Abstract
AbstractEpoxy methacrylate resin (EMA) UV‐curable coatings exhibit high reactivity, low viscosity and excellent chemical resistance in environmentally friendly coatings. A novel EMA containing phthalazinone moieties for high temperature resistant UV‐curable coatings was synthesized. The formulations were cured with hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA) and trimethylol propane triacrylate (TMPTA) as reactive diluents promoted by a photoinitiator, and then interpenetrating polymer networks were generated. The mechanical, chemical and thermal properties of the clear coatings were characterized using Chinese National Standard methods (GB). EMA was used with UV radiation curing in combination with 6.7 wt% of HDDA and 13.4 wt% of TMPTA, and the properties of the cured films were as follows: pencil hardness of 5 H, 30% NaOH resistance for 30 days, 15% HCl resistance for 10 days, 3% NaCl resistance for 30 days and 5% weight loss temperature of 300.5 °C. EMA UV‐curable coatings containing phthalazinone exhibit excellent chemical and thermal stability, and could be potential candidates for UV‐curable zero volatile organic compound coatings applied in the fields of salt spray corrosion, strong radiation and high‐temperature resistance.
