Desenvolvimento de tintas em pó ignífugas à base de resina acrílica com adição das argilas montmorilonita e mica moscovita

Abstract

The powder coatings are gaining market share because they are environmentally friendly, solvent-free and solid components. Protection is one of its main features to avoid direct action of aggressive agents. Because they are composed of polymers they risk in adverse situations come into combustion. This study of flame retardants is intended to evaluate the use of an acrylic resin with the addition of Montmorillonite clays (MMT) in rank 15A, 30B, and muscovite mica. The addition of clay has a proportion of 2% and 4% (m / m) and the incorporation of clays in powder paint was in the molten state by extrusion. The mixture ink in acrylic-based powder (TA) with the clay, prior to curing, analyzed by various characterization techniques such as Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD ) spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). The application of powder coatings on carbon AISI 1006 steel panels by electrostatic spraying occurred. The effect of incorporating different clay in physical properties, corrosion protection and combustion of the inks were evaluated by brightness measurement tests, flexibility, impact resistance, adhesion, exposure to salt spray and flame (DIN 4102 B2 ). Powder paints with MMT and Mica Muscovite had a similar thermal behavior pure acrylic paint sample, and the mass loss of the samples above 300 °C related to the degradation of the polymeric matrix. By SEM it was found that the MMT-clay and MMT 15A-30B show irregular agglomerates and Muscovite mica showed a morphology constituted by overlapping set of parallel plates. By XRD, acrylic resin MMT-clay or MMT 15A-30B show the appearance of peaks, suggesting an interleaved structure. The X-ray diffraction of acrylic paint with Muscovite Mica 2% and 4% clay showed a characteristic profile with sharp peaks. As the flame retardant properties in combustion times of 60 s and 40 s mainly in acrylic inks Muscovite Mica 2% and 4% had greater thermal stability towards other formulations. The flexibility test showed that the samples without clay and with the Muscovite Mica 2% and 4% showed no peeling. The impact resistance test showed an excellent response of pure acrylic resin. In the adhesion test it was found that no desplacadas areas. The pencil hardness test the tougher the film to the acrylic paint system was MMT-30B in 4%. In the salt spray test all samples showed corrosion products close to the incision. Acrylic paint with Muscovite Mica demonstrated many qualities, especially flame retardancy.
