Basically, the isocyanate and the polyamine are reacted in a polyamine:isocyanate equivalents ratio of 1:1 for polyamines having one primary or secondary amine and isocyanates having one NCO group, 1:2 for polyamines having a total of two primary and/or secondary amines and isocyanates having one NCO group, 2:1 for polyamines having one primary or secondary amine and isocyanates having two NCO groups; optionally in a solvent such as toluene at elevated temperatures of 50-100° C. under an inert atmosphere at ambient pressure. In addition, the urea compounds are available commercially from Sigma Aldrich, Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., CVC Specialty Chemicals, and AlChem.
- In an aspect of the invention suitable polyalkylenepolyamines for reacting with the isocyanate include 3,3′-iminobis(N,N-dimethylpropylamine), also known as N′-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N,N-dimethylpropane-1,3-diamine and available as Polycat® 15 catalyst from Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. and poly-N-methyl-azetidine, the preparation and structures of which are taught in U.S. 2008-0194776-A1 the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein. This aspect is meant to be combined with all other disclosed aspects and embodiments of the invention.
- In an aspect of the invention the phenolic resin is a novolac resin, a compound formed by the condensation of a phenol with an aldehyde, especially formaldehyde. Novolac resins are the reaction product of a mono or dialdehyde, most usually formaldehyde, with a mono or polyphenolic material. Examples of monophenolic materials which may be utilized include phenol, the cresols, p-tert-butylphenol, nonylphenol, octylphenol, other alkyl and phenyl substituted phenols. Polyphenolic materials include the various diphenols including bisphenol-A and bisphenol-F. Aldehydes which are utilized for the novolac include formaldehyde, glyoxal, and the higher aldehydes up to about C4. The novolacs typically are complex mixtures with different degrees of hydroxyl functionality.
- The novolac resins can be prepared by the reaction of phenol or substituted phenol with an aldehyde, especially formaldehyde, in the presence of an acid or base. Novolac resins also are commercially available under the trademark Alnovol™ from Cytec Specialty Chemicals.
- The phenolic resins are reacted with the urea compounds at elevated temperatures of 120 to 180° C. A sufficient amount of the phenol resin is reacted to block substantially all of the tertiary amine functionalities in the urea composition. As a general rule, about 25 wt % to 60 wt % phenolic resin, based on urea compounds, is added to and reacted with the urea composition. If not enough phenol resin is added, the resulting product is sticky and clumps. If too much is added, the activation temperature to cure the epoxy resin becomes too high.
- The phenolic resin-urea compound reaction products can be used as epoxy curing agents in one-component and two-component epoxy compositions such as adhesives, decorative and protective coatings including powder coatings, filament winding, printed circuit board and other epoxy applications. Typically, 0.5 to 10 parts by weight (pbw) phenolic resin-urea compound reaction products are used in the epoxy composition per 100 pbw epoxy resin, preferably 2 to 6 pbw of phenolic resin-urea compound reaction products.
- The phenolic resin-urea compound reaction products can also be used as accelerators for curing agents, such as dicyandiamide and acid anhydrides like acetic anhydride, in one-component and two-component epoxy compositions such as adhesives, decorative and protective coatings including powder coatings, filament winding, printed circuit board and like epoxy applications. Typically, 0.5 to 10 parts by weight (pbw) curing agent are used in the epoxy composition per 100 pbw epoxy resin, preferably 2 to 6 pbw of curing agent, and 0.5 to 10 parts by weight (pbw) phenolic resin-urea compound reaction products are used as an accelerator in the epoxy composition per 100 pbw epoxy resin, preferably 2 to 6 pbw of phenolic resin-urea compound reaction products.
- The phenolic resin-urea compound reaction products as a curing agent or as an accelerator with the a curing agent is combined with an epoxy resin which is a polyepoxy compound containing more than one 1,2-epoxy groups per molecule. Such epoxides are well known in the epoxy art and are described in Y. Tanaka, “Synthesis and Characteristics of Epoxides”, in C. A. May, ed., Epoxy Resins Chemistry and Technology (Marcel Dekker, 1988). Examples include those epoxides disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,599,855 (Col 5/6 to 6/20), which is incorporated by reference. The preferred polyepoxy compounds are the diglycidyl ethers of bisphenol-A, the advanced diglycidyl ethers of bisphenol-A, the diglycidyl ethers of bisphenol-F, and the epoxy novolac resins. Both liquid epoxy resins and solid epoxy resins are suitably used in the one component epoxy compositions. Powder coating compositions would comprise a solid epoxy resin, a urea compound and dicyandiamide.
- Epoxy compositions comprising phenolic resin-urea compound reaction products and epoxy resins can be formulated with a wide variety of ingredients well known to those skilled in the art of coating formulation, including solvents, fillers, pigments, pigment dispersing agents, rheology modifiers, thixotropes, flow and leveling aids, and defoamers.
- While one component epoxy compositions comprising 1 to 90 wt % organic solvents, or 100 wt % solids epoxy compositions, or water-based, i.e., aqueous, epoxy compositions containing 20 to 80 wt % solids can be used, it is preferred the epoxy composition be 100 wt % solids.
- The epoxy compositions of this invention can be applied as coatings by any number of techniques including spray, brush, roller, paint mitt, and the like. Numerous substrates are suitable for application of coatings of this invention with proper surface preparation, as is well understood in the art. Such substrates include but are not limited to many types of metal, particularly steel and aluminum, as well as concrete.
- One component epoxy compositions of this invention can be cured at elevated temperatures ranging from about 80° C. to about 240° C., with cure temperatures of 120° C. to 160° C. preferred. Two component epoxy compositions of this invention can be cured at temperatures ranging from about 80° C. to about 240° C., with cure temperatures of 80° C. to 160° C. preferred.

- A mixture of 220.3 g of N′-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N,N-dimethyl-propane-1,3-diamine and 50 g of toluene were charged to a one liter four-neck glass vessel equipped with an air driven mechanical stirrer, thermocouple, heating jacket with a water circulating bath and a nitrogen purge. The vessel was heated to 60-70° C. under nitrogen. Once the temperature stabilized, 104.9 g of toluene diisocyanate in 50 g of toluene was metered in over 45-60 minutes. The mixture was held at 70° C. for one hour after the addition was completed. The temperature was lowered to 40° C. and the reactor crude liquid product was placed on a rotary evaporator to remove all of the toluene. Temperature and vacuum was applied slowly to prevent frothing. The final conditions for the distillation were a 15 minute hold at 10-20 mmHg and 80° C. The stripped product was then placed in a three neck flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer, thermocouple, electric heating mantle and a nitrogen purge. The vessel was stabilized at 140-160° C. and 174.8 g of phenolic resin was added over a 30-60 min period. The mixture was kept at 160° C. with stilling for an additional hour. The product was poured from the reactor at that and allowed to cool to ambient before grinding the product.
- 149.6 g of N′-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N,N-dimethyl-propane-1,3-diamine were charged to a one liter four-neck glass vessel equipped with an air driven mechanical stirrer, thermocouple, heating jacket with a water circulating bath and a nitrogen purge. The vessel was heated to 60-70° C. under nitrogen. Once the temperature stabilized, 95.2 g of phenylisocyanate was metered in over 1.5 hr while maintaining the temperature between 70 and 80° C. The mixture was held at that temperature for one hour after the addition was complete. The vessel was stabilized at 130-160° C. and 240 g of phenolic resin were added over a 30-60 min period. The mixture was kept at 160° C. with stirring for an additional hour. The product was poured from the reactor at that temperature and allowed to cool to ambient before grinding the product.
- 252 g of N′-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N,N-dimethyl-propane-1,3-diamine were charged to a one liter four-neck glass vessel equipped with an air driven mechanical stirrer, thermocouple, heating jacket with a water circulating bath and a nitrogen purge. The vessel was heated to 60-80° C. under nitrogen. Once the temperature stabilized, 200 g of polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate were metered in over two hours while maintaining the temperature between 70 and 80° C. The mixture was held at 80° C. for one hour after the addition was complete. The vessel was stabilized at 130-160° C. and 88 g of phenolic resin were added over a 30-60 min period. The mixture was kept at 160° C. with stirring for an additional hour. The product was poured from the reactor at that temperature and allowed to cool to ambient before grinding the product.
- The commercial dimethylamine-isocyanate adducts of Examples D-G and the phenolic resin-urea reaction products of Examples A-C were screened by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) for their cure profile as epoxy curing agents. The epoxy formulation comprised polyglycidyl ether of Bisphenol A resin (Epon 828), 5 phr, 3 phr and 1 phr (wt parts per 100 wt parts resin) of Examples A-G as the accelerator, 6 phr of dicyandiamide as the curing agent and 1% fumed silica. The resulting mixtures were blended thoroughly for 2 minutes using a high sheer cowls blade mixer. Immediately after preparation the mixtures were examined by DSC to determine the onset temperature and the glass transition temperature (Tg). The DSC analysis was performed using a 10° C./min ramp heat rate on about a 10 to 15 mg sample of material. The resulting data is presented in Table 1 and shows at higher loadings the reaction products of phenolic resin and the N′-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N,N-dimethyl-propane-1,3-diamine based ureas of Examples A-C provided lower activation temperature and higher Tgs than the dimethylamine based products.

Latency, or pot-life, of Examples A-G were studied at 80° C. using an epoxy formulation that comprised polyglycidyl ether of Bisphenol A resin (Epon 828), 5 phr of the accelerator, 6 phr of dicyandiamide as the curing agent and 1% fumed silica. The resulting mixtures were blended thoroughly for 2 minutes using a high sheer cowls blade mixer. The viscosities change over time was measured by Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA). The samples were analyzed using a TA Instruments RDAIII controlled strain Rheometer. 25 mm disposable aluminum parallel plates were used for the test. The temperature was controlled at 50° C. using the oven thermocouple and the plate gap was zeroed. Enough sample was added between the plates to get a gap of approximately 1 mm and the oven was closed. The experiment was started using the following temperature program: Initial temperature of 50° C. was ramped to 80° C. at 10° C./min. The temperature was held at 80° C. for at least 1000 min. Dynamic measurements were taken every 60 sec. with a initial strain rate of 50% which was automatically adjusted to a maximum of 300% to maintain a minimum torque value of 1 g-cm. A maximum change of 50% of the previously measured strain rate was made at each measurement point. The resulting data is depicted inFIG. 1 and shows that the phenol resin blocked ureas provided better stability at 80° C.
