Problems solved by technology

However, these materials also exhibit a major disadvantage, namely, their low hardness in comparison with that of glass.
Consequently, these materials are more easily subject to scratching and to detrimental changes, even in the context of normal use.
A significant disadvantage of these compositions is the time necessary for the crosslinking.
However, a disadvantage of these compositions is that of having a poorer resistance to abrasion than that of the coatings crosslinked by the thermal route.
One disadvantage of the technique described in this patent is, first, that it involves the preliminary functionalization of the colloidal silica by an alkoxysilane and, secondly, that it is necessary to remove the solvent for functionalization of the silica before carrying out the crosslinking.
The anti-mist coating obtained from the composition described in FR-A-2,749,587 has the principal disadvantage of being sensitive to inhibition by atmospheric oxygen.
However, no composition of the prior art is capable of providing a hard coating jointly exhibiting anti-mist and anti-fouling properties.
This is because the mechanisms of the anti-mist and anti-fouling properties are generally incompatible.

Preparation of a Flexform 40 Thermal Control Formulation

[0135] This solution is sold by Exxene for abrasion-resistant coatings.

[0136] This solution is applied by dipping to a polycarbonate sheet at 20° C. and is then dried at 25° C. for 10 min, followed by thermal crosslinking at 122° C. for 35 min.

[0137] The thickness of the film is two micrometers. A Taber abrasion resistance test is carried out according to standard T30-015 with a load of 500 g and 300 cycles with CS10-F abrasive wheels. A variation in gloss of 10% is found. % Haze=10%.

[0138] The pencil hardness of the coating ranges from 4 H to 6 H.

Preparation of a UV Formulation According to the Invention Without Anti-Mist Agent

[0139] 10 g of siloxane resin having a content of monomer (A) of greater than 90%, obtained by hydrosilylation of 4-vinylcyclohex-1-ene epoxide (VCMX), 1.25 g of photoinitiator systems including 20% of photoinitiator P1 dissolved in isopropanol, and 40 g of Highlink colloidal silica as a 30% solution in isopropanol are charged to a beaker.

[0140] The system is stable at ambient temperature for at least 6 months with the exclusion of light and heat. The solution is applied by dipping to a polycarbonate sheet.

[0141] The sheet is allowed to drain for one minute.

[0142] The system is crosslinked by passing, at the rate of 5 m / min, over a UV bench equipped with two 160 W / cm Hg lamps. The system is dry and very hard at the outlet of the bench.

[0143] The thickness of the film is 3 micrometers.

[0144] The pencil hardness is 3 H immediately and greater than 4 H after 24 hours.
