1Object-generated harmful factors
If conventional aqueous urethane resin composition is used, then VOC reduction is achieved, but reactivity and drying characteristics are low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines hydrophilic polyol, water dispersible polyisocyanate, and aspartic acid ester having a secondary amino group to create a composite aqueous resin composition. This composite approach allows the system to maintain water-based low-VOC properties while the aspartic acid ester component provides enhanced reactivity and drying characteristics that conventional aqueous systems lack.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent modifies the chemical composition parameters by introducing aspartic acid ester with secondary amino groups into the aqueous system. This parameter change transforms the resin composition from low-reactivity conventional aqueous urethane to a high-reactivity formulation that maintains water-based advantages while achieving improved drying characteristics.
2Object-generated harmful factors
If conventional aqueous urethane resin composition is used, then environmental friendliness is improved, but drying characteristics under low-temperature environment deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The composite formulation combining hydrophilic polyol, water dispersible polyisocyanate, and aspartic acid ester creates a synergistic system that maintains environmental friendliness through water-based composition while the aspartic acid ester component specifically addresses low-temperature drying performance, enabling effective application in winter conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
By changing the chemical composition to include aspartic acid ester with secondary amino groups, the patent modifies the reaction kinetics parameters of the system, enabling the resin to maintain high reactivity and drying characteristics across a broader temperature range including low-temperature environments.
3Object-generated harmful factors
If conventional aqueous urethane resin composition is used, then water-based formulation is achieved, but film-forming capability for thick application is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a composite aqueous resin system where the combination of hydrophilic polyol, water dispersible polyisocyanate, and aspartic acid ester works synergistically to enable thick film application. The aspartic acid ester component specifically enhances the film-forming capability, allowing the water-based formulation to achieve proper curing and film integrity even at high application thicknesses.
