Water-type dispersion composition

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a water-type dispersion composition, and, especially to a water-type dispersion composition which has excellent storage stability, adhesion, alkali resistance, organic chemical resistance, weather resistance, hot water resistance, pollution recuperative characteristics, and the like and which is capable of forming a transparent and extremely hard film. The present invention also relates to a process for preparing this water-type dispersion composition.
2. Description of the Background Art
Coating agents are conventionally used in various field and the fields of application of these coating agents are steadily expanding. With this expansion, the characteristics required for these coating agents have advanced. There have been recent demands for coating agents which exhibit highly balanced performances in adhesion, chemical resistance, moisture resistance, weather resistance, hot water resistance, pollution recuperative characteristics, and the like and which are capable of forming an extremely hard film.
As coating agents partially satisfying such a demand, a composition including a partial condensation product of organosilane, colloidal silica dispersion liquid, and silicon-modified acrylic resin is disclosed (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 135465/1985). Also, a composition including a partial condensation product of organosilane, chelate compound of zirconium alkoxide, and a vinyl resin containing a hydrolytic silyl group is proposed (see Japanese Patent Application Laid No. 1769/1989).
However, these coating agents are all solvent types. Recently, there has been a strong demand for eliminating the use of solvents in view of low environmental pollution, resource saving, safety, sanitation, and the like. Therefore, use of these solvent-type coating agents is being eliminated in preference of aqueous coating agents.
Extensive studies have been conducted to develop reaction-type resin emulsions among these aqueous coating agents since these reaction-type resin emulsions are expected to improve performance such as water resistance, chemical resistance, and the like. Among these reaction-type resin emulsions, resin emulsions including a hydrolytic silyl group are proposed. A reaction-type resin emulsion including a vinyl polymer containing a hydrolytic silyl group and an amineimide group is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open 26035/1995 as an example of such a resin emulsion including a hydrolytic silyl group. Also, an aqueous paint composition comprising a water dispersion composition of a vinyl polymer having an alkoxysilyl group and a water-type dispersion composition of a tin compound is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 91510/1995.
However, these resin emulsions containing a hydrolytic silyl group have inferior storage stability. If this emulsion is stored for a long period of time, there is the drawback that it gels and a paint film obtained from the emulsion after long time storage differs in characteristics from a paint film obtained from the emulsion directly after production and hence a stable quality cannot be maintained, causing problems in practice. Also, even when the storage stability is relatively high, these resin emulsions exhibit inferior balance in total performance including adhesion, chemical resistance, moisture resistance, weather resistance, hot water resistance, pollution recuperation characteristics, and the like.
The present invention has been achieved in view of these problems. It is an object of the present invention to provide a water-type dispersion composition which has extremely excellent storage stability, excellent balance in performance such as adhesion, alkali resistance, organic chemical resistance, moisture resistance, weather resistance, hot water resistance, pollution recuperation characteristics, and the like, allows a transparent and extremely hard paint film to be formed, and is useful as a coating agent.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of the present invention is attained by provision of a water-type dispersion composition comprising a polymer (hereinafter called "specific polymer (A)") dispersed in an aqueous medium, the polymer being produced from (a) a polyorganosiloxane and (b) a vinyl polymer.
In the present invention in which a vinyl polymer is preferably chemically combined with a polyorganosiloxane, the dispersion stability of the water-type dispersion composition is excellent.
The above object of the present invention is further attained by provision of a process for preparing a water-type dispersion composition comprising a polymer dispersed in an aqueous medium, which comprises hydrolyzing or partially condensing an organosilane and a vinyl polymer in an organic solvent in the presence of a metal chelate and an catalytic amount of water, dispersing the reaction solution in an aqueous medium, and distilling the organic solvent.

In the preparation of the specific polymer (A), it is desirable to formulate a chelate compound of a metal selected from a group consisting of zirconium, titanium, and aluminum (hereinafter called "metal chelate compound (B)").
It is considered that the metal chelate compound (B) has functions of promoting the hydrolysis and/or partial condensation of the above polyorganosiloxane (a) and the vinyl polymer (b) and of promoting the formation of the condensate of both components.
Examples of such a metal chelate compound (B) include compounds represented by the formulae:
Zr(OR.sup.5).sub.p (R.sup.6 COCHCOR.sup.7).sub.4-p,

(G) Multifunctional Hydrazine Derivative
The water-type dispersion composition of the present invention may further contain a multifunctional hydrazine derivative (hereinafter called "multifunctional hydrazine derivative (G)") having two or more hydrazino group in a molecule. It is desirable that this multifunctional hydrazine derivative (G) be compounded in the case where the vinyl polymer (b), which is a component of the polymer (A), contains a carbonyl group. The multifunctional hydrazine derivative (G) has the function in which the hydrazino group reacts with a carbonyl group contained in the polymer (A) to form a network structure and thereby to promote the linking of the film.
Given as preferred examples of the functional hydrazine derivative (G) are aqueous dihydrazines including dicarboxylic acid dihydrazides having from 2 to 10 and preferably from 4 to 6 carbon atoms in total, such as oxalic acid dihydrazide, malonic acid dihydrazide, succinic acid dihydrazide, glutaric acid dihydrazide, adipic acid dihydrazide, sebacic acid dihydrazide, phthalic acid dihydrazide, isophthalic acid dihydrazide, terephthalic acid dihydrazide, maleic acid dihydrazide, fumaric acid dihydrazide, itaconic acid dihydrazide, and the like; hydrazides having three or more functional groups, such as citric acid trihydrazide, nitriloaccetic acid trihydrazide, cyclohexanetricarboxylic acid trihydrazide, ethylenediaminetetraccetic acid tetrahydrazide, and the like; aliphatic dihydrazines having 2 to 4 carbon atoms in total, such as ethylene-1,2-dihydrazine, propylene-1,2-dihydrazine, propylene-1,3-dihydrazine, butylene-1,2-dihydrazine, butylene-1,3-dihydrazine, butylene-1,4-dihydrazine, butylene-2,3-dihydrazine, and the like.

Using such a blocked multifunctional hydrazine derivative, the progress of the linking reaction of the water-type dispersion composition is appropriately controlled, hence re-dispersibility which is important an characteristic for a printing ink is further improved.
Among these multifunctional hydrazine derivatives, adipic acid dihydrazide, sebacic acid dihydrazide, isophthalic acid dihydrazide, dihydrazidediacetonehydrazone adipate, or the like is preferable.
These multifunctional hydrazine derivatives may be used either independently or in combinations of two or more.

In this case, if the equivalent ratio of the hydrazino group to one equivalent of the carbonyl group is not more than 0.1, resistance to solvent and to damage of the film tend to decrease. On the other hand, if the equivalent ratio of the hydrazino group exceeds 5, water resistance and transparency of the film tend to decrease. When the blocked multifunctional hydrazine derivative is used as the multifunctional hydrazine derivative, the equivalent ratio of the carbonyl group to the hydrazino group in the multifunctional hydrazine derivative before the multifunctional hydrazine derivative is blocked is used as the target equivalent ratio.
The multifunctional hydrazine derivative (G) may be formulated in the water-type dispersion composition of the present invention in any of the steps of preparing the water-type dispersion composition. However, it is desirable that the multifunctional hydrazine derivative (G) be all formulated in the water-type dispersion composition after the polymer (A) is produced, to restraint the occurrence of flocks in the step of preparing the polymer (A) and to maintain the stability in polymerization.

Further, the viscosity of the water-type dispersion composition, which did not gel, was measured using a BM type viscometer manufactured by TOKYO KEIKI CO., LTD. and the case where the rate of change was within 20% was determined as "no change".
Adhesion
A tape peeling test was performed three times according to the cross-cut adhesion test of JIS K5400 and the adhesion was determined by the average of the three test results.
Hardness
The hardness was determined by pencil hardness according to JIS K5400.
Alkali Resistance
With respect to alkali resistance (1), 1 cc of an aqueous sodium hydroxide with a concentration of 1 to 40% was dropped on a film, which was allowed to stand in a Petri dish for 6 hours and then washed with water to observe the condition of the film and thereby to determine the maximum concentration of sodium hydroxide to the extent that no abnormality of the film was observed.
With respect to alkali resistance (2), a substrate material on which a film was formed by application was dipped into an aqueous saturated calcium hydroxide solution for 60 days to observe the condition of the film. The case where no abnormality was observed is indicated by the symbol ".largecircle.".
Resistance to Chemicals
A test strip on which a film was formed was dipped into isopropyl alcohol in a Petri dish for 60 days and was then wiped with cloth to observe the condition of the film. The case where no abnormality was observed is indicated by the symbol ".largecircle.".
Moisture resistance
A test strip on which a film was formed was continuously kept under the conditions of a temperature of 50 C. and a humidity of 95% for 1,000 hours. The test strip was removed to observe the condition of the film. The case where no abnormality was observed is indicated by the symbol ".largecircle.".
Weather Resistance
A test strip on which a film was formed was subjected to a 2,000 hour irradiation test using a weatherometer according to JIS K5400 to observe the condition of the film. The case where no abnormality was observed is indicated by the symbol ".largecircle.".
Water Resistance
A test strip on which a film was formed was dipped into tap water at normal temperature for 60 days to observe the condition of the film. The case where no abnormality was observed was rated by the symbol ".largecircle.".
Hot Water Resistance
A test strip on which a film was formed was dipped into hot water at 60.degree. C. for 14 days to observe the condition of the film. The case where no abnormality was observed is indicated by the symbol ".largecircle.".
Pollution Recuperative Characteristics
A mixed paste of carbon black/kerosene=1/2 (ratio by weight) was applied to a film of a test sample, which was allowed to stand at room temperature for 24 hours and was then washed with water using a sponge to observe the pollution condition of the film by visual inspection. The case where no contamination was observed is indicated by the symbol ".largecircle.".
Initial Transparency
A water-type dispersion composition was applied to a quartz plate with a thickness of 1 mm using an applicator so that the dried film thickness was 30 .mu.m. The quartz plate was dried at 80.degree. C. for 10 minutes to coat the quartz plate. The transmittance (%) of the coated quartz plate for light of a wave length of 400 nm was measured using an absorptiometer (U-3210, manufactured by Hitachi, Ltd.).
Transparency after Exposure to UV Light
The coated quartz plate used for the evaluation of the initial transparency was irradiated with UV light (310 nm wave length) at a dose of 0.47 W/m.sup.2 /nm at 60.degree. C. under saturated vapor pressure for 8 hours using a QUV (solar eye, FS-40 lamp, manufactured by Q Panel Co., Ltd.) and was then kept in the dark at 50.degree. C. for 4 hours. These steps were repeated so that the coated quartz plate was exposed to UV light for 300 hours in total. After that, the transmittance (%) of the coated quartz plate for light of a wave length of 400 nm was measured using an absorptiometer (U-3210, manufactured by Hitachi, Ltd.).
UV Light Absorption Coefficient before Exposure to UV Light
The coated quartz plate used for the evaluation of the initial transparency for light of a wave length of 360 nm was measured using an absorptiometer (U-3210, manufactured by Hitachi, Ltd.).
UV light absorption coefficient after exposure to UV light
The coated quartz plate used for the evaluation of the initial transparency was irradiated with UV light (310 nm wave length) at a dose of 0.47 W/m.sup.2 /nm at 60.degree. C. under saturated vapor pressure for 8 hours using a QUV (solar eye, FS-40 lamp, manufactured by Q Panel Co., Ltd.) and was then kept in the dark at 50.degree. C. for 4 hours. These steps were repeated so that the coated quartz plate was exposed to UV light for 300 hours in total. After that, the absorption coefficient (%) of the coated quartz plate for light of a wave length of 360 nm was measured using an absorptiometer (U-3210, manufactured by Hitachi, Ltd.).
Hydrophilicity
A film of a test sample was irradiated with light from a black light fluorescent lamp at a dose of 0.05 mW/cm.sup.2 for 5 hours. The water contact angle of the film was measured. It is understood that the lower the contact angle, the higher the resistance to contamination.

Each mixture prepared according to the formulation shown in Tables 8 and 9 using the water-type dispersion compositions 1-16 and 23-25 of the present invention and the comparative water-type dispersion composition i was kneaded using a sandmil to prepare a composition. 2% (as a solid) of aqueous dibutyltin dilaurate as a hardening agent was added to the composition and mixed to prepare a coating agent.
Mitieposealer (epoxy resin type sealer, manufactured by Dai Nippon Toryo Co., Ltd.) was applied to a slate plate (JIS A5043F) in an amount of 50 g/m.sup.2 as dry weight and dried. Each prepared coating agent was applied to the dried slate plate in an amount of 50 g/m.sup.2 as dry weight and heated at 120.degree. C. for 10 minutes to prepare a test piece. Incidentally, the coating agent of the comparative Example 1 gelled during the application since polyorganosiloxane of the water-type dispersion composition I could not be chemically combined with the vinyl polymer (ii-1) so that a test piece of the coating agent of the Comparative Example 1 could not be obtained.
The test piece prepared in the above manner was evaluated in various tests illustrated in Tables 8 and 9. The evaluation results are shown in Tables 8 and 9.
