Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of coating compositions, specifically to a benzimidazole-functionalized waterborne polyurethane, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Waterborne polyurethane, with its advantages of being environmentally friendly and having low volatility, has become a substitute for traditional solvent-based polyurethane and is used in the corrosion protection of metal surfaces. However, waterborne polyurethane contains a large number of hydrophilic groups, resulting in poor water and chemical resistance, and it cannot effectively block water, oxygen, and corrosive ions. Furthermore, in practical applications, waterborne polyurethane is easily damaged by ultraviolet radiation. Ultraviolet light can trigger a photo-oxidation reaction in the polyurethane matrix, leading to chalking, discoloration, loss of gloss, and decreased mechanical properties of the coating, ultimately causing it to fail. Therefore, developing a waterborne polyurethane with excellent UV resistance and corrosion resistance is crucial.

[0003] Chinese invention patent CN116554777B discloses a method for preparing a rigid, self-healing, water-based, environmentally friendly anti-flash rust coating of polyurethane. By using a conjugated grafting method, benzimidazole is attached to the side chains of polyurethane to form a conjugated benzimidazole structure, effectively preventing flash rust on the metal substrate during film formation. However, it does not have UV resistance. Chinese invention patent CN112876932B discloses a coating with long-lasting color-fixing properties and its preparation method, using a polymer latex with two closely related -NH groups. - Groups can interact with pigments containing C=O and / or =N. - and / or -O - The groups generate strong hydrogen bonds and complexation, which can stabilize organic pigments in the hydrophobic part of the particles, allowing the coating to maintain its color for a long time under continuous strong light. However, it cannot achieve both corrosion resistance and UV resistance at the same time. Summary of the Invention
