Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of floor coatings, and specifically to a waterborne epoxy floor topcoat and its preparation process. Background Art

[0002] Epoxy resin coatings have the characteristics of relatively low cost, good abrasion resistance and high adhesion, and are often widely used as floor topcoats in the field of industrial floor coatings. With the continuous improvement of people's environmental awareness, epoxy floor coatings are gradually developing from traditional solvent-based coatings with high VOC content to environmentally friendly waterborne coatings with low toxicity and non-toxicity. Waterborne epoxy coatings use water as the dispersion medium, which is safe and reliable during storage, transportation and use, and has good construction operability. It has great potential, significance and application prospects, and has become the first choice in the floor coating market.

[0003] For waterborne epoxy coatings to obtain a uniform, stable and smooth coating, the curing agent plays a crucial role. The most widely used curing agent in waterborne epoxy coatings is amine curing agent. Traditional small-molecule amine curing agents generally have disadvantages such as too high reaction activity, short pot life, high toxicity and easy volatility, which will cause poor phenomena such as holes on the surface of the epoxy resin coating. Therefore, it is usually necessary to modify traditional small-molecule amine curing agents to meet the actual use requirements. Amine-modified waterborne epoxy curing agents can be mainly divided into three categories: amidated polyamines, polyamides and polyamine-epoxy resin complexes.

[0004] Waterborne epoxy curing agents use water as a solvent. Compared with organic solvents, water has higher heat of vaporization and surface tension, which makes the film-forming and drying time of waterborne epoxy curing agents longer and the wetting and dispersing performance poorer. When making paint, more small-molecule additives need to be added to help film formation, but this will reduce the water resistance and corrosion resistance of the coating film. Therefore, it is necessary to modify waterborne epoxy curing agents. Commonly used modification methods include organosilicon modification, polyurethane modification and Mannich amine modification. The Si-O bond in organosilicon is highly polar. Introducing it into epoxy resin can significantly enhance its water resistance and corrosion resistance, thereby improving the performance and application range of the epoxy system. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention independently developed a macromolecular amine curing agent to replace the existing commercial small-molecule amine curing agent. Using the macromolecular amine curing agent as the curing agent to promote the curing and crosslinking of waterborne epoxy resin, a waterborne epoxy floor topcoat is prepared, which has excellent water resistance and corrosion resistance, and meets the technical requirements specified in the standard of GB / T 22374-2018 "Floor Coating Materials".

[0008] Preferably, the photoinitiator is one of 2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenylacetophenone, 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-phenylpropanone, and 2,2-diethoxyacetophenone.

[0009] Preferably, the preparation method of the aromatic etherified siloxane type macromolecular amine curing agent is as follows: Using the mechanism of nucleophilic substitution reaction, the carboxyl functional groups of 1 molar equivalent of the dicarboxylic monomer and the amino functional groups of 2.01 - 2.09 molar equivalents of 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether are catalyzed by an organic base catalyst to undergo acylation reaction to generate an aromatic etherified siloxane type macromolecular amine curing agent.

[0010] Preferably, the organic base catalyst is one of pyridine, triethylamine, tributylamine, and imidazole.

[0013] Preferably, the composite auxiliary agent includes a wetting agent, a dispersing agent, an antifoaming agent and a thickening agent. Beneficial effects

[0014] Based on the click reaction mechanism of thiol-alkene and the acylation reaction mechanism of amino-carboxyl, the present invention designed and synthesized two kinds of macromolecular amine curing agents (aliphatic chain-siloxane type macromolecular amine curing agent and aromatic ether-siloxane type macromolecular amine curing agent); Using the aliphatic chain-siloxane type macromolecular amine curing agent or the aromatic ether-siloxane type macromolecular amine curing agent as the crosslinking and curing component of the waterborne epoxy resin emulsion, a waterborne epoxy floor topcoat was prepared.

It is a typical amphiphilic surfactant, with certain emulsifying properties, water dispersibility and low toxicity. On the other hand, their molecular structures also contain organosilicon structures. The Si-O bond in the organosilicon structure has a very strong polarity, which can significantly enhance the water resistance and corrosion resistance of epoxy resins. On the third hand, the benzene ring structure contained in their molecular structures can increase their compatibility with epoxy resins. Experimental example 1:
