INTRODUCTION

Polyurethane coatings are known for their durability and overall good balance of mechanical properties. These include long-term weathering, flexibility, and resistance to chemicals, abrasions, scratching, chipping, and stress. Consequently, polyurethane coatings are used in such demanding markets (1) as automotive, transportation, maintenance, and aerospace.

 D 16 as Type V systems. (2) These are two-component, solventborne, polyol polyisocyanate systems. For exterior applications, the triisocyanurate of 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (1,6-HDI) is normally used as the crosslinker. Acrylics are known for their excellent outdoor durability, but they do not have a good balance of mechanical properties. Polyester polyols offer an excellent balance of mechanical properties, but they do not weather as well as acrylics. To improve outdoor durability, UVA (ultraviolet absorber) and HALS (hindered amine light stabilizer) additives are commonly employed. (3)

Polyester polyols containing isophthalic acid (PIA) weather extremely well (4) and have good stain, chemical, humidity, and corrosion resistance relative to aliphatic diacids. However, they have poor flexibility. Usually, a combination of a flexible diacid, such as adipic acid (AD), and PIA are needed to achieve a balance of flexibility and hardness in the coating. While improving flexibility, AD has an adverse effect on the beneficial properties of PIA, particularly weathering. (4)

In addition, it allows the close packing of resin chains to impart hardness like an aromatic diacid. Consequently, CHDA offers a balance of properties not obtained from aromatic diacids, linear aliphatic diacids, or a combination of the two. These properties (5) include:

EXPERIMENTAL

Design

The factors selected for evaluation included: (1) level of CHDA in the diacid segment of a model polyester polyol, (2) effect of coating crosslink density on performance of a 1/1 molar CHDA/PIA polyol, and (3) polyester performance relative to commercially available acrylic controls. The effect of UVA and HALS additives on coating performance was evaluated within each group.

The model polyester polyols consisted of neopentyl glycol glycol (glī`kōl), dihydric alcohol in which the two hydroxyl groups are bonded to different carbon atoms; the general formula for a glycol is (CH2)n(OH)2.  (NPG NPG Nature Publishing Group (Macmillan Publishers, Ltd)

The effect of coating crosslink density on the performance of polyols containing a constant 1/1 molar ratio of CHDA/PIA in the diacid segment was evaluated. The hydroxyl equivalent weight (OH EW = 343 and 229) of the polyol composition was varied by adjusting the molecular weight and functionality of the resins. The design parameters for the polyester polyols are listed in Table 1.

Because acrylic polyols are known for their exterior durability, two commercially available acrylic controls were selected for comparison to the polyesters. They included Joncryl 906 (Johnson Polymer) and Macrynal SM 515 (Cytec Surface Specialties). The Joncryl acrylic polyol is marketed for high performance maintenance and transportation coatings.

Some coatings for exterior applications do not require the use of stabilizers, while others do. Thus, coating performance was evaluated without and with a UVA/HALS stabilizer package. The stabilizer package consisted of 2 wt% Tinuvin 1130 and 1 wt% Tinuvin 292 based on binder binder: see combine.

 response. Again, the coatings have been divided into three groups based on the factor being studied. Figures 2-6 show the effect of varying the diacid composition while keeping the hydroxyl equivalent weight of the polyester constant. Figure 7 shows the effect of coating crosslink density on the 1/1 molar CHDA/PIA polyol. Weathering of the acrylic controls is presented in Figure 8. Unstabilized and stabilized coating performance is shown within each group. Finally, select coatings from each group are consolidated onto one graph for a head-to-head comparison in Figure 9.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Diacid Comparison

The crosslink density of the coatings was held constant by keeping the molecular weight and functionality of the polyester polyols constant (hydroxyl equivalent weight of 229). Differences observed between the coatings can then be attributed to the substituted diacid.

Table 4 shows that CHDA reduces coating viscosity, but not quite as much as AD. As PIA is replaced with more modifying diacid, the coating [T.sub.g] is lowered. However, CHDA does not lower the coating [T.sub.g] as much as AD. At 50 mole % replacement of PIA, CHDA lowers the [T.sub.g] by only 4[degrees]C relative to 19[degrees]C for AD. A combination of PIA and CHDA provides slightly better gloss than PIA and AD. Acid resistance is lowered as PIA is replaced with either modifying diacid. However, CHDA provides better acid resistance than AD.

Table 5 shows that all of the coatings exhibited good hardness with little to no variation in pencil hardness or KPH. In impact testing, CHDA behaves like AD to greatly improve flexibility, whereas PIA alone is very brittle (jargon) brittle - Said of software that is functional but easily broken by changes in operating environment or configuration, or by any minor tweak to the software itself. Also, any system that responds inappropriately and disastrously to abnormal but expected external stimuli; e. .

Addition of the UVA/HALS stabilizer package affects coating viscosity, impact resistance, and acid resistance. Stabilized coatings containing CHDA were lower in viscosity than the unstabilized ones. But the PIA coating and those containing AD increased in viscosity. Stabilized coatings had better impact resistance than their unstabilized counterparts. Although acid resistance was slightly lower in the stabilized coatings, hardness and gloss remained the same. Results indicate the UVA/HALS stabilizers soften or plasticize plas·ti·cize

Figures 2-4 show the outdoor durability of the CHDA/PIA polyols relative to the all PIA control. Replacing PIA with any level of CHDA reduces the outdoor durability of the polyol in unstabilized coatings. Their gloss retention is dramatically improved with the addition of the UVA/HALS stabilizers. A one-third to one-half replacement of PIA with CHDA provides gloss retention similar to the all PIA polyol in stabilized coatings (Figure 5).

The AD/PIA controls showed similar results in the unstabilized coatings. Replacing PIA in the polyol with AD lowered the gloss retention of the unstabilized coatings similar to those shown for CHDA. Therefore, their results are not included. Figure 6 compares the gloss retention of the 1/1 and 1/2 CHDA/PIA polyols to that of the AD/PIA controls in stabilized coatings. Polyols containing CHDA weathered better than those containing AD, especially at 50% substitution of the PIA.

In summary, CHDA lowers the viscosity of the PIA polyol similar to AD. It also provides a good balance of mechanical properties that cannot be attained by PIA alone. In addition, outdoor durability in stabilized coatings is maintained up to a 50 mole % replacement of PIA relative to AD.

Effect of Crosslink Density

Changes in crosslink density can impact the mechanical properties and outdoor durability of a coating. The 1/1 CHDA/PIA polyol was evaluated at 800 and 1200 number average molecular weight and functionality of 3.5 (hydroxyl equivalent weight of 229 and 343, respectively) to observe the effect of crosslink density on the coating.

[FIGURE 5 OMITTED]

[FIGURE 6 OMITTED]

[FIGURE 7 OMITTED]

[FIGURE 8 OMITTED]

Table 4 shows that coating viscosity was lower for the higher equivalent weight polyol. This may be due to the higher hydroxyl number of the lower equivalent weight polyol (229) contributing to more hydrogen bonding hydrogen bonding

. As expected, the coating [T.sub.g] was higher for the lower equivalent weight polyol (higher crosslink density coating). Gloss was not affected by varying the polyol equivalent weight. The acid resistance improved as the equivalent weight increased, or with more polyol between crosslink sites.

Surprisingly, the impact resistance decreased as the polyol equivalent weight increased (Table 5). The impact resistance may be influenced by the higher level of flexible isocyanate i·so·cy·a·nate

 crosslinker in the coating at higher hydroxyl number. Hardness was similar for each.

[FIGURE 9 OMITTED]

Again, results indicate the stabilizers soften or plasticize the films as shown by the lower acid resistance and increased impact resistance of the stabilized coatings.

Figure 7 shows the effect of crosslink density and the stabilizers on the gloss retention of these coatings. Weathering of the unstabilized coatings is similar regardless of crosslink density. However, the stabilizers greatly improve weathering and differentiate the two polyols. Of significance is that the stabilized coating with the lowest crosslink density (highest equivalent weight polyol) retained better than 50% of its gloss after 42 months exposure.

In summary, the equivalent weight of the 1/1 CHDA/PIA polyol could be manipulated to change the mechanical properties and outdoor durability of the stabilized coatings.

Polyester Versus Acrylic

The polyester polyols had similar or better mechanical properties than either acrylic control (Tables 4 and 5). The coating viscosity of the Macrynal SM 515 was lower than any of the polyester coatings. The Joncryl 906 acrylic imparted the lowest cured film [T.sub.g] of all the polyols in the experiment. Gloss and acid resistance was similar for both, but the polyesters had a much better hardness/flexibility balance compared to the acrylics.

The stabilized coatings made from the acrylic controls were lower in viscosity and exhibited improved KPH relative to their unstabilized counterparts. Their impact resistance was not improved as was observed for the polyesters.

Gloss retention of the commercial acrylic polyols is presented in Figure 8. In the unstabilized coatings, the Macrynal SM 515 weathered slightly better than the Joncryl 906 over the first 18 months. Addition of the stabilizers equalized their rate of gloss loss.

For each polyol in the experiment, the outdoor durability of the stabilized coating was better than its unstabilized counterpart. Stabilizers clearly improve the gloss retention of each coating. The Florida weathering results for select stabilized coatings are presented in Figure 9 for comparison. The 1/1 AD/PIA polyol weathered worse than the acrylic controls. The PIA polyol and those containing 1/1 CHDA/PIA outperformed the acrylic controls. It is interesting that the 1/1 CHDA/PIA polyol with an equivalent weight of 343 out-weathered all of the polyols in the experiment.

In summary, PIA imparts excellent outdoor durability to polyester polyols for polyurethane coatings. But like an acrylic, it lacks a balance of hardness and flexibility. A 1/1 molar CHDA/PIA polyol gives a good balance of mechanical properties and outdoor durability over commercially available acrylic polyols.

Color Stability and Appearance

In addition to gloss, color measurements were made over the course of outdoor exposure. All of the coatings exhibited excellent color retention since none exceeded a 1 [DELTA]E unit color shift. Although gloss decreased, there was very little rust and very little dirt pick-up upon inspection of the coatings after Florida exposure.

CONCLUSIONS

In polyester polyols for polyurethane coatings, CHDA strikes a balance in mechanical properties and outdoor durability. The balance may be attributed to its unique cycloaliphatic structure and 1,4-substitution.

Results showed that replacing 33-50 mole % of PIA with CHDA in the polyol improves coating flexibility, and maintains coating [T.sub.g] while providing a better hardness/flexibility balance and acid resistance than AD.

A UVA/HALS stabilizer package benefited all of the polyols--both polyesters and acrylics--evaluated. Stabilizers greatly improved the weathering of polyols containing CHDA and are essential for long-term durability. In stabilized coatings, CHDA provides an excellent balance of good weathering and physical properties not achieved by PIA alone or PIA in combination with AD. Polyols modified with CHDA can be made that weather as well as or better than some acrylics.

Changing the crosslink density of a stabilized coating containing 1/1 molar CHDA/PIA resulted in better than 50% 20[degrees] gloss retention after three and a half years of Florida weathering. The results suggest that the CHDA/PIA ratio and crosslink density may be further optimized to maximize weatherability.

Consequently, there may be opportunity to improve the mechanical properties of acrylic polyols with CHDA-polyester blends without compromising outdoor durability.
