Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of coatings, and particularly relates to a waterborne wear-resistant clear topcoat. Background Art
[0002] With the enhancement of environmental awareness and the continuous improvement of the performance requirements for coatings, the demand for waterborne coatings in the market is increasing day by day. Traditional clear topcoats have deficiencies in wear resistance. Especially for waterborne clear topcoats, problems such as scratches and abrasions are likely to occur during use, affecting their decorative effects and service lives. In the fields of furniture, floors, doors and windows, etc., higher requirements are placed on the wear resistance of clear topcoats. Existing waterborne clear topcoats are difficult to meet the needs of these application scenarios. At the same time, some waterborne clear topcoats also have defects in drying speed, gloss and water resistance, restricting their wider applications. For example, some waterborne clear topcoats have a slow drying speed, resulting in low construction efficiency; the gloss is not high enough to achieve an ideal decorative effect; the water resistance is poor, and problems such as blistering and peeling are likely to occur in a humid environment. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a waterborne wear-resistant clear topcoat with excellent wear resistance while taking into account drying speed, gloss and water resistance. Summary of the Invention

[0039] In this comparative example, the raw materials of the waterborne wear-resistant clear topcoat include, by weight: 50 parts of waterborne acrylic resin, 16 parts of waterborne polyurethane dispersion, 4 parts of film-forming aid, 1 part of defoamer, 0.5 part of leveling agent, 1 part of thickener, 0.5 part of preservative, and 20 parts of water.
[0040] Based on the method for preparing the waterborne wear-resistant clear topcoat, nano-silica is removed in this comparative example, and other preparation steps remain unchanged to prepare the waterborne wear-resistant clear topcoat.
[0041] Comparative Example 2
[0042] In this comparative example, the raw materials of the waterborne wear-resistant clear topcoat include, by weight: 50 parts of waterborne acrylic resin, 6 parts of nano-silica, 4 parts of film-forming aid, 1 part of defoamer, 0.5 part of leveling agent, 1 part of thickener, 0.5 part of preservative, and 20 parts of water.
[0043] Based on the method for preparing the waterborne wear-resistant clear topcoat, the waterborne polyurethane dispersion was removed in this comparative example, and other preparation steps remained unchanged to obtain the waterborne wear-resistant clear topcoat.
[0044] The waterborne wear-resistant clear topcoats prepared in the above Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were respectively subjected to performance tests according to the following test methods:
[0045] 1. Abrasion weight loss
[0046] According to GB / T 1768-2006 "Paints and varnishes - Determination of resistance to abrasion - Rotating rubber wheel method", the wear resistance of the above three clear topcoat samples was tested, and the weight loss of the paint film after a certain number of abrasions was recorded.
[0047] 2. Drying time
[0048] The drying time was determined according to GB / T 1728-1979 "Method for determination of drying time of paint films and putty films".
[0049] 3. Glossiness
[0050] The glossiness was determined according to GB / T 9754-2007 "Paints and varnishes - Determination of specular gloss at 20°, 60° and 85° of non-metallic paint films";
[0051] 4. Water resistance time
[0052] According to GB / T 1733-1993 "Method for determination of water resistance of paint films", the water resistance test was carried out, and the changes of the paint film after soaking in water for a certain time were recorded. The test results are shown in Table 1:
[0053] Table 1: Data table of performance test of waterborne wear-resistant clear topcoat
[0054]
[0055] Result analysis
[0056] Examples 1 - 5 As can be seen from the above table, the wear loss of Example 2 is 30 mg / 1000r, which is the smallest, indicating that its wear resistance is the best. This is due to the relatively high content of nano-silica and aqueous polyurethane dispersion. The wear loss of Example 1 is 5030 mg / 1000r, which is relatively large, and its wear resistance is slightly inferior. The drying time of Example 2 is the shortest at 1.5h, and the construction efficiency is the highest. The dosage of propylene glycol phenyl ether plays a good role in promoting drying in this example. The gloss of Example 2 is the highest at 90 GU, and the decorative effect is the best. The ratio of aqueous acrylic resin and aqueous polyurethane dispersion significantly improves the gloss in this example. Example 2 has the longest water resistance time of 72h, and its water resistance is the best. The high solid content of the aqueous polyurethane dispersion and the synergistic effect of various components endow the paint film with good water resistance performance.
[0057] In summary: Considering all performance indicators, Example 2 shows the best performance in terms of wear resistance, drying speed, gloss, and water resistance, and is most suitable to meet the actual application requirements; the performance of Example 3 is relatively balanced, and it can be selected according to specific usage scenarios; Example 1 is slightly lacking in some performances, but it can also be used in occasions where the requirements for wear and water resistance are not particularly high. Moreover, by adding nano-silica, the wear resistance of the clear topcoat is significantly improved, making it less prone to scratches and wear during daily use. The nano-silica is evenly dispersed in the coating system, forming a hard nano-reinforced network structure, effectively resisting external friction. Through the reasonable combination of aqueous acrylic resin and aqueous polyurethane dispersion, not only the film-forming performance of the clear topcoat is ensured, but also its gloss and water resistance are improved. The aqueous acrylic resin provides good gloss and hardness, and the aqueous polyurethane dispersion enhances the water resistance and flexibility of the paint film, making the clear topcoat have good construction performance and a long storage period. It has good environmental performance, meets environmental requirements, and is suitable for surface coating in multiple fields such as furniture, floors, and doors and windows, with broad market prospects.
[0058] In addition, as can be seen from Comparative Examples 1 - 2 and the above table, nano-silica and aqueous polyurethane dispersion were not added during the production of the waterborne wear-resistant clear topcoat in Comparative Examples 1 and 2, resulting in worse performance in terms of wear loss, drying time, gloss, and water resistance time of the prepared waterborne wear-resistant clear topcoat compared to that of the waterborne wear-resistant clear topcoat prepared in Examples 1 - 5.
