[Effects of the Invention]

[0011] According to the present invention, a coating composition is provided which not only gives a coating film with excellent durability but also has excellent workability. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] paint composition The coating composition of the present disclosure is a multi-component coating composition containing a base agent (I) and a curing agent (II). The coating composition of the present disclosure may be a two-component coating composition. At least one of the base agent (I) and the curing agent (II) contains a pigment (C). The base agent (I) contains a polyamine compound (A), and the curing agent (II) contains a polyisocyanate compound (B). The polyamine compound (A) contains an aspartic acid ester amine (A1). The polyisocyanate compound (B) contains an allophanate group-containing polyisocyanate compound (B1) and a prepolymer-type isocyanate compound (B2).

[0013] The reaction between the polyamine compound (A) and the polyisocyanate compound (B) forms a polyurea compound and a coating film. The reaction between the polyamine compound (A) and the polyisocyanate compound (B) is thought to be initiated by a nucleophilic reaction of the amino group with the carbon atom of the isocyanate group. The high reactivity between the polyamine compound (A) and the polyisocyanate compound (B) results in a strong bond, which can result in the resulting coating film having good hardness and abrasion resistance.

[0014] The prepolymer type isocyanate compound (B2) is a compound obtained by reacting some of the isocyanate groups with a polyol, and has a number average molecular weight of 500 to 3,000 and an isocyanate group content of 3.0 to 15.0%. The prepolymer type isocyanate compound (B2) has a low isocyanate group content relative to the number average molecular weight and has few crosslinking points. In other words, the prepolymer type isocyanate compound (B2) imparts flexibility to the crosslinked structure. This imparts flexibility to the resulting coating film, and the coating film has a high elongation at break.

[0015] The allophanate group-containing polyisocyanate compound (B1) used in combination has a low viscosity. Furthermore, due to its structure, the allophanate group is expected to interact with substrates (e.g., asphalt) that have even slight polarity. Therefore, the allophanate group-containing polyisocyanate compound (B1) does not increase the viscosity of the coating composition, improving application at room temperature (20 to 30°C) and enhancing adhesion to the substrate. Additionally, the allophanate group-containing polyisocyanate compound (B1) can exert cohesive force due to the interaction between the hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms contained in the allophanate group. Therefore, the allophanate group-containing polyisocyanate compound (B1) improves the hardness of the resulting coating film.

[0016] The aspartic acid ester amine (A1) used as the polyamine compound (A) contains two ester groups, which can suppress the nucleophilicity of the amino group. This improves the pot life. Additionally, the aspartic acid ester amine (A1) has a low viscosity, which improves the application of the coating composition. Furthermore, the aspartic acid ester amine (A1) has a structure that is easily polarized, allowing it to interact with substrates (e.g., asphalt) that have even slight polarity, thereby improving the adhesion of the coating film.

[0017] A coating composition containing an aspartic acid ester amine (A1), an allophanate group-containing polyisocyanate compound (B1), a prepolymer-type isocyanate compound (B2), and a pigment (C) can form a coating film that has high hardness, elongation at break, and abrasion resistance while maintaining adhesion. As a result, the coating film exhibits excellent durability. Furthermore, the coating composition also has excellent workability at room temperature.

[0018] Durability is a property that combines adhesion to the substrate, hardness, elongation at break, and abrasion resistance.

[0019] In this disclosure, the nonvolatile content of the coating composition means the sum of the solid content of the main component (I) and the nonvolatile content of the curing agent (II). Also, in this disclosure, the nonvolatile content of the main component (I) and the curing agent (II) means the heating residue as defined in JIS K 5601-1-2:2008, and the proportion of the nonvolatile content is calculated by measuring the percentage of the mass of the residue after heating at 105°C for 60 minutes to the original mass.

[0020] In the present disclosure, the content is calculated based on the non-volatile content.

[0021] In this disclosure, the nonvolatile resin content refers to the nonvolatile content of the polyamine compound (A) and the polyisocyanate compound (B). The amount of the nonvolatile resin content is calculated as the mass of the residue after heating the coating composition at 105°C for 60 minutes, and the proportion of the nonvolatile resin content is calculated by measuring the percentage of the mass of the residue to the original mass.

[0022] [Polyamine compound (A)] The polyamine compound (A) refers to a compound having two or more amino groups in one molecule. The amino groups may be one or more types selected from primary amino groups and secondary amino groups, with a total of two or more types.

[0069] Other film-forming compounds The coating composition of the present disclosure may contain a polyol compound, but the content thereof is desirably small, because polyol compounds and polyisocyanate compounds have lower reactivity than polyamine compounds and polyisocyanate compounds, and the strength (tensile strength) of the resulting coating film tends not to be fully satisfactory.

[0070] The content of the polyol compound is, for example, 20 parts by mass or less, or may be 10 parts by mass or less, or may be 5 parts by mass or less, relative to 100 parts by mass of the polyamine compound (A).

[0072] The isocyanate groups contained in the polyisocyanate compound (B) may be modified, and the polyisocyanate compound (B) may also contain modified products of such polyisocyanate compounds. Furthermore, a crosslinking reaction may occur due to the isocyanate groups contained in the polyisocyanate compound (B). Since the polyisocyanate compound is a polymer and has three or more functionalities, at least one of the multiple isocyanate groups may be modified, or a crosslinking reaction may occur due to at least two isocyanate groups.

[0073] Allophanate group-containing polyisocyanate compound (B1) The allophanate group (—O—CO—N(—)—CO—NH—)-containing polyisocyanate compound (B1) increases the cohesive strength of the resulting coating film and improves its hardness.

[0081] The isocyanate group content of the prepolymer type isocyanate compound (B2) may be 5.0% by mass or more. The isocyanate group content may be 5.0% by mass or more and 15.0% by mass or less. When the isocyanate group content is within the above range, the breaking elongation of the resulting coating film is improved.

[0082] The prepolymer type isocyanate compound (B2) is obtained by reacting a polyol with an amount of polyisocyanate such that the isocyanate groups are in excess relative to the hydroxyl groups contained in the polyol.

[0087] As the prepolymer type isocyanate compound (B2), commercially available products can be used, such as Desmodur N3800, Desmodur E30600, Desmodur E30700 (all manufactured by Sumika Covestro Urethane Co., Ltd.), AE700-100, TSE-100 (all manufactured by Asahi Kasei Corporation), Coronate HL (manufactured by Tosoh Corporation), and Burnock DN-955-S (manufactured by DIC Corporation).

[0088] The prepolymer type isocyanate compound (B2) may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0089] The content of the prepolymer isocyanate compound (B2) is, for example, 1.0% by mass or more and 50.0% by mass or less, based on 100% by mass of the total amount of the polyisocyanate compound (B). The content of the prepolymer isocyanate compound (B2) may be 2.0% by mass or more, 3.0% by mass or more, 8.0% by mass or more, or 10.0% by mass or more.

[0090] The mass ratio (B1) / (B2) of the allophanate group-containing polyisocyanate compound (B1) to the prepolymer-type isocyanate compound (B2) is, for example, greater than 3.0 and not greater than 35.0. The mass ratio (B1) / (B2) may be greater than 3.0 and not greater than 20.0, or may be 4.0 or greater and 15.0 or less. When the mass ratio is within this range, the resulting coating film can achieve both appropriate elongation and hardness, and also has excellent abrasion resistance. In other words, when the mass ratio is within this range, the durability of the coating film is further improved.

[0091] Other polyisocyanate compounds (B3) The polyisocyanate compound (B) may contain other polyisocyanate compounds (B3) to the extent that the physical properties of the coating film are not affected. Examples of such polyisocyanate compounds (B3) include aliphatic polyisocyanates, alicyclic polyisocyanates, aromatic polyisocyanates, and polymers of aliphatic polyisocyanates, alicyclic polyisocyanates, or aromatic polyisocyanates, and the polyisocyanate compound (B3) may contain one or more of them.

[0097] In the coating composition of the present disclosure, the total content of the polyamine compound (A) and the polyisocyanate compound (B) may be, for example, 25 to 97 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the nonvolatile content of the coating composition. By being within this range, the hardness and abrasion resistance of the resulting coating film are improved. The total content may be 40 to 97 parts by mass, or 50 to 97 parts by mass.

[0098] Pigment The coating composition of the present disclosure contains a pigment (C). The inclusion of the pigment (C) can improve the adhesion of the resulting coating film. The pigment (C) is contained in at least one of the main agent (I) and the curing agent (II), and is preferably contained in the main agent (I).

[0099] Examples of the pigment (C) include at least one of inorganic pigments and organic pigments.

[0101] In one embodiment, the pigment may include an extender pigment, such as at least one selected from the group consisting of calcium carbonate, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, precipitated barium sulfate, talc, silica, zirconia, alumina silicate, zirconia silicate, kaolin, seashell chalk, and eggshell calcium.

[0102] The pigment (C) may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0103] The pigment volume concentration (PVC) of the coating composition is, for example, 3% by volume or more and 10% by volume or less. When the PVC is within the above range, the adhesion of the resulting coating film is improved. The PVC may be 4% by volume or more, or 5% by volume or more. The PVC may be 10% by volume or less. The PVC may be 4% by volume or more and 10% by volume or less, or 5% by volume or more and 10% by volume or less.

[0104] The pigment volume concentration (PVC) in this specification can be calculated from the following formula using the volume of all pigments (P) calculated from the specific gravity and blending amount of each pigment contained in the paint composition, and the volume of resin (R) calculated from the specific gravity and blending amount of each resin nonvolatile content. PVC (volume%) = P / (P+R) x 100

[0105] [Dehydrating agent] The coating composition of the present disclosure may further contain a dehydrating agent. The dehydrating agent can improve the pot life of the coating composition. Although not intended to be limited to a particular theory, it is believed that the dehydrating agent inhibits reaction between the isocyanate group of the polyisocyanate compound (B) and water that may be contained in the coating composition or moisture in the surrounding environment.

[0106] The dehydrating agent may be either a physical dehydrating agent or a chemical dehydrating agent, and may be a physical dehydrating agent. Examples of the physical dehydrating agent include synthetic zeolites such as molecular sieves, silica gel, and porous materials such as deciclay. Examples of the chemical dehydrating agent include calcium sulfate, calcium chloride, and calcium oxide.

[0107] The content of the dehydrating agent is, for example, 0.0 parts by mass or more and 15.0 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the resin nonvolatile content. The content of the dehydrating agent may be 0.3 parts by mass or more. The content of the dehydrating agent may be 10.0 parts by mass or less. The content of the dehydrating agent may be 0.3 parts by mass or more and 10.0 parts by mass or less.

[0108] [Organic solvents] The coating composition of the present disclosure may further contain an organic solvent. It is more preferable to use an organic solvent in an amount that takes into consideration recent trends in environmental conservation and environmental impact. The amount of organic solvent may be 10% by mass or less, based on a total of 100% by mass of the coating composition (based on a total of 100% by mass of the main component (I) and the curing agent (II)). By having the amount of organic solvent within the above range, the amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odor of the coating can be reduced. The drying time is also reduced, improving application ease. Particularly when used for road markings, the traffic control time during application can be shortened. The amount of organic solvent may be 5% by mass or less, 3% by mass or less, or even 0% by mass.

[0109] The organic solvent may include those commonly used in solvent-based paints, such as methyl ethyl ketone, cyclohexanone, Solvesso 100 (manufactured by Exxon Chemical Co.), methoxybutyl acetate, 1-methoxy-2-propyl acetate, cellosolve acetate, butyl cellosolve acetate, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, toluene, xylene, petroleum ether, and petroleum naphtha.

[0110] [Viscosity adjuster] The coating composition of the present disclosure may contain a viscosity modifier. The use of a viscosity modifier can impart thixotropy to the coating composition. Furthermore, deterioration of the coating appearance due to interlayer mixing, sagging, etc. can be reduced. From the viewpoint of achieving both drying properties and coating appearance, it is preferable to use a body pigment and a viscosity modifier in combination. The use of a body pigment and a viscosity modifier makes it possible to reduce the viscosity of the coating under high shear and slow the viscosity recovery, thereby obtaining an excellent coating appearance.

[0111] As the viscosity modifier, generally, a substance exhibiting thixotropy can be used, and examples thereof include polyolefin-based viscosity modifiers such as colloidal swollen dispersions of polyolefins, polyamide-based viscosity modifiers such as swollen dispersions of fatty acid amides, amide-based fatty acids, and phosphates of long-chain polyaminoamides, organic bentonite-based viscosity modifiers such as organic acid smectite clay and montmorillonite, inorganic pigments such as aluminum silicate and barium sulfate, flat pigments whose viscosity is developed depending on the shape of the pigment, crosslinked resin particles, and non-crosslinked resin particles.

[0112] Examples of polyolefin viscosity modifiers include polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene-propylene copolymer, polyethylene oxide obtained by contacting polyethylene with oxygen or the like, polypropylene oxide obtained by contacting polypropylene with oxygen or the like, ethylene oxide-propylene copolymer obtained by contacting ethylene-propylene copolymer with oxygen or the like, ethylene-(meth)acrylic acid copolymer, ethylene-maleic anhydride copolymer, and propylene-maleic anhydride copolymer, of which polyethylene oxide, polypropylene oxide, and ethylene oxide-propylene copolymer are preferred, and polyethylene oxide is more preferred.

[0113] Specific examples of polyethylene oxide that can be used as a viscosity adjuster include Disparlon PF-911, Disparlon 4200-10, and Disparlon 4200-20 (manufactured by Kusumoto Chemicals Co., Ltd.).

[0114] As a polyamide-based viscosity modifier that can be used as a viscosity modifier, for example, fatty acid amides can be used. Commercially available fatty acid amides are known to be in powder form or paste form. Paste-form products are generally diluted with a solvent such as xylene or alcohol.

[0115] An example of the fatty acid amide is a diamide having the general structure shown in formula (IV) below.

[0116] [ka]

[0117] [In formula (IV), R 5 is a residue obtained by removing a hydroxyl group and a carboxyl group from a hydroxyl-containing fatty acid, and preferably C 1-20 represents an alkylene group, more preferably a straight or branched C 1-20 Alkylene groups, more preferably straight or branched C 1-10 Alkylene groups, more preferably straight or branched C 1-5 Represents an alkylene group.

[0120] [Compounds having anionic and cationic groups] The coating composition of the present disclosure may contain a compound having an anionic group and a cationic group. The inclusion of this compound can improve the pot life of the coating composition. While not intended to be limited to a particular theory, it is believed that the inclusion of a compound having an anionic group and a cationic group can suppress association between the amino group of the amine compound (A) and the isocyanate group of the polyisocyanate compound (B), as well as suppress the nucleophilicity of the amino group of the amine compound (A), thereby improving the pot life of the coating composition. According to the inventors' investigations, the above-mentioned effects are difficult to achieve with compounds having only anionic groups or only cationic groups.

[0121] The anionic group includes acid groups such as carboxyl groups, sulfonic acid groups, and phosphoric acid groups, as well as esters of such acid groups (i.e., carboxylic acid esters, sulfonic acid esters, and phosphoric acid esters), with phosphoric acid groups and phosphate esters being preferred. The anionic group in the compound may be in the form of a salt such as an ammonium salt, lithium salt, sodium salt, or potassium salt.

[0122] Examples of the cationic group include an unsubstituted amino group, a mono- or di-substituted amino group, and a quaternary ammonium group.

[0123] The compound having an anionic group and a cationic group is preferably a polymer such as polyester, polyether, or polyacrylic polymer, or a polymer compound such as a copolymer of two or more types of polymers selected from the above polymers, to which the anionic group and the cationic group are bonded.

[0124] The acid value of the compound having an anionic group and a cationic group may be 5 mgKOH / g or more and 200 mgKOH / g or less, more preferably 10 mgKOH / g or more and 150 mgKOH / g or less.

[0125] The amine value of the compound having an anionic group and a cationic group is preferably 5 mgKOH / g or more, more preferably 5 mgKOH / g or more and 200 mgKOH / g or less, and more preferably 20 mgKOH / g or more and 150 mgKOH / g or less.

[0126] The mass average molecular weight of the compound having an anionic group and a cationic group may be, for example, 200 or more and 500,000 or less, preferably 200 or more and 100,000 or less, and more preferably 200 or more and 70,000 or less.

[0127] The compound having an anionic group and a cationic group may be a commercially available product. Examples of such commercially available products include DISPARLON PW-36 and DISPARLON AQ-330 (manufactured by Kusumoto Chemicals Co., Ltd.); BYK-381, BYK-ES80, DISPERBYK-103, DISPERBYK-111, DISPERBYK-142, DISPERBYK-145, DISPERBYK-2001, DISPERBYK-2025, DISPERBYK-9076, and ANTI-TERRA-203 (manufactured by BYK-Chemie Co., Ltd.).

[0128] [Other ingredients] In addition to the above components, the coating composition of the present disclosure may contain other components as needed. Examples of such other components include various additives commonly used in coating compositions. Examples of such additives include resin particles, resin components, anti-sagging and anti-settling agents, curing catalysts (organometallic catalysts), color-shift inhibitors, dispersants, anti-foaming and anti-popping agents, thickeners, viscosity modifiers, leveling agents, matting agents, UV absorbers, light stabilizers, antioxidants, anti-foaming agents, surface conditioners, plasticizers, pinhole inhibitors, rust inhibitors, film-forming aids, dehydrating agents, surfactants, and compounds having anionic and cationic groups. The amounts of these components may be appropriately adjusted within a range that does not impair the effects of the present invention.

[0129] The optional components may be contained in either the main agent (I) or the curing agent (II), and are preferably contained in the main agent (I).

[0130] [Method for preparing base agent (I) and curing agent (II)] The main component (I) and the curing agent (II) can be prepared by mixing the components contained therein by a method known to those skilled in the art, such as a kneading / mixing method using a kneader or a roll, or a dispersing / mixing method using a sand grind mill or a disperser.

[0131] [Shear viscosity] Main agent (I) at a shear rate of 10,000 s at 25°C -1 The shear viscosity of the curing agent (II) measured at a shear rate of 10,000 s at 25°C may be 1,000 mPa·s or less. -1 The shear viscosity measured by the method may be 1,000 mPa·s or less. The shear viscosity of the base agent (I) and the curing agent (II) may both be 1,000 mPa·s or less.

[0132] Shear rate 10,000 s -1is a value that assumes the strain imparted to the coating composition during application. The shear viscosity within the above range indicates that the coating composition has a low viscosity during application. Such a coating composition has excellent workability and improves the adhesion of the resulting coating film to asphalt. The shear viscosity may be 800 mPa·s or less, or 500 mPa·s or less, respectively.

[0133] The shear viscosity was measured, for example, using a stress-controlled rheometer MCR-301 (manufactured by Anton Paar) with a jig: cone plate CP50 and a shear rate of 10,000 s -1 The viscosity is obtained by measuring the steady flow at a measurement temperature of 25°C and measuring the viscosity 60 seconds after the start of the measurement.

[0134] [Elongation at break] The elongation at break of the coating film obtained from the coating composition of the present disclosure is, for example, 10% or more. This further improves durability. The elongation at break of the coating film can be adjusted, for example, by the content of the prepolymer type isocyanate compound (B2) in 100% of the total mass of the polyisocyanate compound (B). The elongation at break may be 15% or more.

[0135] The elongation at break can be determined as follows. First, a free film (300 μm thick) of the coating is prepared using the coating composition of the present disclosure. Using a tensile tester (for example, a Tensilon tensile / extension universal tester manufactured by A&D Co., Ltd.), the length of the free film at break is measured at a tensile speed of 5 mm / min and a measurement temperature of 23°C. The elongation at break is calculated from the length at break using the following formula: Breaking elongation of coating film (%) = 100 x (length at break of free film / original length)

In addition to these steel sheets or plated steel sheets, metal sheets such as aluminum sheets (including aluminum alloy sheets) can also be coated. The metal sheet is preferably surface-treated. Specifically, the metal sheet is preferably subjected to a pretreatment such as alkaline degreasing, hot water washing, or water washing, followed by a chemical conversion treatment. The chemical conversion treatment may be performed by a known method, and examples include non-chromate treatments such as chromate treatment and zinc phosphate treatment. The surface treatment can be appropriately selected depending on the steel sheet to be used, but a treatment that does not contain heavy metals is preferred.

[0145] Coating film formation method The method for forming a coating film of the present disclosure comprises mixing a base agent (I) and a curing agent (II) to prepare a coating composition, and applying the coating composition to an object to be coated.

[0146] [Method for preparing coating composition] The coating composition can be prepared by mixing the base component (I) and the curing agent (II) using the same mixing means as for each component. Alternatively, the base component (I) and the curing agent (II) may be delivered to a two-component mixing gun and mixed at the tip of the gun.

[0147] [Painting method] The coating composition can be applied by a conventional coating method, such as immersion, brushing, roller coating, roll coating, air spraying, airless spraying, curtain flow coating, roller curtain coating, die coating, etc. The coating method can be appropriately selected depending on the substrate.

[0148] The coating film is formed by applying the coating composition to an object to be coated to form a coating film, and then curing the coating film. The coating composition of the present disclosure can be cured at a relatively low temperature in a short time.

[0149] The temperature during curing may be preferably 5° C. or higher and 60° C. or lower, more preferably 10° C. or higher and 40° C. or lower. The curing time may be, for example, 10 minutes or higher and 3 hours or lower.

[0150] The thickness of the coating film can be, for example, 10 to 1,000 μm.

[0151] Although a coating film formed from the coating composition of the present disclosure has good protective and decorative functions even in a single layer, the coating composition of the present disclosure may be applied as a topcoat paint on an undercoat paint film. In this case, known undercoat paints such as electrodeposition paints and primers can be used as the undercoat paint for forming the undercoat paint film. Furthermore, the coating composition of the present disclosure may be applied as an undercoat paint under a topcoat paint, and in this case, known topcoat paints such as intermediate paints, base paints, and clear paints can be used.

[0152] The coating composition of the present disclosure may be applied directly to an object to be coated, or, for example, the coating composition of the present disclosure may be applied as a topcoat on top of an undercoat film. [Example]
