Abstract
Five parts by weight of an epoxy resin produced from diphenylol propane and epichlorhydrin are reacted with 0.2 to 3.4 (preferably 1 to 3) parts by weight of furfuramide or 3-methyl-5-furylpyrazoline at 140 to 160 DEG C, cooled to at most 30 DEG C and ground to form a powder. The reaction may be carried out in the presence of trifuryl borate as a flame retardant: such powders may be self-extinguishing or non-inflammable. The powders have better storage life (up to 6 months) and blocking resistance (up to 45 days without blocking) than comparable powdered modified epoxy resins.
Description
SPECIFICATION
Method of preparing a powdered modified epoxy resin
The present invention is concerned with the production of powdered modified epoxy resins, which can be used for purposes such as protective coatings (produced by spraying, for example), laminates, foams and mouldings.
The method according to the invention comprises reacting 5 parts by weight of an epoxy resin produced from diphenylol propane (bisphenol A) and epichlorhydrin with 0.2 to 3.4 parts by weight of a nitrogen-containing furan monomer, namely, furfuramide or3 - methyl - 5 - furylpyrazoline at a reaction temperature of 140 to 1600C, followed by cooling to a temperature not exceeding 30"C and grinding to produce a powder.
When the nitrogen-containing furan monomer is 3 - methyl - 5 - furylpyrazoline, it is preferred that the reaction temperature is 150 to 1600C, and that the number of parts by weightthereof is 1 to 3 per 5 parts by weight of epoxy resin.
The resulting powders have better storage life (up to 6 months without deterioration of the original properties) and blocking resistance (up to 45 days without clogging) than broadly similar powdered modified epoxy resins. The method according to the invention is technically simple and does not need complicated equipment. The desired modified epoxy resin can be obtained in high yield (that is, up to about 92%).
It is sometimes advantageous for the reaction to be carried out in the presence of trifuryl borate, perferably in an amount of 0.05 to 0.6 parts by weight per 5 parts by weight of epoxy resin. By this means powders which are self-extinguishing or noninflammable can be obtained.
The powdered modified epoxy resins prepared according to the invention can be cured in the normal way; the resulting cured polymers may have good heat deformation properties, such as a Vicat softening point of up to 230"C.
In orderthat the invention may be more fully understood, the following Examples are given by way of illustration only.
Example 1
Into a reactor provided with a heating means, reflux condenser, thermometer and a stirrer there were charged 700 g of an epoxy resin produced by polycondensation of epichlorohydrin and diphenylolpropane, the resin having 22 to 24% epoxy groups, and 28 g of furfuramide (the weight ratio between these components was 5:0.2).
The reactor was heated to 16000 and the components were allowed to react at this temperature for 12 hours. The resulting furan-epoxy binder (obtained in a yield of 92%) was discharged from the reactor, cooled to 200C and ground to a powder of predetermined particle size.
Example 2.
Into a reactor similar to that described in Example 1, there was charged 700g of an epoxy resin having 20 to 22% epoxy groups which was produced from epichlorhydrin and diphenylol propane, and 140 g of fu rfu ramide. The weight ratio between these components was 5:1.
The reactor was heated to 145"C and the components were allowed to react at this temperature for 1.3 hours. The resulting furan-epoxy binder (obtained in a yield of 90%) was discharged from the reactor, cooled to 25"C and then ground to a powder.
