Solution Overview

Problem

Existing polyurethane resin coatings face issues with adhesion, hardness, scratch resistance, and chemical resistance, particularly when exposed to chemicals like sunscreen, leading to detachment or deterioration.

Innovation Solution

A composition comprising a polyol compound with an isocyanurate skeleton and a polyisocyanate compound, combined with a polyester polyol at a specific ratio, and optionally including a polysiloxane derivative and solvent, forms a cured product that enhances adhesion, hardness, and chemical resistance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a conventional polyurethane resin coating is used, then adhesion to substrate is achieved, but chemical resistance deteriorates when exposed to agents like sunscreen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechemical resistanceVSAvoiddeterioration from chemical exposure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters by incorporating specific compounds: a polyol compound with isocyanurate skeleton (Formula 1), a polyisocyanate compound with isocyanurate skeleton (Formula 2), and a polyester polyol with controlled hydroxyl value (80-850). This specific compositional parameter change provides both adhesion and chemical resistance simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses a composite material system combining three key components: (1) polyol compound with isocyanurate skeleton, (2) polyisocyanate compound with isocyanurate skeleton, and (3) polyester polyol. This composite approach creates synergistic effects that provide both substrate adhesion and resistance to chemical agents like sunscreen

Inventive Principle:

2Strength

If coating film hardness is increased, then scratch resistance is improved, but adhesion to substrate may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescratch resistanceVSAvoidadhesion to substrate
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent achieves both hardness and adhesion by changing the chemical structure parameters of the polyol compound (Formula 1) and polyisocyanate compound (Formula 2), both containing isocyanurate skeletons. The specific molecular structures and functional groups provide a balance between crosslinking density (for hardness) and substrate bonding capability (for adhesion)

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The composite material system combines rigid isocyanurate-based polymers (providing hardness and scratch resistance) with polyester polyol components (providing flexibility and adhesion). This composite structure allows the coating to maintain both mechanical strength and substrate bonding

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
