Solution Overview

Problem

Existing coating compositions fail to provide both high flaw restorability and stain resistance simultaneously.

Innovation Solution

A coating composition comprising a polycarbonate diol with specific repeating units, a polyol, and an organic polyisocyanate, where the polycarbonate diol has a controlled molar ratio of repeating units and a terminal hydroxyl group, and the polyol and polyisocyanate are used in specific mass percentages to form a film with improved stain resistance and flaw restorability.

1Reliability

If conventional coating compositions are used, then either flaw restorability or stain resistance can be achieved, but not both simultaneously

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical parameters of the polyol component by specifying a particular structural formula (formula A) with defined molecular weight range (500-2000) and hydroxyl value range (30-70). This parameter optimization enables the coating film to achieve both high flaw restorability through molecular mobility and high stain resistance through appropriate polarity and bonding characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite coating system combining three specific components: a polycarbonate diol (component α), a specially structured polyol (component β) comprising 30-80 mass% of total polyols, and an organic polyisocyanate (component γ). This composite formulation synergistically achieves both flaw restorability and stain resistance that cannot be obtained with single materials.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If the polyol content is increased to improve flaw restorability, then the coating film becomes more flexible and self-healing, but the stain resistance may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflaw restorabilityVSAvoidstain resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent precisely controls the polyol composition parameters by specifying that component β must comprise 30-80 mass% of the total polyol content, with molecular weight of 500-2000 and hydroxyl value of 30-70. This optimized parameter range ensures sufficient polyol content for flaw restorability while maintaining appropriate film density for stain resistance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a polyol with specific local molecular structure (formula A) that provides different functional characteristics at different levels: the molecular structure enables chain mobility for self-healing while the overall composition maintains film integrity for stain resistance, achieving local quality optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
