Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of paint technology, and in particular to a UV-cured water-based paint and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the increasingly stringent environmental regulations and the improvement of consumer health awareness, water-based paint has become an important substitute for traditional solvent-based paint due to its low VOC (volatile organic compound) characteristics. Among them, UV-cured water-based paint combines the environmental advantages of water-based system and the high efficiency (second-level curing, low energy consumption) of UV curing technology, and is widely used in wood, plastic, metal, packaging printing and other fields. However, in the application scenarios with high humidity and high contact frequency (such as medical equipment, furniture surface, food packaging, etc.), microorganisms such as bacteria and mold are easy to breed on the surface of the coating, which not only affects the appearance, but also may cause health and safety problems. Therefore, the development of UV-cured water-based paint with long-acting antibacterial function has become an important research direction in the industry.
[0003] Traditional water-based paint improves the antibacterial performance of the paint by adding organic antibacterial agents, inorganic antibacterial agents or natural antibacterial agents, but all have some shortcomings, such as: quaternary ammonium salt organic antibacterial agent, although it has a wide antibacterial spectrum, but it is easy to migrate and precipitate, resulting in short antibacterial life; inorganic antibacterial agent (nano-silver, zinc ion), although it has good heat resistance, but it is easy to agglomerate and affect the dispersibility, high addition amount may hinder the UV curing reaction and reduce the mechanical properties of the coating; natural antibacterial agent (chitosan), although it has high safety, but it has poor weather resistance and is easy to be degraded by UV. Therefore, in order to break through the above limitations, researchers improve the comprehensive performance of antibacterial agents through chemical structure modification, so that they have long-acting antibacterial and non-migration characteristics in UV-cured water-based paint.
