DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a method for the production of corrosion-inhibiting coatings on metallic surfaces, according to which monomeric phenols and low molecular condensation products of formaldehyde and ammonia or amines are applied onto the pretreated surface and cured under heat.
2. Prior Art
According to conventional methods, metalic surfaces are coated with finished polymers by lacquering, immersing, spraying, powder application and the like. With phenol/formaldehyde condensation products, however, only relatively thick and porous coatings can be produced by these methods.
It is known from German Pat. No. 27 12 903 that thin anticorrosive coatings consisting of condensation products of phenols with low molecular condensation products of formaldehyde with ammonia or amines can be produced on metallic surfaces by evaporation. Thereby a very homogeneous distribution of the individual components on metallic surfaces can be obtained. This, during the curing step, results in non-porous coatings. However, the major drawbacks of this method are that considerable resources pertaining to the apparatus are necessary and that coatings can only be produced on surfaces which can readily be cooled.
BROAD DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The object of the present invention is to overcome the above stated disadvantages of the prior art and to develope a method for the production of thin and non-porous coatings on the basis of phenol/formaldehyde condensation products on metallic surfaces.
According to the invention a solution, a dispersion or a powder of a mixture of starting materials is applied onto the surface to be coated together with a wetting agent which is chemically reactive with at least one of the starting materials.
Preferably fatty amines, fatty acid amides, fatty acid alkanolamides, condensated amines, polyamines or protein ampholytes are used as the wetting agents. Preferably the amount of the phenolic component in the mixture is 50 to 96 weight percent. Preferably the amount of the wetting agent in the mixture is from 0.01 to 10 weight percent. Also, preferably bisphenol A is used as the phenolic component and hexamethylenetetramine is used as formaldehyde condensation product. The ratio of bisphenol A to hexamethylenetetramine in the mixture is preferably 4:1.
According to the present invention the phenolic component of the monomeric mixture may consist of substituted or nonsubstituted phenols, for example, phenol, bisphenol A, m-cresole, 3,5-dimethylphenol, m-chlorophenol, salicylic aldehyde, m-isopropenylphenol, resorcinol and 4,4'-diphenylol. The phenolic component may be an individual phenol comouond or a mixture of phenols. Preferably biphenol A is used.
Suitable condensation products of formaledehyde and amines are, for example, hexamethylenetetramine, bis(dimethylamino)-methane, a condensation product from 1 mole of phenol, 3 moles of formaldehyde and 3 moles of dimethylamine (2,4,6-tris-dimethylaminophenol), and the like and mixtures thereof. Hexamethylenetetramine is preferably used.
The mixing ratio of the phenolic component to the formaldehyde condensation product may vary widely. Mixtures containing 50 to 95 weight percent of the phenolic component are preferred.
In order to achieve the best possible homogeneous mixture of powdery starting materials, the powder mixture can be fused prior to its application and then can be pulverized again.
Homogeneous distribution of the phenolic compounds and the formaldehyde condensation products on the metallic surface to be coated is achieved according to the invention by using a wetting agent. However, conventional wetting agents substantially reduce the adhesion of the protective coatings on the metallic surface. Very good adhesion is achieved only by tensides acting as wetting agents. In addition such wetting agents cause homogeneous distribution of the individual components on the metallic substrate. Suitable wetting agents are in particular fatty amines, fatty acid amides, fatty acid alkanolam
