AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The composition achieves improved scratch resistance, with a critical load of at least 235 mN, allowing for self-repair of scratches under controlled conditions, making it suitable for applications requiring high durability.

Problems solved by technology

However, the scratch resistance of the cured product is not necessarily satisfied in some applications.
This limits the applications for the ultraviolet curable composition.

first embodiment

[0012] First, an actinic energy ray-curable composition according to a first embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0013] The actinic energy ray-curable composition according to the first embodiment contains two or more kinds of urethane (meth)acrylates different from one another in the number of repetitions of a caprolactone unit per one residue of a polycaprolactone-modified alkyl (meth)acrylate.

[0014] The average number of repetitions per one molecule of the urethane (meth)acrylate relative to the number of repetitions of the caprolactone unit per one residue of the polycaprolactone-modified alkyl (meth)acrylate is preferably in the range of from 1 to 5, more preferably in the range of from 1 to 2.5. The maximum difference in the number of repetitions of the caprolactone unit per one residue of the polycaprolactone-modified alkyl (meth)acrylate between two kinds of the urethane (meth)acrylates is preferably 9 or less, more preferably in the range of from 4 to 9.

second embodiment

[0036] Next, an actinic energy ray-curable composition according to a second embodiment is described mainly with respect to points differing from the actinic energy ray-curable composition according to the first embodiment.

[0037] The actinic energy ray-curable composition according to the second embodiment contains a urethane (meth)acrylate obtained by reacting an organic isocyanate with two or more kinds of polycaprolactone-modified alkyl (meth)acrylates different from each other in the number of repetitions of a caprolactone unit per one molecule.

[0038] The average of the number of repetitions of the caprolactone unit per one molecule of the polycaprolactone-modified alkyl (meth)acrylate is preferably in a range of from 1 to 5, more preferably in a range of from 1 to 2.5. The maximum difference in the number of repetitions of the caprolactone unit between two kinds of the polycaprolactone-modified alkyl (meth)acrylates is preferably 9 or less, more preferably in a range of from ...

third embodiment

[0044] Next, an actinic energy ray-curable composition according to a third embodiment is described mainly with respect to points differing from the actinic energy ray-curable compositions according to the first and second embodiments.

[0045] The actinic energy ray-curable composition according to the third embodiment contains a urethane (meth)acrylate obtained by reacting an organic isocyanate with a polycaprolactone-modified alkyl (meth)acrylate, and a urethane (meth)acrylate obtained by reacting an organic isocyanate with a hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate.

[0046] Specific examples of the hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate include a compound represented by the following general formula (5) such as hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate, and hydroxybutyl (meth)acrylate.

[0047] R represents H or CH3 and 1 is an integer of 1 to 10.

[0048] When generically naming the polycaprolactone-modified alkyl (meth)acrylate and the hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate as a (meth)acrylate monomer...

Abstract

In a cured product having a thickness of 60 μm obtained from an actinic energy ray-curable composition of the present invention, when a scratch mark is made at a vertical load of 235 mN using a diamond indenter with a tip diameter of 15 μm, the scratch mark is repaired by a self-repairing ability under an atmosphere at 25° C. and at a relative humidity of 50%. Therefore, the actinic energy ray-curable composition is useful as coating agents or paints for products where scratch resistance is required.
