Abstract
Description
100%SOLID UV CURABLE COATING COMPOSITIONTECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of coatings, specially to a 100%solid UV curable coating.BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid popularization of new energy electric vehicles around the world, automobile manufacturers pay more and more attention to the safety of batteries, requiring the dielectric film to have characteristics of high lap shear strength (LSS) , good electrolyte resistance, long-term stability, high voltage resistance, etc. At present, blue film coatings are commonly used for the battery dielectric property. However, the blue film has poor performance in corner coverage, high voltage resistance, long-term stability, LSS and adhesion, and has potential leakage and fire hazards. Dielectric coatings provide an alternative solution to traditional blue films. However, current commercial dielectric coatings generally contain organic solvents such as benzene and xylene. Powder coatings need to be cured at a temperature above 130℃ for a curing time exceeding 20 minutes, and the application process is complicated. Therefore, it is desired to develop a dielectric coating that is low-solvent, easy to apply, and has excellent mechanical properties.SUMMARY

The coating composition has low VOC, curable property at room temperature, good edge coverage, high LSS, high voltage resistance, good electrolyte resistance, and environmental aging resistance, which meets the demands of battery environmental applications.

[0008] As used herein, unless expressly stated otherwise, it should be understood that the numbers used in the description and claim, such as, those representing values, ranges, contents, or percentages, can be varied in all substances by the term “about” , even if this term is not clearly specified. Thus, unless indicated to the contrary, the numerical parameters listed in the description and claims herein are all approximations, and can be varied depending upon the properties to be obtained by the present invention.
[0009] Although the numerical ranges and parameters listing the broad scope of the present invention are approximations, the numerical records listed in the particular examples should be reported as precisely as possible. However, any numerical value inherently has a certain error. The error is an inevitable consequence of standard deviation found in its corresponding measurement method.

For example, a range of “1 to 10” is intended to include all the sub-ranges between the minimum value of 1 (inclusive) and the maximum value of 10 (inclusive) , namely, it has a minimum value equal to or great than 1 and a maximum value equal to or less than 10.

[0049] The coating compositions of the Examples 1-5 and the Comparative Examples 1-6 were coated on an aluminum alloy substrate 3003 of 1 mm thickness individually, and then cured under the following conditions: first curing with a LED lamp or Ga lamp at 800-1,500 mJ / cm2, followed by a second curing with a Fe lamp at 5,500-12,000 mJ / cm2. The cured coating has a thickness of 110±10 μm.
[0050] The coated substrates were tested for the following performances: 1-Electrolyte Resistance
[0051] The coated substrate was soaked in an electrolyte (comprising dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, vinyl carbonate) at room temperature (20-25℃) for 30 days, and then tested for leakage current, adhesion, and shear strength of the coating.
[0052] Requirements: with a circular electrode having a diameter of 25 mm, the leakage current within 60s is less than 0.5mA under AC 4kV; no breakdown within 60s under DC 5kV; adhesion of 0-1 level; and the shear strength (determined according to ISO 4587-2003) is greater than 9 MPa. 2-Impact Resistance
[0053] The impact resistance of the coating was determined according to GB / T 1732-2020 standard. Specifically, 1 kg weight was applied for positive impact, making that the impacted part was located not less than 15 mm from the coating edge and the edge of each impact point is not less than 15 mm apart, and then the surface appearance of the coating was observed and the leakage current of the coating was tested.
[0054] Requirements: no crack occurred on the surface of the coating; with a 25 mm diameter circular electrode, the leakage current within 60s is less than 0.5 mA under AC 4kV; and no breakdown within 60s under DC 5kV. 3-Adhesion
[0055] The adhesion of the coating was determined according to GB / T 9286-2021 standard. 4-Abrasive resistance
[0056] The abrasive resistance of the coating was determined according to the GB / T 1768-2006 standard. Specifically, the test load was 1 kg, CS7 grinding wheel was used, and the rate was 50 r / min. The leakage current of the coating after 3000 turns was tested.
[0057] Requirements: With a 25 mm diameter circular electrode, the leakage current within 60s is less than 0.5mA under AC 4kV; and no breakdown within 60s under DC 5kV.
[0058] The above test results are summarized in Table 3 below. Table 3. Performance Tests Results of Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-6 *The results of the Impact Resistance test show that the coating film can meet the requirements of no crack and leakage current after impact from the listed height.
[0059] It can be seen from the above, the 100%solid UV curable coating composition of the present invention provided excellent performances of electrolyte resistance, impact resistance, abrasive resistance and high adhesion by formulation design. For the Comparative Example 1, the polyurethane acrylate resin alone was used instead of the combination of the phenolic modified epoxy acrylate resin and the polyurethane acrylate resin, resulting in that the electrolyte resistance and abrasive resistance were not met; and, the Comparative Example 2 using polyurethane acrylate resin in combination with 2 functional epoxy acrylate cannot meet the requirements of electrolyte resistance and abrasive resistance, with impact resistance being also declined. The monomer in the Comparative Example 3 is tripropylene glycol diacrylate and hydroxyethyl acrylate, producing poor electrolyte resistance and abrasive resistance. In addition, only tripropylene glycol diacrylate is used as monomer for the Comparative Example 4, and the electrolyte resistance and abrasive resistance of the coating are not qualified. In the Comparative Example 5 adopting one photo initiator, the electrolyte resistance, abrasive resistance and adhesion of the coating are not met for requirements. For the Comparative Example 6, no adhesion promoter / coupling agent is used so that the adhesion of the coating becomes poor.
[0060] Although specific aspects of the invention have been illustrated and described, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various other variations and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Thus, the accompanying claims are intended to encompass all of these variations and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention.
