Description

  The present invention relates to a novel coating resin composition and a coating composition. More specifically, a coating film excellent in coating workability, acid rain resistance, stain resistance, water resistance, and weather resistance is obtained, and in particular, in the automobile coating field, a coating film particularly excellent in scratch resistance is obtained. The present invention relates to a coating resin composition and a coating composition to be obtained.

There is a need for a coating composition that can form a coating film excellent in acid resistance and scratch resistance, which is suitable as a top coating material for home appliances, automobile outer panels and the like.
As a technique using acid / epoxy crosslinking, (A) an acid value of 25 to 125 containing a (meth) acrylic acid derivative unit having a carboxyl group, a hydroxyl value of 30 to 150, a number average molecular weight of 500 to 10,000, and glass Epoxy equivalent 230 to 1500 containing an unsaturated copolymer unit having an acrylic copolymer having a transition temperature of -20 to 40 ° C. and (B) an epoxy group, a hydroxyl value of 30 to 150, and a number average molecular weight of 500 to 10,000 And an acrylic copolymer having a glass transition temperature of -20 to 40 ° C. and (C) amino resin, and the molar ratio of carboxyl group of component (A) / epoxy group of component (B) is 0.5 to 2, (C) The resin composition for coatings whose content of a component is 5-25 weight% with respect to resin solid content is known (for example, refer patent document 1). However, this resin composition for paints has a drawback that when a soft component in an amount showing sufficient scratch resistance is introduced, the crosslinking density of the coating film is lowered and the weather resistance and acid resistance are lowered.

  Moreover, as a method of forming a coating film excellent in acid resistance, car wash scuff resistance and chipping property, (A) polyepoxide and (B) polycarboxylic acid (a) 1 mol of a cyclic ester having 4 to 7 carbon atoms (B) A heat-curable coating composition containing a carboxyl group-containing compound obtained by ring-opening polymerization of 1 to 50 moles as an essential component, and a colored base coat and a clear top coat are sequentially formed on the material. In the method for forming a top coat film, a paint for forming the colored base coat and / or clear top coat is characterized in that the above paint composition is a resin component. (For example, refer to Patent Document 2). However, this coating composition has a drawback that when an amount of a cyclic ester exhibiting sufficient scratch resistance is added, the crosslinking density of the coating film is lowered and the weather resistance and acid resistance are lowered.

  Further, as a clear coating composition capable of forming a coating film having physical properties having a good balance in all properties of scratch resistance, acid resistance and solvent resistance, a half ester acid group-containing acrylic copolymer (1), Epoxy group-containing acrylic copolymer (2), and at least one carboxyl group-containing polymer (3) selected from the group consisting of carboxyl group-containing polyester polymer (3a) and carboxyl group-containing acrylic polymer (3b) The polymer of (1) to (3) comprises a soft segment portion represented by an ethylene bond having 4 or more carbon atoms, and the polymer of (1) to (3). 5 to 20% by mass based on the total amount of the combined solid content, and at least two of the polymers (1) to (3) are represented by the general formula (A). Clear coating composition characterized by having a soft segment portion is known (for example, see Patent Document 3). However, this clear coating composition has a drawback that when a soft segment part having sufficient scratch resistance is introduced, the crosslinking density of the coating film is lowered and the weather resistance and acid resistance are lowered.

  In addition, as a coating resin useful for high solids using acid / epoxy crosslinking reaction, ester addition reaction of 2,2-dimethylolalkanoic acid having 6 to 8 carbon atoms and monoglycidyl alkanoic acid ester A hydroxyl group-containing resin having an acid value of 20 mgKOH / g or less is known (for example, see Patent Document 4). However, when this resin is used, there is a drawback that it is difficult to obtain scratch resistance because it does not have a flexible component.

  In addition, as a resin composition for coatings containing an epoxy-modified polyurethane resin capable of forming a protective film excellent in water resistance, solvent resistance, adhesion, etc., an isocyanate compound (a), a polyol (b), and a hydroxycarboxylic acid are used. Carboxyl group-containing polyurethane polyol resin obtained by reacting acid (c) is such that the epoxy group is within the range of 0.1 to 1 equivalent with respect to 1 equivalent of epoxy compound (d) and carboxyl group. A coating resin composition comprising an epoxy-modified polyurethane resin (A) obtained by reacting and a curing agent (B) is known (see, for example, Patent Document 5). However, when this resin is used, the introduction of an amount of a flexible component exhibiting sufficient scratch resistance has the drawback that the weather resistance and acid resistance are lowered because the crosslinking density of the coating film is lowered.

  In addition, as a thermosetting clear coating composition that can provide a coating film that is excellent in resistance to acid rain and has a long-lasting anti-staining property, (A) a carboxyl group-containing polymer and (B) an epoxy group-containing vehicle A thermosetting clear coating composition containing silica fine particles having a primary particle diameter of 10 to 50 nm is known as a thermosetting clear coating containing a polymer (see, for example, Patent Document 6). However, this clear coating composition has a drawback that the weather resistance and acid resistance are lowered because the crosslinking density of the coating film is lowered when an amount of a soft component exhibiting sufficient scratch resistance is introduced.

Is preferably 100 to 250 mgKOH / g and a hydroxyl value of 5 to 150 mgKOH / g.

  A more preferable range of the epoxy group value of the component (A) is 130 to 230 mgKOH / g, and a particularly preferable range is 150 to 220 mgKOH / g. When the epoxy group value is less than 100 mgKOH / g, the reaction with the carboxyl group of the component (B) becomes insufficient, so the curability is inferior. When the epoxy group value exceeds 250 mgKOH / g, the curing distortion of the coating film increases. The appearance of the coating film decreases.

Moreover, the more preferable range of the hydroxyl value of (A) component is 10-100 mgKOH / g, and the especially preferable range is 20-70 mgKOH / g. When the hydroxyl value is less than 5 mgKOH / g, the crosslink density decreases, so the scratch resistance becomes insufficient. When the hydroxyl value exceeds 150 mgKOH / g, the copolymer has a high polarity, and the component (B) or (C) Since the compatibility with the components decreases, the appearance of the coating film decreases.
The weight average molecular weight of the (A) component copolymer is preferably 2,500 to 15,000, more preferably 3,000 to 10,000, and still more preferably 3,500 to 8,000. .

The particularly preferable range of the acid value of the resin of the component (B) is 140 to 250 mgKOH / g. When the acid value is less than 100 mgKOH / g, the reaction with the epoxy group of the component (A) becomes insufficient, and the curability is high. Inferior, when it exceeds 340 mgKOH / g, the curing distortion of a coating film becomes large and the coating film appearance deteriorates.

The hydroxyl value of the resin of component (B) is 100 mgKOH / g or less, a more preferred range is 80 mgKOH / g or less, and a more preferred range is 50 mgKOH / g or less.
When the hydroxyl value exceeds 100 mgKOH / g, the polarity of the resin increases, and the compatibility with the component (A) or the component (C) decreases, so that the appearance of the coating film decreases.
(B) As for the weight average molecular weight of resin of a component, 700-10,000 are preferable, More preferably, it is 1,000-8,000, More preferably, it is 1,300-6,000.
