Solution Overview

Problem

Existing polyurethane resin compositions used for coatings on films suffer from insufficient scratch resistance and blocking resistance, necessitating improvements in mechanical strength and solvent resistance.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating specific structural units derived from polyols, including polycarbonate polyol from 1,10-decanediol, polyol compounds with anionic hydrophilic groups, glycol compounds, and polyhydric alcohols into the polyurethane resin composition, with controlled molecular weights and proportions, to enhance scratch and blocking resistance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional polyurethane resin composition is used for coating on film, then the coating can be formed with basic mechanical properties, but the scratch resistance and blocking resistance are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescratch resistance and blocking resistanceVSAvoidcoating formation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters of the polyol by specifying precise proportions: glycol compound (30-90% by mass), polycarbonate polyol (10-40% by mass), and polyhydric alcohol (5-20% by mass). These parameter changes in the resin composition directly improve the coating's scratch resistance and blocking resistance while maintaining ease of coating formation.

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite polyol system combining multiple types of polyols (glycol compound, polycarbonate polyol, and polyhydric alcohol) in specific proportions. This composite approach synergistically improves both the mechanical strength and the scratch/blocking resistance of the coating, resolving the contradiction between performance improvement and manufacturing simplicity.

Principle #40Composite materials

2Strength

If polyol with higher molecular weight is used to improve mechanical strength, then the coating strength increases, but the dispersibility and coating uniformity deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemechanical strength of coatingVSAvoiddispersibility and coating uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes the molecular weight parameter of the glycol compound to a specific range (500-2500) and controls the proportion of polyhydric alcohol (5-20% by mass). This parameter optimization ensures that the polyol provides sufficient mechanical strength while maintaining appropriate dispersibility and coating uniformity, avoiding the drawbacks of excessively high molecular weights.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different polyol components to different functional requirements: the glycol compound (30-90% by mass) provides the base structure and dispersibility, the polycarbonate polyol (10-40% by mass) enhances mechanical strength and scratch resistance, and the polyhydric alcohol (5-20% by mass) improves blocking resistance. This local quality differentiation resolves the contradiction between strength and uniformity.
