Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of polymer coating technology, specifically relating to an acrylic emulsion, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Stone-like paint is a decorative material that uses synthetic resin emulsion as the main binder and sand as aggregate to form a stone-like finish on building surfaces. Compared to traditional exterior wall decorations such as ceramic tiles, stone, and glass, stone-like paint has many advantages, including lower cost, easier application, stronger decorative effect, environmental friendliness, and no risk of peeling. In recent years, stone-like paint has become increasingly popular among builders and the market, and has become one of the leading coating materials in building exterior wall coating systems.

[0003] As the film-forming substance of stone-like paint, the emulsion plays a decisive role in the coating performance. Currently, most emulsions on the market use high glass transition temperatures (Tg) to improve the adhesion strength of the coating. While this results in a hard film, it lacks relative toughness and tends to become brittle at low temperatures and after prolonged use. Cracking is particularly likely at curved edges and in situations involving dynamic changes in the external insulation system, severely hindering the promotion and normal use of stone-like paint. Furthermore, the latest building industry standard, JG / T 24-2018 Synthetic Resin Emulsion Sand-textured Architectural Coatings, has added requirements for water absorption, flexibility, and adhesion strength to stone-like paint coatings, raising the performance standards for stone-like paint.

[0004] However, existing stone-like paints generally cannot simultaneously meet the standard requirements for flexibility and bonding strength. With the market demand driven by decoration trends and cost requirements, there is an urgent need for a high-performance stone-like paint emulsion that can combine flexibility and bonding strength, while meeting the standards of the construction industry in terms of water absorption, water whitening at normal and low temperatures and water whitening recovery, and mechanical stability. This would reduce formulation costs and enhance product competitiveness. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this application is to overcome the shortcomings of existing stone paints, which generally cannot meet the standard requirements of flexibility and bonding strength at the same time, and whose water absorption rate, water whitening at room temperature and low temperature and water whitening recovery, and mechanical stability cannot meet the industry standard requirements, thereby providing an acrylic emulsion and its preparation method and application.

[0037] According to another aspect of this application, a method for preparing the above-mentioned acrylate emulsion is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0038] S1, prepare core layer preemulsion A, shell layer preemulsion B, base liquid C containing polymerization inhibitor, core layer initiator solution and shell layer initiator solution respectively;

[0039] S2, add core layer pre-emulsion A and core layer initiator solution to the base liquid C, and react to obtain core layer reactants;

[0040] S3, add shell pre-emulsion B and shell initiator solution to the core reactant, and react to obtain a core-shell structured polymer. After the reaction is completed, adjust the pH and filter the product through a filter screen (to remove the gel formed during the reaction) to obtain the acrylate emulsion.

[0041] Specifically, in the above-mentioned stages and steps of this application:

[0042] First, seed emulsion and core layer emulsion are prepared. A portion of core layer pre-emulsion A and core layer initiator solution are added to the substrate solution to obtain seed emulsion. Then, the remaining majority of pre-emulsion A and initiator solution are added dropwise simultaneously. The seeds absorb monomers and continue to grow until the emulsion is completely added. The controllable part lies in the composition of core layer pre-emulsion A. The structure of the core layer polymer can be controlled by adjusting the type of pre-emulsion A and the content of each component.

[0043] After the core emulsion (i.e., the core reactant) is prepared, the shell pre-emulsion B and the shell initiator solution are added simultaneously in two drops to prepare polymer segments with a core-shell structure. Crosslinking agent components e) and f) are used in the core pre-emulsion A, and latex crosslinking agent h) is used in the shell pre-emulsion B. By combining multiple crosslinking technologies, the polymer segments are micro-crosslinked with each other to form a three-dimensional network structure, ensuring that the acrylic emulsion has excellent freeze-thaw stability. The stone paint prepared from it has high bonding strength, good flexibility, excellent water absorption, excellent water whitening at room temperature and low temperature and excellent recovery, and excellent overall comprehensive performance.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, based on the total amount of preemulsion, the kernel layer preemulsion A in the seed portion accounts for 2%-6% of the total preemulsion by mass, and the kernel layer preemulsion A accounts for 40%-60% of the total preemulsion (kernel layer preemulsion A and shell layer preemulsion B) by mass.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, based on the total amount of initiator solution (core initiator solution and shell initiator solution), the seed initiator solution accounts for 40%-60% of the total initiator solution by mass, the core initiator solution accounts for 70%-90% of the total initiator solution by mass, and the shell initiator solution accounts for 10%-30% of the total initiator solution by mass.

[0046] In this application, the preparation methods of the core layer preemulsion A, shell layer preemulsion B, base solution C, and initiator solution are conventional in the art. As an example, in some preferred embodiments, the method for preparing the core layer preemulsion A includes: taking 0.9-1.8 parts by mass of emulsifier, core layer components d), e), and 35-85 parts by mass of deionized water, and sequentially adding the core layer components a), b), c), f), and g), mixing well, and setting aside.

[0047] In some preferred embodiments, the method for preparing the shell preemulsion B includes: taking 0.3-0.6 parts by weight of emulsifier and 15-25 parts by weight of deionized water, and sequentially adding the shell components a), b), c), and h), mixing them well, and setting them aside.

[0048] In some preferred embodiments, the method for preparing the base liquid C includes: adding 0.15-0.3 parts by weight of emulsifier, 0.001-0.01 parts by weight of polymerization inhibitor and 40-100 parts by weight of deionized water to a reaction vessel, and heating to 82-90°C for later use;

[0049] In some preferred embodiments, the method for preparing the initiator solution (core initiator solution + shell initiator solution) based on the above-mentioned component proportions includes: mixing 0.2-0.8 parts by mass of initiator with 7.0-40 parts by mass of deionized water for later use.

[0050] In some preferred embodiments, the raw materials comprising the core preemulsion A, shell preemulsion B, base liquid C, and initiator solution are subjected to a free radical emulsion polymerization reaction, including the following steps:

[0051] At 82-90℃, add 2%-6% (by mass) of core layer preemulsion A and 40%-60% (by mass) of initiator solution to the base solution C in one step. After reacting for 5-10 minutes, begin double-dropping (i.e., simultaneous dropping) of the remaining core layer preemulsion A and initiator solution. Stop the dropping when the core layer preemulsion A is completely added, and keep the temperature for 10-30 minutes. Then, double-droppping the shell layer preemulsion B and the remaining initiator solution, ensuring that the initiator dropping time is longer than the total dropping time of core layer preemulsion A and shell layer preemulsion B. After the dropping is completed, keep the temperature for 15-45 minutes and then cool down to 70-75℃.

[0052] Add post-treatment agents (including oxidizing agents and reducing agents) dropwise into the reactor, keep it warm for 15-30 minutes after the addition is complete, and then cool it down to 35-45℃.

[0053] A neutralizing agent is added dropwise to the reaction vessel to adjust the pH to 7.0-9.0. Then, an antifoaming agent and a bactericide are added, and the mixture is filtered to obtain the acrylate emulsion.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment, the emulsifier is an anionic emulsifier, and suitable anionic emulsifiers include at least one of sodium dodecyl sulfate, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, sodium dodecyl diphenyl ether disulfonate, and sodium alkyl succinate sulfonate, more preferably sodium alkyl succinate sulfonate.

[0055] Preferably, the initiator is a water-soluble initiator, including but not limited to at least one of ammonium persulfate, sodium persulfate, and potassium persulfate, more preferably ammonium persulfate.

[0056] Preferably, the polymerization inhibitor is one or more selected from 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine oxide (TEMPO) and hydroquinone. Optionally, the amount of polymerization inhibitor used is 0.001-0.01 parts by weight.

[0057] Preferably, the post-treatment agent includes, but is not limited to, at least one of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (T-BHP), tert-amyl hydroperoxide (T-AHP), sodium bisulfite, sodium dithionite, and isoascorbic acid, preferably tert-butyl hydroperoxide and / or isoascorbic acid, and more preferably tert-butyl hydroperoxide and sodium bisulfite in a mass ratio of 1:0.8. Optionally, the amount of post-treatment agent used is 0.1-1.0 parts by mass.

[0058] Preferably, the defoamer is conventional in the field, including but not limited to at least one of mineral oil defoamer NXZ, BASF A10, Tego825, and BYK028; optionally, BASF A10 is used in an amount of 0.0002-0.001 parts by weight.

[0059] Preferably, the bactericide is conventional in the field, including but not limited to at least one of KATHON LX 150, KORDEK, QK-20, and ROCIMA 640; optionally, KATHON LX150 or KORDEK is used in an amount of 0.000014-0.00039 parts by weight.

[0060] In this application, the preparation processes of the core layer preemulsion A, shell layer preemulsion B, base solution C, and initiator solution are not sequential. Core layer preemulsion A and shell layer preemulsion B comprise mixtures of various monomers and are the main components participating in the polymerization reaction. Base solution C mainly includes process water, a very small amount of polymerization inhibitor, and a portion of emulsifier. This emulsifier primarily controls the particle size of the seed emulsion to obtain the final target particle size emulsion. The polymerization inhibitor prevents premature initiation of some monomers, ensuring uniform particle size distribution and good batch stability. A portion of the stabilizer (component e) in core layer preemulsion A prevents the mixed monomers from being too hydrophilic, which could easily lead to self-polymerization and slag discharge, ensuring stable polymerization and enabling an external circulation process, saving polymerization reaction time. The initiator in the initiator solution decomposes upon heating to generate free radicals, inducing free radical polymerization of the monomers.

[0061] According to another aspect of this application, the application of the above-described acrylic emulsion or the acrylic emulsion prepared by the above-described preparation method in architectural coatings is provided.

[0062] Optionally, the architectural coating includes at least one of stone-like paint, exterior wall emulsion, and interior wall paint.

[0063] The technical solution of this application has the following advantages:

[0064] The acrylic emulsion provided in this application consists of a core and a shell. The core layer contains an organic amine with three carbon-carbon double bonds, acting as both a crosslinking agent and a neutralizing agent, along with a mono-olefinic unsaturated hydrolyzable organosilicon monomer. The shell layer contains a polyolefinic unsaturated crosslinking monomer. Utilizing the three-dimensional network structure formed by the multiple double bonds in the core and shell layers, the density of the paint film is improved, resulting in a significant increase in the degree of crosslinking. This enhances the film's adhesive strength and reduces water absorption. Specifically, during the polymerization process of raw materials containing components a), b), c), and d), a specially structured component f) is added as a crosslinking agent and neutralizing agent, along with two different types of crosslinking agents (g) and h), and component e) as a co-stabilizer to ensure polymerization stability. By combining multiple crosslinking technologies with functional monomers, the acrylic emulsion, when applied in the construction field, forms a micro-reaction system between the emulsion and the base material, increasing the density of the paint film. This results in high adhesive strength, low water absorption, excellent water whitening at room temperature and low temperatures, and excellent water whitening recovery, while maintaining the film's flexibility.

[0065] Specifically, a special structural component f) is used as a crosslinking agent and neutralizer. It can effectively adjust the pH value of the reaction medium during polymerization and regulate the distribution of functional monomers (mainly components c), d), g), and h), so that they are distributed as much as possible on the surface of latex particles, reducing embedding. At the same time, it contains three carbon-carbon double bonds, which can carry out intermolecular crosslinking to form a three-dimensional network structure, which greatly improves the density of the paint film and the dispersibility of the base material, thereby improving the adhesion strength of the paint film, reducing water absorption, and enhancing mechanical stability. The core layer is compounded with carboxylic acid functional monomers (component c) and amino functional monomers (component d). The carboxylic acid functional monomers improve reaction stability, and a small portion of the self-polymerized carboxylic acid oligomers, after neutralization, become carboxylate salts, acting as dispersants and enhancing dispersibility with the base material, thus significantly improving the mechanical stability of the paint film. The amino functional monomers are non-ionizing monomers; the strong hydrophilicity of the amino groups contributes to the stability of latex particles, and their steric hindrance stabilization mechanism greatly contributes to the calcium ion stability of the emulsion. Therefore, the combination of these two monomers results in an emulsion with excellent calcium ion stability and mechanical stability. Component e) mono-olefinic unsaturated sulfonic acid and its salts can greatly improve the polymerization stability of the emulsion during polymerization, enabling external circulation processes, significantly shortening production time, and reducing the processing cost of acrylic emulsions.

[0066] The acrylate emulsion of this application adopts a pre-emulsification semi-continuous dripping process, which can effectively improve polymerization stability and allow the chemical reaction to proceed under relatively mild conditions.

[0177] Test case

[0178] Performance testing methods: The bonding strength, flexibility, and water absorption of the real stone paints prepared from the acrylic emulsions provided in each example and comparative example were tested according to the test methods for bonding strength, flexibility, and water absorption in JG / T24-2018 "Synthetic Resin Emulsion Sand-textured Architectural Coatings".

[0179] Mechanical stability: Weigh 500g of stone paint into a 500ml paint can, place the dispersion plate in the middle of the paint, adjust the speed to 2500rpm, and record the time when the paint surface in the can loses its gloss and becomes noticeably thicker.

[0180] Low-Temperature Water-Whitening and Restoration of Stone Paint: A layer of stone paint approximately 2mm thick was applied to an A4 asbestos-free cement board and cured for 18 hours in a constant temperature and humidity chamber at 25℃ or 5℃ and 50% humidity. The board was then rinsed with water for 6 hours, and the water-whitening effect of the water-soaked areas was compared. After restoring to room temperature for 24 hours, the water-whitening recovery and watermarks on the water-soaked areas were compared.

[0181] The performance test results are shown in Table 1 below:

[0182] Table 1

[0183]

[0184]

[0185] Note: 1 point is the worst, the skin turns white and cannot be restored; 5 points is the best, the skin does not turn white and can be fully restored.

[0186] As shown in Table 1, the emulsion prepared using the embodiments of the present invention, when formulated into a real stone paint, exhibits good flexibility, excellent bonding strength, low water absorption, and high mechanical stability. Furthermore, the real stone paint demonstrates excellent low-temperature water whitening and water whitening recovery.

[0187] Compared with the reaction system of the embodiments of the present invention, no organic amine was added to the raw material components of Comparative Example 1, an organic amine without double bonds was used in the raw material components of Comparative Example 2, a conventional strong base was used in the raw material components of Comparative Example 3, A-171 was not added to the core layer of Comparative Example 4, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate was not added to the shell layer of Comparative Example 5, a uniform structure was adopted in Comparative Example 6, a single crosslinking agent was used in Comparative Examples 7-9, component e) was not added to the core layer of Comparative Example 10, and the core layer components of Comparative Examples 11-12 were not within the scope of the specification. As can be seen from Table 1, the stone paint formulated from the emulsions prepared by Comparative Examples 1-12 cannot simultaneously achieve properties such as bonding strength, flexibility, water absorption, mechanical stability, room temperature and low temperature water whitening and water whitening recovery.

Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description.
