Ths invention also relates to the use of these amino-functional polysiloxanes in resin- based compositions useful for protective coatings and the like, This invention further relates epoxy-polysiloxane resin based compositions seful for protective coatings and the like having improved gloss retention BACKGROUND [0002]. Polysiloxanes are known to give interesting prop fttes a resins and costings. True advancements in the State-of-the-art for protective coatings require substantial Jmprovemenis in weathering (primarily resistance 0 ulra- violet radiation), beat resistance, chemical resistance and corrosion control. Polysiloxane chemistry offers the poten- tial for providing many of these advancements, Polysiloxane {defined as a polymer consisting of repeating silicon- ‘oxygen atoms in the backbone that imparts several advan- tages over previously used carbon-based polymer binders; ‘one of these advantages being an enhanced chemical and thermal resistance due t the silicon-oxygen bond. Polysi- Joxane’s polymer linkage is also transparent to ultraviolet light making it resistant to degradation by ultaviolet ra tion, Finally, polysiloxane is not combustible and is resistant toa wide range of chemicals and solvents, including acids [0003] | Amino-functional siloxanes have been described, US. Pat. No. 4,413,108 to Wacker describes a process for preparing amino-functional polysiloxanes and copolymers thereof, ‘These amino-funetional polysiloxanes possess. & SiC bond between the polymere polysiloxane backbone ‘nd the functional linking arm, Furthermore, DE 125 171 to Schering describes a process for preparing amino-fune- tional siloxanes. [0004] Epoxy-hased protective coating materials are well, Known and have gained commercial acceptance as protec- tive and decorative coatings fr steel, aluminum, galvanized steel and concrete in maintenance, marine, construction, architectural, arerafl and product finishing’ markets. The basic aw materials used to prepare these coatings generally ‘comprise as essential components (a) an epoxy resi, (b) 2 hardener and (c) a piement or filler component [0005] Epoxy-hased protective coatings possess many’ properties Which make them desirable as coating materials. ‘They are realy available and ate easly applied by avarety ‘of methods including spraying, colling and brushing. They adhere well o steel, concrete and other substrates, have low ‘moisture vapor transmission rates and act as baeiees 10 ‘water, chloride and sulfate ion ingress, provide excelent ‘conosion protection under a variety of atmospheric expo- ‘ire conliions and have good resistance to many chemicals and solvents. Epoxy-based coatings generally show excel- leat protective properties, but have a considerable drawback hiel isthe limited gloss and color eetention when atmo- spherically exposed, [0006] _Epoxy-polysifoxane based compounds are known, from U.S, Pat, No, 5,618,860, Although epoxy-polysiloxane based coating materials generally do have resistance 10 ‘weathering in sunlight, some of them still have poor gloss retention, Jul. 7, 2005 [0007] Thus, while epoxy-polysitoxane based coating materials have gined commercial acceptance, the need rnevercless remo for epoxy-polysiloxane based materi als with improved properties. Coating materials. with ‘improved gloss retention are needed for both primary and secondary chemical containment structures, for protecting steel and concrete in chemical, power generation, ral car, sewage and waste water tealment, and paper and pulp processing industries. [0008] 11 is an object of the present invention to provide ‘ew amino-Iunetional polysiloxanes with great variety in amine structures, whieh can be prepared with a simple ‘method.

A further object of the present invention is therefore {o provide an cpoxy-polysiloxane based coating composi- ‘ion having improved gloss reteation while other properties like curing, hardness development, and chemical resistance ave preserved SUMMARY OP THE INVENTION [0009] In s frst aspect of the present invention, novel amino-funetionalpolysiloxanes. of formula (1) are escribed, wherein each R’ is independently selected from the group comprising alkyl and aryl, each R® is indepen- ently selected from the group comprising hydrogen, alkyl and aryl radicals, nis selected so tit the molecular weight forthe functional polysiloxane is inthe range of from 40) 10 10,008 and R? isa bivalent radial or -O—R*—-NH—R?™ is hydroxy or alkoxy, and R° is selected from the group comprising hydrogen, or aminoalkyl, amioalkeayl, ami oaryl, aminocyeloalkyl radical, optionally substituted by alkyl, aryl, cycloalkyl, halogen, hydroxy, alkoxy, thioalkyl, ‘amino, amino derivatives, amido, amidoxy, nitro, e¥ano, eto, acyl derivatives, acyloxy derivatives, carboxy, ester, ther, esteroxy, heteroeyce, alten or alkynyl and wherein (0 40 9076 of —O—R°—NII—R? is hydroxy or alkoxy. ® [0010] According to an embodiment, the amino-fusetional polysiloxane of formula (1) has preferably the following Stoichiometric formula US 2005/0148752 Al WOO.
