Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of coatings, and more specifically to an industrial anti-corrosion coating and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Industrial facilities, marine engineering projects, and transportation vehicles are exposed to harsh environments such as humidity and high salt spray for extended periods. Corrosion of the metal substrates seriously threatens structural safety and causes significant economic losses. Organic coating protection is currently one of the most effective and economical anti-corrosion methods. Among them, epoxy resin (EP) is widely used in heavy-duty industrial anti-corrosion applications due to its excellent adhesion, chemical resistance, and electrical insulation. However, traditional epoxy resin coatings inevitably develop micropores during the curing process due to solvent evaporation and cross-linking shrinkage; furthermore, the high cross-linking density of the cured resin results in high brittleness, making it prone to microcracks under alternating hot and cold temperatures or external impacts. Water molecules, oxygen, and chloride ions... Corrosive media can easily penetrate to the metal / coating interface through the diffusion channels formed by these pores and cracks, leading to coating blistering, peeling, and ultimately, underfilm corrosion. To overcome these defects, existing technologies often employ the addition of inorganic nanofillers (such as nano-silica, graphene oxide, etc.) to enhance the coating's impermeability. For example, a modified silica-coated graphene oxide (SiO2@GO) nanohybrid is disclosed in the prior art. Nano-SiO2 is loaded onto the graphene oxide surface using a silane coupling agent (such as APTES). This utilizes SiO2 particles to inhibit the stacking and agglomeration of GO sheets, and also utilizes the two-dimensional sheet structure of GO to form a "maze effect" in the coating, extending the diffusion path of corrosive media. Although this modified filler improves the hydrophobicity and physical barrier ability of the coating to some extent, it still has the following significant technical bottlenecks: lack of "active" repair function: existing composite fillers such as SiO2@GO mainly rely on physical shielding, which is a "passive defense". Once the coating surface is scratched due to mechanical friction or impact, or the physical barrier is penetrated due to prolonged immersion, corrosive media will quickly contact the metal substrate, triggering accelerated corrosion. Existing solid nanoparticles cannot load and release corrosion inhibitors and lack the ability to automatically repair the passivation film when the coating is damaged. They also cannot effectively remove penetrating chloride ions: Chloride ions in marine atmospheres or industrial environments have extremely strong penetrating power and are a core cause of pitting corrosion in metals. Existing physical barrier fillers can only delay corrosion. The arrival time is such that it cannot be chemically adsorbed or solidified. As service life extends, Accumulation under the coating leads to increased osmotic pressure, accelerating coating failure. Insufficient interfacial bonding and longevity: the interfacial compatibility between some inorganic nanofillers and the organic resin matrix still needs improvement, easily forming new defects at the interface. Furthermore, conventional hydrophobic modification is mostly physical adsorption or simple surface grafting; under long-term scouring and immersion environments, hydrophobic groups are prone to detachment or failure, making it difficult to maintain long-term superhydrophobic protective effects. Therefore, developing a novel industrial anti-corrosion coating with good interfacial bonding to the epoxy resin matrix and its preparation method is a key technical problem urgently needing to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides an industrial anti-corrosion coating and its preparation method.
[0004] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] An industrial anti-corrosion coating, the coating comprising a film-forming resin, a curing agent, a solvent, and a modified core-shell structured nanofiller with self-healing and ion-trapping functions; the modified core-shell structured nanofiller has a three-layer structure: the core is mesoporous silica loaded with an organic corrosion inhibitor; the middle shell is an in-situ grown amino-functionalized metal-organic framework material; and the outer layer is a low surface energy layer formed by modification with a hydrophobic modifier.
[0006] Furthermore, the amino-functionalized metal-organic framework material is an amino-zirconium-based metal-organic framework material UiO-66-NH2; the UiO-66-NH2 is formed by the coordination self-assembly of zirconium salt and 2-aminoterephthalic acid onto the surface of the core.
[0007] Furthermore, the mesoporous silica has an average particle size of 80-200 nm and a pore size of 2-10 nm; the organic corrosion inhibitor is selected from at least one of benzotriazole, 8-hydroxyquinoline, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole or imidazoline derivatives.
[0008] Furthermore, the hydrophobic modifier is a fluorinated silane or a long-chain alkyl silane; the fluorinated silane is selected from at least one of perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane, heptadecafluorodecyltrimethoxysilane, or perfluorododecyltriethoxysilane; the long-chain alkyl silane is selected from at least one of dodecyltrimethoxysilane or hexadecyltrimethoxysilane.
[0009] Furthermore, the amount of the modified core-shell structured nanofiller added to the coating is 0.5% to 3.0% of the mass of the film-forming resin.
[0010] Furthermore, the film-forming resin is a bisphenol A type epoxy resin; the curing agent is an amine curing agent.
[0011] Furthermore, the modified core-shell structured nanofiller undergoes a chemical cross-linking reaction with the film-forming resin through the amino groups on the surface of the intermediate shell layer.
[0012] The present invention also provides a method for preparing an industrial anti-corrosion coating, comprising the following steps: (1) dispersing mesoporous silica in an organic corrosion inhibitor solution, stirring under vacuum conditions, loading the organic corrosion inhibitor into the mesoporous channels using negative pressure, separating and drying to obtain mesoporous silica loaded with corrosion inhibitor; (2) dispersing the product obtained in step (1) in a precursor solution containing metal salt and organic ligand, performing an in-situ growth reaction under solvothermal conditions, and coating the surface with an amino-functionalized metal-organic framework material shell; (3) dispersing the product obtained in step (2) in a solvent, adding a hydrophobic modifier to perform a grafting reaction, and drying to obtain a modified core-shell structured nanofiller; (4) dispersing the modified core-shell structured nanofiller in a solvent, mixing it with a film-forming resin, adding a curing agent, and stirring evenly to obtain the industrial anti-corrosion coating.
[0013] Further, the metal salt in step (2) is zirconium tetrachloride, and the organic ligand is 2-aminoterephthalic acid; the reaction temperature under the solvothermal conditions is 100~140℃, and the reaction time is 12~36 hours. The mass ratio of the hydrophobic modifier in step (3) to the product obtained in step (2) is (0.5~1.5):1; the grafting reaction is carried out under the condition of pH 4~5, and the reaction temperature is 50~80℃.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0015] This invention significantly improves the overall mechanical properties of the coating, solving the problems of brittleness and poor adhesion in traditional anti-corrosion coatings. The modified core-shell structured nanofiller (F-UiO-66-NH2@MSN-BTA) prepared in this invention is introduced into the epoxy resin matrix as a reinforcing phase, producing a significant strengthening and toughening effect. Test results show that, compared with the pure epoxy resin coating (Comparative Example 1), the coating with the filler of this invention (Example 1) exhibits an increased pencil hardness from 2H to 5H, increased adhesion from 2.54 MPa to 6.45 MPa, increased impact strength from 11.2 KJ / m² to 26.8 KJ / m², increased tensile strength from 56.2 MPa to 92.4 MPa, and significantly enhanced wear resistance (wear mass loss reduced by approximately 56%). This is attributed to the filler acting as a "physical pinning" and "crack deflector" in the resin matrix, effectively absorbing external impact energy and hindering the propagation of microcracks. The interfacial bonding strength is significantly improved, and the mechanical strengthening effect is superior to existing modified filler technologies. The UiO-66-NH2 shell selected in this invention is rich in active amino groups, which can directly participate in the ring-opening curing reaction of epoxy resin, forming a strong "molecular-level" covalent chemical bond between the inorganic filler and the organic matrix. This overcomes the shortcomings of conventional MOF materials in terms of interfacial compatibility. Compared with conventional zinc-based MOFs, the aminated zirconium-based MOF (UiO-66-NH2) used in this invention shows significant advantages in improving the mechanical properties of the coating. This invention encapsulates the corrosion inhibitor in a mesoporous silica core and then seals it with the MOF shell. This strategy not only achieves long-term storage and controlled release of the corrosion inhibitor but also avoids the plasticizing effect or mechanical property degradation that may be caused by directly adding small-molecule corrosion inhibitors to the resin. This ensures that the coating possesses excellent structural strength while maintaining self-healing capabilities. Detailed Implementation

[0072] Step S2: Intermediate Shell Growth (ZIF-8@MSN-BTA): 0.5 g MSN-BTA was dispersed in 40 mL of methanol solution containing 1.17 g Zn(NO3)26H2O; 2.6 g 2-methylimidazole was dissolved in 40 mL of methanol, and the two solutions were mixed to obtain a precursor solution. 0.5 g MSN-BTA was added to this solution and ultrasonically dispersed for 30 min. The mixture was transferred to a hydrothermal reactor lined with polytetrafluoroethylene and reacted at 120 °C for 24 h. After the reaction, the product was centrifuged, washed three times each with DMF and methanol, and activated under vacuum at 80 °C for 12 h to obtain the core-shell structured ZIF-8@MSN-BTA.
[0073] Step S3: Superhydrophobic modification of the outer layer (F-ZIF-8@MSN-BTA): Disperse 0.5g of the above core-shell powder in 50mL of anhydrous ethanol, add 0.6g of PFDTES dropwise, add 2mL of water, and adjust the pH to 4.5 with acetic acid to promote hydrolysis. Recirculate and stir the mixture in a 60℃ water bath for 6h. After the reaction is complete, centrifuge, wash twice with ethanol, dry at 60℃, and grind to obtain the final composite filler.
[0074] Test case
[0075] Adhesion testing was conducted according to ASTM D4541, with a loading rate of 1 MPa / s. Impact performance testing was conducted according to ASTM D2794. Tensile performance testing was conducted according to ASTM D638, with a test speed of 10 mm / min and a test temperature of 23 ± 2°C. Abrasion resistance testing used the Taber test method. The weight change of the specimen before and after 200 friction cycles under a certain pressure condition was measured (initial weight m1 minus weight after wear m2) to obtain the wear mass loss. All mechanical property tests were performed using a set of three specimens, and the test results were averaged. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0078] The pencil of Example 1 has a hardness of 5H and a wear amount of 385mg, which is better than that of Comparative Example 2 (4H and 620mg).
[0079] While SiO2@GO can enhance hardness, interlayer slippage may occur in the two-dimensional layers under high wear. In this invention, the UiO-66-NH2 shell forms a chemical cross-link with the epoxy resin matrix (amino groups participate in curing), and the mesoporous silica core provides rigid support, resulting in a significant "pinning effect" that greatly improves the coating's scratch resistance and wear resistance. Example 1 showed improved adhesion to 6.45 MPa and tensile strength as high as 92.4 MPa, significantly better than Comparative Example 2 (4.03 MPa and 78.6 MPa). Although the GO material was modified, it mainly relied on van der Waals forces and physical interlocking. In contrast, the UiO-66-NH2 surface used in this invention is rich in active amino groups (-NH2), which can directly react with the epoxy groups in the epoxy resin to form strong covalent bonds. This "molecular-level" interfacial bonding eliminates micro-defects at the organic / inorganic interface, thereby significantly improving adhesion and tensile strength. The mechanical properties of the ZIF-8 coating (adhesion 5.20 MPa, tensile strength 79.4 MPa) are better than pure epoxy, but not as good as those of Example 1. The ZIF-8 surface lacks highly active amino functional groups like UiO-66-NH2, and its bonding with the resin matrix mainly relies on physical interactions, resulting in weak interfacial strength and limited improvement in mechanical properties. Comparative Example 4 (without BTA): The mechanical properties are almost identical to those of Example 1 (e.g., tensile strength 92.8 MPa vs 92.4 MPa), indicating that the core-loaded BTA has minimal impact on the mechanical strength of the coating and does not affect the structural integrity of the coating. Comparative Example 3 (without shell): Due to the lack of MOF shell encapsulation, the interfacial bonding between the nanofiller and the resin decreases (no amino crosslinking), resulting in significantly lower adhesion and tensile strength (4.80 MPa, 72.5 MPa) compared to Example 1.
