Description
The present invention relates to coating compositions which, by virtue of containing certain compounds, are capable of inhibiting the corrosion of metallic substrates, especially ferrous metals. The compounds are aliphatic or cycloaliphatic carboxylic acids containing a heterocyclic radical.
Protection against corrosion is one of the most important duties of organic coating compositions for metal substrates. Many suggestions for improving the protection of coatings against corrosion are to be found in the literature, for example in H. Kittel, Lehrbuch der Lacke und Beschichtungen ("Textbook of Paints and Coatings"), volume V, Stuttgart 1977, 46-103. On the one hand, the barrier function of the coating composition can be improved, in order to keep corrosive agents, such as oxygen, water and ions, away from the metal surface. On the other hand, it is possible to employ corrosion-inhibiting pigments which intervene chemically or electrochemically in the corrosion process, for example by the formation of insoluble deposits with corrosion products or by passivation (polarisation) of the metal surface. Metal chromates and lead compounds rank amongst the most effective corrosion-inhibiting pigments. Much use has been made of metal chromates, particularly because they inhibit both anodic and cathodic corrosion. Nowadays there are certain objections to the use of chromates owing to their potential carcinogenic action. Similarly, there are objections to the use of lead compounds owing to their chronic toxicity.
Metal salts of organic compounds have also been frequently suggested as corrosion inhibitors. Thus, for example, European Patent Specification No. 3,817 recommends the use of zinc or lead salts of hydroxy or mercapto compounds of 5-membered or 6-membered heterocyclic compounds containing the characteristic group ##STR2## Typical examples of these are the Zn or Pb salts of 2-mercaptobenzthiazole.
It has now been found that certain heterocyclic carboxylic acids and salts thereof can be used as corrosion inhibitors for coating compositions, which makes it possible to formulate highly effective corrosion-inihibiting paints which are free from chromates and lead.
Organic corrosion inhibitors of this type are not pigments, and their use in coating compositions therefore permits a free choice of pigments or extenders. Organic corrosion inhibitors are known in the field of cooling water circulation systems or other aqueous systems, for example drilling and cutting fluids. Organic corrosion inhibitors are also used as additives for engine oils. In the field of coating compositions, however, there has hitherto been doubt whether the addition of organic corrosion inhibitors on their own makes possible adequate protection, in practice, against corrosion (Farbe und Lack 87 (1981) 787).
It is surprising, therefore, that the organic corrosion inhibitors according to the invention have a corrosion-inhibiting effect in coating compositions which is in certain cases equal to that of chromate or lead pigments, or even surpasses the latter.
The present invention relates, therefore, to a corrosion-inhibiting coating composition containing
(a) a film-former and
(b) as the corrosion inhibitor, an effective amount of an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic mono-, di-, tri- or tetracarboxylic acid which is substituted in its aliphatic or cycloaliphatic radical by at least one group of the formula I ##STR3## in which X is oxygen, sulfur or NH and each R independently of the others is hydrogen, alkyl, halogenoalkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, alkylsulfonyl, cycloalkyl, phenyl, alkylphenyl, phenylalkyl, halogen, --CN, --NO.sub.2, --COOH, --COOalkyl, --OH or a primary, secondary or tertiary amino or carbamoyl group, R not being --NH.sub.2 in the case of a monocarboxylic acid in which X is sulfur, and also base addition salts of these compounds.
Depending on whether X is oxygen, sulfur or NH, these are derivatives of benzoxazole, benzthiazole or benzimidazole. The benzthiazole derivatives are preferred.
As alkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio or alkylsulfonyl, R preferably contains 1-12 C atoms, especially 1-6 C atoms. Examples of these are methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, tert.-butyl, pentyl, hexyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl, undecyl, dodecyl and the corresponding alkoxy, alkylthio and alkylsulfonyl radicals.

The solubility in water of the corrosion inhibitors
(b) according to the invention should preferably be less than 400 mg/liter.
Some of the compounds of the formula II which are used in accordance with the invention as corrosion inhibitors are known compounds; others are novel compounds. The preparation of the compounds can be effected in accordance with a process which is the subject of a separate patent application, by reacting a compound of the formula III ##STR5## in which A is a leaving group, for example Cl, Br, I or p-tosyloxy, with a compound of the formula ##STR6## in which M is hydrogen or a cation, for example an alkali metal cation, alkaline earth metal cation or ammonium cation. Alternatively, a compound of the formula IV ##STR7## can be reacted with a compound of the formula ##STR8##
Compounds of the formula II in which X is sulfur or NH and R.sup.4 is carboxyl can also be prepared by reacting IV, in which M is hydrogen and X is S or NH, with an .alpha., .beta.-unsaturated acid of the formula ##STR9## in accordance with a process which is the subject of a separate patent application.
The component (a) can be any desired film-former, such as those which are known as binders for coating compositions. In particular, it can be an epoxide resin, polyurethane resin, aminoplast resin, acrylic resin, polyester resin, alkyd resin or a mixture of such resins. Further examples of suitable binders are vinyl resins, such as polyvinyl butyral, polyvinyl acetate or polyvinyl chloride or copolymers thereof, phenolic resins, chlorinated rubbers, styrene/butadiene copolymers, drying oils or cellulose esters.
The film-forming component (a) may be a solution of the binder resin in an organic solvent, it may be an aqueous solution or dispersion or it may be a solid powder. Of special industrial importance are "high solids coatings" containing a limited amount of organic solvent.
Suitable epoxide resins are those which have on average more than one epoxide group per molecule, for example bis-(2,3-epoxycyclohexyl) ether, 4-epoxyethylcyclohexene oxide or the 2-methyl-4,5-epoxycyclohexylmethyl ester of 2-methyl-4,5-epoxycyclohexanecarboxylic acid; diglycidyl and polyglycidyl esters of aliphatic polyols, for example 1,4-butanediol or polyalkylene glycols; diglycidyl or polyglycidyl ethers of cycloaliphatic polyols, for example 2,2-bis-(4-hydroxycyclohexyl)-propane; diglycidyl and polyglycidyl ethers of aromatic polyols, for example resorcinol, bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-methane, 2,2-bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-propane, 2,2-bis-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dibromophenyl)-propane, 1,1,2,2-tetrakis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-ethane or condensation products of phenols with formaldehyde, such as phenol or cresol novolacs; .beta.-methylglycidyl ethers of polyols; glycidyl esters of polybasic carboxylic acids, for example phthalic, terephthalic, tetrahydrophthalic or hexahydrophthalic acid; N-glycidyl derivatives of amines, amides or nitrogen-heterocyclic compounds, for example N,N-diglycidylaniline, N,N-diglycidyltoluidine or N,N,N',N'-tetraglycidyl-bis-(4-aminophenyl)-methane, triglycidyl isocyanurate, N,N'-diglycidylethyleneurea, N,N'-diglycidyl-5,5-diethylhydantoin; N,N'-diglycidyl-5-isopropylhydantoin or N,N'-diglycidyl-5,5-dimethyl-6-isopropyl-5,6-dihydrouracil.
Preferred epoxide resins are those based on aromatic polyols, in particular bisphenols. The epoxide resins are used in conjunction with a curing agent. The latter can be, in particular, an amino or hydroxy compound or an acid or an acid anhydride or a Lewis acid. Examples of these are polyamines, polyaminoamides, polysulfide polymers, polyphenols, boron fluoride and complexes thereof, polycarboxylic acids, 1,2-dicarboxylic acid anhydrides or pyromellitic dianhydride.
In addition to the components (a) and (b), the coating composition can also contain further components, for example pigments, dyes, extenders and other additives such as are customary for coating compositions. The pigments can be organic, inorganic or metallic pigments, for example titanium dioxide, iron oxide, aluminium bronze, phthalocyanine blue etc. It is also possible to use concomitantly anti-corrosion pigments, for example pigments containing phosphates or borates, metal pigments and metal oxide pigments (see Farbe und Lack 88 (1982), 183) or the pigments described in European Pat. No. A 54,267. Examples of extenders which can be used concomitantly are talc, chalk, alumina, baryte, mica or silica. Examples of further additives are flow control auxiliaries, dispersing agents, thixotropic agents, adhesion promoters, antioxidants, light stabilisers or curing catalysts.
Particular importance attaches to the addition of basic extenders or pigments. In certain binder systems, for example in acrylic and alkyd resins, these produce a synergistic effect on the inhibition of corrosion. Examples of such basic extenders or pigments are calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, zinc oxide, zinc carbonate, zinc phosphate, magnesium oxide, aluminium oxide, aluminium phosphate or mixtures thereof. Examples of pigments are those based on aminoanthraquinone.
The corrosion inhibitors according to the invention can also first be applied to such basic extenders or pigments, for example by chemisorption from an aqueous solution, and the preparations thus obtained can be added to the coating composition.
In a further preferred embodiment of the invention the corrosion inhibitors are used together with basic ion exchangers or an ion exchanger of this type is first treated with a solution of the inhibitor, and this preparation is then added to the coating composition. Examples of basic ion exchangers are all typical anion exchangers, such as those available commercially, for example under the names Dowex.RTM. 1 or 11 or Amberlite.RTM. IRA.
Finally, the corrosion inhibitor can also be applied to a neutral carrier. Suitable carriers are, in particular, pulverulent extenders or pigments. This technique is described in greater detail in German Offenlegungsschrift No. 3,122,907.
In addition to the component (b), the coating composition can also contain another organic, metal-organic or inorganic corrosion inhibitor, for example salts of nitroisophthalic acid, tannin, phosphoric esters, technical amines, substituted benztriazoles or substituted phenols, such as are described in German Offenlegungsschrift No. 3,146,265.
The coating compositions according to the invention are preferably used as a primer on metallic substrates, in particular on iron, steel, copper and aluminium. Here they can function as so-called conversion coatings, in that chemical reactions take place at the interface between the metal and the coating. The application of the coatings can be effected by the customary methods, such as spraying, brushing, roller-coating, dipping or electrodeposition, in particular cathodic deposition. Depending on whether the film-former is a resin which dries physically or can be cured by heat or radiation, the curing of the coatings is carried out at room temperature, by stoving or by irradiation.
The corrosion inhibitors can be added to the coating composition during the preparation of the latter, for example during the distribution of the pigment by grinding or the inhibitors are dissolved beforehand in a solvent and the solution is stirred into the coating composition. The inhibitor is used in an amount of 0.1-20% by weight, preferably 0.5-5% by weight, based on the solids content of the coating composition.
The following examples describe the coating compositions according to the invention and their use in greater detail.
EXAMPLE 1
A primer composed of an aromatic epoxide resin, red iron oxide, talc and a polyaminoamide curing agent and containing the corrosion inhibitor indicated in the table is applied to sand-blasted steel sheet and cured for 1 week at room temperature. A white top lacquer composed of a two-component polyurethane is then applied and is also allowed to cure for one week. An X-shaped cut extending into the metal is scratched in the lacquered sample using a type 463 Sikkens knife. The sheets are then subjected to a salt spray test as specified in ASTM B 117 for a duration of 1,000 hours. The results are listed in Table 1.

EXAMPLE 2
A alkyd resin paint is prepared using the following formulation:
40 parts of Alphthalat.RTM. AM 380 (60% solution in xylene), alkyd resin made by Reichhold Albert Chemie AG,
4 parts of iron oxide red 225 made by Bayer AG,
17.4 parts of talc (micronised),
13 parts of micronised calcium carbonate (Millicar.RTM., Pluss-Staufer AG),
0.3 part of skin prevention agent Luaktin.RTM. (BASF),
0.6 part of 8% cobalt naphthenate solution and
24.7 parts of 6:40 xylene/ethylglycol mixture.
The corrosion inhibitors indicated in the tables which follow are previously dissolved in part of the solvent and are added to the paint. The paint is ground with glass beads for 7 days until a pigment and extender particle size of 15 .mu.m is achieved.
The paint is sprayed onto sand-blasted steel sheets measuring 7.times.13 cm in a layer thickness of approx. 50 .mu.m after drying. After drying at room temperature for 7 days, the samples are cured for 60 minutes at 60.degree. C.
Two cross-shaped cuts 4 cm long are cut into the cured paint surface, until the metal is reached, using a Bonder cross-cut device. An edge protection agent (Icosit.RTM. 255) is applied to the edges in order to protect them.
The samples are now subjected to a salt spray test as specified in ASTM B 117 for a duration of 600 hours. The condition of the coating is assessed after every 200 hours of weathering, specifically the degree of bubbling (as specified in DIN No. 53,209) at the cross-cut and on the painted surface and also the degree of rusting (as specified in DIN No. 53,210) on the entire surface.
At the end of the test, the coating is removed by treatment with concentrated sodium hydroxide solution, and the corrosion of the metal at the cross-cut (as specified in DIN No. 53,167) and also over the remainder of the surface is assessed. In every case the assessment is made on the basis of a 6-stage scale. The corrosion protection value CP is given by the sum of the assessment of the coating and the assessment of the metal surface. The higher this value, the more effective the inhibitor under test.
