Description
CURING AGENTS COMPATIBLE WITH WATER FOR EPOXYTIC RESINS
The present invention relates to curing agents for epoxy resins. In one aspect, the invention relates to curing agents suitable for use in flotation applications.
Epoxy coating systems cured with polyamine-based curing agents are used for the preparation of coatings for industrial maintenance and other types of protective coatings for a variety of substrates. Epoxy resins that have excellent resistance to chemicals also have good adhesion to most substrates, for example, various woods, laminated wood for walls, metals and masonry surfaces.
For a long time it has been a desire to formulate a curing agent, which is essentially free of volatile organic compounds (VOC's), which are self-emulsifying and curable over a wide range of temperatures in the absence of external accelerators if possible.
Ref. 0119655 Many of the floating epoxy resins and current curing agents are pestered with the problem of poor film properties, because the surfactants tend to migrate to the surface during curing of the resin system. Thus, it would be desirable to provide a curing agent system containing a surfactant, which does not migrate during curing, ie, a system compatible with water, which does not require surfactant salt, for example, with acids, or using plasticizers to form a stable dispersion of the curing agent in water.
Curing agents compatible with water can be soluble (homogenized), dispersible (dispersions of oil in water), or provide dispersions of water in oil.
In addition to providing a curing agent compatible with water, the curing agent would be readily compatible with a floating epoxy resin to make a coating having good mechanical properties and good strength properties. A floating curing agent that does not have good compatibility with the epoxy resin will bind poorly when applied to a substrate. The compatibility problem is more acute where the primary amine groups of the curing agent have been converted to secondary amine groups to reduce the phenomenon of fluorescence and nebulosity due to the formation of carbamates.
It is desirable to obtain curing agents that are compatible with water and provide cured products with good mechanical properties and good strength properties.
A curing agent for epoxy resins comprising a reaction product prepared by the steps comprising:
(a) reacting at least one polyamine having at least 3 active amine hydrogen atoms per molecule and at least one epoxy resin having a functionality of at least 1.5 at a mole ratio of epoxy to polyamine functionality equivalents of 0.9 : 1 to 1:10, whereby an intermediate product finished in amine is produced;
(b) reacting the finished intermediate in amine with 0.5 to 25 percent by weight, based on the amine-terminated intermediate, of a compound containing polyalkylene glycol terminated in acid having the formula: (1)
(II)
(III)
wherein R1 is an alkyl, aryl, or arylalkyl group having 1 to 15 carbon atoms, X and Y are independently a hydrogen, methyl or ethyl group with the proviso that if X is methyl or ethyl, Y is hydrogen or Y is is methyl or ethyl, X is hydrogen, and n + m + o is a real number from 100 to 200, and n + o is at least 70 percent of n + m + o, in a ratio of (I) to (II) by weight in the range of 100: 0 to 0: 100, a ratio of (I) to (III) by weight in the range of 100: 0 to 0: 100, and in a ratio of (II) to (III) by weight in the range of 100: 0 to 0: 100, until essentially the entire acid group is consumed, whereby the amine-terminated curing agent is produced.
Such an amine-terminated curing agent may also be crowned with a monoepoxy to give a cured amine curing agent of the invention.
Also provided is a curing agent for epoxy resins comprising a reaction product prepared by the steps comprising:
(a) reacting at least one polyamine having at least 3 active amine hydrogen atoms per molecule and at least one epoxy resin having a functionality of at least 1.5b in a mol ratio of epoxy to polyamine functionality equivalents of 0.9: 1 to 1:10, whereby an intermediate finished in amine is produced;
(b) reacting the amine terminated intermediate with a monoepoxy at a ratio of amine hydrogen atoms to epoxy groups of 1.5: 1 to 30: 1 to give a finished product in a crowned amine;
(c) reacting the finished intermediate product in amine capped with 0.5 to 25 weight percent, based on the intermediate finished product in crowned amine, of a compound containing polyalkylene glycol terminated in acid having the formula:
(I)
(II)
(III)
wherein R1 is an alkyl, aryl, or arylalkyl group having 1 to 15 carbon atoms, X and Y are independently a hydrogen, methyl or ethyl group with the proviso that if X is methyl or ethyl, Y is hydrogen or Y is is methyl or ethyl, X is hydrogen, and n + m + o is a real number from 100 to 200, and n + o is at least 70 percent of n + m + o, in a ratio of (I) to (II) by weight in the range of 100: 0 to 0: 100, a ratio of (I) to (III) by weight in the range of 100: 0 to 0: 100, and in a ratio of (II) to (III) by weight in the range of 100: 0 to 0: 100, until essentially the entire acid group is consumed, whereby the curing agent finished in crowned amine is produced.
The most preferred acid-terminated polyalkylene glycol-containing starting compounds are those, where m = 0.
It has been found that a certain amine adduct curing agent containing a part of polyether amidoamine is compatible in water without an acid, thereby providing a superior curing agent for floating epoxy coating formulations. In addition, the curing agent of the invention requires only small amounts of surfactant based on the solids content. The curing agents of this invention when combined with a solid or liquid epoxy aqueous dispersion give coatings with good impact resistance, high gloss and / or gloss retention.
The floating curing agent composition of the invention may be water soluble or dispersed in water
(dispersion of oil in water where the continuous phase comprises water and the solid phase comprises the curing agent composition) or the water can be dispersed in the curing agent (dispersion of water in oil where the continuous phase comprises the curing agent ). The dispersion can be a suspension, emulsion, or colloidal dispersion. The aqueous phase may contain other liquids in admixture, but is preferably free of any volatile organic compound and free of any cosolvent. An aqueous phase that is essentially free of volatile organic compounds means that 5% by weight or less, preferably less than 1% by weight of the composition of the floating curing agent is a volatile organic compound.
For illustrative purposes, one embodiment of the curing agent of the invention can be represented as an amine-terminated curing agent having the simplified formula: (IV)

wherein R1 is an alkyl, aryl, or arylalkyl group having 1 to 15 carbon atoms, R2 and R3 are independently an aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, or aromatic group having 2 to 18 carbon atoms, optionally containing unreactive oxygen or at most an average of 4 atoms of secondary and / or tertiary nitrogen per structure in the main structure, X and Y are independently a hydrogen, methyl or ethyl group with the proviso that if X is methyl or ethyl, Y is hydrogen or yes Y is methyl or ethyl, X is hydrogen, and n + m + o is a real number from 100. up to 200, and n + o is at least 70 percent, preferably 90 percent, of n + m + o, while more preferably m = 0. These curing agents can preferably be end-capped with a monoepoxy by reacting the epoxy groups of the monoepoxy with at least a portion of the remaining primary or secondary amine groups.

: ??)
where
(VII) wherein R2, R3, X, Y, n, m, and o are as described above, and R4 is an alkyl, aryl, arylalkyl group having 1 to 15 carbon atoms.
One embodiment of the above curing agents can be prepared by reacting an amine-terminated compound represented by the simplified formula:
(X)
wherein R2 and R3 are as described above, with a compound containing polyalkylene glycol terminated in acid having the formula:
(I) (II)
J I I)
wherein R1, X, Y, n, m, I are as described above at a ratio of hydrogen from amine to carboxyl group from 100: 1 to 1000: 1, in a proportion of (I) to (II) by weight in the range of 100: 0 to 0: 100, a ratio of (I) to (III) by weight in the range of 100: 0 to 0: 100, and in a proportion of
(II) to (III) in the range of 100: 0 to 0: 100, until essentially the entire acid group is consumed, whereby the amine-terminated curing agent is produced. These curing agents can then be crowned at the end to give a curing agent based on amine crowned at the end.
In another embodiment of the curing agent, the curing agents can be prepared by reacting the finished compound in amine, which can be represented by the formula (X) with at least one monoepoxy, then reacted with at least one compound that contains polyalkylene glycol terminated in acid as depicted above.
In one embodiment, the curing agent can be prepared by reacting the acid-terminated polyalkylene glycol-containing compound of structures (I) and (II) in a proportion of (I) to (II) by weight in the range of 99: 1 to 1:99, preferably in the range of 20:80 to 80:20, and at least one amine-terminated compound. In another embodiment, the curing agent can be prepared by reacting the acid-containing polyalkylene glycol-containing compound of structures
(II) and (III) in a proportion of (II) to (III) by weight in the range of 99: 1 to 1:99, preferably in the range of 20:80 to 80:20, and at least a compound finished in amine. In still another embodiment, the curing agent can be prepared by reacting the acid-terminated polyalkylene glycol-containing compound of structures (I) and (III) in a proportion of (I) to (III) by weight in the range of 99: 1 to 1:99, preferably in the range of 20:80 to 80:20, and at least one compound finished in amine. In addition, the curing agent can be prepared by reacting the acid-terminated polyalkylene glycol-containing compound of structures (I), (II) and
(III) in an amount of 4 to 98 percent by weight of (I), 1 to 95 percent by weight of (II), and 1 to 95 percent by weight of (III) with at least one compound finished in amine.
The acid-terminated polyalkylene glycol-containing compound is contacted with the amine-terminated compound under conditions effective to react the amine group and the acid group. Typically, the acid-terminated polyalkylene glycol-containing compound is present in an amount of 0.5 to 25 percent by weight, preferably 1.5 to 8.0 percent by weight, based on the amine-terminated intermediate. The ratio of hydrogen atoms of amine to carboxyl group from 100: 1 to 1000: 1 is preferred. The reaction is typically carried out at a temperature from room temperature to an elevated temperature sufficient to react the amine group and the acid group preferably in the range from 150 ° C to 200 ° C for an effective time to produce the products of reaction. The progress of the reaction can be verified and established as an objective to produce the desired product by measuring the equivalent weight of amine and the acid groups of the reaction mixture. Generally, the reaction mixture is heated until essentially all of the acid group is consumed, which is typically less than 5 mg. of KOH / g, preferably less than 2 mg. of KOH / g, of the remaining acid group.
Of course, when a multifunctional epoxy resin is used in place of a difunctional epoxy resin to produce the amine-terminated compound of formula (X), the R3 group will have more than two epoxy residue groups, which can react with the polyamines. To simplify the illustration, those curing agents using the multifunctional epoxy resin or a polyamine having more than 4 equivalents of amine hydrogen functionality are not illustrated as the structure, but are included in the invention.
The amine-terminated compound of formula (X) and the multifunctional equivalents can be produced by reacting an epoxy resin with an excess of the polyamine under conditions effective to react the amine group and the epoxide group to produce an amine-terminated product. .
The reaction is typically carried out at a temperature from room temperature to an elevated temperature sufficient to react the amine group and the epoxide group preferably within the range of 60 ° C to 120 ° C for an effective time to produce the products of reaction. The progress of the reaction can be verified and set as an objective to produce the desired product by measuring the amine equivalent weight and the epoxy equivalent weight of the reaction mixture. Generally, the reaction mixture is heated until the epoxy equivalents are consumed.
If desired, the amine-terminated curing agent product can be reacted with a mono-epoxy at a ratio of remaining active amine hydrogen atoms to epoxy groups in the range from 1.5: 1 to 30: 1, preferably from 2: 1 to 20: 1, preferably from 2: 1 to 10: 1, to give a crowned product.
The finished product in amine can be crowned with a monoepoxy by reacting the compounds under conditions effective to react the remaining active amine hydrogen atoms with the epoxy groups, either before or after emulsification. The reaction is typically carried out at a temperature within the range of 60 ° C to 120 ° C for an effective time to produce the reaction products. Generally, the reaction mixture is heated until the epoxy equivalents are consumed.
Alternatively, the amine-terminated intermediate (amine-terminated compound) is first at least partially crowned, then reacted with the acid-terminated polyalkylene glycol-containing compound in a similar manner.
The preferred polyamine can be represented by the formula:
H N- -R "- H2 (XI)
wherein R is an aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, or aromatic group having 2 to 18 carbon atoms, optionally containing unreactive oxygen or at most an average of 4 secondary and / or tertiary nitrogen atoms per molecule in the main structure. Examples of suitable diamines include, for example, m-xylylenediamine,
1,3-bisaminomethylcyclohexane, 2-methyl-l, 5-pentanediamine, 1-ethyl-l, 3-propanediamine, ethylenediamine, diethylenetriamine
(DETA), triethylenetetramine (TETA), polyoxypropylenediamines,
2, 2 (4), 4-trimethyl-l, 6-hexanediamine, isophorone diamine,
2,4 (6) -toluenediamine, 1,6-hexanediamine, 1,2-diaptincyclohexane and para-aminodicyclohexyl methane (PACM).
Preferably, the curing agent is prepared by reacting a polyalkylene glycol alkyl ether terminated in acid having the formula R1 or - (- CH2 H2 0- -CH2- -CH
wherein R1 is an alkyl, aryl, or arylalkyl group having 1 to 15 carbon atoms, or is a real position number from 100 to 200, and at least one diamine in an amine to acid equivalent ratio of 6: 1 up to 25: 1.
Another, more preferred embodiment is formed by those, wherein the polyalkylene glycol alkyl ether terminated in acid is prepared by reacting a compound containing polyalkylene glycol terminated in acid having the formula
wherein R1 is an alkyl or arylalkyl group having 1 to 15 carbon atoms, or is a positive real number from 100 to 200, and at least one intermediate product amine terminated at a ratio of amine to acid equivalent of 6: 1 to 25: 1.
The polyalkylene glycol containing compound terminated in acid can be produced by oxidation of a polyethylene glycol monoalkylether or a monoalkylether of a block copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide or butylene oxide ("polyalkylene glycol") or by at least partial oxidation of a polyethylene glycol, or a block copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide or polybutylene oxide ("polyalkylene glycol").
The polyalkylene glycols generally contain a distribution of compounds with a variable number of oxyethylene units, number one and / or oxypropylene or oxybutylene units, m. Generally, the quoted number of units is the total number closest to the statistical average, and the maximum point of the distribution. The positive real number as used here refers to a number which is positive and includes integers and fractions of integers.
Compounds containing polyalkylene glycol terminated in acid can be produced by oxidation of the polyalkylene glycols including, but not limited to, the processes described in U.S. Patent Numbers. 5,250,727 and 5,166,423. Generally, the oxygen-containing gas is added to the polyalkylene glycol in the presence of a free radical (eg, 2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy) and an inorganic acid (eg, nitric acid) to produce the carboxylic acid to at least one hydroxyl group per molecule, or if the polyalkylene glycol terminated in diacid it is desired that substantially all alcohol groups are oxidized to carboxylic acid groups. The acid-terminated polyalkylene glycol-containing compound can also be made by synthesis of illiamson ether, where a polyalkylene glycol is reacted with chloroacetic acid and / or esters in the presence of a base.
The epoxy resins used in producing the curing agent can be any reactive epoxy resin having an equivalence (functionality) of 1,2-epoxy, on the average, at least 1.5, preferably at least 1.6, preferably up to 8 groups of epoxide, preferably up to 5 epoxide groups per molecule. The epoxy resin may be saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched, aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic, and may have substituents which do not materially interfere with the reaction with the carboxylic acid. Such substituents may include bromine or fluorine. These may be monomeric or polymeric, liquid or solid, but are preferably liquid or a low melting point solid at room temperature. Suitable epoxy resins include glycidyl ethers prepared by reacting epichlorohydrin with a compound containing at least 1.5 aromatic hydroxyl groups, carried out under alkaline reaction conditions. Examples of other epoxy resins suitable for use in the invention include diglycidyl ethers of dihydric compounds, epoxy novolacs and cycloaliphatic epoxides. Suitable epoxy resins are described in U.S. Patent Number. 5,602,193. Generally epoxy resins contain a distribution of compounds with a variable number of repeating units.
Preferably the epoxy resin is a diglycidyl ether of a dihydric phenol, diglycidyl ether of a hydrogenated dihydric phenol, an aliphatic glycidyl ether, epoxy novolac or a cycloaliphatic epoxy.
The diglycidyl ethers of dihydric phenols can be produced, for example, by reacting an epihalohydrin with a dihydric phenol in the presence of an alkali. Examples of suitable dihydric phenols include: 2,2-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) propane (bisphenol-A);
2, 2-bis (4-hydroxy-3-tert-butylphenyl) propane; 1,1-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) ethane; 1,1-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) isobutane; bis (2-hydroxy-1-naphthyl) methane; 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene and 1,1-bis (4-hydroxy-3-alkylphenyl) ethane. Suitable dihydric phenols can also be obtained from the reaction of phenol with aldehydes, such as formaldehyde (bisphenol-F). The diglycidyl ethers of dihydric phenols include breakthrough products of the above diglycidyl ethers of dihydric phenols with dihydric phenols, such as bisphenol-A, such as those described in U.S. Patent Numbers. 3,477,990 and 4,734,468.
The diglycidyl ethers of hydrogenated dihydric phenols can be produced, for example, by hydrogenation of dihydric phenols followed by glycidation with an epihalohydrin in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst and subsequent formation of the glycidyl ether by reaction with sodium hydroxide. Examples of suitable dihydric phenols are listed above.
The aliphatic glycidyl ethers can be produced, for example, by reacting an epihalohydrin with an aliphatic diol in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst, followed by conversion of the halohydrin intermediate to the glycidyl ether by reaction with sodium hydroxide. The aliphatic diol can be linear or branched or substituted with oxygen in the main structure. Examples of suitable aliphatic glycidyl ethers include, for example, diglycidyl ethers of 1,4-butanediol, neopentyl glycol, cyclohexanedimethanol, hexanediol, polypropylene glycol, and similar diols and glycols; and triglycidyl ethers of trimethylol ethane and trimethylol propane.
Epoxy novolacs can be produced by condensation of formaldehyde and a phenol, followed by glycidization by reaction of an epihalohydrin in the presence of an alkali. The phenol group of the phenoxymethylene units of the epoxy novolac can be unsubstituted, partially substituted or substituted up to three substitutions with an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms. The phenol can be, for example, phenol, cresol, nonylphenol and t-butylphenol. Epoxy novolacs generally contain a distribution of compounds with a variable number of glycinated phenoxymethylene units, r, where r is generally 2 to 8. Generally, the quoted number of units is the number closest to the statistical average, and the maximum point of the distribution.
Cycloaliphatic epoxides can be produced by converting a cycloalkene-containing compound with more than one olefinic bond to peracetic acid to an epoxide. Examples of cycloaliphatic epoxides include, for example, 3,4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl- (3, 4-epoxy) cyclohexane carboxylate, [2- (3,4-epoxy) cyclohexyl-5, 5-spiro (3,4-epoxy) ) -cyclohexane-m-dioxane] of diepoxy dicycloaliphatic diether, bis (3,4-epoxy-cyclohexylmethyl) adipate, bis (3,4-epoxycyclohexyl) adipate and [4- (1,2-epoxyethyl) -1, 2 -epoxycyclohexane] of vinylcyclohexene dioxide.

Commercial examples of preferred epoxy resins include, for example, EPON Resins DPL-862, 828, 826, 825, 1001, 1002, EPONEX Resin 1510, HELOXI Modifiers 32, 44, 48, 56, 67, 68, 71, 84, 107, 505, EPON Resin DPS155, and EPON Rsein HPT 1050, all available from Shell Chemical Company, Dow Chemical Epoxy Resin DEN 431 and Union Carbide Epoxy Resins ERL-4221, -4289, -4299, -4234 and -4206 (EPON, EPONEX and HELOXI are trademarks).
The monoepoxide coping agent can be an aliphatic, alicyclic, or aromatic compound linked to the epoxy functional group. Reacting the primary amine hydrogen reduces the possibility for the formation of carbamates from the atmospheric moisture which reacts with the primary amine hydrogens, which appears as a pink color in the coating and which leads to chain cleavage. In addition to reducing the erubescence effect by reacting certain or all of the primary amine groups on the substituted aryl amidopolyamine, reacting the amidopolyamine with an epoxy functional group has the advantage of leaving some active free amine hydrogen for reaction with the epoxy groups. By reacting the primary amine in the amidopolyamine compound with an epoxy functionality, however, it leaves the secondary amine hydrogen more active for reaction with an epoxy resin. In this way, the double advantage of reducing the pink color can be achieved, while sufficient reactivity is retained to cure the system at ambient temperatures in the absence of external catalysts. The reaction with a monoepoxy crowning agent also leads to the formation of a hydroxyl group, which would also be useful for reacting with the epoxy compound.
Preferred examples of monoepoxide corking agents which are suitable for use in the invention include:
I
wherein R10 and R12 are the same or different and are a branched or linear alkyl group, an alkalicyclic, polyoxyalkyl, or alkenyl having 2-100 carbon atoms, optionally branched; and Ru is hydrogen, halogen or a branched or unbranched alkyl having 1-18 carbon atoms. There may be more than one type of Ru group attached to the aromatic ring.
These categories would include butylene epoxy unsaturated hydrocarbons, cyclohexane, styrene oxide and the like; epoxyethers of monovalent alcohols, such as methyl, ethyl, butyl, 2-ethylhexyl, dodecyl and others; epoxides of the alkylene oxide adducts of alcohols having at least 8 carbon atoms by the consecutive addition of alkylene oxide to the corresponding alkanol (ROH), such as those labeled under the name NEODOL (NEODOL is a trademark); epoxyethers of monovalent phenols, such as phenol, cresol, and other substituted phenols in the ortho, meta, or para positions with alkyl, aralkyl, alkylaryl, or branched or unbranched C 1 -C 2 alkoxy groups, such as nonylphenol; glycidyl esters of monocarboxylic acids, such as the glycidyl ester of caprylic acid, the glycidyl ester of capric acid, the glycidyl ester of lauric acid, the glycidyl ester of stearic acid, the glycidyl ester of arachidic acid and the glycidyl ester of alpha, alpha-dialkyl monocarboxylic acids described in US Patent Number 3, 178, 454; epoxyesters of unsaturated alcohols or unsaturated carboxylic acids, such as the glycidyl ester of neodecanoic acid, methyl oleate converted to epoxide, n-butyl oleate converted to epoxide, methyl palmitoleate converted to epoxide, converted ethyl linoleate in epoxy and the like; phenylglycidyl ether; allylglycidyl ethers, and glycidaldehyde acetals.
Specific examples of monoepoxide co-terminating agents useful for the practice of the invention include alkylglycidyl ethers having 1-18 linear carbon atoms in the alkyl chain, such as butylglycidyl ether or a mixture of C 8 -C 14 alkyls, cresylglycidyl, phenylglycidyl ether, nonylphenylglycidyl ether, p-tert-butylphenylglycidyl ether, 2-ethylhexylglycidyl ether, and the glycidyl ester of neodecanoic acid.
The curing agent of the invention can be useful for curing a solid or liquid epoxy resin, pure, in organic solvents or in water. Any epoxy resin mentioned above for producing the curing agent of the invention can be cured by the curing agent of the invention. The curing agent can be useful for coating applications to the environment, as well as baking coating applications. The curing temperature may vary depending on the application, typically in the range of 5 ° C to 200 ° C.
In addition, the curing agent of the invention can be dispersed or solubilized in an aqueous solution. Such a solution, emulsion or dispersion contains water and the curing agent of the invention. Such a composition can be provided by mixing the water in the curing agent of the invention with or without the presence of a surfactant. Any conventional surfactant useful for the emulsification or dispersion of curing agents in aqueous solutions can be used. Examples of such a surfactant are surfactants based on polyalkylene oxide blocks, such as CARBOMAX 8000, PLURONIC 88, NOVEPOX TAN 117, and JEFFAMINE ED2001 (CARBOMAX, JEFFAMINE, NOVEPOX TAN and PLURONIC are trademarks). However, the curing agents of the invention are self-emulsifying and do not need any additional surfactant (s) to give the solution, emulsion or dispersion of aqueous curing agent.
These curing agents of the invention can be used to effectively cure an aqueous epoxy resin system. Preferred examples of the aqueous epoxy resins are epoxy resins based on bisphenol-A having from 350 to 10,000 molecular weight dispersed nonionically in water with or without glycol ether co-solvents. Commercial examples of the aqueous epoxy resins include, for example, EPIREZ Resin 3520, 3522, 3540 and 5522 available from Shell Chemical Company (EPIREZ is a trademark). The curing agents of the invention are compatible with aqueous dispersions without the use of acid salts. These curable systems contain, water, one or more epoxy resins and one or more curing agents of the invention. These aqueous curable epoxy resin systems can be cured at room temperature or elevated temperatures or further catalyzed with a commercially available tertiary amine accelerator, such as 2, 4,6-tris (dimethylaminomethylphenol) or phenols to cure at lower temperatures. Examples of such materials are EPICURE Curing Agent 3253 from Shell Chemical Company (EPICURE is a trademark) or DMP-30 from Rohm and Haas. These low temperatures typically range from 5 ° C to 20 ° C. For aqueous epoxy resin systems, the typical curing temperature with or without an accelerator ranges from 5 ° C to 45 ° C. Typically these curing agents are used to formulate thermoset coatings that have good corrosion protection of the coated substrate.
These aqueous epoxy resin systems can serve as components of paints and coatings for application to substrates such as, for example, metal structures or cementitious structures. To prepare such paints and coatings, these resins are mixed with primary extenders and anticorrosive pigments, and optionally, additives, such as surfactants, antifoam agents, rheology modifiers and usual wear and slip reagents. The selection and quantity of these pigments and additives depends on the intended application of the paint and is generally recognized by those skilled in the art.
The curing agents of the present invention can also be used as adhesive components and fiber sizing.

Step 3: the curing agent from step 2 (400 grams) and 44.4 grams of toluene were added to a glass reactor and stirred until the mixture was homogeneous at 87-96 ° C. Then water (111.2 grams) was added at 80 ° C, while stirring at a constant rate of 200 RPM. At the end of the addition, the mixture was inverted to an oil-in-water emulsion. After stirring for one hour at 75 ° C, a second portion (26.2 grams) of toluene was added, followed by 187.6 grams of water. The resulting emulsion, approximately 50% solids, had a viscosity of 7240 cp and an average particle size number of 0.431 microns.

Resin 1001 dissolved, 40.0 grams of amidoamine surfactant
(prepared from DYKTEK A amine and a partially carboxylated polyethylene glycol 4600) and 26.7 grams of deionized water were added to the batch. Then the batch was allowed to cool to 93 ° C for 20 minutes. Then, 81.6 grams of deionized water were added for 1 minute, during which time the temperature was allowed to drop to 87 ° C. At this point, the batch must be inverted to form a resin in water emulsion. The batch was kept for 12 hours at 65-34 ° C. The batch was then diluted to a viscosity of 1.840 cP to 58.8% NV with deionized water for 1 hour and 40 minutes. The particle size of this dispersion was Dn of 0.741 average and Dw of 1.271 microns average.
Paint Formulation: White TiO enamel of curing agent of Example 6 and experimental epoxy dispersion A
This paint was first prepared by making a titanium dioxide pigment paste in water using a commercial dispersant, DISPERBYK 190 by BYK Chemie, 0.3% based on the weight of the pigment. This pigment paste was added to the epoxy dispersion prepared above in an amount to obtain a pigment to resin filler of 0.8 to 1.0 together with an appropriate amount of the propylene glycol phenyl ether and allowed to deaerate overnight (8% by weight of the epoxy dispersion). On the next day, the curing agent of Example 6 and the pigmented epoxy dispersion were combined in a ratio of hydrogen to epoxy one by one and after about 30 minutes, the resulting paint was applied by spraying to steel laminated test panels in cold treated with iron phosphate. After one month of curing at 77 degrees F and 50% relative humidity, the following properties of the paint were measured.
From the above results, where a dispersion of experimental curing agent has been pigmented and mixed with a dispersion of experimental epoxy resin, and subsequently compared to a commercially available floating formulation of which the preparation of the paint was exactly similar, the Following conclusions can be drawn: the new experimental system is at least comparable in operation and even exceeds the commercial system in flexibility, chemical resistance and brightness value. In addition to this excellent performance, the advantage for the experimental system is its very low volatile organic compound content: a value of approximately 100 grams / Liter or 1.0 pounds / gallon compared to 240 grams / Liter or 2 pounds / gallon for systems commercial.
Coating agents based on aliphatics are usually hydrophobic in character, which tend to improve the coalescence properties of the epoxy curing agent mixture at low temperatures, and tend to lower the glass transition temperature of the film or coating. The lower glass transition temperature improves the impact resistance of the cured film. However, the aromatic based monoglycidyl crowning agents have the advantage of stiffening the curing film, chemically resistant, and resistant to stresses at high temperatures. Any of these types of capping agents can be used, and mixtures thereof are also advantageous to achieve an overall balance of mechanical strength and chemical resistance.
It is noted that in relation to this date, the best method known to the applicant to carry out the aforementioned invention, is that which is clear from the present description of the invention.
Having described the invention as above, the content of the following is claimed as property.
