Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of polymer materials technology, specifically to an aqueous polyurethane, an alkali-resistant protective adhesive, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Metallized materials are widely used in chemical product packaging, building material surface treatment, and many other fields due to their excellent barrier properties, decorative properties, and metallic luster. However, in actual use, the metallized layer often inevitably comes into contact with various alkaline substances, such as alkaline chemicals or alkaline substrates in building material environments. The metallized layer itself is chemically relatively reactive in alkaline media and is prone to corrosion, leading to a loss of its functionality and aesthetics. Therefore, a protective adhesive is usually applied to the surface of the metallized layer to isolate it from corrosive media and extend its service life. Currently, most metallized coating protective adhesives on the market are based on traditional polymer systems. Although these products may perform well under normal conditions, their protective effectiveness is significantly insufficient in long-term or continuous alkaline environments. Specifically, the coating is prone to blistering, cracking, and even peeling off from the substrate, failing to provide a durable and effective barrier for the metallized layer. This fundamental deficiency in alkali resistance severely limits the reliable application of metallized materials in harsh alkaline environments. Furthermore, many traditional formulations of protective adhesives with relatively good performance in existing technologies still involve a large amount of volatile organic solvents during preparation and use, which not only poses a potential threat to the health of production personnel, but also causes environmental pollution problems.
[0003] Therefore, developing an environmentally friendly, high-performance aluminized coating protective adhesive that can withstand alkaline corrosion for a long time is an important research direction in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0027] This invention further utilizes a water-based polyurethane-formulated protective adhesive, which balances excellent mechanical properties and alkali resistance, effectively solving the technical problems of bubbling and peeling that traditional protective adhesives easily encounter in alkaline environments. Testing showed that aluminized plates coated with this invention remained intact and showed no abnormal changes after immersing in a 5% sodium hydroxide solution for 12 hours, demonstrating excellent long-term resistance to alkali corrosion.

[0033] Comparative Example 1 The only difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the polyol is a polyether polyol (PPG, number average molecular weight 1500), and all other aspects are the same as in Example 2; waterborne polyurethane C was prepared.
[0034] Comparative Example 2 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that trimethylolpropane (TMP) is not added. The specific preparation steps are as follows:
[0035] 100g of polycarbonate diol (PCDL, number average molecular weight 1000) was added to a four-necked flask. With stirring, the system temperature was raised to 100℃, and a vacuum pump was turned on. Dehydration was carried out under a vacuum of -0.1 MPa for 2 hours. After dehydration, the system was cooled to 80℃. Under dry nitrogen protection, 30g of isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), 0.05g of organotin catalyst (Fomrez UL-28), and 5g of [other chemicals] were slowly added to the flask. 2,2-Dimethylolpropionic acid (DMPA) was reacted at 80℃ for 3 hours to obtain a polyurethane prepolymer with terminal -NCO, and the NCO content was measured to be 1.2%. 40g of N-methylpyrrolidone was added for dilution.

The mixture was stirred and emulsified at 40℃ and 1500rpm to prepare waterborne polyurethane D with a solid content of 40%.
[0036] The waterborne polyurethanes prepared in the examples and comparative examples were subjected to the following performance tests: (1) Alkali resistance test: The resin was coated on the PET film substrate, dried in an oven at 80°C, and then immersed in a 5% NaOH solution for 12 hours. The appearance of the coating was then observed.
[0037] (2) Transmittance test: The transmittance of waterborne polyurethane was tested using a spectrophotometer.
[0038] (3) Mechanical property test: The tensile test was conducted according to GB / T1040.3-2006 standard. PET film was used as the substrate and the specimens were cut into 15 mm wide and 50 mm gauge length using a dumbbell-shaped cutter. The specimens were placed at 23±2℃ for 24 h before the tensile test was performed.
[0039]
[0040] The above results show that the waterborne polyurethane of the present invention has high light transmittance (transmittance ≥85%) and high mechanical properties (tensile strength ≥15MPa), and excellent alkali resistance. According to the test, the aluminized plate coated with the protective adhesive of the present invention can still remain intact and without abnormal changes after being immersed in 5% sodium hydroxide solution for 12 hours, showing excellent long-term alkali corrosion resistance.
[0041] The aqueous polyurethane used in the examples and comparative examples was used to prepare a protective adhesive for aluminum plating. The specific preparation method is as follows: According to the proportions in Table 2, water and isopropanol were first added to a mixing tank and stirred at 400 rpm until homogeneous. Then, a dispersant was slowly added while stirring, and stirring was continued at 400 rpm for 12 minutes to fully dissolve the dispersant in the solvent. Then, titanium dioxide was slowly added while stirring at 400 rpm. After the addition was completed, stirring was continued for 40 minutes to initially disperse the titanium dioxide in the system. After the initial dispersion was completed, the speed was increased to 1200 rpm for high-speed dispersion for 45 minutes. After dispersion was completed, the speed was reduced to 600 rpm, and aqueous polyurethane and leveling agent were slowly added. At the same time, an antifoaming agent was added to eliminate the air bubbles introduced during stirring. Stirring was carried out at 600 rpm for 25 minutes, and the mixture was filtered through a 200-mesh filter to prepare an alkali-resistant protective adhesive.
[0042] The protective adhesives prepared in the application examples and application comparison examples were subjected to the following performance tests: (1) Solid content: The solid content was determined by drying and weighing method. A certain amount of protective latex was dried at 105℃ to constant weight and the solid content was determined.
[0043] (2) pH: Measured using a pH meter.
[0044] (3) Viscosity: Measured at 25°C using a rotational viscometer.
[0045] (4) Mechanical property testing: The tensile test was conducted according to GB / T1040.3-2006 standard. PET film was used as the substrate and the specimens were cut into 15 mm wide and 50 mm gauge length using a dumbbell-shaped cutter. The specimens were placed at 23±2℃ for 24 h before the tensile test was performed.
[0046] (5) Alkali resistance test: The protective adhesive is coated on the PET film substrate, dried in an oven at 80°C, and then immersed in a 5% NaOH solution for 12 hours. The appearance of the coating is then observed.
[0047]
[0048] The results above show that the protective adhesive formulated with water-based polyurethane according to the present invention can achieve both excellent mechanical properties and alkali resistance, effectively solving the technical problems of bubbling and peeling that are prone to occur in traditional protective adhesives in alkaline environments. Tests showed that the aluminized sheet coated with the protective adhesive of the present invention remained intact and showed no abnormal changes after being immersed in a 5% sodium hydroxide solution for 12 hours, demonstrating excellent long-term resistance to alkali corrosion.
[0049] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
