Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an anticorrosive coating composition.

Background Art

[0002] Antirust paint compositions are often applied at the site where structures and the like are manufactured. By applying these paint compositions, a paint film is formed on the surface of the structure, and the erosion of red rust can be prevented by blocking air and water, which are the causes of red rust, a corrosion factor. Generally, in order to improve the barrier properties against air and water, methods such as adding inorganic fillers such as calcium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide to the antirust paint (Patent Document 1), and adding a surfactant having a hydrophobic group such as α-olefin oxide to the antirust paint (Patent Document 2) have been proposed.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, in either of the methods of Patent Documents 1 and 2, the function of blocking air and water has not reached a satisfactory level. Also, when red rust occurs on the surface of the structure, the attack of corrosion of the structure cannot be suppressed, and there is a problem that after a certain period has elapsed since painting, it is necessary to remove the red rust generated on the surface of the structure and repaint. The object of the present invention is to provide a coating composition having excellent anticorrosion properties.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventors have arrived at the present invention. In other words, the present invention relates to a corrosion-preventive coating composition (Y) comprising an ionic liquid (X) consisting of a thiocyanate anion and a cation (B) having a pH of 5 to 9 at 25°C, and a corrosion-preventive coating film formed from the corrosion-preventive coating composition (Y). [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] The corrosion-preventive coating composition (Y) of the present invention provides the following effects. (1) Excellent appearance of the coating film. (2) Excellent corrosion resistance. (3) Excellent resistance to moisture and heat. (4) Excellent rust resistance. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0007] The present invention will be described in detail below.

[0008] The corrosion-preventive coating composition (Y) of the present invention is a corrosion-preventive coating composition comprising an ionic liquid (X) consisting of a thiocyanate anion and a cation (B), having a pH of 5 to 9 at 25°C.

[0009] The cation (B) is not particularly limited, and any known cation that can form an ionic liquid when combined with a thiocyanate anion can be used. Examples of known cations include ammonium cations, primary ammonium cations, secondary ammonium cations, tertiary ammonium cations, quaternary ammonium cations, and amidinium cations. In this invention, an ionic liquid refers to an ionic compound consisting of anions and cations that are in a liquid state at temperatures below 100°C.

[0010] Examples of ammonium cations include unsubstituted ammonium ions.

[0011] Examples of the primary ammonium cation include cations such as methylammonium, ethylammonium, propylammonium, and isopropylammonium.

[0012] Examples of the secondary ammonium cation include cations such as dimethylammonium, diethylammonium, methylethylammonium, methylpropylammonium, and methylisopropylammonium.

[0013] Examples of the tertiary ammonium cation include cations such as trimethylammonium, triethylammonium, dimethylethylammonium, dimethylpropylammonium, methylmorpholinium, and dimethylisopropylammonium.

[0014] Examples of the quaternary ammonium cation include acyclic quaternary ammonium cations (cations represented by the following general formula (1)) and cyclic quaternary ammonium cations (N,N-dimethylmorpholinium cation, N-ethyl-N-methylmorpholinium cation), etc.

[0015] [Chemical formula] [In general formula (1), R1 to R4 each independently represent a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms.]

[0016] Examples of the amidinium cation include cations represented by the following general formula (2), cations represented by the following general formula (3), etc., and the cation represented by the following general formula (2) is preferred.

[0017] [Chemical formula] [In general formula (②), R5 and R7 each independently represent a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and R6, R8, and R9 represent a hydrogen atom or a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms.]

[0018] [Chemical formula] [In General Formula (3), R 10 , R 12 are each independently a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, R 11 is a hydrogen atom or a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, R 13 , R 14 are each independently a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms. Further, some or all of R 10 to R 14 may combine with each other to form a divalent to tetravalent group and form a heterocyclic ring together with a nitrogen atom.]

[0019] Examples of the cations represented by the above General Formula (2) and General Formula (3) include cations such as 1,2,3,4-tetramethylimidazolinium, 1,3,4-trimethyl-2-ethylimidazolinium, 1,3-dimethyl-2,4-diethylimidazolinium, 1,2-dimethyl-3,4-diethylimidazolinium, 1,3-dimethylimidazolium, 1,3-diethylimidazolium, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium, and 1,2,3-trimethylimidazolium.

[0020] From the viewpoint of corrosion protection, the cation (B) is preferably at least one cation selected from the group consisting of amidinium cations and quaternary ammonium cations, more preferably at least one cation selected from the group consisting of the cation represented by General Formula (1) and the cation represented by General Formula (2), still more preferably the cation represented by General Formula (2), and particularly preferably 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium.

[0021] The ionic liquid (X) may contain an inorganic salt such as a pH adjuster, nitrate, or phosphate as a component other than the salt of the thiocyanate anion and the cation (B).

[0022] The ionic liquid (X) has a pH of 5 to 9 at 25°C, preferably 5.5 to 7.5, and more preferably 6.5 to 7.3, from the viewpoint of corrosion protection. The pH of the ionic liquid (X) is particularly important from the viewpoint of corrosion protection for metals; if the pH is less than 5.0, it will cause the metal surface to penetrate, and if the pH is greater than 9.0, the chemical polishing power of the thiocyanate anion will decrease. If the pH is outside the range of 5.0 to 9.0, the composition ratio of acid and amine is either too acidic or too amine-heavy, so the pH can be adjusted by measuring the acid value or amine value of the ionic liquid (X) and adding a basic component or acid component corresponding to the obtained value.

[0023] The pH of the ionic liquid (X) is measured by the glass electrode method in accordance with the method described in JIS Z8802, using an aqueous solution of the ionic liquid (X) adjusted to a concentration of 1% by weight.

[0024] From the viewpoint of corrosion prevention, the halogen content of the ionic liquid (X) is preferably 20 ppm or less, and more preferably 10 ppm or less. Within this halogen content range, metal corrosion caused by halogens can be better prevented. Unless intentionally added, halogens are mainly present in the raw materials used when synthesizing anions, and when halogenated salts are used as cations (B). If the halogen content is higher than 20 ppm, the halogen content can be reduced by dissolving it in acetone or the like and then passing it through a column packed with alumina, for example.

[0025] The halogen content of an ionic liquid (X) can be determined by diluting the ionic liquid (X) 100 to 10 times with ultrapure water, performing ion chromatography under the following conditions to determine the content of various halogens, and then calculating the sum of the obtained halogen content. Equipment: Ion chromatograph (Thermo SCIENTIFIC: Dionex ICS-5000+DC) Column: IonPack AS-22 + IonPack AG-22 Suppressor: ARES 4mm Solvent: Mixed solution of 4.5 mM sodium carbonate and 1 mM sodium bicarbonate. Standard sample: Anion mixed standard solution IV (Kanto Chemical) Measurement temperature: 35℃ Flow rate: 1.2mL / min

[0026] From the viewpoint of corrosion resistance, it is preferable that the total amine value of the ionic liquid (X) is 2 mg KOH / g or less. If the total amine value is greater than 2 mg KOH / g, the amine value can be reduced by adding an acid component equal to the acid value corresponding to the value.

[0027] The total amine number of the ionic liquid (X) was measured according to the method of ASTM D2074.

[0028] From the viewpoint of corrosion prevention, the acid value of the ionic liquid (X) is preferably 30 mg KOH / g or less. A value of 30 mg KOH / g or less suppresses the reduction in corrosion resistance due to metal corrosion caused by the acid. If the acid value exceeds 30 mg KOH / g, the acid value can be lowered by adding an amine or basic component equal to the amine value corresponding to the value.

[0029] The acid value of ionic liquid (X) can be adjusted by adding a basic compound. The acid value of ionic liquid (X) is measured by methods such as JIS K 0070.

[0030] The ionic liquid (X) may contain water, but from the viewpoint of corrosion resistance, the water content relative to the ionic liquid (X) is preferably 2.0% by weight or less, and more preferably 1.0% by weight or less. If the water content exceeds 2.0% by weight, the water may adhere to the metal surface to be protected, causing hydroxide formation and potentially reducing corrosion resistance.

[0031] The water content can be evaluated using the Karl Fischer titration method. The measurement is performed by volumetric method, and methanol can be used as the solvent. Approximately 50 ml of methanol is placed in the titrator, and the methanol is made anhydrous with Karl Fischer titration solution. Then, the sample to be measured is quickly added to the titrator using the reduction method, and the amount of titration required to make it anhydrous again with Karl Fischer titration solution, the mass of the sample to be measured, and the titer of the Karl Fischer titration solution are used to calculate the water content using the following formula. Water content (%)=(A×f) / (B×10) A: Volume (ml) of Karl Fischer titration solution used for titrating the sample. f: Titer of Karl Fischer titration solution (mgH2O / ml) B: Sample mass (g)

[0032] In this invention, the ionic liquid (X) is a liquid at 25°C. Because the ionic liquid (X) is a liquid, dilution with water or organic solvents, and drying with water or other substances after rust prevention / corrosion prevention treatment are unnecessary. The fact that it is a liquid at 25°C can be confirmed by visually observing its fluidity.

[0033] In the present invention, the method for producing the ionic liquid (X) is not particularly limited, but examples include the method described in J.Am.Chem.Soc., 69, 2269 (1947), U.S. Patent No. 4,892,944, etc. (a method of quaternizing a tertiary amine with a carbonate ester and then exchanging the salt). A preferred manufacturing method when cation (A) is a quaternary ammonium cation is exemplified below.

[0034] Manufacturing method A tertiary amine (the tertiary amine before the formation of a quaternary ammonium cation) is reacted with an equivalent or greater amount (e.g., 1.1 to 5.0 equivalents) of a dialkyl carbonate ester (e.g., dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate) in or without a solvent (e.g., methanol) at a reaction temperature of 80 to 200°C, preferably 100 to 150°C, to form a quaternary ammonium salt. Then, an acid that forms the aforementioned anion is added (0.9 to 1.0 equivalents based on the equivalent amount of quaternary ammonium), and the mixture is stirred at 10 to 50°C for 1 hour to exchange the salt. The solvent is removed by distillation under reduced pressure at 80 to 120°C to obtain the desired quaternary ammonium salt. Here, as a tertiary amine, if the target quaternary ammonium cation is the amidinium cation mentioned above, examples include 1,2-dimethylimidazole, 1-methylimidazole, and 1-ethylimidazole.

Unless intentionally added, halogens are mainly present in the raw materials used when synthesizing anions in ionic liquids (X), and when halogenated salts are used as cations (B).

[0073] The corrosion-resistant coating of the present invention is a corrosion-resistant coating formed from the above-mentioned corrosion-resistant coating composition (Y). Similar to the case in which conventional corrosion-resistant paints are formed from conventional corrosion-resistant coating compositions, the corrosion-resistant coating of the present invention is formed by uniformly applying the corrosion-resistant coating composition of the present invention to an object.

[0074] The thickness of the anticorrosive coating of the present invention is not particularly limited and can be set to an appropriate range depending on the characteristics of the anticorrosive coating of the present invention (e.g., coating wear rate) and application (type of substrate, period of use, etc.). However, for example, a thickness of 30 to 10,000 μm is preferred immediately after formation. [Examples]

Next, a solution of 74.5 parts (0.98 mol) of ammonium thiocyanate dissolved in 150 parts of methanol was added. The mixture was then stirred at 90°C for 4 hours to decompose and remove ammonium carbonate. Next, the mixture was heated to 110°C under a reduced pressure of 1.0 kPa while passing nitrogen gas at a rate of 0.1 mL / min to remove the methanol solvent and obtain an ionic liquid (X-4) consisting of a thiocyanate anion and a dioctyldimethylammonium cation.

[0081] <Comparative Manufacturing Example 2> A solution of 135 parts (1.5 mol) of dimethyl carbonate dissolved in 192 parts of methanol was added to a stirred autoclave, and 96 parts (1.0 mol) of 1-ethylimidazole was added dropwise using a dropper funnel. The mixture was then stirred at 130°C for 40 hours to obtain 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium methyl carbonate salt. Next, 182 parts of a 60 wt% aqueous solution of ammonium thioglycolate, prepared by the same synthesis method as in Comparative Example 1, were added. The mixture was then stirred at 90°C for 4 hours to decompose and remove ammonium carbonate. The mixture was then heated to 110°C under a reduced pressure of 1.0 kPa while passing nitrogen gas at a rate of 0.1 mL / min to remove the solvent dimethyl carbonate, methanol, and ion-exchanged water, obtaining an ionic liquid (ratio X-2) consisting of thioglycolate anion and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium cation.

[0083] <Comparative Manufacturing Example 4> An ionic liquid (ratio X-4) consisting of a thiocyanate anion and a 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium cation was obtained by the same method as in Production Example 1, except that the amount of ammonium thiocyanate was changed to 73 parts (0.96 molar parts).

[0084] <Comparative Manufacturing Example 5> For comparison, we used alkenyl succinic acid [DSA, manufactured by Sanyo Chemical Industries, Ltd.], a commercially available rust inhibitor component, as is, and designated it as (Ratio X-5).

[0091] (1) Evaluation of the appearance of the coating film A stainless steel plate (material: SUS304, 1mm thick x 60mm long x 80mm wide) was immersed in 10% hydrochloric acid in a PP tray for 1 minute. After wiping the surface with paper, it was left to stand for 1 week in a constant temperature and humidity chamber at 40°C and 85% humidity to create a test piece with red rust. The prepared test specimens were coated with the anticorrosive coating compositions described in Examples 1-11 and Comparative Examples 1-8 using a squeegee to achieve a coating thickness of 190-210 μm, and then dried overnight. The appearance of the coating after drying was visually evaluated with ○ and × according to the following criteria. ○: No exposure of the test specimen or localized thickness variations are observed in the coating. ×: The coating shows exposure of the test specimen and localized unevenness in thickness.

[0092] (2) Corrosion resistance test A stainless steel plate (material: SUS304, 1mm thick x 60mm long x 80mm wide) was immersed in 10% hydrochloric acid in a PP tray for 1 minute.

After applying the corrosion-preventive coating compositions described in Examples 1-11 and Comparative Examples 1-8 to the prepared test specimens, they were left to stand for one month in a constant temperature and humidity chamber at 30°C and 50% humidity. The coated surface was then removed with acetone solvent, and the degree of red rust removal was visually evaluated on the following four scales. ◎: Red rust can be restored to black rust and / or iron at a rate of 95% or more relative to the area. ○: Red rust has a recovery rate of 80% or more but less than 95% of the area to black rust and / or iron. △: Red rust has a recovery rate of 60% or more but less than 80% of the area to black rust and / or iron. ×: Red rust has a recovery rate of less than 60% of the area to black rust and / or iron. The area was measured using an Olympus DSX500 digital microscope, and the restoration rate was calculated as (area of ​​rust before testing - area of ​​rust after testing) / (area of ​​rust before testing) × 100 (%).

[0093] (3) Corrosion resistance test after moisture and heat resistance test A stainless steel plate (material: SUS304, 1mm thick x 60mm long x 80mm wide) was immersed in 10% hydrochloric acid in a PP tray for 1 minute. After wiping the surface with paper, it was left to stand for 1 week in a constant temperature and humidity chamber at 40°C and 85% humidity to create a test piece with red rust. After applying the corrosion-preventive coating compositions described in Examples 1-11 and Comparative Examples 1-8 to the prepared test specimens, they were left to stand for 1 day in a constant temperature and humidity chamber at 30°C and 50% humidity, and then left to stand for 1000 hours in a constant temperature and humidity chamber at 50°C and 85% humidity.

[0094] (4) Rust prevention test A stainless steel plate (material: SUS304, 1mm thick x 60mm long x 80mm wide) was polished in accordance with JIS K2246:2018 to create a test specimen. After applying the corrosion-preventive coating compositions described in Examples 1-11 and Comparative Examples 1-8 to the prepared test specimens, they were left to stand for one month in a constant temperature and humidity chamber at 30°C and 50% humidity. The coated surface was then removed with acetone solvent, and the degree of red rust formation was visually evaluated on the following four scales. ◎: Red rust is less than 5% of the area. ○: Red rust covers 5% or more but less than 20% of the area. △: Red rust covers 20% to less than 40% of the area. ×: Red rust covers more than 40% of the area.

[0095] The results in Table 2 show that the composition of the present invention exhibits both a corrosion-preventive effect on SUS plates that have developed red rust and an effect as a rust inhibitor. [Industrial applicability]

[0096] The corrosion-resistant coating composition of the present invention functions not only as a corrosion-resistant paint but also as a rust-preventive paint. Furthermore, because it contains an ionic liquid, it has high conductivity and can be used not only as a chemical polishing agent but also as an electrolytic polishing agent. It is also useful as a rust inhibitor and as a primer after various polishing processes.
