Coating composition based on water redispersible powders comprising water-soluble polymer and organosilicon compound

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to coating compositions for mineral substrates, based on water-redispersible powders comprising water-soluble polymer and organosilicon compounds.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Silicone resin coating systems, especially pigmented thin and thick coating systems, are known as silicone resin (emulsion) paints and silicone resin plasters, and are suitable for the coating of mineral substrates of construction materials such as plaster, concrete, fiber cement, and natural stone. As binders for such silicone resin systems, silicone resins are employed as silicone resin emulsions. Reference may be made to DE 37 13 126 A (Wacker-Chemie GmbH; published on Nov. 3, 1988) and the corresponding U.S. Pat. No. 4,833,187.
In the technical field, silicone resin paints are often defined as follows:
a) water-dilutable silicone resin paints comprise as binders predominantly silicone resins;
b) the customary fillers and auxiliaries which are established in the field of exterior emulsion paints and mineral paints, and also pigments, are used;
c) the total binder content should be chosen so as to meet the required properties: water repellency, water vapor permeability, etc.
In the European standard, masonry paints are subdivided in accordance with their composition, their appearance and their physical properties. The coating material is named after the binder content whose essential features it bears. For silicone resin paint, the binder is silicone resin. The physical properties listed include water vapor permeability and water permeability. The silicone resin paint is given a high classification in terms of the water vapor permeability and a low classification in terms of the water permeability. These properties of high water vapor permeability but low water permeability in the silicone resin paints, and their long life time, can be attributed to the silicone resin binder.
Water-redispersible powders comprising organosilicon compounds, and processes for their preparation, are known. Thus, for example, EP 228 657 B (Wacker-Chemie GmbH; published on Mar. 16, 1994) or the corresponding U.S. Pat. No. 4,704,416 describes water-redispersible powders comprising a water-soluble polymer and at least one organosilicon compound, which are obtained by spray-drying aqueous mixtures. Powders of this kind are used as additives to plasters, hydraulic binders, clay or paints, in a form diluted with water for rendering bulk goods hydrophobic, and as binders for finely divided inorganic or organic materials. Reference may be made to EP-B 279 373 (Wacker-Chemie GmbH; published on Apr. 28, 1993) and DE 37 04 439 A (Wacker-Chemie GmbH; published on Aug. 25, 1988) or the corresponding U.S. Pat. No. 4,851,047.

No. 5,225,478, and the water-soluble copolymers described in DE 40 21 216 A1 (BASF AG; published on Jan. 9, 1992) or the corresponding U.S. Pat. No. 5,342,897.
The water-soluble polymers employed in accordance with the invention are customary commercial products or can be prepared by methods which are familiar in organic chemistry.
The powders employed in accordance with the invention may comprise one or at least two different kinds of water-soluble polymer.
Water-soluble polymer is used in quantities of from 5% to 40% by weight, preferably 5% to 25% by weight, more preferably from 7% to 15% by weight, based on the overall weight of the organosilicon compounds employed in preparing the respective powder.
The powders employed in accordance with the invention can be prepared by the processes which are known to date. Reference may be made to DE 41 31 939 A1 (Wacker-Chemie GmbH; published on Apr. 1, 1993) and the initially cited disclosures EP 228 657 B and DE 37 04 400 A.
The preparation of the powders employed in accordance with the invention is carried out by the drying, for example thin-film drying, roller drying, freeze-drying and spray-drying, with preference being given to thin-film drying, roller drying and spray-drying and more preferably to spray-drying, of emulsions or suspensions of the organosilicon compounds in water.
In addition to water-soluble polymer, low molecular weight organosilicon compound and organopolysiloxane resin, the powders employed in accordance with the invention can optionally comprise further substances, or further substances can be included in the spraying operation involved in their preparation.
Examples of optional substances are water-miscible solvents, such as diacetone alcohol, water-immiscible solvents, such as toluene and mixtures of xylene isomers, ionic and nonionic emulsifiers other than water-soluble polymers, such as sodium lauryl sulfate, fungicides, antifoams, dyes, pigments and fillers having a surface area of less than 50 m.sup.2 /g, such as powdered chalk, calcium carbonate and ground quartz.
If further substances are used in preparing the powders used in accordance with the invention, the quantities involved are from 0.1% to 60% by weight, preferably from 0.1% to 50% by weight, based on the overall weight of the organosilicon compounds employed in preparing the respective powder.
In the mixtures to be sprayed, the quantity of water is from 45% to 95% by weight, preferably from 60% to 85% by weight, based on the overall weight of the mixture to be sprayed.
Spray-drying can be carried out in any apparatus suitable for the spray-drying of liquids, for example apparatus having at least one high-spin atomizer nozzle or having a rotating-disk atomizer, in a heated dry-gas stream, for instance air or nitrogen. Where the mixtures to be sprayed comprise organic solvents such as toluene or xylene, spray-drying is carried out using nitrogen as the dry gas stream.
The entry temperature of the dry gas stream is from 80.degree. to 250.degree. C., preferably from 110.degree. to 190.degree. C., and the exit temperature of the gas stream which is formed in the course of drying is from 40.degree. to 100.degree. C., preferably from 50.degree. to 90.degree. C.
Separately from the mixture which is passed to the spray-drying operation, antiblocking (anticaking) agents can be introduced into the apparatus in which spray-drying takes place. However, the powder can also have antiblocking (anticaking) agents added to it. If antiblocking agents are used, preferred quantities of such blocking agents are from 1% to 20% by weight, based on the overall weight of the organosilicon compounds used. The antiblocking agents are inorganic solids having average particle sizes of from 0.01 to 50 .mu.m. They can comprise aluminum silicates, colloidal silica gel, pyrogenic silica, ground clays, light spar, talc, cements, powdered chalk or diatomaceous earth.
The coating compositions according to the invention comprise water-redispersible powders of the composition described, based on water-soluble polymer, low-molecular weight organosilicon compounds and high-molecular weight polyorganosiloxane resins, in quantities of from 1% to 60% by weight, preferably from 1% to 40% by weight and, more preferably from 2% to 30% by weight, based on the overall weight of the coating composition.
The other components of the coating compositions according to the invention can be the same as in the coating compositions known for mineral substrates. These are pigments, fillers, for example calcium carbonate, talc, quartz, aluminum silicates and polymer fibers, thickeners, such as cellulose, dispersants, fungicides, preservatives, film-forming auxiliaries, antifoams, wetting agents and additional binders based on organic polymers, such as acrylate dispersions.
The coating compositions according to the invention are prepared by mixing the individual components, the redispersible powders being added directly to the remaining components of the coating composition. It is also possible, however, to redisperse the powders in water and then to mix them in this form with the other components.
The coating compositions according to the invention can then be applied to all substrates on which the coating systems known to date have been applied. The coating compositions according to the invention are suitable for mineral substrates, metal, wood and plastic.
The substrates are mineral substrates, for example, concrete, natural stone, plasters, lime-sandstone, gypsum and fiber cement, especially concrete, natural stone, plasters and fiber cement.
The application of the coating compositions according to the invention to the respective substrates can be carried out by any desired method such as by brushing, rolling, spraying and dipping, with brushing and rolling being preferred.
The coating composition according to the invention is applied to the respective substrate at a temperature of from 5.degree. to 50.degree. C. under the pressure of the surrounding atmosphere and allowed to dry under the same conditions.
The coating compositions according to the invention have the advantage that they can be prepared in a simple manner and, especially in comparison with silicate paints and film-forming emulsion paints, can be employed universally, i.e. for all mineral substrates.
The coating compositions according to the invention have the advantage that they render the surfaces treated therewith hydrophobic, i.e. repellent to liquid water such as rain water, while ensuring a high carbon dioxide and water vapor permeability of the coating.
The coating compositions according to the invention have the additional advantage that the coatings produced are distinguished by high resistance, especially weather resistance.
Furthermore, the coating compositions according to the invention have the advantage that they show little or no soiling tendency.
In the examples which follow, all parts and percentages are by weight unless stated otherwise. Where not stated otherwise, the examples below are carried out at the pressure of the surrounding atmosphere, at about 1000 hPa, and at room temperature, at about 20.degree. C. All viscosity figures given in the examples are intended to relate to a temperature of 25.degree. C.
The capillary water uptake (w.sub.24 value) is tested in accordance with DIN 52617 (Deutsche Industrie Norm �German Industrial Standard!). In this test, a lime-sandstone specimen (full brick KS DF) with the dimensions 11.5 cm.times.11.5 cm.times.2.5 cm and an apparent density of 2.0 g/cm.sup.3 is coated twice at an interval of 24 hours with the respective coating composition. The specimen is stored for 24 hours at room temperature, for 72 hours in a convection dryer at 50.degree. C. and for 48 hours at room temperature. The specimen is subjected to running water for 8 hours at a time over 3 days, the surface to be tested being stored on a grid and the depth of immersion of the specimen being 1 cm. The specimen is dried at 50.degree. C. for 72 hours in a convection dryer and then for 72 hours at room temperature, and is then weighed. The specimen is thereafter laid with the coated side on water-saturated flexible foam in a trough. The inherent weight of the specimen forces water out of the foam to such an extent that the brick is always in contact with water and is able to exert suction. The foam must be kept saturated with water throughout the test period. After sponge storage for 24 hours, the brick is taken out and weighed. The w.sub.24 value results, for an area of (11.5.times.11.5) cm.sup.2, from the following formula: ##EQU1##
The water vapor permeability (WVP, sd value) is determined in accordance with DIN 52615. In this test, a polyethylene frit is coated twice at an interval of 24 hours with the respective coating composition (wet film thickness: about 400 g/m.sup.2). It is stored for 14 days at 23.degree. C. and 50% relative atmospheric humidity. The coated frit is then applied in a vapor-tight manner to a polyethylene container with a volume of 500 ml which is filled with 200 g of saturated ammonium dihydrogen phosphate solution. From the initial weight and the weight decrease after storage for 24, 48 and 72 hours at 23.degree. C. and 50% relative humidity, the average weight decrease per 24 hours is calculated. The sd value which is characteristic for the water vapor permeability (WVP) is then given by the following formula: ##EQU2##
To determine the chalking, a piece of cardboard is coated with the respective coating composition (about 200 .mu.m wet film thickness). After storage for one week at room temperature, one drop of water is added to the coating. The drop of water is then spread over the coating by rubbing with the finger (20 times). The water is then allowed to run off the coated card, and the clouding of the water which has run off is assessed visually.
Assessment:
clear water denotes no chalking
slightly cloudy water denotes slight chalking
water of milky cloudiness denotes severe chalking
The abrasion resistance is tested in accordance with DIN 53778. In this test, the respective coating is applied using a film drawing device to a Leneta.RTM. film such that the dry film thickness resulting after storage for 28 days at 23.degree. C. and 50% relative atmospheric humidity is about 100 .mu.m. The dried coating is then subjected to wet abrasion with an abrading brush under defined conditions in an abrasion device (Gardner abrasion tester, model M 105-A). The parameter determined in this case is the number of abrasion cycles required for the substrate, i.e. the film, to have been exposed such that it is clearly visible.

Preparation of pastelike silicone resin paints

EXAMPLE 1
A pastelike silicone resin paint A is prepared by mixing the following starting materials in the sequence indicated using a laboratory dissolver:
359 parts of water,
1 1 part of pigment disperser (commercially available as "Pigmentverteiler A" from BASF AG, Ludwigshafen),
2 parts of fungicide (commercially available as "Parmetol DF 19" from Schuelke and Mayr, D-Norderstedt),
5 parts of cellulose thickener (commercially available as "Tylose H 6000 xp", Hoechst AG, Frankfurt),
120 parts of titanium dioxide,
275 parts of calcium carbonate,
60 parts of talc,
20 parts of silane powder I,
60 parts of resin powder II,
1 part of 25% strength aqueous ammonia solution and
95 parts of polymer dispersion (commercially available as "Acronal 290 D" from BASF AG, Ludwigshafen).
A pastelike silicone resin paint B is prepared similarly to silicone resin paint A but with the modification that, instead of 20 parts of silane powder I and 60 parts of resin powder II, 10 parts of silane powder I and 70 parts of resin powder II are employed.
The two silicone resin paints are investigated as to their capillary water uptake (w.sub.24 value), their water vapor permeability (WVP, sd value), their chalking behavior and their weathering behavior. The results are given in Table 1.

COMPARISON EXAMPLE 1
Pastelike silicone resin paints are prepared in accordance with the procedure in Example 1 but with the modification that, instead of 20 parts of silane powder I and 60 parts of resin powder II, in a
1st experiment 80 parts of silane powder I (silicone resin paint V1C) and in a
2nd experiment 80 parts of resin powder II (silicone resin paint V1D) are employed.
The silicone resin paints thus obtained are then investigated as in Example 1. The results are given in Table 2.

Comparison Example 1 shows that pure silane powders have a good hydrophobicizing action but a poor binding capacity. Although pure resin powders have a good binding capacity, they adversely affect the gas permeability.

EXAMPLE 4
A silicone resin powder paint G is prepared by intense mixing of the following starting materials in the sequence indicated:
150 parts of dispersion powder (commercially obtainable as "Vinnapas.RTM. Dispersionspulver RI 551 Z", Wacker-Chemie GmbH),
150 parts of silane/resin powder IV,
200 parts of titanium dioxide,
1 part of cellulose thickener (commercially obtainable as "Tylose H 6000 xp", Hoechst AG, Frankfurt),
25 parts of aluminum silicate,
5 parts of an emulsifier (commercially available as "Polyox WSR 250", Union-Carbide, Dusseldorf),
15 parts of hexanediol and
454 parts of calcium carbonate.
This mixture is then dispersed in 500 parts of water using a laboratory dissolver. The paint obtained is examined for its capillary water uptake and its abrasion resistance. The results are given in Table 4.

Preparation of a silicone resin plaster
EXAMPLE 5
A silicone resin plaster is prepared by intense mixing of the following starting materials in the sequence indicated:
129 parts of water,
25 parts of cellulose thickener (commercially available as "Tylose H 6000 xp", Hoechst AG, Frankfurt),
2 parts of fungicide (commercially available as "Parmetol DF 19" from Schuelke and Mayr, D-Norderstedt),
2 parts of dispersion auxiliary (commercially obtainable as Dispex N 40", Krahn-Chemie GmbH, Hamburg),
70 parts of polymer dispersion (commercially available as Acronal 290 D" from BASF AG, Ludwigshafen)
2 parts of film-forming agent (commercially available as "Texanol" from Krahn-Chemie GmbH, Hamburg),
33 parts of silane/resin powder III,
20 parts of titanium dioxide,
715 parts of calcium carbonate and
2 parts of 25% strength sodium hydroxide solution.
The silicone resin plaster thus obtained is then used to produce specimens (disks with a diameter of 9 cm and a thickness of 6 mm), and the water uptake is determined. For UV weathering, the plaster is applied to fiber cement panels. The water uptake of the plaster after 24 hours' water storage is 4% by weight. After Q-UV-B short-term weathering for 1,000 hours, the plaster is absolutely free from cracks, has not yellowed and shows an outstanding runoff effect with water.
