Description

  The present invention relates to an anionic matte electrodeposition coating composition, and is particularly suitable for coating aluminum building materials, and can provide an electrodeposition coating film having excellent weather resistance, high hardness and excellent scratch resistance.

  Conventionally, anodized aluminum materials are light and strong, and are excellent in corrosion resistance. Therefore, they are widely used in building materials such as window frames, doors, and exteriors of buildings and houses. For the coating of aluminum materials, anionic electrodeposition paints with a single coat and good finish are generally used. A typical example of the anionic electrodeposition coating material is a melamine curable electrodeposition coating material prepared by blending a water-based acrylic resin containing a carboxyl group and a hydroxyl group with a melamine resin as a crosslinking agent and dispersing in water. However, in recent years, the required quality of aluminum building materials has been advanced, and in particular, in terms of weather resistance, scratch resistance, etc., performance that cannot be achieved by conventional products is required.

  Specifically, with respect to scratch resistance, reduction of scratches is required in every situation such as product manufacturing process, transportation process, and use site. There are various causes of scratches, such as rubbing between building materials, rubbing with spacers (corrugated cardboard, plastic, rope, etc.), rubbing with sand, dust, etc., in terms of reduced product yield or aesthetics. Building materials that have become a major problem and have excellent scratch resistance are demanded.

  As a conventional technique for improving the scratch resistance, there is a technique of mixing and using a silicone material having a relatively high hardness from the viewpoint of increasing the hardness of the coating film. In Patent Documents 1 and 2, a tetrafunctional alkoxysilane compound or a partial hydrolyzate thereof is used. However, alkoxysilane is a compound that basically hydrolyzes to produce silanols in the presence of water, and further silanols dehydrate to form siloxanes. In addition, the siloxane bond may return to the original silanol upon hydrolysis under acidic or alkaline conditions, and is a very unstable compound in the presence of water. Accordingly, electrodeposition coatings using alkoxysilanes or partial hydrolysates thereof also have a significant problem in stability, and it is difficult to ensure a stable coating appearance over time. Patent Document 3 is a technique of using colloidal silica in combination with a conventional anionic electrodeposition paint, but a matte paint film is obtained, but the paint film appearance is insufficient, and the chemical resistance, water resistance, etc. are inferior. There is. In Patent Document 4, it is a technique using organic hard resin particles in combination, but it is necessary to further increase the hardness and to improve the level of scratch resistance.

On the other hand, as a conventional technique for improving weather resistance, there is a technique of using a fluoroolefin polymer as a base resin of an electrodeposition paint. However, since the fluoroolefin polymer has poor solubility, it cannot be used as a base resin for coating as it is, and it is generally used by copolymerizing a fluoroolefin monomer and other monomers such as vinyl ether. It is. For example, Patent Documents 5 and 6 are cited. In this case, the paint suitability is improved to some extent, but it is still not sufficient, and the coating film hardness is insufficient. In particular, when used in water-based electrodeposition paints, there are significant problems with the finish feeling of the coating film, coating workability, paint stability, etc., and if the amount of monomers other than fluoroolefin increases, the weather resistance is increased. There is a problem that it decreases.
There is also a technique of using a fluoroalkyl ester of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid as a copolymer component of a base resin. Patent Document 7 is an example. In this case, since the fluorine atom exists only in the side chain of the base resin, there is almost no effect of improving weather resistance.
On the other hand, there is a technique that uses a light stabilizer to improve weather resistance. Patent Documents 8 and 9 correspond to this, and weather resistance is improved to some extent, but it is still insufficient in terms of ensuring unprecedented high hardness, scratch resistance, and sufficient weather resistance. This is a technology that needs improvement.

Below, the anion-type electrodeposition coating composition of this invention is demonstrated in detail.
[(A) Vinyl copolymer]
In the matte type, the vinyl polymer (A) used in the present invention comprises (a) an α, β-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer, (b) a hydroxyl group-containing α, β-ethylenically unsaturated monomer.

If the acid value of the vinyl copolymer (A) is less than 10 KOHmg / g (solid content), sufficient water dispersion stability is difficult to obtain, and if it exceeds 150 KOHmg / g (solid content), electrophoretic properties and coating film deposition properties are obtained. In addition, the water resistance and alkali resistance of the coating film are reduced.

  The hydroxyl group-containing α, β-ethylenically unsaturated monomer reacts with the amino resin (C) to impart curability when the coating film is baked. Illustrative examples include 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate, 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate, 4-hydroxybutyl methacrylate, diethylene glycol monoacrylate, diethylene glycol monomethacrylate, and the like.

  Such a hydroxyl group-containing α, β-ethylenically unsaturated monomer has a hydroxyl value in the vinyl copolymer (A) of 20 to 200 KOHmg / g (solid content), preferably 40 to 160 KOHmg / g (solid content). It is used in such a range. If the hydroxyl value is less than 20 KOHmg / g (solid content), sufficient curability cannot be ensured, and if it exceeds 200 KOHmg / g (solid content), the coating film becomes brittle and the water resistance is lowered to obtain sufficient performance. Hateful.

  In addition, α, β-ethylenically unsaturated monomers having a β-methyl-substituted glycidyl group and / or an alkoxysilyl group as a cross-linking functional group generate a stable insoluble microgel in the vinyl copolymer (A). And imparts matting performance. For example, β-methyl substituted glycidyl acrylate, β-methyl substituted glycidyl methacrylate, γ-acryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-acryloxypropyltriethoxysilane, γ-methacryloxy Examples thereof include propyltriethoxysilane and the like. After the electrodeposition coating composition of the present invention is dispersed in water by a method described later, a microgel is formed in the dispersed particles to reduce gloss.

  Furthermore, for other α, β-ethylenically unsaturated monomers, alkyl esters of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, or other vinyl monomers and amide monomers can be used.

These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  The Tg (glass transition temperature) of the vinyl copolymer (A) is 0 to 50 ° C. When the Tg is lower than 0 ° C., the physical properties, particularly the hardness, of the dried coating film are reduced, and the vinyl copolymer (B ) And the stability of the electrodeposition paint is reduced. Moreover, when Tg is high, it becomes difficult to obtain an electrodeposition coating film. About the concrete numerical value of Tg of a copolymer, it calculates with the formula of the following Fox. Moreover, the preferable weight average molecular weights of a vinyl copolymer (A) are 10,000-100,000, More preferably, it is 20,000-70,000. When the weight average molecular weight is 10,000 or less, the coating film durability is hardly obtained. When the weight average molecular weight is 100,000 or more, the water dispersibility is lowered, and the handleability of the paint tends to be poor. In addition, the weight average molecular weight said here is the value of polystyrene conversion by the general measurement by a gel permeation chromatography (GPC).

In this case, it is preferable to copolymerize the monomer exemplified in the section of the α, β-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer of the vinyl copolymer (A). However, even when the vinyl copolymer (B) does not have an acid value, the performance of the obtained coating film is not adversely affected.

  The α, β-ethylenically unsaturated monomer (e) having a Tg of homopolymer of 60 ° C. or more and 170 ° C. or less includes styrene (100 ° C.), α-methylstyrene (168 ° C.), vinyltoluene (isomer) 93 to 136 ° C, methyl methacrylate (105 ° C), ethyl methacrylate (65 ° C), isopropyl methacrylate (81 ° C), t-butyl methacrylate (118 ° C), cyclohexyl methacrylate (83 ° C), acrylonitrile (100 ° C) ), Acrylic acid (106 ° C.), methacrylic acid (130 ° C.), acrylamide (165 ° C.), etc., but are not limited to these (the temperature in parentheses of the monomer name is the homopolymer of each monomer) Of Tg).

If the content is less than 40% by weight, a sufficient effect of improving the hardness of the coating film cannot be obtained. If the content exceeds 90% by weight, the compatibility with the vinyl copolymer (A) decreases, Stability is reduced.

  As the hydroxyl group-containing α, β-ethylenically unsaturated monomer (f), the hydroxyl group-containing α, β-ethylenically unsaturated monomer (b) that can be used in the vinyl copolymer (A) is used. The content in the vinyl copolymer (B) is preferably 5 to 40% by weight. If it is less than 5% by weight, sufficient hardness improvement cannot be obtained upon curing by baking, and if it exceeds 40% by weight, the coating film becomes brittle and water resistance and the like are lowered.

  The preferable range of the amount of the amino resin used is 10 to 100 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the total solid content of the vinyl copolymer (A) and the vinyl copolymer (B). If it is less than this range, the coating film is insufficiently crosslinked, resulting in a decrease in hardness, mechanical properties, solvent resistance, chemical resistance, and the like. On the other hand, when the amount exceeds 100 parts by weight, the affinity with the vinyl copolymers (A) and (B) becomes insufficient, resulting in poor stability of the aqueous dispersion, non-uniform dispersion particle size, and after electrodeposition. Problems such as poor washability, water repellency, gloss unevenness of the coating film, and whitening occur, and an excess amino resin crosslinking agent does not contribute to crosslinking and remains as a plasticizer. Moreover, the more preferable range of the amount of amino resin is 20 to 90 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the total solid content of the vinyl copolymer (A) and the vinyl copolymer (B).

  Further, more preferable compounds are those having a pKb value of 7 or more, and have a lower basicity than compounds of less than 7, and thus behave as an almost neutral substance in the electrodeposition paint. Therefore, the influence on electrodeposition coating is extremely small. Of these, the amino ether type in which the above-OR 'group is bonded to the nitrogen atom in the piperidine skeleton is most preferable. When the amino ether type is used, electrodeposition coating is possible under almost the same conditions as when not using it. Also, when performing low-temperature curing using an acid catalyst in combination, the amino ether type does not function as a base and does not neutralize the acid catalyst, so the amount of acid catalyst is the same as when no light stabilizer is used. Low temperature curing is achieved. For compounds having a pKb value of 7 or more, specifically, Tinuvin 123 (pKb value 9.6), Tinuvin 5100 (pKb value 9.6), Tinuvin 152 (pKb values 7.0 and 9.4), Tinuvin 622 (PKb value 7.5), Sanol LS440 (pKb value> 11.5), and the like.

  The amount of the hindered amine type light stabilizer (D) used is preferably 0.1 to 10 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the total amount of the vinyl copolymers (A) and (B) and the amino resin (C). 0.1 to 3 parts by weight is more preferable.

  A curing catalyst can be added to the electrodeposition coating composition of the present invention in order to further improve the curability during baking of the coating film, and a sulfonic acid compound is preferred as the curing catalyst. Examples of the sulfonic acid compound include, but are not limited to, p-toluenesulfonic acid, cumenesulfonic acid, dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, dinonylnaphthalenesulfonic acid, dinonylnaphthalenedisulfonic acid, and amine salts thereof. .

The neutralization rate with such a basic substance is appropriately 20 to 120%, but particularly preferably 40 to 100%, since water dispersibility is good and gloss unevenness does not occur.

  In addition, it is also possible to further improve the weather resistance by using an ultraviolet absorbing group-containing compound. By using an ultraviolet absorbing group-containing monomer, a vinyl copolymer (A) or a vinyl copolymer (B) is used. It is also possible to incorporate it into Furthermore, additives such as antifoaming agents, leveling agents, and surfactants may be added as necessary. The technique of the present invention can also be applied to a colored type electrodeposition paint in combination with a pigment. Further, for example, a xylene resin, a polyester resin, a urethane resin, or the like can be used in combination according to required performance, workability, cost, and the like. In this case, it is used in the same manner as the crosslinking agent.

The object to which the electrodeposition coating composition of the present invention is applied is mainly aluminum or an aluminum alloy, but can be applied as long as it has electrical conductivity. Not only can high scratch resistance, coating film hardness and weather resistance not obtainable be achieved, it also has excellent mechanical properties, solvent resistance, chemical resistance, workability and the like.
