DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] <Raw materials for producing polyurea resin compositions> The raw material for producing the polyurea resin composition of the present invention contains a polyisocyanate compound (A) and a polyamine compound (B).

[0013] <Polyisocyanate compound (A)> The polyisocyanate compound (A) is a compound having two or more isocyanate groups in one molecule, and may be in the form of a monomer, oligomer, or polymer, and may be modified with a chain extender such as a polyol component. Examples of the derivative of the isocyanate compound in the present invention include an isocyanate-terminated prepolymer obtained by reacting an isocyanate compound with a polyamine or a polyol, an allophanate-modified product, a urea-modified product, a carbodiimide-modified product, a biuret-modified product, a uretdione-modified product, an isocyanurate-modified product, and a water-dispersible modified product.

[0014] The polyisocyanate compound (A) in the present invention must contain a carbodiimide-modified aromatic polyisocyanate compound or a derivative thereof (A'). The content of the carbodiimide-modified aromatic polyisocyanate compound or a derivative thereof (A') can be adjusted as desired depending on the desired physical properties, but it is more preferably 30% by mass or more, even more preferably 50% by mass or more, and particularly preferably 60% by mass or more, based on the polyisocyanate compound (A). When the polyisocyanate compound (A) contains a carbodiimide-modified aromatic polyisocyanate compound or a derivative thereof (A'), the resulting polyurea resin composition has a tack-free time (curing time) suitable for hand application, and further, when formed into a coating film, it can achieve both high tensile strength and elongation at break, as well as high resistance to acid rain and temperature change.

[0015] The isocyanate group content of the carbodiimide-modified aromatic polyisocyanate compound or its derivative (A') is preferably 15 to 40 NCO% (mass%), more preferably 17 to 38 NCO% (mass%), and particularly preferably 20 to 35 NCO% (mass%). If the isocyanate group content exceeds 40 NCO%, the elongation at break of the resulting coating film may deteriorate, while if the isocyanate group content is less than 15 NCO%, the tensile strength of the resulting coating film may decrease.

[0016] Known carbodiimide-modified aromatic polyisocyanate compounds can be used, and examples thereof include carbodiimide-modified compounds such as 2,4-toluene diisocyanate (TDI), 2,6-toluene diisocyanate, diphenylmethane diisocyanate, xylylene diisocyanate, 1,5-naphthalene diisocyanate, and 1,4-phenylene diisocyanate.

[0017] Among these, a carbodiimide-modified product of diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) is preferred. By using a carbodiimide-modified product of diphenylmethane diisocyanate as the carbodiimide-modified aromatic polyisocyanate compound (A'), it is possible to achieve even higher tensile strength and higher elongation at break.

[0018] The polyisocyanate compound (A) in the present invention must contain an aliphatic polyisocyanate or a derivative thereof (A"). When the polyisocyanate compound (A) contains an aliphatic polyisocyanate or a derivative thereof (A"'), the ultraviolet resistance and temperature change resistance of the coating film formed therefrom are improved, and a better tack-free time (curing time) can be achieved.

[0019] The content of the aliphatic polyisocyanate or its derivative (A") can be adjusted as desired depending on the desired physical properties, but is preferably 1 to 70 mass % relative to the polyisocyanate compound (A), more preferably 3 to 50 mass %, and particularly preferably 5 to 40 mass %. If the content is less than 1%, the effect of adding the aliphatic polyisocyanate or its derivative (A") may not be fully exerted, and if the content exceeds 70 mass %, the tensile strength and elongation at break may decrease.

[0020] Examples of aliphatic polyisocyanate compounds include 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate, 1,4-tetramethylene diisocyanate, 1,5-pentamethylene diisocyanate, 2-methylpentane-1,5-diisocyanate, 3-methylpentane-1,5-diisocyanate, 2,4,4- or 2,2,4-trimethylhexamethylene diisocyanate, 2,6-diisocyanate methyl caproate, lysine diisocyanate, trioxyethylene diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, Examples of suitable isocyanates include methyl isocyanate, 1,4-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane, 4,4'-methylenebis(cyclohexyl isocyanate), methyl-2,4-cyclohexane diisocyanate, methyl-2,6-cyclohexane diisocyanate, 1,3-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane, 1,3-bis(isocyanatoethyl)cyclohexane, 1,4-bis(isocyanatoethyl)cyclohexane, and 2,5- or 2,6-bis(isocyanatomethyl)norbornane (NBDI).

[0021] Among these, 1,5-pentamethylene diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, and 4,4'-methylenebis(cyclohexylisocyanate) are preferred, with 1,5-pentamethylene diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, and isophorone diisocyanate being more preferred, and hexamethylene diisocyanate being particularly preferred. When the polyisocyanate compound (A) contains these aliphatic isocyanates or their derivatives, the resulting coating film has improved properties such as resistance to external environments. Furthermore, aliphatic isocyanate derivatives can be obtained by known methods.

[0022] The isocyanate group content of the aliphatic polyisocyanate or its derivative (A") is preferably 15 to 30 NCO% (mass%), more preferably 7 to 28 NCO% (mass%), and particularly preferably 10 to 25 NCO% (mass%). If the isocyanate group content exceeds 30 NCO%, the elongation at break of the resulting coating film may deteriorate, while if the isocyanate group content is less than 5 NCO%, the tensile strength of the resulting coating film may decrease or the ultraviolet resistance may deteriorate.

[0023] The polyisocyanate compound (A) may contain, in addition to the carbodiimide-modified aromatic polyisocyanate compound (A') and the aliphatic polyisocyanate compound and its derivative (A"), other polyisocyanate compounds (A'") depending on the desired performance such as physical properties and curing time. Examples of other polyisocyanate compounds (A'") include 2,4-toluene diisocyanate, 2,6-toluene diisocyanate, diphenylmethane diisocyanate, xylylene diisocyanate, and 1,5-naphthylene diisocyanate.

[0024] The content of the other polyisocyanate compound (A'") is not particularly limited and can be added according to the desired performance, but is preferably 30% by mass or less, more preferably 25% by mass or less, and particularly preferably 20% by mass or less, relative to the polyisocyanate compound (A). If it exceeds 30% by mass, the resulting coating film may be inferior in elongation at break and abrasion resistance.

[0025] The isocyanate group content in the polyisocyanate compound (A) is preferably 15 to 30 NCO% (mass%), more preferably 18 to 30 NCO% (mass%), even more preferably 20 to 30 NCO% (mass%), and particularly preferably 22 to 30 NCO% (mass%). A polyurea resin composition containing a polyisocyanate compound (A) with an isocyanate group content higher than the above range may not achieve a good tack-free time, and if the isocyanate group content in the polyisocyanate compound (A) is lower than the above range, the resulting coating film may have poor tensile strength.

[0026] <Polyamine compound (B)> The polyamine compound (B) in the present invention contains a polyamine compound (B') (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a benzoate-based polyamine compound (B')) represented by the following general formula (I): [(NH2) m -C6H 5-m -COA-] n R (I) (In formula (I), R represents an n-valent polyalkylene, polyalkylene ether, or polyalkylene polyester having an average molecular weight of 80 or more, A represents an oxygen atom or an imino group, provided that the polyalkylene may contain an unsaturated bond, m represents an integer of 1 to 3, and n represents an integer of 2 to 4.)

[0027] By including polyamine compound (B') in polyamine compound (B), the polyamine compound (B) has a tack-free time (curing time) suitable for hand application, and furthermore, when formed into a coating film, it is possible to achieve high tensile strength, elongation at break, resistance to external environments, and abrasion resistance.

[0028] The content of polyamine compound (B') is preferably 30% by mass or more, more preferably 50% by mass or more, and even more preferably 60% by mass or more, based on the total amount of polyamine compound (B). If it is less than 30% by mass, the resulting coating film may be inferior in breaking elongation and abrasion resistance, or a satisfactory curing time may not be achieved.

[0029] Among the above benzoate-based polyamine compounds (B'), examples of commercially available products in which m = 1, n = 2, and R is a polyether include "Elasmer 1000P" (manufactured by Kumiai Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., amine value 84 g KOH / g), "Elasmer 650P" (manufactured by Kumiai Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., amine value 126 g KOH / g), "Elasmer 250P" (manufactured by Kumiai Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., amine value 221 g KOH / g), "VERSALINK P-1000" (manufactured by Air Products Japan Co., Ltd., amine value 80 to 90), and "Porea SL-100A" (manufactured by Kumiai Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.).

[0030] The polyamine compound (B) of the present invention may contain a polyamine compound (B'') other than the benzoate-based polyamine compound (B') for the purpose of adjusting the coating film properties and curing time. Examples of the other amine compound (B") include aromatic amine compounds such as 4,4'-diamino-3,3'-dichlorodiphenylmethane, 4,4'-methylenebis(N-sec-butylaniline), N,N'-di-sec-butyl-p-phenylenediamine, and diethyltoluenediamine; polyether amine compounds such as O,O'-bis(2-aminopropyl)propylene glycol; and aliphatic amine compounds such as hexamethylenediamine, nonanediamine, 4,4'-methylenebis(N-sec-butylcyclohexanamine), and reaction products of epoxy compounds and primary amines. The other amine compound (B") can be either a primary amine or a secondary amine.

[0031] The content of the other amine compound (B") is preferably 0 to 50 parts by mass, more preferably 0 to 40 parts by mass, and particularly preferably 0 to 30 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the total of the other amine compound (B") and the benzoate-based polyamine compound (B). If the content of the other amine compound (B") exceeds 50 parts by mass, the polyurea resin composition may have poor elongation at break.

[0032] <Other ingredients (C)> The raw materials for producing the polyurea resin composition of the present invention may contain a compound or resin having a functional group other than an amino group that reacts with an isocyanate group, as long as the effects of the invention are not impaired. The type of liquid resin is not particularly limited, but examples include polyol compounds, epoxy compounds, polyester compounds, polyolefin compounds, polyamide compounds, polycarboxylic acid compounds, methacrylic compounds, vinyl ester compounds, polyurethane compounds, and resins thereof. Among these, polyol resins are preferred in order to achieve high elongation at break.

[0033] The molecular weight of the other component (C) is not particularly limited, and any of a monomer, oligomer, and polymer can be used.

If the content of the other component (C) exceeds 20% by mass, the polyurea resin composition may have poor tensile strength.

[0035] In the raw materials for producing the polyurea resin composition of the present invention, the equivalent ratio (NCO / NH2) of the isocyanate groups of the polyisocyanate compound (A) to the amino groups of the polyamine compound (B) is preferably 0.6 to 1.5, more preferably 0.8 to 1.2, even more preferably 0.9 to 1.1, and particularly preferably 0.95 to 1.05. Furthermore, when other component (C) is contained, the total amount of amino groups of the polyamine compound (B) and the active hydrogen groups of other component (C) is used instead of the amount of amino groups of the polyamine compound (B). If the equivalent ratio is less than 0.6 or more than 1.5, a cured product such as a coating film may not be obtained, or the coating film may have poor physical properties such as tensile strength.

[0036] The raw materials for producing the polyurea resin composition of the present invention may contain a catalyst in order to improve the physical properties of the resulting coating film or to adjust the curing time or temperature. Specific examples of the catalyst include tertiary amines such as triethylamine, tributylamine, triethylenediamine, 2-dimethylaminoethyl ether, diazabicycloundecene, and N-methylmorpholine; metal-based catalysts such as dibutyltin diacetate, dibutyltin laurate, 3-diacetoxytetrabutylstannoxane, tin octenoate, tin chloride, tin butyl trichloride, bismuth trichloride, bismuth octenoate, tetrakis(2-ethylhexyl)titanate, tetrabutoxytitanium, and metal salts of acetoacetic acid; quaternary ammonium salts such as tetramethylammonium chloride; and acidic compounds such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, succinic acid, and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid.

Examples of additives include basic inorganic compounds, pH adjusters, metal oxide fine particles, tackifiers, waxes, UV absorbers, surface conditioners, antifoaming agents, thixotropy-imparting agents, colorants, dispersants, fillers, and diluents. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. They may also be mixed in advance with the polyisocyanate compound (A) and the polyamine compound (B). The amount of the additive to be added can be determined appropriately depending on the purpose.

[0038] Examples of basic inorganic compounds include hydroxides, oxides, and (hydrogen)carbonates of alkali metals or alkaline earth metals, such as calcium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, calcium oxide, calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, and sodium hydrogencarbonate. Among these, hydroxides of alkali metals or alkaline earth metals are more preferred from the viewpoint of their influence on stability and viscosity.

[0039] Examples of pH adjusters include organic acid salts of alkali metals or alkaline earth metals, such as calcium acetate, sodium acetate, potassium acetate, calcium formate, sodium formate, potassium formate, calcium propionate, sodium propionate, and potassium propionate.

[0045] Examples of antifoaming agents include mineral oil-based, amide-based, metal soap-based, silicone-based, higher alcohols and derivatives thereof, fatty acid derivatives, polyolefin-based, etc. Among these, polyolefin-based agents are more preferred from the viewpoints of antifoaming properties and chemical resistance.

[0046] Examples of the thixotropy-imparting agent include acrylic polymers, organic urea compounds and modified compounds thereof, fumed silica, bentonite, organic clay, layered silicates, etc. Among these, from the viewpoint of the effect relative to the amount added, organic urea compounds and modified compounds thereof are more preferred.

[0047] Any of inorganic pigments, organic pigments, and dyes can be used as colorants. Examples of inorganic pigments include red clay, yellow clay, green clay, graphite, Prussian blue, zinc oxide, cobalt blue, viridian, and titanium white.

These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0051] The content of the organic solvent in the raw materials for producing the polyurea resin composition is preferably 10% by mass or less. If the content of the organic solvent exceeds 10% by mass, not only may the physical properties of the resulting coating film be reduced, but also the inherent advantage of the polyurea resin, that is, the ability to be produced without a solvent, may be lost.

[0052] The raw material for producing the polyurea resin composition of the present invention is prepared by mixing all components, including the polyisocyanate compound (A) and the polyamine compound (B), under solvent-free conditions, and immediately after mixing (for example, after 30 seconds), the viscosity at 25°C is preferably 100 to 500,000 mPa·s, more preferably 500 to 300,000 mPa·s, and particularly preferably 1,000 to 200,000 mPa·s. If the viscosity is less than 100 mPa·s, it may be difficult to obtain a coating film with sufficient thickness, while if it exceeds 500,000 mPa·s, it may be difficult to remove air bubbles from the resulting resin composition, making the coating process difficult.

[0053] The raw material for producing the polyurea resin composition of the present invention is preferably tack-dry in 15 minutes or more, more preferably 30 minutes or more, even more preferably 45 minutes or more, and particularly preferably 60 minutes or more after mixing all components including the polyisocyanate compound (A) and the polyamine compound (B) under solvent-free conditions. If the tack-dry time is less than 15 minutes, the coating workability may be poor.

[0054] The polyurea resin composition of the present invention is obtained from the raw materials for producing the polyurea resin composition of the present invention. The method for obtaining the polyurea resin composition of the present invention is not particularly limited, and any mixing method can be used, as long as it involves mixing all components including the polyisocyanate compound (A) and the polyamine compound (B). Furthermore, the mixing conditions (mixing temperature and mixing time) are not particularly limited, and can be appropriately selected depending on the physical properties of the resulting resin composition.

[0055] The coating material of the present invention contains the polyurea resin composition of the present invention. The coating film of the present invention is formed by applying the coating material of the present invention.

[0056] Because the raw materials for producing the polyurea resin composition of the present invention have a sufficient dry-to-touch time, known methods can be used to apply the coating. The coating method can be selected appropriately depending on the desired thickness and the shape of the substrate, but examples include immersion coating (dipping, dipping coating), wire bar coating, Baker-type applicator coating, gravure roll coating, potting, brush coating, roller coating, and trowel coating. It is also possible to form a three-dimensional cured product using a 3D printer or the like.

[0057] The thickness of the coating film can be selected appropriately depending on the desired physical properties, the material of the article or substrate to be coated, etc., but from the standpoint of economy and physical properties, it is usually preferably 10 to 10,000 μm, more preferably 50 to 8,000 μm, and even more preferably 100 to 5,000 μm. The thickness can be obtained by applying the coating in one go or by applying the coating in multiple steps.

[0058] The coating film of the present invention has good tensile strength, elongation at break, abrasion resistance, and resistance to external environments, and can therefore be suitably used as a layer for protecting substrates or preventing the penetration of specific substances. Specific examples include coated floors, linings, roof waterproofing, exterior wall coatings, bridge deck waterproofing, waterproof paints, anticorrosion paints, protective paints for steel pipes, metal pipes, tank interiors and exteriors, and wind power generation components, reinforcement and repair of buildings, protection of plastic and metal parts, and reservoirs. In particular, because of its excellent abrasion resistance, it can be suitably used as a paint for substrates or articles that are subject to high-speed collisions with fine particles, such as rotating blades in wind power generation systems.

[0059] The coating film of the present invention can also be combined with flat bodies such as fibers (including both long and short fibers), nonwoven fabrics (including both long and short fibers), cloth, wire netting, mesh, and punched metal. Any known method can be used for the composite formation.
