Description

Method for the formation of paint films and the paint films
[Technical Field]
[0001]
The present invention concerns a method with which paint films are formed on the surface of aluminum or aluminum alloy parts and the paint films obtained with this method of forming paint films.
[0002]
Aluminum and aluminum alloys have been used for some parts of outboard motors and the like and in recent years they have been used for automobile parts with a view to reducing the weight of automobiles.
The aluminum and aluminum alloy parts for outboard motors form part of the engine and drive system which is the power source for the boat and a high degree of corrosion resistance is required to protect the engine from heat, water, seawater, light and the like. Furthermore, the aluminum and aluminum alloy parts used in automobiles also require a high level of corrosion resistance in view of the effects of snow-melting agents and the like.
[0003]
Methods in which an epoxy resin paint or the like which includes a chromium-based anti-rust pigment is coated as an anti-rust primer have been widely used as methods of raising the corrosion resistance of aluminum and aluminum alloys, but the chromium-based anti-rust pigments contain chromium which presents the risk of having an adverse effect on the environment and so methods of applying anti-rust primers which contain chromium-free anti-rust pigments have been developed. However, there is a problem with methods of applying anti-rust primers which contain chromium-free anti-rust pigments in that the corrosion resistance is poor when compared with that of the methods in which anti-rust primers which contain chromium-based pigments are applied.
[0004]
On the other hand, methods in which the surface of an aluminum or aluminum alloy part is subjected to an anodic oxidation treatment are also widely used as a method of raising the corrosion resistance of aluminum and aluminum alloy parts, but the corrosion resistance with just an anodic oxidation treatment is unsatisfactory and a hole-sealing treatment is carried out after the anodic oxidation treatment (see, for example, Patent Citation 1) .
However, although the corrosion resistance is improved when a hole-sealing treatment is carried out after an anodic oxidation treatment there is a problem in that the adhesion between the anodic oxide film which has been formed on the surface of the aluminum or aluminum alloy part by the anodic oxidation treatment and the paint film which is formed over the top is reduced. It is thought that this problem is caused by the hole- sealing treatment which is carried out after the anodic oxidation treatment and by the dissolving out of film and sealing treatment components in the de-greasing treatments and chemical forming treatments which are carried out subsequently, depending on the particular case .
[0005]
On the other hand, corrosion preventing paint compositions for ships comprising optically transparent inorganic fillers, selected from among talc, mica, silica, potassium feldspar and barium sulfate; epoxy resin; and epoxy resin hardening agent, such as polyamide or polyamine, are known as corrosion preventing paints for ships which have corrosion resistance (for example, see Patent Citation 2). However, when these paint compositions are coated on the anodic oxide films of aluminum and aluminum alloy parts the corrosion resistance of the paint films which are obtained is inadequate.
[0006]
Furthermore, coating a thermosetting type aqueous paint composition which includes barium sulfate or talc as a true pigment on metal materials which have been treated with a phosphate chemical forming solution of pH from 2.5 to 3.5 which contains phosphate ions, chlorate ions, nitrate ions, bromate ions and from 200 to 800 ppm of zirconium hexafluoride ions is known as a method for improving the corrosion resistance of metal materials (for example, see Patent Citation 3). However, when these thermosetting type aqueous paint compositions are coated on the anodic oxide films of aluminum or aluminum alloy parts the corrosion resistance of the paint films obtained is inadequate.
[0007]
Furthermore, thermosetting type paints which are characterized in that they contain barium sulfate and calcium carbonate and in that they contain from 30 to 45 wt% alkyd resin, from 5 to 20 wt% melamine resin and from 0.2 to 1.5 parts by weight of anti-rust pigment and epoxy resin are known as thermosetting type paints which can be used for coating metal parts such as acid washed steel sheet and SPCC materials and the like to form coated materials with which thick paint films which provide both anti-rust performance and an excellent appearance can be formed, and which can be coated as an undercoat, mid-coat and top coat with a single application (for example, see Patent Citation 4). However, when these thermosetting type paints are coated on the anodic oxide films of aluminum and aluminum alloy parts the corrosion resistance of the paint films obtained is inadequate.
[0008]
Furthermore, paints for metals such as zinc-plated steel sheet and the like which are characterized in that they include (A) a synthetic resin component comprising one type, or two or more types, selected from among (meth) acrylic acid ester resin-based emulsion, styrene/acrylic acid ester copolymer emulsion, vinyl acetate resin-based emulsion, vinyl acetate/ (meth) acrylic acid ester copolymer emulsion, urethane resin-based emulsion, ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer emulsion, polyester resin and aqueous epoxy resin, (B) a filler component comprising one type, or two or more types, selected from among titanium oxide, talc, kaolin, bentonite, mica, silica, heavy calcium carbonate, clay, precipitated barium sulfate, barium carbonate, glass beads and resin beads, and a mixed component of (C-l) from 10 to 95 mass% of specified acetylene glycol and/or epoxidized specified acetylene glycol and (C-2) from 5 to 90 mass% polyoxy- (ethylene-propylene) block polymer are known (see, for example, Patent Citation 5) . However, when these paint compositions for metals are coated on the anodic oxide films of aluminum or aluminum alloy parts the corrosion resistance of the paint films obtained is inadequate.
[0009]
Furthermore, a thermosetting type aqueous composition for metal coating purposes which is characterized in that it includes, as essential film forming components, (a) a modified epoxy resin which has been obtained by reacting an epoxy resin with at least one type of carboxylic acid selected from among the group comprising saturated carboxylic acids or derivatives thereof; ethylenic unsaturated carboxylic acids or derivative thereof; carboxylic acids which have aromatic rings or derivatives thereof; and oxy- carboxylic acids or derivatives thereof and a compound which has at least two hydroxyl groups which are bound to a phosphorus atom in one molecule, (b) a water- soluble or water-dispersible resin, excluding the abovementioned modified epoxy resins (a) , and (c) at least one type of curing agent selected from among the group comprising aminoplast resins; phenoplast resins and blocked isocyanate resins are known as thermosetting type aqueous compositions for metal coating purposes (for example, see Patent Citation 6) . However, these thermosetting type aqueous compositions for metal coating purposes are such that under extreme immersion testing conditions the corrosion resistance of the paint films which are obtained is inadequate.

[Brief Explanation of the Drawing]
[0016]
[Figure 1]

[0018]
In this invention the aluminum or aluminum alloy parts are subjected to an anodic oxidation treatment.
This anodic oxidation treatment is preferably carried out in a bath of dilute sulfuric acid, oxalic acid, phosphoric acid, chromic acid or the like, more desirably in a dilute sulfuric acid bath or an oxalic acid bath, and most desirably in a dilute sulfuric acid bath. Just one of these bath types can be used individually, or a mixture of two or more types can be used, but the use of one type alone is preferred.
The electrolyte concentration in each bath is preferably from 1 to 20 vol%, and most desirably from 2 to 15 vol%. The sulfuric acid concentration in a dilute sulfuric acid bath in particular is preferably from 6 to 14 vol%, and most desirably from 8 to 12 vol%.

This electrolysis apparatus has the direct current power source 61 which carries out a direct current electrolysis treatment as a structural element, but the apparatus is not limited to a direct current power source and alternating current treatment in which an alternating current power source is used for the power source, and both alternating and direct current electrolysis treatment in which direct current and alternating current are combined can also be carried out .
[0020]
In this invention the aluminum or aluminum alloy part is subjected to an anodic oxidation treatment and an anodic oxide film is formed on the surface of the aluminum or aluminum alloy part.
The anodic oxide film may be subjected to a hole- sealing treatment, and a degreasing treatment and/or chemical forming treatment may be carried out after this treatment.
The hole-sealing treatment can be carried out by immersion in a hole-sealing treatment agent bath which has a metal hydrate and metal oxide sol as the main component, by spray coating with a hole-sealing treatment agent which has a metal hydrate and metal oxide sol as the main component, with an electrolytic treatment with a hole-sealing agent which has a metal hydrate and metal oxide sol as the main component or with a combination of these methods.
[0021]
Examples of the metal of the metal hydrate and metal oxide sol include aluminum, silicon, zinc, tin, chromium, molybdenum, nickel, cobalt, copper, titanium, zirconium, yttrium, antimony, indium, calcium, germanium, strontium, vanadium, tantalum, neodymium, magnesium, barium and the like.
Furthermore, the hole-sealing treatment can also be carried out with the usual steam methods such as the pure water water boiling method or the like.
Degreasing may be carried out with a known method such as immersion in the various types of degreasing agent for example. The known degreasing agents such as the alkali degreasing agents and the like can be used for the degreasing agent.
A chemical forming treatment can be carried out using the known methods such as immersion in the various types of chemical forming treatment agents. The known chemical forming treatment agents such as the chromium- based chemical forming agents and the like can be used for the chemical forming treatment agent.
[0022]
The anodic oxide film is a film which includes aluminum oxide as the main component and it may be a film which includes the hydrate or hydrated oxide of a metal as a result of a hole-sealing treatment or a degreasing and/or chemical forming treatment.
No particular limitation is imposed upon the thickness of the anodic oxide film but generally it is of thickness preferably from 3 to 30 μη, more desirably of from 4 to 20 μιη, and most desirably of from 5 to 18 μπ\.
[0023]
In this invention an anti-rust primer is coated over the anodic oxide film which has been formed on the surface of the aluminum or aluminum alloy part and an anti-rust primer paint film is formed.
In this invention the anti-rust primer is an anti-rust primer which includes a base resin comprising hydroxyl group containing epoxy resin, a hardening agent selected from among melamine resin and polyisocyanate, and barium sulfate, and said barium sulfate content is from 20 to 70 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass in total of the solid fractions of the base resin and the hardening agent.
[0024]
No particular limitation is imposed upon the hydroxyl group containing epoxy resin which is used for the base resin, and examples include the modified epoxy resins where epoxy resins obtained by forming bisphenol A, bisphenol F or a novolak or the like into glycidyl ethers have been modified with alkyd, polyester, polyether, acrylic or urethane or the like. One of these hydroxyl group containing epoxy resins can be used alone, or two or more types can also be used conj ointly .
No particular limitation is imposed upon the hydroxyl group value of the hydroxyl group containing epoxy resin, but generally the value is preferably from 30 to 250 mgKOH/g, more desirably from 60 to 210 mgKOH/g, and most desirably from 90 to 190 mgKOH/g. If the hydroxyl group value of the hydroxyl group containing epoxy resin is less than 30 mgKOH/g then there are cases where corrosion resistance and adhesion are reduced. If it is greater than 250 mgKOH/g then there are cases where the water resistance is reduced.
[0025]
No particular limitation is imposed upon the weight average molecular weight of the hydroxyl group containing epoxy resin, but generally it is preferably from 6,000 to 30,000, more desirably from 7,000 to 25,000, and most desirably from 9,000 to 20,000. If the weight average molecular weight of the hydroxyl group containing epoxy resin is less than 6,000 then there are cases where the corrosion resistance and adhesion are reduced. If it exceeds 30, 000 then there are cases where the viscosity rises and it is difficult to form a paint. Moreover, in this invention the weight average molecular weight is the value of the average molecular weight measured using gel permeation chromatography (GPC) calculated on the basis of the average molecular weight of polystyrene.
Other base resins apart from the hydroxyl group containing epoxy resin may be included in the base resin within ranges where they do not overturn the aims of the invention. Examples of these other base resins include unmodified epoxy resins, alkyd resins, polyester resins, acrylic resins, urethane resins and the like. The proportion of other base resin included is preferably not more than 40 mass%, more desirably not more than 30 mass%, and most desirably not more than 20 mass% with respect to the whole of the base resin .
[0026]
The melamine resins which are used as one type of hardening agent can be of various types provided that they function as hardening agents for the aforementioned epoxy resin. For example, methyl etherified melamine resins, butyl etherified melamine resins or mixed alkyl etherified melamine resins can be used for the aforementioned melamine resin. One of these melamine resins can be used alone, or two or more types can also be used conjointly.
[0027]
The polyisocyanates which are used as one type of hardening agent can be of various types provided that they function as hardening agents for the aforementioned epoxy resin. For example, aliphatic polyisocyanates such as trimethylene diisocyanate, tetramethylene diisocyanate, pentamethylene diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, 1 , 2-propylene diisocyanate, 2,3-butylene diisocyanate, 1,3-butylene diisocyanate and the like or polymers of mixtures of these, alicyclic polyisocyanates such as 1,3- cyclohexane diisocyanate, 1, 4-cyclohexane diisocyanate, 1 , 2-cyclohexane diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate and the like or polymers of mixtures of these, and aromatic polyisocyanates such as 2,4-toluene diisocyanate, 2,6-toluene diisocyanate, 4,4- diphenylmethane diisocyanate, m-xylylene diisocyanate, p-xylylene diisocyanate and the like or polymers of mixtures of these can be cited as examples of the aforementioned polyisocyanates.
[0028]
The proportions of base resin and hardening agent included may be the usual proportions, and when the hardening agent is a melamine resin the ratio by mass of the solid fractions of base resin and melamine resin is preferably from 50/50 to 90/10, more desirably from 55/45 to 85/15, and most desirably from 60/40 to 80/20. If the ratio by mass as solid fraction of melamine resin is more than 50/50 then there are cases where adhesion and paint stability are reduced. If the ratio is less than 90/10 then there are cases where corrosion resistance and adhesion are reduced. When the hardening agent is a polyisocyanate the mol ratio of base resin functional groups and polyisocyanate isocyanate groups is preferably from 3 : 1 to 1 : 3 and most desirably from 1.5 : 1 to 1 : 2. If the mol ratio of polyisocyanate isocyanate groups is less than 3 : 1 there are case where corrosion resistance is reduced, and if it is more than 1 : 3 there are cases where adhesion is reduced.
[0029]
No particular limitation is imposed upon the barium sulfate which is used in the anti-rust primer and commercial products such as Barium Sulfate SS-50, Precipitated Barium Sulfate #100, Bariase B-30, Barifine BF-1, Barifine BF-10 and the like produced by the Sakai Kagaku Kogyo Co. can be cited as examples. The proportion of barium sulfate included in the anti- rust primer is from 20 to 70 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass in total of the solid fractions of the abovementioned base resin and the abovementioned hardening agent, but a proportion of from 25 to 60 parts by mass is preferred, and a proportion of from 30 to 45 massl is most desirable. If the proportion of barium sulfate included is less than 20 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass in total of the solid fractions of the abovementioned base resin and the abovementioned hardening agent then the adhesion with aluminum or aluminum alloy parts is reduced and satisfactory corrosion resistance is not obtained. Furthermore, if the proportion of barium sulfate included exceeds 70 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass in total of the solid fractions of the abovementioned base resin and the abovementioned hardening agent then there are cases where the barium sulfate settles out and the stability of the anti-rust primer paint is reduced.
[0030]
Furthermore, the anti-rust primer can include, as well as the abovementioned paint film forming resin and barium sulfate, anti-rust pigments, true pigments, coloring pigments, settling inhibitors, paint surface controlling agents, other additives used in paints, organic solvents and the like, as required, where the amounts included are within ranges such that there is no interference in practical terms.

[0034]
The anti-rust primer is adjusted to the desired viscosity by heating or by adding an organic solvent or reactive diluent, as required, and then electrostatic coating or non-electrostatic coating is carried out using a painting machine of a type generally used, such as an air sprayer, airless sprayer or rotary atomization type painting machine or the like. From among these sprayer-painting is preferred.
Generally baking of the anti-rust primer paint film is desirable. The baking temperature should in general be selected appropriately from within the range from 80 to 160 °C.

No particular limitation is imposed upon the thickness of the anti-rust primer paint film which is formed on applying the anti-rust primer but in general a dry film thickness of from 10 to 80 μπι, more desirably of from 15 to 60 m, and most desirably of from 20 to 40 μπι is preferred.
[0035]
In this invention the application of a top-coat paint over the anti-rust primer paint film to form a top-coat paint film is desirable.
No particular limitation is imposed upon the top-coat paint in this invention and the usual top-coat paints comprising paint film forming resin and hardening agent can be cited, and it may be a solid color paint or a metallic paint. A further top-coat paint may be coated over a paint film which has been formed by coating the aforementioned solid color paint or metallic paint, as required. The top-coat paint which is coated over a solid color paint film or metallic paint film may be a clear paint or a coloring paint in which a coloring agent such as a pigment or the like has been compounded.
[0036]
Various resin-based paints can be used as solid color paints, and examples include acrylic/melamine based paints, alkyd/melamine based paints, polyester/melamine based paints, polyurethane based paints and the like. Furthermore, as with the solid color paints, acrylic/melamine based paints, alkyd/melamine based paints, polyester/melamine based paints, polyurethane based paints and the like can be cited as examples of the paints which can be used as metallic paints. Acrylic/melamine based paints, polyester/melamine based paints, polyurethane based paints, acid/epoxy based paints and the like can be cited as paints which can be used a clear paints and coloring paints.
[0037]
The top-coat paint is adjusted to the desired viscosity by heating or by adding an organic solvent or reactive diluent, as required, and then electrostatic coating or non-electrostatic coating is carried out using a painting machine of a type generally used such as an air sprayer, airless sprayer or rotary atomization type painting machine or the like. From among these sprayer-painting is preferred.
In those cases where a clear paint or a coloring paint is coated over a solid color paint film or metallic paint film the clear paint or coloring paint may be coated after baking and hardening the solid color paint film or metallic paint film, or the clear paint or coloring paint may be applied wet-on-wet before baking the solid color paint film or coloring paint film and the two may be baked and hardened at the same time.
[0038]
