TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of polymer synthesis, in particular to a glycidyl tertiary carbonate-based high-solid low-viscosity resin, a preparation method thereof and a polyurethane coating. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the enhancement of environmental awareness and the increasing strictness of environmental regulations, the paint industry is facing great challenges and changes. Reducing the content of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in the paint system has become the main direction of industry development, which not only helps to reduce environmental pollution, but also protects people's health. High solid content paint, as one of the effective ways to achieve low VOC emission, has received extensive attention and research. It can reduce the amount of organic solvent used while meeting the performance requirements, thereby reducing VOC emissions. At the same time, the performance of the coating, such as drying speed, hardness, chemical resistance and weather resistance, directly affects the application range and service life of the coating, so the performance requirements for the resin are also increasing.
[0003] In the prior art, in order to meet the basic performance requirements of the paint, traditional hydroxyl acrylic resin or polyester resin is usually used. These resins have a wide range of applications in the paint industry and have certain advantages, such as good film-forming property and chemical corrosion resistance. When it is necessary to increase the solid content of the paint, the formula and synthesis process of the resin are often adjusted to achieve this goal. However, this method has certain limitations. In actual operation, the traditional hydroxyl acrylic resin or polyester resin often has a sharp increase in viscosity when increasing the solid content. In order to ensure the construction performance of the paint, a large amount of organic solvent must be added to reduce the viscosity, which undoubtedly increases the VOC emissions. In addition, in order to improve the performance of the coating, the crosslinking density and functional group activity of the resin are often considered. Generally speaking, resins containing primary hydroxyl groups have high reactivity, which is beneficial to rapid curing, and increasing the hydroxyl functionality of the resin can increase the crosslinking density of the coating, thereby improving the hardness and resistance of the coating. However, in actual application, it is very difficult to simultaneously achieve high solid content, low viscosity, high reactivity and high functionality, and the existing resin system cannot meet these performance requirements.
[0004] The prior art has obvious defects. The traditional hydroxyl acrylic resin or polyester resin has a sharp increase in viscosity when increasing the solid content, which brings great difficulties to the construction and application of the paint. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the construction, a large amount of organic solvent must be added to reduce the viscosity, which not only increases the cost, but also leads to a large amount of VOC emissions, which does not meet the environmental protection requirements. Moreover, it is difficult to find a resin that can simultaneously have the characteristics of high solid content, low viscosity, high reactivity and high functionality, which cannot meet the demand of the modern paint industry for high-performance and environmentally friendly coatings.

[0014] Further preferably, the solvent is an ester, a ketone, an aromatic hydrocarbon, or a mixture thereof, such as ethyl acetate, propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, methyl isobutyl ketone, toluene, etc.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the equivalent ratio of the hydroxyl groups and the isocyanate groups in the A component and the B component is 1: (0.9-1.2).
[0019] By adopting the technical scheme, the high-solid low-viscosity resin obtained by the present application is applied to the polyurethane coating, and due to the high activity of the resin, the isocyanate groups react rapidly to form a dense crosslinked network, so that the hardness, wear resistance, solvent resistance, and hydrolysis resistance of the coating are effectively improved, the tertiary carbonate structure in the resin further improves the hydrophobicity and weather resistance of the coating, in addition, the high reactivity of the resin and the isocyanate groups makes the drying rate of the coating significantly improved.
