Description

TITLE OF THE INVENTION
Low Temperature Cure MDI Prepolymers
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
MDI-based coatings are applied to large metal structures (bridges, oil rigs, etc.). These coatings are applied in cold northern climates at temperatures as low as 20 °F . These coatings must cure (dry to the touch) within 24 hours. The art has employed a MDI based coating composition that includes a prepolymer having 16 % NCO . The prepolymer is prepared by reacting MI-50 isocyanate with a 2000 MW, all PO diol in the presence of a propoxylated ethylene diamine (DABCO CL-485, quadrol) . The molar ratio of PO to diamine is 5 to 1. Thin films (127 μ) of this prepolymer moisture cure at 20 °F over 24 hours at 50 % relative humidity. These films, however, bubble extensively at 20 °F . These films when prepared at room temperature, moreover, contain even more bubbles and do not adhere well to the substrate. A need therefore exists for a prepolymer and a coating composition which moisture cure within 24 hours at low temperatures of about 20 °F without the disadvantages of the prior art .
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to MDI prepolymers and thin films thereof which moisture-cure at 20 °F in less than about 24 hours. The prepolymers have a functionality of about 1.6 to about 2.4, preferably about 2.0 to about 2.2, more preferably, about 2.0 to about 2.05.
The cure rates of these prepolymers are enhanced by preparing the prepolymers from reaction systems which include a polyol, an isocyanate, and an at least di-functional, aliphatic tertiary amine which has one or more EO groups on the nitrogen atom of the amine. Useful amines include C-5 amines having EO groups such as methyl diethanol amine, C-8 amines having EO groups such as bis (2-hydroxyethyl) octadecyloxypropylamine, difunctional C-18 amines having EO groups, difunctional C-22 amines having EO groups, and tetra- functional propoxylated/ethoxylated ethylene diamines . Generally, useful amines may contain one or more alkyl groups. Further, the alkyl groups may contain from 1 to 22 carbon atoms .
The prepolymers have a viscosity of about 1000 cps to about 6000 cps at room temperature, about 6% NCO to about 20% NCO, preferably about 10% NCO to about 18% NCO, more preferably about 14% NCO to about 16% NCO, most preferably about 15% NCO. The prepolymers can be formed into films which moisture cure overnight (24 hours) at 20 °F (humidity 30-70 %, dry to the touch) .

Manufacture of prepolymer film
The prepolymers of the invention advantageously can be used to produce films of various thicknesses which moisture cure within 24 hours at 20 °F . The thicknesses of the films may vary from about 203 μ to about 254 μ, preferably about 127 μ. Films of the prepolymers produced in the examples above are made by applying a bead of the prepolymer to a sheet of clean glass. The beads are leveled into thin films with a doctors knife (GARDCO adjustable micrometer film applicator) . The thicknesses of the films are measured with a GARDCO wet film thickness gauge. The films are made to have a thickness less than about 127 μ thickness. The films are allowed to react with atmospheric moisture for several days. The films are removed from the glass by immersion into hot water. After several minutes the films are gently pulled from the glass. The films are moisture-cured on 152.4 mm X 203.2 mm sheets of glass at 20 °F and 73 °F .
The physical properties of the films produced are shown in Tables 2. In Table 2, the tensile strengths and maximum elongations of the thin films are measured by ASTM D882-91. The tear resistances are measured by ASTM test method D624-91 (Die C) . Taber Abrasions are measured using ASTM test method D1044-90 and a CS-17 Taber wheel. The weight lost after 500 and 1000 revolutions is measured. Water absorption is determined using ASTM D-570-95.
As shown in Table 2, films produced with use of E-T-2 amine produced the highest tensile strengths and the highest elongations .
