Method for Preparing Silicone Modified Polyester Resin

Apr 24, 2023

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.

Physical blend methods
The physical blending method is a method of mixing polyester resin and silicone resin through physical methods. The physical blending method can be further divided into two types: simple blending method and adding a third phase blending method.

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.

Chemical modification method
The chemical modification method is mainly to connect the polyester resin at the end or side chain of the polysiloxane oxygen burning main chain through polycondensation reaction to form block, graft or interpenetrating network copolymers, and use chemical bond to combine the two polymers with relatively different polarity.

This method can improve the compatibility between the two phases, inhibit the migration of polysiloxane molecules to the surface, and achieve uniform dispersion of silicone resin and polyester resin at the micro level.

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.
