Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] When the coating film becomes brittle due to ultraviolet degradation or the like, the functions of the coating are lost. For example, a film that has undergone a chemical reaction or oxidation by ultraviolet rays tends to become hydrophilic, and the effect of preventing rainwater from entering the concrete interior becomes weak. When maintenance work such as recoating the coating agent is required, the working cost increases significantly, so the durability of the hydrophobic coating is required. The present invention provides a coating composition capable of obtaining a film having excellent water repellency and excellent ultraviolet resistance, a method for producing the coating composition, a coating composition, a hydraulic composition, a method for producing the hydraulic composition, and a method for forming a coating layer.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] In one embodiment, the present invention provides a coating composition comprising (A) polyester, (B) a plasticizer, and (C) water, wherein component (A) comprises a polycondensate of polyethylene terephthalate, an alcohol, and a carboxylic acid compound.

[0007] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the present invention provides a method for producing a coating composition, comprising mixing (A) a polyester containing a polycondensate of polyethylene terephthalate, an alcohol, and a carboxylic acid compound, (B) a plasticizer, and (C) water.

[0008] In another embodiment, the present invention provides a coating composition formed from a coating composition comprising (A) a polyester containing a polycondensate of polyethylene terephthalate, an alcohol, and a carboxylic acid compound, (B) a plasticizer, and (C) water.

[0009] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the present invention provides a hydraulic composition comprising a hardened body of a hydraulic composition and a coating layer provided on the surface of the hydraulic composition, wherein the coating layer is formed from a coating composition comprising (A) a polyester containing a polycondensate of polyethylene terephthalate, an alcohol, and a carboxylic acid compound, (B) a plasticizer, and (C) water.

[0010] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the present invention provides a method for producing a hydraulic composition, which involves applying a coating composition comprising (A) a polyester containing a polycondensate of polyethylene terephthalate, an alcohol, and a carboxylic acid compound, (B) a plasticizer, and (C) water to the surface of a mixture of hydraulic powder and water.

[0011] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the present invention provides a method for forming a coating layer, which includes applying a coating composition comprising (A) a polyester containing a polycondensate of polyethylene terephthalate, an alcohol, and a carboxylic acid compound, (B) a plasticizer, and (C) water to one or more surfaces selected from hydraulic composition surfaces and metal surfaces. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] The present invention provides a coating composition that has excellent water repellency and yields a film with excellent ultraviolet resistance, a method for manufacturing the coating composition, the coating composition, a hydraulic composition, a method for manufacturing the hydraulic composition, and a method for forming a coating layer. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0013] The mechanism by which the coating composition of the present invention forms a coating with excellent water repellency and excellent UV resistance is not clear, but it is presumed to be as follows. It is believed that the polyester component (A), containing a polycondensate of polyethylene terephthalate, alcohol, and a carboxylic acid compound, can form a coating with excellent water repellency and UV resistance. This is presumed to be because the polyethylene terephthalate chains are not completely decomposed and exist within the polyester molecule as units of a certain length, resulting in a block polymer-like structure consisting of hydrophilic parts derived from polyethylene terephthalate and other hydrophobic parts. The hydrophilic parts then accumulate at the boundary between the coating surface and the surface of the object (e.g., a concrete surface), and by strongly interacting with the hydrophilic interface of the object, the adhesion of the coating film is improved. On the other hand, it is presumed that the hydrophobic parts accumulate at the boundary between the coating surface and the air, causing the coating to exhibit hydrophobicity. Polyethylene terephthalate is inherently a highly polar polyester and is more hydrophilic. Surprisingly, however, in this invention, it is presumed to contribute to improving the hydrophobicity of the coating film. Furthermore, it is presumed that the molecular structure, such as the block polymer described above, contributes to improving the UV resistance of the coating. These effects enable the coating composition of the present invention to provide a hydrophobic coating with high water repellency and excellent UV resistance, thereby extending the lifespan of the coating and reducing maintenance work. Furthermore, the coating composition, method for manufacturing the coating composition, coating composition, hydraulic composition, method for manufacturing the hydraulic composition, and method for forming a coating layer of the present invention are not limited to the above-described mechanism of action.

[0014] [Coating composition] In exemplary embodiments, the coating composition of the present invention comprises (A) polyester [hereinafter referred to as component (A)], (B) plasticizer [hereinafter referred to as component (B)], and (C) water [hereinafter referred to as component (C)], wherein component (A) comprises a polycondensate of polyethylene terephthalate, alcohol, and a carboxylic acid compound.

[0040] (A) The weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of component can be determined by measuring the molecular weight distribution using gel permeation chromatography (GPC). (i) Preparation of sample solution Dissolve component (A) in tetrahydrofuran at 25°C to a concentration of 0.5 g / 100 mL. Then, filter this solution using a fluoropolymer filter with a pore size of 0.2 μm (Toyo Roshi Co., Ltd., "DISMIC-25JP") to remove undissolved components and obtain the sample solution.

The weight-average molecular weight of the sample is calculated based on a pre-prepared calibration curve. The calibration curve includes several types of monodisperse polystyrene "A-500" (5.0 × 10⁻¹⁰). 2 ), "A-1000" (1.01 x 10 3 ), "A-2500" (2.63 x 10 3 ), "A-5000" (5.97 x 10 3 ), "F-1" (1.02×10 3 ), "F-2" (1.81×10 4 ), "F-4" (3.97×10 4 ), "F-10" (9.64×10 4 ), "F-20" (1.90×10 5 ), "F-40" (4.27×10 5 ), "F-80" (7.06×10 5 ), "F-128" (1.09×10 6 The above samples were prepared using Tosoh Corporation's standard samples. Measuring device: "HLC-8220CPC" (manufactured by Tosoh Corporation) Analysis columns: "GMHXL" + "G3000HXL" (manufactured by Tosoh Corporation)

[0041] The softening point, acid value, hydroxyl value, and glass transition point of the polyester of component (A) can be measured by the method described in the examples.

Differential scanning calorimetry is performed using the following method. If the heat generation amount in differential scanning calorimetry is "-", it indicates that the absolute value is the heat absorption amount. The polyethylene terephthalate raw material for component (A) exhibits a large exothermic peak in the range of 240°C to 260°C. Therefore, the fact that the exothermic amount of component (A) in differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements in the 240°C to 260°C range is within this range suggests that the polyethylene terephthalate raw material reacted well with the alcohol and carboxylic acid compounds and was introduced into the polyester backbone.

[0043] (Differential scanning calorimetry) (A) Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurement of component (A) is performed using a differential scanning calorimeter "Q-100" (manufactured by TA Instruments Japan Co., Ltd.). 0.01 to 0.02 g of the sample is weighed into an aluminum pan and heated to 300°C at a heating rate of 10°C / min. A baseline is drawn over the exothermic behavior portion, including the maximum peak temperature, and its area is defined as the amount of heat released. Similarly, a baseline is drawn over the endothermic behavior portion, including the maximum peak temperature, and its area is defined as the amount of heat absorbed.

[0044] (Method of manufacturing polyester) The method for producing the polyester of component (A) is not particularly limited, but for example, it can be produced by polycondensation of polyethylene terephthalate, the alcohol, and the carboxylic acid compound, or by polycondensation of polyethylene terephthalate, the alcohol containing an alkylene oxide adduct of bisphenol A, and the carboxylic acid compound. The temperature of the polycondensation reaction is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of reactivity and monomer decomposition temperature, it is preferably 210°C to 260°C.

[0045] Polyethylene terephthalate is a crystalline resin, and due to strong intermolecular interactions, it is difficult to form a uniform aqueous dispersion. It tends to aggregate and precipitate due to intermolecular interactions, making it difficult to form a uniform film on the target surface. In the polyester manufacturing method of the present invention, it is preferable to react polyethylene terephthalate and the monomer component simultaneously, from the viewpoint of forming a uniform film on the target surface. By reacting polyethylene terephthalate and the monomer component simultaneously, the polyethylene terephthalate chain is decomposed and the interaction is weakened, allowing a uniform film to be formed on the target surface.

[0047] By adding polyethylene terephthalate during the polycondensation reaction between the alcohol and the carboxylic acid compound, a transesterification reaction occurs, and a polyester can be obtained in which the constituent units of polyethylene terephthalate are incorporated into the constituent units derived from the alcohol and the constituent units derived from the carboxylic acid compound. Polyethylene terephthalate may be present from the start of the polycondensation reaction or added to the reaction system during the polycondensation reaction. From the viewpoint of further improving the stability of the coating film composition and the uniformity of the hydrophobic coating film, the timing of adding polyethylene terephthalate is preferably when the reaction rate between the alcohol and the carboxylic acid compound is 10% or less, and more preferably when it is 5% or less.

[0127] [Table 2]

[0128] <Method for manufacturing the coating composition> Using the coating compositions listed in Table 2, coating compositions were prepared, and their hydrophobicity and UV resistance were evaluated. Specifically, 5.0 g of the coating composition shown in Table 2 was placed in an aluminum cup and dried at 105°C for 2 hours to prepare a uniform coating composition.

[0129] <UV resistance evaluation> (1) Test method The obtained coating composition was placed in an accelerated weathering test apparatus (Super Xenon Weather Meter SX75, manufactured by Suga Test Instruments Co., Ltd.) and tested under conditions of 40°C and 75% RH, with wavelengths of 300nm to 400nm and a power of 150W / m². 2 The sample was exposed to ultraviolet light for 12 hours. The glass transition temperature Tg (°C) was measured and suggested scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements were performed on both the coating composition before and after irradiation with ultraviolet light, using the method described below. The results are shown in Table 3. Samples in which the change in glass transition temperature (Tg) is small between the coating composition before irradiation with ultraviolet light and the coating composition after irradiation with ultraviolet light are samples that show little degradation due to exposure to ultraviolet light and are coating compositions with excellent UV resistance.

[0130] (2) Method for measuring the glass transition temperature Tg of a coating composition Using a differential scanning calorimeter "Q100" (manufactured by T.A. Instruments Japan Co., Ltd.), 0.01 to 0.02 g of the coating composition was weighed into an aluminum pan, heated from room temperature to 150°C at a rate of 10°C / min, cooled from that temperature to -50°C at a rate of 10°C / min, and then heated again to 150°C at a rate of 10°C / min, and the amount of heat was measured. The temperature at the intersection of the extension of the baseline below the maximum endothermic peak temperature and the tangent line showing the maximum slope from the rising part of the peak to the peak apex was defined as the glass transition point.

[0131] <Method for evaluating hydrophobicity> The hydrophobicity was evaluated on the coating composition before and after irradiation with ultraviolet light, as in the UV resistance evaluation described above. Specifically, the diameter of the water droplet was measured when 35 mg of distilled water was dropped onto the coating composition from a height of 2 cm using a 3 mm dropper. Three water droplets were arbitrarily selected, and the average value was calculated. The results are shown in Table 3. The smaller the water droplet diameter, the higher the hydrophobicity of the coating composition and the better its water-repellent properties. Furthermore, the change in water droplet diameter was calculated for the coating composition before and after irradiation with ultraviolet light. The results are shown in Table 3. Samples with a small change in diameter are those that show little degradation due to exposure to ultraviolet light and are coating compositions with excellent water repellency and UV resistance. Furthermore, the percentage change in water droplet diameter before and after UV light irradiation was calculated using the following formula (1). The results are shown in Table 3. The smaller the percentage change in water droplet diameter, the less degradation the sample undergoes due to UV light exposure, and the more the coating composition exhibits excellent water repellency and UV resistance. The percentage change in water droplet diameter before and after irradiation (%) = [(Water droplet diameter determined for the coating composition after UV irradiation) - (Water droplet diameter determined for the coating composition before UV irradiation)] / (Water droplet diameter determined for the coating composition before UV irradiation)] × 100 (1)

[0132] The smaller the water droplet diameter measured on the coating composition after UV irradiation, the better the UV resistance and the superior the water repellency of the coating composition. Therefore, the hydrophobicity of the coating composition was evaluated according to the following hydrophobicity evaluation criteria. The results are shown in Table 3. The coating compositions are evaluated in the order of A, B, C, and D, from highest to lowest hydrophobicity. <Evaluation Criteria for Hydrophobicity> A: The water droplet diameter measured on the coating composition after UV irradiation is small, and the change in water droplet diameter measured before and after UV irradiation is small. B: The water droplet diameter measured on the coating composition after UV irradiation was slightly smaller, and the change in water droplet diameter measured before and after UV irradiation was small. C: The water droplet diameter measured with the coating composition before UV irradiation was slightly smaller, but it became slightly larger after UV irradiation. D: The water droplet diameter measured on the coating composition after UV irradiation is large.

[0133] As shown in Table 3, by applying the coating compositions shown in Table 2 to the hydraulic composition, a hydraulic composition having a coating layer with excellent water repellency and excellent UV resistance can be obtained.
