Description
COATING COMPOS ITIONS CONTAINING A HYDROLYZED EPOXY RESIN
The present invention relates to a coating composition curable at temperatures above 50°C that contain hydrolyzed epoxy resins.
Walker in U.S. 3,632,836 and U.S. 3,787,508 discloses the use of hydrolyzed epoxy resins in epoxy resin coatings up to an amount of 20 percent by weight to improve the reactivity of the epoxy resin and to improve pigment dispersability in the epoxy resin coating composition.
Irwin in U.S. 3,891,525 and U.S. 3,991,028 discloses the use of hydrolyzed epoxy resins in water dispersed electrodepositable coating compositions employing an interpolymer of a hydroxyalkyl ester of an unsaturated acid and an amine-aldehyde resin.
Irwin et al in U.S. 4,145,234 disclose coating formulations of (1) an oil in water emulsion of a solution of a hydrolyzed diglycidyl ether of a bisphenol, a nonionic surfactant and a curing agent; or (2) a solution of a hydrolyzed diglycidyl ether of a bisphenol and a curing agent in alkoxyethanol or a mixture of alkoxyethanol with alcohols, ketones, carbitols or
their acetates and, optionally, liquid aromatic hydrocarbon solvents. Such solution coating compositions are stated to have solid (non-volatile) content of from 15 to about 35 weight percent.
It has now been discovered that one or more of the properties of elevated temperature coatings prepared from glycidyl ethers of aromatic dihydric compounds or aliphatic dihydric compounds can be improved by hydrolyzing at least a portion of the epoxy groups.
The present invention concerns coating compositions curable at temperatures above 50°C, preferably above 100°C, which comprises
(1) a hydrolyzed epoxy resin; (2) a curing amount of a curing agent selected from
(a) triazine-aldehyde curing agents,
(b) urea-aldehyde curing agents,
(c) compounds having an average of more than one NCO or NCS group per molecule or (d) mixtures thereof; and (3) a sufficient quantity, but less than 55 percent by weight of said coating composition, of a suitable solvent system so as to provide a suitable application viscosity; characterized in that component (1) is at least one of a polyglycidyl ether of a polyhydric aromatic compound or a polyglycidyl ether of a polyhydric aliphatic compound, each such glycidyl ether having an average epoxide equivalent weight, before hydrolysis, of from 170 to 2000, preferably from 175 to 1000, and from 5 to 100, preferably from 5 to 50, percent of the total epoxy groups have been hydrolyzed.
Any epoxy resin which is a glycidyl ether of a polyhydric aromatic or aliphatic compound when at least partially hydrolyzed can be employed in the present invention. Suitable polyglycidyl ethers of polyhydric phenols, before hydrolysis, which can be employed herein include, for example, polyglycidyl ethers of resorcinol, catechol, hydroquinone, bisphenols, triphenols, and novolac resins.
Suitable polyglycidyl ethers of aliphatic polyhydric compounds, before hydrolysis, include, for example, dipropylene glycol, tripropylene glycol, glycerine, neopentyl glycol, and dibromoneopentyl glycol. Also suitable are the polyglycidyl ethers of alkylene oxide adducts of such aliphatic polyhydric compounds as glycerine, propylene glycol, trimethylol propane, pentaerythritol, neopentyl glycol, and dibromoneopentyl glycol These and other suitable such epoxy resins, before hydrolysis are disclosed, for example, in Handbook of Epoxy Resins by Lee and Neville, McGraw-Hill, 1967.
Any process can be employed to hydrolyze the epoxy resins employed in the present invention such as those methods disclosed by Walker in U.S. 3,632,836; U.S. 3,405,093; U.S. 3,787,508; and by Davis and Cavitt in U.S. 4,340,713.
A particularly suitable process for hydrolyzing the epoxy resins employed in the present invention comprises reacting the epoxy resin with water in the absence of substantial quantities of an organic solvent in the presence of catalytic quantities of a combination catalyst comprising (1) at least one dicarboxylic acid
and (2) a phosphonium compound wherein components (1) and ( 2 ) are present in a molar ratio of from 1:1 to 20:1, preferably from 3:1 to 10:1, most preferably from 5:1 to 7:1, respectively.
Suitable dicarboxylic acids which can be employed herein include those having from 2 to 10, preferably from 2 to 6, most preferably from 2 to 4, carbon atoms, such as, for example, oxalic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid, pimelic acid, suberic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, and mixtures thereof. Also suitable are the hydrates of the aforementioned acids.
Suitable phosphonium catalysts which can be employed with the oxalic acid for hydrolyzing epoxy resins include, for example, those disclosed by Perry in U.S. 3,948,855 or by Dante in U.S. 3,477,990.

The total quantity of catalyst varies depending upon the conditions employed, but is usually from 0.001 to 0.01, preferably from 0.003 to 0.008 mole of total catalyst per epoxide equivalent contained in the resin or resins to be hydrolyzed. Higher quantities can be employed, but no beneficial results are obtained.
The hydrolysis process is conducted at temperatures of from 50°C to 200°C, preferably from 110°C to 150°C for a period of time to reach the desired degree of hydrolysis.
The amount of water employed is dependent upon the desired degree of hydrolysis, but usually from 0 to 100, preferably from 0 to 30, most preferably from 0 to 5 percent in excess of the theoretical amount of water required for hydrolysis is employed.

CURING AGENT B is a methylated melamine-formaldehyde curing agent commercially available from American Cyanamid Company under the trade name of CYMEL 325.
The following components were employed to evaluate coating performance on cold rolled steel panels using the resin examples.
COATING FORMULATION A was prepared by adding enough solvent to the test resin to obtain a Gardner dip viscosity between 29.4 to 37.3 seconds at room temperature. The size of the Gardner dip viscosity cup was a Zahn Type 2. The solvent was 38 parts methyl ethyl ketone, 31 parts toluene, 18 parts xylene and 13 parts 2-ethoxyethyl acetate. To 100 parts of resin was added 15 parts of curing agent A and then added 10 parts of a 10 percent nonvolatiles (N.V. ) isopropanol solution of p-toluene sulfonic acid. A coating was made of this formulation and cured at 280°F (149°C) for 30 minutes (1800 s) to obtain MEK double rub results. See gravelometer test for its cure conditions.
COATING FORMULATION B was composed of 100 parts of a resin solution as described in Coating Formulation A, 15 parts curing agent A, 10 parts of a 10 percent N.V. isopropanol solution of p-toluene sulfonic acid, 9.2 parts iron oxide, 9.2 parts of titanium dioxide,
9.2 parts ASP-400 clay filler and 90 parts barium sulfate. These components were mixed in a metal container with steel balls (__1/8 in. in diameter) for 0.5 hour (1800 s ) on a paint shaker. The steel balls were removed and the paint was ready for use.
Coatings made from the epoxy resins were evaluated by the following tests.
MEK DOUBLE RUBS
To the ball end of a 2 lb. (0.9 kg) ball pein hammer was attached a pad of cheese cloth composed of 8 plys. The pad was saturated with methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and then rubbed across a coated substrate. A constant back and forth motion is used allowing only the weight of the hammer to apply force on the coating. A back and forth movement counts as one double rub. This motion is continued until the coating is mared and/or begins to be removed by the solvent effect.
Gravelometer Test
This procedure is from the Society of Automotive Engineers, Inc. 1968 Technical Report No. J 400. Coating formulation B was used for this test. The paints were aged for 16 hours at 140°F (60°C) before using.
