Solution Overview

Problem

Polyisocyanate compositions derived from aliphatic diisocyanates, such as those with isocyanurate and iminooxadiazinedione groups, often have low crosslinking properties and insufficient solvent resistance and weather fastness when used in aqueous or polyaspartic paint compositions.

Innovation Solution

A polyisocyanate composition comprising an isocyanurate group, an iminooxadiazinedione group, and a specific ratio of pentamer derived from aliphatic diisocyanate, with an allophanate group, which is formulated to achieve low viscosity, excellent water dispersibility, and enhanced solvent resistance and weather fastness in coating films.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If polyisocyanate composition has isocyanurate group and iminooxadiazinedione group, then viscosity is lowered and water dispersibility is improved, but crosslinking properties and solvent resistance are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveviscosityVSAvoidcrosslinking properties
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The invention changes the molecular weight distribution parameters by controlling the ratio of trimers to pentamers. Specifically, it maintains iminooxadiazinedione trimer content at 1-50 mass% and isocyanurate trimer content at 1-50 mass%, while controlling pentamer content at 10-80 mass%. This parameter optimization achieves low viscosity through small molecular weight components while maintaining crosslinking properties through appropriate pentamer content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a composite polyisocyanate composition containing multiple types of molecules with different functions: iminooxadiazinedione groups for water dispersibility, isocyanurate groups for crosslinking, and controlled pentamer content for balancing viscosity and performance. This composite approach resolves the contradiction by combining components that individually address different requirements.
