Trenchless methods for structural renovation of drinking water pipelines include the pipe in pipe method, pipe bursting method, and polyethylene thin wall lining method. As described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,189,429, these methods are disadvantaged by their inability to deal with multiple bends in a pipeline and the fact that lateral connection pipes to customers' premises have to be disconnected and then reinstated after execution of the renovation process.
U.S. Pat. No. 7,189,429 describes a method of forming a coating on the internal surface of a drinking water pipeline, the method comprising the steps of: a) providing a liquid, two-part coating system; b) mixing together the first part and the second part to form a mixture, and c) applying the mixture as a coating to said surface so as to form, at high cure rate, a monolithic lining which exhibits high strength and flexibility. Preferably the two parts of the system are applied through heated airless spray equipment. Such equipment may, for example, include a centrifugal spinning head or a self-mixing spray gun assembly.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,730,353 describes a coating for drinking water pipelines. The two-part coating system comprises a first part comprising one or more aliphatic polyisocyanates, optionally blended with one or more amine reactive resins and/or non reactive resins, and a second part comprising one or more aromatic polyamines optionally blended with one or more oligomeric polyamines, such that the two parts, when mixed together and applied to the internal surfaces of pipelines, form a rapid setting impervious coating suitable for contact with drinking water.

Coating compositions suitable for coating internal surfaces of drinking water pipeline are typically prepared from one or more aliphatic polymeric polyisocyanate(s) that are substantially free of isocyanate monomer such as derivatives of hexamethylene diisocyanate. Two-part compositions described herein are believed to comply with the requirements of NSF/ANSI Standard 61-2008.
The present invention provides a two-part coating system that can be applied to internal pipeline surfaces so as to form, at a high cure rate, an impervious lining suitable for contact with drinking water. By virtue of its rapid setting characteristics and insensitivity to moisture, the system of the present invention is particularly useful as an “in-situ” applied lining for refurbishment of existing drinking water pipelines.
The first part of the two-part coating composition generally comprises at least one polyisocyanate and the second part comprises at least one polyamine. After application and curing, the coating composition comprises the reaction product of such first and second components. The reacted coating comprises urea groups (—NR—C(O)—NR—). Polymers containing urea groups are often referred to as polyureas. When the two-part coating composition comprises other isocyanate reactive or amine reactive components, the reacted coating may comprise other groups as well.

The three component mixture may comprise at least one trimer, such as “Desmodur N 3600” and at least one aliphatic prepolymer resin comprising ether groups, such as “Desmodur XP 2599”.
In some embodiments, the first part is substantially free of other “amine reactive resin(s)” i.e. a resin containing functional groups capable of reacting with primary or secondary amines. For example, the first part is typically free of aromatic amine reactive resins. The first part may also be free of epoxy functional compounds and compounds containing unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds capable of undergoing “Michael Addition” with polyamines, (e.g. monomeric or oligomeric polyacrylates). The first part may optionally comprise non-reactive resins or the composition may be free of non-reactive resins.
The second part of the two part coating comprises one or more polyamines. As used herein, polyamine refers to compounds having at least two amine groups, each containing at least one active hydrogen (N—H group) selected from primary amine or secondary amine. In some embodiments, the second component comprises or consists solely of one or more secondary amines.
In a preferred coating composition, as described herein the amine component comprises at least one aliphatic cyclic secondary diamine. Unlike aspartic acid ester, the secondary amine substituents lack ester groups.
In one embodiment, the second part comprises one or more aliphatic cyclic secondary diamines that comprise two, optionally substituted, hexyl groups bonded by a bridging group. Each of the hexyl rings comprise a secondary amine substituent.
The aliphatic cyclic secondary diamine typically has the general structure:
wherein R1 and R2 are independently linear or branched alkyl groups, having 1 to 10 carbon atoms. R1 and R2 are typically the same alkyl group. Representative alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, secondary butyl, tertiary butyl, and the various isomeric pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, and decyl groups. The symbol “S” in the center of the hexyl rings indicates that these cyclic groups are saturated. The preferred R1 and R2 contain at least three carbons, and the butyl group is particularly favored, such as a sec-butyl group.
R3, R4, R5 and R6 are independently hydrogen or a linear or branched alkyl group containing 1 to 5 carbon atoms. R3, and R4 typically the same alkyl group. In some embodiments, R5 and R6 are hydrogen. Further. Is some embodiments, R3, and R4 are methyl or hydrogen.
The substituents are represented such that the alkylamino group may be placed anywhere on the ring relative to the CR5R6 group. Further, the R3 and R4 substituents may occupy any position relative to the alkylamino groups. In some embodiments, the alkylamino groups are at the 4,4′-positions relative to the CR5R6 bridge. Further, the R3 and R4 substituents typically occupy the 3- and 3′-positions.
Commercially available aliphatic cyclic secondary diamines having this structure include:
In another embodiment, the second part comprises one or more aliphatic cyclic secondary diamines that comprise a single hexyl ring. The aliphatic cyclic secondary diamine typically has the general structure:
wherein R7 and R8 are independently linear or branched alkyl groups, having 1 to 10 carbon atoms or an alkylene group terminating with a —CN group. R7 and R8 are typically the same group. Representative alkyl groups include the same as those described above for R1 and R2. In one embodiment, R7 and R8 are alkyl groups having at least three carbons, such as isopropyl. In another embodiments, R7 and R8 are short chain (e.g. C1-C4) alkylene groups, such as ethylene, terminating with a —CN group.
R9, R10 and R11 are independently hydrogen or a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms. R9, R10 and R11 are typically the same alkyl group. In some embodiments, R9, R10 and R11 are methyl or hydrogen. In one embodiment R9, R10 and R11 are methyl groups.
The substituents are represented such that the alkylamino group may be placed anywhere on the ring relative to the —NR8 group. In some embodiments, the alkylamino group is 2 or 3 positions away from the —NR8. The preferred alkylamine group is two positions away from the —NR8 group on the cyclohexyl ring.
In some embodiments, the aliphatic cyclic secondary diamine is prepared by the reaction product of (1 equivalent of) isophorone diamine and (2 equivalents of) a Michael acceptor group that reduces the nucleophilicity of the resulting secondary amine groups. Representative Michael acceptors include acrylonitrile and α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, with acrylonitrile typically preferred. In some embodiments, the alkylene group between the terminal —CN group and the amine group has at least two carbon atoms.
Commercially available aliphatic cyclic secondary diamines having this structure include:
In some embodiments, one or more aliphatic cyclic secondary diamine(s) are the sole isocyanate-reactive component(s). The isocyanate-reactive component of the second part may include a single species according to Formula 1, a single species according to Formula 2, a combination of a species of Formula 1 with Formula 2, a well as various other combinations. Hence, the composition is free of other isocyanate-reactive components, such as hydroxyl-functional components. The second part typically comprises at least 20 wt-% or 25 wt-% of aliphatic cyclic secondary diamine with the remainder of the second part comprising a major amount of filler and a minor amount of optional additives, such as pigments. In some embodiments, the second part may comprise no greater than 30 wt-%, 35 wt-%, 40 wt-% or 45 wt-% of aliphatic cyclic secondary diamine.
When the second part comprises solely of one or more aliphatic cyclic secondary diamines the first part is free of aromatic amine reactive resins. Since the first part is also typically free of aromatic components, the entire composition (i.e. first and second part) is free of aromatic components.
In other embodiments, the aliphatic cyclic secondary diamine is combined with one or more secondary aliphatic polyamine (including other cycloaliphatic polyamines) having a different structure than Formulas 1 and 2. The other secondary aliphatic polyamine may include aspartic acid esters, such as described in WO 2010/120617. Further, the other secondary aliphatic polyamine may include an acyclic aliphatic linear or branched polyamines (i.e. that lacks a cyclic group).
In this embodiment, the second part may comprise up to about 75 wt-% of such other secondary aliphatic polyamines.
Commercially available aliphatic acyclic secondary diamines include the following:
In favored embodiments, the other aliphatic secondary diamine components are utilized at a lower concentration as to not detract from the beneficial properties provided by the aliphatic cyclic secondary diamine (e.g. of Formula 1 and/or 2). Hence, when present the concentration is typically no greater than 40 wt-% or 30 wt-% of the first part.
When present the optional other amine components are chosen to dissolve in the liquid aliphatic cyclic secondary diamine (e.g. of Formula 1 and/or 2).
The first and/or second part typically comprises a filler. A filler is a solid, insoluble material often employed to add bulk volume or to extend the pigments capabilities without impairing the reactive chemistry of the coating mixture. Unlike pigments that have desirable optical properties and are often relatively expensive, fillers typically do not possess such optical properties and are generally less expensive than pigments. Many fillers are natural inorganic minerals such as talc, clay, calcium carbonate, kaolin, whiting, and silica. Other exemplary fillers includes ceramic microspheres, hollow polymeric microspheres such as those available from Akzo Nobel, Duluth, GA under the trade designation “Expancel 551 DE”), and hollow glass microspheres (such as those commercially available from 3M Company, St. Paul, Minn. under the trade designation “K37”. Hollow glass microspheres are particularly advantageous because they demonstrate excellent thermal stability and a minimal impact on dispersion viscosity and density.
In some embodiments, a filler, such as calcium magnesium carbonate or calcium carbonate, is employed in the first part at a concentration of at least 5 wt-%, or 10 wt-%, 15 wt-%, or 20 wt-% to about 40 wt-%. In some embodiments, both the first and second part comprise filler. The second part may comprise filler at an even higher concentration than the first part. The filler concentration of the second part may ranges from about 50 wt-% to about 70 wt-%.
Other filler may be more or less dense than calcium carbonate. Overall the total composition typically comprises at least about 5%, 10% or 15% to about 45% by volume inorganic particulate filler.
The first and/or second part may comprise various additives as are known in the art, provided the inclusion of such is permitted with the requirements of the NSF/ANSI Standard. For example, pigments, dispersing and grinding aids, water scavengers, thixotropes, defoamers, etc. can be added to improve the manufacturability, the properties during application and/or the shelf life.
The stoichiometry of the polyurea reaction is based on a ratio of equivalents of isocyanate (e.g. modified isocyanate and excess isocyanate) of the first component to equivalents of amine of the second component. The first and second components are reacted at a stoichimetric ratio of at least about 1:1. Preferably, the isocyanate is employed in slight excess, such that the first part is combined with the second part at a ratio of 1.25 to 1.35 equivalents isocyanate to amine. The first part is generally combined with the second part at a volume ration of about 1:1.
The first and second parts are preferably each liquids at temperatures ranging from 5° C. to 25° C. In view of the confined spaces within the pipeline and the resultant lack of suitable outlet for vapor, both the first part and the second part are substantially free of any volatile solvent. That is to say, solidification of the system applied to the pipeline interior is not necessitated by drying or evaporation of solvent from either part of the system. To further lower the viscosity, one or both parts can be heated. Further, the coating composition has a useful shelf life of at least 6 months, more preferably, at least one year, and most preferably, at least two years.
Although a wide range of formulations are possible, such as exemplified in the forthcoming examples, the coating compositions described herein are particularly suitable for water distribution pipes, typically having a diameter ≧3 inches (7.6 cm) up to about 36 inches (91 cm), it is generally desired that the cured coating has sufficient toughness (i.e. flexural strength) and ductility (i.e. flexibility as characterized by elongation at break) to remain continuous in the event of a subsequent circumferential fracture of a partially deteriorated (e.g. cast iron) pipe such that the cured coating continues to provide a water impervious barrier between the flowing water and internal surfaces of the pipe. The following table describes typical and preferred properties of cured coating compositions for water distribution pipes as determined by the test methods described in the examples.
The coating compositions described herein advantageous provide these desired properties while complying with NSF/ANSI Standard 61-2008 (i.e. the standard for the United States) and are also believed to comply with Regulation 31 of the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations (i.e. the standard for the United Kingdom).
The coating composition is typically applied directly to the internal surfaces of a pipe without a primer layer applied to the surface. This can be done using various spray coating techniques. Typically, the amine component and the isocyanate component are applied using a spraying apparatus that allows the components to combine immediately prior to exiting the apparatus. In carrying out the method of the invention, the first and second parts of the system are fed independently, e.g. by flexible hoses, to a spraying apparatus capable of being propelled through an existing pipeline to be renovated. For example, a remote controlled vehicle, such as described in US 2006/0112996, may enter the pipeline to convey the spraying apparatus through the pipeline. The apparatus preferably heats the two parts of the system prior to application to the pipeline interior and mixes the two parts immediately before applying the mixture to the interior surface of the pipeline. The mixture of the two parts cures on the interior surface of the pipeline to form a (e.g. monolithic) water impervious lining. Such linings may be formed when the pipeline is initially laid, or after a period of use when the pipeline itself begins to deteriorate. Notably, the composition described herein can be applied at a caliper of at least 5 mm in a single pass forming a cured continuous lining.
A variety of spray systems may be employed as described in the art. In some embodiments, a heated airless spray apparatus, such as a centrifugal spinning head is employed. An airless, impingement mixing spray system generally includes the following components: a proportioning section which meters the two components and increases the pressure to above about 1500 psi (10.34 MPa); a heating section to raise the temperatures of the two components (preferably, independently) to control viscosity; and an impingement spray gun which combines the two components and allows mixing just prior to atomization. In other embodiments, a heated air vortex spray apparatus can be used to apply the coating.
In some embodiments and in particular when the liquid mixture is applied by spraying, the first and second part typically each have a (Brookfield) viscosity ranging from about 5,000 centipoise to about 60,000 cps, using spindle 6 at the temperature at which the liquid mixture is applied. The temperature at which the liquid mixture is applied typically ranges from about 15° C. to 50° C.
Viscosity behavior of the each of the two components is important for two part spray-coating processes. With impingement mixing, the two parts should be as close as possible in viscosity at high shear rates to allow adequate mixing and even cure. The plural component static mix/spray system appears to be more forgiving of viscosity differences between the two components. Characterization of viscosities as functions of shear rate and temperature can help with decisions as to starting point for temperatures and pressures of the coatings in the two part spray equipment lines.
Advantages and embodiments of this disclosure are further illustrated by the following examples, but the particular materials and amounts thereof recited in these examples, as well as other conditions and details, should not be construed to unduly limit this invention. In these examples, all percentages, proportions and ratios are by weight unless otherwise indicated.
These abbreviations are used in the following examples: s=seconds, min=minute, ppb=part per billion, hr=hour, L=liter, mL=milliliter; wt=weight, gpm=gallons per minute, V=volts, cP=centipoise, MPa=megapascals, RPM=revolutions per minute, HP=horsepower.
Resin formulations were blended using a 3 HP, high speed dispersion Ross Mixer (Charles Ross and Son Company, St. Charles, Ill.) with a vacuum attachment. Formulation components were charged into a mixing vessel equipped with a Cowles mixing blade at 900 RPM over the course of 5 min. Then vacuum was applied to the mixing vessel and mixing continued for an additional 5 min at 1000 RPM.
The general process for producing a sample part for testing involved a) loading a two-part cartridge with Part A and Part B chemistries; b) heating the cartridge to 35-40° C.; c) dispensing the cartridge using a pneumatic cartridge dispenser or mechanically driven cartridge dispensing system through a ⅜″, 64 element static mixer made of commercially available static mixer elements such as those found in Brandywine Materials, LLC Burlington, MA Statomix MC 10-32; and d) dispensing the blended resin from the static mixer into a closed mold, open faced mold, or into a spinning cone where it was centrifugally applied to the interior of a pipe. When the blended resin is applied into a spinning cone, the spinning cone is placed onto a translational stage that moves within a pipe interior at a fixed speed. The volumetric flow rate of the applied resin is determined to coincide with the translational speed of the spinning cone relative to the interior of the pipe, thus it is possible to achieve a determined coating thickness. Post-lining coating measurements can be taken by using a caliper gauge such as a Mitutoyo Absolute IP 67 available from Mitutoya Corp., Japan.
