Description

Stoving enamels based on epoxy resins and alcohol-etherified aminotriazine-formaldehyde condensation products have been in use for a long time, but the combination options are still available is bound to certain conditions. The production of etherified aminotriazine resins takes place in generally in such a way that initially in a neutral or weakly alkaline aqueous, aqueous-alcoholic medium from an aminotriazine, under certain circumstances in a mixture with urea and / or urea derivatives and formaldehyde and / or formaldehyde-releasing agents Agents such as Paraform, a relatively low molecular weight condensation product is produced that then in an acidic condensation phase in aqueous-alcoholic or alcoholic solution condensed further and thereby at the same time partially etherified, or it is from the outset in weakly acidic aqueous-alcoholic or alcoholic medium condenses and etherifies. examples for Etherified aminotriazine resins and their production can be found, for example, in DT-PS 9 70 453, 10 55 811 and 1127 083 as well as by J. S c h e i b e r: "Chemistry and Technology of Artificial Resins", 1943, pp. 386 - 389, described.

Compounds or epoxy resins with at least two epoxy groups that contain epoxy groups are used for example in question: epoxidized diolefins, dienes or cyclic dienes, such as 1,2,5,6-diepoxihexane and 1,2,4,5-diepoxycyclohexane; epoxidized diolefinically unsaturated carboxylic acid esters, such as methyl 9,10,12,13-diepoxystearate; the dimethyl ester of 6,7,10,11-diepoxihexadecane-1,16-dicarboxylic acid; epoxidized compounds with two cyclohexenyl radicals, such as diethylene glycol bis (3,4-epoxycyclohexanecarboxylate) and 3,4-epoxicyclohexylmethyl-S ^ -epoxicyclohexanecarboxylate. Furthermore, for example, polyesters with two epoxy groups come into question, as they are by implementing one Dicarboxylic acid with epichlorohydrin or dichlorohydrin in the presence of alkali are accessible. Such Polyesters can be different from aliphatic dicarboxylic acids, such as

Other epoxies and / or epoxy resins with at least two epoxy groups are described in large numbers in the book "Epoxydverbindungen und Epoxyharze" by AM Paquin, Springer-Verlag, 1958, Berlin / Göttingen / Heidelberg. If one tries to mix the etherified aminotriazine resins prepared by the processes described in the German patents cited above with epoxy resins at room temperature, one finds a severe incompatibility between the two components and the very cloudy mixtures cannot be processed into stoving finishes. However, due to the high chemical and solvent resistance that characterize the cured epoxy resin films, etherified aminotriazine resins, which can be combined with epoxy resins and / or compounds containing epoxy groups and which cause them to cure when stoving at higher temperatures, are very popular in the paint industry.

This is why paint technology has hitherto managed to use the epoxy resin and the aminotriazine-formaldehyde condensation product etherified with alcohols in the presence of organic solvents and basic catalysts, such as dicyandiamide or ammonia, and acidic catalysts, such as adipic acid, oxalic acid, glacial acetic acid or ^{Benzoic acid has heated to temperatures of 80 to 10O 0} C until the mixtures become homogeneous for a long time, possibly up to 4 hours (DT-PS 9 35 390). According to the teachings of DT-PS 8 95 833, dicyandiamide and polybasic carboxylic acids or their anhydrides as catalysts together with the epoxy resin and etherified aminotriazine resin can be heated for a long time in the presence of solvents. In GB-PS 8 48 678, epoxy and aminotriazine resins are heated in the presence of solvents with catalytic amounts of phosphoric acid until they are compatible. In DT-AS 1156 558, the two resins are condensed while keeping the amount of solvent constant at temperatures from 70 to 120 ^° C. using acid catalysts such as phosphoric acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid or its morpholine salt. For this “precondensation”, however, considerable expenditure in terms of equipment and time is necessary, which unnecessarily makes these stoving enamels even more expensive.

In DT-AS 10 52 026, highly resistant paints based on epoxy resins and etherified melamine resins are already described above, which are characterized in that they contain solutions of epoxy resins with a molecular weight of more than 1000, optionally with the addition of other paint raw materials, and solutions of melamine resins, which . Are etherified with secondary butyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol. The melamine resins etherified with secondary butyl or isopropyl alcohol and described in this last-named German patent application are also dealt with in "Fette-Seifen-Anstrichmittel", 1958, No. 7, page 553. However, these proposed paint combinations various disadvantages: In burnt 18O ⁰ C, this paint combinations are still clouded films. These films are also very brittle and show only poor solvent resistance, for example to acetone, methyl isobutyl ketone and aromatics. These disadvantages are confirmed in "Fette-Seifen-Anstrichmittel", 1958, No. 7, page 553, right column, last paragraph. Baked at 220 ^° C. and higher, the result is also very brittle films which, in addition, already show strong yellowing. With baking temperatures of 220 ⁰ C and higher, one receives a statement about the service life of a paint film and the protection that it gives the objects treated with it, eg. B. metal parts

len, can offer. Both are only in this lacquer material given for a short time in order to be able to use them in practice. A statement about that The so-called weather-o-meter test, in which Paint films exposed to UV light, heat and moisture over a longer period of time are exposed to. In this test, too, a strong paint or film material is shown very quickly Increase in the yellowing values and a strong embrittlement, recognizable by the sharp drop in the Erichsen deepening (DIN 53136) and the behavior at the ASTM kink (D 522-11).

The aim of the proposed invention is to produce high resistance stoving lacquers based on epoxy group-containing compounds or resins and etherified melamine-formaldehyde resins which can be used without going through a pre-condensation, and baked in a wide temperature range of 180 to 250 ⁰ C, Films with excellent properties, such as high gloss, good yellowing resistance, high elasticity and solvent resistance, are effective. Above all, the aim of the present invention is to produce highly stable stoving enamels which are distinguished by a long service life and excellent aging resistance compared to other proposed enamel combinations, which likewise do not require precondensation.

The invention relates to highly resistant stoving enamels based on epoxy groups Compounds or resins and melamine-formaldehyde resins etherified with butyl alcohols, wherein the paint contains the components mixed at room temperature, characterized in that as Etherified melamine-formaldehyde resins contain those that are produced in one step by heating together h-butanol or mixtures of n- and i-butanol therein dissolved formaldehyde and / or formaldehyde-releasing compounds, and melamine, in the presence weak acids, condensed by heating and then dehydrated.

This solution found for the composition of the new stoving enamels must be surprising be considered, since in DT-AS 10 52 026, column 3, lines 14 to 22, the following statements are literal have been hit:

»Based on the known state of the art, it was not to be expected that the compatibility of the Melamine ethers with epoxy resins of the type used to etherify methoxylated melamine Alcohol as well as the molecular size of the epoxy resin used. Will etherification is carried out with normal or isobutanol or an even higher alcohol, so are these melamine ethers are incompatible with epoxy resins. Even if only small amounts are used, about up to 15% of the melamine ether results in cloudy mixtures or films with a cloudy or cloudy appearance. "

The melamine-formaldehyde resins contained according to the invention can be obtained by n-butanol or mixtures of n- and i-butanol, formaldehyde and / or compounds which split off formaldehyde and melamine first refluxed together in the presence of weak acids and then condensed by further heating with dehydration by circulating distillation. Used n-butanol or mixtures of n- and i-butanol, the mixing ratio being 1: 1 target.

Paraform is useful as a formaldehyde-supplying compound. Weak acids can be acetic acid, Formic acid, coconut fatty acid, acrylic acid or half or partial esters of polybasic acids, e.g. B. Use half esters or maleic acid, individually or in a mixture. Glacial acetic acid is preferred as the weak acid, in particular, 0.5 to 5 ml, preferably 0.5 to 1 ml, of glacial acetic acid are used per mole of melamine.

In the preparation of the melamine resin obtained according to the invention, 3.5 to 6.5 mol of n-butanol or Mixtures of n- and i-butanol, preferably in a mixing ratio of 1: 1.3.5 to 6 mol of formaldehyde in Form of Paraform, preferably 4 to 4.5 moles of formaldehyde as Paraform with 1 mole of melamine and in Presence of a weak acid, preferably glacial acetic acid, together under reflux for some time heated and then dehydrated with further heating while performing the circular distillation.

The reaction mixture is heated for V2 to 5 hours, preferably 1 to 2 hours, under reflux to the boil and then dehydrated in 2 to 7 hours, preferably in 3 up to 5 hours, by circulating distillation. The circuit drainage can still be done by adding 10 to 50 g Benzene per mole of melamine are supported.

Instead of the heated n-butanol or n- and i-butanol-paraform acid mixture, one can also a corresponding equal amount of acid-containing solution of anhydrous, gaseous formaldehyde in Use butanol.

The following formulations for the melamine resins A to C are intended to facilitate the production of the new aminotriazine resins explain in more detail:

Melamine resin A

300 g of n-butanol, 300 g of i-butanol, 210 g Para form (95 weight percent) and 1 ml glacial acetic acid are heated together with stirring at 80 to 85 ° C and held for I ¹ A hours at this temperature. The mixture is then allowed to cool slightly and 189 g of melamine are added at 65.degree. The mixture is heated to the boiling point and refluxed for 1 hour. The boiling temperature drops from 110 to 98.5 ° C. Then give 25 g.

Benzene is added through the condenser and 70 g of aqueous water is removed in 3 hours by circulatory dewatering Phase. In a weak vacuum, so that the distillation temperature between 85 and 90 ° C., 133 g are drawn off Distillate. The residue is diluted to 50 percent by weight with 30 g of xylene and approx. 125 g of i-butanol Solid resin content.

The viscosity of the resin solution is 97 DIN seconds (20 ° C), the gasoline compatibility 1: 2.9 and the acid number 0.99.

Melamine resin B

200 g of n-butanol, 400 g of i-butanol, 210 g Para form (95 weight percent) and 1 ml of glacial acetic acid and heated with stirring to 80 to 85 ° C kept I ¹ A hours at this temperature. It is then allowed to cool somewhat and 189 g of melamine are added ^{at about 65 ° C.} The mixture is heated to the boiling point and refluxed for 2 hours. Then 25 g of benzene are added through the condenser and 69 g of aqueous phase are removed by circulatory dehydration in 3 hours. In a weak vacuum, so that the distillation ^{temperature is between 85 and 90 °} C., 80 g of distillate are drawn off. With 30 g of xylene and 80 g of i-butanol, 51

Weight percent solid resin content diluted. The viscosity of the resin solution is 97 DIN seconds (20 ^° C.), the gasoline compatibility 1: 3.1 and the acid number 0.95.

Melamine resins

200 g of n-butanol, 100 g of i-butanol, 500 g of a commercial solution of formaldehyde in 40gewichtsprozentigen i-butanol and 1 ml of glacial acetic acid are heated with stirring to about 60 to 7O ⁰ C. 189 g of melamine are added. The mixture is heated to the boiling point and refluxed for 11/2 hours. The further procedure is as described for the preparation of the melamine resin A or B. The viscosity of the resin solution obtained is 91 DIN seconds, measured at 20 ^° C., the white spirit compatibility 1: 3.5 and the acid number 0.87.

The melamine resin was made into stoving enamels in the same way as described for melamine resins A and B processed.

To obtain the stoving enamels according to the invention, a mixture is used consisting of 10 to 70 percent by weight of the melamine-formaldehyde resins according to the invention and 90 to 30 percent by weight of the epoxy resins. The combination)) of 10 to 40 percent by weight of the new melamine-formaldehyde resins and 90 to 60 percent by weight of the compounds or epoxy resins containing epoxy groups is particularly favorable. The stoving enamels can also be used in a pigmented state. The epoxy resin mentioned in the examples and comparative experiments is a commercially available solid epoxy resin, produced by alkaline condensation of bisphenol A with epichlorohydrin with the following parameters: epoxy equivalent weight 1550 to 2000, softening point 114 to 125 ° C according to D urran, viscosity of the 40% solution in butyl diglycol at 25 ° C 1750 to 2700 centipoise (dissolved to 40 percent by weight in ethyl glycol acetate / toluene = 1: 1).

For comparison, commercially available melamine resins etherified with isobutanol alone, according to example 2 of DT-AS 10 65 552 and according to example 2 of DT-AS 1127 083, were used, which proved to be completely incompatible in the area tested. The table (see below) also lists the properties of the stoved films made from the $ D resin mixtures, namely through the König pendulum hardness and the resistance to acetone. The acetone resistance was determined in the following way: 0.5 ml of acetone were pipetted onto each of the films of the same layer thickness that were stoved onto metal strips, and were immediately rubbed in with the fingertip. It means:

1 = film without change,

2 = film slightly softened,

3 = film softened, sticky,

4 = film loosened, strongly adhesive and

5 = film released immediately.

example 1

225 g of epoxy resin, 40 percent by weight in ethyl glycol acetate (ÄGA) / toluene = 1: 1, and 20 g of melamine-formaldehyde resin A, 50 percent by weight in xylene / butanol, were mixed. A uniform film was formed by dipping placed on two sheets degreased, and after drying in the air per 30 minutes at 18O ⁰ C and 200 ⁰ C baked. The pendulum hardness and acetone strength were determined after 24 hours.

Example 2

200 g of the 40 percent by weight epoxy resin solution and 40 g of melamine formaldehyde resin A in 50 percent by weight Solution were mixed. The rest of the procedure was as in Example 1.

Example 3

175 g of the 40 percent by weight epoxy resin solution, o and 60 g of melamine formaldehyde resin A in 50 percent by weight Solution were mixed. The rest of the procedure was as in Example 1.

Example 4

150 g of the 40 weight percent epoxy resin solution and 80 g of melamine formaldehyde resin A in 50 weight percent Solution were mixed. The rest of the procedure was as in Example 1.

Example5

225 g of the 40 weight percent epoxy resin solution and 20 g melamine formaldehyde resin in 50 weight percent Solution were mixed. The rest of the procedure was as in Example 1.

Example 6

200 g of the 40 percent by weight epoxy resin solution and 40 g of melamine formaldehyde resin B in 50 percent by weight Solution were mixed. The rest of the procedure was as in Example 1.

Example 7

175 g of the 40 percent by weight epoxy resin solution and 60 g of melamine formaldehyde resin B in 50 percent by weight Solution were mixed. The rest of the procedure was as in Example 1.

Example 8

150 g of the 40 weight percent epoxy resin solution and 80 g of melamine formaldehyde resin B in 50 weight percent Solution were mixed. The rest of the procedure was as in Example 1.

For comparison, the approximately 50 weight percent isobutanol-etherified melamine-formaldehyde resins according to DT-AS 10 65 552 and DT-AS 11 27 083 were mixed with the 40 weight percent epoxy resin solution in the same mixing ratios as given in the above examples. In all mixing ratios, only very cloudy solutions were formed, which could not be produced into perfect films.

Example 9 to 12

225 g, 200 g, 175 g and 150 g of the 40 weight percent solution of the polyglycidyl ether of bisphenol A with an epoxide equivalent of 1550 to 2000, dissolved in ethyl glycol acetate / toluene = 1: 1, were with 20 g, 40 g, 60 g and 80 g of melamine resin C, about 50gewichtsprozentig in xylene / butanol, mixed by dipping would be placed, a uniform film on degreased metal sheets and baked after drying in air, 30 minutes each at 180 ⁰ C and 200 ⁰ C. after 24 hours, pendulum hardness, pencil hardness were and Acetone resistance determined (see Table 2).

The technical properties of these coatings according to the invention Resin combinations are also to be regarded as very good, as Table 1 shows what a Another advantage of these stoving enamels is.

Further comparative tests

The melamine resin A according to the invention was mixed with an etherified melamine-formaldehyde resin according to FIG DT-AS 10 52 026, compared. The combination resins used were 50 percent by weight solutions of epichlorohydrin and bisphenol A commercially available polyglycidyl ethers with an epoxy equivalent from 1550 to 2000 in xylene ethyl glycol acetate 1: 1. Pigmented was based on T1O2 in a ratio of 1: 1 on the resin solid content. The mixtures were diluted with xylene-ethylglycol acetate (1: 1) and in a Ball mill abraded. The paint was adjusted to a spray viscosity of 27 sec / DIN 4 with xylene. Of the Film was applied in two cross-coats to glass plates or to bonded metal sheets, accordingly an average dry film thickness of 65 μ. Testing the Erichsen cupping and kink resistance was carried out on Bonder 97 sheets.

The combination ratios (based on solid resin
