At present, there are two main methods for preparing silicone modified polyester resin: physical blending and chemical copolymerization. Generally speaking, the performance of chemically modified resins is superior to that of physical modified resins.
The simple blending method involves directly mixing polyester resin and silicone resin, which can improve the heat resistance and weather resistance of polyester resin; However, due to the great difference between the molecular structure and characteristics of silicone resin and polyester resin, their compatibility is poor. Organic silicone resin often accumulates on the surface of the coating and is prone to significant phase separation, which has a significant impact on the hardness, stability, and mechanical properties of the modified resin. It is difficult to meet the requirements of high-quality products for silicon modified polyester and will inevitably affect its promotion and application.
As the main component of silicon modified resin - polyester prepolymer, its relative molecular weight, distribution, and molecular chain structure will inevitably have a significant impact on the performance of the final modified resin. Generally speaking, polyester prepolymers contain more linear chain structures and have better flexibility; Containing more benzene rings, the hardness is better, and the miscibility with other resins is also better. The structure and composition of organic silicon intermediates are also important. Generally speaking, modifying organic silicon intermediates with side chains of benzene ring can improve their miscibility with other resins and wet dispersibility with pigments; The modification performance of organic silicon intermediates with ethyl, propyl or other longer burning groups on the side chain improves the weather resistance and water resistance of the modified resin.
