Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of marine anticorrosive coating, in particular to a kind of marine long-acting anticorrosive nano liquid coating and its preparation and application. BACKGROUND
[0002] Marine structures and ships are in a harsh environment of dry-wet alternation, salt spray and ultraviolet radiation all the year round, and the corrosion of their metals is much more serious than that of land steels. Corrosion not only leads to the decline or rupture of mechanical properties of steels, but also causes marine accidents. At present, the most common method is to isolate the ship surface from corrosive medium by using anticorrosive coating to play a protective role.
[0003] Traditional antifouling coatings contain toxic fillers to inhibit the attachment of marine fouling organisms, but the toxic fillers have great harm to the environment, so it is necessary to develop new practical antifouling coatings to replace toxic antifouling coatings. Studies have shown that graphene has certain antibacterial properties, and the structure of graphene can provide physical corrosion protection, so adding graphene or functionalized graphene to the coating can achieve a coating with both antifouling and corrosion protection functions.
[0004] In the technical field of marine anticorrosive coating, traditional coatings have many technical bottlenecks and cannot meet the comprehensive needs of modern ships for long-acting anticorrosion, convenient construction and environmental performance. Traditional epoxy coatings require heat curing above 80℃, which is difficult to achieve uniform heating on site for large ship components, resulting in incomplete curing; direct addition of graphene can easily cause π-π stacking, and the coating layer can form a conductive path (resistivity <10 6 Ω·cm), which accelerates the electrochemical corrosion of the metal substrate; the existing self-drying coatings (such as alkyd resins) have a salt spray resistance <1000h (ISO 7253), which cannot meet the requirements of IMO “Performance Standard for Protective Coatings for Cargo Oil Tanks” PSPC.
[0005] In addition, marine anticorrosive coatings also face three major technical contradictions: first, the contradiction between the long-acting anticorrosion demand of graphene and its easy promotion of galvanic corrosion, how to achieve uniform dispersion of graphene in the coating and avoid the formation of conductive paths is the key to exert its anticorrosion effect; second, the contradiction between the convenience of self-drying coating construction and the super-long anticorrosion performance, the existing self-drying coatings often sacrifice the anticorrosion durability in pursuit of construction speed, and it is difficult to balance both; third, the contradiction between the low VOC environmental protection requirement and the high cross-linking density curing demand, reducing the VOC content often leads to insufficient cross-linking degree of the coating, affecting the physical and mechanical properties and anticorrosion effect of the coating. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a marine anticorrosive coating with long-acting anticorrosion, rapid self-drying, low VOC environmental protection characteristics, and to solve the above technical contradictions.

[0030] An application of a nano-liquid coating for long-term corrosion protection of ships as described in any of the above claims, wherein the nano-liquid coating is applied for long-term corrosion protection of ships.
[0031] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0032] The nano-liquid coating for long-lasting corrosion protection of ships prepared in this invention comprises component A and component B. Component A includes a graphene-epoxy hybrid liquid, an inorganic nano-dispersion liquid, and a co-solvent, while component B includes a polyetheramine curing agent and a latent catalyst. In this invention, the combination of epoxy resin substrate, curing agent, and catalyst allows the polyetheramine to react with epoxy groups to form a preliminary cross-linked network with a gel rate >80%. Upon contact with seawater, copper ions in the latent catalyst catalyze secondary cross-linking, forming coordination bonds with hydroxyapatite to further increase the cross-linking density. This approach balances rapid setting and long-term stability, achieving room-temperature step-curing. At 25°C, the surface drying time is only 2 hours, eliminating the need for high-temperature baking and solving the problem of difficult on-site heating of large ship components. The graphene-epoxy hybrid liquid prepared in this invention, through the bridging effect of a silane coupling agent, covalently grafts carboxylated graphene onto the epoxy resin chain, fundamentally avoiding graphene aggregation and the resulting galvanic corrosion risk, thus fully utilizing its excellent shielding performance. Meanwhile, the compounded co-solvent system used in this invention ensures that the VOC content of the coating is below 250g / L, which complies with strict environmental regulations. The formula has good thixotropic properties and can be coated up to 150μm in one go without sagging, reducing the number of applications and improving efficiency. It is suitable for coating requirements of complex parts of ships such as waterline areas, decks, and cabins.
[0033] The inorganic nano-dispersion in component A of this invention includes modified nanosheet hydroxyapatite and corrosion inhibitor-supported nano-cerium dioxide, forming a multi-layered anti-corrosion mechanism with the graphene-epoxy hybrid solution. The modified nanosheet hydroxyapatite is polydopamine-modified nanosheet hydroxyapatite that chelates zinc ions. The covalently grafted graphene in the nanosheet hydroxyapatite and graphene-epoxy hybrid solution forms an ultra-long penetration path for corrosive media in the coating. Furthermore, the polydopamine-modified nanosheet hydroxyapatite exhibits strong adsorption of corrosive chloride ions, consuming corrosion factors at the source. After coating damage, some zinc ions react with OH- generated on the cathode. - A Zn(OH)₂ passivation film is formed, while a portion of it undergoes coordination crosslinking with the catechol groups in polydopamine at the damaged interface. Both mechanisms jointly promote the re-adhesion and bonding of the damaged interface. The corrosion inhibitor-loaded nano-cerium dioxide consists of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole-loaded cerium dioxide nanotubes. When corrosion occurs, the local pH increases, triggering the precise release of the 2-mercaptobenzothiazole corrosion inhibitor from the cerium dioxide nanotubes, forming a passivation film on the metal surface and preventing corrosion propagation. The nano-cerium dioxide itself also possesses redox catalytic capabilities, consuming some corrosive active oxygen species and improving the coating's aging resistance. This invention provides a multi-layered anti-corrosion mechanism that significantly improves the utilization efficiency and protective durability of the corrosion inhibitor. The resulting coating exhibits high crosslinking density and good compactness, with a neutral salt spray test time exceeding 8000 hours. Detailed Implementation

The remaining components and preparation methods were completely consistent with Example 5.
[0068] Performance testing
[0069] The nano-liquid coatings for long-lasting anti-corrosion of ships obtained in Examples 5-8 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were applied to Q235 steel plates sandblasted to Sa 2.5 grade, with a dry film thickness controlled at 150±10μm. Curing was performed at 25℃ and 50%RH, with a surface drying time of 2 hours. The VOC content was below 250 g / L, meeting environmental protection requirements. Performance testing was then conducted on the formed anti-corrosion coating.
[0070] Adhesion Testing: Coating adhesion testing plays a crucial role in evaluating the anti-corrosion performance of coatings. It is essential for ensuring the anti-corrosion performance, durability, and quality control of coatings, directly affecting their protective effect and service life. Higher bonding strength between the coating and the substrate is more beneficial for improving the coating's anti-corrosion performance. To determine the coating adhesion, a Positest ATA-20 pull-out fully automatic adhesion tester was used. First, the sample surface and test spindle were pre-ground to improve adhesion. Then, a special adhesive was used to firmly bond the coating sample to the test spindle. After the adhesive had completely cured, the adhesion was measured according to the standard testing procedure. To ensure data reliability, three parallel samples were set up for each experiment, and each sample was tested three times. Finally, the average of all test results was taken as the adhesion value of the coating; the test results are shown in Table 1.
[0071] Electrochemical testing: The electrochemical impedance of the coating samples at different immersion times was measured using an electrochemical workstation. The workstation used in this experiment was a Shanghai Chenhua CH1660. A 3.5wt% NaCl solution was selected as the medium, and the medium was changed periodically. The testing frequency range was 10... -2 -10 5 The Hz disturbance voltage amplitude was 20mV. The low-frequency impedance modulus |Z| was recorded after 30 days of immersion, reaching 0.01Hz. The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0072] Neutral salt spray test: A Q-Fog cyclic salt spray corrosion test chamber was used, and a 5wt% NaCl solution was prepared periodically. Following the standard GB / T 31588.1-2015 "Determination of Resistance to Cyclic Corrosion Environments of Paints and Varnishes", a scratch was made through the coating, penetrating the substrate. The scratch width was not less than 0.2 mm, and the distance from the edges was more than 20 mm. The edges of the metal substrate were sealed with a mixture of rosin and paraffin to prevent corrosive media from corroding the coating from the edges of the metal substrate, which could cause experimental errors. After the salt spray test began, the surface condition of the coating was observed periodically. The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0073] Self-healing rate: The scratch repair electrochemical test was used. A scratch with a width of 0.2 mm was prepared on the coating surface and immersed in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution for 72 h. The ratio of charge transfer resistance (Rct) before and after repair was calculated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), that is, self-healing rate = (Rct after repair / Rct before repair) × 100%; the test results are shown in Table 1.
[0074] Table 1: Statistical Table of Anti-corrosion Coating Performance Test Data for Examples 5-8 and Comparative Examples 1-5
[0075]
[0076] As shown in Table 1, the nano-liquid coating for long-lasting corrosion protection of ships prepared by this invention, when applied to the surface of steel plates, results in a coating with strong adhesion, excellent protective performance, outstanding salt spray resistance, and highly efficient self-healing ability. In Comparative Example 1, the nano-cerium dioxide added was not loaded with a corrosion inhibitor, leading to a significant decrease in the self-healing rate and salt spray performance of the resulting coating. In Comparative Example 2, the nano-flaky hydroxyapatite added was not modified, resulting in a shortened salt spray resistance time for the resulting coating. In Comparative Example 3, the epoxy hybrid liquid lacked graphene grafting, resulting in a significant decrease in all aspects of the performance of the resulting coating. In Comparative Example 4, the nanomaterials were only physically blended, resulting in a coating with performance lower than that of the examples. In Comparative Example 5, no multiple anti-corrosion mechanisms were formed, resulting in the worst performance of the resulting coating.
