Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of functional coatings, specifically to a silver functional coating with high infrared transmittance that can be used in fields such as autonomous driving, smart homes, and security monitoring, as well as a method for preparing the functional coating and its applications. Background Technology
[0002] Infrared waves generally refer to electromagnetic waves with wavelengths between 0.75 and 1000 μm, specifically divided into near-infrared waves (0.75-2.5 μm), mid-infrared waves (2.5-25 μm), and far-infrared waves (25-1000 μm). Applications closely related to daily life primarily utilize near-infrared and mid-infrared waves, such as LiDAR sensors (typically with wavelengths of 905 nm and 1550 nm) used in autonomous driving, short-wave infrared cameras and mid-wave infrared thermal imaging cameras (typically with wavelengths less than 10 μm) used in smart homes or security systems, and long-wave infrared cameras used in intelligent assisted driving systems. In these application areas, some scenarios have high requirements for the appearance of the equipment, such as home smart appliances, commercial or industrial cameras, and infrared sensors used in automobiles, which typically require simple, understated dark-toned coatings such as black and silver. Silver coatings, in particular, are popular for their understated, textured, and elegant characteristics.
[0003] Currently, infrared-transparent black coatings have been widely developed and are gradually becoming commercially available, such as the pyrene black structure infrared-transparent pigment developed by BASF, or mixed infrared-transparent pigments made by blending high-transparency red, yellow, and blue pigments. Silver coatings, however, primarily achieve their silver appearance by adding flake-like aluminum pigment. Since aluminum flakes have a shielding effect on a wide range of electromagnetic waves (such as visible, infrared, and millimeter waves), even a small amount significantly reduces infrared penetration. Therefore, there are currently no publicly reported silver coatings with good infrared transmittance.
[0004] In view of this, there is an urgent need in the field to develop a silver functional coating with high infrared transmittance to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Based on the above facts, the purpose of this invention is to provide a silver functional coating with high infrared transmittance. It uses a type of inorganic oxide flake pigment with a silver appearance and is combined with a suitable resin and additive formulation system. The resulting functional coating has a silver appearance and high infrared transmittance. It can exhibit good transmittance performance in near-infrared, mid-infrared and far-infrared regions. It can be widely used on commonly used transparent materials such as glass and polycarbonate, and achieves the effects of high adhesion, high weather resistance and easy construction.

[0056] To more clearly illustrate the present invention, the following detailed description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, further clarifies the invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the specific descriptions below are illustrative rather than restrictive, and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods used in the following embodiments and comparative examples are conventional methods, and the raw materials and reagents used are products that can be purchased from conventional commercial channels.
[0057] The above technical solution will be described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0064]
[0065]
[0066] Comparative Examples 1-3: Coatings 1-3 used as comparative examples
[0067] Coatings 1-3, used as comparative examples, were prepared according to the formulations shown in Table 2 below, and the preparation steps are described below.
[0068] S1: Add deionized water, dispersant, and aluminum pigment to a mixing tank and stir at 100-300 r / min for 30 min;
[0069] S2: While stirring, continue to add the water-based resin, crosslinking agent, rheology modifier, remaining other additives, and cosolvent in sequence, and stir until fully mixed;
[0070] S3: Adjust the pH to 7.5-8.5 using a pH adjuster to obtain coatings 1-3 as comparative examples.
[0071] Table 2 Formulations of Comparative Examples 1-3
[0072]
[0073] It should be noted that none of the comparative examples 1-3 contain the silver flake-like inorganic pigment described in this invention; instead, they are replaced with aluminum pigments of varying amounts. Therefore, none of them are within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0074] The coatings obtained in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were sprayed for infrared transmittance testing. The substrate used for spraying was transparent quartz glass (60mm*60mm*2mm, infrared transmittance >90%). Baking conditions were 140℃ for 30 minutes, resulting in samples with a dry film thickness of approximately 20μm. After 24 hours, optical properties were measured using a HITACHI U4100 UV-Vis-NIR spectrometer and a BYK-MAC analyzer. The test results are shown in Table 4.
[0075] Examples 7-8: Silver functional coatings with high infrared transmittance 7-8
[0076] Silver functional coatings with high infrared transmittance 7-8 were prepared according to the formulations shown in Table 3 below, and the preparation steps are as follows.
[0077] S1: Add deionized water, dispersant, and silver inorganic flake pigment to a mixing tank and stir at 100-300 r / min for 30 min;
[0078] S2: While maintaining stirring, continue to add the aqueous resin, rheology modifier, remaining other additives, and part of the cosolvent in sequence, stirring until fully mixed. Then adjust the pH to 7.5-8.5 with a pH adjuster to obtain mixture A.
[0079] S3: In a separate stirred tank, add the crosslinking agent aqueous isocyanate and the remaining cosolvent, and stir until fully mixed to obtain mixture B;
[0080] S4: Before use, mix mixture A and mixture B thoroughly to obtain the silver functional coating with high infrared transmittance 7-8.
[0081] Table 3 Formulations of Examples 7-8
[0082]
[0083]
[0084] The coatings obtained in Examples 7-8 were sprayed separately for infrared transmittance testing. The substrate used for spraying was transparent polycarbonate, and the baking conditions were 80°C for 40 minutes to obtain samples with a dry film thickness of approximately 20 μm. After standing for 24 hours, samples were tested using a HITACHIU 4100 UV-Vis-NIR spectrometer, and optical properties were measured using a BYK-MAC analyzer. The test results are shown in Table 4.
[0085] Table 4. Infrared transmittance test results of Examples 1-8 and Comparative Examples 1-3
[0086]
[0087] As shown in Table 4, the solutions described in Examples 1-6 all achieved a significant improvement in transmittance, with the highest transmittance exceeding 80%. In contrast, the solutions described in Comparative Examples 1-3 had extremely low transmittance for infrared waves, only about 1-2%. Devices using this coating must avoid infrared sensors, which limits the design of the silver appearance. Generally, improving near-infrared transmittance is difficult, especially at 905nm. The functional coating described in this invention achieves a good silver appearance while possessing high infrared transmittance.
[0088] Examples 7-8 mainly demonstrate implementation methods for substrates that cannot be heated at high temperatures and require low-temperature curing. It can be seen that the functional coating described in this invention also exhibits a good silver appearance and high infrared transmittance. It should be noted that because polycarbonate has strong absorption at 2.5 μm, this material cannot achieve infrared transmission in this wavelength band, which is unrelated to the coating.
[0089] The coatings obtained in Examples 1-8 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were further functionally tested, and the results are shown in Table 5.

[0092] As shown in Table 5, the basic properties of the functional coating described in this invention are basically the same as those of the aluminum pigment, and it also has good angle-dependent color brightness (FI), good shimmer (G), and good hiding power and adhesion.
[0093] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to exhaustively list all the implementation methods here. All obvious variations or modifications derived from the technical solutions of the present invention are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
