Description

REACTIVE FLOW AGENT FOR POWDER COATINGS
Field of the Invention The present invention relates to thermosetting powder coatings and to methods for coating substrates with the powder coating compositions. More particularly, the invention relates to the use of reactive flow agents in thermosetting powder coatings and to methods for coating~substrates with these powder coatings.
Hackground of the Invention Powder coating compositions are advantageous as they have very low volatile organic content and give off very little volatile material to the environment when cured.
In the preparation of powder coatings problems are often encountered in flow and leveling. Flow is the resistance to movement by a liquid material. Leveling is the measure of the ability of a coating to flow out after application so as to obliterate any surface irregularities such as orange peel, peaks or craters produced by the mechanical process of applying or coating, often when flow and leveling are improved, application characteristics such as sprayability, fluidization and impact fusion are affected detrimentally. The present invention is directed to improving flow and leveling without adversely affecting application characteristics.
Summary of the Invention The present invention relates to the use of a hydroxyl containing aliphatic or aromatic crystalline compound, having a melting point between 30°C
and 150°C as a flow control agent in conjunction with conventional flow control agents in thermoset powder coating compositions.
More specifically, the invention a thermosetteing powder coating composition a solid particulate mixture of:
a) a film-forming resinous binder including i) a copolymer selected from the group consisting of epoxy, polyester and acrylic copolymers having a reactive functionality selected from the group consisting of epoxy, carboxy and hydroxy functionalities and mixtures thereof and ii) a crosslinking agent capable of reacting with the reactive functionality on copolymer (I), said crosslinking agent ii) being selected from the group consisting of aminoplasts, blocked aliphatic and aromatic diisocyanates, acid anhydrides, dicyandiamide and its derivatives and mixtures thereof, b) a first flow control agent which is an aliphatic or aromatic hydroxyl containing crystalline compound having a melting point between 30°C and 150°C, and c) a second flow control agent different from the first flow control agent.
The powder coating composition may be a pigmented composition or clear coat powder composition and is pereferably applied over cured electrocoat. The coating composition includes a polymeric resin comprising a copolymer having a reactive functionality selected from the group consisting of epoxy, carboxy, and hydroxy functionalities and mixtures thereof, and a suitable crosslinking agent capable of reaction with the reactive functionality on the copolymer.
The present invention also provides a method of coating a metal substrate with the coating composition comprising the steps of a) electrodepositing a primer layer on the surface of the metal substrate and b) applying a thermosetting layer of the powder 1a _~~~ss7~
coating composition described above over the previously applied electrodeposited primer layer and c) curing both layers either simultaneously or curing the electrodeposited layer before application of the thermosetting layer and then curing the thermosetting layer.
The use of the aliphatic or aromatic crystalline compound described above, in combination with one or more additional flow agents in a powder coating composition reduces the viscosity of the overall system and aids in coalescing the film. The resulting cured film demonstrates a marked reduction in orange peel formation and consequently, improved film smoothness.
Detailed Description of the Invention The present invention is directed to the use of a hydroxyl containing aliphatic or aromatic crystalline compound having a melting point between 30°C and 150°C, as a flow control and leveling agent in conjunction with conventional flow control agents for use in thermoset powder coating compositions. Examples of suitable crystalline compounds include trimethylolpropane (TMP), neopentyl glycol, 2,5 dimethyl-2,5-hexanediol, 2,4,6-triphenylphenol, 2, 2' biphenol, 9-phenanthrol and p-cresol. The crystalline compound is used in amounts between 0.05 and 10.0 % by weight, based on the total coating composition weight, preferably in amounts between 0.5% and 5.0 % by weight based on total coating composition weight. The crystalline compound is useful in thermoset powder coatings including a copolymer having one or more reactive functionalities and a crosslinking agent capable of reacting with the reactive functionality on the copolymer.

Examples of aromatic-alkyl alcohols, include phenylcarbinol, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, monobutyl ether, monopropyl ether and the like. Other blocking agents are phenolic compounds such as phenol itself and substituted phenols where the substituents do not adversely affect the coating operations including cresol, nitrophenol, chlorophenol and t-butyl
4 .. -phenol. Also suitable are dibutyl amine and tertiary hydroxyl amines such as diethylethanolamine.
The blocked diisocyanate crosslinkers of the present invention are formed by reacting sufficient quantities of organic polyisocyanates, with sufficient quantities of blocking agent, at a sufficient temperature, for a sufficient amount of time, under reaction conditions conventional in the art, such that no free isocyanate groups are present when the reaction has run its course.
Generally, the blocked crosslinkers are available commercially. Preferred crosslinkers for purposes of the present invention include the blocked isocyanurate of isophorone diisocyanate, available as and the blocked isocyanurate of hexamethylene diisocyanate.
Where the functional radicals of the resin are carboxyl, the cross-linking agent may be selected from the group consisting of di-epoxy compounds, polyoxazolines and polydioxanes.
Where the functional radicals of the resin are glycidyi, examples of suitable crosslinking agents are polycarboxylic acids and their anhydrides such as phthalic acid, phthalic anhydride, trimellitic anhydride and pyromellitic anhydride; polyphenols such as catecol, resorcinol, hydroquinone, pyrogallol and fluoroglumine: and polyamines such as ethylenediamine, metaphenylenediamine, 4-4'-diaminodiphenylmethane, 4,4'-diamino-diphenyl sulfone and 4,4'-diamino-diphenyl ether.

The crosslinking agent is utilized in amounts between 10 and 90 % by weight, and preferably in amounts between 20 and 50 % by weight, based on total coating composition weight.
In addition to the polymeric resin and crosslinking agent, additives including pigments, fillers, thickeners, plasticizers, flow additives, hindered amine light stabilizers and ultraviolet light absorbers may also be added.
Pigments are utilized in amounts between 0 and 35 % by weight, based on total coating composition weight. Other additives comprise between 5 to 30 %, preferably 10 to 25 % by weight, based on total coating composition weight.
5 The thermosetting powder coating compositions can be prepared by melt blending the ingredients of the coating compositions.
This can be accomplished by first dry blending the ingredients in a planetary mixer and then melt blending the admixture in an extruder at a suitable temperature within the range of from 80° C
to 130° C. The extrudate is then cooled and pulverized into a particulate blend.
The thermosetting powder coating composition can then be applied directly to a substrate of, e.g., a metal such as steel or aluminum. Non-metallic substrates such as plastics and composites can also be used. Application can be by electrostatic spraying or by use of a fluidized bed. Electrostatic spraying is the preferred method. The coating powder can be applied in a single sweep or in several passes to provide a film thickness after cure of from 1.0 to 8 mils.
The substrate can optionally be preheated prior to application of a powder coating composition to promote uniform and thicker powder deposition.
A pigmented powder primer-surfacer composition can be applied directly upon bare metal, e.g., upon untreated, unprimed steel, or upon pretreated, i.e., phosphatized unprimed steel. The primer-surfacer coating compositions can also be applied upon phosphatized steel having a thin (1.0 to 2.0 mil) layer of an electrodeposited primer, cured or uncured before the application of the powder coating compositions. In the preferred embodiment, the primer-surfacer is applied over a cured electrodeposited primer coating upon the metal substrate. After application of the powder primer-surfacer, the panels were baked for between 20 and 90 minutes at between 162° and 191°C.
Alternatively, the powder coating composition can be applied directly upon an uncured electrodeposited primer coating and the powder coating layer can be co-cured by heating at temperatures between 149° C and 177° C. for from 10 minutes to 90 minutes.
A non-pigmented powder coating prepared according to the present invention can be applied over the coatings described above. Where desired, applications of basecoat and clearcoat are made and baked for between 25 and 45 minutes at temperatures between 121° and 135°C.
The powder coating compositions of this invention exhibit improved flow characteristics compared to conventional powder
6 coating compositions. In addition, the powder coating compositions of the invention have excellent stability and impact resistance.
After application and curing of the powder coating composition, at least one topcoat layer is applied over the coating layer. The topcoat can be, for example, a polyester-based coating cured with an aminoplast resin, an acrylic polymer-based coating cured with an aminoplast resin, a mixed resinous blend of an acrylic polymer and polyester containing coating cured with an aminoplast resin. The topcoat may be solvent-based, water-based or a powder coating. The topcoat layer may be a composite coating comprising a colored or pigmented basecoat over which is deposited a transparent or clear coat.
The invention is further illustrated by the following examples.
