[0001] Related applications must be cross-referenced.

[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202411912742.1, filed on December 23, 2024, entitled “A Coating Composition and its Preparation Method and Application”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This application relates to the field of coating technology, and in particular to a coating composition, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0004] With economic development and improved living standards, people have increasingly higher requirements for home appliances, especially kitchen appliances that come into frequent and prolonged contact with various oil stains, seasonings, acids, and alkalis. For example, gas stoves and range hoods are exposed to high and low temperatures and heavy oil stains for extended periods, requiring frequent and irregular cleaning. Currently, most gas stove and range hood panels are made of glass, making them difficult to clean once oil stains adhere. The relevant technology involves applying an easy-clean coating to the glass surface. However, existing easy-clean coating technologies have not yet reached the level expected by the market. Some products on the market have poor stability, and their oleophobic effect gradually diminishes during use, leading to problems such as poor high-temperature resistance and poor wear resistance of the coating.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a coating composition that is resistant to high temperatures, wear, and easy to clean. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This application aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the first aspect of this application proposes a coating composition, wherein the coating prepared by the coating composition has the effects of high temperature resistance, wear resistance and easy cleaning.

[0107] In some embodiments of this application, the household appliance includes a range hood, a cooktop, a dishwasher, a microwave oven, or an oven.

[0108] In some embodiments of this application, the temperature resistance of the coating is determined by the water contact angle method, that is, the prepared coating is heated to 250°C in an oven and held at that temperature for 144 hours, and then its water contact angle is tested. If the water contact angle is less than 90°, it is determined that the temperature resistance is lost. The higher the temperature, the better the high temperature resistance of the coating.

[0109] In some embodiments of this application, the water contact angle of the coating formed by the coating composition of this application is greater than 101°.

[0110] In some embodiments of this application, the coating formed by the coating composition of this application has a water contact angle attenuation of ≤3.7° after being exposed to 250°C and held at that temperature for 144 hours.

[0111] In some embodiments of this application, the wear resistance of the coating is determined by the water contact angle method, that is, the prepared coating is wet-rubbed with a 1.5kg load for 50,000 cycles and then the water contact angle is tested to check the degree of attenuation of the water contact angle before and after the wear resistance test. The lower the attenuation, the better the wear resistance.

[0112] In some embodiments of this application, the coating formed by the coating composition of this application has a water contact angle attenuation of ≤3.4° after 50,000 wet grinding cycles under a 1.5kg load.

[0171] Performance testing

[0172] The coatings from Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were prepared into coatings using the following specific processes:

[0173] 1. Wipe the surface of the glass plate with a cotton cloth soaked in ethanol, and after the surface dries, treat the surface with plasma to obtain a pretreated glass panel.

[0174] 2. Pour the coatings prepared in the examples and comparative examples into the spray guns and spray them evenly onto the surface of the pretreated glass panel. Place the sprayed glass panel in a 140°C oven and keep it warm for 60 minutes. After removing it and cooling it to room temperature, the coating (thickness is 100nm±20) is obtained.

[0175] The prepared coating was subjected to the following tests: the test results are shown in Table 6.

[0176] Water contact angle test: The test was conducted using a fully automatic water contact angle tester.

[0177] Abrasion resistance test: Wet abrasion was performed 50,000 times with a 1.5kg load, and then the water contact angle was tested.

[0178] High temperature resistance: The water contact angle was tested after the coating was placed in an environment of 250℃ for 144 hours.

[0179] Table 6

[0180] As shown in Table 6, the coatings prepared from the paint compositions of Examples 1-10 have a water contact angle >101° and are easy to clean. After abrasion resistance testing, the attenuation of the water contact angle is within 3.4°, indicating excellent abrasion resistance. After being subjected to a high-temperature environment of 250°C for 144 hours, the attenuation of the water contact angle of the coating is controlled within 3.7°.

[0181] Based on the data from Comparative Example 1, when the raw materials in the silicone fluoropolymer lack perfluorinated compounds, the coating prepared from the coating composition of Comparative Example 1 exhibits poor water contact angle performance, as well as poor abrasion resistance and high-temperature resistance.

[0182] Based on the data from Comparative Example 2, when silica sol E was used to replace fluorosilane-modified nano silica sol A in the raw material of the fluorosilicone resin, the coating prepared by the coating composition of Comparative Example 2 had poor water contact angle performance, poor wear resistance, and poor high temperature resistance.

[0183] Based on the data from Comparative Example 3, when the raw materials in the silicone resin do not contain vinyl fluorosilicone oil, the coating prepared from the coating composition of Comparative Example 3 has poor water contact angle performance, as well as poor abrasion resistance and high temperature resistance.

[0184] In summary, the fluorosilane-modified nano-silica sol, fluorosilicone oil, and perfluorinated compounds used in this application to prepare a fluorosilicone resin exhibit high-temperature resistance and hydrophobic properties. The coating formed by combining the resin with a silane coupling agent demonstrates high adhesion to the substrate, high density, and good wear resistance and high-temperature resistance. The prepared fluorosilicone resin, combined with a silane coupling agent and solvent, forms a coating that, when applied to a glass substrate, provides high-temperature resistance, wear resistance, and easy cleaning.
