This invention discloses a low-allergenic, high-activity
powder coating curing agent and its preparation method, relating to the field of
powder coating technology. The preparation method includes: mixing
isocyanuric acid,
epichlorohydrin, and an
addition reaction catalyst including a
phase transfer catalyst to perform an
addition reaction; subsequently adding a base to perform a ring-closure reaction; allowing the mixture to stand and separate into
layers to obtain a lower crude product; subjecting the lower crude product to
vacuum distillation to obtain a distilled product; adding a
solvent to the distilled product, stirring to dissolve, and then adding
hydrogenated vegetable oil to form a coated
crystallization system; followed by cooling
crystallization, separation, and
drying to obtain the final product. This invention, through the combination of addition ring closure,
vacuum distillation, and in-situ
oil phase crystallization coating, not only suppresses side reactions at the source and deeply removes harmful residues, significantly reducing the free
epichlorohydrin residue in the finished product and almost completely eliminating
skin and respiratory
sensitization toxicity; but also effectively stabilizes the single-
crystal regular
crystal form, significantly narrows the melting range, and greatly enhances the activity of the curing agent.
