Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of metal coating technology, specifically relating to a water-based ball milling passivation aluminum silver paste, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Water-based aluminum silver paste uses water as a hydrophilic solvent, is non-toxic, pollution-free, and has low VOCs (volatile organic compounds), meeting environmental protection requirements. In contrast, oil-based aluminum silver paste contains a large amount of organic solvents, resulting in higher VOC emissions, which are detrimental to the environment and human health. Currently, there are generally two methods for preparing water-based aluminum silver paste: Firstly, spherical aluminum powder, surface treatment agents, and hydrophilic solvents are mixed, wet ball milled, and then coated with silicon-containing compounds or passivated with corrosion inhibitors to form a protective layer on the surface of the flake aluminum particles, thereby preventing aluminum metal ions from reacting with the medium. The coating reaction process requires high-precision equipment and precise control and strict operation, so the complexity of the production process leads to generally high production costs.

[0003] Secondly, such as Figure 1 As shown, by adding a passivating agent to perform water-based passivation treatment on oily aluminum silver paste, a passivation film is coated on the surface of aluminum powder, which can prevent aluminum powder from reacting with the external environment to a certain extent. However, it is impossible to completely remove the solvents and additives used in the oily ball milling process, which affects the effectiveness of passivation and easily leads to problems such as large amount of gas release and batch instability during application and storage.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides an aqueous ball milling passivation aluminum silver paste, its preparation method, and its application. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an aqueous ball milling passivation aluminum silver paste, its preparation method, and its application in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] The present invention achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions: A method for preparing an aqueous ball-milled passivated aluminum silver paste includes the following steps: S1: Aluminum powder, surface modifier, hydrophilic solvent, and inorganic passivator are ball-milled in a ball mill with ball milling media to the target particle size of aluminum powder to obtain a pre-passivated aluminum silver paste; During ball milling, the surface of spherical aluminum powder is continuously subjected to mechanical forces. Due to aluminum's excellent ductility, the spherical aluminum powder continuously expands into flakes during milling, resulting in a continuous increase in newly formed surface areas. Inorganic passivating agents and surface modifiers are easily adsorbed onto these highly active surfaces. Specifically, the added inorganic passivating agent initially passivates the newly formed surface of the aluminum powder, forming a dense film layer composed of aluminum oxide, metal hydrates, and metal salts. The functional groups in the added surface modifier react with trace amounts of hydroxyl groups adsorbed on the aluminum powder surface, coupling them to the aluminum flake surface to form a molecular layer, thereby effectively improving the surface morphology of the aluminum powder and providing a better foundation for subsequent passivation. Moreover, the above reaction can continue throughout the entire ball milling process.

[0007] S2: Filter the pre-passivated aluminum silver paste, stir and mix it, then add an organic passivating agent, continue stirring to carry out the passivation reaction, then add an additive and continue stirring to obtain aluminum silver paste; wherein, the organic passivating agent is a combination of small molecule organic passivating agent and large molecule organic passivating agent, the molecular weight of the small molecule organic passivating agent is 210-280, and the molecular weight of the large molecule organic passivating agent is 5000-10000; The corrosion-inhibiting groups in the added organic passivating agent molecules will chelate with the metal ions on the surface of the flake aluminum powder. In addition, the inorganic passivating agent remaining in the silver paste and the precipitation reaction of the metal ions on the surface of the aluminum powder are still ongoing. The synergistic effect of chelation and precipitation forms a denser passivation protective film on the surface of the flake aluminum particles, which can effectively isolate the aluminum particles in the film from external substances and greatly inhibit the occurrence of corrosion. The added organic passivating agents are divided into small molecule organic passivating agents and large molecule organic passivating agents. The advantage of small molecule organic passivating agents is that they can work with the passivation protective film formed on the aluminum sheet surface to have a more obvious effect on inhibiting corrosion. The advantage of large molecule organic passivating agents is that the passivation protective film is thicker and has a stronger protective ability on the aluminum sheet surface. The synergistic effect of small and large molecule organic passivating agents increases the thickness of the protective film on the aluminum sheet surface and also enhances the corrosion inhibition effect. Some groups in small-molecule organic passivating agents can combine with hydroxyl groups on the aluminum sheet surface to form an organic passivation film protective layer. However, because the protective layer built by small-molecule organic passivating agents on the aluminum sheet surface is relatively thin, the aluminum sheet surface cannot be completely passivated. Adding macromolecular organic passivating agents allows the macromolecules in the passivating agent to react with the unpassivated parts of the aluminum sheet surface to generate a passivation film that simultaneously covers the passivation film formed by the small-molecule organic passivating agents. Because the organic passivating agent macromolecules bonded to the aluminum sheet surface are negatively charged, like charges repel each other, resulting in a disordered arrangement. As the passivation layer thickness on the aluminum sheet surface increases, it gradually attracts positive and negative charges within the system to combine, causing the molecules of the protective layer on the aluminum sheet surface to gradually arrange themselves in an orderly manner, thereby making the passivation film formed on the aluminum sheet surface more dense. The added additives can neutralize some of the functional groups in the organic passivating agent molecules, while modifying the surface of the aluminum silver paste. They also prevent the agglomeration of flake aluminum particles through steric hindrance stabilization, increase the leveling properties of the silver paste, and enhance the gloss of the aluminum flake surface, thereby effectively solving problems such as the gloss, storage stability, and dispersibility in water of the silver paste.

[0008] S3: After the aluminum silver paste is encapsulated, it is placed in a room temperature environment for 2-3 days to obtain water-based passivated aluminum silver paste.

[0009] As a further optimization of the present invention, the aluminum powder is spherical aluminum powder; the amount of the hydrophilic solvent is 1.5-5.5 times that of the spherical aluminum powder; the ball milling uses 6-8mm steel balls, and the ball-to-material ratio is (25-48):1; the mass ratio of the spherical aluminum powder to the surface modifier is 100:1-3; and the mass ratio of the spherical aluminum powder to the inorganic passivating agent is 100:1-3.

[0010] As a further optimization of the present invention, in step S1, the hydrophilic solvent is at least one of ethylene glycol ethyl ether, ethylene glycol ethyl ether acetate, ethylene glycol butyl ether, diethylene glycol butyl ether, propylene glycol methyl ether, and dipropylene glycol dimethyl ether. The surface modifier is at least one of silane coupling agents and titanate coupling agents.

[0011] As a further optimization of the present invention, in step S1, the inorganic passivating agent is at least one of orthophosphoric acid and sodium metavanadate.

[0012] As a further optimization of the present invention, in step S1, the initial ball milling speed is 30-50 r / min; when the particle size of the aluminum silver paste reaches a difference of 2-3 μm from the target particle size of the aluminum powder, the ball milling speed is reduced to 15-25 r / min until the target particle size is reached.

[0013] As a further optimization of the present invention, in step S2, the amount of the organic passivating agent is 3-10% of the solid content of the aluminum silver paste; the amount of the additive is 5-10% of the mass of the aluminum silver paste.

[0014] As a further optimization of the present invention, in step S2, the small molecule organic passivating agent and the macromolecule organic passivating agent are composed in a mass ratio of 1-6:1; Among them, the small molecule organic passivating agent is composed of octyl salicylate and sodium dodecyl sulfonate, and the mass ratio of octyl salicylate to sodium dodecyl sulfonate is 1:3-1:20; The macromolecular organic passivating agent is composed of polydimethylsiloxane and sodium dodecyl sulfonate, with polydimethylsiloxane as the main component and the mass ratio of polydimethylsiloxane to sodium dodecyl sulfonate being 5:1-50:1. As a further optimization of the present invention, in step S2, the auxiliary agent is at least one of palmitic acid, stearic acid, and aspartic acid.

[0015] The present invention also provides an aqueous ball milling passivation aluminum silver paste, which is prepared by the preparation method described above.

[0016] The present invention also provides the application of the above-described water-based ball-milled passivated aluminum silver paste in the preparation of water-based coatings.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1) This invention employs in-situ passivation technology to passivate aluminum sheets during the stretching process. The passivation process is less affected by solvents and additives. Through the synergistic effect of inorganic and organic passivating agents, a denser protective film is formed through oxide film layer, chelation and precipitation reactions, which greatly inhibits the corrosion of aluminum powder. Furthermore, the solvents and additives used are highly hydrophilic, which ensures that the prepared water-based passivated aluminum silver paste maintains good compatibility with the water-based resin system and exhibits good gloss. 2) During the ball milling process, new surfaces are continuously generated, and passivating agents and modifiers can be adsorbed and reacted in a timely manner to form a dynamic protective film construction process, ensuring that the surface of aluminum powder is always in a protected state. 3) This invention increases the thickness of the protective film and enhances the corrosion inhibition effect through the synergistic application of large and small molecule organic passivating agents. At the same time, it makes the protective film more compact through charge action. Attached Figure Description

[0044] 1. Hydrogen evolution test (1) Test method: Test coating samples (Example 1-6 groups) and control coating samples (Comparative Example 1-10 groups and commercially available aluminum silver paste, i.e. standard samples) were prepared according to 10% of the water-based passivated aluminum silver paste of the Example group / Comparative Example group + 16% water + 74% water-based resin (the water-based resin was from the same batch). The pH was 8.5-8.6. The two groups of ink samples were placed in the same hydrogen evolution device and stored at room temperature (22℃±2℃) and in a 50℃ constant temperature water bath. The observation period was 7 days. The amount of hydrogen produced by the two groups of ink samples was observed (the unit of gas release is ml). The results are shown in Table 1: Table 1. Hydrogen Evolution Test Data Recording Sheet ; Experimental conclusions: As shown in Table 1, the inorganic passivating agent obtained by compounding phosphoric acid and sodium metavanadate can significantly improve the storage stability of the final product by performing in-situ passivation during the ball milling of spherical aluminum powder. Through the synergistic effect of inorganic and organic passivating agents, a denser protective film is formed through oxide film layer, chelation and precipitation reactions, which greatly inhibits the corrosion of aluminum powder and further improves the storage stability of the final product. The preparation process of using small molecule organic passivating agents and large molecule organic passivating agents in combination, as well as the order of adding large molecule organic passivating agents first and then small molecule organic passivating agents, also has obvious advantages.

[0047] 3. Gloss performance test The water-based passivated aluminum silver paste from Example 3 of this invention and commercially available aluminum silver paste (standard sample) were respectively scraped to obtain scraped samples. The scraped samples were then tested using a BYK six-angle colorimeter (the light source illuminates the tested surface at a fixed 45° angle, and the instrument is equipped with a receiving optical path in each of the six directions of -15°, 15°, 25°, 45°, 75°, and 110°, forming a "45°-six-angle" geometric structure).

During the reverse impact test, the coating film of the standard sample of commercially available aluminum silver paste completely peeled off, while some of the coating film of the water-based passivated aluminum silver paste of Example 3 remained intact. Overall, the water-based passivated aluminum silver paste of Example 3 of this invention has better impact resistance and less coating film damage.

[0050] 5. Adhesion performance test of wine bottle paint system Primer: 1g aluminum silver paste (water-based passivation aluminum silver paste of Example 3 of this invention, commercially available aluminum silver paste), 1g ethylene glycol monobutyl ether diluted, 8g water-based acrylic resin emulsion, mixed evenly and diluted, then sprayed, flash-dry at 80°C for 5 minutes after spraying, then heat to 170°C and bake for 30 minutes. Topcoat: Mix one part water-based acrylic resin emulsion with 5 wt% red pigment and 20 wt% water, bake at 80℃ for 5 minutes, then increase the temperature to 170℃ and bake for 30 minutes.

[0051] After the primer and topcoat are applied, the interlayer adhesion between the primer and topcoat is tested using the cross-cut test (under the same experimental conditions).

[0052] Test results are as follows Figure 4 As shown, commercially available aluminum silver paste (standard sample) exhibits poor interlayer adhesion when used in a wine bottle paint system, resulting in complete peeling of the red topcoat. In contrast, the water-based passivated aluminum silver paste of Example 3 of this invention demonstrates good interlayer adhesion in the wine bottle paint system, with no peeling of the red topcoat.

[0053] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.
