Abstract
Description
PAINTING COMPOSITION TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a paint composition. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION To impart excellent appearance and properties to a substrate, a coating film is conventionally formed over the substrate by applying a paint composition to the substrate to form a wet coating film and curing the wet coating film. However, when the substrate has a vertical plane, the wet coating film on that plane buckles, resulting in a poor appearance. To address this issue, a paint composition containing a rheology control agent (rheology controller) with buckling control capabilities has been investigated. For example, PTL 1 describes a paint composition containing a binder component and a rheology control agent; and the rheology control agent for use contains a reaction product of a polyisocyanate compound, a primary monoamine having a number-average molecular weight of 300 or less, and a polyetheramine having a number-average molecular weight of more than 300 and less than 6000. List of appointments Patent literature PTL 1: WO2018 / 012552A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Technical problem The coating film formed from the paint composition described in PTL 1 is excellent in transparency, water resistance, and finished appearance.

Solution to the problem The present inventors carried out extensive research to achieve the objective and found that a paint composition containing a first predetermined rheology control agent and a second predetermined rheology control agent in combination can achieve the objective. Specifically, the present invention includes the following subject matter. In one embodiment, a paint composition is provided comprising (A) a binder component, (B) a first rheology control agent, and (C) a second rheology control agent, wherein the first rheology control agent (B) contains a reaction product of (b1) a polyisocyanate compound, (b2) a primary monoamine having a number-average molecular weight of 300 or less, and (b3) a polyetheramine having a number-average molecular weight of more than 300 and less than 6000, the proportion of polyetheramine having a number-average molecular weight of more than 300 and less than 6000 (b3) being 0.5% by mass or more and less than 10% by mass based on the total amount of components (b1) to (b3), the second rheology control agent (C) contains a reaction product of (e1) a polyisocyanate compound, (c2) a primary monoamine having a number average molecular weight of 300 or less, and (c3) a polyetheramine having two or more amino groups and having a number average molecular weight of 1000 or more and less than 6000, the proportion of polyetheramine having two or more amino groups and having a number average molecular weight of 1000 or more and less than 6000 (c3) is within a range of 10 to 30% by mass based on the total amount of components (e1) to (c3). In another form, the polyether amine that has two or more amino groups and has a number average molecular weight of 1000 or more and less than 6000 (c3) has three or more amino groups.

Advantageous effects of the invention The paint composition of the present invention forms a coating film that is excellent in terms of sagging resistance during coating, and in terms of finished appearance and resistance to water reddening of the resulting coating film. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The paint composition of the present invention is described in more detail below. Binding component (A) The binder component (A) itself has film-forming properties. The binder component (A) may be non-crosslinkable or crosslinkable; in particular, the binder component (A) is preferably crosslinkable. A known film-forming resin that has been used as a binder component for paint may be used as the binder component (A). Examples of film-forming resins include acrylic resins, polyester resins, alkyd resins, polyurethane resins, and similar compounds. Film-forming resins preferably contain a crosslinkable functional group, such as hydroxy, carboxy, or epoxy. In addition to the film-forming resin, a crosslinking agent can also be used as the binder component (A). When a crosslinking agent is used as part of the binder component (A), a resin (a base resin) containing a crosslinkable functional group, such as hydroxy, carboxy, or epoxy, and capable of forming a crosslinked coating film by reaction with the crosslinking agent, can generally be used as the film-forming resin. From the standpoint of, for example, the water resistance of the resulting coating film, the paint composition of the present invention is preferably a RI QRnn / I 7Π7 / Β / ΥΙΛΙ crosslinkable paint containing the base resin and the crosslinking agent. In particular, the paint composition of the present invention preferably contains a resin containing hydroxyl (Al) as at least a part of the base resin, and a crosslinking agent (A2) reactive with the resin containing hydroxyl as at least a part of the crosslinking agent. Resin containing hydroxy (Al) A resin containing hydroxy(Al) is a resin that has at least one hydroxy group per molecule. Various resins can be referred to as containing hydroxy(Al) resins. Examples include acrylic resins containing hydroxy, polyester resins containing hydroxy, acrylic-modified polyester resins containing hydroxy, polyether resins containing hydroxy, polycarbonate resins containing hydroxy, polyurethane resins containing hydroxy, epoxy resins containing hydroxy, alkyd resins containing hydroxy, and similar resins. These can be used alone or in combination. In particular, from the standpoint of, for example, the water resistance of the resulting coating film, a resin containing hydroxy(Al) is preferably an acrylic resin containing hydroxy(Al-1). Acrylic resin containing hydroxy (Al-1) The acrylic resin containing hydroxyl (Al-1) can be obtained, for example, by copolymerizing a polymerizable unsaturated monomer containing hydroxyl and another polymerizable unsaturated monomer (a polymerizable unsaturated monomer other than the polymerizable unsaturated monomer containing hydroxyl). A polymerizable unsaturated monomer containing hydroxyl is a compound that contains one or more hydroxyl groups and one or more polymerizable unsaturated bonds per molecule. Examples of polymerizable unsaturated monomers containing hydroxyl include monoesterified products of (meth)acrylic acid with a dihydric alcohol having 2 to 8 carbon atoms (e.g., 2-hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate, 3-hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate, and 4-hydroxybutyl (meth)acrylate); ε-caprolactone-modified products of such monoesterified products of (meth)acrylic acid with a dihydric alcohol having 2 to 8 carbon atoms; and adducts of (meth)acrylic acid with an epoxy-containing compound (e.g., Cardura E10P, trade name, produced by Momentive Specialty Chemicals Inc.)., glycidyl ester of neodecanoic acid); N-hydroxymethyl (meth)acrylamide; allyl alcohol; (meth)acrylates including a polyoxyethylene chain terminated in hydroxy; and the like. As another polymerizable unsaturated monomer copolymerizable with the polymerizable unsaturated monomer containing hydroxyl, for example, the monomers ri QRnn / ιζηζ / E / γίΛΐ listed in (1) to (6) below can be used. These polymerizable unsaturated monomers can be used individually or in a combination of two or more.

When an aromatic vinyl monomer is used as a constituent component, the glass transition temperature of the resulting resin is raised, and a hydrophobic coating film with a high refractive index can be obtained. This provides an enhanced finish due to the increased gloss of the coating film. When an aromatic vinyl monomer is used as a constituent component, its proportion is preferably within the range of 3 to 50% by mass, and in particular more preferably 5 to 40% by mass, based on the total amount of the monomer components. ri QRnn / ιζηζ / Ε / γίΛΐ (4) Polymerizable unsaturated monomers containing glycidyl groups A polymerizable unsaturated monomer containing a glycidyl group is a compound that has one or more glycidyl groups and one or more polymerizable unsaturated bonds per molecule.

Examples of vinyl versatas include the commercially available products VEOVA 9 and VEOVA 10 (trade names, produced by Japan Epoxy Resin Co., Ltd.) and similar products. Like other polymerizable unsaturated monomers, those listed in (1) to (6) above can be used individually or in a combination of two or more. The term polymerizable unsaturated monomer, as used in this document, refers to a monomer that has one or more (for example, one to four) polymerizable unsaturated groups. A polymerizable unsaturated group is an unsaturated group that can undergo free-radical polymerization. Examples of polymerizable unsaturated groups include a vinyl group, a (meth)acryloyl group, a (meth)acrylamide group, a vinyl ether group, an allyl group, a propenyl group, an isopropenyl group, a maleimide group, and the like. The term (meth)acrylate, as used in this document, means acrylate or methacrylate. The term (meth)acrylic acid means acrylic acid or methacrylic acid. The term (meth)acryloyl means acryloyl or methacryloyl. The term (meth)acrylamide means acrylamide or methacrylamide. From the point of view of curability and water resistance, the acrylic resin containing hydroxy (Al-1) preferably has a hydroxy value of 70 to 200 mg KOH / g, more preferably 80 to 185 mg KOH / g and even more preferably 100 to 170 mg KOH / g. From the point of view of the final appearance and curability of the coating film, the acrylic resin containing hydroxy (Al-1) preferably has a weight average molecular weight of 2000 to 50000, more preferably 3000 to 30000, and even higher RI QRnn / I 7Π7 / Β / ΥΙΛΙ preferably 4000 to 10000. In this specification, the average molecular weight refers to a value calculated from a chromatogram measured by gel permeation chromatography based on the molecular weight of standard polystyrene. For gel permeation chromatography, HLC8120GPC (produced by Tosoh Corporation) was used. The measurement was carried out using four columns: TSKgel G-4000HXL, TSKgel G-3000HXL, TSKgel G-2500HXL, and TSKgel G-2000HXL (trade names, all produced by Tosoh Corporation) under the following conditions: mobile phase: tetrahydrofuran; measurement temperature: 40°C; flow rate: 1 cc / min; and detector: RI. The glass transition temperature of the acrylic resin containing hydroxy(Al-1) is preferably within the range of -50 to 60°C, more preferably 10 to 50°C, and even more preferably 20 to 45°C, from the point of view of the hardness and finished appearance of the coating film. In this specification, the glass transition temperature (°C) of the acrylic resin was calculated using the following formulas. 1 / Tg (K) = (Wl / Tl) + (W2 / T2) +.....(1) Tg (°C) = Tg (K) - 273 (2) In each formula, Wl, W2, ... represent the mass fractions of the monomers used for copolymerization, and TI, T2, ... represent the Tg (K) of the homopolymers of each of the monomers. TI, T2, ... are the values described in the Polymer Handbook (Second Edition, Brandrup and E.H. Immergut ed.), III-139 to 179. When the Tg of a homopolymer of a monomer is unclear, the glass transition temperature (°C) refers to a static glass transition temperature. For example, a sample is taken in a measuring cup and subjected to vacuum suction to completely remove the solvent, followed by measuring the changes in the amount of heat at a heating rate of 3°C / min over a temperature range of -20 to +200°C using a DSC-220U differential scanning calorimeter (produced by Seiko Instruments Inc.). The initial change point on the baseline at the low-temperature end is considered to be the static glass transition temperature. The acrylic resin containing hydroxyl(Al-1) preferably has an acidity value of 0.5 to 15 mg KOH / g, and more preferably 1 to 10 mg KOH / g, from the point of view, for example, of the shelf life of the paint composition and the final appearance. The method for copolymerizing the monomer mixture to obtain the acrylic resin containing hydroxy(Al-1) is not particularly limited, and known copolymerization methods can be used. Among these, a solution polymerization method is preferred, in which the polymerization is carried out in an organic solvent in the presence of a polymerization initiator. Examples of organic solvents used in the solution polymerization method include toluene, xylene, Swasol 1000 (trade name, produced by Cosmo Oil Co., Ltd., a high-boiling-point oil-based solvent), and similar aromatic solvents; ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, propyl propionate, butyl propionate, l-methoxy-2-propyl acetate, 2-ethoxyethyl propionate, 3-methoxybutyl acetate, ethylene glycol ethyl ether acetate, propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, and similar ester-based solvents; methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, methyl amyl ketone, and similar ketone-based solvents; isopropanol, n-butanol, isobutanol, 2-ethylhexanol, and similar alcohol-based solvents; and the like. These organic solvents can be used individually or in combination. From the standpoint of acrylic resin solubility, ester-based and ketone-based solvents are preferable. An aromatic solvent can also be used appropriately in combination. Examples of polymerization initiators used to copolymerize the acrylic resin containing hydroxy(Al-1) include known radical polymerization initiators such as 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile, benzoyl peroxide, di-t-butyl peroxide, di-t-amyl peroxide, t-butyl peroctoate, 2,2'-azobis(2-methylbutyronitrile) and 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethylvallenitrile). Acrylic resins containing hydroxyl (Al-1) can be used alone or in a combination of two or more. Secondary acrylic resin containing hydroxy (Al-la) From the point of view of the final appearance of the resulting coating film, a secondary acrylic resin containing hydroxyl (Al-la) can also be used appropriately as one of the modalities of the acrylic resin containing hydroxyl (Al-1). The secondary acrylic resin containing hydroxyl (Al-la) can be produced, for example, using a polymerizable unsaturated monomer containing secondary hydroxyl such as a type of polymerizable unsaturated monomer containing hydroxyl described above in the method for producing the acrylic resin containing hydroxyl (Al-1). Examples of polymerizable unsaturated monomers containing secondary hydroxyl groups include polymerizable unsaturated monomers having a secondary hydroxyl group whose alkyl group in the ester radical has 2 to 8, preferably 3 to 6, and more preferably 3 or 4 carbon atoms, such as 2-hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate, 2-hydroxybutyl (meth)acrylate, and 3-hydroxybutyl (meth)acrylate; adducts of (meth)acrylic acid with an epoxy-containing compound (e.g., Cardura E10P, trade name, produced by Momentive Specialty Chemicals Inc., ri QRnn / ιζηζ / E / γίΛΐ neodecanoic acid glycidyl ester); and the like. These may be used alone or in a combination of two or more. From the point of view of the finished appearance of the resulting coating film, 2-hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate is preferably used. When the above-described secondary hydroxy-containing polymerizable unsaturated monomer is used to produce the secondary hydroxy-containing acrylic resin (Al-la), the amount of the secondary hydroxy-containing polymerizable unsaturated monomer is preferably within the range of 15 to 45% by mass and more preferably 20 to 40% by mass, based on the total amount of copolymerizable monomeric components that constitute the secondary hydroxy-containing acrylic resin (Al-la), from the point of view of the final appearance of the resulting coating film.

Acrylic resin containing hydroxy and alkoxysilyl (Al-lb) As another form of acrylic resin containing hydroxy (Al-1), an acrylic resin containing hydroxy and alkoxysilyl (Al-lb) can preferably be used from the point of view of the scratch resistance of the resulting coating film. Hydroxy- and alkoxysilyl-containing acrylic resin (Al-lb) is a resin that has at least one hydroxy group and at least one alkoxysilyl group per molecule. The use of acrylic resin containing hydroxy and alkoxysilyl (Al-lb) forms a crosslink due to a condensation reaction between alkoxysilyl groups and a reaction between an alkoxysilyl group and a hydroxyl group, thus increasing the curability of the coating film. Examples of the alkoxy radical of the alkoxysilyl group present in acrylic resin containing hydroxy and alkoxysilyl (Al-lb) include an alkoxy radical having approximately 1 to 6 carbon atoms, preferably approximately 1 to 3 carbon atoms, such as methoxy, ethoxy, and propoxy.

The acrylic resin containing hydroxy and alkoxysilyl (Al-lb) can be obtained, for example, by using an unsaturated polymerizable monomer containing alkoxysilyl as a type of unsaturated polymerizable monomer and other unsaturated polymerizable monomers in the method for producing the acrylic resin containing hydroxy (Al-1). An alkoxysilyl-containing polymerizable unsaturated monomer is a compound that has at least one alkoxysilyl group and at least one polymerizable unsaturated bond per molecule.

These polymerizable unsaturated monomers containing alkoxysilyl can be used alone or in combination with two or more. Specifically, acrylic resin containing hydroxyl and alkoxysilyl (Al-lb) can be obtained, for example, by copolymerizing the polymerizable unsaturated monomer containing hydroxyl, the polymerizable unsaturated monomer containing alkoxysilyl, and other polymerizable unsaturated monomers (polymerizable unsaturated monomers other than the polymerizable unsaturated monomer containing hydroxyl and the polymerizable unsaturated monomer containing alkoxysilyl). Other polymerizable unsaturated monomers that can be used in the copolymerization include, for example, other polymerizable unsaturated monomers (1) to (6) for use in obtaining the acrylic resin containing hydroxyl (Al-1). The polymerizable unsaturated monomers can be used alone or in combination with two or more. When producing the acrylic resin containing hydroxy and alkoxysilyl (Al-lb), the amount of RI QRnn / I7P7 / E / YILI polymerizable unsaturated monomer containing hydroxyl for use is preferably within the range of 5 to 60% by mass, more preferably 15 to 50% by mass, and even more preferably 25 to 45% by mass, based on the total amount of copolymerizable monomeric components constituting the hydroxyl and alkoxysilyl (Al-lb) containing acrylic resin from the point of view of scratch resistance, water resistance, curability and final appearance of the resulting coating film. The hydroxyl value of the acrylic resin containing hydroxyl and alkoxysilyl (Al-lb) is preferably within the range of 70 to 200 mg KOH / g, more preferably 80 to 190 mg KOH / g and even more preferably 100 to 180 mg KOH / g from the point of view of scratch resistance, water resistance, curability and finished appearance of the resulting coating film. Secondary acrylic resin containing hydroxy and alkoxysilyl (Al-lc) As another form of acrylic resin containing hydroxy (Al-1), a secondary acrylic resin containing hydroxy and alkoxysilyl (Al-lc) can be used from the point of view of the finished appearance and scratch resistance of the resulting coating film. The secondary acrylic resin containing hydroxy and alkoxysilyl (Al-lc) is included in the secondary acrylic resin containing hydroxy (Al-la) and also in the acrylic resin containing hydroxy and alkoxysilyl (Al-lb). The secondary acrylic resin containing hydroxy and alkoxysilyl (Al-lc) can be produced, for example, using a polymerizable unsaturated monomer containing secondary hydroxy (e.g., a polymerizable unsaturated monomer containing secondary hydroxy usable in the production of the secondary acrylic resin containing hydroxy (Al-la)) as a type of polymerizable unsaturated monomer containing hydroxy in the method for producing the acrylic resin containing hydroxy and alkoxysilyl (Al-lb). When the above-described secondary hydroxy-containing polymerizable unsaturated monomer is used in the production of the secondary hydroxy- and alkoxysilyl-containing acrylic resin (Al-lc), the amount of the secondary hydroxy-containing polymerizable unsaturated monomer for use is preferably within the range of 15 to 45% by mass, and more preferably 20 to 40% by mass based on the total amount of copolymerizable monomeric components constituting the secondary hydroxy- and alkoxysilyl-containing acrylic resin (Allc) from the point of view of the final appearance of the resulting coating film. In the production of secondary acrylic resin containing hydroxy and alkoxysilyl (Allc), the content of the polymerizable unsaturated monomer containing secondary hydroxy in the total amount of polymerizable unsaturated monomer containing hydroxy is preferably within RI QRnn / I7P7 / E / YILI of the range of 50 to 100% by mass, more preferably from 55 to 100% by mass, and even more preferably from 60 to 100% by mass from the point of view of water resistance and the final appearance of the resulting coating film.

This second rheology control agent (C) contained in the paint composition is intended to act as a rheology control agent with a fine crystalline structure, forming a dense network within the paint composition to exert sag control capabilities, thereby improving sag resistance during coating and the final appearance of the resulting coating film. Furthermore, the fine crystalline structure enhances solubility during coating film formation; therefore, a coating film with excellent resistance to water reddening is formed.

For example, the total solids content of the paint composition can be calculated as follows. The paint composition is measured in a heat-resistant container, such as an aluminum foil cup, spread on the bottom of the container, and then dried at 110°C for 1 hour. The mass of the components remaining in the paint composition after drying is then measured to determine the ratio of the mass of the components remaining after drying to the total mass of the paint composition before drying.

As with basecoat paint, other types of paints can also be used, such as water-based paint, organic solvent-based paint, or powder coating. From the perspective of the finished appearance of the coating film and a reduction in environmental impact, water-based paint is preferable. When two or more transparent coating films are formed in the method for forming a multi-layer coating film, the paint of the present invention or known thermosetting transparent coating paint can be used as a clear coat paint to form a layer distinct from the top layer.

Test method Finished appearance: The final appearance of each test panel was evaluated based on a long wave (LW) value measured using a wave scanner (trade name, produced by BYK Gardner). The lower the LW value, the smoother the coating surface. Water reddening resistance: The water reddening resistance of each test panel was evaluated based on the difference in L* values measured with a CM-512m3 (trade name, produced by Konica Minolta, Inc., a multi-angle spectrophotometer) before and after immersion in hot water. In this test, the L* value was obtained by summing the L* values obtained when the panel was illuminated with standard D65 illuminant from three angles: 25° (highlighting direction), 45°, and 75° (downward direction), relative to the angle of reception (the direction perpendicular to the coated surface was considered 0°). After the L* values were measured, the test panel was immersed in hot water at 40°C for 10 days. The L* values of the test panel were measured after immersion, and the difference AL* between the L* values before and after immersion was calculated.A smaller AL* value indicates less reddening of the coating due to immersion in hot water and represents greater resistance to reddening with water. Buckling resistance: Each test panel was examined to determine the areas where 3 mm of buckling of the coating composition was observed from the bottom of each drill hole. Buckling resistance was assessed by measuring the film thickness (buckling limit film thickness (pm)) in these areas. The greater the buckling limit film thickness, the better the buckling resistance. ri QRnn / ιζηζ / E / γίΛΐ TABLE 3 Example 1 2 3 4 5 6 Paint Composition No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Main Agent Binder Component (A) Hydroxy-containing resin (Al) Hydroxy-containing acrylic resin (Al1) Hydroxy-containing acrylic resin (Al-11) 50.7 50.7 50.7 50.7 50.7 50.7 Crosslinking Agent (A2) Amino resin U-VAN 20SE60 4 4 4 4 4 4 First Dispersion of Rheology Control Agent Name BM-1 BM-2 BM-2 BM-2 BM-2 BM-2 Quantity 3 3 3 3 3 3 Second Dispersion of Rheology Control Agent Name CM-1 CM1 CM-2 CM-3 CM-4 CM-5 Quantity 8 0.20 0.20 0.20 0.20 0.20 Surface Adjustment Agent BYK- 300 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.2 Catalyst NACUR E 5523 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 Curing agent Binder component (A) Crosslinking agent (A2) Polyisocyanate compound 0 Sumidur N3300 35 35 35 35 35 35 Content of components (A), (B), and (C) (parts Binder component (A) Hydroxy-containing resin (Al) 61 61 61 61 61 61 Crosslinking agent (A2) 39 39 39 39 39 39 First rheology control agent (B) 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3.
