[0022] <Painting method, laminate material> The coating method disclosed herein includes applying a primer paint onto a flammable material to form a primer layer, and applying an aqueous solution containing an alkali metal silicate onto the primer layer to form an alkali metal silicate layer, wherein the primer paint contains a silane coupling agent. Hereinafter, an aqueous solution containing an alkali metal silicate will be referred to as an "alkali metal silicate aqueous solution."

[0023] The laminate material of the present disclosure is a laminate material comprising a combustible material, a primer layer provided on the combustible material, and an alkali metal silicate layer provided on the primer layer, wherein the primer layer contains a reaction product of a silane coupling agent.

[0024] The coating method of the present disclosure produces the laminate material of the present disclosure. The coating method of the present disclosure is a coating method for forming an alkali metal silicate layer for the purpose of imparting fire retardancy to a flammable material. The laminate material of the present disclosure is a laminate material on which an alkali metal silicate layer is formed for the purpose of imparting fire retardancy to a flammable material.

[0025] The coating method of the present disclosure suppresses the degree of swelling of the alkali metal silicate layer that occurs when the laminate material is heated. The laminate material of the present disclosure does not experience excessive swelling of the alkali metal silicate layer when heated. The mechanism behind this is presumed to be as follows.

[0026] The coating method disclosed herein uses a primer coating containing a silane coupling agent to form a primer layer between a flammable material and an alkali metal silicate layer. The silane coupling agent chemically bonds the alkali metal silicate layer (inorganic material layer) to the underlayer (at least the primer layer, and in some cases the flammable material) (organic material layer). This is thought to enhance adhesion between the alkali metal silicate layer and the underlayer, preventing excessive swelling of the alkali metal silicate layer when the laminated material is heated.

[0027] The layer structure of the laminate material of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 4 are schematic cross-sectional views of examples of laminated materials. Figures 1 to 4 are schematic cross-sectional views mainly for explaining the order in which layers are stacked, and the structure of each layer is omitted or simplified. In Figures 1 to 4, layers having similar functions are denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0028] The laminated material 101 shown in FIG. 1 has a structure in which an undercoat layer 20, an alkali metal silicate layer 30, and an overcoat layer 40 are laminated in this order on a combustible material 10.

[0029] The laminated material 102 shown in Fig. 2 has a structure in which an undercoat layer 20, an alkali metal silicate layer 30, and a topcoat layer 40 are laminated in this order on a combustible material 10. The alkali metal silicate layer 30 has a fiber sheet 50 therein. The fiber sheet 50 is arranged flat in the plane direction of the alkali metal silicate layer 30. The fiber sheet 50 may be a woven fabric as shown in Fig. 2, or a nonwoven fabric.

[0030] 3 has a structure in which an undercoat layer 20, an alkali metal silicate layer 30, and a topcoat layer 40 are laminated in this order on a combustible material 10. The alkali metal silicate layer 30 has fibers 60 therein. The fibers 60 are arranged inside the alkali metal silicate layer 30 while entangled with each other.

[0031] 4 has a structure in which an undercoat layer 20, an alkali metal silicate layer 30, and a topcoat layer 40 are layered in this order on a combustible material 10. The alkali metal silicate layer 30 has fibers 70 therein. The fibers 70 are dispersed and arranged inside the alkali metal silicate layer 30.

[0032] In the laminated materials 101 to 104, the undercoat layer 20 contacts the combustible material 10, the alkali metal silicate layer 30 contacts the undercoat layer 20, and the topcoat layer 40 contacts the alkali metal silicate layer 30.

[0033] The laminated materials 101 to 104 may or may not have the topcoat layer 40. In the laminated materials 101 to 104, the topcoat layer 40 may be replaced with an overlay layer formed by laminating a resin film. From the viewpoint of protecting the alkali metal silicate layer 30, the laminated materials 101 to 104 preferably have the topcoat layer 40 or an overlay layer.

[0034] The primer layer 20 is formed by applying a primer paint on the combustible material 10. Specifically, the formation of the primer layer 20 includes applying a primer paint on the combustible material 10 and drying the applied primer paint. The primer paint is applied using, for example, a brush, a roller, a spray, or the like. The applied primer paint may be dried naturally. The application and drying of the primer paint may be repeated multiple times.

[0035] The alkali metal silicate layer 30 is formed by applying an alkali metal silicate aqueous solution onto the undercoat layer 20. Specifically, the formation of the alkali metal silicate layer 30 includes applying the alkali metal silicate aqueous solution onto the undercoat layer 20 and drying the applied alkali metal silicate aqueous solution. The alkali metal silicate aqueous solution is applied using, for example, a brush, a roller, a spray, or the like. The applied alkali metal silicate aqueous solution may be dried by natural drying. The application and drying of the alkali metal silicate aqueous solution may be repeated multiple times.

[0036] The fiber sheet 50, the fiber 60, or the fiber 70 is disposed inside the alkali metal silicate layer 30. The fiber is disposed, for example, by placing the fiber on the undercoat layer 20 and then coating the fiber with an aqueous alkali metal silicate solution. The fiber can also be disposed, for example, by placing the fiber on at least one alkali metal silicate layer 30 and then coating the fiber with an aqueous alkali metal silicate solution to form a further alkali metal silicate layer 30. The fiber 70 can also be disposed, for example, by coating the undercoat layer 20 with an aqueous alkali metal silicate solution containing the fiber 70.

[0037] The topcoat layer 40 is formed by applying a topcoat paint on the alkali metal silicate layer 30. Specifically, the formation of the topcoat layer 40 includes applying a topcoat paint on the alkali metal silicate layer 30 and drying the applied topcoat paint. The topcoat paint is applied using, for example, a brush, a roller, a spray, or the like. The applied topcoat paint may be dried naturally. The application and drying of the topcoat paint may be repeated multiple times.

[0038] The laminated materials 101 to 104 can be used, for example, for building structures (e.g., pillars, beams, floors, walls, roofs), building finishing materials (e.g., ceiling materials, interior wall materials, exterior materials, stairs, fittings), interior materials for vehicles (e.g., automobiles, railroad cars, ships, aircraft), furniture materials, etc.

[0039] The layers and coatings that make up the laminate material are described in more detail below.

[0041] Examples of wood materials include lumber products, logs, plywood, laminated lumber, LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber), CLT (Cross Laminated Timber), structural panels, OSB (Oriented Strand Board), particle board, and fiberboard.

[0042] When an alkali metal silicate solution is directly applied to a wood material, the surface of the wood material is likely to turn black (a phenomenon known as alkali burn). Wood materials require a primer layer to prevent alkali burn and to improve the adhesion of the alkali metal silicate layer.

[0043] Examples of materials for the resin molded product include polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyester, polyvinyl chloride, acrylic resin, fluororesin, polyamide, polycarbonate, polyurethane, natural rubber, ABS resin, chloroprene rubber, ethylene propylene rubber, and melamine resin.

Examples of the hydrolyzable group include an alkoxy group (e.g., a methoxy group, an ethoxy group), and an acetoxy group. The type of reactive functional group of the silane coupling agent may be selected depending on the type of resin that is the main component of the undercoat paint.

[0049] The primer layer contains a reaction product of a silane coupling agent, which is presumably reacted with a resin contained in the primer coating during preparation of the primer coating and with an alkali metal silicate during formation of the alkali metal silicate layer.

[0050] The content of the silane coupling agent in the undercoat paint is preferably 0.1% by mass to 10% by mass relative to the total mass of the undercoat paint. When the content of the silane coupling agent is 0.1% by mass or more, the adhesion between the alkali metal silicate layer and the underlayer (at least the primer layer, and in some cases even the combustible material) is further improved. From this viewpoint, the content of the silane coupling agent is more preferably 0.5% by mass or more, even more preferably 0.8% by mass or more, and still more preferably 1% by mass or more.

[0083] In the following description, synthesis, processing, manufacturing, testing, etc. were carried out at room temperature (25°C ± 3°C) unless otherwise specified.

[0084] <Examples 1 and 2> [Preparation of primer paint] A silane coupling agent was added to a Versatic acid vinyl ester copolymer acrylic emulsion (trade name: DSV.4176, VANORA) while stirring. Silane coupling agent A below was used as the silane coupling agent. The content of the silane coupling agent in the primer paint was 1% by mass or 2% by mass.

[0085] Silane coupling agent A: A water-based silane coupling agent containing alkylene glycol (product name: X-12-1098, Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.)

[0086] Example 1: The content of silane coupling agent A in the primer paint is 1% by mass Example 2: The content of silane coupling agent A in the primer paint is 2% by mass

[0087] [Preparation of alkali metal silicate aqueous solution] An aqueous solution of sodium silicate (water glass No. 3: n = 3.1 to 3.3, sodium silicate concentration 38.5 mass% to 40.0 mass%) and an aqueous solution of lithium silicate (trade name: Lithium Silicate 45, SiO2 / Li2O molar ratio 4.5, lithium silicate concentration 22 mass%) were mixed in a mass ratio of sodium silicate aqueous solution:lithium silicate aqueous solution = 2:1 to obtain an aqueous solution of alkali metal silicate.

[0088] [Preparation of topcoat paint] A topcoat paint was obtained by mixing 100 parts by mass of an aqueous acrylic polyol (trade name: Burnock WE-306, solvent: water, solid content 44% to 46% by mass, DIC Corporation) and 25 parts by mass of a polyisocyanate (trade name: Burnock DNW-5000, solvent: diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, solid content 79% to 81% by mass, DIC Corporation).

[0089] [Laminated material manufacturing] The primer was applied to the CLT using a brush, and then left to dry naturally for 24 hours to form a primer layer. The amount of primer applied was 130 g / m 2 It was decided. An aqueous solution of alkali metal silicate was applied onto the undercoat layer using a brush, and then allowed to stand for 24 hours to dry naturally, forming an alkali metal silicate layer. The amount of the aqueous solution of alkali metal silicate applied was 1000 g / m 2 It was decided. A topcoat was applied to the alkali metal silicate layer using a brush and left to stand for 24 hours to harden the acrylic urethane resin, forming a topcoat layer. The amount of topcoat applied was 135 g / m 2 It was decided.

[0090] [Adhesion evaluation] The laminated material obtained above was used as a test specimen, and the adhesion of the topcoat layer was evaluated in accordance with JIS K5600-5-6:1999 "General test methods for paints - Part 5: Mechanical properties of coatings - Section 6: Adhesion (cross-cut method)." Cross-cuts were made at 2 mm intervals, and the degree of peeling of the topcoat layer was classified as follows:

[0091] G0: The edges of the cut are completely smooth and there is no peeling on any of the grids. G1: Small peeling of the coating at the intersection of the cuts. G2: The coating is peeling along the edges of the cuts and / or at the intersections.

[0092] In both Examples 1 and 2, the degree of peeling of the topcoat layer was G0.

[0093] The following confirmation was also carried out for Examples 1 and 2. Visual inspection of the primer layer formed on the glass plate confirmed that the primer layer was not cloudy. Silane coupling agent A had good compatibility with the versatate vinyl ester copolymer acrylic emulsion, the main ingredient of the primer paint. Visual inspection of the primer layer formed on the CLT and the alkali metal silicate layer formed on top of that confirmed that there were no painting defects in either the primer layer or the alkali metal silicate layer.

[0094] <Example 3 and Comparative Example 1> [Preparing paint] In Example 3, the same primer paint, alkali metal silicate aqueous solution, and top coat paint were used as in Example 1. That is, the primer paint in Example 3 contains 1 mass % of silane coupling agent A. In Comparative Example 1, the same paint as in Example 3 was used, except that the undercoat paint did not contain a silane coupling agent.

[0095] [Laminated material manufacturing] The primer was applied to the top surface of a 10cm x 10cm x 36mm CLT board using a brush, and then left to dry naturally for 24 hours to form a primer layer. The amount of primer applied was 130g / m 2 It was decided. On top of the primer layer, a glass fiber sheet (product name: Surface Mat FC-30S, basis weight 30 g / m 2A 0.23 mm thick sheet of aluminum foil (Central Glass Fiber Co., Ltd.) was placed on the surface, and an aqueous solution of alkali metal silicate was applied thereon using a brush. The resulting solution was left to stand for 24 hours and allowed to dry naturally, forming an alkali metal silicate layer. The amount of the aqueous solution of alkali metal silicate applied was 1000 g / m. 2 It was decided. A topcoat was applied to the alkali metal silicate layer using a brush and left to stand for 24 hours to harden the acrylic urethane resin, forming a topcoat layer. The amount of topcoat applied was 135 g / m 2 It was decided.

[0096] [Pyrogenicity test] The laminated material obtained above was used as a test specimen and a heat generation test was carried out using a cone calorimeter in accordance with ISO5660-1:2002 and the "Fire Resistance Performance Testing and Evaluation Procedures" (General Building Research Corporation of Japan). The test continued for 20 minutes, and the total heat generation amount and heat generation rate were recorded at 5, 10, and 20 minutes after the start of the test. The thickness of the test specimen was measured before and after the test, and the difference was taken as the swelling of the test specimen. The fire resistance of the laminated material was classified as follows depending on whether it met the pass criteria shown in Table 1 at 5, 10 and 20 minutes. Table 2 shows the test results.

[0097] G1: Meets the passing criteria at 20 minutes. Equivalent to non-combustible material. G2: Meets the pass criteria at 10 minutes, but does not meet the pass criteria at 20 minutes. Equivalent to semi-noncombustible material. G3: Meets the pass criteria at 5 minutes, but does not meet the pass criteria at 10 minutes. Equivalent to flame-retardant material.

[0098] [Table 1]

[0099] [Table 2]

[0100] The fire resistance of Example 3 (an example in which the primer paint contained a silane coupling agent) was equal to or better than that of Comparative Example 1 (an example in which the primer paint did not contain a silane coupling agent).

[0101] The average swelling value was 7.81 mm in Comparative Example 1. In contrast, the average swelling value was 6.60 mm in Example 3. By including a silane coupling agent in the primer paint, the degree of swelling of the alkali metal silicate layer that occurs when the laminate material is heated can be suppressed.
