2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a slurry paint prepared by a phase inversion method has been known as an aqueous dispersion paint. The preparation of slurry paint by the phase inversion method involves removing the organic solvent from a solvent-type paint using a water-soluble organic solvent to form paint resin particles, and then dispersing the paint resin particles in water to form a slurry paint. Technology. In this technique, a solvent-type paint is prepared, a solution-type paint is forcibly emulsified in water to remove an organic solvent component, and a solid paint resin particle is formed by removing the organic solvent component. It had to be dispersed in water, that is, a number of steps were required, and further, it was necessary to recover the organic solvent from the water.

In the method of directly removing an organic solvent from a solution type paint, when the removal is performed by heating and reducing the pressure, the concentration of the nonvolatile components and the concentration of the resin component become high near the end point of the removal. The viscosity was increased by the resin component, so that a great amount of energy was required to completely remove the organic solvent component. Another problem is that the coating resin obtained by removing the organic solvent is in a lump, and it is essential to finely pulverize the resin in order to stably disperse it in water. The problem that accompanies this pulverization is that the smaller the particle size of the target resin fine powder, the lower the energy efficiency required for the fine pulverization and the special technique required for collecting the fine powder. It is to become.

[0004] Further, the aqueous dispersion paint of the above technique is generally a paint stabilized using a thickener obtained by neutralizing a polycarboxylic acid with ammonia or amines.
In such paints, when applied to an object to be coated and dried, those neutralizing agents in the paint are liable to evaporate and scatter around the surface of the paint resin particles, and as a result, the polycarboxylic acid has its carboxyl group. Hydrogen bonding by the groups results in a strong film covering the surface of the coating resin particles. Since this coating has poor melt softening properties due to heat and has no tackiness, the coating resin particles are melted and fused, thereby hindering the formation of the coating when forming the coating. For this reason, cracks occurred in the coating film during film formation and smoothness was insufficient. As a countermeasure, a method of neutralizing with a non-scattering neutralizing agent such as caustic soda has been proposed in order to prevent the neutralizing agent from scattering. However, this neutralizer is excellent in terms of preventing scattering and forming a coating film, however, since a strong base remains in the coating film, the neutralizing agent is inferior in coating film performance, and the water resistance of the coating film is poor. Poor results in water resistance test, moisture resistance test, salt spray test, etc.
That is, only low performance could be exhibited.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail. In order to form a coating film, the aqueous dispersion paint used in the present invention is required to heat-soften or melt the resin component of the coating resin particles by heating after being applied to form a uniform coating film. . For this reason, it is necessary that the softening temperature of the resin component which is a component of the coating film is 10 to 250 ° C. A more preferred softening temperature is 30 to 200 ° C.

When the softening temperature of the resin component is lower than 10 ° C., the coating resin particles in the aqueous dispersion coating tend to agglomerate in the aqueous medium even at the ordinary storage temperature of the aqueous dispersion coating. . The reason is that the diameter of the paint resin particles in the aqueous dispersion paint is 100 to 1000 times larger than the diameter of the paint resin particles such as the emulsion paint. Is significantly smaller than gravity. The smaller the average particle size of the coating resin particles in the aqueous dispersion paint, the more stable the aqueous dispersion paint can be, even with a resin component having a low softening temperature. However, in this case, since the total surface area of the coating resin particles in the aqueous dispersion coating material becomes large, it is necessary to use a large amount of a wetting agent such as a surfactant to stably disperse the coating resin particles in the aqueous medium. Becomes Therefore, in such a case, the performance of the obtained coating film, such as water resistance and gloss, is reduced.

When the softening temperature of the resin component is higher than 250 ° C., heat curing for forming a coating film is required.
Temperatures above 0 ° C are required, and at such high temperatures the coatings tend to turn yellow and the coatings tend to be oxidized by air and lose flexibility. As a special example of a method for preventing such a phenomenon, there is a method in which a film is formed in an inert gas atmosphere such as carbon dioxide gas. It is effective when forming a film using a resin or a paint using a high-molecular fluorine resin. However, in this case, an extra device for forming such an inert gas atmosphere is required.

In order to disperse and stabilize the coating resin particles containing these coating film components in an aqueous medium, it is desirable to include a surfactant or an aqueous thickening stabilizer in the aqueous dispersion coating. Conventionally, these additives have been uniformly dissolved in an aqueous medium, into which fine powder of paint resin particles has been introduced, mixed, and further dispersed to form a slurry paint. However, in a method in which a surfactant or an aqueous thickening stabilizer is dissolved in an aqueous medium, coarse particles are put therein, and wet pulverization is performed to form a slurry paint, paint resin particles are used at the beginning and end of wet pulverization. The concentration of the surfactant or the water-based thickening stabilizer adsorbed on the surface varies. In particular, at the end point of wet pulverization where the total surface area of each coating resin particle increases, probably because the surfactant and the water-based thickening stabilizer adsorbed on the coating resin particle surface become thin, The tendency to agglomerate becomes significant.

In producing the aqueous dispersion paint used in the present invention, preferably, a part or all of these desired surfactants and water-based thickening stabilizers are mixed together with the constituents of the coating film and melt-kneaded. By mixing, they are uniformly dispersed in the coating resin. When the paint resin is cooled and solidified and then coarsely crushed, and the coarse particles are wet-pulverized in an aqueous dispersion medium, the surface of the newly formed paint resin particles formed by the pulverization is constantly uniformly coated with a surfactant and an aqueous thickening stabilizer. As they appear, the paint resin particles become hydrophilic. As a result, even if the paint resin particles are finely wet-pulverized to increase the surface area, the wettability and the thickening stability of the paint resin particles are kept constant. Furthermore, as the coating resin particles become finer, they usually tend to aggregate, but in the case of coating resin particles containing a surfactant or an aqueous thickening stabilizer, the surface characteristics of the coating resin particles are always as described above. Because it is constant and uniform, the coating resin particles are stably dispersed in the aqueous dispersion coating.

The surfactant and the water-based thickening stabilizer which can be contained in the coating resin particles are those commonly used in the art. Usable surfactants include ordinary anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, and the like. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, since part or all of the surfactant is used by being contained in the coating resin particles, it does not react with the resin component or the curing agent constituting the coating film, and the crosslinking reaction of those resins is performed. It is preferable to use one that does not inhibit, that is, a nonionic surfactant. However, the resin component does not react at all during the formation of the coating film, and is used in the case of a type of coating that can be melted and formed simply by heating the resin component, or depending on the type of reaction of the resin at the time of forming the coating film. There is no restriction on the type of surfactant.

In the case where the aqueous dispersion paint is an aqueous dispersion paint mainly composed of an acrylic resin comprising a reaction system of a glycidyl group-containing acrylic resin and a dibasic acid, when a polycarboxylic acid is used as an aqueous thickening stabilizer, The neutralizer amine is consumed by reacting with the glycidyl group in the acrylic resin. As a result, the viscosity of the aqueous dispersion paint tends to decrease, and the effect of the water-based thickening stabilizer tends to decrease, and the stability of the paint tends to be lost. To make matters worse, the glycidyl group, which is a functional group in the acrylic resin, tends to be ring-opened and does not contribute to the crosslinking reaction when forming a coating film. as a result,
In some cases, the strength of the coating film is insufficient, and the gloss and corrosion resistance of the coating film are insufficient.

It is preferable to mix and mix the various raw materials using these mixing apparatuses and make them as homogeneous as possible. However, when the total amount of the various raw materials is small, the various raw materials are simply mixed in a bag. In the next melt-kneading step, it can be made homogeneous. In particular, in this mixing and blending step, a part or all of a surfactant or a thickening stabilizer which functions to easily disperse the coating resin particles in an aqueous medium, particularly a nonionic surfactant or a nonionic thickening stabilizer is used. If added, the newly formed pulverized surface of the coating resin particles in the subsequent wet pulverization step becomes evenly hydrophilic, so that it is easy to prepare an aqueous dispersion coating.

As a device used for the melting and kneading, there are a roll mill, a screw kneader, a Mahler kneader and the like. In particular, roll mills and screw kneaders are particularly preferred in terms of workability and ease of handling, and that after kneading, the kneaded material can be quickly discharged from the apparatus and cooled. In the case of a crosslinked aqueous dispersion paint, a curing agent is contained in the paint resin particles, and is uniformly mixed in the present melt kneading step, but at this time, the resin component is heated to a softening temperature or higher. Therefore, if the residence time during melt-kneading becomes longer, a part of the resin component reacts with the curing agent, and as a result, it does not become smooth when forming a coating film, or a defect of insufficient gloss occurs. Tend. Therefore, a device that supplies the above-mentioned composition from one side and discharges the homogenized product continuously and quickly from the other side is preferable.

Next, the process proceeds to the step (c), that is, a step of obtaining the coarse particles by crushing the homogenized product after cooling and solidifying it.
In the crushing process, the homogenized paint resin produced in the melt-kneading process in the previous stage is cooled and solidified as it is to form a lump, so that the lump can be easily processed in the next wet crushing process. This is a pretreatment for crushing into coarse particles. Therefore, if the agglomerate is smaller than the maximum size (particle size) that can be accepted by the wet mill, the crushing step is not always necessary. Examples of the apparatus for crushing a lump include a ring roll mill, an edge runner, a roll crusher, a disintegrator, a hammer crusher, an impeller breaker, a gyratory crusher,

Next, the step (d), that is, the step of wet-grinding the coarse particles in an aqueous dispersion medium to obtain an aqueous dispersion containing coating resin particles having an average particle diameter of 10 μm or less will be described. First, a required amount of water is prepared in a tank for receiving the aqueous dispersion paint. If necessary, a surfactant or a thickening stabilizer to wet the coating resin particles in the water, preferably a nonionic surfactant or a nonionic thickening stabilizer,

When the wet pulverization is carried out intermittently, the coarse particles obtained in the preceding stage are once collected in a paint receiving tank and then sent to the wet pulverization step. When the coarse particles are once collected in the paint receiving tank as described above, the coarse particles have a large particle diameter, and thus easily settle. For this reason, it is necessary to constantly stir the inside of the paint receiving tank, or to impart fluidity by stirring before sending to the wet pulverization step.

For this reason, as described below, it is preferable to treat as continuously as possible and wet-pulverize, but this does not limit the present invention at all. When performing wet grinding continuously, an inlet for the coarse particles obtained in the preceding stage is provided at the entrance side of the circulation path. The coarse particles captured here may enter the wet pulverizer after being mixed in the aqueous medium by their own weight, or may be taken into the wet pulverizer after being wetted by any stirring mixer. .

What is important in these cases is that a sufficient amount of aqueous medium can be circulated in the wet mill to sufficiently cool the apparatus and transport the finely ground particles. In the initial stage after the commencement of pulverization, the concentration of the coating resin particles in the circulating aqueous medium is low, and therefore the viscosity of the coating resin particle-containing aqueous medium is low. When wet grinding of coarse particles proceeds and the circulation of the aqueous medium is repeated, the concentration of the coating resin particles in the circulating aqueous medium increases, and circulation and cooling gradually become difficult. If the circulation of the aqueous medium is stopped, there is a danger that the coarse particles supplied into the circulating aqueous medium and the circulated paint resin particles are melted by the pulverizing energy in the wet pulverizer and adhere to the inner surface of the apparatus. .

Next, an example of a wet pulverizer that can be used in this wet pulverization step will be described. Usable wet grinding machines include a disc grinder, a tower mill, a ball mill, a vibration mill, an edge runner, a roll mill, and the like. In a wet mill using a dispersed media such as a tower mill, a ball mill, and a vibration mill, if the size of the coarse particles to be supplied is larger than the median particle diameter, the efficiency of the wet mill is significantly reduced. Therefore, in the case of a wet pulverizer using a dispersed media, it is desirable to supply coarse particles sufficiently smaller than the particle diameter of the media. A wet grinder of the type in which coarse particles are crushed by a rotating body such as a disc grinder or a roll mill can grind easily even large coarse particles, but the circulation amount of the aqueous medium to be wetted is insufficient, If it is partially biased, the coating resin particles tend to fuse due to heat generation.

As the operation mode of the wet mill, it is easy to control the operation while maintaining the coating resin particle concentration at a low concentration, and therefore, if necessary, a centrifugal filter, a centrifugal separator, a decanter or the like may be used. It is preferable to adjust the concentration of the coating resin particles. Regarding the wet pulverization process, the coating resin particles can be passed through a wet pulverizer several times until they reach a certain particle size, or the coating resin particles having a certain size or more can be filtered or centrifugally classified. It can also be separated and removed. After adjusting the concentration of the coating resin particles to a predetermined concentration, additives such as an antifungal agent, an antifoaming agent, and a viscosity-imparting agent may be added as a post-adjustment to obtain an aqueous dispersion coating.

The resulting aqueous dispersion paint has an average particle size of the paint resin particles dispersed therein of not more than 10 μm and a concentration of about 20 to 60% by weight. An important feature of the method for producing the aqueous dispersion paint used in the present invention is that it is directly wet-pulverized in an aqueous medium to make a paint, and if necessary, dispersed in water in various raw materials to be constituents of a coating film in advance.

In the undried state after the application of the aqueous dispersion paint, the moisture inside the undried paint film can freely move between the paint resin particles by capillary action. Therefore, during the drying process, while water is present inside the wet coating, as the water evaporates from the wet coating surface, the water inside the wet coating freely passes between the coating resin particles by capillary action. It travels to the wet coating surface and the water evaporates subsequently. In the case of water-soluble resin paints and emulsion paints, near the end of the drying process, the water inside the coating film is supplied to the surface by diffusion, so the water movement speed is extremely slow,
In the case of the above-mentioned aqueous dispersion paint, as described above, the movement speed of water is sufficiently fast even near the end of the drying process, and water evaporates at a constant rate from the surface of the wet coating film. As a result, in the subsequent heating step, the water inside is less likely to boil to form pinholes. Therefore, there is no need to use a high boiling point solvent for adjusting the boiling point, and the V
The OC is also very low, usually less than 1%.

In the coating method of the present invention, it is not necessary to strictly control the heating step and the film forming step as in the case of coating using an emulsion paint or a water-soluble paint.
When the film thickness is large, it is preferable to take care to prevent the generation of pinholes due to boiling of water. When using the water-based dispersion coating, after application, leave at room temperature, even after heating to form a film after the elapse of an arbitrary time, in the case of a coating using a conventional polycarboxylic acid thickening stabilizer No cracks such as those generated in the coating film are generated.

In step (A), the mixture is left at room temperature for a long time,
The uncured coating film from which the moisture has been evaporated can be formed through almost the same film forming process as when the coating resin particles as the raw material are applied as a powder coating. However, the difference is that, in the case of powder coatings, since the powder coating adheres to the object to be coated with static electricity, the adhesive force due to static electricity decreases over time, and the coating resin particles of the powder coating lose the gravity, May fall. In the case of the coating method of the present invention, since the coating resin particles adhere to the object to be coated with a strong force such as adsorption force by water, the object does not fall even in the case of the object to be coated having low adhesion such as plastic. . Therefore, in the step (A), the leaving time for evaporating water is arbitrary, but in consideration of the adhesion of dust and the like, the length of the coating line, the effective use of the storage space, etc., the time is as short as possible after the application. It is preferable to evaporate the water, and it is preferable to complete the subsequent steps in as short a time as possible.

In the steps (B) and (C), the temperature and the time when the coating resin particle layer is formed and the coating resin particles are heated for melting and fusing are up to 100 ° C. which is the boiling point of water. Preferably, the temperature is raised over 20 seconds or more, for example, at a temperature rising rate of 4 ° C. or less per second. Usually, the temperature is raised to 100 ° C. over a period of 1 to 3 minutes, for example, at a rate of 0.4 to 1.3 ° C. per second. After the temperature exceeds 100 ° C., the resin is heated to a predetermined reaction temperature at an arbitrary heating rate, and is kept at that temperature to melt and fuse the resin components in the coating film to form a cross-linked film of the coating film. Therefore, there is no need for heating in the case of coating using an emulsion paint or a water-soluble paint, a step of heating at 80 to 100 ° C. for 5 to 10 minutes as required at the time of film formation, and then raising the temperature to a predetermined temperature and curing. is there.
