Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of coating material preparation, and specifically relates to a method for preparing an environmentally friendly UV varnish coating material. Background Art

[0002] UV varnish coating material is a surface treatment technology that uses ultraviolet (UV) irradiation to quickly cure. This coating material is usually composed of acrylate monomers, prepolymers, photoinitiators and other additives. UV varnish coating has been widely used in many industries due to its fast curing, environmental protection, excellent physical properties and diverse appearance effects.

[0003] Patent CN116410625B provides a modified UV varnish and a method for preparing a transparent antifouling coating based on the modified varnish. Fluorine-containing monomers and fluorosilanes are used as low surface energy substances to reduce surface energy and increase the hydrophobic and oleophobic angles, thereby giving the UV varnish antifouling properties. At the same time, fluorine-containing monomers and siloxanes undergo polymerization and cross-linking reactions during the UV curing process to form long polymer chains. The addition of fluorosilanes further increases the degree of cross-linking to form a cross-linked network structure, thereby improving the adhesion and hardness of the UV varnish on the substrate.

[0004] Photoinitiators are an important component in the synthesis of UV coating materials. Although the proportion in the formula is usually not high, they are indispensable. Although there are many types of initiators at present, many photoinitiators contain harmful substances, have low initiation efficiency and poor compatibility. For example, photoinitiator TPO is a photoinitiator commonly used in nail polish. However, the European light-curing coating ink industry has classified photoinitiator TPO as reproductive toxic in the CLP (classification, labeling and packaging) regulations. Photoinitiator TPO is likely to be reclassified by the EU as a reproductive toxicity Class 1B substance in CMR. Many organic solvents are often used, such as ethanol, acetone, and aromatic hydrocarbons. These volatile organic compounds are volatile, flammable, and not conducive to transportation. They are harmful to the human body and cause great pollution to the environment. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing an environmentally friendly UV varnish coating material in view of the shortcomings of the prior art in the synthesis process of UV varnish coating materials in terms of environmental protection. The method uses aliphatic polyurethane acrylate, modified polyester resin and prepolymer as main components to prepare a UV varnish coating material with good performance and environmental friendliness.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: An environment-friendly UV varnish coating material, comprising the following components in parts by weight: 35-45 parts of aliphatic polyurethane acrylate, 20-30 parts of modified polyester resin, 3-5 parts of photoinitiator, 20-30 parts of UV monomer, 5-10 parts of prepolymer, 0.5-1 part of leveling agent, 0.03-0.06 part of defoaming agent, 1-3 parts of diethylamine, 3-6 parts of dispersant, and 2-6 parts of solvent.

[0007] Furthermore, the functionality of the aliphatic polyurethane acrylate is 1-3, and the kinematic viscosity at 25 °C is 5000-8000 mPa·s.

[0008] Furthermore, the modified polyester resin is a polyester resin modified with sodium alginate and cinnamamide ethanol.

[0009] Furthermore, the prepolymer is obtained by reacting fructose, castor oil, and trans-1,4-cyclohexyl diisocyanate.

[0010] Furthermore, the photoinitiator is 1-hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone or ethyl 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl phenylphosphinate; the UV monomer is trimethylolpropane triacrylate or isobornyl methacrylate.

[0011] Furthermore, the leveling agent is Degussa Glide410 or BYK-333; the solvent is butyl acetate or propylene glycol methyl ether acetate; the dispersant is castor oil polyoxyethylene ether; the defoaming agent is BYK-024.

[0012] A preparation method of an environment-friendly UV varnish coating material, comprising the following steps: S1: Prepare the modified polyester resin; S2: Prepare the prepolymer; S3: Take 35-45 parts of aliphatic polyurethane acrylate, 20-30 parts of modified polyester resin, 3-5 parts of photoinitiator, 20-30 parts of UV monomer, 5-10 parts of prepolymer, 1-3 parts of diethylamine, and 2-6 parts of solvent, mix them, and stir and react at a temperature of 75-85 °C for 3-5 h; S4: Add 0.5-1 part of leveling agent, 0.03-0.06 part of defoaming agent, and 3-6 parts of dispersant to step S3, stir and react at a temperature of 40-50 °C for 0.5-1.5 h to obtain the environment-friendly UV varnish coating material.

[0013] Further, step S1 is specifically as follows: Mix 10 - 15 parts of sodium alginate and 15 - 25 parts of NaIO4 for 20 - 40 min; add 5 - 10 parts of ethylene glycol thereto, then add 10 - 15 parts of cinnamamide ethanol, and heat and react at a temperature of 60 - 70 °C for 30 - 50 min; cool down to 30 - 40 °C, mix 25 - 35 parts of polyester resin, 3 - 6 parts of sodium dodecyl sulfate and 80 - 100 parts of water, and perform ultrasonic treatment at 550 - 650 W for 10 - 20 min to obtain the modified polyester resin.

[0014] Further, step S2 is specifically as follows: Take 15 - 20 parts of fructose, 2 - 3 parts of resorcinol, and 40 - 60 parts of water and mix them, heat up to 55 - 65 °C and stir for 30 - 40 min; then add 0.3 - 0.5 parts of sodium hydroxide, and at a temperature of 75 - 85 °C, add 10 - 20 parts of castor oil and 5 - 10 parts of trans - 1,4 - cyclohexyl diisocyanate, and stir for 1.5 - 3.5 h to obtain a prepolymer.

[0015] Further, 5 - 10 parts of gelatinized starch are also added in step S4.

[0016] Aliphatic polyurethane acrylate is a high - performance polymer that combines the flexibility of polyurethane with the good mechanical properties and photocuring characteristics of acrylate. Such resins are usually prepared by reacting aliphatic isocyanates with polyols to form prepolymers, and then introducing hydroxyl - containing acrylate monomers to increase the photocurable acrylate double bonds. It has strong ultraviolet resistance: Since it does not contain an aromatic ring structure, aliphatic polyurethane acrylate performs well in outdoor environments and is not easily yellowed or degraded by ultraviolet irradiation; it has good long - term stability: Suitable for applications that need to be exposed to sunlight for a long time, such as automotive headlight covers, building exterior wall coatings, etc.; it has excellent optical properties: The aliphatic structure gives the material high transparency, suitable for applications with high requirements for optical properties, such as electronic display coatings, optical lens protective films, etc.; it reduces visual interference: The high transparency makes the coating hardly affect the appearance and color of the substrate itself; it combines hardness and elasticity: Aliphatic polyurethane acrylate combines the flexibility of polyurethane and the hardness of acrylate, making the coating have both certain elasticity and good abrasion resistance; UV photocuring technology: It contains acrylate double bonds and can be cured within a few seconds by UV light irradiation, greatly improving production efficiency; it has good adhesion to a variety of substrates (such as metals, plastics, wood, etc.) and has strong adaptability; it is environmentally friendly with low VOC emissions; it has good chemical corrosion resistance such as resistance to acids, alkalis, and solvents, and can effectively protect the substrate from chemical erosion; it is suitable for application scenarios that require high chemical resistance, such as chemical equipment and laboratory instruments.

[0017] Sodium alginate is a natural polysaccharide extracted from brown algae and is widely used in many fields such as food, medicine, cosmetics and industry; Sodium alginate has good biocompatibility, will not produce toxic reactions to the human body, and can be degraded by microorganisms in the natural environment, so it is very environmentally friendly; Sodium alginate can be used to prepare sustained-release or controlled-release drug carriers, and the drug release rate can be controlled by adjusting its cross-linking degree.

[0018] Cinnamamide ethanol is an organic compound, usually synthesized by the reaction of cinnamic acid and ethanolamine. Cinnamamide ethanol exhibits certain antibacterial activity, especially has a certain inhibitory effect on Gram-positive bacteria and some fungi; Cinnamamide ethanol contains functional groups such as phenolic hydroxyl groups, and these groups endow the compound with certain antioxidant ability, which helps to delay the oxidation and deterioration of oils and fats and extend the shelf life of products.

[0019] Castor oil is a natural vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the castor plant. It has a unique chemical composition and various industrial and medical uses. The main component of castor oil is ricinoleic acid, an unsaturated fatty acid containing a hydroxyl group with 18 carbon atoms, accounting for about 90% of the total fatty acid composition. Other minor components include linoleic acid, oleic acid, etc.; The uniqueness of ricinoleic acid lies in that it has a hydroxyl group (-OH) at the 12th carbon atom; Castor oil is easy to biodegrade and is friendly to the environment.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and beneficial effects of the present invention are: In the present invention, oxidized sodium alginate and cinnamamide ethanol are used to modify the polyester resin. Sodium alginate grafted with hydrophobic groups on the surface reacts with the polyester resin to improve the wear resistance of the polyester resin. Cinnamamide ethanol with carbon-carbon double bonds improves the integrity and firmness of the film after curing, and enhances the wear resistance and adhesion; A bio-based prepolymer is obtained by reacting fructose, castor oil and trans-1,4-cyclohexyl diisocyanate; Under the combined action of components such as aliphatic polyurethane acrylate, photoinitiator, environmentally friendly solvent, UV monomer, leveling agent, defoaming agent, diethylamine, dispersant, etc., the crosslinking density of the UV varnish coating is increased, and good flexibility can be maintained; At the same time, due to the compounding, the curing volume shrinkage is reduced, the mechanical strength is increased, and the performance enhancement effect is achieved.

When it is not sticky to the touch, it is considered cured; shrinkage rate: measure the shrinkage rate by the density method. First, measure the density before and after curing using the pycnometer method according to the standard GB / T 15223-2008, and calculate the shrinkage rate; strength: prepare a test sample under the curing condition of irradiating and curing with a 405-nm-wavelength laser beam for 3 minutes, and test the tensile strength and flexural strength according to GB / T 9341.
