Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an anticorrosion coating composition, a coating film, a substrate with a coating film, and a method for producing the same. [Background technology]

[0002] BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, anticorrosion coating films have been provided on substrates of land and marine structures such as bridges, tanks, plants, and (transport) containers for the purpose of preventing corrosion.

[0003] In recent years, regulations on the content of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have become stricter from the perspectives of environmental conservation and working environment safety, and there is a desire to switch from solvent-based paints to water-based paints for forming the above-mentioned anticorrosion coating films.

[0004] As such water-based paints, Patent Documents 1 and 2 describe natural drying (room temperature curing) water-based anticorrosive paints. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2016-222901 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 11-166153 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] Although the conventional water-based anticorrosion paints described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 above dry and harden to a certain extent at room temperature of about 23°C, the drying and hardening speed is not fast enough, and there is room for improvement, particularly with regard to the drying and hardening speed at low temperatures (e.g., 5°C) such as in winter.

[0007] Epoxy-amine paints are one example of paints with excellent corrosion resistance. To improve the drying and curing properties of such epoxy-amine paints, it is possible to increase the molecular weight of the epoxy resin or use a highly reactive amine. However, when the inventors tried these methods, they found that although the drying and curing properties improved, in the former case, the corrosion resistance decreased, and in the latter case, the pot life of the paint was shortened. In particular, there is a trade-off between excellent (fast) drying and curing properties of a paint and a long pot life of the paint, and conventional paints have not been able to achieve both.

[0008] The present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object of the present invention is to provide an anticorrosion coating composition that can form a coating film with excellent corrosion prevention and water resistance, has a long pot life, and is excellent in drying and curing properties. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] As a result of extensive research into methods for solving the above problems, the inventors have found that a specific composition can solve the above problems, and have thus completed the present invention. An example of the configuration of the present invention is as follows.

[0010] <1> a first agent containing an epoxy resin curing agent (A), a (meth)acrylic resin (B), and water (D); and a second agent containing a non-aqueous epoxy resin (C) having an epoxy equivalent of 270 or less. Anticorrosive coating composition.

[Effects of the Invention]

[0016] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an anticorrosion coating composition that can form a coating film with excellent corrosion resistance and water resistance, has a long pot life (5 hours or more), and has excellent drying and curing properties (hereinafter simply referred to as "drying properties"). In particular, the anticorrosion coating composition of the present invention has a low VOC content, a long pot life, and a fast drying and curing rate even at low temperatures (e.g., 5°C) such as in winter, and therefore can significantly improve coating workability at the coating site compared to conventional coatings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0017] <Anti-corrosion coating composition> The anticorrosion coating composition according to the present invention (hereinafter also simply referred to as "the composition") comprises a first part containing an epoxy resin curing agent (A), a (meth)acrylic resin (B), and water (D), and a second part containing a non-aqueous epoxy resin (C) having an epoxy equivalent of 270 or less. In conventional compositions, a (meth)acrylic resin is often contained in a base resin containing an epoxy resin, but one of the features of the present composition is that an epoxy resin curing agent (A) and a (meth)acrylic resin (B) are blended in the first agent. This configuration of the present composition is thought to be one of the reasons why the present composition exhibits the above-mentioned effects that could not be achieved with conventional paints.

[0018] The present composition is not particularly limited as long as it is a multi-component composition containing the first and second agents, and depending on the components used, it may also be a three- or more-component composition containing a third agent other than the first and second agents. These first to third agents (hereinafter collectively referred to as "agent n") are usually stored, preserved, transported, etc. in separate containers, and are mixed together at the time of painting (e.g., immediately before painting) to form the present composition, which is then used. In other words, these agents n can be said to be components of a kit for preparing the present composition, and in other words, the present composition can be said to be a kit for anticorrosion coating compositions that includes the first agent and the second agent. In the present invention, agent n is an agent that can be stored after its preparation until the preparation of the present composition. For example, the mill-bases described in the examples below are usually mixed with other ingredients for use shortly after preparation of the mill-bases, and therefore do not fall under agent n in the present invention.

[0019] The present composition is prepared by mixing the agent n, but may be diluted after or during this preparation depending on the coating method and other factors. All descriptions in this specification, except for those relating to such dilution, are descriptions of the product before dilution.

[0020] Since this composition contains water (D), it is usually an aqueous coating composition. An aqueous coating composition is a composition in which components such as curing agent (A), resin (B), and resin (C) are dispersed and / or dissolved in water or a medium whose main component is water (aqueous medium). The water content in the aqueous coating composition is preferably 50% by mass or more, preferably 60 to 100% by mass, and more preferably 65 to 100% by mass, relative to 100% by mass of the total amount of the dispersion medium and solvent in the composition.

[0021] In environments where paint is applied to substrates such as containers, drying facilities may not be sufficient. When applying conventional water-based paints in such environments, emphasis is placed on drying speed, and large amounts of organic solvents have been blended into the paints. On the other hand, according to the present invention, a coating composition with excellent drying properties can be obtained, and therefore, even without blending a large amount of organic solvent, the desired coating film can be easily formed in places where drying equipment is insufficient and at low temperatures such as in winter. Therefore, from the viewpoints of environmental conservation and safety of the working environment, the content of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the composition is preferably 10% by mass or less, more preferably 8% by mass or less, and the VOC content in the composition is preferably 200 g / L or less, more preferably 180 g / L or less.

[0022] The VOC content in the composition can be calculated from the specific gravity of the composition, the heating residue percentage (mass ratio of non-volatile content), and the moisture content using the following formulas (1) and (2). The specific gravity of the composition, the heating residue percentage, and the moisture content may be measured values ​​as described below, or may be values ​​calculated from the raw materials used. VOC content (mass%)=(100-heating residue rate-moisture rate) / 100...(1) VOC content (g / L) = Composition specific gravity x 1000 x (100 - heating residual fraction - moisture percentage) / 100... (2)

[0023] Composition specific gravity (g / ml): A value calculated by filling a 100 ml specific gravity cup with this composition (the composition immediately after mixing with agent n) at a temperature of 23°C and measuring the mass of the composition.

[0024] Heating residue (mass %): 1±0.1 g of this composition (the composition immediately after mixing with agent n) or each component is weighed out onto a flat-bottomed dish, spread evenly using a wire of known mass, and heated at 125°C for 1 hour (at normal pressure), and the mass percentage is calculated by measuring the heating residue (non-volatile content) and the mass of the wire. Hereinafter, this heating residue of the composition is also referred to as the non-volatile content of the composition. Note that the non-volatile content of each component below (e.g., the non-volatile content of the curing agent (A)) refers to the components other than the solvent and dispersion medium in each component.

[0025] Moisture content (mass%): The mass percentage of water contained in 100 mass% of the composition, measured by the Karl Fischer method.

[0026] When the present composition is applied and dried at 23°C in accordance with ASTM D5895, the time required for the coating surface to reach a semi-cured (tack-free) state is preferably 10 to 60 minutes, more preferably 10 to 50 minutes, and the time required for the coating surface to reach a fully cured (dry-hard) state is preferably 10 to 90 minutes, more preferably 10 to 60 minutes. The composition of the present invention, for which each of these times (drying and curing rates) falls within the above ranges, can be said to have excellent drying properties, and can significantly improve coating workability compared to conventional paints, making it suitable for use on substrates that are difficult to heat when forming a coating film.

[0027] Furthermore, when the present composition is applied and dried at 5°C according to ASTM D5895, the time required for the coating surface to reach a semi-cured (tack-free) state is preferably 20 to 60 minutes, more preferably 20 to 50 minutes, and the time required for the coating surface to reach a completely cured (dry-hard) state is preferably 20 to 60 minutes, more preferably 20 to 50 minutes. The composition of the present invention, for which each of these times (drying and curing rates) falls within the above ranges, can be said to have excellent drying properties at low temperatures, and can significantly improve coating workability compared to conventional paints. It can also be suitably used for substrates that are difficult to heat when forming a coating film.

[0028] The pot life of the present composition, as measured by the method described in the examples below, is preferably 3 hours or more, more preferably 5 hours or more. The present composition can be made into a composition having a pot life within the above range and a drying and curing rate within the above range, thereby significantly improving the coating workability compared to conventional paints.

[0029] The present composition is suitable for use on substrates such as steel (iron, steel, ferroalloy, carbon steel, mild steel, alloy steel, etc.), non-ferrous metals (zinc, aluminum, copper, brass, zinc plating, zinc thermal spraying, etc.), and stainless steel (SUS304, SUS410, etc.), and is particularly suitable for use on substrates made of steel or stainless steel. Specific examples of such substrates include (large) steel or stainless steel structures such as ships, marine structures, plants, bridges, tanks, and containers (especially reefer containers).

[0030] The present composition can be suitably used as an anticorrosion coating composition for the above substrates. The present composition may be used as an undercoat paint (primer) for the substrate, as an intermediate coat paint formed between the undercoat paint and the topcoat paint, or as a topcoat paint. More specifically, the present composition can be suitably used as an undercoat paint for the substrate, an intermediate coat paint, a topcoat paint for the inner surfaces of tanks, containers, etc., or a zinc primer containing zinc powder.

The first agent may contain other components, such as pigments (E) (e.g., extender pigments, color pigments, and anti-rust pigments), flash rust inhibitors, dispersants, antifoaming agents, thixotropic agents (anti-sagging and anti-settling agents), leveling agents, wetting agents, thickeners, film-forming aids, plasticizers, driers, fibrous substances, surfactants, organic solvents, mildew inhibitors, preservatives, ultraviolet absorbers, light stabilizers, and pH adjusters, as needed, within the scope of the invention. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. From the viewpoint of ease of application, it is preferable that the present composition does not contain sand.

[0032] [Epoxy resin hardener (A)] The curing agent (A) is not particularly limited as long as it contains active hydrogen and reacts with the epoxy resin (C), and examples thereof include amine curing agents and acid anhydride curing agents. Among these, amine curing agents are preferred because they can easily form a coating film with excellent corrosion resistance. The curing agent (A) contained in the present composition may be one type or two or more types.

The water-soluble amine compound refers to a compound that is transparent in appearance when 30% by mass of water and 70% by mass of the amine compound are mixed at 25°C and thoroughly stirred. The amine emulsion may be, for example, an emulsion in which the following amine compounds are dispersed in an aqueous medium such as water.

The mixing (kneading) may be carried out while heating or cooling depending on the season, environment, etc.

[0133] <Coating film, coated substrate> The coating film according to the present invention (hereinafter also referred to as "the present coating film") is formed using the present composition, and the substrate with the coating film according to the present invention (hereinafter also referred to as "the substrate with the present coating film") is a laminate having the present coating film and a substrate.

[0134] The material of the substrate is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include steel (iron, steel, ferroalloy, carbon steel, mild steel, alloy steel, etc.), non-ferrous metals (zinc, aluminum, copper, brass, zinc plating, zinc thermal spraying, etc.), and stainless steel (SUS304, SUS410, etc.). Furthermore, when mild steel (SS400, etc.) is used as the substrate, it is desirable to adjust the surface of the substrate (e.g., adjust the arithmetic mean roughness (Ra) to about 30 to 75 μm) by polishing the surface of the substrate by grit blasting, etc., as necessary. The substrate may be a substrate that has been subjected to pretreatment such as cleaning or blasting to remove rust, dirt, paint (old paint film), and the like adhering to the substrate.

[0135] The substrate is not particularly limited, and can be used without limitation on substrates that require corrosion resistance. However, in terms of the effects of using the present composition being more pronounced, preferred examples include (steel) structures such as ships, marine structures, plants, bridges, tanks, and containers.

[0136] The dry film thickness of the coating is not particularly limited, but is usually 10 to 100 μm, preferably 15 to 80 μm, and more preferably 20 to 60 μm, in order to obtain a coating having sufficient anticorrosion properties.

[0137] The substrate with the coating film of the present invention is a laminate comprising the coating film of the present invention and a substrate, and may have an undercoat coating film (primer coating film) intended to improve adhesion to the substrate and corrosion resistance, an intermediate coating film intended to improve corrosion resistance, and a topcoat coating film that is excellent in weather resistance, aesthetics, etc. Specifically, when the present composition is used as a zinc primer, an intermediate coating film or a topcoat coating film may be formed on the present coating film; when the present composition is used as an intermediate coating, a primer coating film may be formed between the present coating film and the substrate, or a topcoat coating film may be formed on the present coating film; when the present composition is used as a topcoat paint (internal topcoat paint), a primer coating film or an intermediate coating film may be formed between the present coating film and the substrate; and when the present composition is used as an intermediate coating film for a non-ferrous metal substrate or a stainless steel substrate, a primer coating film or a topcoat coating film may be formed on the present coating film. Examples of the undercoat coating film include coating films formed from various primer compositions such as epoxy resin-based ones. Examples of the intermediate coating film include coating films formed from various intermediate coating compositions such as (meth)acrylic resin-based, epoxy resin-based, and urethane resin-based ones. Examples of the topcoat coating film include coating films formed from various topcoat coating compositions such as (meth)acrylic resin-based, (meth)acrylic silicone resin-based, urethane resin-based, silicone resin-based, and fluororesin-based ones. Furthermore, the composition of the present composition may be changed to form the undercoat coating film, intermediate coating film, and topcoat coating film using the present composition.

[0138] <Manufacturing method of substrate with coating film> The method for producing a substrate with a coating film according to the present invention (hereinafter also referred to as "the method") includes the following steps [1] and [2]. Step [1]: Applying the composition to a substrate Step [2]: A step of drying the composition applied to the substrate to form a coating film.

[0139] <Process [1]> The coating method in the step [1] is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include conventionally known methods such as spray coating such as airless spray coating and air spray coating, brush coating, roller coating, etc. Among these, spray coating is preferred because it allows for easy coating of large-area substrates such as the structure. In such coating, it is preferable to coat the resulting coating so that the dry film thickness falls within the above range.

[0140] The spray coating conditions may be adjusted as appropriate depending on the desired dry film thickness. For example, in the case of airless spray coating, it is preferable that the primary (air) pressure is about 0.3 to 0.6 MPa, the secondary (paint) pressure is about 10 to 15 MPa, and the gun movement speed is about 50 to 120 cm / sec.

[0141] When applying the composition, the viscosity of the coating composition may be adjusted as desired, preferably using water as a diluent for adjusting the viscosity. In this case, it is preferable to use a diluent so that the paint viscosity is suitable for each coating method. For example, in the case of airless spray coating, the amount of diluent used per 100 parts by mass of the composition is preferably 1 to 30 parts by mass, more preferably 1 to 20 parts by mass.

[0142] The viscosity of the composition suitable for spray coating (diluted as necessary) is preferably 500 to 5,000 mPa·s, more preferably 1,000 to 3,000 mPa·s, measured at 23°C using a B-type viscometer (manufactured by Rion Co., Ltd., Model VT-06) as the measuring instrument.

[0143] <Process [2]> The drying conditions in step [2] are not particularly limited and may be set appropriately depending on the coating film formation method, the type of substrate, the intended use, the coating environment, etc., but the drying temperature is usually 5 to 35° C. when drying at room temperature, and usually 30 to 90° C., more preferably 40 to 80° C. when forced drying is performed using a hot air dryer or the like. The present composition can be dried and cured even by drying at room temperature. The drying time varies depending on the drying method of the coating film, and when dried at room temperature, it may take about 1 to 7 days, as with conventional paints, but with the present composition, it can be dried and cured preferably in 1.5 to 6 hours, more preferably 1.5 to 3 hours. When forced drying is used, it may take about 5 to 60 minutes, as with conventional paints, but with the present composition, it can be dried and cured preferably in 5 to 30 minutes, more preferably 10 to 20 minutes. [Example]

An aqueous zinc primer (EKOMATE ZINC M, manufactured by Chugoku Toryo Co., Ltd.) was sprayed onto a blast-treated steel plate (SS400, dimensions: 150 mm x 70 mm x 1.6 mm (thickness)) using an air spray to give an average dry film thickness of 30 μm. The primer was then dried at room temperature for 5 minutes and then hot-air dried at 50°C for 15 minutes to form a primer coating. Next, each of the paint compositions after viscosity adjustment was applied to the undercoat coating film by air spray so that the average dry film thickness was 40 μm, and the coating was dried at room temperature for 10 minutes, followed by hot air drying at 50°C for 15 minutes to form an intermediate coating film.

A water-based zinc primer (EKOMATE ZINC M, manufactured by Chugoku Toryo Co., Ltd.) was sprayed onto a blasted steel plate (SS400, dimensions: 150 mm x 70 mm x 1.6 mm (thickness)) using an air spray to give an average dry film thickness of 30 μm, and then dried overnight at 5°C to form a primer coating. Next, each of the paint compositions after viscosity adjustment was applied to the undercoat coating film by air spray so that the average dry film thickness was 40 μm, and the coating was dried overnight in a 5°C environment to form an intermediate coating film.

[0151] [Test specimen preparation method 3] The viscosity of the coating composition of Example 9 was adjusted with ion-exchanged water so that the viscosity at 23°C of the composition measured using the Brookfield viscometer was 1,000 mPa·s. The aqueous zinc primer was applied by air spray to a blast-treated steel plate (SS400, dimensions: 150 mm × 70 mm × 1.6 mm (thickness)) so that the average dry film thickness was 30 μm, and the resulting film was dried at room temperature for 5 minutes, followed by hot air drying at 50°C for 15 minutes to form a primer coating film.

[0152] [Test specimen preparation method 4] The viscosity of the coating composition of Example 10 was adjusted with ion-exchanged water so that the viscosity at 23°C of the composition measured using the Brookfield viscometer was 1,000 mPa·s.

(Evaluation criteria) ○: No rust or blistering occurred on the coating film after the salt spray test. △: Rust or blistering occurred on the coating film after the salt spray test, and the rust grade specified in JIS K 5600-8-3:2008 was Ri1 or less (Ri1, Ri0), or the blister size specified in JIS K 5600-8-2:2008 was 2 and the amount (density) was 3 or less. ×: Rust or blisters have occurred on the coating film after the salt spray test, and the rust grade specified in JIS K 5600-8-3:2008 is Ri2 or higher (Ri2, Ri3...), or the blister size specified in JIS K 5600-8-2:2008 is 2 and the quantity (density) is 4 or higher, or the blister size is 3 or higher.

[0156] <Pot life> 1000 g of each coating composition of the Examples and Comparative Examples was weighed out and placed in a container with an inner diameter of 11 cm and a height of 12.5 cm, and kept in a thermostatic chamber at 35°C. The time until precipitation or aggregation of the composition occurred was measured. The results are shown in Tables 1 to 5.

[0157] <Secondary adhesion> [Cross-cut adhesion test] After the corrosion resistance test, the test specimens were washed with water and then dried for one day in an environment at 23°C and 50% humidity. A cross-cut adhesion test (cross-cut method) was then conducted on the areas of the test specimens that had been sprayed with salt water but had no scribe lines, in accordance with JIS K 5600-5-6:1999, with 25 2mm x 2mm squares. The adhesion was evaluated according to the following criteria, expressed as the percentage of the area of ​​the coating film that had peeled off from the stainless steel plate relative to the 100% coating area occupied by the 25 squares. The results are shown in Table 5. (Evaluation criteria) ○: The area of ​​peeled coating is 15% or less ×: The area of ​​peeled coating is greater than 15%

[0158] [Creep width measurement] After the corrosion resistance test, the test specimens were washed with water and then dried for one day at a temperature of 23°C and humidity of 50%. The creep width (the distance between the scribed area and the point where the coating film and the stainless steel plate had peeled off, which was the farthest from the scribed area) was measured in the test specimen's evaluation area. Note that the "evaluation area" here refers to the area excluding a 1 cm area from the edge of the test specimen. The results are shown in Table 5.

[0159] [Table 1]

[0160] [Table 2]

[0161] [Table 3]

[0162] [Table 4]

[0163] [Table 5]

[0164] [Table 6]

[0165] In Example 1, epoxy resin 1 was used. However, similar results were obtained when an #834 type epoxy resin such as "jER-834" (manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, bisphenol A type epoxy resin, epoxy equivalent weight 230-270, non-volatile content 100%) or "E-834-85X" (manufactured by Ohtake Meishin Chemical Co., Ltd., xylene solution of bisphenol A type semi-solid epoxy resin (834 type epoxy resin solution, non-volatile content 85%), epoxy equivalent weight of non-volatile content approximately 255) was used instead of epoxy resin 1. However, when the #834 type epoxy resin is used, the VOC content increases by about 10 g / L compared to Example 1 above.

[0166] <Properties of epoxy resin> The properties of the epoxy resins used in the above examples and comparative examples were measured as follows. 0.1 g of the epoxy resin (as is) used in the examples and comparative examples was added to a mixed solution of 90 g of pure water and 10 g of butyl carbitol in a sample bottle, and the sample bottle was shaken well to obtain a measurement solution. Note that 0.1 g of epoxy resin (as is) means that when 0.1 g of epoxy resin with a % non-volatile content is used as the epoxy resin, the epoxy resin (as is) is 0.1 g, not 0.1 × a / 100 g.

[0167] After performing a baseline measurement using the mixed solution, the transmittance of the obtained measurement solution was measured under the following measurement conditions. The mixed solution was used as a reference. The transmittance of light with a wavelength of 600 nm is shown in Table 7 below. (Measurement conditions) Equipment: SolidSpec-3700 (Shimadzu Corporation) Measurement wavelength range: 200-800nm Scan speed: 300nm / min Sampling pitch: 0.5nm Slit width: 5nm Light source: Deuterium lamp (200-310nm) and halogen lamp (310-1400nm) nm) Optical path length (cell thickness) 1cm

[0168] [Table 7]

[0169] It should be noted that, like Epoxy Resin 2, Epoxy Resin 3 is an emulsion, and therefore it is thought that the results will be similar to those of Epoxy Resin 2.
