Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional water-based resin compositions for damping materials exhibit slower film-forming properties during drying and higher energy consumption compared to solvent-based compositions, necessitating a shift towards compositions that reduce energy consumption while maintaining performance.

Innovation Solution

A resin composition with polymer emulsion particles having multiple peaks in the particle size distribution, achieved by adding an emulsifier separately during polymerization, enhances low-temperature drying properties and coating stability.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If water-based resin composition is used instead of solvent-based composition, then VOC emission is reduced and environmental protection is improved, but film-forming speed during drying is slower and energy consumption is higher

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveVOC emissionVSAvoidenergy consumption during drying
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The invention changes the particle size distribution parameter of the polymer emulsion from a single peak to multiple peaks. This parameter change enables the emulsion to form a stable coating film at lower drying temperatures, reducing the energy required for drying while maintaining the water-based formulation that eliminates VOC emissions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention uses a composite particle size distribution system combining different sized polymer emulsion particles (multiple peaks in size distribution). This composite structure allows smaller particles to fill gaps between larger particles, creating a denser, more stable film that forms more efficiently at lower temperatures, thereby reducing energy consumption while maintaining the environmental benefits of water-based formulations.
