Description

  The present invention is a nitrogen-containing unsaturated compound having at least one hydrogen bond selected from an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having a urethane bond, an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having an imide bond, and an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having a urea bond. The present invention relates to a thermosetting acrylic resin composition, which is copolymerized with a monomer (A), and an aqueous coating composition comprising the same.

  Conventionally, acrylic resins have been widely used as one of typical binders for water-based coating compositions. Among these, acrylic resins copolymerized with hydrogen-bonding monomers are preferable as rheology controllability (hereinafter referred to as “rhecon properties”) binders because they exhibit a thickening effect due to hydrogen bonding between resin molecules when used in water-based paints. Used. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a heat-sensitive gelling emulsion containing a polymer obtained by copolymerizing an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having a urea bond. Here, the ethylenically unsaturated monomer having a urea bond is a hydrogen bonding monomer.

  Patent Document 2 has a description that “a hydrogen bonding monomer is a monomer having a hydrogen bonding functional group, for example, a monomer having a hydroxyl group, a carboxylic acid, an amino group, a sulfonic acid, an amide group”. In addition, Patent Document 3 discloses that “hydrogen bondable functional groups include alcoholic hydroxyl groups, phenolic hydroxyl groups, amino groups, carbonyl groups, carboxyl groups, amide bonds, ester bonds, carbonate bonds, urethanes. There is also a description of `` including a structure such as a bond, an imide bond, an ether bond, etc. '', and there are a wide variety of hydrogen-bonding monomers having a hydrogen-bonding functional group or a structure exhibiting hydrogen-bonding properties. Many acrylic resins obtained by copolymerizing one or more of these have been disclosed.

JP 2005-213396 A JP 2006-167679 A However, most acrylic resins do not exhibit self-curing properties alone, but copolymerize a “monomer having a crosslinkable functional group” which may be the same as the “hydrogen bonding monomer” and react with it. It has been used as a thermosetting composition in combination with the same or different acrylic resin having a functional group that can be used, or a crosslinking agent that is not an acrylic resin.

  When the same acrylic resin has a combination of two types of crosslinkable functional groups, it is easily cross-linked by heat, which may cause a problem in storage stability when used as a paint.

  When two types of cross-linking functional groups are separately present in two types of acrylic resins, the cross-linked structure, for example, the coating film, does not exhibit sufficient strength and physical properties unless the resins are mixed sufficiently. There is. For this reason, in order to improve the mixing property, the SP values of two kinds of acrylic resins are often brought close to each other or the resin molecular weight is lowered, but this greatly restricts the degree of freedom in resin design, and various performance requirements are met. Sometimes it was difficult to balance.

  A more general curable composition is a combination of an acrylic resin and a crosslinking agent that is not an acrylic resin. Combinations of acrylic resins having functional groups with various reactivity and cross-linking agents corresponding to the functional groups are known, and various curable compositions from room temperature curing types to high-temperature bake curing types near 200 ° C. are practical. It has become.

  However, compositions using these two types of components (acrylic resin and acrylic resin, acrylic resin and cross-linking agent) often cause a mixing error. There were always dangers such as separation and gelation during storage due to the formulation.

  As a resin that does not cause the above problems, an acrylic resin obtained by copolymerizing a monomer that exhibits hydrogen bonding and has self-curing property can be given. Patent Document 4 discloses such monomers as N-methoxymethyl (meth) acrylamide, N-methoxyethyl (meth) acrylamide, Nn-butoxymethyl (meth) acrylamide, Ni-butoxymethyl (meth) acrylamide, and N-methylol. An aqueous paint using an acrylic resin copolymerized with an acrylamide derivative such as (meth) acrylamide as a binder is disclosed.

However, the acrylamide monomer has a high hydrophilicity and the water resistance of the coating film may be inferior, and there is a problem that the film may be thermally yellowed during heat curing of the coating film. .

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is a novel thermosetting acrylic resin composition that can be used as a binder for water-based paints that has rhecon properties, self-curing properties, and is hardly thermally yellowed, and water-based paint compositions comprising the same Is to provide things.

  As a result of intensive studies, the present inventors have found that at least one selected from ethylenically unsaturated monomers having a urethane bond, ethylenically unsaturated monomers having an imide bond, and ethylenically unsaturated monomers having a urea bond. The thermosetting acrylic resin composition characterized by copolymerizing a nitrogen-containing unsaturated monomer (A) having hydrogen bonding properties has found that the above problems can be solved, and the present invention has been completed. It came to let you.

Thus, the present invention comprises the following items.
1. Nitrogen-containing unsaturated monomer having one or more hydrogen bonds selected from ethylenically unsaturated monomers having urethane bonds, ethylenically unsaturated monomers having imide bonds, and ethylenically unsaturated monomers having urea bonds (A ) And other unsaturated monomer (B). A thermosetting acrylic resin composition characterized by comprising:
2. Item 2. The nitrogen-containing unsaturated monomer (A) having hydrogen bonding properties is N-methacryloyloxyethyl-N′-ethylurea and / or N-methacryloyloxyethyl-N′-butylurea. 2. Thermosetting acrylic resin composition Item 3. The thermosetting according to item 1 or 2, wherein the mass ratio of the nitrogen-containing unsaturated monomer (A) having hydrogen bonding properties and the other unsaturated monomer (B) is from 1/99 to 50/50. Acrylic resin composition.
4). Item 4. A thermosetting acrylic emulsion composition, wherein the thermosetting acrylic resin composition according to any one of items 1 to 3 is dispersed in water.
5. The core-shell structure has a core-shell mass ratio of 1/9 to 9/1, and the amount of nitrogen-containing unsaturated monomer (A) having hydrogen bonding properties in the shell portion Item 5. The thermosetting acrylic emulsion composition according to item 4, which is 3 to 70% by mass of the total amount of saturated monomers.
6). Item 6. An aqueous coating composition comprising the thermosetting acrylic emulsion composition according to Item 4 or 5.

  The acrylic resin composition of the present invention has hydrogen bonding properties, and a viscous aqueous solution or aqueous dispersion can be obtained by the interaction between resins in an aqueous medium. In particular, when the acrylic resin composition of the present invention is used as an emulsion and used as a binder of an aqueous coating composition, the setting of a coated film after coating (in the case of a baked and dried type paint) or curing (mainly from room temperature to low temperature drying type paint) In the case of a case), a preferable effect of suppressing the run-off (sagging) of the coating film is sometimes exhibited. And since a cured coating film can be obtained without adding a curing agent at the time of heat curing, there is no trouble associated with mixing of the curing agent (forgetting to mix, wrong mixing ratio, phase separation after mixing, etc.) 1 It can be set as a liquid-type curable composition. The acrylic resin composition of the present invention can provide a cured coating film with excellent water resistance since the hydrogen bonding monomer has low hydrophilicity.

  The acrylic resin composition of the present invention has at least one hydrogen bond selected from an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having a urethane bond, an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having an imide bond, and an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having a urea bond. It is a thermosetting acrylic resin composition characterized by copolymerizing a nitrogen-containing unsaturated monomer (A).
