Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of polyurethane resin preparation, and particularly relates to an acrylic acid-modified polyurethane resin emulsion for boiling-resistant water-based plastic ink and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, traditional packaging plastic printing is mostly carried out using solvent-based inks. Plastic printing inks are mainly solvent-based inks, with highly volatile solvents such as toluene as the dispersion medium, and they account for almost more than 60% of the plastic ink weight. However, highly volatile solvents contain aromatic hydrocarbons, which are toxic and flammable. Excessive levels of organic solvents such as benzene are extremely harmful to the human body, and occupational health, safety and environmental protection issues are particularly prominent.

[0003] As the food packaging industry's demands for environmental protection, safety, and functionality continue to rise, stricter requirements are being placed on the environmental friendliness and safety of printed materials. In recent years, with the global emphasis on green production, water-based inks, which use water as a dispersion medium and have VOC content as low as below 5%, are more environmentally friendly during production and use. These inks comply with international standards such as EU REACH and FDA food contact materials, helping companies address evolving global environmental regulations and reduce environmental risks in the production process. Water-based plastic packaging inks are designed for printing on plastic substrates or films such as PE, BOPP, PVC, PET, and PP. They are generally composed of a binder, colorant, additives, and a dispersion medium.

[0004] Retort resistance is an essential core performance indicator for water-based plastic inks in the food packaging industry. From a food safety perspective, high-temperature retort is a necessary process for canned foods, meat, and other foods. Inadequate retort resistance can lead to ink shedding, migration, or chemical dissolution at high temperatures, posing a direct threat to consumer health. Inadequate retort resistance can damage the interfacial bonding between the ink and the plastic substrate, causing delamination of the ink layer, loss of pigment particles, and even the risk of chemical migration. For example, residual monomers, plasticizers, or heavy metals in the ink can penetrate into the contents through food simulants (such as water or acetic acid solution), directly threatening consumer health.

[0005] From a technical perspective, the boiling resistance of water-based inks depends on the crosslinking density and chemical stability of the resin system. For example, when using unmodified acrylic resin, water molecules easily penetrate the ink film at high temperatures, causing the resin to swell and the chain segments to move more rapidly, which in turn causes the colorant to separate from the binder. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the retort resistance deficiencies of existing water-based plastic inks, the present invention provides a retort-resistant acrylic-modified polyurethane resin emulsion for use in gravure water-based plastic inks and its preparation method. Applied to gravure water-based plastic inks, this emulsion exhibits excellent adhesion and retort resistance to plastic films (such as PE, BOPP, PVC, and PET), while also exhibiting excellent printability. This water-based plastic ink can be used in a variety of decorative packaging and printing applications on various plastic films, addressing the issues of poor adhesion and retort resistance of plastic inks to plastic substrates.

[0007] One of the technical solutions of the present invention is to provide an acrylic modified polyurethane resin emulsion for boiling-resistant water-based plastic ink, which is prepared from the following materials: 120.0-200.0 parts by weight of an acrylate oligomer polyol acetone solution, 50.0-100.0 parts by weight of a dimer acid-type polyester polyol, 60.0-90.0 parts by weight of a polyether polyol, 50.0-70.0 parts by weight of a diisocyanate, 5.0-15.0 parts by weight of a carboxyl-type hydrophilic chain extender, 0.3-0.6 parts by weight of an esterification reaction catalyst, 80.0-120.0 parts by weight of acetone, 10.0-15.0 parts by weight of a low-molecular-weight polyol chain extender, 5.0-15.0 parts by weight of triethylamine, 0.8-1.6 parts by weight of ethylenediamine, 500.0-600.0 parts by weight of deionized water, and 1.8-3.6 parts by weight of dihydrazide.

[0008] Furthermore, the acrylate oligomer polyol acetone solution is prepared from 18.0-25.0 parts by weight of tert-dodecyl mercaptan-S, 20.0-80.0 parts by weight of methyl methacrylate, 40.0-60.0 parts by weight of ethyl acrylate, 60.0-90.0 parts by weight of butyl acrylate, 50.0-110.0 parts by weight of vinyl neononanoate, 150.0-270.0 parts by weight of isobornyl acrylate, 15.0-25.0 parts by weight of hydroxyethyl acrylate, 20.0-35.0 parts by weight of diacetone acrylamide, 12.0-15.0 parts by weight of azobisisobutyronitrile, and 300.0-400.0 parts by weight of acetone solvent.

[0009] It is worth noting that the composition and preparation process of the acrylate oligomer polyol have a decisive influence on the comprehensive performance of the acrylate-modified polyurethane resin emulsion of the present invention. By introducing special acrylate monomers such as tertiary carbonate monomers such as vinyl neononanoate and isobornyl acrylate, the wetting and adhesion ability of the emulsion to the plastic substrate is significantly improved; at the same time, the high glass transition temperature hard monomer system formed by methyl methacrylate and the above two monomers synergistically enhances the rigidity and toughness of the emulsion, thereby improving the boiling resistance of the water-based plastic ink. In addition, acetone is selected as the preparation solvent for the acrylate oligomer polyol, which is consistent with the solvent used in the synthesis of the polyurethane resin emulsion, effectively avoiding the process compatibility problems caused by solvent differences and significantly improving the convenience of the synthesis process.

[0010] The formula of the present invention introduces a novel dimer acid-type polyester polyol. The unique long-chain hydrocarbon structure characteristics in the molecular structure of the dimer acid-type polyester polyol enable it to have excellent adhesion and anti-stick properties to plastic substrates. At the same time, it can give the ink coating excellent temperature resistance, mechanical strength and hydrolysis resistance, thereby improving the cooking resistance of the prepared water-based plastic.

[0011] Furthermore, the polyether polyol is one or a mixture of polypropylene glycol ether diol and polytetramethylene glycol ether diol; the number average molecular weight Mn of the polyether polyol is 1000-4000.

[0012] Furthermore, the diisocyanate is a mixture of one or more of hexamethylene diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, and dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate.

[0013] Furthermore, the carboxyl type hydrophilic chain extender is one of dimethylol propionic acid and dimethylol butyric acid or a mixture of the two.

[0014] Furthermore, the esterification reaction catalyst is one of bismuth isooctanoate and bismuth neodecanoate, or a mixture of the two.

[0015] Furthermore, the low molecular weight polyol chain extender is one of 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol and 1,4-butanediol, or a mixture of the two.

[0016] Furthermore, the dihydrazide is one of adipic acid dihydrazide and malonic acid dihydrazide, or a mixture of the two; the ratio of the molar number of the hydrazide group in the dihydrazide to the molar number of the ketocarbonyl group of diacetone acrylamide in the acrylate oligomer polyol acetone solution is 0.4-2.0:1.0.

[0017] Further, the preparation of the acrylate oligomer polyol acetone solution has the following steps: Dissolve the formulated amount of tert-dodecyl mercaptan-S in acetone, stir and mix evenly to prepare a chain transfer agent solution.

[0018] The monomer raw materials such as methyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, vinyl neononanoate, isobornyl acrylate, hydroxyethyl acrylate and diacetone acrylamide in the formulated amount are dissolved in the solvent acetone, stirred and mixed evenly to prepare a raw material monomer mixed solution.

[0019] Dissolve the formulated amount of initiator azobisisobutyronitrile in solvent acetone, stir and mix evenly to prepare an initiator solution.

[0020] (2) Add the formulated amount of chain transfer agent solution to a 1000ml reactor equipped with a heating device, a stirrer and a distillation column, stir and heat, replace the air with nitrogen and protect, and keep warm for 20 minutes when the temperature rises to 56.0-60.0℃.

[0021] (3) Add 10% of the formulated raw monomer mixture solution and keep warm for 20 minutes. Add 80% of the formulated initiator solution and keep warm for 15 minutes. Start adding the remaining raw monomer mixture solution dropwise, maintaining a certain dropwise addition rate so that the remaining raw monomer mixture solution is added dropwise within 3.0 hours.

[0022] (4) After the addition is completed, add the remaining amount of initiator solution and maintain the temperature for 2.0 hours.

[0023] (5) After the heat preservation reaction is completed, samples are taken to test the solid content and viscosity. Depending on the test results, an appropriate amount of solvent acetone is added to adjust the solid content and viscosity. When the solid content is 55.0-65.0%, the hydroxyl content is 0.20%-0.50%, and the viscosity is 40.0-400.0 mPa·s / 25℃, the temperature is lowered and the material is discharged to obtain a light yellow transparent acrylate oligomer polyol acetone solution.

[0024] Among them, the above synthesis process steps are all carried out in a nitrogen protection atmosphere.

[0025] The second technical solution of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing the above-mentioned acrylic acid-modified polyurethane resin emulsion, which comprises the following steps: (1) Esterification reaction: Add the formulated amount of polyester polyol and polyether polyol to a 1000ml reactor equipped with a heating device, a stirrer and a distillation column, heat it to 100.0-105.0℃, keep it warm, reduce the pressure to -0.06~-0.08Mpa, remove water and dry for 1 hour; cool it to 50.0-55.0℃, add the formulated amount of acrylate oligomer polyol acetone solution, polyisocyanate, esterification reaction catalyst and solvent acetone, heat it to 58.0-62.0℃, keep it warm and react for 3.0-4.0 hours.

[0026] (2) Chain extension reaction: After the esterification reaction is completed, the temperature is lowered to 48.0-50.0°C, and a carboxyl-type hydrophilic chain extender, a low molecular weight chain extender, a neutralizer and a solvent acetone are added. The temperature is raised to 58.0-62.0°C and the reaction is kept warm for 4.0-5.0 hours.

[0027] (3) Emulsification and post-chain extension reaction: After the chain extension reaction is completed, cool to 35.0-38.0℃, adjust the agitator to 800-1000rpm, add deionized water for emulsification reaction, and add polyamine chain extender for chain extension reaction at the same time, and maintain high-speed stirring for 10.0-15.0 minutes.

[0028] (4) Desolventization: After the emulsification reaction is completed, the temperature is raised to 68.0-72.0℃, the pressure is reduced to -0.06~-0.08Mpa, and the solvent is removed for 2.5-4.0 hours. The solvent is collected and recovered; a sample is taken to test the residual solvent content. When the residual solvent content reaches the index requirement, the negative pressure is released and nitrogen is passed to normal pressure.

[0029] (5) Dispersing the crosslinking agent: After the solvent is removed, the temperature is lowered to 40.0-45.0°C, and an aqueous solution of dihydrazide is added and mixed and stirred for 20.0-30.0 minutes.

[0030] (6) Adjusting the solid content and viscosity of the emulsion: Take samples to test the solid content and viscosity. Depending on the test results, add appropriate amount of deionized water to adjust the solid content and viscosity. When the solid content is 33.0-37.0%, the pH value is 7.5-9.0, the rotational viscosity is 100.0-500 mPa·s / 25℃, and the emulsion particle size is 50.0-400.0nm, discharge and package to obtain a light yellow translucent or opaque acrylate modified polyurethane resin emulsion.

[0031] The present invention introduces diacetone acrylamide containing ketocarbonyl groups into an acetone solution of an acrylate oligomer polyol, and subsequently adds dihydrazide. The ketocarbonyl groups of the diacetone acrylamide can then undergo a ketohydrazide crosslinking and curing reaction with the hydrazide groups of the dihydrazide to produce a one-component, self-crosslinking water-based plastic ink. Because the ketohydrazide crosslinking reaction occurs during polymer film formation, after the system is dehydrated and under neutral or acidic conditions, the anionic polyurethane emulsion and the water-based ink prepared therefrom are generally in a weakly alkaline state. Therefore, the stability of the resin emulsion and ink system during storage can be ensured. During the drying and baking process of the water-based ink, the volatilization of the neutralizing agent during film formation of the resin polymer promotes crosslinking and curing of the ketohydrazide groups, resulting in a dense, crosslinked network coating formed on the ink coating. This significantly improves the water resistance and boiling resistance of the coating, achieving excellent overall performance.

[0032] The present invention is beneficial in that: The acrylate-modified polyurethane resin emulsion prepared by the preparation method provided herein comprises acrylic acid chemically modified and grafted onto polyurethane molecules. This emulsion exhibits both small particle size and strong stability. The emulsion can be mixed with pigment or dye pastes, various auxiliary agents, and the dispersion media of water and industrial alcohol. After stirring and grinding, the resulting water-based plastic gravure printing ink exhibits good solubility and excellent anti-stick properties. It also exhibits excellent adhesion to plastic film substrates (such as PE, BOPP, PVC, and PET), with adhesion reaching zero on transparent adhesive tape. It also exhibits excellent retort resistance, with a 60-minute retort test in 100°C boiling water demonstrating a complete ink coating with no blooming, whitening, or blistering. Furthermore, the water-based plastic ink exhibits excellent printability and is suitable for packaging, printing, and decorative applications on various plastic films (such as PE, BOPP, PVC, and PET).
