Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of paint, in particular to an insulating glass finish for electrical equipment and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the continuous progress of science and technology, glass is increasingly widely used in electrical equipment and electronic components. However, the traditional glass paint has poor insulation, which can easily cause current leakage and other problems, and brings certain hidden dangers to the safe operation of electrical equipment and electronic components. Developing high-performance insulating paint is a research hotspot. Epoxy resin itself has good insulating properties, high mechanical strength, and excellent corrosion resistance, but the toughness and impact resistance of epoxy resin are low, and the wear resistance is not good, which is not conducive to the protection of glass. The research and development of insulating glass finish is still a field full of challenges and opportunities, and it is an urgent need to develop a new type of insulating glass finish to replace traditional paint to prevent current leakage and promote the continuous innovation and development of insulating paint technology.
[0003] Alumina has strong wear resistance, high resistivity, and high mechanical strength, and is widely used in wear-resistant insulating materials, but alumina is prone to agglomeration and has poor dispersibility in epoxy resin, which is not conducive to improving the wear resistance, insulation and other properties of epoxy resin, and will affect the impact strength and other mechanical properties of epoxy resin paint. SUMMARY
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present application provides an insulating glass finish for electrical equipment and a preparation method thereof, which solves the problem of poor wear resistance and other properties of epoxy resin paint and improves the wear resistance and other properties.
[0005] Technical scheme: An insulating glass finish for electrical equipment, the finish comprises epoxy resin, solvent, alumina powder, modified dispersant, leveling agent, defoaming agent and curing agent in a mass ratio of 100:(40-55):(30-60):(3-8):(0.4-1):(0.6-1.5):(3.6-4.5).
[0006] The preparation method of the finish is as follows: (1) adding dichloromethane, N-Boc-histidine, dibromoalkane and potassium carbonate into a reaction bottle provided with a condensation reflux tube, stirring and reacting, then adding trifluoroacetic acid to the filtrate after filtration, continuing to react, removing the Boc group, distilling under reduced pressure, washing the crude product with petroleum ether, then adding to ethanol, heating and evaporating, cooling and crystallizing, and recrystallizing to obtain dihistidine-based alkane; the reaction formula is as follows: .
[0007] (2) adding ethanol, di-histidine-based alkane, and aqueous solution of glutaraldehyde into a reaction bottle with a condensing reflux tube, drying to remove ethanol and water after reaction, washing the product with ethanol, and drying to obtain a modified dispersant. The reaction formula is: .
[0008] (3) adding solvent, alumina powder, and modified dispersant into a high-speed disperser, shearing and dispersing, then adding epoxy resin, leveling agent, and defoaming agent, shearing and dispersing, and then adding a curing agent to obtain an insulating glass topcoat for electrical equipment.
[0009] Preferably, the solvent includes isopropyl alcohol or n-butanol.
[0010] Preferably, the curing agent is an amine curing agent, including 2-ethyl-4-methylimidazole and 2-methylimidazole.
[0011] Preferably, the molar ratio of N-Boc-histidine, dibromoalkane, and potassium carbonate in (1) is (2-2.4):1:(2.6-3.2).
[0012] Preferably, the structure of the dibromoalkane in (1) is Br-(CH2) n -Br, and n is 10-18.

[0018] Preferably, the second shearing and dispersing time in (3) is 20-40min, and the temperature is 20-30°C.
[0019] The beneficial technical effects of this invention are as follows: A modified dispersant is obtained by reacting dihistidine-based alkanes with glutaraldehyde via Schiff base polymerization. This dispersant, along with alumina and imidazole curing agents, is then added to epoxy resin to obtain an insulating glass topcoat for electrical equipment. The modified dispersant contains a large number of carboxyl groups, which can modify the surface of alumina powder. The long-chain alkanes and polymer molecular chains it contains can exert a steric hindrance effect, thereby reducing alumina agglomeration and ensuring uniform dispersion in the epoxy resin topcoat, forming an insulating network. This improves the volume resistivity and insulation performance of the epoxy resin, and also enhances its wear resistance.
[0020] The modified dispersant of this invention contains imidazole groups, which can participate in the curing reaction of epoxy resin, thereby chemically bonding the polymer molecular chains containing flexible alkyl groups into the epoxy resin, providing a good toughening effect on the epoxy resin, while improving the interfacial properties between alumina and epoxy resin, improving the compatibility between alumina and epoxy resin, thereby improving the impact strength and toughness of epoxy resin, and better protecting the glass substrate.

[0042] Table 1 Performance of the paint
[0043] Compared with Comparative Examples 1-4, the epoxy resin topcoat of Examples 1-4 has higher volume resistivity and impact strength, and lower friction quality loss, and has better insulation performance, toughness, and wear resistance, mainly because the modified dispersant contains a large amount of carboxyl groups, which can achieve surface modification of the aluminum oxide powder, and the long-chain alkane and polymer molecular chain contained therein can play a steric hindrance effect, thereby reducing the agglomeration of the aluminum oxide, uniformly dispersing in the epoxy resin topcoat, forming an insulating network, improving the volume resistivity and insulation performance of the epoxy resin, and improving the wear resistance. The modified dispersant contains imidazole groups, which can participate in the curing reaction of the epoxy resin, thereby chemically bonding the polymer molecular chain containing flexible alkyl groups to the epoxy resin, which has a good toughening effect on the epoxy resin, and at the same time improves the interfacial performance of the aluminum oxide and the epoxy resin, and improves the compatibility of the aluminum oxide and the epoxy resin, thereby improving the impact strength and toughness of the epoxy resin.
