【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、カチオン電着塗料組成物に関し、詳しくは鉛化合物を含まなくても防食性、仕上り性等に優れた電着塗膜を形成できる鉛フリ−のカチオン電着塗料組成物に関する。
【0002】
【従来技術及びその課題】
電着塗料は、つきまわり性に優れ、また耐久性や防食性などの性能に優れた塗膜を形成することができるため、従来より、それらの性能が要求される用途分野、例えば自動車車体の塗装、電気器具の塗装等に広く採用されている。
【0003】
該電着塗料には、その防食性をさらに向上させるために、鉛化合物やクロム化合物などの防錆剤が配合されてきたが、これらは非常に有害であり、公害対策上その使用には問題があった。そのため、これら鉛化合物やクロム化合物に代わる無毒性ないし低毒性の防錆剤について種々検討が行われており、防錆能を発揮する金属種としてビスマス、亜鉛などが知られている。
【0004】
そこで本出願人は、ビスマス化合物を含めたカチオン電着塗料について提案した(例えば特開平5−65439号など)。該電着塗料によれば防食性及び低温硬化性に優れた塗膜が形成可能であるが、ビスマス化合物が水不溶性のため十分均一に分散されないため塗料中に沈降物が生じやすいという問題があった。
【0005】
他方、ビスマスを用いる手法として、特表平7−506870号、特表平9−505837号、特表平9−502225号、特開平8−60046号公報には、脂肪族ヒドロキシカルボン酸のビスマス塩を含む電着塗料が開示されている。これらの手法では、電着塗料の中和剤として乳酸のような脂肪族ヒドロキシカルボン酸を用いないと塗液の安定性が悪く沈降物を生じてしまう。また該乳酸を多量に使用すると、電着塗装時にその強い酸性度のために電着塗膜の硬化性が低下し、また塗膜の防食性にも悪影響を及ぼすという問題がある。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、上記問題を解決すべく鋭意検討した結果、電着塗料に特定の有機酸ビスマス塩の水溶液を添加することにより、電着浴中に均一に分散可能で、且つ鉛化合物等を用いなくとも仕上り性、防食性に優れた電着塗膜が得られることを見出し本発明に到達した。
【0007】
即ち本発明は、脂肪族アルコキシカルボン酸ビスマス塩水溶液を含有することを特徴とするカチオン電着塗料組成物を提供するものである。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明において、脂肪族アルコキシカルボン酸ビスマス塩水溶液は、水の存在下で、脂肪族アルコキシカルボン酸とビスマス化合物を反応させることによって製造される。
【0009】
該ビスマス塩の製造に用いられる脂肪族アルコキシカルボン酸としては、例えば全炭素数が16以下、好ましくは8以下のものが適当であり、特に脂肪族炭化水素基(2価)の炭素数が6以下で、アルコキシ基としてメトキシ基、エトキシ基を有するものが好適であり、具体例としては、例えばメトキシ酢酸、エトキシ酢酸、3−メトキシプロピオン酸などが挙げられる。これらのうち、特にメトキシ酢酸が好適である。これらは単独又は2種以上併用して用いてもよい。
【0010】
上記脂肪族アルコキシカルボン酸ビスマス塩水溶液の製造に用いられるビスマス化合物としては、酸化ビスマス、水酸化ビスマス、塩基性炭酸ビスマスなどが挙げられ、特に酸化ビスマスが好適である。該ビスマス化合物と上記脂肪族アルコキシカルボン酸との反応比は、種々選択可能であり、例えば水の存在下で、酸化ビスマス1モルに脂肪族アルコキシカルボン酸3〜8モル、好ましくは3.4〜7モルを反応させて脂肪族アルコキシカルボン酸ビスマス塩水溶液が得られる。脂肪族アルコキシカルボン酸が3モル未満ではビスマス塩の水溶化が困難であり、8モルを越えると過剰の酸が電着浴に入ることになり電着塗装性が低下するので望ましくない。また水酸化ビスマスを用いた場合にも同様に、これ1モルに脂肪族アルコキシカルボン酸1.5〜4モル、好ましくは1.7〜3.5モルを反応させて得ることができる。
【0011】
上記脂肪族アルコキシカルボン酸ビスマス塩水溶液は、電着塗料組成物に添加する際に、電着塗料組成物の水分散前に添加してもよいし、電着塗料組成物の水分散後に添加してもよい。電着塗料組成物の水分散前に添加する場合には該ビスマス塩水溶液の固形分濃度に特に制限はないが、電着塗料組成物の水分散後に添加する場合には該ビスマス塩水溶液の固形分濃度を60重量%以下にすることが望ましい。かかる操作は電着塗料組成物中に該ビスマス塩水溶液が均一に分散されるために必要である。尚、塗料配合の容易さ、貯蔵安定性からは、電着塗料組成物の水分散後に該ビスマス塩水溶液を添加することが好ましい。
【0012】
上記脂肪族アルコキシカルボン酸ビスマス塩水溶液の添加量は、厳密に規定されるものではなく、電着塗料に要求される性能に応じて広範囲にわたって変えることができるが、通常、電着塗料中の樹脂固形分100重量部に対するビスマス含有量が0.01〜10重量部、好ましくは0.05〜5重量部となるようにするのが好適である。該ビスマス含有量が0.01重量部未満では、形成される塗膜の防錆性が十分でなく、10重量部を越えると、電着塗料の安定性が低下する傾向がみられる。
【0013】
上記脂肪族アルコキシカルボン酸ビスマス塩が添加される電着塗料組成物は、カチオン型であり、基体樹脂としては、エポキシ系、アクリル系、ポリブタジエン系、アルキド系、ポリエステル系などのいずれの樹脂でも使用することができるが、なかでも例えばアミン付加エポキシ樹脂に代表されるポリアミン樹脂が好ましい。
【0014】
上記アミン付加エポキシ樹脂としては、例えば、(i)ポリエポキシ化合物と1級モノ−及びポリアミン、2級モノ−及びポリアミン又は1、2級混合ポリアミンとの付加物(例えば、米国特許第3,984,299号明細書参照);(ii)ポリエポキシド化合物とケチミン化された1級アミノ基を有する2級モノ−及びポリアミンとの付加物(例えば、米国特許第4,017,438号明細書参照);(iii)ポリエポキシド化合物とケチミン化された1級アミノ基を有するヒドロキシ化合物とのエ−テル化により得られる反応物(例えば、特開昭59−43013号公報参照)等を挙げることができる。
【0015】
上記アミン付加エポキシ樹脂の製造に使用されるポリエポキシド化合物は、エポキシ基を1分子中に2個以上有する化合物であり、一般に少なくとも200、好ましくは400〜4000、更に好ましくは800〜2000の範囲内の数平均分子量を有するものが適しており、特にポリフェノ−ル化合物とエピクロルヒドリンとの反応によって得られるものが好ましい。該ポリエポキシド化合物の形成のために用い得るポリフェノ−ル化合物としては、例えば、ビス(4−ヒドロキシフェニル)−2,2−プロパン、4,4−ジヒドロキシベンゾフェノン、ビス(4−ヒドロキシフェニル)−1,1−エタン、ビス(4−ヒドロキシフェニル)−1,1−イソブタン、ビス(4−ヒドロキシ−tert−ブチル−フェニル)−2,2−プロパン、ビス(2−ヒドロキシナフチル)メタン、テトラ(4−ヒドロキシフェニル)−1,1,2,2−エタン、4,4−ジヒドロキシジフェニルスルホン、フェノ−ルノボラック、クレゾ−ルノボラック等を挙げることができる。
【0016】
該ポリエポキシド化合物は、ポリオ−ル、ポリエ−テルポリオ−ル、ポリエステルポリオ−ル、ポリアミドアミン、ポリカルボン酸、ポリイソシアネ−ト化合物などと一部反応させたものであってもよく、更にまた、ε−カプロラクトン、アクリルモノマ−などをグラフト重合させたものであってもよい。
【0017】
上記基体樹脂は、外部架橋型及び内部(又は自己)架橋型のいずれのタイプのものであってもよく、外部架橋型の樹脂の場合に併用される硬化剤としては、例えば(ブロック)ポリイソシアネ−ト化合物やアミノ樹脂等の従来から既知の架橋剤であることができ、特にブロックポリイソシアネ−ト化合物が好ましい。また、内部架橋型の樹脂としてはブロックポリイソシアネ−ト型を導入したものが好適である。
【0018】
上記外部架橋型で使用しうるブロックポリイソシアネ−ト化合物は、各々理論量のポリイソシアネ−ト化合物とイソシアネ−トブロック剤との付加反応生成物であることができる。このポリイソシアネ−ト化合物としては、例えば、トリレンジイソシアネ−ト、キシリレンジイソシアネ−ト、フェニレンジイソシアネ−ト、ビス(イソシアネ−トメチル)シクロヘキサン、テトラメチレンジイソシアネ−ト、ヘキサメチレンジイソシアネ−ト、メチレンジイソシアネ−ト、イソホロンジイソシアネ−トなどの芳香族、脂環族又は脂肪族のポリイソシアネ−ト化合物、及びこれらのイソシアネ−ト化合物の過剰量にエチレングリコ−ル、プロピレングリコ−ル、トリメチロ−ルプロパン、ヘキサントリオ−ル、ヒマシ油などの低分子活性水素含有化合物を反応させて得られる末端イソシアネ−ト含有化合物を挙げることができる。
【0019】
一方、前記イソシアネ−トブロック剤はポリイソシアネ−ト化合物のイソシアネ−ト基に付加してブロックするものであり、そして付加によって生成するブロックポリイソシアネ−ト化合物は常温において安定で且つ約100〜200℃に加熱した際、ブロック剤を解離して遊離のイソシアネ−ト基を再生しうるものであることが望ましい。このような要件を満たすブロック剤としては、例えば、ε−カプロラクタム、γ−ブチロラクタムなどのラクタム系化合物;メチルエチルケトオキシム、シクロヘキサノンオキシムなどのオキシム系化合物;フェノ−ル、パラ−t−ブチルフェノ−ル、クレゾ−ルなどのフェノ−ル系化合物;n−ブタノ−ル、2−エチルヘキサノ−ルなどの脂肪族アルコ−ル類;フェニルカルビノ−ル、メチルフェニルカルビノ−ルなどの芳香族アルキルアルコ−ル類;エチレングリコ−ルモノブチルエ−テルなどのエ−テルアルコ−ル系化合物等を挙げることができる。これらのうち、オキシム系およびラクタム系のブロック剤は比較的低温で解離するブロック剤であるため、電着塗料組成物の硬化性の点から特に好適である。
【0020】
ブロックイソシアネ−ト基を基体樹脂分子中に有していて自己架橋するタイプにおける基体樹脂中へのブロックイソシアネ−ト基の導入方法は従来既知の方法を用いることができ、例えば部分ブロックしたポリイソシアネ−ト化合物中の遊離のイソシアネ−ト基と基体樹脂中の活性水素含有部とを反応させることによって導入することができる。
【0021】
基体樹脂の中和・水性化は、カチオン系樹脂の場合には通常、該樹脂を脂肪族カルボン酸、特に酢酸及び/又はギ酸などの水溶性有機酸で中和して水溶化・水分散化することによって行なわれる。その際、前記脂肪族アルコキシカルボン酸ビスマス塩水溶液の一部又は全部を中和に用いることができる。中和剤として酢酸及び/又はギ酸を用いると、仕上り性、つきまわり性、低温硬化性などの優れるので好ましい。
【0022】
本発明の電着塗料組成物は、さらに錫化合物を含有することができる。該錫化合物としては、例えば、ジブチル錫オキサイド、ジオクチル錫オキサイドなどの有機錫酸化物;ジブチル錫ジラウレ−ト、ジオクチル錫ジラウレ−ト、ジブチル錫ジアセテ−ト、ジオクチル錫ベンゾエ−トオキシ、ジブチル錫ベンゾエ−トオキシ、ジオクチル錫ジベンゾエ−ト、ジブチル錫ジベンゾエ−トなどのジアルキル錫の脂肪族または芳香族カルボン酸塩等を挙げることができ、このうち低温硬化性の点からジアルキル錫芳香族カルボン酸塩などが好適である。電着塗料組成物中での錫化合物の含有量は、厳密に規定されるものではなく、電着塗料に要求される性能等に応じて広範囲にわたって変えることができるが、通常、電着塗料中の樹脂固形分100重量部あたりの錫含有量が0〜8重量部、好ましくは0.05〜5重量部の範囲内となるようにするのが好適である。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a cationic electrodeposition coating composition, and more particularly, to a lead-free cationic electrodeposition coating composition that can form an electrodeposition coating film excellent in anticorrosion properties, finish properties and the like without containing a lead compound.
[0002]
[Prior art and its problems]
Electrodeposition paints are excellent in throwing power and can form a coating film with excellent performance such as durability and anticorrosion. Therefore, conventionally, the electrodeposition paints are used in application fields where such performances are required, such as automobile bodies. Widely used for painting, painting electrical appliances, etc.
[0003]
In order to further improve the anticorrosion properties of the electrodeposition paint, rust preventives such as lead compounds and chromium compounds have been blended, but these are extremely harmful and have problems in their use in order to prevent pollution. was there. For this reason, various studies have been made on non-toxic or low-toxic rust preventives replacing these lead compounds and chromium compounds, and bismuth, zinc, and the like are known as metal species that exhibit rust preventive ability.
[0004]
Therefore, the present applicant has proposed a cationic electrodeposition coating containing a bismuth compound (for example, JP-A-5-65439). According to the electrodeposition coating, a coating film excellent in corrosion resistance and low-temperature curability can be formed. However, since the bismuth compound is insoluble in water and is not sufficiently uniformly dispersed, there is a problem that precipitates are likely to occur in the coating. It was.
[0005]
On the other hand, as a method using bismuth, JP 7-506870, JP 9-505837, JP 9-502225, and JP 8-60046 disclose a bismuth salt of an aliphatic hydroxycarboxylic acid. An electrodeposition coating containing is disclosed. In these methods, unless an aliphatic hydroxycarboxylic acid such as lactic acid is used as a neutralizing agent for the electrodeposition paint, the coating solution is not stable and precipitates are formed. Further, when the lactic acid is used in a large amount, there is a problem that the curability of the electrodeposition coating film is lowered due to its strong acidity during electrodeposition coating, and the corrosion resistance of the coating film is also adversely affected.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventors have added an aqueous solution of a specific organic acid bismuth salt to the electrodeposition paint, and can be uniformly dispersed in the electrodeposition bath, and lead compounds, etc. The present inventors have found that an electrodeposition coating film having excellent finish and anticorrosion properties can be obtained without using the present invention.
[0007]
That is, the present invention provides a cationic electrodeposition coating composition containing an aqueous bismuth aliphatic alkoxycarboxylate salt solution.
[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In the present invention, the aliphatic alkoxycarboxylic acid bismuth aqueous solution is produced by reacting an aliphatic alkoxycarboxylic acid and a bismuth compound in the presence of water.
[0009]
As the aliphatic alkoxycarboxylic acid used for the production of the bismuth salt, for example, those having a total carbon number of 16 or less, preferably 8 or less are suitable, and in particular, the aliphatic hydrocarbon group (divalent) has 6 carbon atoms. In the following, those having a methoxy group or an ethoxy group as the alkoxy group are suitable, and specific examples include methoxyacetic acid, ethoxyacetic acid, 3-methoxypropionic acid, and the like. Of these, methoxyacetic acid is particularly preferred. You may use these individually or in combination of 2 or more types.
[0010]
Examples of the bismuth compound used in the production of the above-mentioned aliphatic alkoxycarboxylic acid bismuth salt aqueous solution include bismuth oxide, bismuth hydroxide, basic bismuth carbonate and the like, and bismuth oxide is particularly preferable. The reaction ratio between the bismuth compound and the aliphatic alkoxycarboxylic acid can be variously selected. For example, in the presence of water, 3 moles of aliphatic alkoxycarboxylic acid to 1 mole of bismuth oxide, preferably 3.4 to By reacting 7 mol, an aqueous solution of aliphatic alkoxycarboxylic acid bismuth salt is obtained. If the amount of the aliphatic alkoxycarboxylic acid is less than 3 moles, it is difficult to make the bismuth salt water-soluble. Similarly, when bismuth hydroxide is used, 1 mol thereof can be obtained by reacting 1.5 to 4 mol, preferably 1.7 to 3.5 mol of an aliphatic alkoxycarboxylic acid.
[0011]
When the aqueous solution of the aliphatic alkoxycarboxylic acid bismuth salt is added to the electrodeposition coating composition, it may be added before the electrodeposition coating composition is dispersed in water or after the electrodeposition coating composition is dispersed in water. May be. When added before the water dispersion of the electrodeposition coating composition, there is no particular limitation on the solid content concentration of the bismuth salt aqueous solution, but when adding after the water dispersion of the electrodeposition coating composition, the solid content of the bismuth salt aqueous solution is not limited. The partial concentration is desirably 60% by weight or less. Such an operation is necessary for uniformly dispersing the aqueous bismuth salt solution in the electrodeposition coating composition. From the viewpoint of ease of blending the coating and storage stability, it is preferable to add the aqueous bismuth salt solution after the electrodeposition coating composition is dispersed in water.
[0012]
The amount of the bismuth aliphatic alkoxycarboxylate aqueous solution added is not strictly defined, and can be varied over a wide range according to the performance required for the electrodeposition paint. It is preferable that the bismuth content with respect to 100 parts by weight of the solid content is 0.01 to 10 parts by weight, preferably 0.05 to 5 parts by weight. When the bismuth content is less than 0.01 parts by weight, the rust prevention property of the formed coating film is insufficient, and when it exceeds 10 parts by weight, the stability of the electrodeposition paint tends to be lowered.
[0013]
The electrodeposition coating composition to which the aliphatic alkoxycarboxylic acid bismuth salt is added is a cationic type, and any resin such as epoxy, acrylic, polybutadiene, alkyd, and polyester can be used as the base resin. Among them, polyamine resins represented by, for example, amine-added epoxy resins are preferable.
[0014]
Examples of the amine-added epoxy resin include (i) an adduct of a polyepoxy compound and a primary mono- and polyamine, a secondary mono- and polyamine, or a 1,2-mixed polyamine (for example, US Pat. No. 3,984). (Ii) adducts of polyepoxide compounds with ketiminated secondary mono- and polyamines having primary amino groups (see, for example, US Pat. No. 4,017,438). (Iii) a reaction product obtained by etherification of a polyepoxide compound and a ketiminated hydroxy compound having a primary amino group (see, for example, JP-A-59-43013), and the like.
[0015]
The polyepoxide compound used in the production of the amine-added epoxy resin is a compound having two or more epoxy groups in one molecule, and is generally at least 200, preferably 400 to 4000, more preferably 800 to 2000. Those having a number average molecular weight are suitable, and those obtained by reaction of a polyphenol compound and epichlorohydrin are particularly preferred. Examples of the polyphenol compound that can be used for forming the polyepoxide compound include bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) -2,2-propane, 4,4-dihydroxybenzophenone, and bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) -1, 1-ethane, bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) -1,1-isobutane, bis (4-hydroxy-tert-butyl-phenyl) -2,2-propane, bis (2-hydroxynaphthyl) methane, tetra (4- Hydroxyphenyl) -1,1,2,2-ethane, 4,4-dihydroxydiphenylsulfone, phenol novolak, cresol novolak and the like.

On the other hand, the isocyanate blocking agent is added and blocked to the isocyanate group of the polyisocyanate compound, and the block polyisocyanate compound produced by the addition is stable at room temperature and about 100 to 200 ° C. When heated to a high temperature, it is desirable that the blocking agent can be dissociated to regenerate free isocyanate groups. Examples of the blocking agent that satisfies such requirements include lactam compounds such as ε-caprolactam and γ-butyrolactam; oxime compounds such as methyl ethyl ketoxime and cyclohexanone oxime; phenol, para-t-butylphenol, crezo Phenolic compounds such as n-butanol; Aliphatic alcohols such as n-butanol and 2-ethylhexanol; Aromatic alkyl alcohols such as phenylcarbinol and methylphenylcarbinol And ether alcohol compounds such as ethylene glycol monobutyl ether. Of these, oxime-based and lactam-based blocking agents are particularly suitable from the viewpoint of curability of the electrodeposition coating composition because they are blocking agents that dissociate at a relatively low temperature.
[0020]
As a method for introducing a block isocyanate group into a base resin in a type having a block isocyanate group in the base resin molecule and self-crosslinking, a conventionally known method can be used. It can be introduced by reacting the free isocyanate group in the polyisocyanate compound with the active hydrogen-containing part in the base resin.
[0021]
In the case of a cationic resin, the base resin is generally neutralized / aqueousized by neutralizing the resin with a water-soluble organic acid such as an aliphatic carboxylic acid, particularly acetic acid and / or formic acid, to make it water-soluble / dispersed in water. It is done by doing. At that time, a part or the whole of the aliphatic alkoxycarboxylic acid bismuth salt aqueous solution can be used for neutralization. It is preferable to use acetic acid and / or formic acid as the neutralizing agent because of excellent finish, throwing power, low temperature curability and the like.
