Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a coating composition
  • a coating composition comprising an alkyd- comprising resin and a drier comprising a dinuclear ligand-manganese complex comprising manganese and a 1 ,4,7-trisubstituted-1 ,4,7-triazacyclononane ligand.
  • Alkyd resins are widely used in coating compositions such as paint.
  • An alkyd is a fatty acid functionalized polyester resin that comprises unsaturated fatty acids, such as for example oleic acid, linoleic acid, or linolenic acid.
  • the fatty acid moieties of the alkyd resin react with oxygen from the atmosphere to form hydroperoxides which subsequently decompose to form free radicals. Reaction of these free radicals with the unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds of the fatty acid moieties causes covalent bonds to be formed between the alkyd polymer chains, thus forming cross-links between polymer chains.
  • a liquid coating composition that comprises alkyd resin hardens to form a solid cured coating. This process is also referred to as auto-oxidation or drying.
  • the time for such a composition to dry depends on the concentration and type of unsaturated oil or fatty acids used to prepare the resin. Autoxidation and crosslinking of the unsaturated oil/fatty acid component can proceed unaided, but the time for drying is generally found to be unacceptably long for many practical purposes.
  • the reactions are significantly accelerated by the presence of a metal-based drying catalyst, commonly referred to as a "drier". Whereas an alkyd coating may takes months to dry in the absence of a drying catalyst, in the presence of such a catalyst, drying can be accomplished within a few hours.
  • the metal within the drying catalyst catalyzes autoxidation by forming a complex with both atmospheric oxygen and the double bonds of the unsaturated fatty acid groups within the composition.
  • Examples of known drier salts include polyvalent salts containing cobalt, calcium, copper, zinc, iron, zirconium, manganese, barium, zinc, strontium, lithium and potassium as the cation; and halides, nitrates, sulphates, carboxylates, such as acetates, ethylhexanoates, octanoates and naphthenates, or acetoacetonates as the anion.
  • transition metals are commonly employed in such driers, as transition metals are capable of switching from a lower valence state to a higher valence state in a redox reaction with fatty acid peroxides present in the alkyd composition.
  • Driers based on non-cobalt metals are known from inter alia WO201 1/098584, WO201 1/098583, WO201 1/098587, or Oyman et al., Polymer 45 (2004), p. 7431 -7436.
  • Manganese-based driers have, however, the drawbacks that they may not promote sufficient drying in a coating composition comprising an alkyd resin, especially in relation to tack free time, and that they can yield coatings which suffer from severe dark yellowing.
  • a coating composition comprising an alkyd resin and a dinuclear ligand-manganese complex as drier that is obtained by adding to the coating composition a manganese salt of the general formula Mn 2+ [X] n , and a ligand that is a 1 ,4,7- trisubstituted-1 ,4,7-triazacyclononane.
  • the ligand and manganese salt are added to the coating composition in such amounts that the molar ratio of ligand to manganese is at least 1 .25.
  • the coating composition of WO 2013/092441 i.e. with excess ligand, shows less yellowing than coating compositions to which ligand and manganese salt were added in a ligand to manganese ratio of 1 .0 or lower. It is also shown in WO 2013/092441 that replacing part of the 1 ,4,7- trisubstituted-1 ,4,7-triazacyclononane by other amine ligands results in coating compositions that perform less well in terms of yellowing and drying.
  • driers comprising a dinuclear complex of manganese and a 1 ,4, 7-trisubstituted-1 ,4,7-triazacyclononane ligand already result in improved coating compositions in terms of yellowing and drying, in particular in case excess ligand is used, there is still room for improvement, in particular with regard to dark yellowing and drying properties.

Description

COATING COMPOSITION COMPRISING AN ALKYD-COMPRISING RESIN AND A DRIER
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a coating composition comprising an alkyd- comprising resin and a drier comprising a dinuclear ligand-manganese complex comprising manganese and a 1 ,4,7-trisubstituted-1 ,4,7-triazacyclononane ligand. Background of the Invention
Alkyd resins are widely used in coating compositions such as paint. An alkyd is a fatty acid functionalized polyester resin that comprises unsaturated fatty acids, such as for example oleic acid, linoleic acid, or linolenic acid. The fatty acid moieties of the alkyd resin react with oxygen from the atmosphere to form hydroperoxides which subsequently decompose to form free radicals. Reaction of these free radicals with the unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds of the fatty acid moieties causes covalent bonds to be formed between the alkyd polymer chains, thus forming cross-links between polymer chains. In this way, a liquid coating composition that comprises alkyd resin hardens to form a solid cured coating. This process is also referred to as auto-oxidation or drying.
The time for such a composition to dry depends on the concentration and type of unsaturated oil or fatty acids used to prepare the resin. Autoxidation and crosslinking of the unsaturated oil/fatty acid component can proceed unaided, but the time for drying is generally found to be unacceptably long for many practical purposes. The reactions are significantly accelerated by the presence of a metal-based drying catalyst, commonly referred to as a "drier". Whereas an alkyd coating may takes months to dry in the absence of a drying catalyst, in the presence of such a catalyst, drying can be accomplished within a few hours. The metal within the drying catalyst catalyzes autoxidation by forming a complex with both atmospheric oxygen and the double bonds of the unsaturated fatty acid groups within the composition. Examples of known drier salts include polyvalent salts containing cobalt, calcium, copper, zinc, iron, zirconium, manganese, barium, zinc, strontium, lithium and potassium as the cation; and halides, nitrates, sulphates, carboxylates, such as acetates, ethylhexanoates, octanoates and naphthenates, or acetoacetonates as the anion. The catalytic activity of the metal during decomposition of the (hydro)peroxide relies on the repeated transition of the metal ion from the lower to the higher oxidation state and back again, leading to reduction and oxidation of the hydroperoxides to catalyze and accelerate oxidation of the unsaturated oil component of the composition. For this reason, transition metals are commonly employed in such driers, as transition metals are capable of switching from a lower valence state to a higher valence state in a redox reaction with fatty acid peroxides present in the alkyd composition.
To date, driers based on cobalt have been most widely used because of their good performance at ambient temperature. However, because of suspected carcinogenicity and/or toxicity of cobalt salts, it is now desired to find alternative drier compounds that show at least comparable drying performance to that of cobalt driers and which can replace cobalt based driers completely in air-drying coatings.
Driers based on non-cobalt metals, in particular driers comprising dinuclear complexes of manganese and a ligand, are known from inter alia WO201 1/098584, WO201 1/098583, WO201 1/098587, or Oyman et al., Polymer 45 (2004), p. 7431 -7436.
Manganese-based driers have, however, the drawbacks that they may not promote sufficient drying in a coating composition comprising an alkyd resin, especially in relation to tack free time, and that they can yield coatings which suffer from severe dark yellowing. In WO 2013/092441 is disclosed a coating composition comprising an alkyd resin and a dinuclear ligand-manganese complex as drier that is obtained by adding to the coating composition a manganese salt of the general formula Mn2+[X]n, and a ligand that is a 1 ,4,7- trisubstituted-1 ,4,7-triazacyclononane. The ligand and manganese salt are added to the coating composition in such amounts that the molar ratio of ligand to manganese is at least 1 .25. The coating composition of WO 2013/092441 , i.e. with excess ligand, shows less yellowing than coating compositions to which ligand and manganese salt were added in a ligand to manganese ratio of 1 .0 or lower. It is also shown in WO 2013/092441 that replacing part of the 1 ,4,7- trisubstituted-1 ,4,7-triazacyclononane by other amine ligands results in coating compositions that perform less well in terms of yellowing and drying.
Although the use of driers comprising a dinuclear complex of manganese and a 1 ,4, 7-trisubstituted-1 ,4,7-triazacyclononane ligand already result in improved coating compositions in terms of yellowing and drying, in particular in case excess ligand is used, there is still room for improvement, in particular with regard to dark yellowing and drying properties. Therefore, there is a need in the art for coating compositions comprising an alkyd-comprising resin and a manganese drier that has improved properties.
Summary of the Invention
It has now been found that if, in a coating composition comprising an alkyd- comprising resin and a drier comprising a dinuclear complex of manganese and a 1 ,4, 7-trisubstituted-1 ,4,7-triazacyclononane ligand, the alkyd-comprising resin is an alkyd-stabilized non-aqueous dispersion of particles of addition polymer in a non-aqueous liquid phase comprising alkyd, the coating composition exhibits surprisingly less dark yellowing compared to compositions wherein other types of alkyd resins are used. Accordingly, the present invention relates to a coating composition comprising an alkyd-comprising resin and a drier comprising a dinuclear ligand-manganese complex comprising manganese and a 1 ,4, 7-trisubstituted-1 ,4,7- triazacyclononane ligand, wherein the alkyd-comprising resin is an alkyd- stabilized non-aqueous dispersion of particles of addition polymer in a non- aqueous liquid phase comprising alkyd.
It has, moreover, been found that the coating composition shows good drying properties. Detailed Description of the Invention
The coating composition according to the invention comprises an alkyd- comprising resin and a drier comprising a dinuclear complex of manganese and a 1 ,4,7-trisubstituted-1 ,4,7-triazacyclononane ligand. Preferably, the ligand is a 1 ,4,7— trisubstituted-1 ,4,7-triazacyclononane ligand having the general structure:
Figure imgf000005_0001
R.—N N— R
wherein Ri is a C1-C20 alkyl, optionally substituted with heteroatoms, or a C6-C20 aryl, optionally substituted with heteroatoms. More preferably the ligand is a 1 ,4, 7-trialkyl-1 ,4,7-triazacyclononane wherein Ri is a C1-C20 alkyl, optionally substituted with heteroatoms. Even more preferably, the ligand is 1 ,4,7- trimethyl-1 ,4,7-triazacyclononane.
Dinuclear complex of manganese and a 1 ,4,7-substituted-1 ,4,7- triazacyclononane ligand are known and comprise two manganese nuclei, each bound to a 1 ,4, 7-substituted-1 ,4,7-triazacyclononane ligand. The manganese nuclei each have, independently, a I, II, III, or IV valence state and are bound to each other by means of three bridges. Typically the bridges are, independently, an oxo or a carboxylate bridge.

More preferably, the drier comprises dinuclear ligand-manganese complex and additional ligand in such amounts that the molar ratio of ligand to manganese is at least 1 .25, even more preferably at least 2.0, still more preferably at least 5.0. The molar ratio of ligand to manganese is preferably at most 30, more preferably at most 20. The dinuclear ligand-manganese complex may be manufactured as such and then added to a coating composition to obtain the coating composition according to the invention. Preferably, the drier is a drier obtainable by:
- providing a manganese salt having the general formula Mn2+[X]n, wherein X is an anion having a charge of n-, wherein n is 1 or 2;

Preferably, the manganese salt and the ligand are mixed in such amounts that the molar ratio of ligand to manganese is in excess of 1 , more preferably at least 1 .25, even more preferably at least 2.0, still more preferably at least 5.0. The manganese salt and the ligand are preferably mixed in such amounts that the molar ratio of ligand to manganese is at most 30, more preferably at most 20. An advantage of an excess ligand is that the coating composition shows less yellowing.

More preferably X is R2COO", n is 2, and F½ is a C1-C20 alkyl, optionally substituted with heteroatoms. A particular preferred manganese salt is manganese octanoate, more in particular manganese ethylhexanoate.
If the drier is obtained by mixing such manganese salt with the ligand, such mixing may be carried out just before the mixture thus obtained is added to a coating composition to obtain the coating composition according to the invention. Preferably, such manganese salt and the ligand are separately added to the coating composition, under mixing, such that the mixing occurs in the coating composition. The coating composition may comprise further driers, often referred to as secondary driers. Such driers are well known in the art. Such secondary driers are typically polyvalent salts containing: barium, zirconium, calcium, bismuth, copper, zinc, iron, potassium, strontium neodymium, sodium or lithium as the cation; and, halides, nitrates, sulphates, carboxylates like acetates, ethylhexanoates, octanoates and naphthenates or acetoacetonates as the anion. Metallic soaps, which are soluble in the binder of the coating composition, may in particular be mentioned in this regard; examples of such soaps, which may be used individually or in combination, include strontium octoate, copper octoate, zirconium octoate, zinc octoate and calcium octoate.
Preferably, the coating composition does not comprise a calcium-based drier.
The coating composition may comprise, in addition to the dinuclear ligand- manganese complex, further primary driers, preferably a cobalt-free primary drier. Preferably such further primary drier is a complex of iron and a tridentate, tetradentate, pentadentate or hexadentate nitrogen donor ligand, preferably a bispidine ligand. A particular preferred bispidine ligand is a bispidon, also known as di-substituted 3-methyl-9-oxo-2,4-di(pyridine-2-yl)-7-(pyridine-2-ylmethyl)- 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1 ]nonane-1 ,5-dicarboxylate. A particularly preferred ligand is dimethyl 3-methyl-9-oxo-2,4-di(pyridine-2-yl)-7-(pyridine-2-ylmethyl)-3,7- diazabicyclo[3.3.1 ]nonane-1 ,5-dicarboxylate.
The iron in the iron-ligand complex may have any suitable oxidation state. In complexes with a bispidine or bispidon ligand, iron is preferably in its 2+ oxidation state, i.e. Fe(l l). The coating composition preferably comprises an iron(l l) complex of di-substituted 3-methyl-9-oxo-2,4-di(pyridine-2-yl)-7- (pyridine-2-ylmethyl)-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1 ]nonane-1 ,5-dicarboxylate as further primary drier, more preferably [(bispidon)Fe(l l)CI]CI or [(bispidon)Fe(l l)SO4], even more preferably [(bispidon)Fe(l l)CI]CI, which is also known as iron(1 +), chloro[dimethyl-9,9-dihydroxy-3-methyl-2,4-di(2-pyridyl-KN)-7-[(2-pyridinyl- KN)methyl]-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1 ]nonane-1 ,5-dicarboxylate-KN3, κΝ7]-, chloride(l -). This complex is registered under CAS nr. 478945-46-9 and is commercially available in solution as Borchi ® Oxy-Coat from OMG Borchers.
Preferably, the coating composition does not comprise a cobalt-based primary drier.
The coating composition may comprise the dinuclear complex of manganese and a 1 ,4,7-trisubstituted-1 ,4,7-triazacyclononane ligand and any further primary and/or secondary driers in any suitable amounts.

The amount of primary manganese drier is calculated as manganese plus ligand.
The alkyd-comprising resin is an alkyd-stabilized non-aqueous dispersion of particles of addition polymer in a non-aqueous liquid phase comprising alkyd.
Alkyd-stabilized non-aqueous dispersions (NADs) of particles of addition polymer are known in the art, for example from US 6,501 ,633, US 4,983,716, and US 5,516,820. Such NADs are typically prepared by first providing a liquid alkyd medium, and then adding to the alkyd medium one or more monomers that can form an addition polymer that is substantially insoluble in the alkyd medium, and allowing the monomers to form an addition polymer by a free radical polymerization reaction. The alkyd medium thus acts as polymerization medium and may for example be a pure alkyd, an alkyd dissolved in a one or more non-polar solvents, or an alkyd/oil mixture. The relatively polar addition polymer thus-formed will form particles in the relatively non-polar alkyd medium. Thus, the alkyd medium serves as dispersing medium for the particles of addition polymer and part of the alkyd from the medium will act as an alkyd stabilizer to stabilize the dispersed particles. The coating composition according to the invention may comprise any suitable alkyd-stabilized non-aqueous dispersion of particles of addition polymer known in the art, for example an alkyd-stabilized non-aqueous dispersion of particles of addition polymer as disclosed in US 6,051 ,633.

Dark yellowing and drying times of the white paints prepared in Examples 1 to 9 were determined as follows.
Dark yellowing
Color characteristics of the white paints prepared in Examples 1 to 9 were measured on a Leneta opacity chart. The paint was applied on the chart using a rake with a radius of 0.7 mm and dried at 23°C overnight. Then, the color of the coatings was measured using a standard colorimeter. Then, the coatings were stored in the dark at 50°C for 500h and the color of the coatings (aged coatings) was measured again. The dark yellowing is defined as the difference in b*value according to CIE-lab color space between the freshly (overnight) dried coatings and the aged coatings. The whiteness index (Wl) was calculated by using the b* and L*CIE-lab values measured on the aged coatings following the equation WI=L-3b.
Drying time until surface dry at 10 °C
Drying times were determined by BK drying on a BK or drying recorder (wet film thickness 90 μιτι; ASTM D5895-96). After the application of the film on a glass strip (B.K. recorder: 69 x 2.5 cm) a vertical blunt needle, pressed upon by a 5 grams load, is placed into the freshly applied film and then dragged through the drying paint in a direction parallel to the edges of the strip.
The three stages of BK drying in the experiment were as follows: i) the (wet) paint flows together (leveling); b) the paint has begun to polymerize but a line left by the needle is visible or traceable (basis trace); and c) drying has proceeded sufficiently that the film of paint is not displaced by the needle (the so-called "surface dry time"). In Table 2 the drying time of the paint at 10 °C to achieve step c), i.e. the surface dry time, is given (in hours). Table 2 Paint properties
