Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of primer technology, specifically to a high molecular weight polyester resin for primers, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Primers, also known as undercoats or adhesion promoters, are diluted solutions or emulsions applied to the surface of a substrate before printing to improve the adhesion between ink and the substrate. As the printing and packaging industry moves towards high-speed, environmentally friendly, and diversified substrates, the requirements for primers are increasing. Currently, industrially used ink primers are mainly divided into three categories: general-purpose solvent-based primers, two-component reactive primers, and radiation-cured primers.

[0003] General-purpose primers typically use polyester resins, alkyd resins, acrylic resins, or vinyl resins as the main film-forming agents, relying on physical drying through solvent evaporation to form a film. These primers are easy to apply, cost-effective, and suitable for various conventional substrates such as paper and treated plastics. However, they have poor chemical and heat resistance, insufficient adhesion to some non-polar substrates, and their drying speed is greatly affected by the environment, making it difficult to meet the efficiency requirements of high-speed printing production lines.

[0004] Two-component reactive primers consist of a base agent and a curing agent (e.g., a hydroxyl-containing resin base agent and an isocyanate curing agent). They are mixed before use and form a cross-linked network through a chemical reaction, exhibiting excellent adhesion, solvent resistance, and mechanical strength, making them suitable for almost all substrates. However, their application convenience is limited by process defects such as the need for on-site mixing before use, short pot life, harsh drying / curing conditions, and narrow application window. Furthermore, quality control is difficult, costs are high, and some cross-linked systems cannot be recycled after curing.

[0005] Radiation-cured primers consist of prepolymers, reactive diluents, and photoinitiators. They utilize ultraviolet (UV) light or electron beam (EB) irradiation to instantly transform from liquid to solid, offering environmental friendliness, energy efficiency, and excellent coating performance. However, their substrate limitations are significant, making them unsuitable for materials with shadows, depressions, or complex three-dimensional structures. Furthermore, the high cost of equipment and operating principles greatly restricts their applications.

[0006] In summary, general-purpose primers remain the most suitable for low-cost, high-volume printing production lines with simple substrates. High-speed printing lines require primers to dry rapidly at room temperature (typically ≤10 minutes) to avoid sticking during winding and post-printing defects. Increasing the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the primer resin is an effective way to accelerate the drying speed of general-purpose primers. However, high-Tg resins often have low solubility in common ink solvents such as ethyl acetate and methyl ethyl ketone, resulting in reduced adhesion to the substrate and a brittle coating that is not scratch-resistant and has poor flexibility. Balancing the fast drying speed, solubility, adhesion, and coating performance of primer resins has become a major research focus in ink primer technology.

[0007] Chinese patent CN104231879A, "Waterborne Polyester Primer for Reinforced Printing and Metallization and its Preparation Method," discloses a water-soluble polyester polyol resin comprising terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, sodium isophthalate-5-sulfonate, ethylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, catalyst one, catalyst two, and an antioxidant. By synthesizing a polyester polyol resin with a specific molecular structure and introducing sulfonate groups, a water-soluble polyester polyol resin with a relative molecular mass of 12000-18000, an acid value of less than 2 mgKOH / g, a hydroxyl value of 5-10 mgKOH / g, and a glass transition temperature of 60-70℃ is obtained. The resulting primer exhibits self-emulsifying ability, good solubility, and excellent adhesion to the substrate. However, the resin synthesis process is complex, the raw material cost is high, and hydrolysis side reactions are easily triggered during production. Furthermore, the coating performance still needs further improvement.

[0008] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a primer polymer polyester resin that does not require the introduction of sulfonate groups, still has good solubility, excellent adhesion to the substrate, and excellent coating performance, as well as its preparation method and application. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high molecular weight polyester resin for primer coating, its preparation method, and its application, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the need to introduce sulfonate groups into existing primer coating resins with high Tg, good solubility, and excellent adhesion to the substrate, complex synthesis process, high raw material cost, easy to cause hydrolysis side reactions during production, and the need for further improvement in coating performance.

[0029] S1. Feeding: Weigh each component according to the required ratio, and add terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, neopentyl glycol, 1,4-cyclohexanediol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, glycerol, trimethylolpropane and catalyst into the reaction vessel;

[0030] S2. Esterification reaction: Slowly heat to 150℃, and start stirring after the material begins to melt; gradually increase the temperature to 230-235℃, and keep the reaction at this temperature until the reactants are clear;

[0040] An application of a polymeric polyester resin for primer according to any one of the preceding claims, used in an ink primer.

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0042] (1) The primer polyester resin of the present invention is prepared from components including terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, neopentyl glycol, 1,4-cyclohexanediol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, glycerol, trimethylolpropane, catalyst, antioxidant, and auxiliary antioxidant. By designing the synergistic ratio of rigid monomers and flexible monomers, the alkyd molar ratio of polyacids and polyols is controlled, which can effectively improve the problems of existing primer resins that require the introduction of sulfonate groups, have complex synthesis processes, high raw material costs, are prone to hydrolysis side reactions during production, and whose coating performance still needs further improvement. The resulting primer, a high-molecular-weight polyester resin, does not require the introduction of sulfonate groups. It not only possesses a glass transition temperature of ≥60℃ and a surface drying time of ≤5 minutes at room temperature, but also exhibits good solubility in common ink solvents. The coating demonstrates excellent mechanical properties, scratch resistance, good flexibility, and a peel rate of ≤5%. It exhibits excellent adhesion to the substrate, with tensile strength retention exceeding 85%, and excellent hydrolysis resistance, allowing for long-term stable storage. Furthermore, the synthesis process is simple, the reaction conditions are mild, the cost is low, the performance has a wide adjustable range, and the application scope is strong, making it highly valuable for industrial promotion.

[0043] (2) The primer polyester resin of the present invention uses terephthalic acid (PTA) and isophthalic acid (IPA) as rigid dicarboxylic acid components. The meta-substitution structure of IPA hinders the close stacking of molecular chains, which can effectively destroy the regularity of molecular chains and obtain a primer polyester resin with appropriate amorphous structure. While having a glass transition temperature of ≥60℃, it can still be completely dissolved in common ink solvents such as esters and ketones, and has excellent hydrolysis resistance.

[0044] (3) The primer polyester resin of the present invention utilizes neopentyl glycol (NPG) and 1,4-cyclohexanediethanol (CHDM) to enhance the rigidity of the molecular chain by using the side methyl structure of NPG and the saturated six-membered ring structure of CHDM, which significantly increases the glass transition temperature of the polyester. At the same time, ethylene glycol (EG), diethylene glycol (DEG), and glycerol (GLY) are introduced to regulate the molecular chain, providing necessary flexible units, increasing the hydroxyl content, and improving the adhesion between the primer polyester resin and the substrate surface. This allows the product to have a glass transition temperature of ≥60℃ while still possessing good flexibility and excellent adhesion to the substrate, enabling it to adapt to the deformation of the substrate during post-processing. By adjusting the ratio of EG, DEG, and GLY, the flexibility of the coating and its adhesion to the substrate can be controlled within a certain range to adapt to different post-processing requirements. The resulting primer polyester resin has a wide range of adjustable properties, strong application expansion, and good industrial promotion value.

[0045] (4) The primer polyester resin of the present invention is constructed by glycerol and trimethylolpropane (TMP), which both have trifunctionality, to form a dual-branching point system, forming a network structure with medium crosslinking density, thereby improving the crosslinking density and hydroxyl functionality, and improving the glass transition temperature, hydrolysis resistance and adhesion to the substrate of the primer polyester resin.

[0046] (5) The polymer polyester resin for the primer of the present invention remains stable under high temperature polycondensation conditions through the compound system of antioxidant and auxiliary antioxidant, without affecting the polymerization reaction rate, effectively inhibiting thermal oxidative degradation during the synthesis process, reducing resin yellowing, and having good compatibility with polyester resin, without migration or precipitation, thus improving the long-term storage stability of the resin, and without gelation or stratification after long-term storage.

[0047] (6) The polymer polyester resin for primer of the present invention does not require the use of special solvents with strong corrosiveness or high toxicity, nor does it require the introduction of sulfonate groups. Through the synergistic regulation of polyacid components and polyol components, the resin performance can be designed, which can meet the differentiated needs of different substrates and different printing processes for primer. The synthesis process is simple to operate, the reaction conditions are mild, the cost is low, the performance is adjustable in a wide range, the application is highly expandable, the product has good stability, no gelation or stratification after long-term storage, it can be used immediately after opening the can, the construction is simple, and there is no limitation on the applicable period. The coating can be dissolved in the solvent again after drying, and the printing waste can be recycled, which meets the requirements of green environmental protection and is suitable for industrial-scale production.

[0132] Performance testing:

[0133] Performance tests were conducted on Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-10, and the specific test methods are as follows:

[0134] The glass transition temperature (Tg) was measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at a heating rate of 10 °C / min.

[0136] Number average molecular weight (Mn) was determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC).

[0137] Solubility was tested by visual inspection after dissolving the prepared polyester resin in 40% by mass in methyl ethyl ketone and ethyl acetate solvents, respectively.

[0138] The surface drying time should be tested according to GB / T 1728-2020 "Determination of Drying Time of Paint Film and Putty Film". For high-speed printing, the surface drying time of the primer at room temperature should be ≤10 minutes.

[0148] As shown in Table 2, the polymeric polyester resins for primers prepared in Examples 1-5 of this invention not only have a glass transition temperature of ≥60℃ and a surface drying time of ≤5 minutes at room temperature, but also exhibit good solubility in common ink solvents, excellent coating mechanical properties, scratch resistance, good flexibility, peel rate of ≤5%, excellent adhesion to the substrate, tensile strength retention rate of ≤85%, and excellent hydrolysis resistance. Furthermore, the synthesis process is simple, the reaction conditions are mild, the cost is low, the performance has a wide range of adjustable properties, and the application scope is strong, making it of good industrial promotion value.

[0149] As shown in Table 3, compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 1, by exchanging the proportions of terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid, increased the amorphous structure in the polyester resin, significantly lowered the glass transition temperature, prolonged the surface drying time, and simultaneously reduced the hydrolysis resistance. Comparative Example 2, with a 1:1 ratio of terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid, showed a slight improvement in overall performance compared to Comparative Example 1, but the amorphous regions in the molecular chain were more susceptible to water molecule attack, resulting in poor solubility and hydrolysis resistance, and still could not compare with Example 1. Comparative Example 3, without the addition of 1,4-cyclohexanediethanol, significantly reduced the crosslinking density of the polyester resin, resulting in a substantial decrease in the glass transition temperature and a longer surface drying time. Comparative Example 4, without the addition of ethylene glycol, reduced the flexible symmetrical segments in the molecular chain, significantly decreasing flexibility. Comparative Example 5, without the addition of diethylene glycol, provided highly flexible chains through ether bonds. The disappearance of the segment increases the rigidity of the molecular chain, resulting in a greater decrease in flexibility compared to Comparative Example 4. Comparative Example 6, without the addition of glycerol, has a lower hydroxyl content and loses the bibranched point system with trimethylolpropane, leading to decreased adhesion, a significant decrease in glass transition temperature, and a longer surface drying time. Comparative Example 7, with the addition of excessive glycerol, suffers from an imbalance in the bibranched point system, resulting in excessive crosslinking density and a significant decrease in flexibility. Comparative Example 8, without the addition of trimethylolpropane, has a lower crosslinking density, lower number-average molecular weight, a significant decrease in glass transition temperature, and easier penetration of water molecules into the ester bond region, resulting in decreased hydrolysis resistance. Comparative Example 9, by introducing sulfonate groups, obtains a high molecular weight, high Tg resin, but with poor flexibility and a significant decrease in hydrolysis resistance. Comparative Example 10, using commercially available resin, has a surface drying time far from meeting the requirements of high-speed printing.

[0150] In summary, this invention provides a primer-grade polymer polyester resin prepared from components including terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, neopentyl glycol, 1,4-cyclohexanediol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, glycerol, trimethylolpropane, a catalyst, an antioxidant, and an auxiliary antioxidant. Through the synergistic design of rigid and flexible monomers and the control of the alkyd molar ratio of polyacids and polyols, this invention effectively improves upon existing primer resins that require the introduction of sulfonate groups, have complex synthesis processes, high raw material costs, are prone to hydrolysis side reactions during production, and whose coating performance still needs improvement. Further improvements are made without introducing sulfonate groups. The coating not only has a glass transition temperature of ≥60℃ and a surface drying time of ≤5 minutes at room temperature, but also exhibits good solubility in common ink solvents. It possesses excellent mechanical properties, scratch resistance, good flexibility, and a peel rate of ≤5%. It also demonstrates excellent adhesion to the substrate, tensile strength retention of over 85%, and superior hydrolysis resistance, allowing for long-term stable storage. Furthermore, the synthesis process is simple, the reaction conditions are mild, the cost is low, the performance has a wide adjustable range, and the application scope is broad, making it highly valuable for industrial promotion.
