Abstract

A water-based polyurethane resin and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. The method for manufacturing the water-based polyurethane includes: a preparation step of a prepolymer, a dilution step of the prepolymer, a water dispersion and chain extension step, and an acrylic synthesis step. The method further includes mixing polyol and polyisocyanate to obtain a prepolymer, and diluting the prepolymer by adding acrylic monomer in the prepolymer. In the water-based polyurethane resin, at least one of the polyhydric alcohol, polyisocyanate, and the acrylic monomer includes a compound with a cyclic structure.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for manufacturing a water-based polyurethane resin, comprising:
(1) a preparation step of a prepolymer: vacuum-dehydrating 105.24 g of a polyol and adding the vacuum-dehydrated polyol into a reactor, and adding 51.3 g of a polyisocyanate into the reactor when an oil bath temperature reaches 70° C. to 80° C. to carry out a synthetic reaction so as to obtain the prepolymer, wherein the polyol includes 20 g of polyester polyol synthesized from tricyclodecane dimethanol and adipic acid;
(2) a dilution step of the prepolymer: adding 179 g of an acrylic monomer to reduce the viscosity of the prepolymer and maintaining a reaction temperature at 85° C. to 90° C. for 2 to 3 hours, and subsequently adding 26.4 g of sulfonate hydrophilic agent to continue the reaction for 25 to 40 minutes so as to obtain a polymer;
(3) a water dispersion and chain extension step: cooling the polymer obtained from the step (2) to room temperature and adding 472.6 g of deionized water to the polymer under a high-speed shearing force that is generated at a rotational speed of 500 rpm, and subsequently adding 1.9 g of a chain extender to carry out a chain extension reaction for 30 minutes so as to obtain a water-based polyurethane dispersion; and
(4) an acrylic synthesis step: mixing the water-based polyurethane dispersion obtained from the step (3) with 43.8 g of an emulsifier to form an emulsion, raising the reaction temperature to 50° C. to 70° C. after stirring evenly and then dropwise adding 0.4 g of an initiator, carrying out an acrylic polymerization reaction at 75° C. to 85° C. for 1 to 3 hours, and adding 0.15 g of a reducing agent after reducing the reaction temperature to 50° C. to 70° C. so as to obtain the water-based polyurethane resin;
wherein all of the polyol, the polyisocyanate and the acrylic monomer include a cyclic structure compound.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the polyisocyanate is selected from the group consisting of toluene diisocyanate (TDI), isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) and dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate (H 12 MDI).

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the polyol and the polyisocyanate are reacted in an NCO/OH equivalent ratio from 1.1 to 2.3.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the acrylic monomer is selected from the group consisting of cyclohexyl methacrylate (CHMA), isobornyl methacrylate (IBOMA), 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (2-HEA), methyl methacrylate (MMA) and ethyl acrylate (EA).

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, based on a total weight of the acrylic monomer, the acrylic monomer includes:
(a) 127.2 g of methyl methacrylate;
(b) 8 g of 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate;
(c) 4.8 g of ethyl acrylate;
(d) 16.8 g of cyclohexyl methacrylate; and
(e) 22.2 g of isobornyl methacrylate.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the initiator is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen peroxide, tert-butyl peroxide, sodium persulfate, potassium persulfate, lithium persulfate and ammonium persulfate, and the amount of the initiator is 0.01 to 3 wt % based on a total amount of the acrylic monomer.

7. A water-based polyurethane resin, formed by the method according to claim 1 , wherein the water-based polyurethane resin includes a cyclic structure.
