Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of epoxy resin floor coating technology, specifically to an antistatic epoxy resin floor coating and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Epoxy resin coatings possess excellent adhesion, weather resistance, and mechanical strength, making them widely used in floor coatings, metal corrosion protection, and electronic applications. However, special locations such as flammable and explosive environments, semiconductor and microelectronics factories, and textile mills require anti-static flooring to ensure environmental safety and equipment stability. Epoxy resin floor coatings, however, have poor anti-static properties, limiting their application areas.

[0003] Adding antistatic agents to epoxy resin floor coatings can effectively improve their antistatic properties. Common antistatic agents include conductive carbon black and graphene. However, conductive carbon black requires a large amount, which significantly affects the coating's performance, while graphene is expensive and difficult to commercialize. Quaternary ammonium salt cationic antistatic agents have diverse preparation methods, excellent compatibility with polymer materials, and important applications in coatings, films, pipes, and rubber. Summary of the Invention

[0007] (2) Add water, water-based epoxy curing agent, and thiol-terminated cationic rosin polymer to the container, stir and mix well to obtain curing agent component; then add curing agent component to epoxy emulsion component, stir and mix well to obtain antistatic epoxy resin floor coating.

[0008] Preferably, the mass ratio of reactive diluent, epoxy resin, filler, dispersant, defoamer, leveling agent, water, waterborne epoxy curing agent, and thiol-terminated cationic rosin polymer is (12-20):100:(65-80):(1.2-2):(0.6-1):(0.5-0.8):(10-18):(32-46):(8-20).

[0009] Preferably, the active diluent is butyl glycidyl ether, ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, or neopentyl glycol diglycidyl ether.

[0010] Preferably, the filler includes any one or a combination of silica powder, quartz powder, calcium carbonate, barium sulfate, and talc.

[0011] Preferred method for preparing thiol-terminated cationic rosin polymer:

[0012] (1) Add toluene solvent, rosin acid, 2-chloroethanol and p-toluenesulfonic acid in a molar ratio of 1:(1.4-2):(0.2-0.3) to the reaction vessel, heat to 80-100℃, react for 10-18h, then distill under reduced pressure, and recrystallize the product in dichloromethane to obtain chloroacetic acid rosin.

[0013] (2) Add N,N-dimethylacetamide solvent, N-methyldiallylamine, ethylene glycol dimercaptoacetate, and triethylamine to the reaction vessel and stir at 15-25℃ for 2-3 h. Then add chloroacetic acid rosin, wherein the molar ratio of N-methyldiallylamine, ethylene glycol dimercaptoacetate, triethylamine, and chloroacetic acid rosin is 1:(1.1-1.2):(0.012-0.016):(0.4-1.2). Purge with nitrogen gas, heat to 80-110℃, stir and react for 24-48 h. Pour the solution into ethanol, stir and filter. Wash the precipitate with ethanol and dry to obtain the terminal mercapto cationic rosin polymer.

[0014] (III) Beneficial technical effects: The present invention involves the polymerization of N-methyldiallylamine and ethylene glycol dimercaptoacetate into mercapto-olefins, followed by a quaternization reaction with chloroacetic acid rosin to obtain a mercapto-terminated cationic rosin polymer, which is then blended with epoxy resin, waterborne epoxy curing agent Evonik WH-1000, etc., to obtain an antistatic epoxy resin floor coating.

[0015] The thiol-terminated cationic rosin polymer of the present invention contains thiol groups, which can react with the epoxy groups of epoxy resin, thereby bonding the cationic rosin polymer into the epoxy resin curing system. The rosin contains rigid and stable fused ring bonds and is highly hydrophobic. When introduced into the epoxy resin molecular chain, it can improve the pencil hardness, abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance and water resistance of the floor coating.

[0016] The cationic rosin polymer of the present invention contains quaternary ammonium salt antistatic groups, which are introduced into the epoxy resin molecular chain to form a conductive layer on the surface of the coating film, accelerate charge dissipation, reduce surface resistance, and play a good antistatic role.

[0051] Compared with Comparative Examples 1-3, the epoxy resin floor coatings of Examples 1-4 contain terminal thiol cationic rosin polymers. These thiol groups can react with the epoxy groups of epoxy resin, thereby bonding the cationic rosin polymers into the epoxy resin curing system.
