AI Technical Summary
Existing water-based acrylic polyurethane topcoats are prone to chalking and loss of gloss under long-term outdoor exposure. Insufficient crosslinking density leads to low film hardness and poor acid, alkali and water resistance.
A two-component system with a specific ratio is adopted, including a main agent and a curing agent. The main agent is composed of water-based hydroxyl-containing acrylic dispersion, water-based polycarbonate-type polyurethane dispersion, pigments and fillers, cosolvents, dispersants, wetting agents, defoamers, rheology modifiers and light stabilizers. The curing agent is composed of hydrophilic aliphatic polyisocyanate and propylene glycol diacetate. The performance of the coating film is improved by optimizing the components and ratio.
It significantly improves the acid, alkali and water resistance of the paint film, and improves hardness and flexibility, prevents chalking and loss of gloss, and delays photoaging caused by ultraviolet rays.
