Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of leather technology, specifically relating to a weather-resistant and corrosion-resistant leather and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] The core component of leather (especially genuine leather) is collagen fibers, which have a large number of porous structures. Artificial leather / synthetic leather is mostly made of PVC, PET, or polyurethane resin, and its surface also has microscopic cracks. The peptide bonds in collagen fibers are easily degraded and broken by ultraviolet (UV) radiation, causing the leather fibers to lose their toughness, resulting in hardening, brittleness, cracking, and fading. The porous structure of leather easily absorbs external corrosive media (such as sweat and surfactants in detergents), which can penetrate into the fibers, causing collagen hydrolysis and mold growth. For artificial leather, acidic and alkaline media can damage the cross-linking structure of the base resin, leading to coating peeling and base material powdering. Without weather-resistant and corrosion-resistant surface treatment, leather will rapidly fail due to environmental erosion and cannot meet diverse application requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0024] A weather-resistant and corrosion-resistant leather prepared using the above-described method.
[0025] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0026] This invention protects leather from ultraviolet rays and corrosive substances by coating the leather surface with a polyurethane coating agent with good weather and corrosion resistance, thereby improving the weather and corrosion resistance of leather products.
[0027] Specifically, the synergistic effect of lignin-zinc oxide nanopowder, through the dual superposition of chemical corrosion inhibition and physical shielding, not only inhibits the direct reaction between the substrate and the corrosive medium but also slows down the penetration rate of the corrosive medium, ultimately achieving a more durable and comprehensive corrosion protection effect than a single component. The porous structure of mesoporous nano-silica refracts some ultraviolet light, improving weather resistance. The mercapto groups of mercapto-modified mesoporous silica undergo a mercapto-olefin click reaction with the carbon-carbon double bonds of cashew nut shells, resulting in uniform dispersion of the mesoporous silica composite particles within the polyurethane matrix. This significantly extends the penetration path of the corrosive medium, making it difficult to reach the leather substrate and improving the leather's corrosion resistance. Furthermore, the phenolic hydroxyl groups of cashew nut shells undergo an addition reaction with the isocyanate groups of diisocyanate to form urethane bonds, which are chemically inert and not easily damaged by acids, alkalis, organic solvents, or ultraviolet light. This significantly improves the crosslinking density and chemical stability of the polyurethane matrix, preventing matrix degradation that could lead to coating cracking and powdering.
[0028] The above-mentioned multi-dimensional synergistic approach improves the weather resistance and corrosion resistance of leather. Detailed Implementation

[0110] The test results above show that the leathers prepared in Examples 1-3 of this scheme have better corrosion resistance than the comparative examples.
[0111] This solution utilizes the conjugated aromatic ring structure of lignin to efficiently absorb ultraviolet light; nano-zinc oxide has both physical shielding and chemical absorption functions, forming a dual anti-ultraviolet effect with lignin, which can effectively scavenge free radicals induced by ultraviolet light, greatly reducing the photodegradation process and indirectly improving the UV resistance of polyurethane; the mesoporous structure of nano-silica has a refractive index difference with the polyurethane matrix, which can refract some ultraviolet light, while the coating structure prevents lignin and zinc oxide from agglomerating, ensuring uniform distribution of anti-ultraviolet components and extending weather resistance; the long-chain alkyl and aromatic ring structure of cashew phenol can enhance the flexibility and crack resistance of the polyurethane coating, preventing the coating from becoming embrittled after ultraviolet aging; the aromatic ring structure itself can also help absorb ultraviolet light, further improving the anti-aging ability; after the polyurethane is cured by light, the crosslinking density increases, reducing the porosity of the coating, reducing the damage of ultraviolet light to the internal structure, and delaying the yellowing and chalking of the coating.
[0112] Mesoporous silica composite particles can be uniformly dispersed in polyurethane coatings, significantly extending the penetration path of corrosive media and making it difficult for them to reach the leather substrate. The high specific surface area of the mesoporous structure can also adsorb some of the corrosive media, reducing their activity. The polyurethane prepolymer is fully cross-linked with modified cashew phenol and active monomers to form a low-porosity coating, optimizing film formation and avoiding defects such as pinholes and cracks in the coating, thus reducing the penetration channels of corrosive media. In addition, the synergistic effect of lignin and zinc oxide inhibits the chemical reaction between the substrate and the corrosive media, further blocking corrosion.
[0113] The thiol groups of mesoporous silica undergo a thiol-olefin click reaction with the carbon-carbon double bonds of cashew nut shells to form stable CSC covalent bonds, which anchor the mesoporous silica to the cashew nut shell molecular chain. This prevents the silica from falling off due to immersion in corrosive media or friction, thus ensuring the long-lasting weather and corrosion resistance.
[0114] The phenolic hydroxyl groups of cashew phenol undergo an addition reaction with the isocyanate groups of diisocyanate to form urethane bonds. This is chemically inert and not easily damaged by acids, alkalis, organic solvents, ultraviolet rays, etc. It can significantly improve the crosslinking density and chemical stability of the polyurethane matrix, and avoid the coating cracking and powdering caused by matrix degradation.
