Description

AQUEOUS, CURABLE COMPOSITION, COMPRISING DISPERSED URETDIONE PREPOLYMER, REACTANT AND AZOLATE
TECHNICAL FIELD
The invention relates to aqueous, curable compositions, which require low curing temperatures and can provide coatings on substrates upon curing. The invention also relates to a curing process of the aqueous, curable composition of the invention and the use of the compositions for coatings, adhesives and/or sealants.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
It is well known, that polyaddition compounds comprising uretdione groups function as crosslinkers for the preparation of polyurethane-based coatings. The crosslinking principle utilized in these crosslinkers is the thermal cleavage of the uretdione structures back into free isocyanate groups and the subsequent reaction thereof with a hydroxy-functional binder. A temperature of at least about 130°C is required for said thermal cleavage. Laas et al. (c.f. US 2004/0059082 Al) provided polyaddition compounds containing uretdione groups, obtainable by reacting uretdione polyisocyanates formed from diisocyanates having exclusively secondary- and/or tertiary-attached isocyanate groups with a molar fraction of isocyanurate structures, based on the sum of uretdione groups and isocyanurate groups, of not more than 10%, with compounds reactive towards isocyanates. Said uretdione polyisocyanates are prepared from diisocyanates, wherein the formation of the uretdione group is facilitated by oligomerization catalysts containing 1,2,3- or 1,2,4-triazolate structures in the anion. Curing of the powder coatings prepared from said polyaddition compounds of Laas et al. was also performed at high temperatures. Mazanek et al. (c.f. US 2007/0032594) contributed self-crosslinking polyurethane dispersions, wherein said dispersed polyurethanes comprise uretdione groups
Shaffer et al. (c.f. WO 2011/115669 A2) have successfully developed uretdione- based curing compositions capable of curing at low temperature of 20°C to 70°C. The temperature was lowered by introducing an amine derived catalyst into the curing composition. It was found, that if the curing compositions of Shaffer were applied as solutions or dispersions in a solvent, the solvent used should be inert. Selected organic solvents were suggested by Shaffer et al. being appropriate solvents for said low temperature curing method.
It is known, that uretdione groups and isocyanate moieties are prone to hydrolysis.
It was an object of the present invention to provide an aqueous, curable composition, which cures faster and/or cures at low temperature. Coatings based on said aqueous, curable composition should have excellent mechanical and optical properties. The coatings should be resistant against solvents, especially against water. The coatings can be applied on different kind of substrates, for example on textiles, plastic, glass, metal, wood, etc. The curable composition of this invention can also function as a base composition for an adhesive. The resulting coatings are preferably transparent.

In analogy to the definition of the term“polymer", the molecular structure of a prepolymer is formed by repeatedly linking more than two monomers of the same or different kind together. The prepolymer can participate in a subsequent formation of a polymer, which has a higher molecular weight than said prepolymer. The term“prepolymer” encompasses polymers, which are able to chemically react via at least one of its reactive groups, forming a repeating unit of a (preferably crosslinked) polymer. Therefore the term“prepolymer" encompasses as well self-crosslinking polymers with at least two different kinds of reactive groups, wherein said groups are able to chemically react among themselves, so that the prepolymer molecules are able to crosslink.
According to this invention, if not otherwise specified, the average molecular weight is defined as the number average molecular weight Mn. As molecular weight of polymers the number average molecular weight Mn is applied. Mn is determined via gel permeation chromatography (GPC at 23 °C) in tetrahydrofurane as the solvent. The measurement is performed as described in DIN 55672-1 (the DIN-version used was at the application date (or priority date if applicable) of the present invention, the latest version): "Gelpermeationschromatographie, Teil 1 - Tetrahydrofuran als Elutionsmittel" (SECurity GPC-System from PSS Polymer Service, flowrate 1,0 ml/min; columns: 2xPSS SDV linear M, 8x300 mm, 5 pm; RID-detector). Probes of polystyrene of known molecular weight were used for calibration. The calculation of the number average molecular weight was performed by software. Baseline values and evaluation threshold values were determined according to above referenced DIN 55672 Teil 1.
The term“low-molecular“ is defined to encompass a molecular weight up to 800 g/mol.
The term“high-molecular“ is defined to encompass a molecular weight above 800 g/mol.
An“organic compound11 contains at least one moiety, comprising a carbon- hydrogen covalent bond.
According to this application the term“aliphatic" is defined as non-aromatic hydrocarbyl groups being saturated or unsaturated. According to this application the term“araliphatic" is defined as hydrocarbyl moieties composed of a non-aromatic, as well as saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbyl group, which is directly bonded to an aromatic moiety.
According to this application the term "alicyclic" or "cycloaliphatic" are optionally substituted, carbocyclic or heterocyclic compounds or moieties, which are non-aromatic (like for example cycloalkanes, cycloalkenes or oxa-, thia-, aza- or thiazacycloalkanes). Particular examples are cyclohexyl groups, cyclopentyl groups, and their N- or O-heterocyclic derivatives like for example pyrimidine, pyrazine, tetrahydropyrane or tetrahydrofurane.
In case the groups or compounds are disclosed to be "optionally substituted" or
"substituted", suitable substituents
are -F, -Cl, -I, -Br, -OH, -OCH3, -OCH2CH3, -O-Isopropyl
or -O-nPropyl, -OCF3, -CF3, -S-Ci-e-Alkyl and/or (optionally via a hetero atom attached) a linear or branched, aliphatic and/or alicyclic structural unit with 1 to
12 carbon atoms, respectively functioning as a substitute for a carbon bound hydrogen atom of the molecule in question. Preferred substituents are halogen
(especially -F, -Cl), Ci-6-Alkoxy (especially methoxy and ethoxy), hydroxy, trifluoromethyl and trifluoromethoxy, respectively functioning as a substitute for a carbon bound hydrogen atom of the molecule in question.
In a formula illustrating the structure of a chemical moiety, a covalent bond of said formula marked with a * defines the covalent bond, which connects said illustrated moiety to the rest of a more complex molecular structure.
The term“transparent” preferably means that the coating (with a thickness of 45 pm) is capable of transmitting rays of visible light so bodies situated beyond or behind can be distinctly seen. Transparent coatings according to this invention exhibit a Haze-value < 20 (Haze measurement instrument: DIN EN ISO 2813 (the DIN-version used at the application date (or at the priority date if applicable) of the present invention at the latest version).

Said aqueous, curable composition comprises less organic solvents compared to conventional curing compositions. According to the invention, water is used in the composition as a component (preferably as the main component) of the liquid continuous phase of the dispersion. Replacement of organic solvents, especially of low-VOC compounds, by water leads to more ecologically friendly compositions. Preferred compositions according to the invention are characterized in that they comprise water in an amount of 10 to 85 wt.%, particularly preferred in an amount of 30 to 75 wt.%, most preferred in an amount of 50 to 70 wt.%, also preferred in an amount from 40 to 70 wt.%, most preferred in an amount of 60 to 70 wt.%, based on the weight of the composition respectively.
The aqueous, curable compositions of the invention have a preferred pH-value (20°C) of from pH 5 to pH 13, more preferred from pH 6 to pH 12, even more preferred from pH 7 to pH 9. Said reactant B of the composition comprises on average at least one Zerewitinoff-active group and can be optionally present. Zerewitinoff-active groups are able to react with uretdione groups. It is also possible that the uretdione prepolymer A reacts with itself, i.e., forms a self-curable composition when B is absent.

The least one uretdione prepolymer, comprising on average at least one uretdione group (and preferably at least one Zerewitinoff-active group), is preferably dispersed in said aqueous, liquid continuous phase. It is more preferred, when the dispersed uretdione prepolymer is suspended in the aqueous liquid.
In order to further improve the physiological compatibility, the composition of the invention is preferably substantially free of compounds comprising at least one isocyanate group. Due to the water present in the composition, the majority up to all isocyanate groups will hydrolyze. Preferably the content of the isocyanates groups (expressed as NCO, M.G. 42g/mol) is below 0.05 wt.-%. Particularly preferred, the composition of the invention is free of compounds comprising at least one isocyanate moiety. Unless expressly mentioned otherwise, NCO contents were determined volumetrically in accordance with DIN-EN ISO 11909 (the DIN- version used at the application date (or at the priority date if applicable) of the present invention at the latest version).
In a preferred embodiment, the composition comprises said uretdione prepolymer in a total amount of 1 to 50 wt.%, preferably 3 to 40 wt.% and most preferred 30 to 40 wt.%, based on the weight of the composition.
The mean weight average molecular weight Mw of the uretdione prepolymers (measured with GPC as described above, but with N,N-dimethylacetamide instead of tetrahydrofurane as solvent and calculated as Mw) is preferably in the range of 20,000 to 800,000 g/mol, particular preferred in the range of 100,000 to 500,000 g/mol.
The curing time is significantly reduced, if said uretdione prepolymer exhibits an acid number of at most 4 mg KOH/g, preferably at most 3.5 mg KOH/g, more preferably 3.0 mg KOH/g, most preferably at most 2.5 mg KOH/g (each determined according to DIN EN ISO 2114:2002-06), based on the total weight of the sample prepared to be used as initial compound to be tested in the determination according to DIN EN ISO 2114:2002-06. The unit of the acid number according to said DIN EN ISO 2114:2002-06 is the used amount of KOH in mg per g of said sample. The sample essentially consists (or consists) of 37 wt.% uretdione prepolymer and water.
The acid number of the respective uretdione prepolymer sample was always determined according to DIN EN ISO 2114:2002-06. Instead of a mixture of toluene and ethanol as described in DIN EN ISO 2114:2002-06, a mixture of acetone and ethanol in a weight ratio of 2: 1 was used.
Related to the weight of the amount of uretdione prepolymer itself, the acid number according to this invention is preferably at most 10.8 mg KOH/g, more preferred at most 9.5 mg KOH/g, particularly preferred 8.1 mg KOH/g, most preferred at most 6.8 mg KOH/g.

The determination is still performed by using above mentioned sample as initial compound for determination of the acid number ( vide supra).
A preferred composition comprises at least one uretdione prepolymer, which exhibits a zeta potential of -20 mV or higher.
The zeta potential of the uretdione prepolymer is determined from a dispersion of uretdione prepolymer in water as the sample. One drop of a preformed dispersion of the uretdione prepolymer is highly diluted with 20 ml of demineralized water and homogenized by stirring, leading to the sample. Subsequently the zeta potential is determined at 23°C in the Malvern Nanosizer ZS90 instrument (Malvern Instruments, Herrenberg, Germany). The given values of the zeta potential are always related to said sample of the dispersed uretdione polymer. Preferably, said uretdione prepolymer is a nonionic prepolymer.
It was also found, that the curing time was improved by introducing hydrophilic groups as grafts or terminus into the structure of said uretdione prepolymer. For the reasons outlined before, it is again preferred, when said hydrophilic groups do not comprise an ionic moiety. A preferred uretdione prepolymer comprises grafts with at least one hydrophilic group selected from polyoxyalkylene ether capped with methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl, polyethylene oxide capped with one methyl group, polyethylene oxide capped with one ethyl, propyl, or butyl group. Particularly preferred uretdione prepolymers comprise additionally on average at least one *-0-(CH2CH20)n-R moiety, in which R denotes a (Ci-C4)-alkyl group and n denotes a number from 3 to 100, n denotes preferably a number from 5 to 70, more preferably from 7 to 55. R is preferably a methyl group.
Said hydrophilic groups can be introduced into the structure of said uretdione prepolymer by compound A2, which is preferably a hydrophylizing agent, more preferably a nonionic one. Suitable nonionically hydrophilizing agents are, for example, polyoxyalkylene ethers which have isocyanate-reactive groups, such as hydroxy, amino or thiol groups. Suitable examples are monohydroxy-functional polyalkylene oxide polyether alcohols having, on statistical average, 5 to 70, preferably 7 to 55, ethylene oxide units per molecule, as are accessible in a manner known per se by alkoxylation of suitable starter molecules (e.g. in Ullmanns Encyclopadie der technischen Chemie [Ullmanns encyclopaedia of industrial chemistry], 4th edition, Volume 19, Verlag Chemie, Weinheim pp. 31- 38). These are either pure polyethylene oxide ethers or mixed polyalkylene oxide ethers, where they contain at least 30 mol%, preferably at least 40 mol%, ethylene oxide units, based on all of the alkylene oxide units present. Particularly preferred nonionic hydrophilizing agents are monofunctional mixed polyalkylene oxide polyethers, which have 40 to 100 mol% ethylene oxide units and 0 to 60 mol% propylene oxide units. Suitable starter molecules for such nonionic hydrophilizing agents are in particular saturated monoalcohols, such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n- butanol, isobutanol, sec-butanol, the isomeric pentanols, hexanols, octanols and nonanols, n-decanol, n-dodecanol, n-tetradecanol, n-hexadecanol, n-octadecanol, cyclohexanol, the isomeric methylcyclohexanols or hydroxymethylcyclohexane, 3 -ethyl-3 -hydroxymethyloxetane or tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, diethylene glycol monoalkyl ethers, such as, for example, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, unsaturated alcohols, such as allyl alcohol, 1,1-dimethylallyl alcohol or oleyl alcohol, aromatic alcohols, such as phenol, the isomeric cresols or methoxyphenols, araliphatic alcohols, such as benzyl alcohol, anisyl alcohol or cinnamyl alcohol, secondary monoamines, such as dimethylamine, diethylamine, dipropylamine, diisopropylamine, dibutylamine, bis(2-ethylhexyl)amine, N- methyl- and N-ethylcyclohexylamine or dicyclohexylamine, and also heterocyclic secondary amines, such as morpholine, pyrrolidine, piperidine or lH-pyrazole. Preferred starter molecules are saturated monoalcohols of the type specified above. Particular preference is given to using diethylene glycol monobutyl ether or n-butanol as starter molecules. Alkylene oxides suitable for the alkoxylation reaction are in particular ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, which can be used in the alkoxylation reaction in any desired order or else in a mixture. Another preferred group of hydrophilization agents are polymers with two OH groups and a polyalkylene oxide side group, e.g. polyether-1, 3-Diols. Commercially available examples are, Ymer™ N120 (CAS number: 131483-27- 7) by Perstorp Holding AB, Malmo, Sweden and Tegomer® D 3403 (Evonik Industries AG, Essen, DE). The uretdione prepolymers exhibit an acid number of at most 4 mg KOH/g (preferably at most 3.5 mg KOH/g, particularly preferred 3.0 mg KOH/g, most preferred 2.5 mg KOH/g) and comprising at least one uretdione group: additionally on average at least one Zerewitinoff-active group, particularly preferred at least two hydroxyl groups and at least one *-0-(CH2CH20)n-R moiety, in which R denotes a hydrogen atom or a (Ci-C4)-alkyl group and n denotes a number from 3 to 100, n denotes preferably a number from 5 to 70, more preferably from 7 to 55. R is preferably a methyl group. The uretdione prepolymer comprises at least one uretdione group. It is preferred, that the uretdione prepolymer comprises at least two uretdione groups. Preferred uretdione prepolymers of this invention are self-curing prepolymers. During heat induced curing, the uretdione prepolymer will (self-)crosslink via reaction of said uretdione groups with said Zerewitinoff-active groups. The more uretdione groups and Zerewitinoff-active groups are on average comprised in said uretdione prepolymer (or said reactant), the better.
A“Zerewitinoff-active group” is defined as a functional group, comprising at least one Zerewitinoff-active hydrogen atom, being an acidic hydrogen atom or active hydrogen atom.
The abundance of such an active hydrogen atom is determined by a known reaction of the compound in question with a Grignard reagent. The amount of Zerewitinoff-active hydrogen atoms is typically determined by measuring the amount of released methane gas, and subsequently calculated in consideration of the stoichiometry of the following reaction equation, wherein for each mole of active hydrogen atoms of the compound in question (R-XH) one mole of methyl magnesium bromide (CH3-MgBr) is used and one mole of methane is released:
CHs-MgBr + R-XH ®· CH4 + Mg (XR)Br Zerewitinoff-active groups are in particular C-H active organic groups, -OH, -SH, -NH2 or -NHR' wherein R' denotes an organic moiety. Preferably Zerewitinoff- active groups are selected from -OH, -SH, -NH2 or -NHR' wherein R' denotes an organic moiety. Especially preferred, the Zerewitinoff-active groups according to the invention are selected from -OH.

For preparation of said dispersed uretdione prepolymer it is particularly preferred to use the uretdione polyisocyanate A1 in relation to said compound A2 in a weight ratio from 1 : 1 to 1 : 32.3.
The uretdione polyisocyanates A1 are typically obtained by catalytic dimerization of polyisocyanates by methods, which are known in the art.

Examples of dimerization catalysts are: trialkylphosphines, aminophosphines and aminopyridines such as dimethylaminopyridines, and tris(dimethylamino)phosphine, as well as any other dimerization catalyst known to those skilled in the art.
The result of the dimerization reaction depends, in a manner known to the skilled person, on the catalyst used, on the process conditions and on the polyisocyanates employed. In particular, it is possible for products to be formed, which contain on average more than one uretdione group per molecule, the number of uretdione groups being subject to a distribution. Preferred uretdione compounds are prepared from the catalytic dimerization of HDI and/or IPDI.

A preferred curable composition according to this invention comprises at least one uretdione prepolymer, which is prepared by the reaction of at least one uretdione polyisocyanate A1 as defined above with a compound A2 selected from at least one polyol.
The term "polyol" is meant to include materials having an average of two or more primary hydroxyl groups per molecule. The polyols useful in the practice can be either low or high molecular weight materials and in general will have average hydroxyl values as determined by ASTM designation E-222-67, Method B, between about 1000 and 2, and preferably between about 500 and 2. The polyols include low molecular weight diols, triols and higher alcohols and polymeric polyols such as polyester polyols, polyether polyols, polyurethane polyols and hydroxy-containing (meth)acrylic polymers.
Said at least one polyol as compound A2 is preferably selected from polyester polyol, polyether polyol, polyurethane polyol, polycarbonate polyol, polyacrylate polyol, polymethacrylate polyol, C2-Cio-hydrocarbon with at least two hydroxyl groups, or mixtures thereof.
The low molecular weight diols, triols and higher alcohols useful in the instant invention are known in the art. For the most part they are monomeric and have hydroxy values of 200 and above, usually within the range of 1500 to 200. Such materials include aliphatic polyols, particularly alkylene polyols containing from 2 to 18 carbon atoms. Examples include ethylene glycol, 1 ,4-butanediol, 1 ,6- hexanediol; cycloaliphatic polyols such as cyclohexane dimethanol. Examples of triols and higher alcohols include trimethylol propane and pentaerythritol. Also useful are polyols containing either linkages such as diethylene glycol and triethylene glycol.
The most suitable polymeric polyols are those having hydroxyl values less than 200, such as 10 to 180. Examples of polymeric polyols include polyalkylene ether polyols, polyester polyols including hydroxyl-containing polycaprolactones, hydroxy-containing (meth)acrylic polymers, polycarbonate polyols and polyurethane polyols.
Examples of polyether polyols are poly(oxytetramethylene) glycols, poly(oxyethylene) glycols, poly(oxypropylene) glycols, and the reaction product of ethylene glycol with a mixture of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide.
Also useful are polyether polyols formed from the oxyalkylation of various polyols, for example, glycols such as ethylene glycol, 1,4-butane glycol, 1,6- hexanediol, and the like, or higher polyols, such as trimethylol propane, pentaerythritol and the like. One commonly utilized oxyalkylation method is reacting a polyol with an alkylene oxide, for example, ethylene oxide in the presence of an acidic or basic catalyst.
Polyester polyols can also be used as a polymeric polyol component in the practice of the invention. The polyester polyols can be prepared by the polyesterification of organic polycarboxylic acids or anhydrides thereof with organic polyols. Usually, the polycarboxylic acids and polyols are aliphatic or aromatic dibasic acids and diols. The diols which are usually employed in making the polyester include alkylene glycols, such as ethylene glycol and butylene glycol, neopentyl glycol and other glycols such as cyclohexane dimethanol, caprolactone diol (for example, the reaction product of caprolactone and ethylene glycol), polyether glycols, for example, poly(oxytetramethylene) glycol and the like. However, other diols of various types and, as indicated, polyols of higher functionality can also be utilized. Such higher polyols preferably include, for example, trimethylol propane, trimethylol ethane, pentaerythritol, and the like, as well as higher molecular weight polyols such as those produced by oxyalkylating low molecular weight polyols. A particularly preferred example of such high molecular weight polyol is the reaction product of 20 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of trimethylol propane.
The acid component of the polyester polyols consists primarily of monomeric carboxylic acids or anhydrides having 2 to 18 carbon atoms per molecule. Among the acids which are useful are phthalic acid, isophthalic acid, terephthalic acid, tetrahydrophthalic acid, hexahydrophthalic acid, adipic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, maleic acid, glutaric acid, chlorendic acid, tetrachlorophthalic acid and other dicarboxylic acids of varying types. Also, there may he employed higher polycarboxylic acids such as trimellitic acid and tricarballylic acid (where acids are referred to above, it is understood that the anhydrides of those acids which form anhydrides can be used in place of the acid). Also, lower alkyl esters of acids such as dimethyl glutarate can be used. Besides polyester polyols formed from polybasic acids and polyols, polycaprolactone-type polyesters can also be employed. These products are formed from the reaction of a cyclic lactone such as e-caprolactone with a polyol with primary hydroxyls such as those mentioned above. Such products are described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,169,945 to Hostettler. ln addition to the polyether polyols and polyester polyols, hydroxy-containing (meth)acrylic polymers or (meth)acrylic polyols can be used as the polyol component.
Among the (meth)acrylic polymers are polymers of about 2 to 20 percent by weight primary hydroxy-containing vinyl monomers such as hydroxyalkyl acrylate and methacrylate having 2 to 6 carbon atoms in the alkyl group and 80 to 98 percent by weight of other ethylenically unsaturated copolymerizable materials such as alkyl (meth)acrylates; the percentages by weight being based on the total weight of the monomeric charge.
Examples of suitable hydroxy alkyl (meth)acrylates are hydroxyl ethyl and hydroxy butyl (meth)acrylate. Examples of suitable alkyl acrylates and (meth)acrylates are lauryl methacrylate, 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate and n-butyl acrylate.
Besides the acrylates and methacrylates, other copolymerizable monomers which can be copolymerized with the hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylates are ethylenically unsaturated materials such as monoolefmic and diolefmic hydrocarbons, halogenated monoolefmic and diolefmic hydrocarbons, unsaturated esters of organic and inorganic acids, amides and esters of unsaturated acids, nitriles and unsaturated acids and the like. Examples of such monomers include styrene, 1,3- butadiene, acrylamide, acrylonitrile, a-methyl styrene, a-methyl chlorostyrene, vinyl butyrate, vinyl acetate, alkyl chloride, divinyl benzene, diallyl itaconate, triallyl cyanurate and mixtures thereof. Usually these other ethylenically unsaturated materials are used in admixture with the above-mentioned acrylates and methacrylates.

Of particular interest is the use of the compositions of the invention for preparing coatings on substrates of all kinds. Such coatings are preferably protective and decorative coatings such as exterior coatings on substrates of all kinds, for example buildings, fences, chipboard panels, and as a coating on stone, concrete or metal, for the coating of vehicles, for example, such as cars, railways or aircraft. The compositions may likewise be used in automotive OEM finishing and automotive refinish, and also for the finishing of car bodies, plastic parts for cars and body-mounted car parts.
The compositions of the invention can also be used as sealants or adhesives.
Another object of the present invention is a Process for curing a liquid composition on a substrate, comprising
a) applying on a substrate an aqueous, curable composition according to the present invention; and
b) exposing the deposited aqueous, curable composition to a temperature of 60°C to 160°C to cure said deposited curing composition.
Using known coating processes, the aqueous, curable composition may be applied uniformly to a substrate, for example by spin coating, dip coating, knife coating, curtain coating, brushing, spraying— especially electrostatic spraying— and reverse roll coating. Said coating compositions can be used as a primer, color coat or as a clearcoat.
The previously described preferred embodiments of said aqueous, curable composition are of course also preferably used in the process of this invention.
In a special embodiment of the process, prior to step a), the aqueous, curable composition of step a) is prepared from an aqueous, curable concentrate, comprising i) 25 to 50 wt.-%, preferably 32 to 45 wt-%, of at least one uretdione prepolymer A,
and
ii) 0.1 to 10 wt-%, preferably 0.3 to 5 wt.-%, of at least one azolate- compound C,
by diluting said concentrate with a diluent, yielding the aqueous, curable composition used in step a)
comprising, related to the weight of said aqueous, curable composition of step a) i) 12.5 to 42.2 wt.-%, preferably 27 to 38 wt.-%, of at least one uretdione prepolymer A,
and
ii) 0.05 to 8.5 wt.-%, preferably 0.25 to 3 wt.-%, of at least one azolate- compound.
The choice of diluent and the concentration depend predominantly on the choice of coating ingredients and the coating process. The diluent should be inert. In other words, it should not undergo any chemical reaction with the components and should be capable of being removed after the coating operation in the curing process. Surprisingly it was found, that especially water is an appropriate diluent. Examples of suitable diluents are water, ketones, ethers and esters, such as methyl ethyl ketone, isobutyl methyl ketone, cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, N- methylpyrrolidone, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, 2-methoxyethanol, 2-ethoxyethanol, l-methoxy-2 -propanol, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, ethyl acetate, n-butyl acetate and ethyl 3-ethoxypropionate. It is particularly preferred to use water as the most abundant diluent.
It is particularly preferred, that the deposited aqueous curable composition coalesces to form a coating. The coating thickness upon drying is typically from 0.5 to 46 pm. If the coating is a base coat, the coating thickness upon drying is preferably 15 to 20 pm. If the coating is a top coat, the coating thickness upon drying is preferably 45 to 50 pm. The deposited aqueous, curable composition is preferably exposed to a temperature of 60 to 120°C, preferably 80 to l00°C, to cure said deposited curing composition.
According to the process of the invention, the deposited aqueous, curable composition is preferably exposed to said temperature for a period of 20 to 45 minutes to cure said deposited curing composition. It is particularly preferred to expose the deposited aqueous, curable composition to a temperature of 60 to 120°C, preferably 80 to 100°C, for a period of 20 to 45 minutes.
It is also preferred to cure said deposited, aqueous curable composition by preheating the deposited, curable composition to a temperature of 30°C to below 60°C for a period of 2 to 10 minutes. Said preheating is particularly preferred followed by increasing the temperature to 60 to 160°C (preferably to 60 to 120°C, most preferred to 80 to 100°C) and exposing for another period of 20 to 45 minutes at said increased temperature. The preheating step is advantageous, since the amount of water is reduced in the deposited, curable composition prior to curing. The subsequent curing reaction at 60°C to 160°C is thereby enhanced.
Preferably, the cured aqueous curable composition forms a crosslinked film on the substrate that shows excellent mechanical and optical properties and a high resistance against chemicals and solvents.
EXAMPLES
The present invention is illustrated by reference to examples, although these are not to be understood as being limiting. Unless stated otherwise, all of the quantitative data, fractions and percentages are based on the weight and the total amount relates the total weight of the compositions.
1. Methods and materials:
All percentages refer, unless stated otherwise, to the weight.
1.1 Pendulum hardness:
The pendulum hardness by the Konig method was measured on a glass plate according to DIN EN ISO 1522:2007-04.
1.2 Solvent resistance and water resistance :
The cured coating were tested for resistance to xylene, l-methoxy-2-propyl acetate, ethyl acetate, acetone and water. A piece of cotton wool soaked in the test substance was placed on the coating surface and covered with a watch glass. After the indicated exposure time, the cotton was removed, the exposed area was dried and examined immediately. The evaluation of the softening or discoloration of the coating surface was carried out according to DIN EN ISO 4628-1 : 2016-07.
0 unchanged, i.e., no discernible change
1 very light, i.e., only visible change, e.g., slight color change
2 identifiable, i.e., clearly recognizable change, e.g., noticeable softening when scratching with the fingernail
3 clearly noticeable change, e.g., medium color change, possibly small blistering 4 strong change, e.g., strong blistering
5 Coating completely destroyed without an external influence
1.3 Infrared measurements:
The uretdione ring opening was characterized by an FT-IR spectrometer (tensor II with Platinum ATR unit (diamond crystal) from Broker). The spectra were recorded in a wave number range of (4000-400) cm 1. The maximum of the uretdione peak (about 1760 cm ) was evaluated. Peak heights to comparative systems were compared with an initial value set to 100% (uretdione film without catalyst, dried at room temperature) and variations relative to this (ratio formation). Uretdione peak height of films cured for 30 min at 180 °C were set to 0%.
When measuring on an ATR crystal, the intensity of the spectrum depends on the occupation of die crystal surface. Since a comparable coverage of the crystal surface cannot be ensured in the case of different measurements by the sample preparation, a correction of this effect must be made for the ratio formation by normalizing all spectra on the peak of the CH stretching vibration (wave number range (3000-2800 cm4). In the case of the evaluation of peak heights as described above, a baseline correction of the spectra is additionally carried out.
1.4 Oscillation measurement:
Rheometer: Rheometrics ARES. The measurements are made with the exclusion of oxygen (convection oven with nitrogen). The sample preparation takes place in Teflon-Petry dishes. From the dried films (24h room temperature in air) circular samples with a 14 mm diameter are punched out. The rheometer oven is previously heated to the measurement temperature (e.g. 160 ° C). A few seconds before the measurement, the furnace is opened, the cut-out sample inserted between the 14mm diameter circular measuring plates, the furnace closed and the measuring plates collapsed until the sample height fills the measuring gap and a clear increase in the normal force was observed. Directly thereafter, the time measurement is started and the storage module G' is determined as a function of the measurement time at a constant sample temperature. Measuring frequency: 1 Hz. 1.5 Catalysts:

The plates were dried at room temperature for 5 minutes and then baked at various temperatures for 30 minutes. The obtained films were evaluated at 23°C at 50% relative humidity in terms of pendulum hardness, water resistance and solvent resistance and an IR spectrum was recorded. When possible, an oscillation measurement was carried out as well.
The following table shows the coating properties of the corresponding films:
Table 1: Results of IR-Study, hardness and resistance determinations O
The curing reaction can be monitored by observation of the ring opening of the uretdione. With triazolate compounds in comparison to other O catalysts, uretdione peak almost vanishes. Also pendulum hardness increases with the effectiveness of catalyst. The required resistance to xylene 00 should be to be at least 2-3, resistance against water shall be at least 1. Both resistances can only be obtained with triazolate catalysts. o o
