Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a coating composition, and more particularly to a coating composition suitable for forming an undercoat layer for metal deposition that has excellent adhesion to various substrates and excellent appearance when irradiated with active energy rays. [Background technology]
[0002] Resins have advantages such as productivity, moldability, and light weight. Molded resin products are used as substrates, and an undercoat layer (primer layer) is formed on the surface. Metallization treatments such as ionization deposition and sputtering are then applied to the undercoat layer. These products are widely used as automobile parts, decorative items, and components for home appliances.
[0003] In recent years, substrates used in automotive parts include resin substrates such as ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), PC (polycarbonate), high-heat PC, and acrylic, as well as difficult-to-adhere resin substrates such as BMC (bulk molding compound; a molding material consisting of a mixture of unsaturated polyester resin, fillers, and fibrous materials), PPS (polyphenylene sulfide), ALD (aluminum die-cast), and PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) / PET (polyethylene terephthalate) alloy. These difficult-to-adhere resin substrates are lightweight and have excellent impact resistance and heat resistance. Forming an undercoat layer on these substrates and then subjecting them to a metallized treatment makes them suitable for use as reflectors for automotive lamps, for example.
[0004] Automotive lamp reflectors often use a combination of multiple resin substrates. For example, a substrate with excellent heat resistance is used in areas closer to the lamp light source, while a substrate with excellent processability is used in areas farther from the lamp light source so that complex shapes can be accommodated. Compositions for forming undercoats on resin substrates such as ABS and PC have problems, such as poor adhesion when applied to poorly adherent resin substrates such as BMC and PPS, and difficulty in forming metallic coatings through metallization. Furthermore, the high heat resistance of BMC and PPS can lead to the problem of rainbows appearing in the coating during heat resistance tests after metallization. Therefore, when forming an undercoat layer, it is necessary to switch to a composition suitable for the type of substrate.
[0005] For example, Patent Document 1 proposes an undercoat composition for metal vapor deposition that contains a homopolymer or copolymer of a specific amide group-containing (meth)acrylamide monomer as an undercoat composition for metal vapor deposition that can be applied to poorly adherent resin substrates.

[Example]
[0072] The present invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to Production Examples and Examples.
[0073] [Production Example 1] Production of Copolymer A-1 The materials shown in the Component 1 column of Table 1 were placed in a 2 L four-neck flask and heated to a liquid temperature of 110°C. The liquid in the flask was then stirred while maintaining the internal temperature at 110°C. A monomer-containing mixture consisting of the materials shown in the Component 2 column of Table 1 was added dropwise to the flask at a constant rate over 4 hours, followed by the material shown in the Component 3 column of Table 1. Subsequently, 1 g of azobisisobutylnitrile was added to the flask every hour for a total of four times (4 g in total), and the mixture was stirred for another 2 hours to obtain Copolymer A-1. The mass average molecular weight of Copolymer A-1 measured by GPC in terms of polystyrene was 2.5 x 10 4 The hydroxyl value was 108 mg KOH / g.
[0074] [Table 1]
[0075] [Production Example 2] Production of Copolymer A-2 A polymer having a mass average molecular weight of 4.3 × 10 was prepared in the same manner as in Production Example 1, except that 3.8 g of Perbutyl O (registered trademark, manufactured by NOF Corp.) was used as the polymerization initiator for component 2 and 10 g of Perbutyl O was used as the polymerization initiator for component 4. 4 Thus, a copolymer A-2 having a hydroxyl value of 108 mgKOH / g was obtained.

[0077] [Production Example 4] Production of Copolymer A-4 A polymer having a mass average molecular weight of 2.3 × 10 was prepared in the same manner as in Production Example 1, except that 62.5 g of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (12.5 mass% of all monomers) and 62.5 g of methyl methacrylate (12.5 mass% of all monomers) were used instead of 125 g of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (25 mass% of all monomers) as the monomer used as component 2. 4 Thus, a copolymer A-4 having a hydroxyl value of 53 mgKOH / g was obtained.
[0078] [Production Example 5] Production of Copolymer A-5 A polymer having a mass average molecular weight of 6.2 × 10 was prepared in the same manner as in Production Example 1, except that 1.4 g of azobisisobutylnitrile and 2.4 g of Perbutyl Z (registered trademark, manufactured by NOF Corp.) were used as the polymerization initiator for component 2, and the liquid temperature was set to 100°C. 4 Thus, a copolymer A-5 having a hydroxyl value of 108 mgKOH / g was obtained.
[0079] [Production Example 6] Production of copolymer PA-1 A polymer having a mass average molecular weight of 2.0 × 10 was prepared in the same manner as in Production Example 1, except that the monomers used for component 2 were 75 g of styrene (15% by mass of all monomers) and 250 g of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (50% by mass of all monomers). 4 Thus, copolymer PA-1 having a hydroxyl value of 215 mgKOH / g was obtained.
[0080] [Production Example 7] Production of copolymer PA-2 A polymer having a mass average molecular weight of 2.0 × 10 was prepared in the same manner as in Production Example 1, except that 125 g of methyl methacrylate (25% by mass of all monomers) was used instead of 125 g of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (25% by mass of all monomers). 4 Thus, copolymer PA-2 having a hydroxyl value of 0 mgKOH / g was obtained.
[0081] [Example 1] 1. Preparation of Coating Composition A coating material composition was obtained by mixing and dissolving 100 parts by mass of copolymer A-1 synthesized in Production Example 1 as component A1 (50 parts by mass in terms of solid content), 25 parts by mass of DPHA: dipentaerythritol hexaacrylate (manufactured by Nippon Kayaku Co., Ltd., product name KAYARAD DPHA) and 25 parts by mass of M-8030: polyester acrylate (manufactured by Toagosei Co., Ltd., product name ARONIX M-8030) as component B, 1 part by mass of KBM-403: 3-glycidoxypropylmethyldimethoxysilane (manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd., product name KBM-403) as component C, 5 parts by mass of benzophenone and 1.5 parts by mass of 2-ethylanthraquinone as component D, and 5 parts by mass of toluene, 70 parts by mass of 1-methoxypropanol, 30 parts by mass of butyl acetate, and 15 parts by mass of ethyl acetate as organic solvents.
[0082] 2. Preparation of laminate for evaluation The coating material composition prepared in 1 above was spray-coated onto the surface of a rectangular, flat BMC test piece, measuring 9 cm in length, 5 cm in width, and 3 mm in thickness, so that the thickness of the cured coating film was approximately 20 μm.
[0083] The organic solvent was then evaporated by heating in an oven at 60°C for 3 minutes. After that, a high-pressure mercury lamp was used to irradiate the coated surface in air with an integrated light intensity of 2000 mJ / cm. 2The coating film was cured by irradiating it with ultraviolet light. The light intensity was measured using an actinometer (manufactured by Oak Manufacturing, product name: UV-351 (SN type)) to measure the integrated energy of ultraviolet light with wavelengths of 340 nm to 380 nm. Subsequently, aluminum was vacuum-deposited onto the cured film (undercoat layer) using a vacuum deposition apparatus (manufactured by ULVAC, product name: EBA-800) to a film thickness of approximately 20 nm, forming an aluminum vapor-deposited film. Furthermore, to prevent corrosion of the aluminum vapor-deposited film, an acrylic melamine curing clear paint (manufactured by Mitsubishi Rayon, product name: Diabeam UT-047A) was spray-coated onto the aluminum vapor-deposited film to a film thickness of 5 μm after curing. This was followed by heat treatment at 120°C for 10 minutes to cure the film, forming a topcoat layer. In this way, a laminate for evaluation was prepared, with three coating layers formed on the surface of the substrate.
[0084] In the same manner, five types of laminates for evaluation were prepared using test pieces made of PPS, PBT / PET alloy, PC, and high-heat PC.
[0085] 3. Evaluation Method 3-1. Appearance of the coating To evaluate the appearance of the undercoat layer, the appearance of the metal vapor deposition film of each evaluation laminate was visually evaluated. The visual evaluation was judged according to the following criteria. E (EXCELLENT): The surface of the metal vapor deposition film is smooth and free of citrus peel. G (GOOD): The surface of the metal vapor deposition film has a slight yuzu peel appearance and is not smooth. B (BAD): The metal vapor deposition film has an orange peel appearance, is not smooth, and exhibits whitening, clouding, and blemishes.
[0086] 3-2. Coating adhesion A cross-shaped cut was made in the metal vapor deposition film and undercoat layer formed on the surface of the evaluation laminate using a cutter knife, reaching the substrate. Next, a cellophane tape (registered trademark, manufactured by Nichiban Co., Ltd.) was applied to the surface and then rapidly peeled off (peel test), which was repeated up to three times to observe delamination between the undercoat layer and the substrate, and the results were evaluated according to the following criteria. No delamination between the undercoat layer and the metal vapor deposition film was observed. E (EXCELLENT): No peeling occurs on the third peeling test. G (GOOD): No peeling occurred in the third peeling test, but the cross-shaped notch groove was slightly chipped. P (POOR): Peeling occurs after 2 or 3 peeling tests. B (BAD): Peeled off in the first peel test.
[0087] 3-3. Performance before and after heat resistance test For each evaluation laminate on which a coating film was formed, the appearance of the coating film and adhesion to the substrate were evaluated (initial). In addition, each evaluation laminate on which a coating film was formed was left for 24 hours in the atmosphere shown in Table 3, then removed and heat-treated, and the appearance of the coating film and adhesion to the substrate were evaluated (after heat resistance test). The evaluation results were judged according to the following criteria. -Appearance of the coating E (EXCELLENT): No whitening, clouding, bleeds, or swelling across the entire coating. G (GOOD): There is whitening, clouding, fading, or swelling in some areas of the paint film. B (BAD): Whitening, clouding, fading, or swelling is observed over the entire coating. - Coating adhesion E (EXCELLENT): No peeling occurs on the third peeling test. G (GOOD): No peeling occurred in the third peeling test, but the cross-shaped notch groove was slightly chipped. P (POOR): Peeling occurs after 2 or 3 peeling tests. B (BAD): Peeled off in the first peel test.

[0097] The above examples demonstrate that the active energy ray-curable coating material composition of the present invention can provide an undercoat layer for metal vapor deposition that exhibits excellent adhesion to various substrates, adhesion to metal vapor deposition films, appearance, and heat resistance. In Comparative Example 1, Component C was not used, resulting in insufficient adhesion of the coating film to BMC. In Comparative Example 2, a large amount of Component C was used, resulting in insufficient adhesion of the coating film to PPS after a heat resistance test. In Comparative Example 3, a large amount of Component A was used, resulting in insufficient initial appearance of the coating film and appearance after a heat resistance test. In Comparative Example 4, a small amount of Component A was used, resulting in insufficient adhesion of the coating film. In Comparative Example 5, Component A was not used, resulting in insufficient appearance of the coating film. In Comparative Example 6, Component A was not used, resulting in insufficient appearance of the coating film to PPS and PBT / PET alloy. In Comparative Example 7, Component C was not used, resulting in insufficient adhesion of the coating film to PPS substrates and PBT / PET substrates. In Comparative Example 8, a large amount of Component A was used, resulting in insufficient initial appearance of the coating film and appearance after a heat resistance test. In Comparative Example 9, the amount of component A used was small, and therefore the adhesion of the coating film to the BMC substrate was insufficient.
