Paint systems epoxy resins

The liquid polymers can be formulated into caulking compounds, adhesives, air-drying paints, and epoxy resin systems [32,33]. 

Epoxy paints (see also Section 2.10) are usually applied as two-pack systems. Curing with amines is preferred in high-solids systems. Epoxy resins may also be used as coreactants or reactive diluents in low-solvent paints based on acrylic, polyester, or alkyd resins.

A variety of thermosetting resins are used in SMC. Polyesters represent the most volume and are available in systems that provide low shrinkage and low surface profile by means of special additives. Class A automotive surface requirements have resulted in the development of sophisticated systems that commercially produce auto body panels that can be taken direcdy from the mold and processed through standard automotive painting systems, without additional surface finishing. Vinyl ester and epoxy resins (qv) are also used in SMC for more stmcturaHy demanding appHcations. 

Thin coatings consist of paints and varnishes, which are applied as liquids or powdered resin with a thickness of about 0.5 mm [e.g., epoxy resin (EP) [2]]. Typical thick coatings are bituminous materials [3] and polyolefins [e.g., polyethylene (PE) [4]], thick coating resin combinations [e.g., EP tar and polyurethane (PUR) tar [2]] as well as heat-shrinkable sleeves and tape systems [5]. 

Conditions to be met in oven drying enamels depend also on the composition of the binder. Paint systems containing melamine-formaldehyde or urea-formaldehyde resins, for instance, harden by polycondensation with other resins, such as epoxy resins, short-oil alkyd or acrylic resins at elevated temperatures. Baking is carried out at temperatures between 100 and almost 200°C and may last from a few minutes to more than an horn. A general trend towards energy conservation has shifted public attention towards binders which require low baking temperatures. 

Both aqueous polymer-based systems (latex), made by emulsion or dispersion polymerization, and oil-modified alkyd resin-based systems are still in wide use [781], Table 12.2 shows the composition of a typical water-based emulsion paint. There is a wide variety of coatings, ranging from broad applicability to highly specialized, including latexes, amino resins, isocyanates, epoxy resins, acrylic resins, polyester...

There are numerous types of paint employed in the protection of steel and they are designed to meet the conditions imposed by the environment in which they are expected to function. For steel exposed to the atmosphere, the most common type of paint system is based on alkyl resin and this may be mixed with other types or may itself be chemically modified for a specific purpose, e.g. vinyl toluenated or styrenated to give rapid drying. Other generic types are chlorinated rubber, vinyl, acrylic, epoxy, and polyurethane. All have particular attributes and limitations and selection is usually a matter of discussion between user and supplier. 

Further work will be necessary to produce practical paints from the 2,6-divanillylidene cyclohexanone system, but as an example of the possibilities of the olefinic approach to cleavable epoxy resins, it has been reasonably successful. 

In 1987, UVEXS [145] claimed simultaneous cationic and free radical polymerization of a mixture of a cycloaliphatic epoxy resin, a hydroxy functional polyether terminated polysiloxane, an acrylate functional resin, a triarylsulfonium salt, and a free radical photoinitiator. A simultaneously cured cationically and free radically polymerized system consisting of an epoxy resin, a methacrylate monomer, an onium salt, a carbonyl type free radical photoinitiator, and tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol accelerator was patented by Cook Paint and Varnish [146] in 1987. 

One can rationalize a need for small rubber inclusions in some of the newer approaches to waterborne and high solids epoxy coating systems. Water-thinned epoxy coating compositions are described (48) where the two-component system consists of a nitrile rubber modified epoxy resin in the epoxide component and a styrene/ butadiene/methylmethacrylate latex modifier for an emulsion-based polyamide hardener component. Showing improved adhesion, impact and water resistance, the paint has good wetting characteristics and can be formulated to a high solids content at low viscosity. 

Combinations with Poly (Vinyl Butyrals). Poly(vinyl butyral) resins with a high acetal content are used, like epoxy resins, to plasticize resols. The weight ratio of resols to poly(vinyl butyral) is generally between 95 5 and 70 30. The employed application methods and curing conditions are similar to those used in the resol-epoxy resin systems. The resistance of such paint films to organic solvents, amines. 

Solvents used for paint removal are able to dissolve or considerably swell physically drying binders (e.g., vinyl chloride copolymers, cellulose nitrate, polyacrylates) and chemically cross-linked coatings (e.g., oil-based paints, dried alkyd resins, cross-linked polyester-melamine resins, cross-linked epoxy and isocyanate coatings) [14.237]. A combination of dichloromethane with low-boiling ketones or esters is particularly suitable. Small amounts of high-boiling solvents with a low volatility (e.g., tetrahydronaphthalene, solvent naphtha, methyl benzyl alcohol, or benzyl alcohol) are added to these mixtures to retard evaporation and increase the solvency. Modern paint removers do not contain chlorinated hydrocarbons, they are formulated on the basis of high boilers (e.g., dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, propylene carbonate, and yV-methylpyrrolidone) in combination with alcohols and aromatics, or consist of aqueous, frequently alkaline or acidic systems. 

Benzyl alcohol [100-51-6] is miscible with organic solvents apart from aliphatic hydrocarbons. It dissolves cellulose esters and ethers, fats, oils, alkyd resins, natural and synthetic resins, and colorants. Polymers—with the exception of lower poly(vinyl ethers) and poly(vinyl acetates)—are not dissolved. Small amounts of benzyl alcohol improve the flow and gloss paints, delay the evaporation of other solvent components, and have a plasticizing effect in physically drying paints. It is used in ballpoint pen inks. Benzyl alcohol reduces the viscosity in two-pack epoxy resin systems. 

N-Methylpyrrolidone [872-50-4] (NMP) has a fairly mild, amine-like odor, and is miscible with water and most organic solvents. It has a good solvency for cellulose ethers, butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymers, polyamides, polyacrylonitrile, waxes, polyacrylates, vinyl chloride copolymers, and epoxy resins. It is used in paint removers and stripping paints to reduce paint viscosity, and to improve the wettability of paint systems. A -Methylpyrrolidone is also employed for the extraction of hydrocarbons, and as a solvent in the synthesis of acetylene.

An epoxy resin-based on epichlorohydrin, bisphenol-A and cardanol was evaluated as a binder for a paint system and was found to offer better properties in terms of increase in tensile strength, elongation, bonding with steel and lowering of water vapour transmission than epoxy resin. In addition, iron oxide-based paints in epoxy-cardanol resin showed better performance than zinc phosphate-based paints." " ...
