Description

SPECIFICATION Steel Article Having Heavy-Duty Anticorrosive Coating Background of the Invention (1) Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a steel material or article having a novel heavy-duty coating, which is capable of assuredly preventing corrosinn and subsequent destruction of a pipe, a vessel, a construction or the like even when it is used under the ground or in a harbor or river for a long time.
(2) Description of the Related Art In the field of steel materials or articles having a heavy-duty anticorrosive coating, wide use was made of steel materials or articles coated with asphalt, fiber-reinforced asphalt or coal tar enamel, and steel materials coated with a coal tar epoxy resin. Recently, polyethylene-coated steel pipes, which are cheap and have excellent corrosion resistance (see Japanese Unexamined Patent Publications No. 50-2072, No.
50-143114 and No.47-34657) have been used for pipes and steel pipes for construction work. As the heavy-duty anticorrosive coating for steel materials other than steel pipes, there have been proposed a polyurethane mastic coating (Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 59-20077), an epoxy mastic coating (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No.57-133117) and a glass fiber-reinforced plastic coating (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No.58-29916).
Coating materials such as asphalt, fiber-reinforced asphalt and coal tar are defective in that, at high temperatures, they soften and become difficult to handle, and at low temperatures, they become brittle and are readily cracked. When these coating materials are used for coating, they must be heated to be fused.
This coating operation requires a great deal of skill and there arise problems such as the generation of stimulative gas and smell and the risk of self-ignition.
Furthermore, coal tar epoxy resin-coated steel materials have problems in that the curing speed of the coating is low, the operation adaptability after the coating operation is poor and since the strength of the coating is insufficient, deep cracks or penetrations are readily formed in the coating during transportation or working and peeling of the coating or pitting is readily advanced from these cracks or penetrations.
Moreover, a glass fiber-reinforced plastic coating is disadvantageous in that the coating cost is high.
The polyethylene coating has problems in that the coating equipment is large and combersome and a steel article having a complicated shape such as a steel pipe sheet pipe cannot be coated.
Moreover, the polyurethane mastic coating or epoxy mastic coating is unsatisfactory in that since an epoxy resin or a conventional polyurethane resin has hydrophilic groups in the molecule, the coating has a large water absorbing property and in a corrosive environment, the coating layer absorbs water to cause a reduction in the electrical insulating characteristics.
Summary ofthe Invention It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to eliminate the defects of conventional steel articles having a heavy-duty anticorrosive coating, namely, to provide a steel article having a heavy-duty anticorrosive coating, which has excellent corrosion resistance, water resistance, impact resistance and electrical insulation resistance.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a steel article having a heavy-duty anticorrosive coating, which is obtained by subjecting all or a part of the surface of a steel article to a pretreatment and forming thereon a coating of a polyurethane resin, wherein the polyurethane resin coating is formed by reacting a mixture comprising, as the main components, (a) a polyol having the main chain composed solely of carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms, containing at least two hydroxyi groups in the molecule and preferably having a hydroxyl value not largerthan 120 mg KOH/g, and (b) an organic polyisocyanate compound.
According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the polyurethane resin comprises (a) a polyol compound having a hydroxyl value not larger than 120 mg KOH/g, (b) an organic polyisocyanate, an organic compound, which is reactive with the organic polyisocyanate (b) and is, preferably, (c) a polyol having a hydroxyl value not larger than 120 mg KOH/g, other than the polyol compound (a), and/or (d) a compound having at least two hydroxyl groups and/or amino groups in the molecule and a hydroxyl value and/or amine value largerthan 120 mg KOH/g and, optionally, a catalyst, an extender, a plasticizer and a hygroscopic compound.The composition of the respective components is such that the amount of the polyol (a) is (100-x) parts by weight (in which xis from Oto 50), the amount of the polyol (c) is x parts by weight (x) is as defined above), the amount of the compound (d) is0 to 300 parts by weight, the amount of the compound (b) is such that the molar ratio NCO/(OH+NH2) of the isocyanate groups of the compound (b) to the sum of hydroxyl and amino groups of the polyol (a), the polyol (c) and the compound (d) is in the range of from 0.85 to 1.5, the amount of the catalyst isO to 10 parts by weight, the amount of the extender is 0 to 500 parts by weight, the amount of the plasticizer isO to 100 parts by weight and the amount of the hygroscopic compound is 0 to 30 parts by weight.
Brief Description of the Drawings Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a steel pipe having a heavy-duty anticorrosive coating, obtained in Example 1; Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a steel pipe sheet pile having a heavy-duty anticorrosive coating, obtained in Example 2; and Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing a steel sheet pile having a high-duty anticorrosive coating, obtained in Example 3.
Description of the Preferred Embodiments The steel article having a heavy-duty anticorrosive coating according to the present invention will now be described in detail.
As the polyol (a) of the polyurethane resin used in the present invention, there can be mentioned a hydroxyl-terminated liquid polybutadiene having at least two hydroxyl groups. In view of the elasticity of the coating, it is preferred that the hydroxyl value of the polyol (a) be not larger than 120 mg KOH/g.
Preferred polyols are marketed under the tradenames Poly bd R-45HT, Poly bd R-45 and Poly bd CS-15 (supplied by Idemitsu Petro. Chem. Co.), Nisso PBG-2000 and Nisso PBG-3000 (supplied by Nippon Soda Co.), and Polytale (supplied by Mitsubishi Chem. Ind. Ltd.).
As the compound (b), there can be mentioned tolylene diisocyanate (hereinafter referred to as "TDI"), crude diphenylmethane diisocyanate (hereinafter referred to as "crude MDI"), liquid diphenylmethane diisocyanate (hereinafter referred to as "liquid MDI"), hexamethylene diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, methylene-bis(cyclohexyl isocyanate), xylylene diisocyanate, hydrogenated tolylene diisocyanate and hydrogenated xylylene diisocyanate.
As the polyol (c), there can be mentioned polyoxyalkylene polyols, polytetramethylene ether glycol and polyester polyols, each having a hydroxyl group value not larger than 120 mg KOH/g.
As the compound (d), there can be mentioned compounds having at least two hydroxyl groups, such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butane-diol, neopentyl glycol, hexane-diol, octane-dioi, hydroquinone, bisphenol A, trimethylol propane, glycerol, pentaerythritol, triethanol amine and bis(2-hydroxypropyl) aniline, and their alkylene oxide addition products; compounds having at least two amino groups, such as diaminodiphenylmethane, methylene-bis(orthochloroaniline) (hereinafter referred to as "MOCA"), phenylene diamine, tolylene diamine, ethylene diamine and piperazine; and compounds having at least two amino and hydroxyl groups, such as monoethanol amine, diethanol amine, aminoethylethanol amine and compounds formed by adding an alkylene oxide to parts of amino groups of the above-mentioned compounds having at least two amino groups.The hydroxyl value and/or the amine value of each of these compounds is larger than 120 mg KOH/g.
The polyurethane resin used for formation of the main coating layer in the present invention may further comprise a catalyst, an extender, a plasticizer, and a hygroscopic compound according to need.
As the catalyst, there can be mentioned organometallic compounds such as dibutyltin dilaurate, stannous octoate, dibutyltin diacetate, lead octylate and lead naphthenate, and amine compounds such as triethylamine and triethylenediamine.
As the extender, there can be mentioned inorganic powders such as calcium carbonate, silicates, mica powder and glass flake.
As the plasticizer, there can be mentioned coal tar, process oil, a liquid petroleum resin, dibutyl phthalate, dioctyi phthalate and chlorinated paraffin.
As the hygroscopic compound, there can be mentioned powdery silica gel and zeolite having a variety of fine pores capable of absorbing water therein, anhydrous calcium chloride and gypsum absorbing water as water of crystallization, and calcium oxide capable of absorbing water by reaction with water.
In the polyurethane resin to be used for formation of the coating in the present invention, the mixing ratio of the polyol (a) and the optional polyol (c) is such that the amount of the polyol (a) is 100 to 50 parts by weight and the amount of the polyols (c) is 0 to 50 parts by weight, with the proviso that the sum of the amounts ofthe polyols (a) and (c) is 100 parts by weight. If the amount ofthe polyol (a) is smaller than 50 parts by weight, the water absorption of the resin is undesirably increased and hence, the insulation resistance is reduced. Where a polyolester polyol is used as the polyol (c), if the amount of the polyol (a) is smaller than 50 parts by weight, deterioration of the resin by hydrolysis is caused.
The compound (d) may be used in an amount of O to 300 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the sum of the polyols (a) and (c). It is preferred that the average hydroxyl value of the polyols (a) and (c) and the compound (d) orthe sum of the average hydroxyl value and the average amine value be 100 to 300 mg KOH/g. Generally, a reduction of the average hydroxyl value results in a reduction of the mechanical strength. On the other hand, the cold resistance is improved by a reduction of the average hydroxyl value, and conversely, as the hydroxyl value is increased, the mechanical strength is improved but the cold resistance is degraded. If the hydroxyl value is further increased, the resin becomes brittle.
The compound (b) should be used in an amount such that the molar ratio NCO/(OH+NH2) of the isocyanate groups of the compound (b) to the sum of the hydroxyl and amino groups of the polyols (a) and (c) and the compound (d) is in the range of from 0.85 to 1.5. If this ratio is lower than 0.85, curing is insufficient and the resin becomes viscous. On the other hand, if this ratio is higher than 1.5, the free isocyanate group reacts with water in the air and blistering readily occurs in the coating layer.
It is preferred that the amounts of the catalyst, extender, plasticizer and hygroscopic compound, to be used according to need, be 0 to 10 parts by weight, 0 to 500 parts by weight, 0 to 100 parts by weight and 0 to 30 parts by weight, respectively.
Sometimes the steel article having a heavy-duty anticorrosive coating is cut by a gas burner for alteration of the size, etc. at the piping step or the step of assembling a structure. During this cutting operation, cutting is often rendered difficult because the coating layer composed of a polyurethane resin catches alight. In this case, if a flame retardant such as aluminum hydroxide, antimonyl oxide or chlorinated paraffin is added to the polyurethane resin, the cutting operation by a gas burner is facilitated.
Where the coated steel article is used outdoors for a long time, whitening of the surface of the coating composed of the polyurethane resin, that is, so-called "chalking", occurs. Chalking is a phenomenon which occurs only in a very top surface portion of the coating and has no substantial influence on the anticorrosive function of the coating. Where, in view of the appearance characteristics, it is necessary to prevent chalking, this can be done by forming a coating of an acrylic urethane resin on the coating composed of the polyurethane resin. Preferably a product formed by reacting an acrylic polymer with a urethane prepolymer having a terminal isocyanate group is used as the acrylic urethane resin.
As the steel article used in the present invention, there can be mentioned, for example, a steel pipe, a steel pipe sheet pile, a steel sheet pile, an H beam and a steel plate. More specifically, there can be mentioned steel pipes for underground piping, submarine piping and ground piping, and piling steel pipes, steel pipe sheet piles, steel sheet piles and H beams for marine construction, sea and river shore protection construction and other exposed constructions such as bridges.To improve the adhesion between the coating layer composed of the polyurethane resin and the steel material, it is preferred that, after cleaning the surface of the steel material by blast working or the like, (1) an epoxy prime layer be formed, (2) a chemical conversion treatment of the chromic acid type be carried out or (3) a chromic acid type chemical conversion treatment be carried out and an epoxy primer layer be then formed thereon. As the chromic acid type chemical conversion treatment agent, there may be used an aqueous solution of a composite oxide of hexavalent chromium oxide and trivalent chromium oxide obtained by partially reducing hexavalent chromium oxide, and a solution formed by adding to the above aqueous solution glycerol or polyvinyl alcohol as a reduction-promoting substance or silica as a substance capable of improving the adhesion to the coating.
As the epoxy type primer lacquer, there may be used a composition comprising a bisphenol A type epoxy resin as a main component and, incorporated therein, a modified amine curing agent and an inorganic pigment according to need.
To obtain a steel article having a heavy-duty anticorrosive coating according to the present invention, the surface of the steel article is cleaned by blasting or the like and a coating composed of a polyurethane resin is then formed thereon. Before formation of the coating layer of the polyurethane resin, and according to need, an epoxy type primer layer is formed on the surface of the steel article or a chromic acid type chemical conversion treatment is carried out, or after the chromic acid type chemical conversion treatment, an epoxy type primer layer is formed.
For formation of the polyurethane resin coating, the following methods may be adopted.
(1) A method in which a first liquid formed by uniformly mixing the polyols (a) and (c) and the compound (d), optionally with predetermined amounts of the catalyst, extender and plasticizer, and the second liquid of the compound (b) are separately stored, and at the time of application, the first and second liquids are mixed together and coated on the steel article by using a two-liquid mixing type spray coater.
(2) A method in which a first liquid (prepolymer) formed by reacting parts of the polyols (a) and (c) and the compound (d) with all of the compound (b) and a second liquid formed by uniformly mixing together the remaining parts of the polyols (a) and (c) and the compound (d), optionally with the catalyst, extender and plasticizer, are separately stored, and at the time of application, the first and second liquids are mixed together and coated on the steel article by a trowel.
(3) A method in which a liquid composition formed by mixing together the respective components is cast on the steel article from the upper portion thereof by using a multiple-component mixing foaming machine and uniformly coated by a trowel or the like.
In these methods, the curing rate may be controlled according to the amount of the catalyst. It is preferred that a relatively thick coating be carried out so that the thickness of the coating layer is at least 1 mm. If a desired thickness cannot be obtained by performing the coating operation only once, the coating operation may be carried out repeatedly.
If spray coating is carried out under specific conditions, for example, under high humidity conditions, water in the air is absorbed and reacts with the isocyanate to form foam in the coating, which results in a reduction of the strength, water absorption and insulating property of the coating. In this case, the formation of foam in the coating can be prevented if coating is carried out after incorporating a hygroscopic compound into the polyurethane resin.
As apparent from the foregoing description, the coated steel article of the present invention has a heavy-duty anticorrosive coating of a polyurethane resin, which has a low water-absorption, a high electrical insulation property, excellent mechanical characteristics and a long-period stability. Accordingly, the coated steel article of the present invention has an excellent corrosion resistance under the ground, in the sea and for other exposed conditions.
In the polyurethane resin of the present invention, the contents of hydrophilic atomic groups such as ether linkages and ester linkage are much lower than in conventional polyurethane resins, and therefore, the water absorption of the polyurethane resin is small. Moreover, the proportion of non-polar hydrocarbon groups in the molecule is large and hence, the electrical insulation property is high. Even if the polyurethane coating is exposed to sea water or fresh water, reduction of the electrical insulation property is very small.
Accordingly, the coating layer of the present invention retains an excellent corrosion resistance for a long time. The molecular structure of the polyurethane resin of the present invention comprises very soft portions composed of long-chain hydrocarbon groups and rich in the softness, which are known as "soft segments", and portions composed of aromatic rings and highly crosslinked atomic groups and having a high rigidity, which are known as "hard segments". Accordingly, the polyurethane resin of the present invention is characterized in that it has a combination of a high mechanical strength and a high softness.
Therefore, the coating of the present invention has a high durability against shock or bending during transportation or working.
The polyurethane resin of the present invention is distinguishable over conventional polyurethane resins in that since the content of the ester linkage readily undergoing hydrolysis or the ether linkage readily undergoing ultraviolet ray deterioration or oxidative deterioration in the molecule is very low, the coating layer of the polyurethane resin layer of the present invention has an excellent resistance to ultraviolet ray deterioration, resistance to oxidative deterioration, water resistance and chemical resistance. Therefore, the polyurethane resin of the present invention is suitable for forming an anticorrosive coating for piping work or construction which will be in use for a long time and in which intermediate maintenance is difficult.
The present invention will now be described in detail bythefollowing examples.
All of "parts in the examples are by weight.
