Description

[0002] Coating finishing is a surface finishing technology that coats a layer of high molecular compound on the surface of various fabrics to form a film, so that the front and back of the fabric can have different functions. Coating glue is a high molecular compound for coating finishing. At present, the coating glue mainly uses polyacrylate, solvent-based polyurethane and water-dispersible polyurethane. Water-based polyurethane uses water as a dispersion medium, can meet the environmental protection requirements of no volatile organic compound emission, and has the advantages of safety, non-toxicity and no pollution. However, compared with solvent-based polyurethane, water-based polyurethane generally has the disadvantages of poor water resistance, poor solvent resistance, low initial adhesion and discontinuous film formation.

[0052] Performance test:

[0053] I. Mechanical property: the waterborne polyurethane coating was made into an elongated strip of 10 mm x 70 mm, then the thickness of each sample at the center position was measured by taking three test points with a screw micrometer, and then the average value was taken. After the sample was balanced for 24 h under constant temperature and humidity conditions (T = 20℃, RH = 70%), the breaking load value was measured on a universal material testing machine, the tensile speed was 250 mm / min, and the tensile strength of the waterborne polyurethane coating was calculated according to the following formula: tensile strength (MPa) = breaking load value (N) / thickness of the film (mm) x width of the film (mm);

[0056] Example Five:

[0062] The above test results are shown in Table 2 below;

[0063]

[0064] Note: the difference between the comparative example and the self-crosslinking type organosilicon modified waterborne polyurethane emulsion II is that trimethylolpropane is used to replace the stearated organosilicon type self-crosslinking monomer, and the amount of substance of trimethylolpropane is controlled to be the same as that of the stearated organosilicon type self-crosslinking monomer;

[0065] From the experimental results in Table 2, it can be seen that:

[0066] The self-crosslinking type silicone modified waterborne polyurethane emulsion II is used for coating finishing of pure cotton cloth, and the prepared fabric has achieved significant technical effects in water resistance and softness.
