Abstract

Provided is an aqueous polyurethane resin composition which is excellent in finished appearance as well as excellent in impact resistance, such as chipping resistance, and adhesion. The aqueous polyurethane resin composition includes a polyurethane resin obtained from at least (a) at least two types of organic diisocyanate compounds and/or polyisocyanate compounds which are different from each other, (b) a polyol compound; (c) an acidic group-containing compounds comprising at least two types of compounds which are a compound containing a carboxyl group as the acid group (a carboxyl group-containing compound) and a compound containing a sulfo group as the acid group (a sulfo group-containing compound); and (d) a chain extender of a polyamine compound, a diamine compound, a polyol compound and/or an alkanolamine compound with a molecular weight of not more than 400, in which the aqueous polyurethane resin composition has a viscosity of not less than 500 Pa·s and not more than 50,000 Pa·s when the polyurethane resin is contained in an amount of 65% by weight.

Claims (17)

1. An aqueous polyurethane resin composition comprising a polyurethane resin obtained from at least components (a) to (d) below:

(a) at least compound (1) at least one alicyclic diisocyanate compound selected from the group consisting of 4,4′-diisocyanatodicyclohexylmethane and isophorone diisocyanate, and compound (2) hexamethylene diisocyanate, the alicyclic diisocyanate compounds (1) comprising 40 to 60 mol % based on 100 mol % of the organic diisocyanate compounds of component (a);

(b) one or more polyol compounds comprising 75 to 100% by weight of polytetramethylene glycol polyol based on the total weight of polyol compounds (b);

(c) acidic group-containing compounds comprising at least two types of compounds which are a compound containing a carboxyl group as the acid group (a carboxyl group-containing compound) and a compound containing a sulfo group as the acid group (a sulfo group-containing compound); and

(d) a chain extender selected from the group consisting of a polyamine compound, a diamine compound, a polyol compound and an alkanolamine compound, the chain extender having a molecular weight of not more than 400,

wherein the aqueous polyurethane resin composition has a viscosity of not less than 500 Pa·s and not more than 50,000 Pa·s when the polyurethane resin is contained in an amount of 65% by weight;

wherein component (a) is 13 to 20% by weight of the polyurethane resin, and

wherein component (b) is 65 to 85% by weight of the polyurethane resin.

2. The aqueous polyurethane resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the acidic group-containing compound of the component (c) is a compound having two or more hydroxy groups or amino groups.

3. The aqueous polyurethane resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the alicyclic diisocyanate compound is contained by a percentage of not more than 80 mol % based on 100 mol % of the organic diisocyanate compounds of the component (a).

4. The aqueous polyurethane resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the component (b) has a number average molecular weight of more than 400 g/mol and not more than 6000 g/mol.

5. The aqueous polyurethane resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the component (c) is present in the polyurethane resin in an amount that a total weight of the carboxyl group-containing compound and the sulfo group-containing compound is 0.2 to 10% by weight.

6. The aqueous polyurethane resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio of an acid value of the carboxylic group to a total acid value in the component (c) is 0.20 to 0.95.

7. The aqueous polyurethane resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the acid value of the carboxylic group in the polyurethane resin is in the range from 4.5 to 30 mgKOH/g.

8. The aqueous polyurethane resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polyurethane resin is contained by a percentage of 20 to 65% by weight.

9. A painting composition, coating composition, ink composition or adhesive composition containing the aqueous polyurethane resin composition according to claim 1 .

10. The aqueous polyurethane resin composition of claim 1 , wherein component (b) is 70 to 85% by weight of the polyurethane resin.
