Abstract
Zero VOC thermosetting gel coat and laminating resin compositions, and composites and articles, are produced using a multifunctional Michael acceptor, a multifunctional Michael donor and a base catalyst. The obtained low viscosity resin is useful for producing zero VOC gel coats and laminates having excellent curability at ambient temperatures.
Description
The application of gel coats are widely used in mimerons applications as the external surface layer of composite molded articles. Gel coats are typically found on composite articles that are exposed to the environment requiring moisture résistance, résistance to cracking and similar propertîes, or articles that require a strong, flexible, abrasion and impact résistant surface and/or a smooth glossy finish. Examples of such articles include boat liulls, bath tub enclosures, pools, spas, and body panels on cars and trucks, among others.
Such gel coated articles are typically formed by spraying a gel coat composition from a high pressure spray gun onto the inside surface of an opcn mold, applying the materials and a laminating resin for the composite article onto the gel coat, curing the gel coat and then removing the cured gel coated article from the mold. Gel coated articles can also be fabricated by applying the composite materials into a multi-parl mold. injecting or applying the gel coat composition, closing the mold, curing the gel coat and then removing the cured gel coated article from the mold.
Gel coats for composite articles arc typically formulated from a thermosetting base resin system such as unsaturated polyester, acrylate and urethane type resins with incorporated fillers, pigments and other additives. The gel coat should exhibit low viscosity at high shear to allow for ease of application to the mold, but also resist saggîng or running after it is applied. Another important properly of gel coats is surface tackiness and cure time. A gel coat desirably produces a gel time of 10 to 20 minutes. Many low or zéro VOC gel coats remain tacky after several hours of curing.
Typically, the gel coat resin is mixed with réactivé, polymerizable monomers such as styrene or methyl méthacrylate (MMA), which are also used to reduce resin system viscosity in order to apply the gel coat by spraying. Convcntional gel coat compositions contain 35 to 45 wt% of reactive monomers and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The presence of high amounts of styrene and other VOCs results the émission of styrene vapors and other hazardous air

Hul >;NG pollutants (HAP), which are closely regulated by government régulations. Consequenlly, the composites industry is very interested in providing gel coats that émit lowto zéro VOCs. However, there are difficultîes in attaining gel coats having low to zéro VOCs and acceptable application and performance properties. Several approaches hâve been described for addressing these requirements. One way to reduce VOCs is to reduce the molecular weight of the resin, which leads to a lower viscosity and lower styrene need. However, in application, a gel coat made with a lower molecular weight resin tends to remain tacky for long periods of time. The use of higher molecular weight resins results in higher viscosities that hamper spray applications ofthe gel coat composition, which generally require a viscosity in the range of 50 to 1200 eps under high shear. In order to achieve target viscosity, monomers with high boiling point are used to replace monomers which contribute to VOC. These high boiling point monomers typically hâve higher viscosity and lower reactivity with a resin solid. As a resuit, a higher amount of high’boiling point monomers is required to replace the standard monomers in gel coat formulations and the resulting product is very slow to cure.
There romains a significant need for a resin material that provides good rheology properties for in-mold coating applications, fast curing and a better cured gel coat product having low to zéro VOCs and a high degrcc of crosslinking.

Applications ln use, the gel coat composition is combined with a base catalyst and applied as an in-mold coating, typically by manual application or using a gel coat spray technique, onto the surface of a mold that is in the shape and form of the desired article (e.g., bathtub, car or aircraft part, bout hull, swimming pool, etc.). The gel coat is allowed to partially cure such that it is tacky to tacky-free.
The amount of base catalyst included in the gel coat composition is typically 0.2 to 2.5 % by weight, based on the total weight of the composition, for optimal processibility, gel time and cure time, the viscosity of the gel coat (with catalyst) can range from 8,000 to 25,000 cps, and preferably 10,000 to 20,000 cps measured by Brooktleld viscometer at 4 rpm.

The base catalysts are nitrogen containing compounds, which can be represented by the general formula R*RyRzN, where R*, Ry, and Rz each individually may represent hydrogen, or a C1-C20 alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl or arylalkyl group, that each optionally may contain one or more
CD hetero-atoms (e.g. oxygen, phosphor, nitrogen or sulfur atoms) and/or substituents, The group may be linear or branched; they also may contain one or more unsaturations or substituents.

Non-limiting examples of reinforcing materials include glass fiber, polyethylene liber, carbon fiber, métal fiber, ceramic fiber, or other material used in the composite plastics industry. In embodiments, dry fibers (e.g., glass fibers, glass fiber malt, etc.) are laid onto the partially cured gel coat within the open mold. The reinforcing material is then wet out by applyîng a laminating resin in a curable (i.e., pre-cured) state that has been combined with a base catalyst. ln embodiments, the laminating resin is composed of 10 to 90 wt% of the acctoacetate-functionalized polyol, 90 lo 10 wt% of multifunctional acrylate monomers or oligoincrs. and 0.2 to 2.5 wt% base catalyst, based on the total weight ofthe mixture.
The laminating resin is allowed to cure to form a hardened fiber-reinforced resin composite in the desired shape within lhe mold. The gel coat becomes an integra! part ofthe finished laminate article by forming a covalent interfacial bond with the laminating resin that is used. The gel coat provides a primary bond at the interface with the composite article, unlike the application ofa resin coating onto the formed article.
Curing of the laminating resin can be conducted at ambient température for about 4 to 40 hours.
The gel coated, composite article can then bc removed from the mold for use. lu some embodiments, the laminate can undergo a post-cure, for example, by heating the mold to an elevated température (i.e., to 65°C) to further increase the degree of cure.
The gel coats of the invention provide a durable and high weather- and wear-resistant coating with good hydrolytîc stability, and/or an aesthetic finished surface to the article being produced to improve surface appearance. The gel coats also provide a résilient, light-stable surface covering and, in embodiments, are sufficiently pigmented to yield a desired color. The base catalyzed Michael addition of acetoacetylated resins to acrylate acceptors produces crosslinked networks with low to no volatile organic compounds (VOCs). ln embodiments, the cured gel coat and/or laminating resin is at least 50% crosslinked, and preferably 70 to 100% crosslinked. Such crosslinking can be assessed, for example, by measuring the residual reaction exotherm by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
