Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention is related to a high solids coating composition and in particular to a high solids coating composition that dries rapidly and cures at ambient temperatures.
Manufacturing industries are in need of coating compositions that have a high resin solids content to meet reduced solvent emmissions requirements, that dry and cure at ambient temperatures and thereby conserve energy, that dry rapidly to a tack-free finish so that a coated article can be further processed, and that form cured finishes that have good physical properties. Conventional alkyd resin coating compositions generally do not have a high solids content and do not dry rapidly at ambient temperatures.
Coating compositions of acrylic-alkyd resins such as those shown in Miller et al. U.S. Pat. No. 3,585,160 issued June 15, 1971 in which drying oil fatty acid esters are attached to an acrylic segment by a vinyl oxazoline ester generally do not have a high solids content since the polymers used therein have a relatively high molecular weight. Coating compositions of acrylic-alkyd polymers in which drying oil fatty acids are attached to an acrylic segment through a glycidyl functionality, such as glycidyl methacrylate, generally do not have a high solids content since the molecular weight of the polymer is usually high caused by side reactions that occur during formation of the acrylic-alkyd polymer.
The novel coating composition of this invention meets the aforementioned needs, has a high resin solids content, dries rapidly to a tackfree finish, cures at ambient temperatures and forms a finish that has good physical properties such as a high gloss, water spot resistance, resistance to humidity, excellent adhesion to metal substrates and good hardness.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The coating composition has a high polymer solids content in which the polymer has a backbone of polymerized monomers selected from the following group: an alkyl methacrylate, an alkyl acrylate, styrene or mixtures of these monomers and polymerized hydroxyl containing monomers which are selected from the following group: a hydroxyl alkyl acrylate, a hydroxy alkyl methacrylate or mixtures thereof; wherein an active hydrogen of at least one pendant hydroxyl group of the backbone is replaced by ##STR1## where R is the residual of a drying oil fatty acid and wherein the polymer has a glass transition temperature at least 20° C. and above.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The coating composition has a polymer solids content of about 30-95% by weight and contains about 5-70% by weight of a solvent for the polymer. The composition usually contains in addition to the above, pigments, driers and plasticizers. A portion of the solvent can be replaced with a reactive diluent which is a solvent for the polymer but reacts with the polymer on drying to form a film.
The polymer used in the coating composition has a backbone of polymerized monomers from the following group: an alkyl methacrylate, an alkyl acrylate, styrene or mixtures of these monomers and hydroxyl containing monomers such as hydroxy alkyl methacrylate, hydroxy alkyl acrylate or mixtures thereof. At least one of the pendant hydroxyl groups of the backbone is reacted with the carboxyl group of a drying oil fatty acid to provide a pending constituent that will cure under ambient temperatures.
The above monomers are chosen so that the resulting polymer has a glass transition temperature (Tg) of at least 20° C. and up to about 65° C. The polymer has a number average molecular weight (Mn) of about 1,500-8,000, a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of about 6,000-30,000 and a molecular weight distribution (Mw Dist.) Mw/Mn of about 1-5. Preferably, to form a quality high solids coating composition, the polymer a Mn of 3,000-7,000 and a Mw of 10,000-25,000 and a Mw Dist. about 2-4.
The molecular weight of the polymer is determined by gel permeation chromatography using polystyrene as a standard.
The glass transition temperature of the polymer is determined by thermomechanical analysis or by differential scanning calorimetry.
The polymer is prepared by using standard solution polymerization techniques in which monomers for the polymer backbone are charged into a conventional polymerization vessel with an appropriate solvent, polymerization catalyst and chain transfer agent and heated to about 75°-200° C. for about 0.5-5 hours to form the polymer backbone. Then drying oil fatty acids are added with an appropriate esterification catalyst and the resulting reaction mixture is heated to about 130°-250° C. for about 1-3 hours or until an acid number of the resulting polymer is less than 15, usually less than 5. Water from the reaction is removed from the vessel during the reaction.
Typically useful polymerization catalysts are azobisisobutyronitrile, 2,2-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile), benzoyl peroxide, ditertiary butyl peroxide, tertiary butyl hydroperoxide and t-butyl peroxy pivalate and the like.
Typically useful chain transfer agents are 2-mercaptoethanol, butyl mercaptan dodecyl mercaptan, thiophenol and the like.
Typically useful solvents that can be used to prepare the polymer are methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, toluene, acetone, butyl acetate, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, xylene and other high boiling aromatic solvents.
Typical esterification catalysts are dibutyl tin oxide, barium oxide, barium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, calcium oxide, barium naphthenate, lithium oxide, lithium hydroxide, zinc oxide, dibutyl tin dilaurate and the like.
Typical monomers used to prepare the backbone of the polymer are as follows: styrene, acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, alkyl methacrylates having 1-12 carbon atoms in the alkyl group such as methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, propyl methacrylate, butyl methacrylate, isobutyl methacrylate, pentyl methacrylate, hexyl methacrylate, 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate, nonyl methacrylate, lauryl methacrylate and the like, alkyl acrylates having 1-12 carbon atoms in the alkyl groups such as methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, propyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, pentyl acrylate, hexyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, nonyl acrylate, lauryl acrylate and the like, and mixtures of the above monomers. The backbone monomers are chosen to provide the polymer resulting with a Tg of at least 20° C. and above.
Typical hydroxyl containing monomers used to prepare the polymer are hydroxy alkyl methacrylates and acrylates each having 2-4 carbon atoms in the alkyl group such as hydroxy ethyl methacrylate, hydroxy propyl methacrylate, hydroxy butyl methacrylate, hydroxy ethyl acrylate, hydroxy propyl acrylate, hydroxy butyl acrylate and mixtures of the above. Other hydroxy alkyl acrylates and methacrylates that can be used are 2-hydroxy ethyl-2-ethyl acrylate, 2-hydroxy ethyl-2-butyl acrylate, 3-hydroxy propyl-2-propyl acrylate, 3-hydroxy propyl-2-butyl acrylate, 3-hydroxy butyl-2-ethyl acrylate, 3-hydroxy butyl-2-butyl acrylate, 4-hydroxy butyl-2-butyl acrylate 2-hydroxy ethyl-2-ethyl methacrylate and mixtures of the above monomers.
Typically useful drying oil fatty acids are oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, eleostearic acid, ricinoleic acid, dehydrated ricinoleic acid and mixtures thereof. These drying oil fatty acids can be obtained from soya oil, dehydrated castor oil, linseed oil, tung oil, safflower oil and sun flower seed oil. Synthetic mixtures of these drying oil fatty acids can be used. One preferred mixture comprises oleic acid, linoleic acid and conjugated linoleic acid.
One useful polymer that forms high quality coating compositions that form films that have good gloss adhesion and hardness comprises about 35-65% by weight of an alkyl methacrylate, preferably methyl methacrylate, 10-30% by weight of a hydroxy alkyl methacrylate or an hydroxy alkyl acrylate having 2-4 carbon atoms in the alkyl group and 25-45% by weight of drying oil fatty acids. One useful polymer of the above type comprises methyl methacrylate, hydroxy ethyl methacrylate and a mixture of oleic, linoleic and conjugated linoleic acids.
One preferred polymer comprises 40-55% by weight of methyl methacrylate, 15-25% by weight of hydroxy ethyl methacrylate and 30-40% by weight of the aforementioned mixture of drying oil fatty acids.
The polymer can contain in addition up to about 10% by weight based on the weight of the polymer, of an ester of the formula ##STR2## where R is an aliphatic hydrocarbon group, preferably a teritary aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 8-10 carbon atoms. Other epoxy containing monomers may be used such as ethylene oxide, butylene oxide, phenyl glycidyl ether and cyclohexene oxide. Also, multifunctional epoxy monomers can be used.
The epoxide group of the ester or the epoxy compound reacts with any residual carboxyl groups of the polymer and controls molecular weight of the polymer and prevent dimerization or trimerization of the polymer.
Blends of polymers can be used to formulate coating composition. To enhance flexibility, a polymer having a Tg of 20° C. and above can be used in combination with a polymer that has a Tg below 20° C. The Tg of the blend of polymers should be above 20° C. to provide a finish that dries to a tack free state in a relatively short period of time.
One useful blend comprises the aforementioned preferred polymer in combination with a polymer of about 35 to 55% by weight of methyl methacrylate, 15-25% by weight of a hydroxy ethyl acrylate and 30 to 40% by weight of drying oil fatty acids such as the mixture used in the above preferred polymer. Either or both of the polymers used in the blend can contain about up to 10% by weight of the aforementioned epoxy compounds.
To formulate a coating composition, the polymer after preparation which is in solution is blended with conventional driers, pigments, plasticizers and additional solvents.
Typical pigments that are used in the coating composition are metallic oxides such as titanium dioxide, iron oxide, zinc oxide, and the like, metallic flakes such as aluminum flake, bronze flake, nickel flake, metallic powders, metallic hydroxides, phthalocyanine pigments, "Monastral" pigments, molybdate pigments such as molybdate organge pigment, quinacridone pigments, sulfate pigments, carbonate pigments, carbon black pigments, silica pigments and other organic and inorganic pigments commonly used in coatings. Pigments are added in a pigment to binder weight ratio of about 0.5/100 to 200/100 where the binder is the film forming polymer constituent of the coating composition. The pigments are usually dispersed with a resin to form a pigment dispersion. The aforementioned polymer or another compatible dispersing resin can be used. The pigment dispersion is then added to the coating composition.
Organo metallic driers can be added to the coating composition in amounts of about 0.01-5% by weight, based on the weight of the coating composition. Typical metallic driers are based on cobalt, copper, lead, zirconium, calcium, iron, nickel, tin, zinc, lithium and the like and are cobalt naphthenate, copper naphthenate, lead tallate, calcium naphthenate, iron naphthenate, lithium naphthenate, lead naphthenate, nickel octoate zirconium octoate, cobalt octaoate, iron octoate, zinc octoate, alkyl tin dilaurates such as dibutyl tin dilaurate and the like.
The coating composition can contain about 0.1-5% by weight, based on the weight of the polymer, of aluminum metal from an organo aluminum complex. The organo aluminum complex is added to improve curing time, improve resistance to weathering and to moisture and reduce yellowing and improve color retention of the finish. Typically useful organo aluminum complexes are disclosed in Turner U.S. Pat. No. 4,090,886 issued May 23, 1978. Typical complexes are aluminum monoisopropoxide monoversatate (monoiospropyl)phthalate, aluminum diethoxyethoxide monoversatate, aluminumtrisecondary butoxide, aluminum diisopropoxide monoacetacetic ester chelate and aluminum isopropoxide.
Conventional plasticizers can be used in the coating composition in amounts up to 30% by weight, based on the weight of the polymer, usually about 15-25% by weight of plasticizer such as alkyd resins and polyester resins is used. A linseed oil glycerol phthalate ester resin containing about 64% linseed oil is one preferred plasticizer.
About 1-40% by weight, based on the weight of the polymer, of a reactive diluent can be used in the coating composition. The reactive diluent replaces a portion of the solvents used in the coating composition. The reactive diluent is a solvent for the polymer but upon drying and curing of the coating the reactive diluent reacts with the polymer to form a portion of the finish. The reactive diluent lowers viscosity and increses the solids content of the coating composition.
One useful reactive diluent is the reaction product of a carboxylic acid and an epoxy resin. Typical carboxylic acids that can be used are sorbic acid, itaconic acid, acrylic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, methacrylic acid, drying oil fatty acids, half esters of fumaric and maleic acid and the like. Typical epoxy resins that can be used are: epoxy resins of epichlorohydrin and bisphenol A, epichlorohydrin and hydrogenated bisphenol A, cycloaliphatic epoxy resins, heterocyclic epoxy resins, novolac epoxy resins, phenolic epoxy resins and the like. Usually these reaction products have an acid number less than 20.
A preferred reactive diluent is the reaction product of sorbic acid and an epoxy resin of epichlorohydrin and hydrogenated bisphenol A.
The coating composition is applied to a substrate by conventional techniques such as spraying, brushing, dipping roller coating, coil coating and the like. The coating composition can be applied to treated and untreated metal substrates or primed metal substrates. After application to a substrate, the resulting coating dries to a tack free condition in several minutes up to about 2 hours depending on the volatility of solvents in the composition and on ambient temperatures. The resulting coated article then can be handled and further processed. Curing of the coating continues at ambient temperatures for about one week to achieve optimum physical properties. The coating can be baked at about 50°-100° C. to accelerate drying and curing. Finishes of the dried and cured coating are about 1-5 mils in thickness.
The aforementioned characteristics make the coating composition particularly useful in the manufacture of construction equipment, farm equipment as an exterior or an interior finish. Other uses for the coating composition are refinishing automobiles and trucks, as a maintenance finish that requires a rapid drying time and as a transportation equipment finish.
The polymer used in the coating composition is an excellent pigment dispersant and is useful as a pigment dispersant. Pigment dispersions made with the polymer are compatible with many alkyd resins, acrylic resins, polyester resins and polyurethane resins. One typically useful polymer for forming pigment dispersions contains about 25 to 35% by weight methyl methacrylate, 15 to 25% by weight styrene, 15 to 25% by weight hydroxy ethyl methacrylate and 20 to 30% by weight drying oil fatty acids and can contain up to 5% by weight of the aforementioned ##STR3## ester or other epoxy containing monomers.
Other useful coating compositions that provide finishes with improved flexibility use a polymer that is identical to the aforementioned polymers except the Tg is below 20° C. These coating compositions may not dry as rapidly as the forementioned compositions, for example, a tack free condition may take from about 4-12 hours and above. However, these compositions cure to optimum physical properties in about one week to provide finishes that are flexible and durable.
Useful polymers for these coating compositions are of about 35-65% by weight of an alkyl methacrylate, 10-30% by weight of a hydroxy alkyl acrylate and 25-45% by weight of drying oil fatty acids. One typically useful polymer comprises methylmethacrylate, hydroxy ethyl acrylate and a mixture of oleic, linoleic and conjugated linoleic acid and has a Tg of about 15° C. This polymer by itself is useful to form a coating composition or can be blended with the aforementioned polymers having a relatively high Tg, i.e., 20° C. and above to form useful coating compositions.
These polymers can also contain up to 5% by weight of the above ester of other epoxy containing monomers.
The following examples illustrate the invention. All parts and percentages are on a weight basis unless indicated otherwise. Molecular weights (Mw) are determined by gel permeation chromatography using polystyrene as the standard.
