyst is pyridine.

[0019] Furthermore, in step SS2, the temperature of the heating reaction is 65-75°C, and the time is 6-8 hours.

[0020] A method for producing an antifouling polyurethane coating includes the following preparation steps:

[0021] Step 1: Mix isophorone diisocyanate and polytetrahydrofuran ether diol evenly, introduce nitrogen gas, add organotin catalyst, heat to 50-55℃ and react for 1-1.5h, continue to heat to 75-85℃ and react for 1-1.5h to obtain polyurethane prepolymer;

[0022] Step 2: Add anti-fouling gellan gum and 1,4-butanediol to the polyurethane prepolymer, heat to 80-85℃ and react for 5-6 hours, then cool to 45-55℃ and add neutralizing agent and antibacterial nanosheets. Continue to react for 1-1.5 hours, then add deionized water and defoamer, stir thoroughly for 2-3 hours, and collect the product after natural defoaming to obtain polyurethane coating.

[0023] Furthermore, in step two, the stirring rate for thorough mixing is 300-500 r / min.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0025] This invention incorporates anti-fouling gel and antibacterial nanosheets into the preparation process of polyurethane coatings, resulting in coatings with excellent anti-fouling properties, wear resistance, and antibacterial capabilities. These coatings are not easily damaged during use, meet the needs of various environments, and have a long service life.

[0026] Of course, any product implementing this invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0058] Performance testing

[0059] The polyurethane coatings prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 3 were applied to steel plates meeting specifications and cured at 100°C for 1 hour to prepare samples meeting specifications.

[0060]

[0061] As shown in the table above, the samples prepared in Examples 1-3 all exhibit excellent wear resistance, antibacterial properties, and stain resistance, meeting the usage requirements in various environments.
