The acrylate urethane compound is the reaction product of a hydroxy acrylate and an isocyanate having at least two isocyanate groups, where the hydroxy acrylate is equimolar (when a diisocyanate and a hydroxy acrylate having a single hydroxyl group are used) with the isocyanate ? 10 mole %. Also disclosed is a method of making the resin composition.

Description

57~5 l 52,325 W CURA~LE HIGH TENSILE STRENGTH
RESIN COMPOSITION
BAC~GROUND OF THE INVENTION
Amorphous metal strip continuously wound into toroidal cores for use in distribution transformers dramat-ically reduces the magnetic loss compared to orientated steel coils. However, the amorphous metal strip wound cores are very frayile and are not self-supporting, so an external support system is required to protect the cores against mechanical ~orces during handling, winding, and assembly operations. This can be accomplished by coating or encapsulating the cores with a suitable resin. Resins for use in this application must have a very high tensile strength. It is also desirable that they cure rapidly without the evolution of polluting solvents.
SU~MARY OF THE INVENTION
We have discovered a high tensile strength UV
curable resin composition which is ideally suited for use in coating and encapsulating amorphous metal strip cores.
The resin compositions of this invention, without the addition of any filler, have tensile strengths as high as 7200 psi at room temperature and 850 psi at 100C. When a filler is added, of course, the tensile strength of the resulting filled resin is increased. In addition, the filled resin compositions of this invention exhibit ex-tremely good dimensional stability, typically only 7%
elongation at room temperature and 9% elongation at 100~.

'7~j5
2 52,325 Other advantages of the resin compositions of this invention are that they can be cured very fast, usually in only a few seconds, without the evolution of any solvent. Moreover, coatings as thick as 20 mils or more can be formed from these resin compositions.
DE~CRI~TION OF THE INVENTION
In the first step of the process of this inven-tion, a polyester is prepared by reacting a polyhydroxy compound with an aromatic di- or polyfunctional acid, anhydride, or ester. The polyhydroxy compound is a com-pound ~ ~ contains three or more hydroxyl groups~such as trimethylol propane, tris (2-hydroxyethyl) isocyanurate (THEIC), tris (2-hydroxyethyl) cyanurate, glycerol, tri-methylol ethane, pentaerythritol, trimethylol propane, or erythritol. The preferred polyhydroxy compound is THEIC as that gives a better tensile strength and toughness.
The aromatic di- or polyfunctio~ l~ acid, anhy-dride, or ester is an aromatic compound ~ has two or more acid, anhydrlde, or ester groups, or mixtures of these groups. Difunctional compounds are preferred as there is less chance of a resin composition gelling with a difunc-tional compound. Esters are preferred for a smoother reaction, but compounds having acid groups are less expen-sive. Suitable compounds include terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, trimellitic acid, trimellitic anhydride
3,3',4,4'-benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride, pyro-mellitic dianhydride, polyazelaic polyanhydride, pyro-mellitic tetracarboxylic acid, 3,3',4,4'-benzophenone tetracarboxylic acid, and alkyl (methyl, ethyl, propyl, etc.) esters of these acids. The preferred aromatic compound is terephthalic acid as it gives better tensile strength.
The polyester reaction product of the polyhydroxy compound and the aromatic compound must have excess hydroxy groups in order to react with the acrylate urethane com-pound, which is also part of the resin composition. If insufficient hydroxyl groups are present on the polyester, 5~
3 52,325 the resin product will have poor tensile strength, and if too ma~y hydroxyl groups are present on the polyester, the resin product will have poor shelf life. If less than 150 mole % excess hydroxyl groups are present, cure is slow, and if more than 250 mole % excess hydroxyl groups are present, unreactive polyhydroxy compound will be present and toughness and tensile strength will be lower. If about 200 mole % excess hydroxyl groups are present ~n the polyester, the resin product will have the maximum tensile strength. The proportions of polyhydroxy compound to aromatic compound are adjusted to give a mole % of excess hydroxyl groups within this range. The reaction of the polyhydroxy compound with the aromatic compound proceeds without the presence of a solvent, but a suitable amount 15 (about 0.05 to about 0.50 parts per lOO parts resin (phr)) of an esterification catalyst is needed. Any esterifica~
?;~'"' ~
tion catalyst~ such as dibutyl tin oxide, tetraisopropyL
titanate, dihydroxy butyl tln chloride, triphenyl tin chloride, or triphenyL tin acetate can be used. Dibutyl tin oxide is preferred as it is an inexpensive, readily avaiLable, and works well. The composition of the poly-hydroxy compound and the aromatic compound is mixed thor-oughly and is heated in 15C increments over about a one hour period to a temperature of about 210 to about 250C, or until no further condensate is emitted.
The reaction of the polyhydroxy compound with the aromatic compound produces an ester oligomer having excess hydroxyl groups:
O O
1~ 11 R OHl + COOH-R2-C~GH -~ HO-~l- C R2 ll 2 OH OH OH
In the next step in the process of this in~en-tion, an acrylate urethane is produced by the reaction of a hydroxy acrylate with an isocyanate. The hydroxy acrylate is a compound having at least one hydroxyl group and at least one acrylate group. Preferably~ the hydroxy acrylate y~
~ 52,325 includes only a single hydroxyl group because polyhydroxy groups will form a high molecular weight polymer with isocyanate instead of the adduct of hyd:roxyethyl acrylate and isocyanate. Also, the hydroxy acrylate preferably includes only a single acrylate group because the poly-acrylate group will increase the undesi:red properties such as brittleness and high shrinkage. Suitable hydroxy acrylates include hydroxyethyl acrylate, hydroxyethyl-~-carboxyethyl acrylate, and 3-hydroxyethyl acrylate. Hydrox-yethyl acrylate is preferred as it is readily available and produces a tougher product. Aromatic hydroxy acrylates are preferred for thermal stability and toughness; however, they are not commercially available at this time.
The isocyanate compound used in preparing the acrylate urethane must have two or more isocyanate groups.
Preferably, the isocyanate compound ls an aromatic compound as they produce tougher resln products. Sui~able isocyan-ate compounds include meta-phenylene diisocyana~e, tol-uylene diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, meta-xylyene diisocyanate, 4,41-diisocyanato diphenyl sulfone,
4,~'-diisocyanato diphenyl ether, and 4,4'-diisocyanato diphenyl methane. The preferred isocyanate is toluylene diisocyanate as it is readily available and gives a tougher product.
In reacting the hydroxy acrylate compound with the isocyanate compound, equimolar (if a diisocyanate and a hydroxy acrylate having a single hydroxyl group are used) amounts are used, though either component may be present in up to about 10 mole % excess of equimolar (if a diisocy-anate and a hydroxy acrylate having a single hydroxyl group are used). No solvent or catalyst is required. The mixture of the hydroxy acrylate and the isocyanate compound -reacts exothermically and is preferably cooled to under 70C
during the reaction because a higher reaction temperature will give a premature gellation. After about one hour the reaction is usually complete. The reaction of hydroxy acrylate with the isocyanate compound produces an acrylate urethane, containing one urethane group and one nonreacted isocyanate group.

o In the next step of the process of this inven-tion, the polyester is reacted with the acrylate urethane.
These two components are reacted stoichiometrically, although up to about 10 mole % excess polyester may be present. Excess acrylate urethane, however, should not be present as it is toxic in the product. A stoichiometric reaction would typically mean that about 4 moles of acry-late urethane are present for each mole of polyester that is present. Whi1e no solvent is required for this reac-tion, it is necessary to include a reactive diluent to solubilize the polyester and the acrylate urethane. Unlike a solvent, a raactive diluent is reacted into the rasin product and is not volatilized durlng resin cure. The lS reactive diluent is a liquid acrylate which has a vi~cosity of less than 1,000 centipoises (cps). The acrylate prefer-ably has two or more acrylate groups as this gives greater tensile strength in the product. Suitable examples of acrylates which can be used as reactive diluents include tetraethylene glycol diacrylate, 1,3-butylene glycol diacrylate, 1,4-butanediol diacrylate, diethylaneglycol diacrylate, 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate and neopentyl glycol diacrylate. The preferred reactive diluent is tetraethyl-ene glycol diacrylate because it has a low viscosity and gives a high tensile strength to the product. Sufficient reactive diluent should be used so that the resin compo-sition has a viscosity of less than 5,000 cps. If the resin composition viscosity is greater, the resin composi-tion will not flow readily and will not fill all of the interstices of the substrate. Typically, this means that the reactive diluent constitutes about 20 to about 60 % by weight of the total weight of the resin composi~ion.
If the resin composition is not to be used soon after i~ is prepared~it is desirable to include about 0.005 6 52,325 to about 0.05 % by weight (based on total resin composition weight) of an inhibitor to add to its shelf life. If less inhibitor is used the resin composition may start to gel during storage, and if more is used it may be difficult to gel the composition when it is used. Suitable inhibitors include benzoquinone, methyl-p-benzoquirlone, hydroquinone, h~droquinone monoethyl ether, and 2,3,5,6-tetrachlorobenzo-quinone. The preferred inhibitor is benzoquinone because it is readily available and it works well.
A photoinitiator sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light is reauired to cure the composition, but the photo-initiator need not be added to the composition until it is read~ to be used. Particularly stable photoinitiators can, however, be mixed into the resin composition when it is stored. ~xamples of suitable photoinitiators include isopropyl ben~oin ether, diethoxy phenyl acetophenone, 2,2-dimethoxy--2-phenyl acetophenone, isobutyL benzoin ether, and 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-phenyl-propan-1-one. The preferred photoinitiator is isobutyl benzoin ether because it is inexpensive, it is in easily applied liquid form, and has been found to work very well. Isobutyl benzoin ether is normally not added to the resin composition until the composition is to be applied and cured. Typically about 1 to about 5 phr of the photoinitiator is satisfactory.
The tensile strength of the cured resin composi-tion can be further increased by the addition of up to about 50 % by weight (based on total composition weight) of a filler. The filler should be transparent to ultraviolet light so that it does not absorb the ultraviolet light and prevent the resin composition from curing. Suitable fillers include fibers, roving, mat, or cloth of glass, polyethylene terephthalate, mica, ~uartz, silica, talc, calcium carbonate, and boron. The preferred filler is glass cloth as it has a very high tensile strength and has been found to work well.
When it is desired to use the resin composition, it is applied to a surface and is exposed to ultraviolet s 7 52,325 light. Any type of ultraviolet light is effecti~e alld a cornplete cure will normally occur in only a few seconds by a free radical curing mechanism.
The resin compositions of this inven~ion are primarily intended for use in bonding amorphous metal cores.
In that application, a primer resin is first applied to the core to insure good adhesion of the resin composition to the core. After the primer composition is app].ied, a filler is pressed into the primer coating, then the primer coating is cured. An example of a suitable primer composition can be found in U.S. Patent 4,481,258, which discloses an acrylated epoxy resin. The resin composition of this invention is then applied over the primer coating, filler is pressed into the resin coating, and the resin coating is cured with UV light.
Any number of layers of the resin coating and filler can be applied to build up the total thickness of the coating. It is preferable to post bake the coatings after UV curing to insure that the resin compositions have been comple~ely cured.
This can be accomplished by heating for 2 to 5 hours at abou-t 100 to 150C.
The resin compositions of this invention can also be used as adhesives, encapsulants, or as coatings in other applications.
The following example further illustrates this invention.
EXAMPLE
A polyester resin was made in a three liter four-neck reaction flask equipped with stirrer, thermometer, nitrogen sparge, and downward distillation column. The flask was charged with 218.6 grams of tris (2 hydroxyethyl) isocy-anurate, 69.8 grams of terephthalic acid, and 3.5 grams of deionized water. The reaction mixture was heated to 140C, and 0.8 grams of dibutyl tin oxide was added. The mixture was then reacted at 210 to 250C in 15C increments per hour until 17 ml of water was collected. The temperature was reduced to 120C and the resin ~5~~
8 52,325 was cut witil 517 grams tetraethylene glycol diacrylate (TEGDA).
An acrylate urethane was prepared in a one liter four~neck reaction flask equipped with stirrer, thermome-ter, nitrogen sparge, and water bath for cooling. Theflask was charged ~Jith 194.4 grams 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate and 0.1 grams benzo~uinone. To the mixture was gradually added 291.6 grams toluylene diisocyanate and the reaction mix~ure was kept cooled to a temperature just below 60~C.
After all the toluylene diisocyanate was added, the mixture was reacted at 60 to 70C for one hour. The acrylate urethane was poured under nitrogen into an air-tight tared container.
A resin composition was prepared by mixing 486 grams of the acrylate urethane with the entire amount of the polyester resin described above. The mixture was reacted 120C for one hour and was cut with 621,0 grams TECDA, then poured into a ta~ed container. The viscoslty of the resin composition was in the range of 3,000 to 5,000 cps at 25C. The resin was sensitized by the addition of 4 phr isobutyl benzoin ether sold by Stauffer Chemical Company under a trade designation "V-lO." This composition is identified as composition A.
Identical compositions B, C, and D were prepared in the same manner except that the 60% TEGDA was replaced with 26.7% phenoxyethyl acrylate (PEA) and 33.3% TEGDA, or 60% PEA, or 26.7% TEGDA and 33.3% trimethyl propane tri-acrylate (TMPTA), respectively.
Transformer oil compatibility tests (ASTMD-3455-78) were carried out using pieces of amorphous metal strip2 inches wide by 5 inches long by 0.005 inches thick. The specimens were coated with a primer composition which consisted of 56.70% (by weight) acrylated epoxy, 6.45%
acrylated urethane, 24.10% phenoxy ethyl acrylate, 7.98%
tetra ethylene glycol diacrylate and 3.85% isobutyl benzoin ether. A fiberglass cloth 4 inches by 12 inches was pressed into the primer composition coating and it was t~.S
9 52,325 cured with UV light. Compositions A, B, C, and D were then coated onto other specimens, a similar glass cloth was pressed into these coatings, and they were cured with UV
light. The specimens were all post baked for four hours at 150C. The results of the ASTM test indicated that the cured resin compositions do not contaminate transformer oil.
A 25 pound rectangular amorphous metal coil was encapsulated in the same manner and was then thermally cycled between -35C and 110C, nine times in air and nine times in transformer oil. The coating showed no visible damage after the c~ycling.
In other tests, coatings of the resins were applied to the mold of tensile test specimens (ASTM
0638-77a) until a layer 13 mils thick was obtained. Some of the coatings were post baked for four hours at 130C and sorne were not. The coatinqs were then tested for tensile strencJth and elongation at room temperature and at 100C.
