[0026] The dimer acid modified epoxy resin obtained by adding dimer acid to epoxy resin is suitable as the epoxy resin of the undercoat material of the present invention.The ratio (solid content equivalent) of dimer acid modified epoxy resin in the epoxy resin of the undercoat material of the present invention is preferably 50% by weight or more, more preferably 70-100% by weight, from the viewpoint of conformability to the base, adhesion, etc.

[0031] In the present invention, for such epoxy resin and amine curing agent, each material can be set and used so that the active hydrogen equivalent of the amine curing agent and the epoxy equivalent of the epoxy resin are preferably less than 0.4, more preferably 0.01 to 0.3, even more preferably 0.03 to 0.25, and particularly preferably 0.05 to 0.2, in terms of [active hydrogen equivalent of amine curing agent / epoxy equivalent of epoxy resin]. By using a combination of materials that satisfy such conditions as the epoxy resin and the amine curing agent, more preferable effects can be obtained in terms of adhesion, etc.

[0032] The compounding ratio of the epoxy resin and the amine curing agent is 1.0 or less, preferably 0.3 to 1.0, more preferably 0.5 to 0.98, even more preferably 0.6 to 0.95, and particularly preferably 0.7 to 0.9. The compounding amount and active hydrogen equivalent of the amine curing agent, and the compounding amount and epoxy equivalent of the epoxy resin are all based on the solid content. By the compounding ratio of the epoxy resin and the amine curing agent being equal to or less than the upper limit, it is suitable in terms of adhesion, base followability, suitability for finishing coating materials, etc., and by being equal to or more than the lower limit, it is suitable in terms of curing properties, adhesion, etc. In the present invention, by using the epoxy resin and the amine curing agent at such a compounding ratio, it is possible to suppress the decrease in adhesion due to conditions (e.g., time, temperature, etc.) until the finishing coating material is applied after the undercoat material is applied, and it is possible to improve the suitability for finishing coating materials.

[0033] In the present invention, the pigment is a component that contributes to adhesion etc. As the pigment, for example, a coloring pigment, an extender pigment, an anti-rust pigment, etc. can be used.

By having the pigment volume concentration within the above range, it is possible to form a coating film with excellent adhesion while taking advantage of the shape of the base. For example, when the base has an uneven pattern, the undercoat material can be evenly applied along the unevenness, and it is possible to form a coating film with excellent finish and adhesion while taking advantage of the uneven pattern. In addition, when the base is flat, a uniform coating film with smoothness can be formed, and excellent performance can be exhibited in adhesion and the like. If the pigment volume concentration does not satisfy the above value, it is difficult to obtain the above-mentioned effect. In addition, in the present invention, by having the pigment volume concentration within the above range, it is also possible to enhance the finish coating material suitability, and even if the conditions change after the undercoat material is applied and before the finish coating material is applied, sufficient adhesion and the like can be ensured.

[0038] The pigment volume concentration is the volume percentage of the pigment contained in the dry coating film, and is a value calculated from the weight parts and specific gravity of the resin components (epoxy resin and amine hardener) that make up the primer and the pigment.

These can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0040] The undercoat material of the present invention contains a non-aqueous solvent with an aniline point of 12 to 70°C as a non-aqueous solvent. Such a non-aqueous solvent contributes to improving adhesion by penetrating the substrate, slightly swelling or dissolving the existing coating film, etc. As a non-aqueous solvent with an aniline point of 12 to 70°C, for example, one or more selected from aliphatic hydrocarbon-containing mixed solvents such as mineral spirits, petroleum ether, petroleum naphtha, solvent naphtha, kerosene, and the like are suitable. The aniline point is a value measured by the method of JIS K2256.

[0041] The undercoat material of the present invention may contain a silane compound in addition to the above components. In the present invention, the incorporation of a silane compound can further improve adhesion and the like.

[0043] In the present invention, it is particularly preferable to use one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of silane compounds containing an epoxy group and silane compounds containing an amino group.

[0044] The mixing ratio of the silane compound is preferably 3% by weight or less, more preferably 0.1 to 2.8 parts by weight, and even more preferably 0.2 to 2.5 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the solid content of the resin components (epoxy resin and amine curing agent). By using the silane compound in such a range, the adhesion can be further improved, and excellent adhesion can be exhibited not only when the epoxy resin and the amine curing agent are applied immediately after mixing, but also when the epoxy resin and the amine curing agent are applied after mixing and time has passed. The use of the silane compound is also suitable in terms of improving the adhesion to existing coating films such as inorganic coating films, organic-inorganic composite coating films, and fluororesin coating films.

[0045] In the primer material of the present invention, in addition to the above-mentioned components, for example, plasticizers, preservatives, antifungal agents, anti-algae agents, defoamers, leveling agents, pigment dispersants, surfactants, thickeners, anti-settling agents, anti-sagging agents, matting agents, catalysts, curing accelerators, ultraviolet absorbers, light stabilizers, antioxidants, etc. can be mixed as necessary within a range that does not significantly impair the effects of the present invention.

[0046] The undercoat material of the present invention can be manufactured by uniformly stirring and mixing the above-mentioned components by a conventional method. It is desirable that the undercoat material be in the form of a two-liquid type consisting of a base agent containing an epoxy resin and a hardener containing an amine hardener during distribution, and that these are mixed and used when painting.

[0047] The undercoat material of the present invention exhibits bending resistance with a mandrel diameter of 5 mm or less (preferably 4 mm or less, more preferably 3 mm or less) in a bending resistance test using a cylindrical mandrel method. Due to such characteristics, the suitability of adhesion, conformability, etc. to a wide range of substrates is improved, and for example, sufficient performance can be exhibited even for substrates including sealing joints.

[0048] The cylindrical mandrel method is measured according to the method specified in JIS K5600-5-1:1999 "General test methods for paints - Part 5: Mechanical properties of coatings - Section 1: Bending resistance (cylindrical mandrel method)". The test plate is a polished steel plate (SPCC-SB) with a thickness of 0.3 mm, brushed with a primer so that the dry film thickness is 35 μm, and dried for 7 days under standard conditions (air temperature 23°C, relative humidity 50%). The test is performed under standard conditions using a type 1 test device, and the coating film is visually inspected for cracks and peeling from the substrate. "Showing bending resistance with a mandrel diameter of a mm" means that when the test is performed using a mandrel with a diameter of a mm or more, no cracks or peeling from the substrate are observed.

[0049] The flex resistance can be set by, for example, the type and epoxy equivalent of the epoxy resin used, the type and active hydrogen equivalent of the amine curing agent, the compounding ratio of the epoxy resin to the amine curing agent, the pigment volume concentration, and the like.

[0050] The non-volatile content of the undercoat material of the present invention is preferably 30 to 90% by weight, more preferably 40 to 80% by weight, and even more preferably 45 to 75% by weight. By having the non-volatile content of the undercoat material within such a range, it becomes easier to apply the undercoat material evenly and uniformly to the base, which is preferable in terms of improving adhesion. In particular, when the base has an uneven pattern, the undercoat material can be applied evenly along the unevenness, and it is possible to form a coating film with excellent finish and adhesion while making use of the uneven pattern. The non-volatile content is a value measured by the method of JIS K5601-1-2, the heating temperature is 105 ° C, and the heating time is 60 minutes.

The ratio of the pigment in the non-volatile content of the undercoat material is preferably 15 to 80% by weight, more preferably 20 to 60% by weight, and even more preferably 25 to 40% by weight. By making the ratio of the resin solid content and the pigment in the non-volatile content within the above range, it is possible to enhance the effect of forming a coating film excellent in adhesion, finish coating material suitability, etc. while taking advantage of the shape of the base.

[0052] In the coating of the undercoat material of the present invention, various methods such as brush coating, roller coating, spray coating, etc. can be used. In addition, when coating in a factory, coating can also be performed using a roll coater, flow coater, etc. in addition to the above.

[0053] The amount of the undercoat applied is preferably 0.03 to 0.5 kg / m 2 (More preferably 0.05 to 0.3 kg / m 2 ) The number of coats of the undercoat material may be appropriately set depending on the condition of the base, but is preferably 1 to 2 coats.

The undercoat material of the present invention is preferably a room temperature curing type. The drying time after application of the undercoat material is preferably 1 hour or more, more preferably 2 hours or more and within 14 days.

[0054] [Finishing coating materials] In the present invention, a topcoat material is applied on the coating surface of the undercoat material. By applying the topcoat material, a decorative finish with aesthetic appearance can be obtained. One or more topcoat materials can be used.

[0055] The coating film formed by the above undercoat material can exhibit excellent adhesion to a wide variety of finishing coating materials. The finishing coating material is not particularly limited as long as it is generally used for painting buildings, etc., and the binder thereof can be, for example, organic binder such as acrylic resin, polyurethane resin, epoxy resin, fluororesin, alkyd resin, polyester resin, etc., or inorganic binder such as silicon resin, alkoxysilane, colloidal silica, silicate, etc., organic-inorganic composite binder such as acrylic silicon resin, etc.

[0056] In addition to the binders mentioned above, the components of the finishing coating material include, for example, coloring pigments, extender pigments, thickeners, film-forming aids, leveling agents, wetting agents, plasticizers, antifreeze agents, pH adjusters, preservatives, antifungal agents, anti-algae agents, antibacterial agents, dispersants, defoamers, adsorbents, coupling agents, fibers, crosslinking agents, UV absorbers, light stabilizers, antioxidants, catalysts, solvents, water, etc.
