Description

  The present invention relates to a chipping resistant coating applied to automobiles for the purpose of rust prevention and soundproofing, and more particularly to a chipping resistant coating composition that does not cause a pollution problem due to generation of hydrogen chloride at the time of incineration of used vehicles.

  Chipping-resistant paint is applied to the underside of automobiles, side sills, whale tanks, front apron, tire houses, etc. for the purpose of rust prevention and soundproofing, but this paint has conventionally been a so-called vinyl chloride sol containing a vinyl chloride resin. Mainly paint.

  In recent years, pollution problems caused by the generation of hydrogen chloride at the time of incineration of used vehicles have been highlighted, and the development of anti-chipping coatings that do not contain vinyl chloride resin has been urgently required.

  As one means, water-based anti-chipping paints as seen in Patent Documents 1 and 2 and acrylic sol-type anti-chipping paints based on acrylic resin as shown in Patent Documents 3 and 4 were developed. It was done.

  However, for water-based paints, all of the painting equipment used to introduce them must be replaced with rust-free equipment such as stainless steel, which requires a great investment. On the other hand, the acrylic sol paint has already been put into practical use, but the strength of the cured film is low and it is difficult to make it thin.

In addition, a one-pack type chipping-resistant paint mainly composed of a urethane resin has been developed. However, a large amount of solvent is contained for spray coating, which is not preferable for safety and hygiene.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and the present inventors have conducted intensive research in order to provide a paint that can reduce pollution problems and safety and health problems and that can use conventional coating equipment as it is. As a result, by using fine powder blocked urethane, the present inventors have completed the present invention by finding a paint that can be easily applied by spraying even with a small amount of solvent and that does not generate hydrogen chloride during incineration.

  The present invention eliminates the generation of hydrogen chloride due to incineration of used vehicles because it does not contain vinyl chloride resin, and has a variety of advantages such as less environmental load due to less solvent generation during spraying. An object of the present invention is to provide a paint composition.

  The chipping-resistant coating composition of the present invention includes a blocked urethane compound (A) that regenerates isocyanate by heating, a compound (B) containing a hydroxyl group and / or an amino group that reacts with the compound (A), and a filler. A coating composition for chipping resistance containing (C), wherein the equivalent ratio of the compound (A) to the compound (B) is 0.5 to 2.0, and the compound (A) is a blocking agent. Is a blocked urethane of diphenylmethane 4,4′-diisocyanate obtained by reacting with the compound, wherein the dissociation temperature of the blocking agent is 100 ° C. to 140 ° C., and heating for regenerating isocyanate in the compound (A) The temperature is 100 ° C. or higher, and the compound (A) is a fine powder having a melting point of 100 ° C. to 160 ° C. and a particle size of 0.01 μm to 50 μm, and the compound (B) Is a hydroxyl group-containing polyether polyol having a molecular weight of 300 to 3000 and having 2 or more functional groups, and / or a 1 to 3 functional group-containing polyamine having a molecular weight of 200 to 6000.

  The coating composition for chipping resistance of the present invention does not contain vinyl chloride resin, so that generation of hydrogen chloride due to incineration of used vehicles is eliminated, and the amount of solvent generated during spraying is small, so the burden on the environment is small. Has various advantages.

  The chipping-resistant coating composition of the present invention comprises a blocked urethane compound (A) that regenerates isocyanate by heating, a compound (B) containing a hydroxyl group and / or amino group that reacts with the compound (A), and a filler ( C) and a coating composition for chipping resistance, wherein the equivalent ratio of the compound (A) to the compound (B) is 0.5 to 2.0. The equivalent ratio is more preferably 0.8 to 1.2. When the equivalent ratio is less than 0.5, curing is poor. Moreover, when an equivalent ratio exceeds 2.0, a compound (B) becomes excess and the physical property of hardened | cured material falls.

  The heating temperature for regenerating isocyanate in the compound (A) is preferably 100 ° C. or higher, and the compound (A) is preferably a fine powder having a melting point of 100 ° C. to 160 ° C. and a particle size of 50 μm or less. If the melting point of the compound (A) does not reach 100 ° C., defects such as fusion occur during coating production and dispersion failure occurs, or fusion occurs during storage of the finished coating, resulting in a viscosity increase. Further, when the melting point of the compound (A) exceeds 160 ° C., it is melted when baked in a normal intermediate coating furnace (130 to 150 ° C., 15 to 40 minutes) or a top coating furnace (130 to 150 ° C., 15 to 40 minutes). Defects occur such as poor reaction and insufficient surface of the cured film.

  Further, when the particle diameter of the compound (A) exceeds 50 μm, problems such as chip clogging occur when the finished paint is sprayed with airless spray. Furthermore, when this particle size exceeds 50 μm, melting failure occurs when baked in a normal intermediate coating furnace (130 to 150 ° C., 15 to 40 minutes) or top coating furnace (130 to 150 ° C., 15 to 40 minutes). As a result, problems such as insufficient reaction and uneven surface of the cured film occur. The lower limit of the particle size of the compound (A) is not particularly limited, but for example, a particle size of about 0.01 μm can be used.

  Suitable starting components of the heat-regenerated blocked urethane compound (A) used in the present invention are di- or polyisocyanates and mixtures thereof. However, these components require that the blocked urethane compound (A) obtained by reacting with the blocking agent is solid at room temperature.

  Suitable di- or polyisocyanates include aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, araliphatic and preferably heterocyclic polyisocyanates such as those found in JP-A-7-278257, such as aniline / formaldehyde condensation followed by phosgene.

  Examples of the blocking agent used to obtain the blocked urethane compound (A) include oxime compounds (acetooxime, methyl ethyl ketoxime, methyl isobutyl ketoxime, etc.), lactams (ε-caprolactam, etc.), active methylene compounds ( Diethyl malonate, acetylacetone, ethyl acetoacetate, etc.), phenols (phenol, m-cresol, etc.), alcohols (methanol, ethanol, n-butanol, etc.), hydroxyl group-containing ethers (methylcellsolve, butylcellsolve, etc.), Hydroxyl-containing esters (such as methyl lactate and amyl lactate), mercaptans (such as butyl mercaptan and hexyl mercaptan), acid amides (such as acetanilide, acrylic amide, and dimer amide), imidazoles (imida) Lumpur, such as 2-ethyl imidazole), imides (succinimide, phthalic acid imide), amines (such as dicyclohexylamine), and mixtures of two or more thereof.

  Of these, oxime compounds, phenols and amines are preferred, and methyl ethyl ketoxime, phenol and dicyclohexylamine are particularly preferred. Since these dissociation temperatures are relatively low at 100 ° C. to 140 ° C., the reaction proceeds sufficiently even when applied to automobiles as anti-chipping paints.

  As the compound (B), it is preferable to use a hydroxyl group-containing polyether polyol or polyester polyol having a molecular weight of 300 to 3000 and having 2 or more functional groups, and / or a 1-3 functional group-containing polyamine having a molecular weight of 200 to 6000. When the molecular weight of the compound (B) of a hydroxyl group-containing polyether polyol or polyester polyol having two or more functional groups does not reach 300, the physical properties of the cured product are lowered. On the other hand, when the molecular weight exceeds 3000, the viscosity becomes high, which hinders the spraying workability by airless spray. Similarly, the physical property of hardened | cured material falls that the molecular weight of the compound (B) of 1-3 functional group containing polyamine is less than 200. On the other hand, when the molecular weight exceeds 6000, the viscosity becomes high, which impairs the spraying workability by airless spray.

  The polyether polyol used in the present invention is selected from known ones having 2 or more, preferably 2 to 6 hydroxyl groups.

  These polyether polyols include ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol, glycerin, trimethylolpropane, hexanetriol, polytetramethylene ether glycol, pentaerythritol, sorbitol, shoecloth, polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, Examples include polytetramethylene glycol and tertiary nitrogen-containing polyol.

  Among these, a tertiary nitrogen-containing polyol is preferable, and a molecular weight of 300 to 3000 is preferable. When this molecular weight does not reach 300, the physical properties of the cured product are lowered. On the other hand, when the molecular weight exceeds 3000, the viscosity becomes high, which hinders workability.

  Examples of polyester polyols include polycarboxylic acids (for example, aliphatic polycarboxylic acids such as adipic acid, maleic acid, and dimerized linoleic acid, and aromatic polycarboxylic acids such as phthalic acid) as disclosed in JP-B-64-11232.

  Of these, polyether polyamine is preferred, and has a molecular weight of about 200 to 6000, preferably 400 to 5000, and more preferably 1000 to 5000. If the molecular weight is less than 200, the physical properties of the cured product are lowered. On the other hand, when the molecular weight exceeds 6000, the viscosity becomes high and the workability is hindered.

  The chipping-resistant coating composition of the present invention contains the filler (C) as an essential component and is used in an amount of 5 to 50% by weight, preferably 10 to 30% by weight, based on the total weight of the coating. If the amount used exceeds 50% by weight, the coating strength after the coating is cured is weak and the antirust function as a chipping resistant coating cannot be performed. On the other hand, if it is less than 5% by weight, workability, in particular, sagging property is deteriorated, and the prescribed coating thickness cannot be obtained.

  Generally, examples of the filler include talc, clay, kaolin, heavy calcium carbonate, light calcium carbonate, barium sulfate, silica, titanium oxide, aluminum silicate, magnesium oxide, and zinc oxide. Can be used in combination.

  The composition of the present invention is optionally composed of known acrylic resins, such as polymethyl methacrylate having a molecular weight of 5 to 2 million and methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, normal butyl methacrylate, isobutyl methacrylate, tertiary butyl methacrylate, cyclohexyl methacrylate, ethyl hexyl methacrylate.
