Background technology
[0003]
 Conventionally, thermosetting resin compositions containing polyols and alkyl etherified melamines have been used in various fields such as automobile paints and home appliance paints, and the storage stability of the compositions is good. In addition, it is required to have excellent durability and appearance of the obtained cured film. Further, curing of the thermosetting resin composition requires a heating time of 10 to 60 minutes at a temperature of approximately 110 to 160 ° C., but from the viewpoint of energy saving, heat that can be cured at a lower temperature and in a shorter time. There is a strong demand for curable resins.
[0004]
 In addition, as a steel sheet used for outdoor building materials such as roofs and wall materials and home appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, and lighting fixtures, a coating is applied before molding and cutting, which is called pre-coated metal. Steel sheets are widely used. Pre-coated metal coating materials containing polyols and alkyl etherified melamine are used in various fields such as automobile paints and home appliance paints, and the coating materials have good storage stability and are obtained. It is required to have excellent durability and appearance of the cured film.
[0005]
 Generally, pre-coated metal is coated in a continuous line, and the drying time of about 10 to 120 seconds can be secured for its curing, but the peak metal temperature (PMT), which is the maximum temperature reached by the metal to be coated, is 150 to 260 ° C. Since it is necessary to reach the temperature, the drying furnace temperature may reach 300 ° C., and in recent years, there is a strong demand for a thermosetting resin that can be cured in a shorter time, particularly from the viewpoint of energy saving.
[0006]
 Here, in the cross-linking reaction between the polyol and the alkyl etherified melamine , ether exchange proceeds between the hydroxyl group (A- OH ) of the polyol and the ether group (B- OR ) of the alkyl etherified melamine, and the alkyl etherified melamine The derived alcohol (R-OH) is desorbed. Although this reaction is an equilibrium reaction, cross-linking can proceed irreversibly by volatilizing the desorbed alcohol to the outside of the system, and the conditions for this are a temperature of approximately 110 to 160 ° C and heating for 10 to 60 minutes. It takes time. A catalyst may be used for the purpose of promoting cross-linking in this cross-linking reaction, and it has been reported that a Lewis acid catalyst is effective in addition to protonic acid.
[0007]
 For example, in Patent Document 1, various Lewis acids can be applied when a polyol having an epoxy equivalent, hydroxyl value, glass transition temperature and weight average molecular weight in a specific range is cured with an amino resin or an isocyanate containing a block. It is disclosed that a particularly preferable catalyst is a zinc catalyst such as zinc chloride, zinc naphthenate, and zinc octylate.
[0008]

When the cross-linking reaction of the cross-linking agent and the epoxy resin is promoted, and when a low boiling point solvent such as an aromatic compound, an ester or a ketone solvent or a mixture of an aromatic ester or a ketone solvent is required as a solvent, rapid solvent evaporation is required. It is stated to be advantageous. However, as a result of the verification by the present inventors, good results were not obtained when the tests were conducted with reference to these examples.
[0009]
 As the alkyl etherified melamine, industrially, methyl etherified melamine (hereinafter referred to as "methylated melamine") and butyl etherified melamine (hereinafter referred to as "butylated melamine") are produced and used. However, in Patent Document 3, baking with ethyl etherified melamine (hereinafter referred to as "ethylated melamine") resin at 90 to 180 ° C. for 20 to 30 minutes (more specifically, 120 ° C. for 30 minutes). It is disclosed that by curing the polyol under the conditions without a catalyst, a cured film having a better balance between hardness and water resistance can be formed as compared with the case where methylated melamine and butylated melamine are used.
[0010]
 Further, Patent Document 4 describes that in the reaction of an acrylic polyol having a hydroxyl value of 80 to 110 mgKOH / g and a weight average molecular weight of 10,000 to 100,000 and an alkyl etherified melamine, a phosphoric acid alkyl ester is used as a catalyst and 80 to 120 ° C. (more specific). It is disclosed that a cured film having certain physical properties can be formed by heating at 80 ° C. for 30 minutes. Unlike Patent Document 3, Patent Document 4 does not show that ethylated melamine is preferable to methylated melamine and butylated melamine, and even in Examples, a coating formed of ethylated melamine or butylated melamine. There is no difference in the physical properties of the membrane. In addition, Patent Document 4 shows that the performance is not sufficiently exhibited when an acrylic polyol having a hydroxyl value of 60 mgKOH / g is used.
[0011]
 Patent Document 5 discloses a coating film for an outer panel containing a specific alkoxysilane, at least one partially hydrolyzable condensate of an organosilicon compound, and a film-forming resin.

Outline of the invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
[0014]
 The present invention provides a thermosetting resin composition that can obtain a cured film having excellent durability and appearance at a low temperature and having excellent storage stability, and a method for producing a cured film composed of the composition. The purpose is.
[0015]
 Further, according to the present invention, a cured film having excellent durability and appearance can be obtained in a short heating time, and a coating material for pre-coated metal having excellent storage stability, and a method for producing a cured film made of the coating material. The purpose is to provide.
Means to solve problems
[0016]
 As a result of studying catalysts and solvents for thermosetting resin compositions containing polyols and alkyl etherified melamines and coating materials for precoated metals, the present inventors have compared them with the widely used protonic acid catalysts. A pair anion produced by deprotonating a cation consisting of a Lewis acid having a metal center, particularly a metal element having an electronegative degree of Pauling of 1.31 to 2.02, and a protonic acid having an acid dissociation constant of 1.0 or less. It was found that the use of a Lewis acid catalyst consisting of the above has a high effect of promoting the reaction at a low temperature and a high effect of promoting the reaction in a short time.
[0017]
 The reason why such a high effect can be obtained is that when the Lewis acid catalyst interacts with oxygen and nitrogen atoms contained in polyol and alkyl etherified melamine, Lewis having a metal element whose electronegativity is too low is the central component. When an acid is used, the interaction is strong, but the polarization is too large and the solubility in polyols, alkyl etherified melamines, and solvents tends to be poor. Conversely, if the electronegativity of the central metal is too high, the interaction is weak. It is considered that this is because the activation effect tends to be inferior. Further, the reason why the pair anions having a pKa of 1.0 or less are good is that they are stable as anions and the electron density of the Lewis acid center can be kept lower, so that the Lewis acid center metal and the hetero atom are used. It is presumed that this is due to the increased interaction between the two, which effectively functions as a catalyst.
[0018]
 Therefore, as a result of further investigating the influence of the solubility of the Lewis acid catalyst on the solvent, the present inventors further investigated the solvent having a solubility of the Lewis acid catalyst of 0.01% by mass or more in a certain amount or more with respect to the entire solvent. It has been found that when it is not contained in an amount, the above-mentioned reaction promoting effect is limited.

[0142]
 After attaching Thermolabel (R) -5E125 and 170 (manufactured by Nichiyu Giken Kogyo Co., Ltd.) to a galvanized iron plate (150 mm x 300 mm x thickness 0.3 mm), the coating material is cured and dried on the opposite surface of the label. After painting with a bar coater to a thickness of 15 μm, it was immediately placed in an automatic discharge dryer ATO-102 (manufactured by Nippon Test Panel Industry Co., Ltd.) and heated at a predetermined temperature and time. Since the thermolabel discolors when it reaches each temperature in units of 10 ° C., the maximum temperature at which discoloration is observed is defined as PMT.
[0143]
 The holding time of the PMT was set from the time when the plate to be coated was taken out of the oven and discoloration was observed every second by the above measurement method, and the elapsed time from that time was described. In addition, in the examination at n = 2, if there was a label that was discolored and a label that was not discolored, it was considered that the label was discolored at that time.
[0144]
 In the case of Example B1, when the two coated plates were placed in an oven at 160 ° C and discharged after 34 seconds, the label at 120 ° C was discolored but the label at 130 ° C was not discolored. When the two separately painted plates were discharged at 160 ° C. after 35 seconds, one of the labels at 130 ° C. was discolored, so that it was considered that the temperature reached 130 ° C. within 34 to 35 seconds. When the two separately painted plates were discharged at 160 ° C. after 39 seconds, the label at 140 ° C. was discolored, but the label at 150 ° C. was not discolored.
[0145]
 From the above results, the time that the PMT was held at 140 ° C. and the coated plate at 130 ° C. or higher reached 130 ° C. within 34 to 35 seconds, and was held at least at 130 ° C. or higher for 4 seconds of 35 to 39 seconds. Therefore, it was written as 4 to 5 seconds.
[0146]
 The test plate with a coating film obtained as described above was evaluated. The evaluation results are shown in Tables 10 to 13.
