The invention provides bio-based resin and application thereof in waterproof insulating paint, a preparation method of the bio-based resin comprises the following steps: S1,
lignin and
phenol are mixed, then acid is added, and phenolated
lignin is obtained after stirring reaction; s2, mixing the phenolated
lignin with
epoxy chloropropane, then adding a catalyst, heating for reaction, and then adding alkali for
continuous reaction to obtain the bio-based resin. The waterproof insulating paint comprises the following components in parts by
mass: 20-30 parts of bio-based resin, 20-50 parts of
epoxy resin, 5-15 parts of modified diatomite, 0.1-10 parts of an auxiliary agent and 10-50 parts of a
solvent, the modified diatomite is obtained by reacting polyethyleneimine, a
silane coupling agent, diatomite and
epoxy POSS (Polyhedral Oligomeric
Silsesquioxane). The compatibility among multiple components is obviously improved, the comprehensive performance of the
coating is effectively improved, and a new thought is provided for research and development of bio-based resin and
coating products.
