More particularly, the present invention relates to a coating composition having excellent surface electro-conductivity and corrosion resistance, comprising: one or more base resins selected from the group consisting of a polyester resin, an epoxy resin, a polyurethane resin, an acrylic resin, a polyolefin resin, a fluorine resin, a polycarbonate resin and a phenol resin; a melamine-based curing agent; one or more selected from among carbon black and carbon nanotubes; metal powder; and organo clay, a method of preparing the coating composition, and an article coated with the coating composition.
1. A coating composition comprising:
100 parts by weight of one or more resins selected from the group consisting of a polyester resin, an epoxy resin, a polyurethane resin, an acrylic resin, a polyolefin resin, a fluorine resin, a polycarbonate resin and a phenol resin;
1˜20 parts by weight of a melamine-based curing agent;
3-7 parts by weight of one or more selected from the group consisting of carbon black and carbon nanotubes;
10-20 parts by weight of metal powder; and
2.5-7.5 parts by weight of organo clay.
2. The coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the metal powder comprises one or more selected from the group consisting of Al, Cu, Ni, Zn, Fe, Mn, Co, Ti and Sn.
3. The coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the organo clay comprises one or more selected from the group consisting of kaolin, serpentine, mica, vermiculite, smectite, and phyllosilicate.
4. A method of preparing a coating composition, the method comprising:
providing a mixture comprising:
100 parts by weight of one or more resins selected from the group consisting of a polyester resin, an epoxy resin, a polyurethane resin, an acrylic resin, a polyolefin resin, a fluorine resin, a polycarbonate resin and a phenol resin,
1˜20 parts by weight of a melamine-based curing agent,
3-7 parts by weight of one or more selected from the group consisting of carbon black and carbon nanotube,
10-20 parts by weight of metal powder, and
2.5-7.5 parts by weight of organo clay; and
applying ultrasonic waves to the mixture to disperse its contents.
5. An article comprising:
a body comprising a surface;
a coating layer formed on the surface and comprising the coating composition of claim 1 .
6. The article according to claim 5 , wherein the article is selected from the group consisting of a steel sheet, a hard disk drive, a computer housing, a housing of a liquid crystal display (LCD), a housing of a plasma display panel (PDP), a mobile phone, a PNP (plug and play), an electronic navigator, an MP3 (MPEG 1 Layer 3) player, a wood piece, a plastic piece, and a ceramic piece.
7. The article according to claim 6 , wherein the steel sheet is a zinc-plated steel sheet.
