Abstract
The invention discloses anti-sagging polyurethane white finish. Main paint of the polyurethane white finish comprises the following components in parts by weight: 35-50 parts of short oil alkyd resin, 40-55 parts of titanium dioxide slurry with mass concentration of 60%, 5-8 parts of talcum powder, 0.1-0.5 part of polyether modified silicone oil leveling agent, 0.5-5 parts of fumed silica and 1-2 parts of solvent. Through the mixing of the components, the polyurethane white finish provided by the invention has proper surface tension and avoids frequent sagging and base exposure; and moreover, under the effect of surface tension, the paint film can be converted from an uneven surface into an even one.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of polyurethane paint, relate in particular to a kind of white polyurethane lacquer and main lacquer component thereof that does not produce the sagging phenomenon.
Background technology
The polyurethane paint paint film is tough, and gloss is plentiful, strong adhesion, and water proof and wearable, good corrosion resistance are widely used as the fields such as high-class woodenware coatings for furniture, metal coating material, electronic paint, speciality coating.
In the furniture lacquer market, the PU lacquer still accounts for main position at home, and wherein white series product occupation rate is the highest, and wherein, double-component polyurethane paint is most widely used.Double-component polyurethane paint generally is comprised of hydroxy-containing resin (main lacquer) and isocyanate prepolymer (solidifying agent), and in construction process, main lacquer and isocyanate prepolymer crosslinking reaction obtain polyurethane film.Cause drying varniss slow because reaction process is long; therefore, be easy to occur coating with lacquer the liquid downwards vestige of trickling, i.e. sagging phenomenon; especially be the easier generation in vertical surface and edges and corners; therefore, it is show-through after punching because of polishing that the corner often can be run into by Furniture Factory when constructing operation, and convex surface paint easily produces behind the construction finish paint show-through because tension force is low; sagging appears in the facade spraying; particularly winter temperature is low, and the slower phenomenon of product when spraying surface drying is more obvious, greatly reduces working efficiency and product quality.。
Therefore, in order to prevent the sagging phenomenon, usually need in polyurethane paint, add thixotropic agent, the first thixotropic agent is mineral filler, such as calcium carbonate, wilkinite, colloidal silica etc., the second thixotropic agent is organic compound, such as hydrogenated castor oil, aliphatic amide wax, tetrafluoroethylene etc.These thixotropic agent in use must add in a large number, with the increase sag resistance, so its apparent viscosity increase in applying process of urethane, be unfavorable for filming, and the polyurethane paint that contains these thixotropic agent is stored common poor stability; The third thixotropic agent is aminated compounds, and such as polyoxyalkylene polyamines, aliphatics cycloalkanes diamines etc., thixotropy needs several seconds even several minutes but polyisocyanates and amine are mixed into generation, in the high pressure application situation of the working efficiency of having relatively high expectations, does not possess practicality.
As seen, still need a kind of polyurethane paint that can reduce as far as possible or eliminate the sagging phenomenon.
