Definitions

• This invention relates to epoxy ester urethane polymers having acrylic portions grafted thereto. More particularly, it relates to coating compositions containing such polymers.
• Epoxy graft acrylic water-based primer surfacers are claimed in U.S. 4,564,648, of January 14, 1986 - Huybrechts and Vlerainckx, but they do not include urethane grafts.
• the present invention is an improvement over this one in giving better chip resistance over well cured electrocoats. for instance. This requires a careful balance of flexibility and hardness in different portions of the polymer.
• the present invention provides a dispersion in water, in percentages by weight based on the total dispersion, of:
• organic solvents such dispersion having not more than 10% volatile organic solvents plus amines, and
• the present invention is made possible by a new method of synthesis of an epoxy ester urethane graft acrylic polymer.
• the process involves the synthesis of a linear epoxy ester formed by reaction at 80-190°C of an oxirane terminated bisphenol A epoxy resin with aliphatic diacid-functional linear urethane esters and monoacids in approximately stoichiometric proportions so that all the oxirane groups and acid groups have reacted.
• the reaction is done in a minimum amount of an organic solvent, preferably aromatic for ease of stripping, preferably using a small percentage of a tertiary araine as catalyst.
• an acid functional acrylic is grafted onto the epoxy ester urethane using a peroxide or azo initiator. Grafting onto the epoxy ester urethane is believed to go via hydrogen abstraction of activated carbon-hydrogen bonds.
• the acid functionality on the epoxy ester urethane is neutralized with a tertiary amine (50-200% neutralization), the polymer is dispersed in deionized water and the excess organic solvents are distilled off.
• epoxy ester urethane acrylic dispersions then contain a minimum of organic solvents, so as to be able to formulate primer compositions, preferably with no more than 5% organic volatiles, including amines.
• primer surfacers When combined with water soluble or dispersible crosslinkers, like hexamethoxymethylmelamine, pigments and extenders, primer surfacers can be formulated which show good corrosion resistance over bare steel, an excellent balance of hardness, flexibility, improved anti-chipping properties, good topcoat hold-out and appearance.
• primer surfacers can be baked for 30 min at from 160°C to 200°C. still retaining their basic properties.
• the primers can be applied by conventional or electrostatic spraying.
• rheology control agents and flow agents can be used. Silica or clay pastes are quite successful for rheology control to prevent pinholing and sagging, and water soluble or dispersible linear or branched polyethylene glycols or polypropyleneglycols are efficient for flow properties.
• the primer surfacers show excellent initial and wet adhesion over bare steel and cathodic electrodeposited primers. Adhesion and hold-out of conventional topcoats (polyester, alkyd. acrylic) is very good over broad temperature ranges. Hold-out is the resistance to interpenetration at the interface between the layers of primer surfacer and topcoat applied in organic solvents.
