Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of polymer coating technology, and in particular to a method for preparing a high weather-resistant and high-definition lightbox advertising coating. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of the advertising industry, lightbox advertising, as an important form of advertising display, is widely used in various outdoor and indoor locations. For lightbox advertising materials, high weather resistance and high-definition display effects are crucial performance requirements. In outdoor environments, lightbox advertising materials need to withstand long-term ultraviolet radiation, high and low temperature changes, rain erosion, and other harsh conditions. If weather resistance is insufficient, the material is prone to fading, aging, and cracking, seriously affecting the display effect and lifespan of the advertisement. Coatings can extend the lifespan of lightboxes, but the weather resistance of the coating mainly depends on the ability of the resin matrix and stabilizer system to resist environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation, humidity, and temperature changes. Often, some substances need to be added to improve its weather resistance. Clarity requires the coating to have high transparency, low haze, and excellent light transmittance; the fewer additives, especially fillers, the better.
[0003] CN112111211B discloses an environmentally friendly coating, published on October 22, 2021. This patent relates to an environmentally friendly coating composed of polyester resin, epoxy resin, titanium dioxide, barium sulfate, formaldehyde-removing activated carbon, and other raw materials, exhibiting good antibacterial effects and long-lasting formaldehyde removal capabilities. However, this technical solution primarily optimizes environmental performance and antibacterial function, without fully considering the coating's weather resistance in outdoor environments, especially its resistance to extreme conditions such as ultraviolet radiation and extreme temperature changes. Furthermore, the coating formulation lacks optimized design for the coating's optical properties, potentially resulting in an inability to achieve high-definition display effects in lightbox advertising applications. CN111876043B discloses a water-based coating, published on October 8, 2021. This patent relates to a water-based coating composed of acrylic emulsion, graphene oxide, lotus leaf hydrophobic agent, and other raw materials, exhibiting excellent stain resistance, water resistance, and corrosion resistance. While this technology demonstrates excellent stain and water resistance, its insufficient focus on UV protection and long-term outdoor weather resistance may lead to aging and fading issues when the coating is exposed to outdoor environments for extended periods. Furthermore, the coating formulation does not explicitly address optimization of light transmittance and clarity, potentially failing to meet the high-definition display requirements of lightbox advertising.
[0004] The above problems indicate that existing coating technologies still have certain shortcomings in comprehensively optimizing high weather resistance and high-definition display performance. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To overcome the above deficiencies, this invention provides a method for preparing a high-weather-resistant and high-definition lightbox advertising coating. By optimizing the coating formulation and preparation process, the coating's weather resistance in outdoor environments is improved, while ensuring its excellent optical performance, thereby meeting the demand of lightbox advertising for efficient and high-quality display materials.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A method for preparing a high weather-resistant, high-definition lightbox advertising coating includes the following steps:
[0008] (a) Preparation of outer coating:
[0009] (a1) Weigh the following components:
[0010] 65-70 parts by weight of polyurethane acrylate resin;
[0011] 5-8 parts by weight of mercaptosiloxane compound;
[0012] 8-12 parts by weight of multifunctional thiol crosslinking agent;
[0013] 3-5 parts by weight of polymerizable liquid crystal monomer;
[0014] (a2) Add to the solvent system:
[0015] 75-85 parts by weight of propylene glycol methyl ether acetate;
[0016] 25-30 parts by weight of propylene glycol phenyl ether;
[0017] (a3) First mixing treatment;
[0018] (a4) Add 0.5-1.0 parts by weight of ultraviolet absorber and 0.15 parts by weight of photoinitiator;
[0019] (a5) Filtration and purification to obtain the finished outer coating;
[0020] (b) Preparation of inner coating:
[0021] (b1) Weigh the following components:
[0022] 70-75 parts by weight of organosilicon acrylate resin;
[0023] 10-15 parts by weight of bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) disulfide;
[0024] 1.0 parts by weight of multifunctional acrylate crosslinking agent;
[0025] (b2) Add to the solvent system:
[0026] 70-80 parts by weight of propylene glycol methyl ether acetate;
[0027] 25-35 parts by weight of propylene glycol tert-butyl ether;
[0028] (b3) Add 0.1-0.3 parts by weight of a metal complex catalyst;
[0029] (b4) Second mixing process to obtain the inner coating finished product.
[0030] The high weather-resistant, high-definition lightbox advertising coating designed in this scheme is based on the layered dynamic response driven by the thermal field of the lightbox:
[0031] The outer layer refers to the environmental contact layer. When the light box is working, the temperature is 50-60℃. The tetrasulfide bond (-S4-) in the outer coating component pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptopropionic acid) undergoes homolytic cleavage to generate sulfur free radicals (·SR). Through free radical chain transfer (·S-R+R-S3→R-S4-R), the surface microcracks caused by ultraviolet rays are repaired in real time. At the same time, it can polymerize liquid crystal monomers to self-assemble into 25nm ordered micro-regions. Its Bragg diffraction cancels scattering loss and maintains a transmittance of >90%.
[0032] The inner layer refers to the layer that is in direct contact with the light box. As a thermal stress-bearing layer, in the high-temperature zone of 70-80℃ near the light source, the disulfide bond (-SS-) in the bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) disulfide undergoes a disproportionation reaction, and the ion pairs migrate to the deep crack sites to recombine and form bonds, consuming heat expansion energy. Meanwhile, the organosilicon acrylate resin blocks heat transfer with its high bond energy of Si-O bonds. The three work together to construct a gradient protection system of "outer layer dynamic self-healing - deep crack repair - body thermal insulation", which solves the essential contradiction between light transmittance and weather resistance.
[0033] Preferably, in (a1), the multifunctional thiol crosslinking agent is pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptopropionic acid) ester; and the polymerizable liquid crystal monomer is 4,4-biphenyl di(6-acryloyloxyhexyl) ether.
[0034] Preferably, in (a4), the photoinitiator is 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl-diphenylphosphine oxide.
[0035] Preferably, in (a3), the first mixing treatment is to stir at 400-600 rpm for 35-50 min at 40±2℃.
[0036] Preferably, in (b1), the organosilicon acrylate resin is a diacryloyloxy polysiloxane; and the multifunctional acrylate crosslinking agent is trimethylolpropane triacrylate ethoxylate.
[0037] Preferably, in (b3), the metal complex catalyst is an organobismuth complex.
[0038] Preferably, in (b4), the second mixing treatment is ultrasonic dispersion at 35-50 kHz for 30-40 min.
[0039] This solution proposes a high weather-resistant and high-definition lightbox advertising coating, which includes the preparation of an outer coating and an inner coating using the aforementioned method for preparing the high weather-resistant and high-definition lightbox advertising coating.
[0040] This solution also proposes an application method for the aforementioned high weather resistance and high definition lightbox advertising coating, including the following steps:
[0041] (c1) The surface of the lightbox substrate is coated with an inner layer of paint;
[0042] (c2) Curing treatment;
[0043] (c3) Apply an outer coating;
[0044] (c4) Final curing heat treatment.
[0045] Preferably, (c2) the curing treatment is heating at 80±2℃ for 10-20 min; (c4) the final curing heat treatment is irradiation with a light source wavelength of 50-400nm and a light intensity of 50-60mW / cm for 2-5 min, followed by heating at 55-65℃ for 10-20 min.
[0046] Preferably, after curing (c2), the thickness of the inner dry film is 35±1μm; after final curing (c4), the thickness of the outer dry film is 20±1μm.
[0047] Simultaneously, hexyl biphenyl glycol ester self-assembles into 25 nm smectic microregions during programmed cooling, and its periodic structure enhances visible light transmission through Bragg diffraction; the organosilicon component migrates to form a hydrophobic barrier to block aging factors, ultimately achieving a dynamic balance between damage self-healing and optical transparency.
[0048] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this invention are:
[0049] This invention utilizes the gradient temperature distribution characteristics of the heat generated during the operation of the lightbox through component design. The outer layer activates tetrasulfide free radicals to repair surface micro-damage and dynamically maintains optical stability in the liquid crystal micro-area. The inner layer triggers disulfide ion migration to dissipate heat dissipation stress. This triple response precisely matches the thermal field distribution of the lightbox, improving the weather resistance of the coating in outdoor environments while ensuring its excellent optical performance, thereby meeting the demand of lightbox advertising for efficient and high-quality display materials.

[0204] The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0205] Table 1. Performance test results of examples, comparative examples, and commercially available coatings.
[0206] The above data shows that, under correct coating conditions, the embodiment repairs UV microcracks in real time through the free radical chain transfer of tetrasulfide bonds at 50-60℃, suppresses light scattering through the orderly assembly of liquid crystal micro-regions, and consumes heat dissipation stress through the migration of disproportionated ions of disulfide at 70-80℃. Combined with the hydrophobic siloxane barrier and the integrity of the photocuring network, a synergistic protection system is formed. Specifically, the embodiment utilizes the thermal gradient of the lightbox operation. The outer layer of the lightbox at 50-60℃ provides conditions for dynamic repair of damage through tetrasulfide bonds; the bottom layer at 70-80℃ allows for the consumption of heat dissipation stress through the migration of disproportionated ions of disulfide, while Si-O bonds block heat conduction. Therefore, the inner layer is coated first to ensure that high-temperature curing does not damage the dynamic bonds of the outer layer, and the solvent is formulated with high-boiling-point propylene glycol phenyl ether to ensure the orderly assembly of liquid crystals. This breaks the vicious cycle in traditional lightbox coatings where improved weather resistance leads to decreased light transmittance, and improved transmittance leads to decreased weather resistance.
[0207] Compared to Example 1, Comparative Example 1 showed that the absence of tetrasulfide bonds led to irreversible accumulation of surface cracks, and ultraviolet penetration caused photo-oxidative aging of the substrate; Comparative Example 2 showed that the absence of liquid crystal monomers resulted in a disordered phase in the coating, with a doubling of visible light scattering rate; Comparative Example 3 showed that the loss of the hydrophobic barrier of mercaptosiloxanes led to water vapor penetration and blistering and delamination at the interface; Comparative Example 4 showed that the lack of disulfide ion migration mechanism led to the propagation of thermal stress cracks; Comparative Example 5 showed that the lack of catalyst resulted in insufficient crosslinking rate of mercapto-acrylate, and the loose network accelerated environmental erosion; Comparative Example 6 showed that the absence of photoinitiator resulted in incomplete curing network, and powdering and peeling were the dominant failures; Comparative Examples 7 / 8 showed that excessive tetrasulfide bonds / liquid crystals initiated phase separation, and crosslinking imbalance and optical mismatch coexisted; Comparative Example 9 showed that excessive disulfide induced yellowing as a side reaction, and the precipitation of small molecules damaged the interface; Comparative Example 10 showed that excessive photoinitiator led to a sharp increase in curing shrinkage stress, and microcracks spontaneously nucleated.
[0208] In Application Example 2, the reverse coating sequence causes the dynamic repair layer (tetrasulfide bond) and optical control layer (liquid crystal) formed after the outer layer is cured to be physically covered by the inner layer, thus weakening the functional characteristics of Application Example 1.
