Abstract

The present invention relates to two-component topcoat systems comprising polyaspartic esters that contain only small amounts of dialkyl fumarates, to a process for the production thereof and for the use thereof in the production of coatings, in particular for corrosion protection, and to the use in the field of general industrial painting or in the field of ACE (agriculture, construction and earth-moving equipment) and to substrates coated therewith.

Claims (30)

1 . A two-component coating composition comprising

a) at least one polyaspartic ester-containing component A;

b) at least one polyisocyanate component B;

c) optionally one or more components C that are different from A and are reactive towards isocyanate groups;

d) at least one inorganic and/or organic pigment (component D1); and

optionally other auxiliaries and additives (component D2),

wherein component A comprises

one or more polyaspartic esters of the general formula (I)

in which

X is an m-valent organic radical, optionally containing one or more heteroatoms, as can be obtained by removing the primary amino groups from a corresponding polyamine that has (cyclo) aliphatically or araliphatically attached amino groups and is in a molecular weight range from 60 to 6000 g/mol, and which may contain further functional groups that are reactive towards isocyanate groups and/or inert at temperatures of up to 100° C.,

R1 and R2 are identical or different organic radicals each having 1 to 18 carbon atoms,

m is an integer>1,

and one or more polyaspartic esters having a primary amino group that are of the general formula (II)

in which

n is m−1,

X and radicals R1 and R2 have the meanings defined above,

wherein the proportion of compound(s) of the formula (II) in component A is 4 to 20% of a total area measured as area % in the gas chromatogram (GC), wherein the total area corresponds to a sum of the areas in the GC of compounds of the two general formulas (I) and (II) and is equal to 100%.

2 . The two-component coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein dialkyl fumarates are present in component A in an amount from 0.01% to 1.2% by weight based on the total weight of component A.

3 . The two-component coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the proportion of compound(s) of the formula (II) is 4%-15% of the total area in the GC.

4 . The two-component coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein dialkyl fumarates are present in component A in an amount from 0.01% to 1.0% by weight based on the total weight of component A.

5 . The two-component coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein dialkyl fumarates are present in component A in an amount from 0.01% to 0.1% by weight based on the total weight of component A.

6 . A process for producing a coating on a substrate comprising:

i) applying a two-component coating composition according claim 1 to at least part of a substrate to be coated; and

ii) curing the coating composition from step i).

7 . A substrate coated with a coating obtained in accordance with the process according to claim 6 .

8 . A substrate coated with a coating according to claim 7 , wherein the coating is a topcoat.

9 . The process for producing a coating on a substrate according to claim 6 , wherein the coating is a topcoat.

10 . A method of providing corrosion protection to a substrate, comprising applying the two component coating composition according to claim 1 to at least a portion of the substrate.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the substrate comprises a substrate of ACE (agriculture, construction and earth-moving) equipment.

12 . A method of producing a gloss-stable coating, comprising applying the two component coating composition according to claim 1 to at least a portion of a substrate.
