Description

Paint composition and in-mold coating method

[0001] This disclosure relates to a paint composition and an in-mold coating method.

[0002] Conventionally, to impart excellent appearance and performance to a substrate surface, a coating composition is applied to the substrate surface, and the resulting wet coating is cured to form a coating film. In recent years, from the perspective of reducing environmental impact, there has been a demand for reducing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the coating composition and reducing air conditioning energy used during painting.

[0003] Generally, automobile bodies consist of metal materials that form the body and resin materials that form bumpers and other parts. In recent years, due to improvements in the strength of resin materials, there has been a shift from metal materials to lighter resin materials in parts that previously used metal materials. Among these, the application of polycarbonate resin materials, which have excellent weather resistance and impact resistance, is being considered, but because they have the drawback of being easily scratched, it is common to protect the surface of the resin material with paint. There are various methods for painting resin materials, and one of them is in-mold coating. In-mold coating is a painting method in which, after molding the resin material in a mold, paint is injected between the molded product and the inner wall of the mold, and after the paint has hardened, the molded product with the painted film is removed from the mold. In this painting method, painting and hardening are carried out in a closed system. In this painting method, it is required to be virtually solvent-free in order to avoid defects in the paint film such as air bubbles.

[0004] In the above-mentioned in-mold coating, scratch resistance of the coating film, high adhesion between the coating film and the resin material, and release properties of the coating film from the mold are required.

[0005] Patent Document 1 describes a two-component coating material composition comprising a paint base component A and a curing component B, wherein the paint base component A is: i. one or more polyols A1 selected from the group of polyols containing ester groups, having a hydroxyl value of 300 to 500 mg KOH / g and a hydroxyl group functional value of more than 2; ii. a polyol of general formula (I) R that does not contain ether groups and ester groups. 1-(OH) p (I) (wherein, R 1 is a p-valent branched, cyclic or linear, saturated or unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon radical having 5 to 18 carbon atoms, and the radical R 1 optionally contains one or more tertiary amino groups, and p is 2 to 6) one or more aliphatic polyols A2, iii. General formula (II) R 2 -(C=O) r -O-(AO) s -R 3 (II) (wherein, R 2 is a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon radical having 6 to 30 carbon atoms, R 3 is H, the radical PO(OH) 2, or optionally partially phosphorylated monosaccharide or disaccharide radical or optionally partially phosphorylated algitol radical, where AO represents one or more alkylene oxide radicals selected from the group consisting of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, and butylene oxide, r is 0 or 1, and s is 0 to 30) one or more species A3, iv. One or more crosslinking catalysts A4 selected from the group consisting of organotin compounds, v. Any one or more polyamines A5 having at least two secondary amino groups and an amine value of 120 to 280 mg KOH / g, vi. Any one or more polyether diols A6, vii. Any one or more polyether-modified alkylpolysiloxanes A7, viii. Any one or more pigments A8 and / or one or more fillers A8, and ix. Any one or more additives A9 selected from the group consisting of wetting agents and / or dispersants, rheological aids and flow control agents, and the above curing component B is i. A two-component coating material composition is disclosed, comprising one or more polyisocyanates B1 having an average of 2.4 to 5 NCO groups, wherein the two-component coating material composition contains at least 96% by mass of solids according to ASTM D2369 (2015) with respect to the total mass of the two-component coating material composition, and characterized in that the molar ratio of NCO groups in the curing component B to the acidic hydrogen atoms of hydroxyl groups, primary amino groups, and secondary amino groups in the paint base component A is 1:1.15 to 1:0.95.

[0006] The above two-component coating material composition enables damage-free release from mold surfaces, usually metal, without the use of external release agents, while ensuring excellent adhesion to the substrate. It can also be recoated with further coating films, such as a base coat and a clear coat, and can form a surface of extremely high quality without costly and inconvenient cleaning and / or polishing processes.

[0007] Japanese National Specific Schedule 2020-528103

[0008] In the technology described in Patent Document 1, although the resulting paint composition has a low VOC content and excellent release properties between the formed coating and the mold, the scratch resistance of the formed coating, the adhesion between the coating and the polycarbonate resin substrate when immersed in high-temperature water (high-temperature water-resistant adhesion), and the resistance to heat-induced yellowing were sometimes insufficient.

[0009] The present disclosure aims to provide a coating composition that can form a coating film with excellent scratch resistance, adhesion to polycarbonate resin substrates (high temperature water resistance), resistance to heat yellowing, and release properties from molds, and has a low VOC content.

[0010] As a result of diligent research to achieve the above objective, the Disclosers have found that the above objective can be achieved by a coating composition comprising an isocyanate-reactive group-containing compound (A) and a polyisocyanate compound (B), wherein the coating composition comprises a compound (B1) containing an isocyanate group and an alkoxysilyl group, and has a solid content concentration of 90% by mass or more.

[0011] In other words, this disclosure relates to the following <1> to <7>.

[0012] <1> A paint composition comprising an isocyanate-reactive group-containing compound (A) and a polyisocyanate compound (B), wherein the polyisocyanate compound (B) comprises a polyisocyanate compound (B1) containing two or more isocyanate groups and one or more alkoxysilyl groups in one molecule, and the solid content concentration is 90% by mass or more.

[0013] <2> The paint composition according to <1>, wherein the Si element content is in the range of 0.5 to 5% by mass with respect to the total amount of resin solids in the paint composition.

[0014] <3> The paint composition according to <1> or <2>, wherein the polyisocyanate compound (B) further comprises a polyisocyanate compound (B2) that does not contain an alkoxysilyl group and contains three or more isocyanate groups in one molecule.

[0015] <4> The paint composition according to any one of <1> to <3>, further comprising a curing catalyst (C).

[0016] <5> A paint composition according to any one of <1> to <4>, further comprising an internal mold release agent (D).

[0017] <6> A paint composition according to any one of <1> to <5>, further comprising an antioxidant (E).

[0018] <7> An in-mold coating method comprising the steps of injecting an in-mold coating paint composition between a molded substrate and the inner wall of a mold, curing the in-mold coating paint composition, and then removing the coated molded product from the mold, wherein the in-mold coating paint composition is the paint composition described in any one of <1> to <6>.

[0019] According to this disclosure, it is possible to provide a coating composition that can form a coating film with excellent scratch resistance, high-temperature water adhesion, heat yellowing resistance, and mold release properties, and has a low VOC content.

[0021] [Paint Composition] The paint composition according to the present disclosure is a paint composition comprising an isocyanate-reactive group-containing compound (A) and a polyisocyanate compound (B), wherein the polyisocyanate compound (B) comprises a polyisocyanate compound (B1) containing two or more isocyanate groups and one or more alkoxysilyl groups in one molecule, and has a solid content concentration of 90% by mass or more.

[0022] In this specification, "solid content" refers to non-volatile components such as resins, curing agents, and pigments that remain after drying at 80°C for 30 minutes. The solid content can be determined, for example, by weighing a sample into a heat-resistant container such as an aluminum foil cup, spreading the sample on the bottom surface of the container, drying it at 80°C for 30 minutes, and then weighing the mass of the components remaining after drying.

[0023] Furthermore, in this specification, "solid content concentration" means the mass percentage of the solid content in the composition. For this reason, the solid content concentration of a composition can be calculated, for example, by weighing 1.0 g of the composition into a heat-resistant container such as an aluminum foil cup, spreading the composition on the bottom surface of the container, drying it at 80°C for 30 minutes, weighing the mass of the components remaining in the composition after drying, and determining the ratio of the mass of the components remaining after drying to the total mass of the composition before drying.

[0024] The solid content concentration in the coating composition according to this disclosure is 90% by mass or more. By having a solid content concentration of 90% by mass or more in the coating composition, the VOC content in the resulting coating composition can be reduced.

[0250] Evaluation of molded products with in-mold coatings: The cured coatings on each molded product with in-mold coatings were evaluated for high-temperature water resistance, scratch resistance, heat yellowing resistance, and release properties. The evaluation results are shown in Table 2.

[0251] (High-temperature water-resistant adhesion) The molded inner coatings obtained in Examples 52 to 102 and Comparative Examples 7 to 12 were immersed in 80°C hot water for 1 hour, then removed and left to stand in an environment with a temperature of 23±2°C and a relative humidity of 50±5%RH. After 24 hours, a grid pattern of cuts was made with a cutter so as to reach the substrate, creating 100 2mm x 2mm lattice holes. Subsequently, adhesive cellophane tape was applied to the surface of each molded inner coating with cuts, and the adhesive cellophane tape was rapidly peeled off at a temperature of 23±2°C and a relative humidity of 50±5%RH. The remaining state of the lattice coating film after peeling was examined, and the adhesion after the water-resistant test was evaluated based on the following criteria. A, B, and C are acceptable.

[0252] A: 100 granular coatings remain, and no small chips or lifting of the coating at the edges of the cutter's notches have occurred.

[0253] B: 100 small areas of the paint film remain, and small chips and lifting of the paint film have occurred at the edges of the cutter's notches.

[0254] C: 90 to 99 granular coating particles remain.

[0255] D: 80 to 89 Goban-type coatings remain.

[0256] E: The number of remaining Goban-type coatings is 79 or less.

[0257] (Scratch Resistance) The 20° gloss of the coating film of each mold-coated molded product obtained in Examples 52-102 and Comparative Examples 7-12 was measured using a gloss meter (Byk-Gardner, Micro Tri Gross), and this was used as the gloss before testing. Each mold-coated molded product was fixed to the test stand of a car-wash test machine (Amtec Corporation, Car-wash Lab Apparatus) in a 20°C atmosphere, and a test solution of 1.5 g of Sikron SH200 (trade name, silica fine particles with a particle size of 24 μm, manufactured by Quarzwerke) mixed with 1 liter of water was sprayed onto the test plate while the car wash brush was rotated at 127 rpm and the test stand was moved back and forth 10 times. After that, it was washed with water and dried, and wiped with isopropyl alcohol. Next, the 20° gloss was measured using a gloss meter (Byk-Gardner, device name: Micro TriGross), and this was defined as the gloss after the test. The gloss retention rate was calculated using the following formula. A, B, and C are considered acceptable.

[0258] Gloss retention rate (%) = Gloss after test / Gloss before test × 100 A: Gloss retention rate of 90% or more, B: Gloss retention rate of 80% or more but less than 90%, C: Gloss retention rate of 70% or more but less than 80%, D: Gloss retention rate of 60% or more but less than 70%, E: Gloss retention rate less than 60%.

[0259] (Heat Resistance to Yellowing) The molded products with internal coatings obtained in Examples 52 to 102 and Comparative Examples 7 to 12 were exposed to a 110°C environment for 120 hours. The degree of yellowing before and after the test was measured in accordance with JIS K7373:2006, and the degree of yellowing was calculated using the following formula. A, B, and C are acceptable.

[0260] Yellowing degree = Yellowing degree after test - Yellowing degree before test A: Yellowing degree is less than 1 B: Yellowing degree is less than 1.5 C: Yellowing degree is 1.5 or more and less than 2 D: Yellowing degree is 2 or more and less than 5 E: Yellowing degree is 5 or more (Release property) In the production of the above mold-coated molded product, when releasing the coating mold, a release test was performed in which a spatula was inserted into the gap between one of the four corners of the mold-coated molded product and the coating mold to lift the mold-coated molded product and release it from the coating mold. If the mold-coated composition could not be released, the spatula was removed, and the spatula was inserted again into the gap between one of the four corners to the right and the coating mold, and the release test was performed in the same way. The release test was performed at all four corners until the mold-coated composition was released, and was performed a maximum of four times in total. For molded products with peeling coatings, the surface of the molded product was observed visually, the number of peeled areas was counted, and the release properties were evaluated according to the following criteria. A, B, and C are considered acceptable.

[0261] A: In the first or second release test, the molded product with the in-mold coating detaches from the mold, and the number of areas where the coating has peeled off is zero.

[0262] B: In the third to fourth release test, the molded product with the in-mold coating detaches from the mold, and the number of areas where the coating has peeled off is zero.

[0263] C: In the first to fourth release tests, the molded product with the in-mold coating releases from the mold, and the number of areas where the coating has peeled off is one.

[0264] D: In the first to fourth release tests, the molded product with the in-mold coating releases from the mold, and the number of areas where the coating has peeled off is two or more.

[0265] E: Even after four release tests, the molded product with the in-mold coating does not release from the mold, or the coating completely peels off from the substrate over its entire surface.
