Anticorrosion coating composition

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

[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses a paint containing a metal sulfate and at least one metal powder selected from the group consisting of zinc and zinc alloys.

[0003] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2021-167379

[0004] Paints containing zinc and zinc alloys have high corrosion resistance, but zinc and zinc alloys are generally not white, limiting the design of the finish.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide an anticorrosion coating composition which has excellent anticorrosion properties and allows for a high degree of freedom in color design.

[0006] The present invention provides the following aspects: [1] An anticorrosion coating composition comprising an epoxy resin (a), a polyamine (b), and a powder (c), wherein the powder (c) comprises: a metal sulfate (c-1) having a solubility of 0.1 g or more in 100 g of water at 5°C, and a white zinc compound (c-2) having a solubility of 0.005 g or less in 100 g of water at a pH greater than 5.0 and at 20°C, and a solubility of 0.05 g or more in 100 g of water at a pH of 5.0 or less and at 20°C, wherein the content of the metal sulfate (c-1) is 0.05% by mass or more and 20% by mass or less of the solid content of the anticorrosion coating composition, and the content of the zinc compound (c-2) is 5% by mass or more and 60% by mass or less of the solid content of the anticorrosion coating composition. [2] The anticorrosion coating composition of [1] above, wherein the powder (c) further contains an alkaline earth metal compound (c-3) which is at least one of an alkaline earth metal oxide and an alkaline earth metal hydroxide. [3] The anticorrosion coating composition of [2] above, wherein the content of the alkaline earth metal compound (c-3) is 0.05 mass% or more and 20 mass% or less of the solid content of the anticorrosion coating composition. [4] The anticorrosion coating composition of [2] or [3] above, wherein the alkaline earth metal compound (c-3) contains at least one selected from the group consisting of calcium oxide, calcium hydroxide, barium oxide, and barium hydroxide. [5] The anticorrosion coating composition of any of [1] to [4] above, wherein the metal sulfate (c-1) is a salt of a polyvalent metal cation and a sulfate ion. [6] The anticorrosion coating composition of any one of [1] to [5] above, wherein the metal sulfate (c-1) comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of nickel sulfate, aluminum sulfate, magnesium sulfate, zinc sulfate, cobalt sulfate, chromium sulfate, copper sulfate, titanium sulfate, tin sulfate, zirconium sulfate, vanadium sulfate, and manganese sulfate. [7] The anticorrosion coating composition of any one of [1] to [6] above, wherein the zinc compound (c-2) comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of zinc oxide, zinc hydroxide, and zinc carbonate.

[0007] According to the present invention, there is provided an anticorrosion coating composition which has excellent anticorrosion properties and allows for a high degree of freedom in color design.

[0008] The anticorrosion coating composition of the present disclosure comprises an epoxy resin (a), a polyamine (b), and a powder (c), wherein the powder (c) comprises a metal sulfate (c-1) having a solubility of 0.1 g or more in 100 g of water at 5° C., and a white zinc compound (c-2) having a solubility of 0.005 g or less in 100 g of water at a pH greater than 5.0 and at 20° C., and a solubility of 0.05 g or more in 100 g of water at a pH of 5.0 or less and at 20° C.

[0009] The content of the metal sulfate (c-1) is from 0.05 to 20% by mass of the solid content of the anticorrosion coating composition, and the content of the zinc compound (c-2) is from 5 to 60% by mass of the solid content of the anticorrosion coating composition.

[0010] The metal sulfate (c-1) dissolves in water, eluting metal ions and sulfate ions. The zinc compound (c-2) dissolves due to the action of sulfate ions and the generation of hydrogen ions through hydrolysis of the metal ions, generating zinc ions. The zinc ions react with chloride ions (contained in airborne salt, rainwater, or rust on the surface of the substrate, which promote corrosion) and trap the chloride ions. The reaction between zinc ions and chloride ions generates, for example, basic zinc chloride. Reaction products such as basic zinc chloride form a water-stable coating (hereinafter referred to as the "anti-corrosion layer") within the coating. The anti-corrosion layer provides high corrosion protection.

[0011] Anticorrosion coating compositions are usually used as undercoats (primers). In recent years, due to the diversification of applications and preferences and the pursuit of originality, the designs required for finish coatings have become more diverse. Because the zinc compound (c-2) is white, the finish coating can be designed to have a desired design (particularly, a desired hue). The ability to select the design of the finish coating without being limited by the color of the primer is one of the important appealing points to consumers.

[0012] The L of a 60 μm thick primer coating formed from the anticorrosion coating composition of the present disclosure * a * b * L in color system * Value, a * value and b * The value is L *≧70, 0≦a * ≦5.0, and 0≦b * This primer coating film has a hue that can be used for a light-colored top coat. In other words, there is a high degree of freedom in color design, and the finish coating can be designed as desired.

[0013] The above L * Value, a * value and b * The values ​​are the values ​​of the primer coating film obtained by spraying the anticorrosion coating composition onto degreased SPCC-SB (cold rolled steel plate with a bright finish as specified in JIS G 3141:2017) to a dry film thickness of 60 μm, and then drying it at 23°C for one week. * Value, a * value and b * The value can be obtained by a spectrophotometer (for example, CR-400 manufactured by Konica Minolta, Inc.) The anticorrosion coating composition may contain a white pigment (typically, titanium oxide).

[0014] (Anti-corrosion coating composition) The anti-corrosion coating composition may be a two-component type consisting of a base agent containing an epoxy resin (a) and a curing agent containing a polyamine (b). The powder (c) may be contained in the base agent, in the curing agent, or in both. The powder (c) may be contained in the base agent.

[0016] The weight average molecular weight is measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC).

[0017] The active hydrogen equivalent of the polyamine is determined based on the mass of the solid content in accordance with JIS K 7237:1995.

[0018] The solid content of the anticorrosion coating composition is the total content of the coating composition excluding volatile components (typically, solvents).

[0025] The solid content of the epoxy resin (a) is, for example, 15% by mass or more and 60% by mass or less of the solid content of the anticorrosion coating composition. When the content of the epoxy resin (a) is 15% by mass or more, curability can be improved. When the content of the epoxy resin (a) is 60% by mass or less, the relative proportion of the pigment in the coating film increases, thereby improving hiding power.

When the alicyclic polyamine (b-1) and the non-alicyclic polyamine (b-2) are used in combination, dissolution and lifting of the primer coating film is easily suppressed when another coating film is laminated on the primer coating film formed from the corrosion-protective coating composition.

[0031] Examples of the alicyclic polyamine (b-1) include 1,4-cyclohexanediamine, 4,4'-methylenebiscyclohexylamine, 4,4'-isopropylidenebiscyclohexylamine, norbornadiamine, bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane, diaminodicyclohexylmethane, isophoronediamine, menthenediamine (MDA), and 1,3-bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0032] The active hydrogen equivalent of the alicyclic polyamine (b-1) is, for example, 30 g / eq or more and 150 g / eq or less. When the active hydrogen equivalent of the alicyclic polyamine (b-1) is 30 g / eq or more, curability can be improved. When the active hydrogen equivalent of the alicyclic polyamine (b-1) is 150 g / eq or less, barrier properties can be improved.

[0045] Powder (c) functions as a rust inhibitor. By using a specific metal sulfate (c-1) in combination with a zinc compound (c-2), excellent corrosion prevention is obtained as described above, and the degree of freedom in color design is increased.

[0046] The average particle size of the powder (c) is, for example, 0.1 μm or more and 40 μm or less. The average particle size of the powder (c) may be 5 μm or more. The average particle size of the powder (c) may be 20 μm or less.

[0047] The average particle size of the powder (c) is calculated as follows. A composition containing an epoxy resin (a), a polyamine (b), and a metal sulfate (c-1) in a predetermined ratio is applied to a polished steel plate to form a dry coating film of 100 μm or more, and then dried. The cross section of the resulting coating film in the thickness direction is observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The maximum diameters in a specific direction of 200 particles of the metal sulfate (c-1) observed in the image are measured, and the average value is calculated. This average value is the average particle size of the metal sulfate (c-1). The average particle sizes of the zinc compound (c-2) and the alkaline earth metal compound (c-3) described below can also be determined in the same manner.

[0048] Metal sulfate (c-1) The metal sulfate (c-1) has a dissolution amount of 0.1 g or more in 100 g of water at 5°C. The metal sulfate (c-1) is easily soluble in water even in a low-temperature environment, and therefore can promote the formation of a rust-preventive layer. The dissolution amount of the metal sulfate (c-1) may be 5.0 g or more, or may be 10.0 g or more.

[0049] The metal sulfate (c-1) may be a salt of a polyvalent metal cation and a sulfate ion. The polyvalent metal cation (hereinafter referred to as "polyvalent cation") coexists with the iron ion generated from the metal substrate, thereby forming a dense and electrochemically stable anticorrosive layer.

[0050] Examples of metals constituting the metal sulfate (c-1) include alkaline earth metals, transition metals, and post-transition metals. These metals generate polyvalent cations. These metals may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0051] Alkaline earth metals are elements in Group 2 of the periodic table. Specific examples of alkaline earth metals include magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), and strontium (St). Transition metals are metallic elements that exist between Groups 3 and 11 of the periodic table. Specific examples of transition metals include scandium (Sc), titanium (Ti), vanadium (V), chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), yttrium (Y), zirconium (Zr), niobium (Nb), molybdenum (Mo), technetium (Tc), ruthenium (Ru), rhodium (Rh), palladium (Pd), silver (Ag), cadmium (Cd), hafnium (Hf), tantalum (Ta), tungsten (W), rhenium (Re), osmium (Os), iridium (Ir), platinum (Pt), gold (Au), mercury (Hg), rutherfordium (Rf), dubnium (Db), seaborgium (Sg), bohrium (Bh), and hassium (Hs). Post-transition metals are metal elements in the P-block of the periodic table. Specific examples of post-transition metals include aluminum (Al), gallium (Ga), indium (In), tin (Sn), thallium (Tl), lead (Pb), bismuth (Bi), polonium (Po), and astatine (At). From the viewpoint of solubility, the metal may be magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), nickel (Ni), or zinc (Zn). These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0052] Examples of the metal sulfate (c-1) include nickel sulfate, aluminum sulfate, magnesium sulfate, zinc sulfate, cobalt sulfate, chromium sulfate, copper sulfate, titanium sulfate, tin sulfate, zirconium sulfate, vanadium sulfate, and manganese sulfate. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0053] The content of the metal sulfate (c-1) is 0.05 mass% or more and 20 mass% or less of the solid content of the anticorrosion coating composition. When the content of the metal sulfate (c-1) is 0.05 mass% or more, the effects of the metal sulfate (c-1) are exerted. When the content of the metal sulfate (c-1) is 20 mass% or less, the barrier properties are further improved and the coating film properties are also improved.

[0054] The content of the metal sulfate (c-1) may be 0.1% by mass or more, 0.5% by mass or more, or 1.0% by mass or more. The content of the metal sulfate (c-1) may be 15.0% by mass or less, 12.0% by mass or less, 8.0% by mass or less, or 5.0% by mass or less.

[0055] Zinc compound (c-2) The zinc compound (c-2) provides zinc ions to the coating film. The zinc compound (c-2) dissolves in 100 g of water at 20°C at a pH greater than 5.0 in an amount of 0.005 g or less, and in 100 g of water at 20°C at a pH of 5.0 or less in an amount of 0.05 g or more. The zinc ions react with chloride ions to form a rust-preventive layer.

[0056] The zinc compound (c-2) is white. The white zinc compound (c-2) does not restrict the color of the finish coating, thereby increasing the degree of freedom in color design.

[0057] The zinc compound (c-2) has a low solubility in 100 g of water at 20°C in the range from approximately neutral to alkaline. Therefore, dissolution of the zinc compound (c-2) is suppressed in an environment where corrosion is unlikely to progress. On the other hand, in the acidic range, the zinc compound (c-2) has a high solubility in 100 g of water at 20°C. The zinc compound (c-2) dissolves and exerts its effect as the pH decreases due to the dissolution of the metal sulfate (c-1).

[0058] Examples of the zinc compound (c-2) include zinc oxide, zinc hydroxide, and zinc carbonate. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. From the viewpoint of hiding power, zinc oxide may be included. The zinc compound (c-2) does not include metallic zinc, zinc alloys, or zinc sulfate.

[0059] The content of the zinc compound (c-2) is not particularly limited. The content of the zinc compound (c-2) is, for example, 5% by mass or more and 60% by mass or less of the solid content of the anticorrosion coating composition. When the content of the zinc compound (c-2) is 5% by mass or more, the effect of the zinc compound (c-2) is easily exhibited. When the content of the zinc compound (c-2) is 60% by mass or less, the film-forming properties are not impaired.

[0060] The content of the zinc compound (c-2) may be 10.0% by mass or more, or 15.0% by mass or more. The content of the zinc compound (c-2) may be 55.0% by mass or less, 50.0% by mass or less, 45.0% by mass or less, or 30.0% by mass or less.

[0061] Alkaline earth metal compound (c-3) The powder (c) may contain an alkaline earth metal compound (c-3). The alkaline earth metal compound (c-3) is at least one of an oxide and a hydroxide of an alkaline earth metal. The alkaline earth metal compound (c-3) dissolves in water, eluting alkaline earth metal ions and their counter ions. The alkaline earth metal ions react with sulfate ions to form salts that are poorly soluble in water.

[0062] As described above, sulfate ions promote the formation of an anticorrosive layer, but if they act directly on the substrate, they can promote corrosion of the substrate. By blending alkaline earth metal compound (c-3) together with metal sulfate (c-1), corrosion of the substrate caused by sulfate ions is suppressed, and the occurrence of red rust is suppressed.
