Abstract
Description
- This is a divisional of U.S. Ser. No. 10/977,587, filed Oct. 29, 2004, now pending. U.S. Ser. No. 10/977,587 is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- The present invention relates to non-chrome containing coatings for metals. More particularly, the present invention relates to non-chromate coatings for zinc coated metal surfaces to improve the corrosion resistance of the treated metal. The invention provides a dried in place coating which is particularly effective at treating zinc coated, aluminum coated, or aluminum-zinc alloy coated, steel coil strip.
- It is well known to those skilled in the art to employ a chromate conversion or passivation coating on the surface of galvanized steel to impart improved corrosion resistance of bare and painted metal, improve adhesion of coatings, and for aesthetic purposes. For example see Corrosion, L. L. Sheir, R. A. Jarman, G. T. Burstein, Eds. (3rd Edition, Butterworth-Heinemann Ltd, Oxford, 1994), vol. 2, chapter 15.3.
- Growing concerns exist regarding the toxicity profile of chromium and the pollution effect of chromates discharged into rivers and waterways by such processes. Because of the high solubility and the strongly oxidizing character of hexavalent chromium ions, conventional chromate conversion processes require extensive water treatment procedures to control their discharge. In addition, the disposal of the solid sludge from such waste treatment procedures is a significant problem.
- Accordingly, there is a need in the art to provide an effective non-chromate treatment to provide dried in place conversion or passivating coating to inhibit metal surface corrosion and enhance adhesion of paint on or other coatings that may be applied to the surface.
- Numerous compositions for providing non-chromate conversion coatings for galvanized steel are known to those skilled in the art.
- The present invention pertains to a composition for treating the surface of galvanized metals, such as steel, to provide for the formation of a conversion or passivating coating which increases the corrosion resistance of bare or painted metal, adhesion properties of painted metal, and/or the lubricity properties of unpainted metal. The composition comprises (a) phosphonomethylated polyamine. The metal composition may also contain one or more of the following: (b) a fluoacid, (c) a silane, (d) an inorganic phosphorous acid, (e) a latex polymer film-forming component, and (f) a lubricity additive. After contact of the metal surface with the above treatment, the treatment is then dried in place to form the desired passivation coating.
- Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description and appended claims.
- It has been discovered that chrome-free conversion or passivation coatings can be provided on metal surfaces, especially galvanized metal surfaces such as hot dipped galvanized, electrogalvanized, and Galvalume® steel surfaces, by contacting the desired surface with an aqueous solution or dispersion comprising a phosphonomethylated polyamine. Especially effective are aqueous solution or dispersion formulations including: (a) a phosphonomethylated polyamine, (b) a fluoacid, (c) a silane, (d) an inorganic phosphorus acid, and optionally (e) a latex polymeric film component and/or (f) a lubricity additive. Aqueous pretreatment compositions provide improved corrosion resistance of bare and painted metal, adhesion of applied coatings to painted metal, and lubricity of bare metal. As presently used, the term “bare metal” refers to metal surfaces that are treated with a conversion or passivation coating composition but which have not been painted.
- The phosphonomethylated polyamine compound (a) contemplated can be prepared by 1) polymerization of an amino containing compound with a bridging reagent capable of linking the amino compounds together, with the proviso that the resulting polyamine amine intermediate consists of amino hydrogen functionality, and then 2) phosphonomethylation of all or some of the available amino hydrogen atoms. A structural representation of the phosphonomethylated polyamine compound is given by Formula I
- wherein “A” is the segment formed from polymerization of one or more amine containing monomers; “X” is the segment formed from polymerization of one or more bridging reagents capable of linking said amino compounds together; n is from about 1 to about 50,000; R1 is selected from the group —H, substituted or unsubstituted C1-C18 alkyl or aryl, poly[alkylene oxide], —CH2—PO(OR2)2, or mixtures thereof; R2 is —H or a water-soluble cation; with the proviso that at least 20% of RI is —CH2—PO(OR2)2. Molecular weight and viscosity of the phosphonomethylated polyamine are not critical provided that the polyamine is either water-soluble or water dispersible.
- Exemplary amino compounds encompassing segment “A” include, but are not limited to, diamine compounds comprising two primary amine functionalities, such as 1,2-ethylenediamine, 1,3-propylenediamine, 1,3-diamino-2hydroxypropane, 1,4-butylenediamine, 1,6-hexamethylenediamine, 2-methyl-1,5-pentanediamine, trimethyl hexamethylenediamine, 1,2-diaminocyclohexane, and 3-amino-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexylamine; polyamines, such as diethylenetriamine, bis(hexamethylenetriamine), triethylenetetraamine, and tetraethylenepentaamine; primary amines, such as ethanolamine, allylamine, benzylamine, and laurylamine; polyetheramines, such as the Jeffamine® series of products available from Huntsman Corporation and the DPA and PA series of products available from Tomah Products, Inc.; amino acids, such as glycine, alanine, glucosamine, and iminodiacetic acid; mixtures of any of the foregoing and the like.
- Exemplary bridging reagents encompassing segment “X” include, but are not limited to, epihalohydrins such as epichlorohydrin and 1,2-epoxy-4-chlorobutane; (cyclo)alkylene dihalides such as ethylenedichloride, 2-chloroethyl ether, and 1,2-dichlorocylcohexane; diepoxides such as 1,2,7,8-diepoxyoctane and diglycidyl ether; mixtures of any of the foregoing and the like.
- The repeat unit of the polyamine formed between the polymerization of “A” with “X” contains, at minimum, 100 mole % N—H (hydrogen amino) functionality per mole of “A”. For example, in the theoretical polymerization of an equal molar amounts of ethylenediamine with “X” as shown in Formula II the mole % N—H content would be calculated as follows: Mole % N—H functionality=(2/1)*100=200%. If 50 mole % of the ethylenediamine was replaced with dimethylamine as shown in Formula III the mole % N—H content would be calculated as follows: Mole % N—H functionality=(2/2)*100=100%.
- In one aspect of the invention, the amino compounds encompassing segment “A” comprise a molar percentage of diamine to primary amine from about 100:0 to 75:25; the bridging reagents encompassing segment “X” is an epihalohydrin; and R1 is as previously described.

No. 4,857,205 (incorporated herein by reference) and having the formula
- wherein R2, R3, R5, R6, R7, and R8 are independently selected from hydrogen and phosphonomethylated radical corresponding to the formula —CH2—PO(OH2)2 with the proviso that at least 20% of R2, R3, R5, R6, R7, and R8 are CH2—PO(OH)2 or water-soluble or water dispersible salts thereof, R4 is a divalent radical selected from the group consisting of (a) unsubstituted alkylene groups having at least about 2 and at most about 12 carbon atoms; (b) substituted alkylene groups having at least about 2 and at most about 12 carbon atoms wherein at least one hydrogen of the alkylene group is substituted with a radical selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, methyl ammonium, ethyl ammonium and ammonium groups, and the other hydrogen atoms of the substituted alkylene group are unsubstituted; (c) cyloalkylene groups having at least 3 and at most about 12 carbon atoms; (d) oxyalkylene groups wherein the alkylene moiety has from about 1-12 carbon atoms, or ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide groups such as those provided by Huntsman Jeffamine® and Tomah® Inc. polyetheramines products; and (e)
- where R9 is defined as R2, R3, R5, R6, R7, and R8 above with the proviso that at least 20% of R2, R3, R5, R6, R7, and R8 are CH2—PO(OH)2 or water-soluble or water dispersible salts thereof, and R′ and R″ are independently selected from the group consisting of such unsubstituted alkylene groups, such substituted alkylene groups, and such cycloalkylene groups. In Formula IV, y is between about 1 and about 50,000. Again, molecular weight and viscosity are not critical as long as the resulting phosphonomethylated polyamine is water-soluble or dispersible in water.
- Preferably, R4 in Formula IV is a straight chain alkylene group wherein the hydrogen atoms of the alkylene group are unsubstituted or wherein at least one of the hydrogen atoms of the alkylene group is substituted with a methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, methyl ammonium, ethyl ammonium or ammonium group. If at least one of the hydrogen atoms is so substituted, preferably the other hydrogen atoms of the alkylene group are unsubstituted. Particularly preferred —N—R4—N— groups are based on alkylenediamines, including hexamethylenediamine, 1,4-butylenediamine, 1,2-ethylenediamine, 3-methylpentamethylenediamine and 2-methylpentamethylene-diamine. However, where —N—R4—N— is derived from a triamine, preferred alkylene triamines include diethylenetriamine.
- The phosphonomethylated polyamine compound (a) contemplated can be prepared via a multi-step process involving first the polymerization of amino compounds with a bridging reagent capable of linking together the amino compounds such that the resulting polyamine intermediate contains, at minimum, 100 mole % N—H (amino hydrogen) functionality per mole of amine.

- It is to be understood that the aforementioned synthesis methods do not in any way limit the synthesis of the phosphonomethylated polyamine compound (a) contemplated. For example, one skilled in the art can envision preparation of polyamines such as, inter alia, poly[diallylamine] via radical chain (i.e., addition) polymerization that, upon phosphonomethylation, can increase the corrosion resistance of metal surfaces.
- The phosphonomethylated polyamine compound contemplated can be utilized as produced or it may be purified by methods know to those skilled in the art.

The sum of all components of the composition equals 100 wt %. The pH of the compositions should be less than or equal to about 6. - The requisite metal surface may be contacted by the treatment in spray, immersion, or roller applications. The treatment is then dried, and the metal surface is ready for painting or other coating applications.
- The conversion or passivation treatment the present invention is applied to result in a conversion coating weight of greater than about 1 milligram per square foot to the treated surface with a weight of about 2-500 milligrams per square foot being more preferred. For use in commercial applications, working solutions comprising about 3-100 wt %, preferably 10-100 wt % concentrations of the above formulations are used to contact the desired metal surfaces.
- The invention will now be described in conjunction with the following examples which are to be regarded as being illustrative of certain embodiments of the invention but should not be viewed to restrict the scope of same.
- To a suitable reaction vessel equipped with a mechanical stirrer, thermocouple, addition ports, nitrogen sparge, and a water-cooled condenser is charged a 30 wt % solution of 1,6-hexamethylenediamine. The solution is sparged with nitrogen to inert the reactor, then the vessel is configured to have a nitrogen blanket. The reactor contents are then heated to 95±2° C. and epichlorohydrin is added in portions until a significant increase in the batch viscosity is observed. The total amount of epichlorohydrin utilized is typically 83 mole % of the 1,6 hexamethylenediamine charge. The epichlorohydrin portions are 50%, 25%, 15%, then 5% of the theoretical total until the desired viscosity is achieved. The first epichlorohydrin portion is charged over a 1-hour period, and that addition rate is maintained for the next two additions. All additions thereafter are added shot wise. The batch is held at temperature for 15-20 minutes between epichlorohydrin portion additions. Once a viscous solution is achieved, typically determined by observing the loss of a vortex, water is charged to the reaction vessel to yield a nominal 38 wt % solids solution. The batch is held at 95±2° C. after addition and the viscosity is allowed to increase. Then, again after the batch is observed to become viscous, water and a molar equivalent of aqueous phosphoric acid relative to the hexamethylenediamine charge are added to yield a nominal 40% solids aqueous solution. The batch is then held at 95±2° C. for 30 minutes, then is cooled to room temperature. The typical viscosity of the polyamine intermediate ranged from 500-1,500 cps, and the typical pH ranged from 4.0 to 4.6. The mole reactive N—H/g product is nominally 0.0032 as determined by the following equation: [(moles 1,6-hexamethylenediamine*4)−(moles epichlorohydrin charged*2)]/batch weight.
- The batch is then adjusted to pH 1.5-1.8 with 32 wt % aqueous hydrochloric acid, typically 18 mole % of the reactive N—H content. 70 wt % Aqueous phosphorous acid, corresponding to 75 mole % of the reactive N—H content, is charged to the reactor vessel and the batch is heated to 85±2° C. An equal molar amount of 37 wt % aqueous formalin, relative to the phosphorous acid charge, is then added drop wise over a 1-hour period. After addition, the batch is heated to 93±2° C. and held for 6 hours. The batch is then cooled to room temperature, adjusted to nominally 40 wt % solids with water, and collected. The typical viscosity of the resulting phosphonomethylated polyamine compound of the invention ranged from 35-45 cps, and the typical pH was less than 1.0. Based on 31P NMR analysis the fate of the hypophosphorous acid was as follows:—55 mole % phosphonomethylation product, 25 mole % residual, and 20 mole % oxidized to phosphoric acid. This corresponds to a nominal conversion of reactive N—H functionality to —CH2—PO3H2 functionality of 41.25 mole %.
- Test panels of G70/70 hot dipped galvanized (HDG) from ACT Laboratories and Galvalume® from Steelscape Inc. were prepared by spray cleaning with 3 wt % of an aqueous alkaline surfactant product (GE Betz Kleen 132), rinsed with tap water followed by DI water, then dried. A solution consisting of 15.0 wt % of the phosphonomethylated polyamine compound of Example 1, 8.5 wt % of 75 wt % aqueous phosphoric acid, 6.3 wt % of 26 Be Ammonium Hydroxide, 6.0 wt % of 60 wt % aqueous fluotitanic acid, 1.0 wt % Silquest A-1230 (a polyalkyleneoxide alkoxysilane commercially available from GE Silicones), and the balance water was applied to the panels utilizing a reverse roll coater. The treated panels were then dried in an oven at 450° F. to peak metal temperatures (PMT) of 200° F. The average coating weight of the panels were determined by measuring the Ti count expressed as mg/ftz: 9.16 for the HDG sample set and 6.60 for the Galvalume® set. The treated panels were evaluated in Neutral Salt Spray (NSS) test according to ASTM B-117 and rated at various time intervals according to ASTM D-1654 relative to benchmark chrome-based treatment programs.
- As demonstrated in Table 1, the phosphonomethylated polyamine formulation contemplated provided corrosion inhibition equal to or greater than the benchmarked chrome based formulation on HDG metallurgy. Tables 2 and 3 demonstrate the phosphonomethylated polyamine formulation contemplated provided corrosion inhibition equal to or slightly less than the benchmarked chrome based formulation on Galvalume®. It is noted that the formulation contemplated absent the phosphonomethylated polyamine component results in significant white rust (>50% in 96 hours) for both HDG and Galvalume®.

In this example the four Galvalume® panels each (average coating weight 5.98 mg Ti/ft2) were dried to a PMT of 150° F. and 200° F. and evaluated for NSS as well as the QCT Condensing Humidity test according to ASTM D-4585 and an internal wet pack test (WPT, a minimum of 6 wetted panels with the treated side facing each other are stacked under 15 ft/lb in2 pressure and placed in a 100% humidity cabinet at 100° F. and are evaluated periodically for the appearance of rust, 0% rust=perfect) to simulate storage of coil under humid conditions. The results of this testing summarized in Table 4 demonstrate the robustness of the phosphonomethylated polyamine formulation contemplated with regard to cure temperature.

The data in Table 5 demonstrates that the lubricity characteristics for the Example 2 composition contemplated formulated with Silquest A-1230 are very comparable to chrome-based programs; whereas, the Example 3 composition contemplated formulated with Silquest A-1100 is not significantly different than the cleaned only metal. The CoKF for the formulation of Example 3 topped off with 2 wt % of Michem® Lube 188F and Michem® Lube 160 PF, commercial available from Michelman Incorporated, was evaluated and found to be 0.04 and 0.18 on treated HDG, respectively.
