Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of resin, in particular to an environment-friendly alkyd resin and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Alkyd resin is an important modified polyester resin prepared by polycondensation of polyol, polyacid and fatty acid. It has been widely used in the fields of paint, ink, adhesive and so on for a long time due to its excellent adhesion, high film fullness, good weather resistance and relatively low cost, and it is one of the main film-forming substances in solvent-based paint.

[0003] However, traditional alkyd resin usually relies on petrochemical raw materials such as phthalic anhydride, benzoic acid and various petroleum-based fatty acids. There are obvious environmental and health problems in its preparation and use process. In order to obtain suitable construction viscosity, a large amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as aromatic hydrocarbons, esters, ketones and other organic solvents are contained in traditional alkyd resin paint. Under this background, water-based alkyd resin emerges as the times require, which uses water as the main dispersion medium, can significantly reduce the use of organic solvents, reduce about 400 kg of organic solvents per ton of paint, greatly reduce the VOC content, and has the outstanding advantages of production and construction safety, easy cleaning of equipment, etc.

[0004] Although water-based alkyd resin has significant environmental advantages, there are still many problems in its practical application and performance: first, the drying speed is slow and the initial hardness is too low: the latent heat of evaporation of water is much higher than that of organic solvents, which leads to a significant extension of the paint film surface drying and real drying time, affecting the construction efficiency; second, poor water resistance and storage stability, which is the most core defect of water-based alkyd resin, the ester bond in the resin main chain is easy to hydrolyze in weak alkaline or aqueous environment, leading to the breakage of resin molecular chain.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new alkyd resin and its preparation method, which can fundamentally or significantly reduce the emission of VOCs, while overcoming the shortcomings of existing water-based alkyd resin in film performance (such as water resistance, drying speed, hardness), storage stability or preparation process complexity, and providing an alkyd resin solution that combines excellent environmental characteristics and practical performance.
