Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to novel thermosetting compositions, thermal latent hydroxyl compounds, thermal latent thiol compounds and methods of preparation thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to novel thermosetting compositions having excellent chemical properties, physical properties and weatherbility and exceptionally excellent storage stability and suitable for preparation of coating compositions, ink, adhesive and molded plastics, novel thermal latent hydroxyl compounds and novel thermal latent thiol compounds are utilized for the preparation of the thermosetting compositions and methods of effectively preparing the thermal latent compounds.
2. Description of the Prior Art
It is generally known that thermosetting compositions can be prepared from compounds having hydroxyl groups or thiol groups and compounds having reactive functional groups which can form chemical bonds with the hydroxyl groups or thiol groups by heating, such as epoxy group, carboxyl group, acid anhydride group, silanol group, alkoxysilane group, isocyanate group, blocked isocyanate group, cyclocarbonate group, vinyl ether group, vinyl thioether group, acryloyloxy group, methacryloyloxy group, aminomethylol group, alkylated aminomethylol group, acetal group and ketal group. The thermosetting compositions resulting cured products having excellent chemical properties, physical properties and weatherbility and are widely utilized in the field of coating compositions, ink, adhesive and molded plastics.
However, the reactivity between the hydroxyl groups or thiol groups and the reactive functional groups is generally very high and compositions in which compounds having the hydroxyl groups or thiol groups and compounds having the reactive functional groups are mixed together have problems that the composition is often gelatinized during storage and the period in which the composition can be utilized is short. Therefore, the composition is actually utilized by the form of a two component thermosetting composition in which components containing the said different kinds of functional groups each other are stored separately in individual vessels and the two components are mixed together immediately before use.
It is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,530,167 that a compound in which a hydroxyl group is made into an acetal group can be utilized. However, an acetal group is used for the reaction of curing by itself in this method and utilization of thermal latent catalysts is not mentioned at all.

In Examples 17 and 18, the materials treated by the sand mill were utilized for the preparation of one component coating composition. 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.

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 pieces
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.

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.

COMPARATIVE EXAMPLES 1 AND 2
Components listed in Table 10 were utilized for the preparation of the coating compositions. The components were dispersed and made into coating compositions by the same method as in Examples 9 through 19. The materials excluding pentaerythritol tetrakis(thioglycolate) in Comparative example 1 and the materials excluding Coronate EH.RTM. in Comparative examples 2 were dispersed by using a sand mill and utilized for preparation of coating materials.
The coating materials thus prepared were evaluated on the storage stability in the same method as in Examples 9 through 19. In the both examples, viscosity increased remarkably with the period of storage. In the case of Comparative example 1, the coating material was gelatinized after 5 days because neither thiol group or epoxy group was blocked to prevent crosslinking reaction of the both functional groups under the storage condition.

(1) Preparation of coating compositions
Components summarized in Table 13 were utilized for the preparation of the coating compositions. A part of or all materials were charged into a sand mill and dispersed until the particle size decreased to not more than 10 .mu.m. Materials excluding following components were charged into the sand mill: the compound A-1 in Example 24, the compound A-2 in Example 25, the compound A-3 in Examples 26 and 27, KR-214.RTM. in Example 28, Cymel 303.RTM. in Example 29, the compound B-7 in Example 30, Coronate EH.RTM. in Example 31 and Denacol EX-421.RTM. in Example 34. All the raw materials were charged into the sand mill in Examples 32 and 33. In Examples 24 through 31 and Example 34, 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 Examples 32 and 33, 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 14 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 pieces
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 coating compositions thus prepared were evaluated on the storage stability in the same method as in Examples 24 through 34. In the both examples, viscosity increased remarkably with the period of storage. In the case of Comparative example 4, the coating material was gelatinized after 5 days because neither thiol group or epoxy group was blocked to prevent crosslinking reaction of the both functional groups under the storage condition. In the case of Comparative example 5, the coating material was gelatinized after 3 days because neither hydroxyl group or isocyanate group was blocked to prevent crosslinking reaction of the both functional groups under the storage condition.
