Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of industrial anti-corrosion coatings, and in particular to a solvent-free polyurethane coating and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Polyurethane coatings are based on polyurethane resins and are applied to objects to be protected to form a protective coating. They are widely used in the automotive, shipbuilding, and civil engineering industries.

[0003] However, traditional polyurethane coatings contain a large amount of organic solvents. During the preparation and formulation process, because the organic solvents have low vaporization temperatures, they can easily evaporate into the external environment quickly, causing pollution. Furthermore, the reduction in solvents also affects the volume solids content of the coating, thus reducing the film quality.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention discloses a solvent-free polyurethane coating and its preparation method.

[0006] A solvent-free polyurethane coating comprising component A and component B; Component A comprises raw materials in parts by mass: Polyaspartic acid ester resin, 30-50 parts; Hydroxy acrylic resin, 5-15 parts; Non-reactive diluent, 5-30 parts; Anti-settling agent, 0.5-3 parts; Dispersant, 1-5 parts; Defoamer, 0.1 to 1 part; Titanium dioxide, 10-30 parts; Barium sulfate, 5-40 parts; Leveling agent, 0.1~1 part; Coupling agent, 1-5 parts; Component B comprises raw materials in parts by mass: Hardener, 100 parts.

[0007] Furthermore, the mass ratio of component A to component B ranges from 3 to 8:1.

[0008] Furthermore, the polyaspartic acid ester resin has a secondary amine group -NH- equivalent of 290 eq and a viscosity of 900~2000 (mpa.s / 25℃).

[0009] Furthermore, the hydroxyl acrylic resin has a hydroxyl content of 82.5 eq and a solid content of 90%.

[0010] Furthermore, the anti-settling agent is organic bentonite, and the inactive diluent is a hydrocarbon resin.

[0011] Furthermore, the dispersant is a block polymer dispersant containing acidic groups.

[0012] Furthermore, the leveling agent is an acrylate leveling agent.

[0013] Furthermore, the defoamer is an organosilicon defoamer, and the coupling agent is an epoxy-containing silane coupling agent.

[0014] Furthermore, the curing agent is a trimer curing agent.

[0015] A method for preparing a solvent-free polyurethane coating includes the following steps: Step S1, Preparation of Component A: In a dry and clean jacketed reactor, polyaspartic acid ester resin, hydroxyl acrylic resin, and non-reactive diluent are added according to the design ratio and stirred. The stirring speed is controlled at 600~1200 r / min and the stirring time is controlled at 10~30 min. After stirring evenly, anti-settling agent, dispersant, defoamer, titanium dioxide and barium sulfate are added and stirred. The stirring speed is controlled at 1000~1500 r / min and the stirring time is controlled at 30~60 min. After stirring is completed, the material is sent to a sand mill to grind to a fineness of ≤20μm to obtain a slurry. A coupling agent is added to the slurry and the stirring speed is controlled at 500~800 r / min. After mixing evenly, component A is obtained for later use. Step S2, Preparation of Component B: Prepare the curing agent to obtain component B for later use; Step S3, Mixing: Component A and Component B are mixed according to the designed mass ratio to obtain a solvent-free polyurethane coating.

[0016] The advantages of this invention are: 1. Component A uses a combination of polyaspartic acid ester resin and hydroxyl acrylic resin. The polyaspartic acid ester resin itself is aliphatic and does not contain benzene rings and ester bonds that are degraded by ultraviolet light, which is beneficial to improving the structural stability of the resin. The polyurethane resin has excellent elasticity and bending resistance. When combined with a suitable curing agent, it completes the cross-linking and curing reaction to form a stable resin cross-linking structure. It does not require the use of a large amount of organic solvents, reducing VOC emissions during preparation and film formation. The coating has an ultra-high volume solids content and can form a film of 90~150um in one go, which improves the film thickness and quality. Moreover, the large single film thickness eliminates the need for repeated coatings, greatly reducing the difficulty of construction.

[0017] 2. Anti-settling agents adsorb onto the surfaces of titanium dioxide and barium sulfate, increasing interparticle friction and supporting particle suspension, thus preventing the coating from having a clear upper layer and a sedimentary lower layer; dispersants increase the electrostatic repulsion between powder fillers, breaking up the powder agglomerates of titanium dioxide and barium sulfate; defoamers can quickly penetrate into the liquid film of bubbles, disrupting the stability of the liquid film and causing bubbles generated during stirring to break up quickly; leveling agents reduce the tension of the coating and improve its fluidity; coupling agents connect fillers and organic resins, improving the interfacial adhesion between fillers and resins.
