The application relates to the field of
epoxy resin modification, in particular to a preparation method of a self-emulsifying
epoxy resin. The method overcomes the defects of the prior art, such as the need to add an emulsifier and mechanical stirring for emulsification, easy demulsification, low
epoxy value and the like. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, adding a Lewis acid into a
mixed solution of
polyethylene glycol and epoxy chloropropane to prepare one-side
chlorinated polyethylene glycol; secondly, adding
bisphenol A into the one-side
chlorinated polyethylene glycol
system to make the one-side hydroxyl group of the
bisphenol A graft with
polyethylene glycol through a Williamson
ether reaction under the
catalysis of alkali; and thirdly, adding epoxy chloropropane into the
bisphenol A solution grafted with one-side
polyethylene glycol to make the other-side hydroxyl group of the
bisphenol A graft with an epoxy group under the
catalysis of alkali, so as to prepare the epoxy resin with self-emulsifying effect. The raw materials of the reaction method are cheap and easy to obtain, the method is simple, the
toxicity is relatively small, there is no by-product after the reaction is completed, and the environment
pollution is relatively small. The reaction
raw material utilization rate is high, the yield is high, the method meets the concept of green paint, and can be widely applied to the industrial production fields of paint and material.
