Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of defoamers, and in particular to a polyether siloxane defoamer for water-based coatings and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the acceleration of industrialization and increasingly stringent environmental standards, water-based paints are gradually replacing traditional oil-based paints in the market, becoming the mainstream choice due to their low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, good safety, and ease of use. However, water-based paints are prone to bubbles during production and application. These bubbles can cause defects in the paint film, affecting its appearance and performance.
[0003] To address this issue, defoamers are widely used in water-based coatings. They disrupt the stability of bubbles through the principle of incompatibility, causing them to burst quickly. However, the carrier materials of traditional defoamers are not fully compatible with the coating system, making it difficult for the two to blend evenly. The coating system will regard the defoamer as a "foreign substance," resulting in defects such as craters on the paint film surface. In addition, defoamers have poor dispersion in the coating and tend to accumulate in localized areas, preventing them from exerting their effect evenly. This in turn affects the stability and sustainability of the defoaming effect, making it difficult to meet the water-based coatings' requirements for high compatibility, good stability, and excellent dispersibility of defoamers. This can lead to surface defects such as craters and pinholes in the paint film, which not only affects the coating's aesthetics but can also weaken its protective properties and shorten its service life.
[0004] Chinese invention patent publication number CN119097962A discloses a polyether siloxane defoamer for water-based coatings and its preparation method. The defoamer comprises polyether-modified silicone oil, silicone paste, an emulsifier, and an additive, the latter including a perfluoroalkylethanol polyoxyethylene ether. The defoamer in this patent effectively reduces defects such as craters and pinholes in water-based coatings, but its antibacterial properties are poor. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a polyether siloxane defoamer for water-based coatings and a preparation method thereof.
[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions:
[0007] A polyether siloxane defoamer for water-based coatings, comprising the following raw materials in parts by weight:
[0008] Polyether modified silicone oil: 60-75 parts, silicone paste: 5-8 parts, dispersant: 3-5 parts, silicon dioxide: 2-4 parts, emulsifier: 5-10 parts, surfactant: 2-5 parts;
[0009] The emulsifier is prepared by the following method:
[0010] S1: N-(4-(2,5-dioxo-4-oxazolidinyl)butyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroacetamide undergoes a ring-opening reaction under the action of n-hexylamine to obtain a fluorine-containing amide polymer;
[0011] S2: Fluoroamide polymer reacts with sodium azide to form azide;
[0012] S3: An azide compound reacts with N,N,N-trimethylpent-4-yn-1-amine quaternary ammonium salt under the action of cuprous bromide to form an emulsifier.
[0013] In step S1, the mass ratio of N-(4-(2,5-dioxo-4-oxazolidinyl)butyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroacetamide and n-hexylamine is (18-20):1.
[0014] The mass ratio of the fluorine-containing amide polymer to sodium azide in step S2 is (2-3):1.
[0015] In the step S3, the mass ratio of the azide compound to the N,N,N-trimethylpent-4-yn-1-amine quaternary ammonium salt is (2-4):1.
[0016] The dispersant is prepared by the following method:
[0017] A1: Lignin reacts with concentrated sulfuric acid to form sulfonated lignin;
[0018] A2: Sulfonated lignin reacts with dodecane bromide in the presence of sodium hydroxide to produce alkyl-modified lignin;
[0019] A3: Alkyl-modified lignin reacts with propylene oxide in the presence of phosphoric acid to form a dispersant.
[0020] The mass ratio of lignin to concentrated sulfuric acid in step A1 is 6:1.
[0021] In step A2, the mass ratio of sulfonated lignin to brominated dodecane is 3:1.
[0022] In step A3, the feed mass ratio of the alkyl-modified lignin to propylene oxide is 7:1.
[0023] The surfactant is prepared by compounding perfluoroalkylethanol polyoxyethylene ether and polyethylene glycol phosphate in a weight ratio of 4:1.
[0024] A method for preparing a polyether siloxane defoamer for water-based coatings comprises the following steps:
[0025] (1) Weigh by weight: polyether modified silicone oil: 60-75 parts, silicone paste: 5-8 parts, dispersant: 3-5 parts, silicon dioxide: 2-4 parts, emulsifier: 5-10 parts, surfactant: 2-5 parts;
[0026] (2) The polyether modified silicone oil, silicone paste, dispersant, silicon dioxide, emulsifier and surfactant are mixed in proportion and emulsified in an emulsifying disperser for 20-40 minutes to obtain a polyether silicone defoamer for water-based coatings.
[0027] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention include:
[0028] (1) The emulsifier prepared by the present invention achieves dual optimization of dispersibility and compatibility: its amphiphilic structure and cationic properties significantly improve the dispersion efficiency, while the polar / non-polar groups ensure high compatibility with the polyether siloxane system.
[0029] (2) The dispersant prepared by the present invention has amphiphilic properties through the hydrophilicity of the sulfonic acid group and the hydrophobicity of the dodecyl group, which significantly reduces the interfacial tension and promotes the uniform dispersion of the polyether siloxane. In terms of defoaming performance, the strong affinity between the dodecyl group and the hydrophobic group of the siloxane accelerates the spreading of the defoamer on the surface of the foam liquid film, and the rigid skeleton of lignin is embedded in the liquid film to destroy the continuity, and the electrostatic repulsion of the sulfonic acid group cooperates to achieve efficient foam breaking.

The solid was separated by centrifugation and washed three times with deionized water (200 ml each time). The solid was then dried under vacuum at 50°C for 24 h to obtain a dispersant. In this reaction, the unreacted hydroxyl groups in the lignin underwent a ring-opening reaction with the epoxy groups in the propylene oxide.

[0092] Level 4: Almost no visible shrinkage cavities, with only a few tiny defects (diameter <0.2mm) found under specific light angles;
[0093] Level 5: The paint film is completely smooth and flat, without any shrinkage holes, depressions or orange peel phenomena, and the surface is evenly reflective.
[0094] Antibacterial test: refer to GB / T21866-2008.
[0095] Table 1
[0096]
[0097] The emulsifier prepared by the present invention has a strong polar quaternary ammonium group, which can effectively reduce the interfacial tension between polyether siloxane and aqueous / oily medium, and promote the uniform dispersion of silicone oil droplets. The cationic characteristic of the quaternary ammonium salt gives the emulsifier positive charge, prevents reunion through electrostatic repulsion, and significantly improves the kinetic stability of the dispersion system. The polar head group of the quaternary ammonium salt combines with the polyether segment in the polyether siloxane through hydrogen bonds or dipole interactions, enhancing the compatibility of the emulsifier and the defoamer main structure and reducing the phase separation risk. In addition, the triazole structure contained in the emulsifier can form specific interactions with bacterial target proteins through hydrogen bonds, inhibit key enzyme activity, and have a certain antibacterial effect.
[0098] The dispersant prepared by this invention imparts strong hydrophilicity to lignin through the introduction of sulfonic acid groups via sulfonation. The grafting of dodecane bromide into a long-chain alkyl hydrophobic group creates an amphiphilic structure, which aligns the dispersant within the polyether siloxane system, reducing interfacial tension, preventing defoamer aggregation, and improving system stability. The epoxy groups of propylene oxide undergo ring opening under acidic conditions, undergoing a nucleophilic addition reaction with the phenolic hydroxyl groups of lignin to form polyether side chains. The steric hindrance of the polyether side chains prevents particle aggregation and improves dispersion efficiency. They also reduce surface tension, improving wettability and interfacial compatibility. The introduction of ether bonds (COC) enhances molecular chain flexibility and reduces the risk of chain breakage at high temperatures.
