Description

s~

The present invention relates to saturated cross-linkable composi-tions for paint in powder form, more particularly to compositions having an epoxy resin and a cross-linking agent having acid-anhydri~e groupsO
A Canadian Patent Application 242,409 in the Applicant's name, filed December 23rd, 1975, describes compositions containing a dianhydride having es~er group functions obtained by reacting trimellitic anhydride with a diol in a trimellitic anhydride:diol molecular ratio of less than two, preferably between 2:1 and 2:1,5, and the use thereof as cross-linkers in saturated cross-linkable compounds or compositions containirg a saturated polyester resin having mainly hydroxyl group functions.
The Applicant has now found that the anhydride cross-linking compounds having ester group functions may be used as epoxy-resin cross-linking agents. The present invention therefore relates to saturated cross-linkable compositions comprising at least one saturated epoxy resin and at least one cross-linking agent which is a compound containing a dianhydride having ester group functions. The invention also relates to paints in powder form comprising the said composition and their method of preparation.
According to the present invention, there is provided a powdered saturated cross-linkable composition suitable for use as a bonding agent in a powdered paint mixture, said composition comprising at least one epoxy resin and a dianhydride cross-linking agent having at least one ester group function obtained by the reaction of trimellitic anhydride with a diol con-taining from 2 to 10 carbon atoms in a molar ratio of trimellitic anhydride to diol bet~een 2:1 and 2:1.5.
The compositions according to the invention contain a saturated epoxy resin, which are known condensation products of a diphenol such as 2,2-;` ' , ~ ~

:~ `
. .
.
(4-hydroxyphenyl)-propane and of an epihalohydrin such as epichlorhydrin, the molecular ratio of the epichlorhydrin or diphenol being generally between 1,2 and 1,5, and which are prepared by known methods. The epoxy resins used in the compositions according to the invention are solid masses, the melting ` points of which, as measured by the ball-and-ring method, are between 50 and 120C, preferably between 70 and 100Co The epoxy equivalent of the epoxy resins is between about 400 and 1500, preferably between 500 and 1000.
~; These epoxy resins are known in the art As non-restrictive examples, representative resins are epoxy resins having epoxy equivalents of between 850 and 950, as described by S.T. HARRIS -"The technology of powder coatings - PORTCULIIS PRESS, London - 1976 - pages 16 and 17"; and for example resins sold commercially by CIB~-GEIGY under the Trade Mark ARALDITE
7004, DER 664 U, Trade Mark, sold by DOW, and the resin sold by SHELL
CHEMICAL under the Trade Mark EPIKOTE 10040 The cross-linking agent according to the present invention is a compound having anhydride groups. It generally consists of a dianhydride compound having ester groups obtained by reacting trimellitic anhydride with a diol in a molecular ratio generally between 2:1 and 2:1,50 The diol used is preferably ethylene glycol. The cross-linking agent has a softening point of between 70 and 120C, preferably between 75 and 110C, an acid index in an aqueous medium preferably between 390 and 540~ and an acid index in an alcohol medium preferably between 250 and 320. The cross-linking agent is . . .
generally prepared by reacting trimellitic anhydride and diol at a temperature ``~ of between 180 and 250 C until no further water is released.

The compositions according to the invention are cross-linkable by poly-addition and poly-condensation at temperatures of between 140 and 200~, ' ;. ;

for periods of between S and 40 minutes.
In the case of paints in powder form in which the bonding agent ~ is a composition according to the invention, the epoxy resin and its cross-`~ linking agent are present, respectively, in quantities such that there exists substantially stoichiometric equilibrium between the reactive functions of the two constituents. Paint compositions in powder form contain, in addition to the above-mentioned bonding agents, film-forming or spreading agents in amounts of between 0,1 and 1.0% by weight of the composition such as acrylic polymers and additives known in the paint industry, such as pig-ments, dyestuffs and fillers.
The paints in powder form according to the invention are prepared merely by mixing the paint constituents in a certain order or certain combina-tions. For example, the resin and the cross-linking agent may first be mixed to form the bonding agent composition by melting at a temperature generally below 120 C, preferably below 100 C, for a short time, in an internal mixer, an extruder, or an apparatus of the Bliss type. This is followed by cooling, after which the bonding agent is crushed and the additives are incorporated in a dry-mixing operation. This is followed by further mi~ing by melting, as before. It is also possible to mix various constituents together before the final mixing by melting. It is generally preferable to mix all of the solid constituents together in the dry state, and then to homogenize them by melting the organic constituentsO The product thus obtained is crushed, grolmd and screened to a particle size which does not generally exceed 100 microns. The products thus obtained are generally applied by known methods such as that of the fluidized bed and electrostatic pulverization onto previously degreased heat-resistant materials such as metals or ceramics, after which cross-linking is carried out at temperatures .2~
..: `
of be~een 150 and 220C for between 5 and 40 minutes. The average thickness of the coating obtained upon the base is usually between 30 and 120 microns.
The compounds according to the invention make it possible to ob-tain coatings having superior or mechanical properties, such as resistance to impact and bending, and superior chemical properties, such as resistance to solvents.
Paints in powder form, in which the bonding agent is a constituent ~` according to the invention are used in automobiles, eonstruction, and agri-cultural machines as coatings for metallic surfacesO
The following examples are intended to be merely illustrative and ;~ non-restrictive the proportions being by weight unless otherwise indicated.
~PLE 1 The epoxy resin used in this example is ~raldite 7004, Trade Mark for epoxy resin sold by CIBA-GEIGY.
The cross-linking agent used is prepared by reacting 384 g (2 moles) of a trimellitic anhydride with 77,5 g (1,25 mole~ of ethylene glycol. The trimellitie anhydride is first plaeed in a reaetor swept with nitrogen which is heated to 230 C. The~ethylene glycol is then introduced progressively, the temperature in the reactor being maintained by external coolingO Two hours after the end of this addition, there is no further release of waterO
" The produet is then cast, cooled and ground and has the following charac-teristics: `
- acid index in an aqueous medium 463 - acid index in an alcohol medium 284 - melting point (ball-and-ring method) ~0C.
The paint powder composition is then prepared as follows:
- ~raldite resin lO0 parts - Cross-linking agent as prepared above 25 parts - . .

~L3.~ 7 ,, - TiO2 rutile ~- 50 parts - film-forming agent~ 2 parts me powdered components are thoroughly mixed and the mixture is extruded from a Buss mixer at a temperature of 100 C. ~he mixture is cooled, ; finely gro~md, and then screened through a 100 micron-mesh screen.
The paint powder mixture thus obtained is applied with an electro-static gun ~SAMES brand Trade Mark) to a steel plate which has been previous-ly degreased, the steel plate measuring 20 x 10 x 0,8 cmO This plate is then baked for 25 minutes at 200C.
~ 10 After cooling, the cured film of paint is checked for the follow-- ing properties:
- impact resistance : measured according to NFT 30039 - Ericson deep-drawing : " " " NFT 30019 ~ - ASTM bending : " " " ASTM D 522-60 - Persoz hardness (seconds): " " " NFT 30016 - MEK test a drop of methyl-ethyl ketone is : placed upon the coating, the spot is rubbed with a fingernail, and the time in minutes, required to remove .~ the coating, is noted.

~A~PLE 2 The epoxy resin used in this example is the same as that used in . Example lo The cross-linking agent is prepared as in Example 1, but the trimellitic anhydride : ethylene glycol molecular ratio is as 2:1,50 The cross-linking agent thus obtained has the following characteristics:
