The invention discloses single-component aqueous
epoxy resin
emulsion capable of being self-cured at normal temperature, and a preparation method thereof. The method comprises the following steps of: adding
epoxy resin, n-butyl
alcohol, and
ethylene glycol monobutyl
ether into a reactor, heating to form a homogeneous phase, controlling temperature to be 110 to 120 DEG C, and dripping acrylic ester monomers in which initiator
benzoyl peroxide (BPO) is dissolved to obtain an acrylic ester
monomer modified
epoxy resin; and heating the acrylic ester
monomer modified epoxy resin to 120 to 150 DEG C, adding unitary
unsaturated fatty acid and catalyst triphenylphosphorus, adding
maleic anhydride, reacting for 1.0 to 2.0 hours, reducing temperature to 50 to 55 DEG C, adding
triethylamine, neutralizing for 0.5 to 1.0 hour, adding water and dispersing for 0.5 to 1.0 hour to obtain the single-component aqueous epoxy resin
emulsion capable of being self-cured at normal temperature. The aqueous epoxy resin
emulsion which is obtained by the method can be cured at normal temperature to form a film under the condition of not adding a curing agent, is convenient to use, and high in
water resistance and
corrosion resistance, and can be used for
metal corrosion-resistant paint and the like.
