Core-shell structure hydroxyl acrylic resin emulsion and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a core-shell structure hydroxyl acrylic resin emulsion which is suitable for serving as a hydroxyl component in woodware coatings, water-based anticorrosive coatings and the like, and belongs to the field of industrial protective coatings.
Background
Acrylic resin has the advantages of good weather resistance, good chemical stability, high glossiness and the like, and is widely used in the field of coatings. The hydroxyl acrylic resin is matched with isocyanate or amino resin for use and is applied to bi-component polyurethane paint or amino baking paint, most of the hydroxyl acrylic resin in the existing woodware and metal protective paint is solvent type resin, more than 50 wt% of organic solvent is contained, and the solvents not only pollute the environment, but also damage the human health. With the stricter environmental protection requirements in the global scope, the water-based hydroxyl acrylic resin coating product is widely applied.
The aqueous hydroxy acrylic resin is classified into a dispersion type and an emulsion type according to different synthesis processes. The hydroxy acrylic resin dispersoid is obtained by synthesizing hydroxy acrylic resin containing hydrophilic carboxylate by a solution polymerization method and then dispersing. The hydroxyl content is higher, the prepared coating film has excellent chemical resistance, but the production process is complex, the molecular weight is low, most of the coating film contains higher organic solvent, and the cost is higher.
In contrast, the emulsion type hydroxy acrylic resin is prepared by adopting an emulsion polymerization process, the production process is simple, the cost is low, but the final performance of the prepared paint film is influenced by the conventional micromolecular emulsifier or reactive emulsifier. In addition, in the emulsion polymerization process, since macromolecular radicals are enclosed in emulsion particles isolated from each other, only the initial radicals (or active chains with extremely low molecular weight) diffused from the aqueous phase into the emulsion particles can undergo a chain termination reaction with the original radical chains in the emulsion particles, while the radicals in different emulsion particles do not collide with each other to cause a chain termination possibility. Therefore, compared with other free radical type polymerization processes, due to the isolation effect of the closed latex particles, the emulsion polymerization reaction has low chain termination rate and long service life of macromolecular free radicals, and can have sufficient time for chain growth, the molecular weight of the polymer prepared by the emulsion method is much larger than that of the polymer prepared by other polymerization methods, and the hydroxyl in the emulsion is easily embedded and cannot play a role in crosslinking in the film forming process due to the larger molecular weight, so that the final performance of a paint film is also influenced.
CN200510134997.0 discloses an emulsion type hydroxyl-containing acrylic resin with a core-shell configuration, wherein a reactive emulsifier with higher cost is adopted to reduce the influence of a conventional micromolecule emulsifier on a resin paint film, but the resin is prepared by a conventional emulsion polymerization method, and the obtained resin has higher molecular weight and is not beneficial to the crosslinking and film forming of the final resin.
CN201010118868.3 discloses an acrylate hybrid emulsion, which is prepared by a seed emulsion polymerization process and consists of large particles composed of polymers with rich hydroxyl groups on the surface layer and small particles composed of polymers with rich carboxylate on the surface layer, and has a high hydroxyl group content, but the synthesized acrylate hybrid emulsion is composed of various particles, the cost is high, and the resin contains a conventional small molecular emulsifier, which results in insufficient film forming resistance.
Therefore, there is a need to develop a novel hydroxyl acrylic resin emulsion with high gloss, high hardness, high resistance, and low cost to meet the application in wood coatings, water-based anticorrosive coatings, and the like.
