BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to novel thermosetting compositions, thermal latent carboxyl compounds and methods of preparation thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to novel thermosetting compositions having excellent chemical properties, physical properties and weathering resistance and exceptionally excellent storage stability and suitable for preparation of coating compositions, ink, adhesive and molded plastics, novel thermal latent carboxyl compounds utilized for the preparation of the thermosetting compositions and methods of effectively preparing the thermal latent carboxyl compounds.
2. Description of the Prior Art
It is generally known that thermosetting compositions can be prepared from compounds having carboxyl groups and compounds having reactive functional groups which can form chemical bonds with the carboxyl groups by heating, such as epoxy group, silanol group, alkoxysilane group, hydroxyl group, amino group, imino group, isocyanate group, blocked isocyanate group, cyclocarbonate group, vinyl ether group, vinyl thioether group, aminomethylol group, alkylated aminomethylol group, acetal group and ketal group. The thermosetting compositions give cured products having excellent chemical properties, physical properties and weathering resistance and are widely utilized in the field of coating compositions, ink, adhesive and molded plastics.
However, the reactivity between the carboxyl groups and the reactive functional groups is generally very high and compositions in which compounds having carboxyl groups and compounds having the reactive functional groups are mixed together have problems that the composition is often gelatinized during storage or, in other words, that potlife is short.
For the purpose of solving the problems, it was proposed that carboxyl group was blocked by converting it to tertiary-butyl ester and the free carboxyl group was regenerated by elimination of isobutene by heating (Laid-Open Japanese Patent Publication Heisei 1-104646). However, this method requires high temperature, such as 170.degree.-200.degree. C., for the heat decomposition of the tertiary-butyl ester and problems remain from the point of view of material saving and energy saving.

Materials excluding following components were charged into the sand mill: Denacol EX-421.RTM. in Example 9, the compound B-2 in Example 10, Chemitite PZ-33.RTM. in Example 11, the compound A-4 in Example 12, Coronate EH.RTM. in Example 13, Cymel 303.RTM. in Example 14, the compound B-1 in Example 15, KR-214.RTM. in Example 16, the compound B-7 in Example 17 and Cymel 303.RTM. in Example 19. All the raw materials were charged into the sand mill in Example 18. In Examples 9 through 17 and Example 19, one component coating compositions were prepared by adding the materials which were not treated by the sand mill to the materials treated by the sand mill. In Example 18, the materials treated by the sand mill were utilized for the preparation of one component coating compositions. The coating compositions prepared were diluted by a thinner (a mixture of xylene and butyl acetate in 8 to 2 weight ratio) to the viscosity of 1 poise (measured by Brookfield type viscometer at 20.degree. C.) and stored in a sealed condition at 50.degree. C. After the coating compositions were stored for 30 days at 50.degree. C., viscosity was measured. The results summarized in Table 9 show that the increase of viscosity was very slight in all cases and that the coating compositions had excellent storage stability.
(2) Preparation of test piece
Cationic electro coating paint AQUA No. 4200.RTM. (a product of Nippon Oil and Fats Co., Ltd.) was applied by electrodeposition to a soft steel plate treated with zinc phosphate in an amount to form a film having dried thickness of 20 .mu.m and the coated plate was baked at 175.degree. C. for 25 minutes. Intermediate coating paint EPICO No. 1500CP Sealer.RTM. (a product of Nippon Oil and Fats Co., Ltd.) was applied to the prepared plate by air spraying in an amount to form a film having dried thickness of 40 .mu.m and the plate was baked at 140.degree. C. for 30 minutes to obtain a base test piece.
The raw coating compositions prepared in (1) were diluted with thinner (a mixture of xylene and butyl acetate in 8 to 2 ratio) to a viscosity required for spraying (25 seconds at 20.degree. C. by Ford cup No. 4) and applied to the base test piece prepared before by air spray coating. Test pieces were prepared by curing the coated pieces in the conditions shown in Table 9.
Results of the evaluation of coatings are shown in Table 9. In all cases, uniform coating having good gloss were prepared. All the coatings showed excellent acid resistance, impact resistance, weathering resistance and hardness when they were cured at 140.degree. C.

In the case of Comparative example 2 shown in Table 11, viscosity increased remarkably with the period of storage, leading finally to gellation after 5 days, because neither carboxyl group or epoxy group was blocked to prevent crosslinking reaction of the both functional groups under the storage condition.

The test piece of Comparative example 1 which corresponded to the material disclosed in Japanese Laid-open Patent Publication Heisei 1-104646 did not give cured film having satisfactory properties even when it was cured at 140.degree.
