AI Technical Summary
The existing PCCP pipe socket joint sealing structure has insufficient durability under different stress interferences and environmental factors. In particular, its workability and sealing performance are poor in areas with large temperature differences and low humidity, and it is prone to cracking and corrosion problems.
The joints are separated by elastic barrier components, and a two-layer sealing structure of mortar and polyurethane sealant is used. The low adhesion strength between the elastic barrier components and the mortar and polyurethane sealant ensures that the stress is applied at two points during deformation, thus avoiding the cracking of the sealant layer. At the same time, the durability of the sealing structure is improved by using low-temperature fast-curing polyurethane sealant and anti-corrosion coating.
It achieves durable sealing under different stress and environmental conditions, improves the durability and ease of construction of the sealing structure, avoids the cracking of the adhesive layer and mortar, and is suitable for areas with large temperature differences and low humidity.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of PCCP pipe socket sealing technology, specifically to a PCCP pipe socket joint sealing structure and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Prestressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP) is a composite pipe made of high-strength prestressed steel wire, steel cylinder, concrete, and cement mortar. It combines the rigidity of concrete with the tensile strength of steel, offering significant advantages in large-diameter (e.g., 2-5 meter diameter), high-pressure, and long-distance drainage projects. Currently, PCCP is mainly used in large-scale, important water conveyance projects, such as urban water supply mains and industrial water pipelines, large-scale water diversion projects, power plant circulating water pipelines and pressure tunnels, and large-scale agricultural irrigation water transmission lines.
[0003] The socket joint of a PCCP pipe is a critical connection point and also the weakest point in the entire pipeline sealing system. Its sealing performance directly affects the overall performance of the pipeline. Once damaged, moisture, sulfates, chloride ions, and other substances can enter and corrode the prestressed steel wire. Steel wire corrosion is the most significant and destructive failure mode of PCCP. Once the steel wire breaks, the prestress is lost, and the pipe body may burst.
[0004] Currently, the joint grooves formed at the joints after PCCP socket installation are usually filled and sealed with cement mortar. For example, cement mortar with a compressive strength of 20MPa is mixed with water on site and then filled. However, the quality and amount of water added are uncontrollable, causing cracking during the mortar curing process. Moreover, during the service of the pipeline, phenomena such as water hammer and geological subsidence may be difficult to avoid. In desert, Gobi and arid areas, there is a lot of wind and sand, large temperature difference, and low humidity. In autumn, the highest daytime temperature is around 20℃, and the nighttime temperature often drops below -5℃. The unique application conditions caused by the superposition of various factors place higher demands on the workability of the joint groove sealing system and the durability of the filling and sealing materials at the joint grooves under different stress interferences and environmental factors.
[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only for understanding the background of this application. Therefore, the background section of this invention may include background information about the problems or environment of this invention, and is not necessarily a description of the prior art.

[0070] Another technical solution provided by the present invention: a PCCP pipe socket joint sealing structure prepared by the above-described method.
[0071] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art: Based on the shortcomings of existing PCCP socket joint sealing structures, such as insufficient durability, this invention innovatively provides an improved method for preparing a PCCP pipe socket joint sealing structure. This method uses a combination of two sealing structures: mortar and polyurethane sealant, especially with an elastic barrier component that has very low bonding strength between the two. First, its function as a barrier facilitates the application of mortar and polyurethane sealant. Secondly, its inherent elasticity makes it easy to squeeze into the joint for quick and relatively stable installation; Third, since the bonding strength between it and the mortar and polyurethane sealant on both sides is very small, when the two deform, the force is basically applied at two points, which helps to ensure that the mortar and the adhesive layer do not break (more than three points of force can easily cause the adhesive layer to break). At the same time, the elastic barrier can also provide a buffer margin for deformation, preventing the relatively sharp mortar curing layer from piercing the adhesive layer, thereby improving the durability of the overall sealing structure.
[0072] Furthermore, this invention also provides a polyurethane sealant with good leveling properties, rapid curing, and ultra-low modulus characteristics at low temperatures. When applied to the sealing structure of PCCP pipe socket joints, it addresses the following issues: Firstly, since the PCCP pipe socket joint is an annular groove, the sealant needs to have good fluidity, especially at low temperatures, where the viscosity cannot increase too much, otherwise self-leveling will be difficult to achieve, affecting construction. Secondly, curing is usually slow at low temperatures, which also affects the construction progress. The polyurethane sealant of this invention can achieve rapid curing at low temperatures through formulation design.
[0073] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a single-component polyurethane coating with rapid curing characteristics in low-temperature and low-humidity environments. At the same time, the viscosity of the material increases only slightly at low temperatures, and it can still maintain a suitable viscosity, which facilitates the anti-corrosion construction of pipe joints.

Detailed Implementation
[0075] The above-described solution will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are used to illustrate the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the scope of the following embodiments. The implementation conditions used in the embodiments can be further adjusted according to specific requirements, and the implementation conditions not specified are generally the conditions in conventional experiments. Unless otherwise specified in the following embodiments, all raw materials are commercially available or prepared by conventional methods in the art.
[0076] To facilitate understanding of the preparation method of the PCCP pipe socket joint sealing structure of the present invention, the following is combined with... Figures 1 to 3 The structure of PCCP pipes and their socket joints is described. (See also...) Figures 1 to 3 As shown, two PCCP pipes 10 are joined together to form a longer pipe. The required length can be used to join a corresponding number of PCCP pipe segments. Between the two joined PCCP pipes 10, there is a socket joint 20. The socket joint 20 is a semi-closed annular groove with the opening facing outward. This annular groove needs to be sealed to ensure that the fluid flowing inside the pipe, such as water, is not contaminated by external impurities or contaminants.
[0077] Currently, only cement mortar is used for sealing. However, the sealing structure formed by cement mortar is difficult to adapt to complex environmental conditions. For example, during the service of the pipeline, phenomena such as water hammer and geological settlement may be unavoidable. As a result, the two connected PCCP pipe sections may be misaligned, which may lead to cracking of the rigid cement hardened structure. In particular, PCCP pipes are usually buried underground, making it difficult to detect and repair cracks in time. Furthermore, the durability needs to be improved, and the workability at low temperatures is insufficient.
[0078] Based on this, the present invention provides a new method for preparing a sealing structure for a PCCP pipe socket joint, the method comprising: Fill the joint with an elastic barrier to divide the joint into a first sub-joint and a second sub-joint arranged sequentially from the inside out, and reserve a first grouting port that communicates with the first sub-joint. A locking mechanism is used to hold the elastic barrier in the joint. Mortar is injected into the first sub-joint through the first grouting port. The locking mechanism is removed after the mortar stops flowing. The second sub-joint is sealed using a sealing mechanism and a second grouting port is reserved. Polyurethane sealant is injected into the second sub-joint through the second grouting port. After curing, the sealing mechanism is removed. According to the test method of JC / T 942-2022, the peel strength between the elastic barrier and the mortar, and between the elastic barrier and the polyurethane sealant, is less than or equal to 0.1 N / mm.
[0079] This method employs a two-layer sealing structure consisting of mortar and polyurethane sealant, especially with an elastic barrier component that has very low bonding strength with both. Firstly, this barrier component facilitates the application of the mortar and polyurethane sealant. Secondly, its elastic properties allow for quick and stable installation by pressing it into the joint. Thirdly, because of its very low bonding strength with the mortar and polyurethane sealant on both sides, when deformation occurs, the stress is primarily concentrated at both ends, thus preventing breakage of the mortar and sealant layers (stress at more than three ends easily causes sealant layer breakage). Simultaneously, the elastic barrier component provides a buffer against deformation, preventing the relatively sharp cured mortar layer from piercing the sealant layer, thereby improving the overall durability of the sealing structure.
[0080] The following is combined Figures 4 to 12 The preparation process of the novel PCCP pipe socket joint sealing structure described above is further explained.
[0081] See Figure 4 As shown ( Figure 4 Compared to Figure 3 The connection between the two PCCP pipe sections reveals more details. After the two PCCP pipe sections are connected by a socket, there is already a partial sealing area. However, this is different from the technical solution of this invention. Therefore, it will not be described in detail here. This invention is aimed at the joint 20 of the socket, that is, the semi-closed annular groove with the opening facing outward. After the two PCCP pipe sections are connected by a socket, a joint 20 of the socket is formed, that is, the semi-closed annular groove with the opening facing outward. This invention needs to seal this semi-closed annular groove.
[0082] See Figure 5 As shown, an elastic barrier 30 is filled into the joint. The elastic barrier 30 is approximately located in the middle of the joint, and the thickness of the elastic barrier 30 in the radial direction of the PCCP pipe is 0.05-0.2 times the height of the joint in the radial direction of the PCCP pipe (e.g., 0.05, 0.1, 0.12, 0.15, 0.18, etc.). The ratio of the height of the first sub-joint 21 in the radial direction of the PCCP pipe to the height of the second sub-joint 22 in the radial direction of the PCCP pipe is 1:0.2-1 (e.g., 1:0.2, 1:0.3, 1:0.4, 1:0.5, 1:0.6, 1:0.7, 1:0.8, etc.). By utilizing the elasticity of the elastic barrier 30, when it is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the joint, it can be stably fitted into the joint unless a large external force is applied. The seam is divided into a first sub-seam 21 and a second sub-seam 22 arranged sequentially from the inside out. The width of the second sub-seam 22 is greater than or equal to the width of the first sub-seam 21. The cross-section of the elastic barrier 30 is not specifically limited and can be square, round, elliptical, etc. When it is fitted into the joint, both sides of it can fit tightly against the inner wall of the joint. The elastic barrier 30 can be made of polyolefin material. Polyolefin material has a different polarity than mortar and polyurethane sealant, resulting in relatively low bonding strength. This allows it to be essentially non-adhesive or only slightly adhesive to the mortar and polyurethane sealant on both sides during barrier application. Thus, when either the mortar or polyurethane sealant undergoes significant deformation, it is difficult for the elastic barrier to pull on the other, ensuring good seal independence. Furthermore, the elastic barrier provides good buffering, absorbing the deformation of either material and reducing negative impacts on the other. In some specific cases, the polyolefin material includes one, two, or more combinations selected from polyethylene, polystyrene, ethylene-propylene copolymer, ethylene-butene copolymer, and propylene-butene copolymer.
[0083] Meanwhile, since the joint is basically a semi-closed annular groove, the elastic barrier is also continuously set along the extension direction of the joint, eventually forming a ring. The elastic barrier is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the joint. Therefore, in order to facilitate grouting, a first grouting port (not shown) communicating with the first sub-joint is reserved at the top of the entire annular elastic barrier. This reserved first grouting port can be formed by the ring not being completely closed, or by removing part of the elastic barrier. There is no specific limitation, as long as a first grouting port that can be used to inject grout is reserved. Furthermore, since the mortar, once injected into the first sub-joint, will exert significant weight and compress the elastic barrier, it may be forced out of the joint. Therefore, to ensure that the elastic barrier remains essentially stationary during mortar injection, a locking mechanism can be installed to firmly anchor it in the joint, keeping its position essentially immobile. The form of the locking mechanism is not specifically limited, as long as it can stably anchor the elastic barrier in the joint. For example, a rubber band can be attached to the outer wall of the elastic barrier, and locking the rubber band will thus hold the elastic barrier in place.
[0084] After the elastic barrier 30 is locked in place, mortar 40 is injected into the first sub-joint 21 through the first grouting port. Once the mortar 40 stops flowing, the locking mechanism is removed. That is, the locking mechanism can be removed after the mortar has initially set and hardened to its strength. At this point, the mortar 40 has stably filled the first sub-joint 21 and can bond firmly to the inner wall of the joint on its own. Even if the locking mechanism is removed, the elastic barrier will not be squeezed out. See the diagram for the structure at this point. Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown.
[0085] Then, the second sub-joint 22 is sealed using a sealing mechanism and a second grouting port (not shown) is reserved. Polyurethane sealant is injected into the second sub-joint 22 through the second grouting port. After curing, the sealing mechanism is removed. The structure of the sealing mechanism is not specifically limited, as long as it can seal the second sub-joint 22 and facilitate disassembly. For example, the sealing mechanism can include an isolation membrane and a rubber band. The isolation membrane is set inside the rubber band and faces the second sub-joint. The isolation membrane serves as an isolation to prevent the adhesive polyurethane sealant from directly contacting the rubber band. After the sealant cures, it may be difficult to remove the rubber band. By setting the isolation membrane, the rubber band can be prevented from sticking to the sealant layer. The isolation membrane can be made of polyolefin material and can be easily torn off when disassembling. See Figure 10 As shown, after the sealing mechanism seals the second sub-joint, polyurethane sealant can be injected into the second sub-joint through the reserved second grouting port; see [link / reference]. Figure 11 As shown, after the polyurethane sealant has initially cured and formed a stable adhesive layer, the sealing mechanism can be removed. First, remove the rubber wrapping tape, and then tear off the release liner. See the example structure shown below for the final result. Figure 7 As shown, the polyurethane sealant 50 layer is basically flush with the external anti-corrosion layer of the PCCP pipe. Finally, an anti-corrosion coating 60 can be applied to the outside of the polyurethane sealant layer to further protect the polyurethane sealant 50. This anti-corrosion coating 60 can also be applied to the peripheral areas other than the polyurethane sealant layer (e.g.,...). Figure 12 As shown), to ensure its integrity and the stability of the coating structure, forming as... Figure 8 The sealing structure of the PCCP pipe socket joint.
[0086] Furthermore, before injecting the polyurethane sealant, the surfaces of the elastic barrier and the second sub-joint are dried to control the moisture content to be less than or equal to 6%, in order to avoid excessive moisture curing of the polyurethane sealant and to prevent the formation of a large number of pore structures on the surface of the adhesive layer, which would affect the sealing performance of the adhesive layer.
[0087] Furthermore, the mortar is a polymer cement waterproof mortar that meets product standard JC / T984. Its raw materials include a first component and a second component. The first component is cement, fine aggregate, water-reducing agent, etc.; the second component is a high molecular elastic emulsion, such as one or a combination of acrylic rubber emulsion, chloroprene rubber emulsion, and butyl rubber emulsion. The mortar meets the requirements of Table 1 below.
[0088] Table 1
[0089] The mortar only needs to meet the requirements of polymer cement waterproof mortar in product standard JC / T984, and the present invention does not specifically limit its components.
[0090] Furthermore, since prestressed concrete cylinder pipes (PCCPs) are mainly used in large-scale and important water conveyance projects, and in some special regions such as the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, not only are there large temperature differences between day and night, but the low temperature period is also prolonged. Traditional sealants have obvious defects in low-temperature and low-humidity environments: First, the viscosity increases significantly at low temperatures, resulting in poor fluidity, making grouting difficult and deteriorating construction performance; second, the curing reaction rate decreases significantly at low temperatures, prolonging the surface drying time and actual drying time, affecting construction efficiency and increasing the risk of pollution (for example, slow curing may lead to the adhesion of pollutants such as sand and dust); third, the tensile modulus of the sealant is too high at low temperatures, resulting in excessive rigidity, which easily leads to delamination from the concrete substrate of the PCCP pipe, affecting the sealing effect. In addition, for anti-corrosion coatings, in regions like northern China, the environment is not only low-temperature but also usually low-humidity. For single-component moisture-curing anti-corrosion coatings, the low-temperature and low-humidity environment has a significant impact on the curing speed after on-site spraying, and weather resistance is also important. Similarly, easy low-temperature construction is also required.
[0091] Therefore, there are certain requirements for the performance of sealants and anti-corrosion coatings. To avoid long construction periods (shortening the construction period means reducing costs), they should be easy to apply and avoid harsh operating conditions that lead to inconvenience and easy rework. Thus, the materials should have good storage stability at low temperatures, fast curing speed, and excellent mechanical properties not only at high and normal temperatures, but also at low temperatures. Based on this, the present invention provides a polyurethane sealant with good leveling properties, rapid curing, and ultra-low modulus characteristics at low temperatures. When applied to the sealing structure of PCCP pipe socket joints, it addresses two key issues. First, since PCCP pipe socket joints are annular grooves, the sealant needs good flowability, especially at low temperatures where viscosity cannot increase too much, otherwise self-leveling will be difficult to achieve, affecting construction. Second, curing is typically slow at low temperatures, also impacting construction progress. The polyurethane sealant of this invention achieves rapid curing at low temperatures through formulation design. Simultaneously, a single-component polyurethane coating with rapid curing characteristics at low temperatures and low humidity is also provided. Furthermore, the viscosity of the material increases only slightly at low temperatures, maintaining a suitable viscosity, facilitating corrosion protection construction of pipe joints.
[0092] Furthermore, both the polyurethane sealant and the single-component polyurethane coating of the present invention utilize the specific bio-based polyol composition of the present invention. On one hand, this composition provides a specific bio-based polyol, which uses castor oil as a starting material. The main component of castor oil is fatty acid triglycerides, which not only contain multiple hydroxyl groups but also double bonds and relatively soft aliphatic chains. The present invention converts the double bonds into epoxy groups through an epoxidation reaction, and then performs an epoxy ring-opening reaction with a diol to form multidimensional hydroxyl groups distributed on the aliphatic chains. This is further reacted with a specific dihydroxyalkyl carboxylic acid to form a multidimensional polyol with a certain degree of branching. When used in reaction with isocyanates, it can form a structure with high crosslinking density, improving the coating's density. Moreover, this special structure of the multidimensional polyol has less steric hindrance on its surface, no molecular chain entanglement, and hydroxyl groups distributed on the molecular surface. When reacting with NCO groups, it can also expose the NCO end groups on the molecular surface, reducing moisture content during later curing. Substances such as molecule-chain polyols do not need to break through chain entanglement, allowing for easy contact and reaction, improving reaction kinetics, accelerating the formation of cross-linked networks, and increasing curing speed. In particular, this low degree of branching does not lead to an excessive increase in system viscosity, and the presence of fatty acid chains provides sufficient space for molecular chains to move after the reaction, avoiding the hard and brittle defects that may result from high cross-linking density. This can effectively reduce the tensile modulus of the material at low temperatures and improve durability. On the other hand, the compound of formula (III) of this invention, which is similar in structure to the aforementioned bio-based polyol (e.g., soybean oil), has no molecular chain entanglement compared to polyether diols or polyether triols. The branched structure plays an internal plasticizing role. In particular, the epoxy groups present can slowly participate in the reaction under specific conditions (catalyst conditions and / or temperature conditions), and can further utilize its flexible fatty acid chains to provide intramolecular plasticizing effect, avoiding a single rigid cross-linked structure. At the same time, it balances the relationship between high hardness and elongation at break, impact resistance, and other properties, ensuring excellent comprehensive performance and avoiding the problem of sacrificing one aspect for another.
[0093] The preparation process of the bio-based polyol of the present invention will be further explained below with reference to the specific reaction route: Castor oil undergoes an epoxidation reaction with a peroxy acid (such as trifluoroperacetic acid) to generate the first intermediate; ; The first intermediate undergoes an epoxy ring-opening reaction with the compound shown in formula (I) (e.g., ethylene glycol) to generate the second intermediate; ; In the reaction route, the structure of the second intermediate is only an exemplary structure. On the one hand, depending on the amount of ethylene glycol added, not all epoxy groups are ring-opened. On the other hand, the position where ethylene glycol is attached may also be on the left side. The second intermediate is esterified with the compound shown in formula (II) (for example, 2,2-dimethylolpropionic acid) to generate a bio-based polyol; ; In the reaction route, the structure of the bio-based polyol is only an exemplary structure. On the one hand, depending on the amount of 2,2-dimethylolpropionic acid added, some hydroxyl groups may undergo esterification. Of course, the bio-based polyol may also be a mixture, that is, the number of hydroxyl groups that may undergo esterification in some molecules may not be the same. In the end, a grafted modified product that follows the esterification reaction process is formed, namely, the bio-based polyol.
[0094] Furthermore, the bio-based polyol composition consists of a bio-based polyol and a compound of formula (III), which can be obtained by adding raw materials such as epoxidized soybean oil. Even further, the bio-based polyol and epoxidized soybean oil are compounded at a mass ratio of 1:0.25-0.50.
[0095] Specifically, the polyurethane sealant of the present invention comprises component A and component B; the raw materials of component A include polyol, a first bio-based polyol composition, and polyisocyanate; the raw materials of component B include chain extender, crosslinking agent, second bio-based polyol composition, filler, and catalyst. The first bio-based polyol composition and the second bio-based polyol composition each independently comprise a first unit and a second unit; the first unit comprises a bio-based polyol, which is prepared by the following method: epoxidizing castor oil with peroxy acid to generate a first intermediate; reacting the first intermediate with the compound shown in formula (I) to undergo an epoxidative ring-opening reaction to generate a second intermediate; and reacting the second intermediate with the compound shown in formula (II) to undergo an esterification reaction to generate a bio-based polyol. In equation (Ⅰ), R1 is selected from C 2-6 Alkylene; In equation (II), R2 and R3 are independently selected from C. 1-3 Alkylene; R4 is selected from C 1-3 alkyl or hydroxy substituted C 1-3 alkyl; The second unit includes the compound shown in formula (Ⅲ); In equation (Ⅲ), R5, R6, and R7 are independently selected from C. 2-10 Alkylene, C-type double bond interruption 2-10 alkylene and epoxy group interrupted C 2-10 Alkylene, R8, R9, R 10 Selected independently from C 2-10 Alkyl, alkenyl C 2-10 Alkyl, epoxy C 2-10 Alkyl groups, C-shaped double bonds2-10 Alkyl and epoxy groups with interrupted C 2-10 alkyl.
[0096] Further, by weight, the raw materials of component A include: 70-80 parts of polyol, 5-10 parts of the first bio-based polyol composition, and 10-20 parts of polyisocyanate; the raw materials of component B include: 5-10 parts of chain extender, 60-70 parts of crosslinking agent, 5-10 parts of the second bio-based polyol composition, 10-20 parts of filler, and 0.1-0.5 parts of catalyst; the mass ratio of component A to component B is 1:0.8-1.2.
[0097] Specifically, the raw materials of the single-component polyurethane anticorrosive coating of the present invention include a bio-based polyol composition, a polyisocyanate with an NCO group content of greater than or equal to 20%, fillers, anti-sagging additives, composite catalysts, and solvents. The bio-based polyol composition is the same as the first or second bio-based polyol composition in the polyurethane sealant; The composite catalyst consists of a main catalyst and a co-catalyst; the main catalyst contains dibutyltin dilaurate and / or stannous octoate, and the co-catalyst contains N,N-dimethylcyclohexylamine.
[0098] Furthermore, by weight, the raw materials of the single-component polyurethane anticorrosive coating include 30-50 parts of bio-based polyol, 15-25 parts of polyisocyanate with NCO group content greater than or equal to 20%, 6-10 parts of the compound shown in formula (Ⅲ), 10-20 parts of filler, 2-5 parts of anti-sagging agent, 0.3-1.5 parts of composite catalyst, and 5-20 parts of solvent.
[0099] Furthermore, in the composite catalyst of the single-component polyurethane anticorrosive coating, the crosslinking reaction rate between hydroxyl groups and isocyanates is controlled by the main catalyst, and the co-catalyst synergistically activates the activity of isocyanate groups. The synergistic effect of the two shortens the curing time under low humidity and avoids the coating embrittlement caused by a single high-dose catalyst. Furthermore, the main catalyst preferentially catalyzes the reaction between the hydroxyl groups of the polyether polyol and the -NCO groups of the isocyanate to form urethane bonds, laying the foundation for coating crosslinking. The co-catalyst, as a strongly alkaline catalyst, can directly activate the reactivity of the isocyanate groups, reducing the reaction activation energy. Even under low humidity, it can promote the reaction between -NCO and a small amount of water and the amino groups in the modifier components, compensating for the curing delay caused by insufficient moisture. Preferably, the mass ratio of the main catalyst to the co-catalyst is 2-3:1 to avoid phenomena such as "excessive surface drying and insufficient actual drying," which leads to incomplete crosslinking of the coating and a decrease in mechanical properties.
[0100] Using the specific bio-based polyol composition of this invention as the main component in a single-component polyurethane anticorrosion coating can fully balance the flexibility and impact resistance of the paint film. The long aliphatic chains of castor oil-based polyols exhibit strong flexibility, and the hydroxyl groups are relatively regularly distributed on the molecular chain. The prepared polyurethane molecular chain has a high proportion of flexible segments, resulting in a paint film with significantly better elongation at break and impact strength than ordinary petroleum-based aliphatic polyol systems. When the metal substrate experiences vibration or deformation (such as steel bridges and storage tanks), the paint film is less prone to cracking and peeling, maintaining a continuous and intact anticorrosion barrier, making it particularly suitable for substrates with high deformation rates. It also possesses stable weather resistance and anti-yellowing properties. The aliphatic chains of castor oil-based polyols do not contain aromatic rings, fundamentally avoiding the epoxidation, cracking, and yellowing problems caused by ultraviolet radiation in aromatic polyols. The polyurethane anticorrosion coating prepared with this composition exhibits good gloss and color retention after outdoor exposure, and is not prone to chalking. It can be used for long-term anticorrosion applications such as outdoor steel structures and building exterior walls, with weather resistance comparable to synthetic aliphatic polyester polyols, but at a lower cost. In particular, the single-component polyurethane anti-corrosion coating of the present invention can achieve the following properties in low temperature and low humidity environments: while ensuring good coating density, anti-sagging and mechanical properties, the curing time in low humidity environments is significantly shortened, and the coating storage stability (storage period ≥ 6 months at 25℃) is also guaranteed.
[0101] This invention further investigates the properties of the aforementioned polyurethane sealant and single-component polyurethane coating, and performs corresponding characterization based on specific experiments.
[0102] [Bio-based polyol compositions and their preparation]: The bio-based polyol composition comprises a first unit and a second unit, and the bio-based polyol composition is obtained by mixing the first unit and the second unit; wherein the first unit is a bio-based polyol, the second unit is epoxidized soybean oil, and the mass ratio of bio-based polyol to epoxidized soybean oil is 1:0.25. Bio-based polyols are prepared by the following method: Castor oil (140g), perfluoroacetic acid (20g), and sodium carbonate (0.28g) were weighed and added to a three-necked flask equipped with a reflux condenser and stirrer. The mixture was heated to 45°C and stirred for 3 hours until the reaction was complete. Then, ethylene glycol (160g) and tetrabutylammonium bromide (3.2g) were added to the three-necked flask, and the mixture was heated to 140°C for 3 hours under nitrogen protection. Next, 2,2-di(hydroxymethyl)propionic acid (80g) and p-toluenesulfonic acid (4g) were added to the three-necked flask, and the reaction was continued for 3 hours. After the reaction, the aqueous phase and organic layer were separated in a separating funnel. The organic layer was washed twice with distilled water and finally dried in a vacuum oven at 70°C to remove excess water, yielding a transparent, pale yellow liquid, which is the bio-based polyol. The obtained bio-based polyol was subjected to infrared spectroscopy testing; see [link to details]. Figure 13 As shown.
[0103] [Implementation Cases and Preparation of Polyurethane Sealants]: Polyurethane sealant implementation case 1: This polyurethane sealant contains component A and component B, with a mass ratio of component A to component B of 1:1; see Table 2 for specific formula raw materials.
[0104] Table 2
[0105] The preparation method of this polyurethane sealant includes: Preparation of component A: The polyether polyol and bio-based polyol composition were dried separately, with the water content controlled below 500 ppm. Then they were mixed with the remaining components and reacted at 80°C for 120 min to obtain component A. Preparation of component B: The chain extender, crosslinking agent, bio-based polyol composition, filler, and color paste in component B were mixed and dehydrated at 110°C under a vacuum of -0.09 MPa for 2 hours. Then, nitrogen gas was introduced to release the vacuum, a dispersant was added, the temperature was lowered to below 75°C, an antifoaming agent and a catalyst were added, and the mixture was stirred to obtain component B.
[0106] When using, simply mix component A and component B according to the mass ratio of the feed ingredients.

The viscosity at 23℃ is the viscosity measured by a rotational viscometer after mixing components A and B at 200 rpm for 5 minutes at 23℃. The viscosity at -5℃ is the viscosity measured by a rotational viscometer after placing components A and B at -5℃ for 2 hours, immediately mixing them (stirring at 200 rpm) for 5 minutes. The test method for the elongation adhesion at 23℃ is to prepare samples according to the method in JC / T 482-2022, and then observe the elongation adhesion after placing them at 23℃ for 24 hours. The test method for the elongation adhesion at -30℃ is to prepare samples according to the method in JC / T 482-2022, and then observe the elongation adhesion after placing them in a -30℃ refrigerator for 24 hours.
[0113] See Figure 14 As shown, this is a constant elongation test diagram of polyurethane sealant implementation case 1. Figure 15 The tensile test diagrams of the polyurethane sealant in Examples 1-3 show that the polyurethane sealant of the present invention maintains the integrity of the coating after being held under tension for a long time, while the polyurethane sealant in Examples 1-3 all showed varying degrees of fracture.
[0114] [Implementation Case and Preparation of Single-Component Polyurethane Anticorrosion Coatings]: Implementation Case 1 of Single-Component Polyurethane Anticorrosive Coating: By weight, the raw materials of this single-component polyurethane anticorrosive coating include 50 parts of the bio-based polyol composition prepared according to the above [Bio-based Polyol Composition and its Preparation], 25 parts of polymethylene polyphenyl isocyanate (PAPI, purchased from Shanghai McLean Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd.), 16 parts of filler, 2 parts of anti-sagging agent, 1 part of composite catalyst, 1 part of defoamer (BYK-054, purchased from BYK Chemical), and 5 parts of solvent; The filler is composed of nano-silica (purchased from Hubei Huifu Nanomaterials Co., Ltd., grade HB-701) and talc powder (purchased from Quanzhou Xufeng Powder Raw Materials Co., Ltd., grade XFH-818-F1) in a mass ratio of 1:5. The composite catalyst is composed of dibutyltin dilaurate and N,N-dimethylcyclohexylamine in a mass ratio of 2:1. The solvent is composed of anhydrous toluene and ethyl acetate in a mass ratio of 1:1.
[0115] The preparation method of this one-component polyurethane anti-corrosion coating includes: Weigh each raw material according to the above formula, and then dehydrate the bio-based polyol composition under vacuum conditions (vacuum degree is about -0.08MPa) at a temperature of 110°C for 3 hours; The packing material was dried at 90℃ for 6 hours to remove water. Under nitrogen protection, dehydrated bio-based polyol composition and solvent were added to the reaction vessel and stirred. Dehydrated filler was added under stirring conditions. The temperature was raised to 55±5℃ and stirred at 1000rpm for 60min to obtain a mixed slurry. Polymethylene polyphenyl isocyanate was added to the mixed slurry and the reaction was controlled at 65±5℃. When the NCO content was stabilized at about 5% by infrared detection, the reaction was stopped, the temperature was lowered to 40℃, the remaining components were added, mixed, and degassed to obtain a single-component polyurethane anti-corrosion coating.
[0116] [Reference Case and Preparation of One-Component Polyurethane Anticorrosion Coatings]: Reference Case 1 for Single-Component Polyurethane Anticorrosion Coating: It is basically the same as Implementation Case 1 for Single-Component Polyurethane Anticorrosion Coating, except that the bio-based polyol composition is replaced with the same amount of "polyether polyol composed of DL-2000D (Lanxing Dongda) and MN-3050DF (Lanxing Dongda) in a mass ratio of 4:1".
[0117] Reference Case 2 for Single-Component Polyurethane Anticorrosive Coating: Basically the same as Implementation Case 1 for Single-Component Polyurethane Anticorrosive Coating, except that the "bio-based polyol composition" is replaced with an equal amount of "single modified castor oil". The modified castor oil is prepared using the same method as the bio-based polyol in [Bio-based Polyol Composition and its Preparation], but the preparation process only proceeds to the epoxy ring-opening reaction and does not proceed to the subsequent esterification reaction.
[0118] [Performance Testing of Single-Component Polyurethane Anticorrosion Coatings]: The following performance tests were conducted on the single-component polyurethane anti-corrosion coatings obtained in Implementation Case 1 and Case 1-2, respectively.
