Preparation and Performance of Fluorocarbon Polyurethane Amino Baking Paint for Graffiti-Resistant Whiteboards

Abstract

Fluorocarbon polyurethane amino baking paint for graffiti-resistant whiteboards was designed and prepared. Firstly, perfluorohexylethyl alcohol (TEOH6) and hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) were reacted under certain conditions to obtain fluorocarbon mono-isocyanate, then fluorocarbon diols were obtained by reacting with trimethylolpropane, and finally fluorocarbon polyurethane hydroxy resin was formed by reacting with hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and polyester diols. The synthesized hydroxyl resin was used as the basis to configure fluorocarbon polyurethane amino baking paint for graffiti-resistant whiteboards and was upgraded by adding hydroxyl silicone oil. Secondly, a series of performance tests, such as hardness, adhesion, flexibility, and corrosion resistance, were conducted to verify that the baking paint possessed excellent properties for use on writing whiteboards. The graffiti resistance of each paint film was evaluated by different methods, and it was found that the graffiti resistance was mainly due to the excellent hydrophobicity and oleophobicity of the paint films after the enrichment of fluorocarbon chains on their surfaces, and the combined effect of low surface energy caused by hydroxyl silicone oil crosslinked with amino resin. This study provides a theoretical basis and technical support for the preparation of fluorocarbon polyurethane baking paint for graffiti-resistant whiteboards.
