1. Introduction 1.1 Crosslinker for exterior durable Polyester powder coatings

Powder coating compositions formulated with a polyester polymer are especially useful for their

corrosion resistance and exterior durability. Powder coating compositions including a carboxylic

acid-functional polyester and triglycidyl isocyanurate (TGIC) as a curing agent are common.

Although these powder coating compositions give useful coatings with good properties, they are

expensive to formulate because of the cost of the TGIC. Also, TGIC presents the formulation with a

toxicity problem and requires relatively high cure temperatures of from about 200℃.

In accordance with PCA-501, a thermosetting powder coating composition is provided.

The composition comprises a carboxylic acid group-containing polyester having a Tg of from about

30℃ to about 85℃, and an acid number of from about 20 to about 80, and a polyhydroxyalkylamide

curing agent (PCA-501).

The powder coating compositions of PCA-501 cure at significantly lower temperatures than

compositions with TGIC and give resultant coatings with good exterior durability plus a good blend of

other physical properties such as appearance, hardness, impact resistance and chemical resistance.

Measuring the Reaction Kinetics of Polyester/PCA-501(HAA) Powder Coatings With Dielectric Analysis (DEA) Dr. Georgi Beschiaschvili and Liselotte Tanner; and Manfred Wenzler, November 6, 2003

Figure 1a Differential Scanning Calorimetry

Isothermal Cross-linking of Copolyester/TGIC at 165℃

Thermosetting powder coatings only achieve optimal properties after they are completely cured. The

degree of cure is important because it influences the mechanical properties, the corrosion resistance and

weathering resistance of the final powder coating. Knowledge of the reaction rate and reaction kinetics is

therefore of significant practical use. For typical thermosetting materials, the chemical reaction taking

place during cross-linking is exothermic, and the reaction can be followed using differential scanning

calorimetry (DSC).

Isothermal Cross-linking of Copolyester/TGIC at 165℃

Page 14: Crosslinker for exterior durable Polyester powder coatingslitmuschem.com/data/admin/board_upload/4/files/35f6367a8254bfb... · Crosslinker for exterior durable Polyester powder

The enthalpy of reaction for the cross-linking of PCA-501(HAA) with carboxyl polyester is very low. It is

not possible to determine the progress of this reaction using DSC techniques. Until recently this was a

handicap. Determination of the degree of cure was only possible by measuring the development of the

mechanical properties of PCA-501(HAA) coatings—for example, slow penetration and impact resistance.

In comparison to DSC methods, the accuracy of measuring mechanical properties is very poor and not at

all suitable for coatings of limited flexibility, such as super-durable polyester powder coatings.

Dielectric analysis (DEA) has been used since the mid 1930s for the analysis of various polymeric

materials. In the last few years, DEA has been used increasingly for epoxy resin systems.

linking were investigated by using DEA. The use of DEA for char-acterising the reaction kinetics of PCA-

501(HAA) powder coatings was verified by conducting comparison measurements on a

polyester/triglycidylisocyanurate (TGIC) powder coating using both DEA and DSC techniques.

Method

The powder coating sample was applied to the sensor with a spatula at room temperature. The coated

sensor was then placed in the DEA kiln and raised quickly to the required temperature (within

approximately 5 minutes). The resulting cross-linking reaction was investigated at dif-ferent

temperatures using a ceramic single-surface sensor isotherm. The measurements were made under a

nitrogen atmosphere.

With Dielectric Analysis the real component e' and the imaginary component e" of the complex dielectric

constant e*= e’ - ie” are determined in relationship to temperature and the frequency of the alternating

electric field. The real component e' is proportional to the reversible stored energy, and the imaginary

component (or loss factor) e" is proportional to the dissipated energy resulting from the rotation of polar

groups.

The PCA-501(HAA) cross-linking reaction was traced by following the ionic conductivity s:s = e" 2P f eo

where f is the frequency in Hz of the alternating electric field and eo is the dielectric constant (8.85*10-

12 F/m).

Ionic conductivity results from the presence of ionic impurities in the system (e.g. inorganic and organic

salts) and is dependent on the viscosity of the sample. If the concentration of the ionic impurities

remains constant during the cross-linking reaction, the ionic conductivity makes an ideal parameter for

following the changes in viscosity that occur during cross- linking (1). Starting with an uncured powder

coating, the ionic conductivity increases rapidly with increasing temperature, as the powder first sinters

and then melts. With the onset of cross-linking, the viscosity of the powder coating increases with a

resulting parallel decrease in ionic conductivity. This process continues until the reaction is complete and

the coating fully cured. The change in ionic conductivity during the isothermal cross-linking reaction is

used to determine the degree of conversion a as a function of time.

The loss factor e" is composed of two components:

e" = s/2P f e0 + e"d where e"d is the component of the loss factor e" caused by dipole relaxation losses.

If DEA measurements are made at low frequency, under these conditions, the dipole relaxation

component e"d is negligible and the loss factor e" is de-termined completely by the ionic conductivity

(2,3). Results of Copolyester/TGIC Cross-linking Figures 1a and 1b illustrate the isothermal cross-linking

of copolyester/TGIC as measured with DSC and with DEA at 165°C. With DSC the change in enthalpy

was recorded, whereby with DEA the change in ionic conductivity was measured. Control measurements

were made on the copolyester resin without cross-linker.

The degree of conversion measured as a function of time by DSC is given by Equation 1:

Page 17: Crosslinker for exterior durable Polyester powder coatingslitmuschem.com/data/admin/board_upload/4/files/35f6367a8254bfb... · Crosslinker for exterior durable Polyester powder

Figure 4 Dielectric Analysis

Degree of Conversion: Copolyester/PCA-501(HAA) Powder Coatings

a (t) = H(t)/H0 where H(t) is the reaction enthalpy as a function of time and H0 is the total reaction

enthalpy.

A very good correlation between DSC and DEA is achieved if the degree of conversion measured against

time by DEA is calculated using Equation 2: a (t) = {s(0)- s(t)}/{ s(0)- s(`)} where s(t), s(0) and s(`)

are the corresponding values of ionic conductivity at a time (t), at the beginning of the reaction (0) and

at the end of the reaction (`).

From a comparison of the two results (Figure 2), it can be seen that the two curves are very similar.

Taking into account the accuracy of the two test methods, the curves can be considered virtually

identical. This indicates a very good correlation between the two analytical techniques. The proposed

process to determine the conversion curve of the cross-linking reaction from DEA measurements

(Equation 2) assumes a linear relationship between the ionic conductivity s and the degree of conversion

a.

The functional relationship between the degree of conversion and the ionic conductivity s is given in the

literature by Equation 3: a = k log s + C (where k and C are constants) (4). Very good correlation has

been observed between the DEA and DSC techniques based on a linear relationship between the ionic

conductivity and degree of conversion.

Figure 5 Dielectric Analysis

Determination of the Kinetic Parameters(k & n)

The changes in ionic conductivity with isothermal cross-linking of the PCA-501 powder coatings at two

different temperatures, 150°C and 200°C, are shown in Figure 3. The conversion curves of the PCA-

501(HAA) cross-linking reaction at three different temperatures, as calculated using Equation 2, are

shown in Figure 4. At 200°C, 99% conversion is reached after 5 minutes, whereas at 150°C the

conversion after 5 minutes is only 68%.

The reaction profile of the powder coating cross-linking is represented by the following nth order kinetic

Equation 4: da(t)/dt = k{1-a(t)} whereby, da(t)/dt is the reaction rate, n is the order of the reaction

and k the appropriate rate constant. The rate constant is dependent on temperature as given by the

relationship (Arrhenius Equation 5) k = A exp (-Ea/RT)

The kinetic parameters, namely the pre-exponential factor (A) and the activation energy (Ea), could be

determined by plotting Ln (k) against the reciprocal of the absolute temperature (1/T).

The rate constant k and the reaction order were determined by plotting log (da(t)/dt) against log (1-

a(t)). The resulting curve was a straight line with a gradient n. The corresponding rate constant could

then be determined by extrapolating log (1-a(t)) to zero.

The plots of log (da(t)/dt) against log (1-a(t)) for three temperatures are illustrated in Figure 5. The

Page 19: Crosslinker for exterior durable Polyester powder coatingslitmuschem.com/data/admin/board_upload/4/files/35f6367a8254bfb... · Crosslinker for exterior durable Polyester powder

plotted values for the different temperatures lie on parallel gradients, thus confirming the validity of the

proposed kinetic equations (Equations 4 and 5). The gradients of all three lines gave a reaction order

n=1.4. Having determined the reaction rate, both the activation energy (Ea) and the pre-exponential

factor could be estimated using the Arrhenius equation and the plot of ln k against 1/T. The results of

the kinetic analysis were as given in Table 1.

Conclusion

The reaction kinetics of polyester/ PCA-501(HAA) was investigated by monitoring changes in ionic

conductivity, with the ionic conductivity being directly influenced by the viscosity of the system. During

cross-linking the viscosity of the coating increases resulting in a corresponding decrease in ionic

conductivity.

Comparative tests made with a polyester/TGIC powder coating using both DSC and DEA techniques

resulted in a very good correlation between the two techniques. The results depicted in Figures 2 and 3

prove that DEA is a suitable method for assessing the conversion rate of polyester/PCA-501 powder

coatings.

DEA provides an accurate and reproducible method for measuring the reaction kinetics of polyester/

PCA-501(HAA) powder coatings. From the results of DEA, precise predictions about the required curing

conditions (i.e. time and temperature) can be made.

FEEDING ACEPTANCE 1. 为了抑制胶化、提高喂料能力,在D螺杆排 Zone中间的第一

个螺杆的飞轮之间的角度从 30o变为 110o。

2. 需要根据喂料的原料的特点变更螺杆的尺寸

① Fine Powder Feeding : 缩小螺杆飞

② Coarse Powder Feeding : 加大螺杆

3. 为了提高喂料能力,改变 Hopper。

Open Hopper(ELT) : 现在的 KCC系统

2. DG Screw向 DV Screw转换, Throughput Rate增加 50%.

1. 双螺杆挤压机上 Operation Speed和 Throughput Rate具有比例关系.

2. Buss 挤压机是相对比脚手架(scaffolding )低。.

3. 即便是 Barrel Length(4 or 5 Block), Screw rpm增加,当制造 Polyester/Primid or

PT910 时,对 Gel Time或 Surface Quality完全无影响.

4. Screw rpm 增加将导致 Throughput Rate 增加,高温下制造 TGIC-free Type

Powder,提高 Surface Quality.

OPERATION TEMPERATURE 通常将 Screw, Barrel 的 1’st Zone Temp.提高维持在 Barrel 的 2’nd Zone(吐出部位)

Temp.的 1/2.

PROCESS LENGTH (BARREL LENGTH)

实验 结果

1. D Screw和 DV Screw 变更无差异.

2. Barrel Length对 Quality有较大影响.

(*Akzo Novel的 Quality 评价标准,越接近 ‘1,越是 Good Quality)

按照上述结果,认为 Buss Engineer将会依组合不同,根据 Screw Type显示出较大差

异.

1. WP 挤压机与 Buss相比,具有 2倍以上的 Process Length(L/D).

2. Process Length和Gelation Effect无相关关系. 特别是 Residence Time变短, Time

Distribution也会变窄,因此,Temp. Control等如果没有出错的话,就没有 Gelling

Effect.

WEAR SENSITIVITY 1. 如 Table所示,如果产生磨损,应该更换 Part.

2. 通常 ,提高 Screw rpm程度至 Flight和 Liner之间产生的 Gap那样进行制造。.

1. 由于是 High Screw Speed,使用可耐高强度磨损的材料. 2. 如下情况例外:为了提高 Fine Powder的 Feeding,如果使用单螺杆 Flight

Screw,与 Standard Screw相比,显示为约 75%的耐磨性.

OTHERS 1. 制造时,向挤压机投入的 Pre-mixed Powder量只有能填满挤压机空间就行,不要让

粉末填满与挤压机连接的 Hopper.

2. 将 Motor的 Specific Energy调节为 0.04~0.06 kw h/kg.

3. PVC Cleaning时,将 Screw和Barrel Temp.维持在 100~110oC后,投入 PVC, PVC

Melting后将温度降低.

挤压机的性能分为 Distribution, Dispersion予以说明: 1. Distribution是指 Buss或 WP的挤压机同一(个人意见: Buss 挤压机更有优势. WP的技术人员也认为对这个部分 Buss 挤压机并不逊色。)

PROBLEMS IN PRACTICE PCA-501(Hydroxyalkyamide)-based Powder Coatings 制造条件

1. Higher Residence Time – Reduced Output (不要过满地填充挤压机内空间,投入

Pre-mixed Powder.)

2. Higher Shear Rate – Maximum Screw Speed

3. Higher Temp. –

4.使用 D & DV Screw.

制造时 Batch更换或最后 Batch时发生 Hazy现象. 对此意见如下: 1. Ciba和其他欧洲的粉末制造企业出现的现象与 KCC现象不同。 即在 KCC出现部分的 Hazy现象,而在欧洲企业制造全过程都出现。因此 改变制造条件 (温度, Screw 排列, 速度…) Hazy现象就会消失.

2. 认为 KCC的现象的出现,与挤压机自身制造条件相比,更有可能是 Feeding的问题.

3. Volumetric Feeder 并非为每小时的定量投入. 根据 Hopper 内累积的Pre-mixed Powder 量多少,投入量发生变化,因此当更换 Batch 或最后Batch时投入量发生变更,不能维持合适的 Torque,由此出现 Hazy现象。 –推荐 Gravitic Feeder.

4. 尽可能缩小 Feeder和挤压机投入口的距离 (0.5~1m). 5. Pre-mixing时,最好在 Mixing Container填至 75%时进行 Mixing. 6. WP进行的制造实例

2. 提高 Temp.时降低 Screw rpm,使用 Die的 Hole Size大的.

制造上无问题,但没有拿到详细的制造条件.

High Filler Loading EMC DG Screw

当 EMC在Melt State开始出来,降低 Temp.

Buss也为 EMC企业供应挤压机,因此可以提供与 EMC制造相关的技术。

为 EMC 企业供应约 4台,因此并无这方面的技术信息。

DISCUSSION 1. 现在挤压机变化趋势都相同

a. Long Barrel Length

b. High Screw Speed – High Throughput Rate

c. High Temp.

2. 应用 Buss的挤压机可制造粉末涂料和 EMC 制造,可以得到这方面的信息,但是 WP的挤压机适合于制造粉末涂料,但不适合 EMC 制造, 难以获得信息.

3. 认为 Fast Curable Powder Coatings (for Rebar & Pipe)制造时 Buss 挤压机更有利.

4. 究竟是哪一种机型绝对更优,恐怕难以下结论。必须与生产部门一起,在改变 Screw Arrangement, Shape, Temp.等条件下进行不同的实验。特别是对于 Buss 挤压机的性能

人们尚无充分的理解.

5. 与要求大量连续生产的产品相适合的挤压机生产效率等相关课题,需要今后进行更多的研究.

6. 现在对于 Buss单螺杆挤压机按 Screw Type进行的分散性和 Process Window实验已经得到了验证。但对于 KWP(ZSK Series),由于实验所需的 Powder没有及时到达,双

螺杆挤压机的比较研究尚未结束. 一旦收到 KWP最新机型制造的 Powder,将立即进行性质评价,编写报告书.

各类型挤压机的性能比较实验

1. 背景 迄今为止,对各类型挤压机,特别是往复单螺杆和双螺杆挤压机的性能进行的体系的研究还很不充分,各挤压机的条件(Screw Type, Arrangement, Speed, Screw & Barrel Temp., Barrel Length etc)各不相同,各种应用的方案的研究也不充分,在此状态下,对各种制造条件下产品生产和粉末涂料性质的改善和改良进行了实验。这个基础实验对挤压机性能的基础研究和组合特点,提出适当的制造条件,将对降低大量生产时的不合格率、提高质量具有重要意义。 2. 目的 前面的报告“单螺杆挤压机和双螺杆挤压机的比较 I”中整理了各仪器的参数和各公司提供的信息,本报告根据制造实验对往复单螺杆挤压机和双螺杆挤压机的性能和特点进行分析。一般来说,研究挤压机性能时,需要研究以下三个方面内容: ← 分散性(Distribution & Dispersion) : ↑ Process Window(工艺的稳定性) : 挤压机运转条件的变化引起的产品性质的变化程度越小,越可以实现稳定的生产。 → 生产效率 其中,生产效率通过实验室阶段的小量制造实验难以证实,所以只有通过分散性和 Process Window的比较研究。还需要以后对生产效率进行研究。

b. 迄今为止快速固化式(Fast Curable Type)被认为难以在双螺杆挤压机中制造,为了解决这个问题,委托 KWP 进行制造实验,但是,因为 KWP的内部原因没有如期进行,只是向 KWP咨询了制造条件,在得到回信后将另行报告。

3.6. 硬化过程中粘弹性(viscoelasticity)的特点变化分析(RPT-3000)

硬化中的粘弹性特点是使用 RPT-3000,在动态条件(10oC/min)下测量的,分析方法如下:

3.6.1. 上图是用 RPT-3000测量的粘弹性变化的典型例子,本实验也得到与此相似的结果。 3.6.2. 化学反应、物理的结合(Chain Entanglement)越增加交联密度(Crosslinking Density)也增加,如果挤压机内分散中的化学的反应发生

了反应,就可以假定测量 RPT-3000时,交联密度不大。但是如果 RPT-3000的交联密度不仅是化学的结合,如果还有物理的结合,就需要考虑到这个因素。

3.6.3. 虽然衰减率(Damping Ratio)得到的斜率可以由粘度的增加(Viscosity Increment)来说明,但是对此的理论根据还需要深入研究。但是本研究的结果是基于斜率的倾向与粘度增加倾向相似的假定得出的。

3.6.4. 衰减率(Damping Ratio)中得到两个峰值,仪器制造商的解释是树脂的熔点,但是这个组合是只适用了一种树脂(CC7630)。硬化剂 PCA-501 是 3%,实验中得到的熔点大约是 120o,与 74oC、102oC 有差异。所以,另外的推论是低温峰值是树脂的 Tg,高温的峰值是树脂的熔点。但是现在没有支持这个推论的数据。一般来说,通过 DSC得到的 Tg,熔点与 RPT-3000有很大的差异。

3.6.5. 分析 RPT-3000 的数据时还可以设定另外一个重要的假定,如果挤压机内不发生化学反应而可以均匀分散,RPT-3000 测量时候出现的

Phase变化点(1’st/2nd Change point, Crosslinking Starting Point等)可能出现的相对较快。即分散过程中如果化学反应使链长增加,分子的活性降低,硬化反应(或者硬化特点变化)可能推迟。

4.1.1. 单螺杆挤压机 (PLK-46)的分散性和 Process Window a. 镀膜模糊的情况下,测量 DSC 的时候, 得到 PCA-501 的熔点峰值。与 Pure PCA-501 的Δ Hmelt比较的时候样品 1 大约 71%, 样品 2 大约 42%在分散过程中不熔化。即分散时 PCA-501 不完全熔化,分散也不均一,所以镀膜后出现模糊现象。有必要对大量制造的时候出现的模糊现象进行比较。

b. 把样品 1,2,3,4和 5,6,7进行比较时,发现制造温度即使很高对胶质形成的时间也没有大的影响。 c. 本实验无法用肉眼或者 Color Computer区分实验品之间颜色的差异。 d. 相同的螺杆、相同的 Screw rpm条件下,安培数在 7.2以上(参考前面记述的制造条件)的时候,冲击阻力(Impact Resistance)的

数据最好,即相同 Screw rpm,从喂料器获得的投入量越大,螺杆的负荷越高,对提高性质越有利。 e. 使用 DG螺杆时,根据温度和 rpm设定条件,外观和冲击的变化很大,但是使用 DV螺杆时,制造条件引起的性质的差别比较小。 即使用 DV螺杆时,胶质时间不发生变化,分散性得到,显示了相对宽的 Process Window。

4.1.2. 双螺杆挤压机 (ZSK-30, MP30PC, ZSK-25)分散性和 Process Window a. 用 MP30PC制造时的冲击强度比 ZSK-30略高,但是无法假定在 MP30PC的最好条件下制造,这一点需要以后继续研究。 b. 在 ZSK-25(MEGA Type)上制造时,Screw rpm变为 300 ~1200,喂料速度变为 30~100kg/h,整体上性质不发生变化,情况良好,数据稳定。即 Process Window非常宽。

c. 比较 ZSK-30和 ZSK-25(MEGA)制造的粉末,除了光泽度以外,性质没有大的差别。 4.1.3. 单螺杆挤压机和双螺杆挤压机的比较

a. 观察用 DSC 测量的粉末的 Tg,用双螺杆挤压机制造的粉末的 Tg 整体上较低,可能是因为制造的时候预混合粉末(Pre-mixed Powder)在挤压机内停留的时间 (Residence Time & Distribution)比单螺杆挤压机短引起的,即随着单螺杆挤压机喂料的量增加, 发生摩擦热使温度上升,停留的时间也相对长,所以在分散的时间里略微发生化学反应,使粉末的 Tg上升。

b. 制造条件变化时,双螺杆挤压机加工的产品性质变化较小,而单螺杆挤压机加工的产品的性质变化很大,根据这个实验结果,可以说双螺杆挤压机具有较宽的 Process Window。

c. 实验结果没有显示各种挤压机类型对色泽的影响。

4.2.1. 单螺杆挤压机(PLK-46)的分散性和 Process Window

a. 从上述数据可以看到,数据上的区别虽然很小,但是可以发现有意思的现象。即使用 DV螺杆制造的粉末硬化时,DG螺杆制造的粉末粘弹性的特点进行比较,

← Damping Ratio, Frequency中变化的点 (1’st/2’nd Change Point, Crosslinking Starting Point)迅速出现。 ↑ Slope的变化大。 → Crosslinking Density密度大。

b. 这个结果是本报告前半部分记述的“如果不发生挤压机内分散均匀、化学反应引起分子链加长、分子的流动性降低的话,测量 RPT-3000的时候出现的 Phase变化点(1’st/2nd Change point, Crosslinking Starting Point等)可能相对快速出现”,“如果挤压机内分散的过程中不发生化学的反应,测量 RPT-3000时,可以预测 Crosslinking Density出现较大的差异”,与假设的情况比较一致。

c. 硬化后薄膜的 Tg没有随着螺杆类型的变化而发生差异。 4.2.2. 双螺杆挤压机 (ZSK-30, MP30PC, ZSK-25)分散性和 Process Window

a. 双螺杆挤压机的种类不同并没有带来明显的区别,这是因为 ZSK-30和 MP30PC的实验数据不够充分引起的。所以以后只涉及 ZSK-25的数据分析。

b. 如果观察相同的 Screw rpm、只增加喂料时 (对 Sample 11→12, 13→14, 15→16的数据进行比较时)显示的现象, ← Damping Ratio, Frequency中的变化的点(1’st/2’nd Change Point, Crosslinking Starting Point)迅速出现。 ↑ Slope的变化大。 → Crosslinking Density大。 c. 在相同喂料量、提高 Screw rpm的情况下 (比较 Sample 12→13, 14→15 的数据时),显示与“b”的结果相反的现象。 d. 如果前面的假设正确,如果以“b”、“c”的结果固定 Screw rpm,那么增加喂料量,将提高分散性。 e. 随着分散条件的变化,硬化后的 Film Tg并未显示不同。

4.2.3. 单螺杆挤压机和双螺杆挤压机的比较 a. PLK-46(DV Screw)和 ZSK-25 制造的粉末的粘弹性的特点数据除了 Viscosity Increment Slope,得到的其他数据相似。特别是如果观察 Sample 6, 7的结果,用 PLK-46(DV Screw)制造时,增加喂料量时,如果螺杆的扭矩增加(7.0A以上),和双螺杆挤压机的分散性将接近相似。

b. 但是双螺杆挤压机出现相对宽的 Process Window,这异味着用双螺杆挤压机制造时粉末的分散性对制造条件不敏感,可以实现稳定的生产。

4.3.1. 根据 Buss Engineer 认为采用 DV 螺杆式难以制造的意见(如前面实验结果中看到的,DV 螺杆制造过程中温度上升幅度大,极有可能发生 Fast-curable Powde的硬化反应),所以采用 DG螺杆制造 Fast-curable Powder Coatings。

4.3.2. 上表中记述的胶化时间是在 150oC测量的结果,180oC测量时时间是 10秒以下,无法得到精确数据。迄今为止粉末研究部和涂料组一直认为双螺杆挤压机无法制造这个产品,所以只在单螺杆挤压机(DG Screw)中进行实验。

4.3.3. 在一般的制造条件下,制造的极限值是 2~3kg,在本实验条件下制造了 10kg以上,Gelation等过程没有出现异常。 4.3.4. 在本实验条件下制造的粉末在一般性质方面未表现差异。 4.3.5. Buss Process Engineer 认为,加热/冷却系统正常运转,如果使用更大的产品出口 Die Hole Size(本实验采用 16mm)的时候,Fast-

curable Powder Coating制造时未出现问题。对于这个事项,应该在量产试验的时候参考。

A. SUMMARY

β-Hydroxyalkylamide (HAA) crosslinker* is a curing agent for thermoset

powder coating applications. β-Hydroxyalkylamide is used in formulated

products in which it is bound inescapably within a polymer matrix. This

paper is structured to provide information about the inherent safety of

HAA on the basis of chemistry, toxicity, and exposure considerations

known to date. The paper outlines general recommendations for good

industrial hygiene parctices to minimize risks of exposure.

The health and safety data generated on this chemical suggest that HAA

poses a very low risk for adverse health effects in workers, formulators,

or the public. β-Hydroxyalkylamide’s physical/chemical properties and

subchronic (repeated exposures) toxicity studies, or in

genotoxicity/mutagenicity studies all suggest that adverse effects should

not occur if exposure to HAA dust is controlled to levels representing

the industry maximum of 10 mg/m3. The chemical is not expected to

pose any significant occupational hazard as a result of use, adverse work

conditions, limited or confined spaces, or proximity to other chemicals. It

is not expected to react with water or other chemicals normally

encountered in the workplace. As with any organic material, contact with

strong oxidizing agents should be avoided. The environmental risks

associated with HAA are considered to be extremely low because it will

not be released to the environment except in accidental spills (low

probability), but even if it were released, it has an extremely low toxicity

to terrestrial and aquatic organisms.

In summary, on the basis of its toxicology and environmental profile,

HAA crosslinker can be used safely and with very low associated risk for

adverse effects on health or the environment when good industrial

hygiene practices are followed.

*HAA reffered to in this paper is Bis(N,N’-dihydroxyethyl)adipamide.

B. INTRODUCTION

The unique ability of HAA’s to crosslink with carboxylic acid functional

polymers was first described in the late 1970’s (Lomax and Swift, 1978).

Though HAA’s were shown early on to have utility as crosslinkers in

exterior grade powder coatings applications, it was not until 1990 that

Bis(N,N’-dihydroxyethyl)adipamide, the first HAA specifically developed

for the powder coating industry, was introduced by the Rohm and Haas

Company.

C. CHEMISTRY

β-Hydroxyalkylamide is a water soluble, crystalline solid (M.P.= 120 to

124℃) which consists predominantly of Bis(N,N’-

dihydroxyethyl)adipamide ( >90%), the structure shown in Figure 1.

< Figure 1. Structure of Bis(N,N’-dihydroxyethyl)adipamide >

Small amounts of higher molecular weight condensation products, such

as the ester-dimer shown in figure 2, are also present.

< Figure 2. Structure of Ester-Dimer >

The ester-dimer, as well as other higher order condensation products

found in HAA are all active crosslinkers.

β-Hydroxyalkylamide reacts with carboxylic acid functional polyester

resins to form a crosslink network through a condensation esterification

reaction. Consequently, for each new ester bond formed, a molecule of

water is released. Compared to conventional alcohols or polyols,

HAA curing agents react

readily with acid functional

polymers

Curing process occurs via a

condensation reaction.

HAA’s are considerably more reactive. This is believed to be due to the

ability of the HAA to form a highly reactive oxazolinium intermediate at

temperatures above about 130℃ (Wicks et al., 1985). Once formed, this

intermediate readily reacts with the available carboxylic acid groups to

form a new ester bond.

D. TOXICOLOGY OF β-HYDROXYALKYLAMIDE

1. HEALTH EFFECTS TESTING

The toxicology of HAA has been investigated extensively. β-

Hydroxyalkylamide has proven to be generally without adverse effect in

a wide variety of studies. In single-dose studies by the oral and dermal

routes, HAA is considered to be “practically non-toxic”, based on

lethality. The median lethal dose (LD50) was greater than 5.0 g/kg both in

rats (oral) and rabbits (dermal) (Lampe and Baldwin, 1988). Irritation

studies in rabbits showed β-Hydroxyalkylamide was essentially non-

irritating to skin (4-hr Mean Irritation Score=0.0) and inconsequentially

irritating to the eyes (Lampe and Baldwin, 1988). In a guinea pig skin

sensitization test,HAA produced no evidence of allergic contact

dermatitis or sensitization to skin (Parcell and Baldrick, 1990).

In three Ames Bacterial mutagenicity studies, HAA was found not to be

mutagenic and showed no response (increase in reversion frequency) in

any of 5 strains of Salmonella typhimurium (Kirby, 1988; Jones et al.,

1990) nor in E. coli. (Jones and Gant, 1994). Similarly, it was not

mutagenic in mammalian cells. In Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells,

HAA did not produce forward mutations at the HGPRT locus (Adams and

Kirkpatrick, 1993). In two additional in-vitro cytogenetics studies in

cultured CHO cells, HAA did not induce chromosomal aberrations or alter

mitotic index (Brooker, et al., 1990; Jones et al., 1993). Thus HAA

showed no evidence or potential for mutagenic or clastogenic activity.

In a 28-day repeat oral gavage study in rats at concentrations ranging

from 10 to 1000 hg/kg/day (the ‘limit’ or maximum allowable dose), no

treatment-related systemic toxicity was observed. Increased liver and

kidney weights were found in male and female rats of the 1000

mg/kg/day group, but there were no corresponding histopathologic

changes or untoward systemic effects attributable to HAA in any of the

animals. Thus 1000 mg/kg/day was considered to be the No Observed

Adverse Effect Level after repeated administration (Edwards et al.,

1990).

HAA is practically non-toxic

via oral or dermal

exposures, is non-

sensitizing & non irritating

to skin & eyes.

HAA is non-mutagenic.

HAA causes no systemic

toxicity with repeated oral

exposures.

Page 53: Crosslinker for exterior durable Polyester powder coatingslitmuschem.com/data/admin/board_upload/4/files/35f6367a8254bfb... · Crosslinker for exterior durable Polyester powder

In a one-generation reproduction study in rats (Shuey et al., 1994), a no

observed effect level (NOEL) for general toxicity in parental animals of

4500 ppm was determined. At 20,000 ppm, indications of toxicity were

limited to soft and/or irregular feces in both sexes. Due to their delayed

onset, the toxicological significance and relationship to treatment of

these signs were considered equivocal.

2. ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS TESTING

In environmental fate and ecotoxicity studies, HAA was practically non-

toxic to daphnia, trout, and algae. In daphnia, the 48-hr median effective

concentration (EC50) for immobilization was > 1000 mg/L, the ‘limit’ test

concentration (Douglas et al., 1990). In trout, under semi-static test

conditions, the 96-hr median lethal concentration (LC50) was > 1000

mg/L, also the ‘limit’ concentration (Douglas et al., 1990). In algae, the 72

hr. median effective concentration EC50 was > 97 mg/L (Douglas et al.,

1993). β-Hydroxyalkylamide was practically non-toxic to earthworms

over a 14 day exposure to the limit concentration of 1000 ppm. (LC50 >

1000 ppm) (Caley et al., 1992).

β-Hydroxyalkylamide was stable to hydrolysis over 5 days, showing less

than 10% hydrolysis at pH 4 (t1/2 > 1 yr); 10% hydrolysis at pH 7 (t1/2 = 1

yr); and 20% hydrolysis at pH 9 (t1/2 < 1 yr) (Hossack et al., 1990). At

elevated temperatures of 60 and 70℃ at pH 9, rate constants for

hydrolysis were calculated and extrapolated to calculate a half-life of

113 days for HAA at pH 9 and 25℃ (Macdonald et al., 1991). In a test

using bacteria in activated sludge, HAA was not readily biodegraded

(~4-5% degraded) within 28 days (Oyama, 1990). Follow-up studies

showed HAA did not inhibit respiration of activated sludge; the 3-hr

respiration inhibition EC50 was > 1000 mg/L (Douglas et al., 1993).

Although HAA does not readily degrade abiotically or biotically, it has

little or no toxicity in any aquatic (or mammalian) species tested.

In a bioconcentration study in carp (Nishikawa, 1998) HAA was tested

for its bioaccumulation potential. The resulting bioconcentration factors

obtained were far below 15 at the high exposure level of 10 mg/L and far

below 100 at the low exposure level of 1 mg/L HAA was not

bioaccumulative under the conditions of this study.

Thus, all health effects (toxicity) and ecotoxicity studies suggest that

HAA is virtually without remarkable adverse effect to human health or

the environment even at doses representing the highest allowable

concentrations for these tests.

E. EXPOSURE AND INDUSTRIAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

1. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

β-Hydroxyalkylamide crosslinker is a white crystalline solid with an

amine odor. Ii has a molecular weight of 320; vapor pressure of 0.003

mm Hg; Log Pow = -2.50 (21℃); water solubility at 608.3 g/l (at 20℃);

pH 9-10; melting point of 120-124℃ flash point of 104 ℃; and,

decomposition temperature of 250℃. As such, HAA is non-volatile, non-

flammable, non-explosive, with high water solubility but no potential for

bioaccumulation.

β-Hydroxyalkylamide is used to crosslink electrostatic spray-applied,

thermoset powder coatings for metals. After curing, the thermoset

powder coatings are predominantly solid film coatings of water insoluble,

high molecular weight polyester resins with highly stabilized pigments

and inert extender pigments. It is believed that the solid polymer matrix

incorporates or encapsulates HAA, the crosslinking agent. Because low

levels (2 to 3%, based on total powder coating) of HAA are used,

incorporation or final encapsulation is expected to reduce any residual

level availability from the solid polymer matrix. Thus, the use of HAA in

coatings of consumer goods is expected to have virtually no impact on

public health. Since this material is used for industrial application alone,

there is virtually no opportunity for exposures from domestic use.

Industrial accident provides the only opportunity for public exposure ,

and that probability is slight. In the industrial setting, there are basically

four unit operations which provide opportunity for industrial exposure to

the total powder coating containing HAA; blending, extrusion, grinding,

and spraying.

2. EXPOSURE CONSIDERATIONS

The physical properties of HAA do not support inhalation as a relevant

route of exposure. As a solid grade material with a relatively low vapor

pressure, large particle size, and high melting point, HAA is not expected

to be present in significant levels in the workplace as a vapor under

expected use conditions. The chemical could be encountered in the

workplace as a dust during manufacture or formulation. Particle size

distribution studies on HAA indicate that material will not readily

aerosolize under normal conditions due to its large particle size (75-

>200㎛) and its tendency to aggregate once it becomes airborne. There

is no evidence of a significant respirable particle fraction (<15㎛) with

this material.

HAA has no labeling

triggers.

There is little chance of

public exposure to HAA.

HAA is virtually non-

respirable.

Page 55: Crosslinker for exterior durable Polyester powder coatingslitmuschem.com/data/admin/board_upload/4/files/35f6367a8254bfb... · Crosslinker for exterior durable Polyester powder

A comprehensive study of potential worker inhalation exposure to HAA

during various handling operations revealed insignificant exposures to

the material, even under conditions of no local exhaust ventilation. At

worst, airborne HAA behaves no worse than a so-called nuisance dust.

Air monitoring for HAA using both personal and area air samplers

confirmed airborne levels of the material which were many times less

than the established HAA Workplace Exposure Limit (WEL) and the

ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV) for total dust (10mg/m3). Under

conditions where local exhaust ventilation is present, levels of HAA in

the breathing zone of workers were below the analytical defection limit.

Inhalation exposure to HAA during the baking process is unlikely. Proper

exhausting of the oven will prevent any appreciable amount of material in

the breathing zone of workers.

Even under extreme worst-case conditions, levels of HAA still generally

remain well below the WEL for the material due to its large particle size

and its tendency to clump and aggregate once airborne. Due to the low

potential for an appreciable amount of HAA to become airborne, the

associated dermal exposure to settled material on work surfaces is also

minimal. The amount of settled HAA on work surfaces monitored during

post-extrusion operations revealed minimal amounts of the material for

dermal contact.

3. RISK CONSIDERATIONS

Any potential inhalation exposure to decomposition products of HAA can

be avoided through the use of proper and adequate exhaust ventilation in

the workplace. Exhaust rates in any oven work environment must be

sufficient to prevent the build-up of combustion products or smoke in the

workplace. The breathing of any smoke in the workplace should be

avoided.

4. INDUSTRIAL SAFETY

Supplied exhaust ventilation in the workplace must be sufficient to

prevent the build-up of any hazardous airborne materials and to keep

airborne dust levels below the 10 mg/m3 maximum exposure limit.

Although HAA has a low propensity to become airborne, proper airflow

must be maintained in powder coating spray booths to contain the

powder and to prevent exposure potential to combustion products which

may be formed if the powders are drawn into the oven combustion areas.

Combustion ovens should not be vented into the workplace, and should

be properly vented to the outside. Air from the workplace should always

flow into the oven openings. The appearance of haze or smoke in the

At worst, HAA can be

handled as a nuisance dust.

Breathing of

combustion or de-

composition

products from HAA

should be avoided.

Maintain good

workplace exhaust/

ventilation.

workplace is an indication that the oven exhaust system is no properly

functioning. Any questions on the air quality of the workplace should be

referred to an industrial hygienist.

Although HAA has a low toxicity and low potential for dermal exposure,

powder coatings may be abrasive if left on the skin for long periods of

time or if they are rubbed into the skin. Exposed skin that has come in

contact with powder coatings should be flushed promptly with water and

washed with mild soap. Any skin irritation from the coatings may be

avoided through the use of proper industrial hygiene measures such as

the use of chemically resistant gloves.

5. WORKPLACE EXPOSURE RECOMMENDATIONS

In the industrial setting, the workplace exposure limit (WEL) for HAA has

been set at 10 mg/m3, consistent with nuisance dusts. The basis for this

is extrapolation from the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) of

1000 mg/kg/day in the 28-day subchronic oral study. This daily dose is

equivalent to an airborne concentration of approximately 7000 mg/m3 per

8 hr workday. Applying a safety factor of 1000 (an overly conservative

margin of safety relative to the NOAEL) would yield a WEL of 7 mg/m3,

based on total dust. In light of the virtual lack of toxicity seen with this

material and the overly conservative application of 1000 as safety

margin, and the very low propensity for HAA to be respired, the Health

Hazard Review Committee of Rohm and Haas Company rounded the

time-weighted average to 10 mg/m3 (consistent with nuisance dusts) on

October 25, 1991. A short-term exposure limit (STEL) value was not

considered necessary.

6. DISPOSAL

The powder coating material that is disposed typically consists of a solid,

water insoluble high molecular weight polyester resin and highly

stabilized prime pigments and inert extender pigments. The solid

polymer matrix encapsulates the crosslinking agent. Disposal is generally

to a secure landfill site at a facility that complies with local, state, and

federal regulations.

Wash skin exposed to

powder coating promptly

with water and mild soap.

Workplace exposure level to

HAA is the same as for

nuisance dust or 10 mg/m3.

Dispose of HAA containing

powder coating in

accordance with local, state

and federal regulations.
