Abstract

The present invention provides an aqueous dispersion as a biobased binder and an aqueous coating composition comprising such aqueous dispersion and showing balanced stain resistance, freeze-thaw stability, and anti-clogging properties.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An aqueous dispersion, comprising, by weight based on the weight of the emulsion polymer,
from 39.5 to 53.5% of structural units of a soft alkyl (meth)acrylate with a biobased content more than 30% to 60%, wherein the soft alkyl (meth)acrylate is ethyl acrylate;
from 10% to 20% of structural units of a C 12 -C 16 -alkyl (meth)acrylate with a biobased content greater than 60%, wherein the C 12 -C 16 -alkyl (meth)acrylate comprises 62-78% of lauryl methacrylate, 22-38% of tetradecyl methacrylate, and 0 to 10% of hexadecyl methacrylate;
from 1.5% to 2% of structural units of ethylenically unsaturated monomer carrying at least one functional group, wherein the ethylenically unsaturated monomer carrying at least one functional group is selected from methacrylic acid, sodium styrene sulfonate, or a mixture thereof;
from 2% to 6% of structural units of acetoacetoxy alkyl methacrylate which is acetoacetoxy ethyl methacrylate;
from 29% to 36% of structural units of hard monomer which is methyl methacrylate;
from zero to 0.4% of structural units of (meth)acryl functional silane which is 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate, or y-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane or mixtures thereof;
from 0.2% to 0.8% of an epoxy functional silane, by weight based on the weight of emulsion polymer;
wherein the epoxy functional silane and structural units of (meth)acryl functional silane is present in a combined amount of from 0.2% to 1%, by weight based on the weight of the emulsion polymer; and
wherein total stain removal score is at least 60 using the GB/T 9780-2013 method.

2. The aqueous dispersion of claim 1 , wherein the epoxy functional silane is an epoxy oligomer, an epoxy silane compound, or a mixture thereof.

3. The aqueous dispersion of claim 2 , wherein the epoxy oligomer has the structure of formula (I),

wherein x is from 0 to 14, R 3 is —CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 —, and R 4 and R 5 each independently represent —OH, —OCH 3 , —OCH 2 CH 3 , or —CH 3 .

4. The aqueous dispersion of claim 2 , wherein the epoxy silane compound is selected from the group consisting of 3-glycidyloxypropyl trimethoxysilane, 3-glycidyloxypropyl triethoxysilane, 3-glycidyloxypropyl methyldiethoxysilane, 3-glycidyloxypropyl methyldimethoxysilane, or mixtures thereof.

5. The aqueous dispersion of claim 1 , wherein the emulsion polymer has a glass transition temperature of from −20 to 30° C.

6. An aqueous coating composition, comprising, aqueous dispersion of claim 1 .

7. The aqueous dispersion of claim 1 wherein the amount of the structural units of the hard monomer is from 30 to 36% based on the weight of the emulsion polymer.
