The invention is based on a fire protection composition according to the preamble of the first claim.
The invention is also based on a method for coating heat-stable substrates, particularly preferably heat-stable substrates in the shell construction of transport means.
In the shell construction of transport means, at the end of the shell construction, the body passes through a CDC bath (Cathodic Dip Coating), in which the latter is coated with a so-called CDC paint, which is then burnt-in in a CDC oven. A good and full-area CDC paint is a base for a long-term use of the vehicle, since it makes a significant contribution to corrosion resistance. In addition, the body additionally passes through a further oven in which the paint of the body is burnt in.
In the production of battery-operated vehicles, the containers of these batteries are provided with fire protection coatings in order to better protect the vehicle and the passengers in the event of a battery fire. However, high demands are placed on these fire protection coatings. Thus, they are intended to have good adhesion to the materials of these battery containers, which typically consist of metal, preferably without pretreatment. In addition, the fire protection coatings must not suffer any loss of quality when passing through the curing ovens and, if possible, must not exhibit any loss of mass, which would lead to an increased VOC load in these ovens. A low mass loss is typically achieved by a reduction of solvents, which, however, entails a strong increase in the viscosity of the fire protection composition. However, the latter should have a sufficiently low viscosity in order to be applied to the substrates by means of spray application. Ideally, the fire protection coatings further contribute to protection against corrosion, which would make coating with a CDC paint obsolete.
The object of the invention is to provide a fire protection composition which exhibits good adhesion to the materials of these battery containers, preferably metal, still has good fire protection values after passing through curing ovens and has a low mass loss, is suitable for spray application and preferably improves the corrosion resistance of the substrates.
Surprisingly, it has been found that a fire protection composition according to claim 1 is able to achieve this object.
Further aspects form a use of the fire protection composition for coating heat-stable substrates and a method for coating heat-stable substrates.
Preferred embodiments of the invention are the subject matter of the dependent claims.

The at least one tertiary amine B4 is particularly preferably a Mannich base, in particular 2-(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol or 2,4,6-tris(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol.
Surprisingly, it has been found that other substances which are used as accelerators for the reaction between amino groups and epoxide groups, for example acids or compounds hydrolyzable to acids, in particular organic carboxylic acids, in contrast to the tertiary amines B4 lead to a great increase in viscosity. This can be seen, for example, in Table 3 in the exchange with salicylic acid compared to Z1 with Rf.6.

The above-mentioned weight ratios are advantageous in that a fire protection composition is thereby obtained which has a low viscosity, a low mass loss, and good values in relation to adhesion, weathering resistance and fire protection behavior.
For example, it can be seen in Table 3 that too small amounts of the adduct B1 lead to a deterioration in adhesion, weathering resistance and fire protection behavior.
It is further evident that too small amounts of ether group-containing aliphatic primary diamine B2 lead to a reduction in weathering resistance and fire protection behavior and an increase in viscosity.
It is also evident from Table 3 that too small amounts of aliphatic or cycloaliphatic primary diamine B3 lead to a reduction in fire protection behavior and an increase in viscosity.
Preferably, component B has a viscosity of 10-2,000 mPa, 50-2,000 mPa, in particular 50-500 mPa, especially preferably 20-500 mPa, measured at a shear rate of 100 sec-1 at 20° C., in particular determined with a Physica MCR 301 plate-plate rheometer at 20° C., with a measuring gap of 0.5 mm according to DIN 53019-1.

Preferably, the stoichiometric ratio of epoxide-reactive groups to epoxide groups, in particular epoxide-reactive amine hydrogens to epoxide groups, in the fire protection composition is 0.90-1.15, in particular 0.95-1.10.
A fire protection coating obtained by applying the fire protection composition after mixing component A with component B is preferably applied to the substrate by means of a spray or extrusion device, with a brush or a roller, in particular by means of a spray or extrusion device. The layer thickness is less than 3 mm, preferably less than 2 mm, in particular 0.5 to 1.5 mm.
The combination of the properties found makes it possible, in particular, to use the composition according to the invention for a fire protection coating in coating agents that can be applied by brush, by roller or by spraying.
The fire protection coating obtained from the applied fire protection composition preferably has a layer thickness of 0.1 to 4 mm, preferably 0.3 to 2 mm, in particular 0.5 to 1.5 mm.

The step i) takes place before step ii).
In particular, the heat-stable substrate S1 is metals and plastics such as ABS, polyamide, polyphenylene ether, composites such as SMC, unsaturated polyester GFRP, epoxy or acrylate composites. Preferably, these are substrates made of metal. The preferred metals are primarily steel, in particular electrolytically galvanized, hot-dip galvanized, oiled steel, Bonazink-coated steel, and subsequently phosphated steel, and also aluminum, in particular in the variants typically occurring in automotive construction. It is particularly preferably a substrate made of aluminum.
It can be advantageous that before step i) and step ii) a step i′) is carried out, wherein the coated heat-stable substrate S1 with a CDC painting solution (Cathodic Dip Coating), in particular at a temperature between 20 and 100° C., in particular between 20 and 80° C.; preferably between 40 and 75° C., in particular for 1-15 min, particularly preferably for 1-5 min. Preferred painting solutions are described, for example, as cationic electrodeposition coatings in Römpp Chemie Lexikon, online Version, Georg Thieme Verlag, retrieved on Dec. 14, 2018.
However, in table 3 it has been found that the composition according to the invention has good corrosion resistance. Therefore, it can be advantageous, for cost and time saving reasons, if no step i′) is carried out before step i) and ii).
It can be further advantageous that before step i) the heat-stable substrate S1 does not undergo any pretreatment, in particular no mechanical pretreatment and/or pretreatment by application of an adhesion promoter composition, in particular not at the locations of the surface of the heat-stable substrate S1 on which the fire protection composition is applied in step i).
In Table 3 it has been found that the composition according to the invention has good adhesion to aluminum, in particular without the aluminum substrate having undergone a mechanical pretreatment or applying an adhesion promoter composition thereto.
It can further be advantageous that after step i) the applied fire protection coating has a layer thickness of 0.1-4 mm, preferably 0.3-2.0 mm, in particular 0.5 to 1.5 mm.
It may further be advantageous if the heat-stable substrate S1 is a body having a height of 10-60 cm, in particular 20-40 cm, a width of 50-500 cm, in particular 150-300 cm, and a depth of 50-700 cm, in particular 250-500 cm. Particularly preferably, the body is a container for batteries, in particular batteries for the drive of transport means, in particular automobiles.
It can be further advantageous that in step i) the fire protection coating is applied by means of spraying, brushing or rolling, in particular by means of spraying. Before the application of the fire-protection coating, the components A and B are preferably mixed.
In a further aspect, the invention comprises the use of a fire protection composition as described above for the coating of heat-stable substrates, in particular metal substrates, especially preferably aluminum substrates, particularly preferably of heat-stable substrates In the shell construction of transport means.

Compositions Z1-Z4 and Rf.1-Rf.7 consisting of the ingredients in parts by weight were prepared according to the data in Table 2 and Table 3. The compositions Rf1-Rf.7 are comparative examples.
Description Method of Mixing and Applying the Composition
The components A and B were mixed in the weight ratio 13.3:1. The two components were briefly mixed by hand, then for 30 seconds at 2000 rpm in a speed mixer and applied. The applied layer thickness on the primed automobile sheet plates was between 500 μm and 2000 μm. The wet layer thickness corresponds here to the dry layer thickness.
Component A had an EP value of 0.137 g/100 g, the component B had an amine value of 415 mg KOH/g. The stoichiometric ratio of the mixed composition was 103%.
Description Method and Analysis of Mass Loss
Composition Z1 was analyzed by thermogravimetry (TGA) using the real parameters from the burn-in cycle of an automotive manufacturer in Germany.
The following parameters were used on a vacuum-tight thermo-microbalance (TG 209 F1 Libra from Netzsch):
It has been found that the composition Z1 had only a mass loss after heating of 1.6 wt % and after a subsequent isotherm of 50 minutes at 175° C. of 5.6 wt %. Similarly small values were also determined for isotherms of 150, 165, 190 and 200° C.
These low mass losses during the burning-in are advantageous for the produced value, since hardly any additional emissions are produced by the composition Z1. Products of the prior art show significantly higher mass losses.
Description Method and Analysis of Viscosity
The Viscosity was measured with a Physica MCR 301 plate-plate Rheometer at 20° C. with a measuring gap of 0.5 mm according to DIN 53019-1. The viscosity was determined at a shear rate of 100 1/sec.
The following evaluation was used in Table 3:
Description Method and Analysis of Corrosion Resistance
For the Corrosion Protection Test According to ISO 9227 NSS and ISO 6270-1, sample bodies were produced as follows:
In the test of 480 h salt fog test and 720 h condensed water climate, the composition Z1 proved to be particularly resistant to corrosion and climate.
The following evaluation was used in Table 3:
Description Method and Analysis of Adhesion
Adhesive measurement according to DIN EN ISO 4624. For this purpose, 20 mm adhesive tensile stamps were bonded to the coating surface and, after curing for 24 h at room temperature, removed using a hydraulic adhesive tensile testing machine, type Elcometer 510. The device automatically displays the adhesive tension value in MPa or N/mm2. The adhesive tensile values of composition Z1, on blasted steel are in the range of 10 N/mm2.
The following evaluation was used in Table 3:
Description Method and Analysis of Fire Protection
In the development, the fire resistance of the composition was first tested according to EN 13501-2 and according to the test method from EN 13381-8:2010. The compositions Z1 and Z4 showed a good insulation effect against the heat input onto the substrate and good stability against falling off or flying away due to turbulence in the fire. This has been given a rating of (+) in Table 3. Compositions which had a reduced insulation effect and/or stability were given a rating of (−).
