Definitions

  • the invention relates to transparent one-part moisture curing polyurethane top coats of high solids content, low viscosity and high performance with regard to strength, elasticity, interlayer adhesion and durability against UV, heat and hydrolysis, and their use on elastic pigmented polyurethane floor systems, particularly for outdoor uses on balconies, terraces and footbridges.
  • Transparent top coats for elastic outdoor polyurethane floors are known, for example for the application on balconies. Particularly easy to apply are so-called one- part products, which do not need a metering and mixing step before the application.
  • State-of-the-art one-part transparent top coats are typically either solventbased or water-based, with a solids content in the range of 40 to 60 weight-%. They suffer from limited elasticity and limited stability against hydrolysis. In particular they have insufficient interlayer adhesion after long-term exposure to standing water, also called ponding water. Solvent-based products have further limitations, such as harsh hazard labelling and intense odour, whereas water-based products suffer from insufficient cure speed under cold and humid conditions, so that their use is seasonally restricted.
  • Pigmented one-part moisture-curing polyurethane coatings with reliable curing and their use as so-called liquid-applied membranes for the waterproofing of roofs are known, for example from US 9,752,054.
  • US 8,178,167 describes similar coatings for the use on floors. These coatings are based on polyoxypropylene glycol polyols and isophorone diisocyanate in combination with special aldimines. They have a limited tensile strength, and their durability against UV and hydrolysis is limited, particularly when they are used in thin layers. Summary of the invention
  • the task of this invention is to provide an elastic coating with good application properties at high solids content, high strength and durability at high elasticity and high stability against UV and hydrolysis, suitable for the use as transparent top coat on elastic polyurethane floors for outdoor use.
  • the one-part moisture curing polyurethane composition according to claim 1. It comprises at least one isocyanate-functional polymer with an NCO-content in the range of 5 to 10 weight-% in relation to the total polymer, obtained from the reaction of at least one aliphatic diisocyanate, preferably isophorone diisocyanate, with at least one polyol selected from the group consisting of poly(oxy-1 ,4-butylene) diols, aliphatic polycarbonate diols based on a linear diol and amorphous dimer fatty acid based polyester diols, and at least one aldimine of the formula (I).
  • This combination enables compositions of low odour with a low viscosity, a good shelf life stability, good mechanical properties and a good UV resistance.
  • the inventive composition is not water-based and has preferably a very low content of low boiling organic diluents. It is low viscous and can be easily applied in a thin layer, suitable as top coat onto elastic polyurethane floors. It shows a long open time and cures fast and reliably to a non-tacky film at ambient temperatures, also under cold and humid conditions. It can be formulated without pigments and fillers to form a transparent film after curing. In cured state, it shows a particularly high tensile strength at high elogation, together with a high scratch and abrasion resistance and a very good weathering resistance, particularly in terms of UV light, heat and water-exposure, with particularly low yellowing.
  • isocyanate-functional polymers based on poly(oxy-1 ,4- butylene) diols. These compositions show a surprisingly good interlayer adhesion on elastic pigmented polyurethane floors, even after prolonged exposure to standing water, which is particularly difficult to achieve.
  • the inventive composition is particularly suitable for outdoor use as transparent top coat on elastic polyurethane floors, which are exposed to harsh environmental conditions, for example on balconies, terraces and footbridges.
  • Other aspects of the invention are described in other independent claims. Preferred aspects of the invention are described in dependent claims.
  • the subject of the present invention is a one-part moisture-curing polyurethane composition, comprising
  • At least one isocyanate-functional polymer an NCO-content in the range of 5 to 10 weight-% in relation to the total polymer, obtained from the reaction of at least one aliphatic diisocyanate with at least one polyol selected from the group consisting of poly(oxy-1 ,4-butylene) diols, aliphatic polycarbonate diols based on a linear diol and amorphous dimer fatty acid based polyester diols, optionally in combination with at least one chain extender which is a diol with two primary hydroxyl groups and a molecular weight in the range of 60 to 150 g/mol, and
  • A is a n-valent aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or arylaliphatic hydrocarbyl moiety possibly containing ether oxygen with a molecular weight in the range of 84 to 500 g/mol
  • R 1 and R 2 are the same or different Ci to C4 alkyl, or are joined together to form a C4 to Ce alkylene
  • R 3 and R 4 are the same or different Ci to Cs alkyl optionally containing ether oxygen, or are joined together to form a C4 to Ce alkylene optionally containing ether oxygen.
  • the term facedone-part moisture-curing polyurethane composition refers to a polyurethane composition, which is stored in a single moisture-tight container before use, has shelf life stability and cures when exposed to moisture. Such one-part compositions are also referred to as locallyone-component”, possiblyone-pack“ orarrangingsingle-pack“ compositions.
  • the term crizo-fite composition refers to the ability of a composition to be stored at room temperature in a suitable container under exclusion of moisture for a certain time interval, in particular several months, without undergoing significant changes in application or end-use properties.
  • ..molecular weight refers to the molar mass (g/mol) of a molecule or a moiety of a molecule.
  • ..average molecular weight refers to the number average molecular weight (Mn) of an oligomeric or polymeric mixture of molecules or moieties of molecules. It is determined by means of gel permeation chromatography (GPC) against polystyrene as the standard, particularly with tetra- hydrofuran as the mobile phase and a refractive index detector.
  • GPC gel permeation chromatography
  • the term refers to the mass fraction of a constituent of a composition based on the entire composition, unless stated otherwise.

Particularly preferred is isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI). This aliphatic diisocyanate enables a particuarly good shelf life stability together with a low viscosity and a high strength at high elongation.
  • the at least one polyol has preferably an average OH-number in the range of 50 to 180 mg KOH/g, more preferably 80 to 180 mg KOH/g, particularly 100 to 160 mg KOH/g.

  • a preferred amorphous dimer fatty acid based polyester diol is Priplast® 1838 or Priplast® 3238 (from Croda). These diols enable a high hydrophobicity and a low viscosity.
  • Most preferred polyols are poly(oxy-1 ,4-butylene) diols.
  • a poly(oxy-1 ,4-butylene) diol is a polyether diol with 1 ,4-butyleneoxy units. Such a diol is also called a polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG or PTMG). It enables a good UV stability and a high resistance against hydrolysis together with a surprisingly good interlayer adhesion after long term water exposure if the composition is used as top coat.

  • compositions were tested as follows: The viscosity was measured as previously described, a first time after storing the moisture-tight container in normal climate for one day ("1d NC”), and again after storing the moisture-tight container in an oven at 40°C for 6 weeks (“6w 40°C”) The odour was judged by smelling with the nose from a distance of approximately 150 mm an amount of 50 g of the composition, which was spread out to a layer thickness of approximately 1 mm. "Slight” indicates a slight amine-like odour, “intense” indicates a strong, sharp odour . Cure speed was determined at normal climate (“BK drying time at NC”) and also at 5°C/30% relative humidity (“BK drying at 5°C/30%rh”) using a Beck-Koller drying time recorder according to ASTM D5895.
  • the tensile strength and the elongation at break were determined as previously described.
  • a glass plate coated with a cured film of 0.1 mm thickness was made.
  • the cured films of all the coatings were homogenous, non-tacky and bubble-free. Such films are indicated as “clear” in Table 4.
  • "Opaque” means that the film was not fully transparent.
  • the transparency was determined by measuring the absorption of the coated glass plate in a spectrophotometer (SF600 CT-plus, from Datacolor) with D65 artificial light, wherein "0" indicates full transparency and "100” indicates full absorption, which means full intransparency. Values below “20” indicate high transparency, values below "10” indicate very high transparency.
  • the heat age at 80°C and the hydrolysis at 70°C/100%rh were determined with a cured film as described for the determination of the tensile strength, which was additionally stored for 4 weeks in an oven at 80°C or for 4 weeks in a chamber with 70°C at 100% relative humidity, respectively, follwed by 24 hours in normal climate, before the tensile strength and the elongation at break were determined as described before.
  • a loss of strength and/or a loss of elongation in comparison to the original values without heat age or hydrolysis indicates limited resistance to heat or hydrolysis.
  • An increase of strength without a loss of elongation is a typical phenomena when some of the TOU evaporates from the film in the heat.
  • the UV resistance was determined with the same QUV accelerated wheathering setting and judgement as described before, but with two layer samples:
  • the aluminium panels were first coated with 1.29 kg/m 2 (1 mm) of Sikafloor®-420 (one- part elastic, pigmented polyurethane coating, from Sika), and - after a curing time of 24 h at normal climate - with 0.3 kg/m 2 of each composition as top coat.
  • the so- prepared samples were tested after 24 h curing at normal climate, followed by 72 h curing in an oven at 60°C, followed by another 24 h curing at normal climate.
  • the interlayer adhesion was determined in the same way as described before.
  • a strip peel adhesion test was made after 1 d, 7 d and 28 d curing at normal climate. Further strip peel adhesion tests were made with a film after 28 d curing at normal climate, followed by 1 d, 7d and 28 d water immersion at 23°C. Further strip peel adhesion tests were made with a film after 28 d curing at normal climate followed by 5 d, 14 d and 28 d water immersion at 70°C. The results are given in Table 4.
