Abstract
The present invention relates to a composition comprising monoaspartic acid esters and polyaspartic acid esters as well as an addition product prepared from an unsaturated dicarboxilic acid compound and a thiol, a process for their production, and their use as reactive component for polyisocyanates in two-component polyurethane systems.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to compositions based on monoaspartic acid esters and polyaspartic acid esters, a process for their production, and their use as reactive components for polyisocyanates in two-component polyurethane systems.
[0002] Two-component (2K) coating agents that contain as binder a polyisocyanate component in combination with a component reactive with respect to isocyanate groups, in particular a polyhydroxyl component, have been known for a long time. They are suitable for the production of high-quality coatings that are hard, elastic and resistant to abrasion and solvents, and that in particular can also be formulated to resist weathering.
[0003] In the field of 2K-polyurethane coating technology, specific ester group-containing secondary polyamines have recently become established that are in particular suitable, in combination with lacquer polyisocyanates, as binders in low-solvent or solvent-free high-solid coating compositions and that permit a rapid hardening of the coatings at low temperatures.
[0004] These secondary polyamines are the so-called polyaspartic acid esters such as are described for example in EP-A 0 403 921. Their use alone or mixed with further components reactive with respect to isocyanate groups in 2K-PUR coating agents is described for example in EP-A 0 403 921, EP-A 0 639 628, EP-A 0 667 362, EP-A 0 689 881, U.S. Pat. No. 5,214,086, EP-A 0 699 696, EP-A 0 596 360, EP-A 0 893 458, DE-A 19 701 835 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,243,012.
[0005] The synthesis of polyaspartic acid esters is carried out by the addition of primary amines to an activated carbon double bond of vinylogous carbonyl compounds, as contained for example in maleic or fumaric acid esters and which is described in detail in the relevant literature (Houben Weyl, Meth. d. Org. Chemie Vol. 11/1, 272 (1957); Usp. Khim. 1969, 38,1933).
[0006] It has been found that this reaction sometimes does not go to completion during the synthesis (for example after 24 hours while stirring at 60° C.). The conversion rate of the reaction depends decisively on the type of primary polyamines used. The degree of conversion (measured on the basis of the concentrations of free, unreacted maleic and fumaric acid esters) after 1 day with 1,5-diamino-2-methylpentane is 90 to 93%. In contrast to this the degree of conversion when using a cycloaliphatic polyamine with sterically hindered amino groups (for example 4,4′-diamino-3,3′-dimethyldicyclohexylmethane) is only 77%. A complete or almost complete conversion is sometimes achieved only after several months.
[0007] These incompletely reacted products contain unreacted primary amino groups and possibly also free primary polyamines as well as the corresponding amount of unreacted maleic or fumaric acid esters. As a result, after the production of the products the latter continue to react during subsequent storage and accordingly the viscosity of the reaction mixture rises constantly until complete conversion has been attained. In addition, the reactivity of the product with respect to isocyanates decreases with the reduction in the concentration of primary amino groups. It is therefore sometimes not possible to ensure the establishment of a reproducible pot life.
[0008] Various solutions to the problem have already been described in the prior art, which however still do not provide ultimately satisfactory results.
[0009] It is possible to extend the reaction time or increase the reaction temperature. The first solution is often excluded for economic reasons. Increasing the reaction temperature to for example 80° C. or even 100° C. leads in turn to a increase in the color number of the product.
[0010] EP-A 0 667 362 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,243,012 describe extending the pot life of 2K-PUR binders based on polyisocyanates and polyaspartic acid esters by adding zeolites and/or organotin(IV) compounds. These measures are however only ameliorative and sometimes adversely affect other properties, and may for example lead to a turbidity of the lacquer or accelerate the NCO/OH reaction in the binder.
[0011] U.S. Pat. No. 5,821,326 describes how the reaction to produce monoaspartic acid and polyaspartic acid esters can be catalyzed by five-membered aromatic ring compounds. Although the catalysts used do indeed permit a more rapid conversion of the components, nevertheless in none of the quoted examples had a complete conversion of the reaction mixture been achieved within a reaction time of four days at 60° C. During the subsequent storage of the product mixture the viscosity of the product rises on account of the incomplete reaction.
[0012] In U.S. Pat. No. 5,216,170 the excess fumaric acid ester is removed by means of distillation and thus withdrawn from the reaction. This process is however time-consuming and energy-intensive and therefore does not provide a basis for a technically feasible process.
[0013] Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide monoaspartic acid ester and polyaspartic acid ester systems that have an improved viscosity stability and thus storage stability without the quality of the resulting binders and/or coatings being adversely affected.
[0014] This object may be achieved by a thiol compound to an incompletely reacted reaction mixture, which during storage leads to a significantly lower rise in viscosity of the product and moreover the end product does not suffer from malodorous side effects due to the thiol compounds that are used. The effect of adding the thiol compound is that the unreacted portion of the vinylogous carbonyl compound is no longer available to undergo further reaction with the primary amines.

[0038] The present invention also provides a process for the production of monoaspartic acid esters and polyaspartic acid esters of formula (I)
X—[NH—CH(CH2—COOR2)—COOR1]m (I)
[0039] by reacting monoamines or polyamines of formula (IV) (component C),

[0040] with compounds of formula (II) (component A)

[0041] with a residual content of double bonds of 2 to 15% measured in terms of the double bonds present at the start of the reaction
[0042] in the presence of at least one thiol compound of the formula (III) (component B),

[0045] n represents an integer ≧1 and ≦4.
[0046] The process according to the invention for the production of monoaspartic acid esters and/or polyaspartic acid esters of formula (I) is preferably carried out in two stages. In the first stage the components A and C are reacted at temperatures between 0° C. and 100° C., preferably 20° C. to 80° C. and more preferably 20° C. to 60° C., in a ratio of equivalents of primary amino groups of the component C to the C═C double bond equivalents of the component A of 1:1.2 to 1.2:1, preferably however 1:1.05 to 1.05:1, until the residual content of double bonds measured in terms of the double bonds present at the start of the reaction is 2 to 15%, preferably 5 to 10%. In the second stage unreacted double bond equivalents of the component A are reacted in the temperature range from 0° C. to 100° C., preferably 20° C. to 80 C. and more preferably 20° C. to 60° C., with the thiol groups of the component B in a molar ratio of 1.5:1 to 1:1, preferably 1.2:1 to 1:1, and more preferably 1.05:1.
[0047] A further suitable embodiment of the process according to the invention is the production of the monoaspartic acid and/or polyaspartic acid esters in three stages, wherein two different amines of the formula (IV) are used as component C1 and C2. In the first stage the components A and C1 are reacted at temperatures between 0° C. and 100° C., preferably 20° C. to 80° C. and particularly preferably 20° C. to 60° C., in a ratio of the equivalent of the primary amino groups of the component C1 to the C═C-double bond equivalents of the component A of 1:1.3 to 1:2, but preferably 1:1.5 to 1:1.7, until the residual content of primary amino groups is 0 to 15%, preferably 0 to 10%. The mixture is then reacted in the second stage with the component C2 in a temperature range from 0 C. to 100 C., preferably 20° C. to 80 C. and particularly preferably 20° C. to 60° C., so that the ratio of the sum of the equivalents of the amino groups of components C1 and C2 to the double bond equivalents of the component A is 1:1.2 to 1.2:1, preferably however 1:1.05 to 1.05:1. The reaction is carried out until 2 to 15%, preferably 5 to 10% of the double bonds still remain. In the third stage unreacted double bond equivalents of the component A are reacted with the thiol groups of the component B in a molar ratio of 1.5:1 to 1:1, preferably 1.2:1 to 1:1 and particularly preferably 1.05:1, in a temperature range from 0 C. to 10° C., preferably 20 C. to 80° C. and particularly preferably 20° C. to 60° C.
[0048] In the process according to the invention, in principle all known monoamines and polyamines having at least one primary amino group and that correspond to the formula (IV) may be used as component C.

Less preferred are mixtures of the aforementioned thiol compounds.
[0056] The production of the monoaspartic acid esters or polyaspartic acid esters of formula (I) according to the invention may be carried out in solution as well as in a solvent-free manner. The addition of solvents may however also take place only after the completion of the synthesis process, for example in order to reduce the viscosity.

Examples include, though the list is not meant to be exhaustive, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, n-butyl acetate, methoxypropyl acetate, toluene, xylene as well as higher aromatic solvents such as are marketed by Exxon-Chemie under the trade name Solvesso.
[0057] In a preferred embodiment of the invention the composition according to the invention contains
[0058] a) 98 to 55 wt. % of a monoaspartic and polyaspartic acid ester of formula (I),
[0059] b) 45 to 1 wt. % of an addition product prepared from a component A of formula (II) and a component B of the formula (III),
[0060] c) 0 to 3 wt. % of free component A of formula (II),
[0061] d) 0 to 1 wt. % of free component C of the formula (IV),
[0062] with the proviso that the sum of a) to d) totals 100 wt. % based on a) to d),
[0063] as well as optionally free component B of the formula (III) and optionally the conventional additives.
[0064] In a particularly preferred embodiment the composition according to the invention contains
[0065] a) 97 to 71 wt. % of a monoaspartic and polyaspartic acid ester of formula (I),

[0069] with the proviso that the sum of a) to d) totals 100 wt. % based on a) to d),
[0070] as well as optionally free component B of the formula (III) and optionally the conventional additives.
[0071] The compositions according to the invention can be used directly after the completion of the synthesis process and, as regards reactivity, are stable over a period of several months and exhibit a significantly improved viscosity stability. On account of their low internal viscosity compared to the monoaspartic and polyaspartic acid esters that have been produced according to processes known in the prior art, the compositions according to the invention represent valuable reaction partners for polyisocyanates in low-solvent or solvent-free two-component polyurethane lacquers and coatings.
[0072] The present invention also provides for the use of the compositions according to the invention as reactive component in two-component polyurethane systems or for the production of prepolymers.
[0073] The two-component (2K) polyurethane systems containing the compositions according to the invention may then be used as coating agents for the production of coatings.
[0074] The invention is further illustrated but is not intended to be limited by the following examples in which all parts and percentages are by weight unless otherwise specified.
EXAMPLES
[0075] All percentages refer to percentages by weight unless otherwise specified.
[0076] A) Analysis of the Polyaspartic Acid Esters
[0077] The degree of conversion were determined on the basis of the signals from the methylene protons of the fumaric acid ester (into which maleic acid ester rearranges under base catalysis) and of the aspartic acid ester by means of 1H-NMR spectroscopy (400 MHz). The sample was dissolved in CDCl3 to record the spectrum.
[0078] The viscosities were determined in a viscosimeter from Physika (conical plate). The shear gradient was 40-sec−1.
[0079] B) Preparation of the Polyaspartic Acid Esters
[0080] I) General Procedure for the Preparation of the Polyaspartic Acid Esters (Comparison Examples)
[0081] One mole (2 g equiv.) of the diamine (component C) is placed under a nitrogen atmosphere in a 1 l capacity four-neck flask equipped with stirrer, dropping funnel, reflux cooler and internal thermometer, and 2 moles of maleic acid diethyl ester (344.36 g, component A) were added while stirring so that the temperature in the reaction mixture reached 50° C. but did not significantly exceed this value. The reaction mixture was then stirred for a further 60 to 180 hours at 600C. During the whole reaction time a gentle stream of nitrogen was passed over the reaction mixture.

[0105] C) Gelling Times of Coating Compositions
[0106] In the following examples coatings were produced by combination of the polyaspartic acid esters described in Examples 1 to 5 and polyisocyanates. In order to produce the coatings and to determine the gelling times, the polyaspartic acid esters were reacted with a polyisocyanate produced from 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (Desmodur N 3600 from Bayer AG; viscosity: 1200 mPa s/23° C., NCO content: 23.4%, equivalent weight: 180 g) in an NCO:NH ratio of 1.05:1. The gelling time was the interval between the mixing of the two components up to the time at which the mixture could no longer be stirred.

*The storage time in each case was 3 months at room temperature.
[0107] The higher product stability of the aspartic acid esters can be seen by comparing the gelling times of the mixture given in Table 1 for the production of the coatings 7, 8, 9 and 10 (comparison examples) with the gelling times of the mixtures used to produce the coatings 11-14, 15 and 16 (aspartic acid esters according to the invention).
[0108] D) Measurement of the Shore Hardness
[0109] The measurements were carried out according to DIN 53505.

Claims
- 1. A composition comprising monoaspartic acid esters and polyaspartic acid esters of formula (I),
- 2. The composition of claim 1, wherein R1 and R2 have 1 to 18 carbon atoms.
- 3. The composition of claim 1, wherein R1 and R2 have 1 to 8 carbon atoms.
- 4. The composition of claim 1, comprising:
a) 98 to 55 wt. % of a monoaspartic and polyaspartic acid ester of formula (I), b) 45 to 1 wt. % of an addition product prepared from a component A of formula (II) and a component B of formula c) 0 to 3 wt. % of unreacted component A of formula (II), d) 0 to 1 wt. % of unreacted component C of the formula (IV), X[—NH2]m (IV) wherein X and m have the aforementioned meanings, with the proviso that the sum of a) to d) totals 100 wt. % based on a) to d), as well as optionally free component B of the formula (III) and optionally the conventional additives.
- 5. A process for the production of monoaspartic acid esters and polyaspartic acid esters of formula (I),
- 6. The process of claim 5, wherein R1 and R2represent identical or different alkyl radicals each having 1 to 18 carbon atoms.
- 7. The process of claim 5, wherein R1 and R2 represent identical or different alkyl radicals each having 1 to 8 carbon atoms.
- 8. The process of claim 5, wherein at least one thiol compound of the formula (III) (component B) has a residual content of double bonds of 5 to 10% measured in terms of the double bonds present at the start of the reaction.
- 9. The process of claim 5, wherein in a first stage the components A and C are reacted in a ratio of the equivalents of the primary amino groups of the component C to the C═C double bond equivalents of the component A of 1:1.2 to 1.2:1 and in a second stage unreacted double bond equivalents of the component A are reacted with the thiol groups of the component B in a molar ratio of 1.5:1 to 1:1.
- 10. The process of claim 5, wherein two different amines of the formula (IV) are used as component C1 and C2 and in a first stage the components A and C1 are reacted at temperatures between 0° C. and 100° C. in a ratio of the equivalent of the primary amino groups of the component C1 to the C=C-double bond equivalents of the component A of 1:1.3 to 1:2 until the residual content of primary amino groups is 0 to 15%, after which the mixture is then reacted in the second stage with the component C2 in a temperature range from 0 C. to 100 C., so that the ratio of the sum of the equivalents of the amino groups of components C1 and C2 to the double bond equivalents of the component A is 1:1.2 to 1.2:1 until 2 to 15% of the double bonds still remain after which in a third stage unreacted double bond equivalents of the component A are reacted with the thiol groups of the component B in a molar ratio of 1.5:1 to 1:1 in a temperature range from 0° C. to 100 C.
- 11. A prepolymer prepared by reacting a composition of claim 1.
- 12. A two-component polyurethane systems containing compositions according to claim 1.
