Description

【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、経時的に黄変することなく耐候性に優れ、かつ、平滑性、機械的強度が良好な艶消し状塗膜を得ることのできる粉体塗料用ポリエステル樹脂及び組成物、並びにこれを用いた粉体塗料に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
粉体塗料は、従来の溶剤型塗料と比較して、無公害塗料であること、塗装直後でも使用に供し得ること、多層の重ね塗りが不要であること、比較的安価であること、回収利用が可能であること等の利点が認められ、建材、家電製品、自動車部品等の部材の保護装飾用塗料として、近年、急速に需要が拡大している。
【0003】
粉体塗料には、エポキシ樹脂系、アクリル樹脂系、ポリエステル樹脂系のものが主に知られており、ポリエステル樹脂系粉体塗料は、バランスのとれた塗膜性能を有する塗料として知られている。そのなかでも、主たる末端がカルボキシル基であるポリエステル樹脂とエポキシ樹脂系硬化剤とからなるポリエステルエポキシハイブリッド粉体塗料は、経済性、耐食性に優れ、艶消し剤の添加で良好な艶消し状塗膜を得ることができることから、スチール製の棚や家電製品などに多く使用されている。
【0004】
一方、これらポリエステルエポキシハイブリッド艶消し粉体塗料は、エポキシ樹脂を多量に含んでいるため、塗膜の耐候性が良好でなく、経時的に黄変するという問題がある。塗膜の耐候性を向上させ、黄変を抑えるために、エポキシ樹脂系硬化剤の添加量を減らすなどの検討がなされているが、架橋密度の低下に伴って塗膜の機械的物性が低下したり、艶消し効果が得られないなどの問題があり、耐候性と経時的に黄変しない艶消し粉体塗料は未だ開発されていない。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明はこのような問題を解決し、耐候性に優れ、経時的に黄変しない艶消し状塗膜を得ることのできる粉体塗料用ポリエステル樹脂及び組成物、並びにこれを用いた粉体塗料を提供しようとするものである。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、上記課題を解決するため研究を重ねた結果、本発明に到達した。すなわち、本発明の要旨は次の通りである。
(1)酸成分が主として芳香族ジカルボン酸であり、アルコール成分の80モル%以上がネオペンチルグリコールであり、極限粘度が0.10〜0.30dl/g、酸価が10〜30mgKOH/g、かつ、水酸基価が7mgKOH/g以上である粉体塗料用ポリエステル樹脂と、エポキシ当量が250g/eq以下のエポキシ樹脂系硬化剤と、ポリエステル樹脂の水酸基と反応する官能基を有する硬化剤と、芳香族多価カルボン酸のイミダゾリン塩類化合物からなる艶消し剤とを、下式 (1) 及び (2) を満たす割合で含む粉体塗料用ポリエステル樹脂組成物。
0.8≦(A+B)/C≦1.2・・・・・ (1)
0.3≦A/B≦0.9・・・・・ (2)
但し、Aはポリエステル樹脂中のカルボキシル基の量(当量)、Bは艶消し剤中のカルボキシル基の量(当量)、Cはエポキシ樹脂系硬化剤中に含まれるエポキシ基の量(当量)である。
)上記()記載の粉体塗料用ポリエステル樹脂組成物を用いた粉体塗料。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明について詳細に説明する。
本発明のポリエステル樹脂のアルコール成分のうち80モル%以上はネオペンチルグリコールであることが必要がある。ネオペンチルグリコールの共重合量が80モル%未満では、十分な耐候性を得ることができない。ネオペンチルグリコールの共重合割合の上限は特に定めるものではなく、100モル%まで使用できる。
【0008】
上記したネオペンチルグリコール以外にアルコール成分としては、必要に応じて、本発明の効果を損なわない範囲で、エチレングリコール、ジエチレングリコール、1,2−プロピレングリコール、1,3−プロパンジオール、1,4−ブタンジオール、1,6−ヘキサンジオール等の脂肪族グリコールや、1,4−シクロヘキサンジメタノール、1,4−シクロヘキサンジオール等の脂環族グリコール、ビスフェノールAのエチレンオキサイド付加物、ビスフェノールSのエチレンオキサイド付加物等の芳香族グリコール、あるいは、トリメチロールプロパン、グリセリン、ペンタエリスリトール等の三価以上のアルコールを少量併用してもよい。
【0009】
酸成分としては、塗料、塗膜とした場合に良好な諸性能を発現させるために芳香族ジカルボン酸を主として用いることが必要である。芳香族ジカルボン酸としては、主に、テレフタル酸、イソフタル酸が用いられるが、必要に応じて、本発明の効果を損なわない範囲で、5−ナトリウムスルホイソフタル酸、フタル酸、ナフタレンジカルボン酸等の芳香族ジカルボン酸やそのエステル形成性誘導体、コハク酸、アジピン酸、アゼライン酸、セバシン酸、ドデカン二酸等の脂肪族ジカルボン酸、シクロヘキサンジカルボン酸等の脂環族ジカルボン酸、トリメリット酸、トリメシン酸、ピロメリット酸等の三価以上のカルボン酸、あるいは、4−ヒドロキシ安息香酸、ε−カプロラクトンなどのオキシカルボン酸を少量併用してもよい。
【0010】
本発明のポリエステル樹脂は、極限粘度が0.10〜0.30dl/gであることが必要であり、好ましくは0.15〜0.25dl/gである。ポリエステル樹脂の極限粘度が0.10dl/gに満たないと、樹脂の分子量が低いために樹脂の耐ブロッキング性や、塗膜の平滑性が低下するため好ましくない。一方、0.30dl/gを超えると、樹脂の分子量が高いために粉砕性が悪くなったり、流動性が低下するため、塗膜の平滑性が悪くなる。また、エポキシ樹脂系硬化剤の配合量が少なくなり、艶消し状の塗膜が得られなくなるため好ましくない。
【0011】
本発明のポリエステル樹脂は、酸価が10〜30mgKOH/gであることが必要であり、好ましくは15〜25mgKOH/gである。ポリエステル樹脂の酸価が10mgKOH/gに満たないと、エポキシ樹脂系硬化剤の配合量が少なくなりすぎて、艶消し剤を添加しても、艶消し状の塗膜が得られないため好ましくない。一方、酸価が30mgKOH/gを超えると、エポキシ樹脂系硬化剤の配合量が多くなりすぎて、塗膜が経時的に黄変するため好ましくない。
【0012】
本発明のポリエステル樹脂は、水酸基価が7mgKOH/g以上であることが必要であり、好ましくは10mgKOH/g以上である。ポリエステル樹脂の水酸基価が7mgKOH/gに満たないと、塗膜の架橋密度が低くなりすぎて、十分な機械的強度が得られないため好ましくない。
【0013】
上記の条件を満足するポリエステル樹脂は、前記のようなアルコール成分、カルボン酸成分(それらのエステル形成性誘導体を含む)を原料とし、常法によって、200〜260℃の温度でエステル化又はエステル交換反応を行った後、5hPa以下の減圧下、200〜300℃、好ましくは230〜290℃の温度で重縮合反応を行って高重合度のポリエステルとし、さらに酸成分及びアルコール成分を添加して解重合反応を行う方法で調製することができる。
あるいは、常法によって、エステル化又はエステル交換反応を行った後、常圧下、又は50〜100hPa程度の減圧下、200〜300℃、好ましくは220〜280℃の温度で所定の極限粘度となるまで重縮合反応を行い、次いで酸成分を添加して付加反応を行う方法によっても調製することができる。
なお、エステル化、エステル交換反応及び重縮合反応において、公知の反応触媒などを用いることができる。
【0014】
本発明の粉体塗料用樹脂組成物は、ポリエステル樹脂、エポキシ当量が250g/eq以下のエポキシ樹脂系硬化剤、ポリエステル樹脂の水酸基と反応する官能基を有する硬化剤、及び艶消し剤を、下式▲1▼及び▲2▼を満たす割合で含む必要がある。
0.8≦(A+B)/C≦1.2・・・・・▲1▼
0.3≦A/B≦0.9・・・・・▲2▼
但し、Aはポリエステル樹脂中のカルボキシル基の量(当量)、Bは艶消し剤中のカルボキシル基の量(当量)、Cはエポキシ樹脂系硬化剤中に含まれるエポキシ基の量(当量)である。
【0015】
式▲1▼における(A+B)/Cが0.8に満たないと、塗膜の架橋密度が低下して塗膜の機械的強度が低下するため好ましくない。一方、(A+B)/Cが1.2を超えると、エポキシ樹脂系硬化剤の配合量が少なくなりすぎて、艶消し状の塗膜が得られないため好ましくない。
【0016】
式▲2▼におけるA/Bが0.3に満たないと、ポリエステル樹脂の配合量が少なくなりすぎるため、艶消し状の塗膜とならないだけでなく、架橋密度が低くなり、塗膜の機械的物性が低下するため好ましくない。また、塗料に占めるエポキシ樹脂系硬化剤の重量が多くなり、塗膜が経時的に黄変するため好ましくない。一方、A/Bが0.9を超えると、艶消し剤の添加量が少なくなり、艶消し状塗膜が得られなくなるため好ましくない。
【0017】
本発明の粉体塗料用樹脂組成物に用いるエポキシ樹脂系硬化剤は、エポキシ当量が250g/eq以下であることが必要がある。エポキシ樹脂系硬化剤のエポキシ当量が250g/eqを超えると、樹脂組成物中のエポキシ樹脂重量が増加し、結果として良好な耐候性を得ることが出来ないため好ましくない。上記したようなエポキシ当量が250g/eq以下のエポキシ樹脂系硬化剤としては、ビスフェノールAとエピクロルヒドリンから誘導される液状のエピ・ビス型エポキシ樹脂が好ましく、東都化成社製の「エポトートYD−128」、シェル社製の「エピコート828」、ダウケミカル社製の「D.E.R.331」などが挙げられる。
【0018】
また、エポキシ樹脂系硬化剤には、必要に応じてホスフィン類化合物などの硬化促進剤を添加してもよい。ホスフィン類化合物としては、トリフェニルホスフィンが好ましく、イハラケミカル工業社製の「PP−360」が挙げられる。
【0019】
本発明の粉体塗料用樹脂組成物に用いるポリエステル樹脂の水酸基と反応する官能基を有する硬化剤としては、イソシアネート系硬化剤が好ましい。イソシアネート系硬化剤としては、ε−カプロラクタム等のブロック剤でブロックされたε−カプロラクタムブロックドイソホロンジイソシアネートや、自己ブロックタイプであるウレトジオン結合型イソシアネートが好ましい。このようなε−カプロラクタムブロックドイソホロンジイソシアネートとしては、ヒュルス社製の「ベスタゴン B 1530」、バイエル社製の「クレランU−1」が挙げられ、また、ウレトジオン結合型イソシアネートとしては、ヒュルス社製の「ベスタゴン BF 1540」が挙げられるが、塗膜性能の面から「ベスタゴン B 1530」が好ましい。ポリエステル樹脂の水酸基と反応する官能基をもつ硬化剤の配合量は、ポリエステル樹脂の水酸基価に対して0.8〜1.2倍当量、好ましくは1.0倍当量とするのが適当である。
【0020】
また、ポリエステル樹脂の水酸基と反応する官能基を有する硬化剤には、必要に応じて錫化合物などの硬化促進剤を添加してもよい。錫系硬化促進剤としては、ジオクチル錫マレエート系硬化触媒が好ましく、三共有機合成社製「Stann OMF」が挙げられる。
【0021】
なお、各々の硬化促進剤の配合量は、ポリエステル樹脂と硬化剤の合計100質量部に対してそれぞれ0.1〜1.0質量部とするのが塗膜の平滑性と塗膜の硬化性を両立できる点で好ましい。
【0022】
本発明の粉体塗料用樹脂組成物に用いる艶消し剤としては、芳香族多価カルボン酸のイミダゾリン塩類化合物が好ましく、ヒュルス社製の「ベスタゴン B68」が挙げられる。
【0023】
本発明の粉体塗料は、上記のようなポリエステル樹脂、硬化剤、硬化促進剤、艶消し剤からなる樹脂組成物に、必要に応じて公知のレベリング剤、その他の添加剤、例えば二酸化チタン、沈降性硫酸バリウム、カーボンブラック等の顔料などからなる混合物をニーダーまたはロールを用いて70〜150℃で溶融混練することによって調製することができる。
【0024】
本発明の粉体塗料は、これを被塗物に塗装し、通常、170〜200℃の温度で、15〜25分間焼付けることにより、耐候性に優れ、経時的に黄変せず、平滑性等が良好な塗膜を与える。
【0025】
【作用】
本発明における粉体塗料用ポリエステル樹脂は、特定の共重合成分と、耐候性の良好な硬化剤を使用することによって、塗膜の諸性能を損なうことなく、耐候性が良好で、経時的に黄変しない艶消し状塗膜が得られると思われる。

【0031】
実施例で得られた粉体塗料は、艶消し状態が良好で経時的に黄変せず、耐候性に優れた粉体塗料であり、塗膜の平滑性も、機械的強度も良好であった。
比較例1は、樹脂の極限粘度が低く、酸価が高いため、エポキシ樹脂系硬化剤の配合量が多く、塗膜の耐候性が低下するとともに、塗膜が経時的に黄変した。また、硬化速度が早いため塗膜の平滑性が悪いものであった。
比較例2は、樹脂の極限粘度が高く、酸価が低いため、塗膜の平滑性が悪かった。また、エポキシ樹脂系硬化剤の配合量が少なすぎるため、艶消し剤を添加しても、艶消し状塗膜が得られなかった。
比較例3は、水酸基価が7mgKOH/g未満であり、塗膜の架橋密度が低いため、十分な機械的強度が得られなかった。
比較例4は、ネオペンチルグリコールの共重合割合が少ないため、塗膜の耐候性が十分でないばかりか、塗膜が経時的に黄変した。
比較例5は、(A+B)/Cが0.8未満であるため、塗膜の架橋密度が低く、十分な機械的強度が得られないばかりか、エポキシ樹脂系硬化剤の配合量が多いため、塗膜の耐候性が不十分で塗膜も経時的に黄変した。
一方、比較例6は、(A+B)/Cが1.2を超えているため、エポキシ樹脂系硬化剤の配合量が少なく、艶消し剤を添加しても艶消し状塗膜とならず、また、十分な機械的強度が得られなかった。
比較例7は、A/Bが0.3未満であるため、ポリエステル樹脂の配合量が少なく、艶消し状の塗膜とならないだけでなく、架橋密度が低いため、十分な機械的強度が得られなかった。また、エポキシ樹脂系硬化剤の配合量が多いため、塗膜が経時的に黄変した。
比較例8は、A/Bが0.9を超えているため、艶消し剤の配合量が少なく、艶消し状塗膜とならなかった。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a polyester resin and composition for powder coatings, which can obtain a matte-like coating film which has excellent weather resistance without yellowing with time, and excellent smoothness and mechanical strength, and the same. The present invention relates to a powder coating using
[0002]
[Prior art]
Compared to conventional solvent-based paints, powder paints are non-polluting paints, can be used immediately after painting, do not require multi-layer coating, are relatively inexpensive, and are used for collection. In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in demand as a protective decorative paint for members such as building materials, home appliances, and automobile parts.
[0003]
As powder coatings, epoxy resin-based, acrylic resin-based, and polyester resin-based coatings are mainly known, and polyester resin-based powder coatings are known as coating materials having a balanced coating film performance. . Among them, the polyester epoxy hybrid powder coating consisting of a polyester resin whose main terminal is a carboxyl group and an epoxy resin-based curing agent is excellent in economy and corrosion resistance, and has a good matte-like coating film with the addition of a matting agent. It can be used for many purposes such as steel shelves and household appliances.
[0004]
On the other hand, since these polyester epoxy hybrid matte powder coating materials contain a large amount of epoxy resin, there is a problem that the weather resistance of the coating film is not good and yellowing occurs with time. In order to improve the weather resistance of the coating film and suppress yellowing, studies such as reducing the amount of epoxy resin curing agent added have been made, but the mechanical properties of the coating film have decreased as the crosslinking density has decreased. However, a matte powder paint that does not yellow with time and weather resistance has not yet been developed.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention solves such problems, provides a polyester resin and composition for powder coatings that can provide a matte-like coating film that has excellent weather resistance and does not yellow over time, and powder coatings using the same Is to provide.
[0006]

( 2 ) A powder coating using the polyester resin composition for a powder coating described in ( 1 ) above.
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
Of the alcohol component of the polyester resin of the present invention, 80 mol% or more needs to be neopentyl glycol. When the copolymerization amount of neopentyl glycol is less than 80 mol%, sufficient weather resistance cannot be obtained. The upper limit of the copolymerization ratio of neopentyl glycol is not particularly defined and can be used up to 100 mol%.
[0008]
As an alcohol component other than the above-mentioned neopentyl glycol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, 1,2-propylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,4- Aliphatic glycols such as butanediol and 1,6-hexanediol, alicyclic glycols such as 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol and 1,4-cyclohexanediol, ethylene oxide adducts of bisphenol A, ethylene oxide of bisphenol S An aromatic glycol such as an adduct, or a trivalent or higher valent alcohol such as trimethylolpropane, glycerin or pentaerythritol may be used in a small amount.
[0009]
As the acid component, it is necessary to mainly use an aromatic dicarboxylic acid in order to develop various performances when used as a paint or a coating film. As the aromatic dicarboxylic acid, terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid are mainly used, but as required, such as 5-sodium sulfoisophthalic acid, phthalic acid, naphthalenedicarboxylic acid and the like, as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired. Aromatic dicarboxylic acids and their ester-forming derivatives, succinic acid, adipic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, dodecanedioic acid and other aliphatic dicarboxylic acids, cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid and other alicyclic dicarboxylic acids, trimellitic acid, trimesic acid A trivalent or higher carboxylic acid such as pyromellitic acid or a small amount of oxycarboxylic acid such as 4-hydroxybenzoic acid or ε-caprolactone may be used in combination.
[0010]
The polyester resin of the present invention needs to have an intrinsic viscosity of 0.10 to 0.30 dl / g, preferably 0.15 to 0.25 dl / g. If the intrinsic viscosity of the polyester resin is less than 0.10 dl / g, the molecular weight of the resin is low, so that the blocking resistance of the resin and the smoothness of the coating film decrease, which is not preferable. On the other hand, when it exceeds 0.30 dl / g, since the molecular weight of the resin is high, the grindability is deteriorated and the fluidity is lowered, so that the smoothness of the coating film is deteriorated. Moreover, since the compounding quantity of an epoxy resin type hardening | curing agent decreases and a matte-like coating film cannot be obtained, it is unpreferable.
[0011]
The polyester resin of the present invention is required to have an acid value of 10 to 30 mgKOH / g, and preferably 15 to 25 mgKOH / g. If the acid value of the polyester resin is less than 10 mgKOH / g, the blending amount of the epoxy resin curing agent is too small, and even if a matting agent is added, a matte coating film cannot be obtained. . On the other hand, when the acid value exceeds 30 mgKOH / g, the amount of the epoxy resin curing agent is excessively increased, and the coating film is yellowed over time, which is not preferable.
[0012]
