Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of high polymer materials, and particularly relates to a structural modification preparation technology of polyamide curing agent, and especially relates to a high-adhesion modified polyamide curing agent and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Polyamide curing agents are widely used in the fields of epoxy coatings and adhesives due to their good compatibility with epoxy resins, excellent flexibility and strong impact resistance of the cured paint film. However, the traditional polyamide curing agent lacks groups that can form strong chemical bonds with low surface energy metal substrates (such as aluminum alloy, galvanized steel, and stainless steel) in its molecular structure, resulting in a large contact angle with these substrates. The combination is achieved through physical adsorption, which has the defects of insufficient adhesion and easy peeling, limiting its application in high-end metal corrosion prevention fields (such as lightweight aluminum alloy parts for automobiles and galvanized steel components).

[0003] With the improvement of the performance requirements of downstream industries for coating, the modification direction of polyamide curing agents has gradually focused on "adhesion enhancement" and "environmental stability improvement". In the prior art, there have been attempts to improve adhesion by introducing functional groups: Chinese invention patent CN110240711A discloses a waterborne epoxy emulsifier containing phosphate structure, which improves the wettability and adhesion of waterborne epoxy emulsion on metal surface by introducing phosphate into the emulsifier molecule. However, this technology only targets waterborne epoxy emulsifiers and does not involve modification of polyamide curing agents themselves. Moreover, the phosphate is dispersed by physical mixing and is prone to migration and precipitation during curing, resulting in a decrease in long-term water resistance. Chinese invention patent CN120365876A discloses a high-toughness high-adhesion epoxy resin adhesive, which improves the bonding strength to difficult-to-bond metals by simultaneously adding a phosphate-based toughening agent, a modified polyamide curing agent, and a silane coupling agent to the adhesive system. However, this technology relies on the physical compounding of multiple components and does not covalently graft phosphate groups to the main chain of the polyamide curing agent, which poses the risk of poor compatibility and layering during storage. Moreover, the synergistic mechanism of silane coupling agent and phosphate is not clear, which makes it difficult to ensure the stability of adhesion.

[0004] In summary, the existing technologies have the following deficiencies: 1. Most of them target emulsifiers or adhesive systems and do not achieve stable grafting of functional groups from the molecular structure of polyamide curing agents; 2. Phosphates are mostly introduced by physical mixing, which is prone to migration and precipitation, affecting the hydrolysis resistance and storage stability; 3. The synergistic effect of phosphates and siloxanes is not fully utilized, and the adhesion to low surface energy metal substrates is limited.

[0005] Therefore, it is an urgent problem in the field to develop a polyamide curing agent that covalently introduces dual functional groups and has high adhesion and stability. SUMMARY

[0006] In order to solve the problems of poor adhesion to low surface energy metal substrates, insufficient hydrolysis resistance and poor storage stability of the conventional polyamide curing agent in the prior art, the application provides a high-adhesion modified polyamide curing agent, a preparation method and application thereof, a phosphate group is covalently grafted on a polyamide main chain through molecular structure design, and a siloxane chain extender is introduced, so that the adhesion is synergistically enhanced by "phosphate-siloxane", and the stability of the product is ensured. The application is realized through the following technical scheme: A high-adhesion modified polyamide curing agent is prepared from the following raw materials by weight: 50-150 parts of a bifunctional epoxy diluent 30-60 parts of an amino-terminated silane coupling agent 10-20 parts of a phosphate monomer 5-20 parts of a chlorinating agent 80-100 parts of a polyamide curing agent 4-6 parts of a basic catalyst The modified polyamide curing agent is amber transparent liquid, the viscosity is 2500-3500 mPa s, and the amine value is 170-175 mgKOH / g based on solid.

[0007] Further, the preparation method of the high-adhesion modified polyamide curing agent is as follows: (1) Preparation of an epoxy-terminated silane chain extender: the amino-terminated silane coupling agent and solvent A are weighed and put into a reaction device, and under stirring, the temperature is raised to 55-70 DEG C, the bifunctional epoxy diluent is added, and the reaction is kept for 2-3 h to prepare the epoxy-terminated silane chain extender; (2) Preparation of a phosphate acid chloride intermediate: the phosphate monomer and solvent B are weighed and put into a dry reaction device, and the temperature is lowered to 0 DEG C by ice bath, the chlorinating agent is added under nitrogen protection, the temperature is raised to room temperature 23-27 DEG C after the heat is removed, and the reaction is kept for 4-5 h, and the excess chlorinating agent and solvent B are removed by distillation under reduced pressure to prepare the phosphate acid chloride intermediate; (3) Reaction of polyamide grafted phosphate: the polyamide curing agent is dissolved in solvent C, the temperature is raised to 50-60 DEG C, the phosphate acid chloride intermediate prepared in step (2) is added dropwise under vigorous stirring, the reaction temperature is controlled at 50-60 DEG C, and the reaction is kept for 1-2 h to prepare the polyamide intermediate grafted with phosphate; (4) End-capping reaction: the epoxy-terminated silane chain extender prepared in step (1) is added to the polyamide intermediate prepared in step (3), the temperature is raised to 70-80 DEG C, the reaction is kept for 3 h, the temperature is lowered, and the product is discharged to prepare the high-adhesion modified polyamide curing agent; The raw materials are formulated in the proportions of the high-adhesion modified polyamide curing agent described above, and solvents A, B, and C are not included in the proportions by weight.

[0008] Further, in step (1), the molar ratio of the epoxy group provided by the bifunctional epoxy diluent to the amino group provided by the terminal amino silane coupling agent is 2:1; Solvent A is isopropanol.

[0009] Furthermore, the bifunctional epoxy diluent is selected from one or more of polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, 1,4-cyclohexanediethanol diglycidyl ether, and 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether. The terminal aminosilane coupling agent is selected from one or more of 3-aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane, 3-aminopropylmethyldiethoxysilane, 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane.

[0010] Further, in step (2), the molar ratio of the chlorinating agent to the hydroxyl group in the phosphate ester monomer is 1.2:1; The chlorinating agent is one or more of oxalyl chloride and phosphorus oxychloride; Solvent B is anhydrous tetrahydrofuran.

[0011] Furthermore, the phosphate monomer is selected from one or more of diethyl phosphate, diphenyl phosphate, bis(2-methacryloyloxyethyl) phosphate, and pentaerythritol phosphate.

[0012] Furthermore, the phosphate monomer is selected from one or both of bis(2-methacryloyloxyethyl) phosphate and pentaerythritol phosphate.

[0013] Furthermore, the polyamide curing agent is selected from one or more of 200 low molecular weight polyamide, 300 low molecular weight polyamide, and 400 low molecular weight polyamide; The solvent propylene glycol methyl ether is used. The alkaline catalyst is triethylamine.

[0014] Furthermore, the polyamide curing agent is a 400 low molecular weight polyamide.

[0015] Furthermore, in step (1), the reaction apparatus needs to be pre-dried, and nitrogen gas is introduced for protection during the reaction process; In step (2), the vacuum degree of the reduced pressure distillation is -0.09 to -0.1 MPa, and the distillation temperature is 40 to 50 °C.

[0016] Furthermore, the high-adhesion modified polyamide curing agent prepared according to the above technical solution is used in water-based or solvent-based epoxy coating systems, specifically in metal anti-corrosion coatings and adhesives; The substrate of the metal anti-corrosion coating includes low surface energy metal substrates such as galvanized steel sheet, aluminum alloy, and stainless steel.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. Step (1) uses isopropanol to ensure a reduction in system viscosity, making the bifunctional epoxy diluent easier to disperse when added, and ensuring the uniformity of the chain extender structure. Step (2) uses anhydrous tetrahydrofuran to ensure efficient acyl chloride reaction. Step (3) uses propylene glycol methyl ether to ensure polyamide dissolution and grafting reaction, avoiding solvent cross-interference. 2. By adopting a bifunctional modification strategy of covalent grafting of phosphate esters and chain extension and end-capping of siloxanes, the phosphate ester groups form PO-Me covalent bonds with metal oxides, and the siloxane groups are hydrolyzed to form Si-O bonds. The synergistic effect of the two chemical bonds significantly improves the adhesion, solving the problem of poor adhesion of low surface energy metal substrates at the molecular level and breaking through the limitations of traditional physical compounding. 3. By employing a nucleophilic substitution reaction to form PN covalent bonds, phosphate ester groups are stably grafted onto the polyamide backbone, avoiding precipitation problems caused by physical mixing. This also improves the product's hydrolysis resistance and solves the defects of easy migration and poor storage stability of phosphate esters in existing technologies. The product also has high adhesion, high toughness, and high environmental stability. It shows no significant corrosion in a 1000-hour salt spray test, which is superior to traditional polyamide curing agents. Furthermore, it has good compatibility with pigments, fillers, and additives, and is applicable to a wide range of substrates. Detailed Implementation
