Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of coating technology, in particular to a high-conductivity and high-adhesion primer composition for PP and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Under the industry trend of automobile lightweight, the proportion of plastics in automobile parts is increasing due to its light weight, wide design space, ability to absorb and mitigate external impact, protection of vehicle body and passengers, corrosion resistance and other advantages. Polypropylene (PP) has been widely used in automobile interior and exterior parts, such as bumpers, instrument panels, door inner panels, pillar guard plates and other core automobile parts, due to its excellent comprehensive mechanical properties, high heat resistance, excellent fatigue resistance, excellent electrical insulation, good chemical resistance and almost all molding methods.

[0003] The polypropylene resin molecule has a non-polar linear structure, low surface activity, and no polarity, making it difficult for the coating film to adhere. Therefore, the key performance of polypropylene plastic coating is the adhesion of the coating, which is also a major concern in the coating industry. Automobile plastic parts are generally coated in three layers, namely primer, topcoat and clear coat. The primer ensures adhesion to the plastic part and fills the uneven surface of the plastic part. The topcoat mainly imparts color and decoration, and the outermost layer is clear coat to ensure good durability. In terms of construction method, for large parts such as bumpers, automatic electrostatic spraying has high production capacity and relatively good coating quality, with obvious advantages in material consumption and labor cost. At the same time, due to the large volume, the oven occupies a large area and consumes a lot of energy, so automatic electrostatic spraying process is generally used. Therefore, the PP primer must be designed as a conductive primer to enable electrostatic spraying of the topcoat. SUMMARY

After extrusion, underwater strand-pulling and granulation are performed.
