Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of architectural coatings technology, specifically to a green and environmentally friendly stone-like paint using desert sand as aggregate and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Stone-like paint, a thick architectural coating that closely resembles natural stone in its decorative effect, is widely used in building exterior wall decoration projects due to its aesthetic appeal, strong texture, and good weather resistance. Traditional stone-like paint primarily uses natural or dyed colored sand as aggregate. However, natural colored sand resources are limited, and over-exploitation can severely damage the ecological environment; furthermore, its extraction and transportation costs are high. Dyed colored sand, on the other hand, generally suffers from poor colorfastness, easy fading, and weak adhesion to the emulsion, leading to problems such as peeling and discoloration of the stone-like paint coating during use, affecting the building's decorative effect and service life.

[0003] Desert sand is abundant globally, but its color is monotonous, mostly yellowish-brown, with a smooth surface and chemical inertness. This results in poor interfacial compatibility and weak adhesion with paint emulsions. When used directly as aggregate in stone-like paint, it leads to insufficient paint film adhesion, easy cracking and peeling. Furthermore, it cannot meet the diverse color requirements of architectural decoration. Therefore, it has long been underutilized. How to modify desert sand through technical means to solve its problems of monotonous color and insufficient adhesion, transforming it into a high-performance aggregate for stone-like paint, and realizing the resource-based and high-value utilization of desert sand, while simultaneously reducing the production cost of stone-like paint and mitigating the environmental damage caused by the mining of natural colored sand, has become an urgent technical challenge in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a green and environmentally friendly stone paint with desert sand as aggregate and its preparation method. By performing special modification treatment on desert sand, the problems of desert sand's single color and weak adhesion to emulsion are solved, and an environmentally friendly stone paint with stable color, strong adhesion and excellent weather resistance is prepared, realizing the high-value application of desert sand in high-end architectural coatings.

[0005] This invention is implemented as follows:

[0006] According to a first aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a green and environmentally friendly stone-like paint using desert sand as aggregate, which is made from the following raw materials in parts by weight:

[0007] 150-200 parts of silicone-acrylic emulsion;

[0008] Colored modified desert sand, 400-500 parts;

[0009] 50-100 parts of auxiliary aggregate;

[0010] Thickener 2-4 parts;

[0011] 8-12 parts of film-forming aid;

[0012] 1-2 parts preservative;

[0013] 100-150 parts water.

[0014] The colored modified desert sand is desert sand that has undergone surface activation treatment and high-temperature sintering for coloring. Its particle size range is 20-80 mesh. Desert sand within this particle size range can ensure that the real stone paint coating has good texture and breathability.

[0015] Furthermore, the preparation method of the color-modified desert sand includes the following steps:

[0016] a. Pretreatment: First, the raw desert sand is washed with water to remove the dust and soluble impurities attached to the surface, then acid washed, then washed with clean water until the pH value is neutral, and finally dried.

[0017] b. Surface activation treatment: The pretreated desert sand is soaked in a silane coupling agent solution and then dried;

[0018] c. Coloring treatment: The surface-activated desert sand is mixed with inorganic mineral pigments and sintered at 800-900℃ for 1-2 hours. The pigments are firmly bonded to the desert sand particles through high-temperature sintering. After cooling, the colored modified desert sand is obtained.

[0019] Furthermore, the silane coupling agent is KH-560, with a solution concentration of 1-2%. This type of silane coupling agent can effectively improve the surface activity of desert sand and enhance its adhesion to the emulsion.

[0020] Furthermore, the inorganic mineral pigment is an iron oxide pigment (such as iron oxide red, iron oxide yellow, iron oxide black, etc.), and its dosage is 3%-5% of the desert sand mass. Iron oxide pigments have the advantages of bright color, strong weather resistance, and stable chemical properties, which can ensure the long-lasting color of the real stone paint coating.

[0021] Furthermore, in step a, the pickling involves soaking the desert sand in 5%-10% dilute hydrochloric acid for 2-4 hours, which can effectively remove harmful impurities such as iron oxides and carbonates from the surface of the desert sand. The drying temperature is 105±5℃, which can completely remove the moisture from the desert sand and avoid affecting the subsequent modification effect. In step b, the soaking time for surface activation is 1-2 hours to ensure that the silane coupling agent can fully adhere to the surface of the desert sand to form an activation layer.

[0022] Furthermore, the auxiliary aggregate is 40-120 mesh white quartz sand or marble powder. Adding auxiliary aggregate can adjust the texture and color gradation of the real stone paint, making the decorative effect closer to natural stone.

[0023] Furthermore, the thickener is hydroxyethyl cellulose, which can effectively adjust the viscosity of the stone paint, prevent aggregate settling, and ensure the storage stability and application performance of the coating.

[0024] Furthermore, the film-forming aid is 12-ol ester, which can lower the minimum film-forming temperature of silicone-acrylic emulsion, promote the formation of a continuous and dense paint film on the substrate surface, and improve the integrity and durability of the coating.

[0025] Furthermore, the preservative is an isothiazolinone preservative, which can effectively inhibit the growth and reproduction of microorganisms during the storage and use of the coating, and extend the shelf life of the coating.

[0026] According to a second aspect of the present invention, the present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned green and environmentally friendly stone paint using desert sand as aggregate, comprising the following steps:

[0027] S100. Mix water, thickener, preservative, and film-forming aid evenly. S200. Add silicone-acrylic emulsion and mix evenly. S300. Slowly add color-modified desert sand and auxiliary aggregates, and stir until all aggregates are evenly coated with the slurry to obtain the finished stone paint.

[0028] Furthermore, the stirring in steps S100-S300 is all done at low speed, which means the stirring speed is 350-500 rpm. This stirring speed can ensure that the components are fully mixed, and can also avoid excessive bubbles caused by excessive stirring speed, which would affect the coating quality. In step S200, the stirring time is 5-10 minutes to ensure that the silicone-acrylic emulsion is fully integrated with other components. In step S300, the stirring time is 10-15 minutes to ensure that all aggregates are completely and uniformly coated by the emulsion slurry without agglomeration.

[0029] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Through the modification treatment of desert sand and the synergistic optimization of formula and process, this invention successfully prepares a green and environmentally friendly real stone paint with stable color, strong adhesion, and excellent weather resistance. It not only solves the problems of idle and wasteful desert sand resources in desert areas and the many problems existing in traditional real stone paint aggregates, but also realizes the high-value utilization of solid waste resources. It has significant economic, social and environmental value and has broad application prospects in the field of building exterior wall decoration materials. Attached Figure Description
