Abstract

The compositions contain acrylic binders which allow for optimum performance both coating materials and coatings of them. Acrylic Binder is a copolymer of lower alkyl esters acrylic and / or methacrylic, optionally still with functional acrylic monomers and with other specified unsaturated ones monomers. The acrylic polymer is regulated the structure of the molecule due to the use of radicals polymerization with time-controlled addition monomers in its preparation and is a mixture of two to three polymers obtained by different polymerization mixtures of monomers in the individual phases of polymerization.

Description

The invention relates to solvent acrylic coating compositions based on solution acrylic binders, optionally with the addition of other types of binders, pigments, fillers, solvents and additives.

Find acrylic paints! increasingly widespread use in a wide variety of industries. The reason for the great interest in acrylic paints is their very good properties, especially in terms of weather resistance, resistance to water, chemicals and yellowing. This is because acrylic polymers in their molecules do not have such unsaturated groups that could undergo oxidation and thus affect the degradation of the polymer chains. Another degradation mechanism, which is oxidation at the tertiary carbon atom, especially in the acrylic acid derivative segments, is very difficult and therefore unlikely. Acrylic binders are the most commonly used coatings for topcoats. High-quality paints are also expected to have a high hardness of the coatings while maintaining sufficient resistance to impact, bending and trenching, short drying time and adhesion to various substrates. Most coatings produced meet these requirements only partially.

This problem is successfully solved by the present invention, which relates to solvent-based acrylic paints consisting of 3 to 50 wt. 5 parts to 70 wt. parts of other lacquer binders, in particular polyester and aldehyde resins, rosin esters and cellulose derivatives, up to 70 wt. parts and / or fillers and up to 8 wt. parts of additives, in particular from the group consisting of flow agents, matting agents, antifoams, desiccants and emollients. It is an object of the present invention to provide such coating compositions as an acrylic binder with at least one controlled-state acrylic polymer prepared from 30 to 100% by weight. parts of alkyl esters of acrylic and / or methacrylic acid having a number of carbon atoms in the alkyl group of 1 to 12 and optionally up to 40 wt. parts of functional acrylic monomers selected from the group consisting of acrylic and methacrylic acid, their amides optionally substituted on nitrogen by methylol or alkyl or alkoxymethyl groups having a carbon number of 1 to 5, hydroxyalkyl esters of acrylic and methacrylic acid having a number of carbon atoms in hydroxyalkyl group 2 to 4, glycidyl acrylate and glycidyl methacrylate, and up to 100 wt. parts of monoethylenically unsaturated monomers from the group consisting of styrene, its alkyl derivatives having a number of carbon atoms in the alkyl substituent of 1 to 4 vinyl acetate. Regulated molecular structure acrylic polymer means a polymer having a number average molecular weight of 3,000 to 60,000 and a weight to number average molecular weight ratio of 2 to 6 while maintaining random distribution of monomer segments, prepared by free-radical polymerization with time-controlled continuous or sequential addition of monomer mixture. with a polymerization initiator into the solvents of the resulting polymer at their boiling point for 1 to 6 hours and subsequent completion of the polymerization at this temperature within 2 to 12 hours. Controlled molecular structure acrylic polymers are also blends of two to three polymers prepared by phased radical polymerization in two or three-phase continuous or sequential dosing of one to three different blends of polymerization initiator monomers into the solvents of the resulting polymers at their boiling point for 20 minutes to 4 hours. without a time delay or with a time interval of up to 3 hours between the individual phases of dosing.

The paints according to the invention contain acrylic binders which, by means of a suitable molecular weight and advantageous distribution of segments in the polymer chain, make it possible to achieve optimum properties of the paints and coatings prepared therefrom. These coatings have a very good resistance to accelerated and normal weathering, in a corrosive environment, and excellent resistance to chemical agents and UV radiation after drying at normal temperature or drying. By suitable composition of acrylic binder and the ratio of other components of the paint, coat films with excellent adhesion to various substrates, sufficient hardness? desired elasticity.

The most important component of said solvent acrylic paints is an acrylic binder, which is a copolymer prepared by copolymerization of 30 to 100 parts by weight, parts of alkyl esters of acrylic and / or methacrylic acid having a number of carbon atoms in the alkyl group of 1 to 3 parts. parts of functional acrylic monomers from the group consisting of acrylic and methacrylic acid, their amides which may be substituted on the nitrogen by methylol or alkyl or alkoxymethyl groups having a carbon number of 1 to 5, hydroxyalkyl esters of acrylic and methacrylic acid having a number of carbon atoms in hydroxyalkyl groups 2 to 4, glycidyl acrylate and glycidyl methacrylate; and up to 100 wt. parts of monoethylenically unsaturated monomers from the group consisting of: styrene, its C1-C4 alkyl substituents and vinyl acetate. Of the acrylic and methacrylic esters, esters derived from aliphatic alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, isobutanol, 2-methylbutanol, 2-pentanol, 3-pentanol, n-hexanol are particularly used. , 1-methylpentanol, 3-methylpentanol, 2-ethylbutanol, 2-methylpentanol, n-heptanol, 1-methylhexanol, 2-methylhexanol, 3-methylhexanol, 3-heptanol, n-octanol, isooctanol, 2-ethylhexanol, 3,5 , 5-trimethylhexanol, n-decanol or dodecanol.

Other types of lacquer binders can be added to these acrylic copolymers, derivatives derived from natural macromolecular and low molecular weight substances, as well as other types of synthetic binders. Natural macromolecular and low molecular weight substances include, for example, cellulose nitrate, propionate and acetobutyrate, chlorinated rubber, adducts and esters of rosin, vegetable oils, and binders derived from drying or semi-drying vegetable oils. Suitable synthetic binders are aldehyde resins, such as melamine-formaldehyde, phenol-formaldehyde, urea-formaldehyde, guanamine-formaldehyde and ketone-formaldehyde; polyisocyanates and silicone resins.
