Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a surface material. The present invention also relates to a surface-material-attached substrate comprising a substrate and the surface material. [Background technology]

[0002] Thermoplastic resins are excellent in durability, light weight, moldability, etc. For this reason, thermoplastic resins are used in various fields such as construction, home appliances, and transportation.

[0003] For example, thermoplastic resins are used as exterior materials for buildings and transport vehicles such as railway cars, aircraft, ships, and automobiles. Examples of the exterior materials include flooring materials, wall materials, ceiling materials, exterior decorative materials, handrail materials, deck materials, gutters, window frames, and corrugated sheets.

[0004] Furthermore, in order to protect the surface of a substrate formed from a thermoplastic resin, a surface material may be disposed on the surface of the substrate. The surface material is required to have excellent weather resistance. A thermoplastic resin may be used as the material for the surface material.

[0005] Patent Document 1 listed below discloses a multilayer extrusion molded product including a substrate and a surface material (surface layer material) containing a colored resin with excellent weather resistance as a base resin. The surface of the surface material is sanded, and fine irregularities are formed on the surface of the surface material. The surface of the surface material is matte. The base resin of the surface material is a resin selected from the group consisting of polymethyl methacrylate resin, acrylonitrile / acrylic rubber / styrene copolymer resin, acrylonitrile / ethylene propylene rubber / styrene copolymer resin, and polymethyl methacrylate resin / styrene copolymer resin.

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-6716 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] In the surface material described in Patent Document 1, when a base resin containing a rubber component is used, the impact resistance of the surface material can be increased. On the other hand, when a base resin not containing a rubber component is used, the impact resistance of the surface material decreases.

[0008] Furthermore, conventional surface materials such as those described in Patent Document 1 may have voids on the surface. In particular, depending on the type of base resin contained in the surface material, there is a problem that voids are more likely to occur on the surface. When voids occur on the surface, the surface material may appear white.

[0009] An object of the present invention is to provide a surface material that can improve impact resistance and suppress the occurrence of voids on the surface. Another object of the present invention is to provide a substrate with a surface material that can improve impact resistance of the surface material and suppress the occurrence of voids on the surface of the surface material.

[0019] The surface material according to the present invention has a sea-island structure with a sea portion containing a glassy component and islands containing a rubber component. The contact angle of water with the surface of the surface material according to the present invention is 85.0° or more and 140.0° or less. Because the surface material according to the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, it is possible to improve impact resistance and suppress the occurrence of voids on the surface. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0020] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a substrate with a surface material according to a first embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a substrate with a surface material according to a second embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0021] The present invention will be described in detail below.

[0022] [Surface material] The surface material according to the present invention has a sea-island structure with a sea portion containing a glassy component and islands containing a rubber component, and the contact angle of water with the surface of the surface material according to the present invention is 85.0° or more and 140.0° or less.

[0023] Conventional surface materials have low impact resistance depending on the type of resin used.

[0024] In the surface material according to the present invention, a specific sea-island structure is formed, and the island portions contain a rubber component, so that the impact resistance of the surface material can be improved.

[0025] Furthermore, conventional surface materials can develop voids on their surfaces. When voids develop on the surface, the surface material can appear white (whitening can be seen). This whitening phenomenon occurs because light is scattered by minute voids in the surface material. The larger the total area of ​​the voids on the surface, the more likely the surface material will appear white.

[0026] The surface material according to the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and therefore can suppress the occurrence of voids on the surface. The surface material according to the present invention can effectively suppress the occurrence of voids on the surface after a weather resistance test. Since the present invention can suppress the occurrence of voids on the surface, it can suppress the occurrence of whitening (whitening phenomenon) in the surface material.

[0027] The surface material has a sea-island structure with a sea portion containing a glassy component and an island portion containing a rubber component. The following mechanism is thought to be the mechanism by which voids are generated. In a surface material with such a sea-island structure, repeated exposure to the moisture absorption expansion force and drying contraction force of the rubber component causes the glassy component surrounding the rubber component to collapse due to fatigue, resulting in the detachment of the rubber component and the surrounding glassy component. The generation of voids is a particular problem that is likely to occur in surface materials with a specific sea-island structure.

[0028] The surface material according to the present invention has a specific sea-island structure, and the contact angle of water with the surface of the surface material is within a specific range, which prevents the rubber component from being detached from the surrounding glassy component, thereby preventing the generation of voids on the surface.

[0029] To prevent void formation, the water contact angle with the surface of the surface material is 85.0° or more and 140.0° or less. If the water contact angle is below the lower limit, the rubber component is more likely to come into contact with water, accelerating the repetition of moisture absorption expansion and drying contraction of the rubber component, making voids more likely to form on the surface of the surface material and whitening the surface material. If the water contact angle exceeds the upper limit, water droplets remaining on the surface act as lenses, making the surface of the surface material more likely to become stained by sunlight, etc.

[0030] The water contact angle with the surface of the surface material is preferably 90.0° or more, more preferably 95.0° or more, even more preferably 96.5° or more, particularly preferably 97.0° or more, and preferably 135.0° or less, more preferably 130.0° or less, even more preferably 125.0° or less, even more preferably 120.0° or less, particularly preferably 115.0° or less, and most preferably 110.0° or less. When the water contact angle is equal to or greater than the lower limit, the generation of voids can be further suppressed. When the water contact angle is equal to or less than the upper limit, stains are even less likely to occur on the surface of the surface material.

[0031] The contact angle of water with the surface of the surface material is measured as follows.

[0032] The water contact angle is measured as a static contact angle at 23°C using a contact angle meter based on the sessile drop method using the θ / 2 method. The static contact angle obtained is defined as the water contact angle (23°C). Examples of the contact angle meter include the "DMs-401" manufactured by Kyowa Interface Science Co., Ltd.

[0033] The thickness of the surface material is preferably 100 μm or more and preferably 500 μm or less. When the thickness of the surface material is above the lower limit and below the upper limit, the surface material is easier to manufacture and the surface material's performance is more easily exhibited. Furthermore, when the thickness of the surface material is above the lower limit, the protective performance of the surface material can be further improved. When the thickness of the surface material is below the upper limit, the manufacturing cost of the surface material can be further reduced. When the thickness of the surface material varies depending on the surface material portion, the thickness of the surface material means the average thickness.

[0034] The surface material may be a foam. In this case, foam cells in the foam are not considered to be voids. A foaming agent may be used to obtain the foam. The foaming agent may be a physical foaming agent. The average diameter of the foam cells in the foam is preferably 30 μm or more and preferably 200 μm or less. The average diameter of the foam cells in the foam is determined by measuring the circle-equivalent diameter of each foam cell and averaging the measured values.

[0076] [Base material with surface material] The substrate with a surface material according to the present invention comprises a substrate and a surface material. In the substrate with a surface material according to the present invention, the surface material is disposed on the surface of the substrate. The substrate with a surface material is a laminate.

[0077] In the substrate with a surface material according to the present invention, the impact resistance of the surface material can be increased and the occurrence of voids on the surface of the surface material can be suppressed. Because the impact resistance of the surface material can be increased, the impact resistance of the substrate with a surface material can also be increased. Because the occurrence of voids on the surface of the surface material can be suppressed, the substrate with a surface material is less likely to appear white (whitening phenomenon is less visible).

[0079] The surface-material-attached substrate 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a substrate 2 and a surface material 3. The substrate 2 and the surface material 3 constitute the surface-material-attached substrate 1. The surface material 3 is disposed on a surface 2a of the substrate 2. The surface 2a of the substrate 2 is covered with the surface material 3. The contact angle of water with the surface 3a of the surface material 3 opposite to the substrate 2 side is 85.0° or more and 140.0° or less.

[0080] In the substrate 1 with a surface material, the substrate 2 is in the form of a plate. On one flat surface 2a of the substrate 2, a surface material 3 is disposed.

[0081] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a substrate with a surface material according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

[0082] The surface-material-attached substrate 11 shown in Figure 2 includes a substrate 12 and a surface material 13. The substrate 12 and the surface material 13 constitute the surface-material-attached substrate 11. The surface material 13 is disposed on a surface 12a of the substrate 12. The surface 12a of the substrate 12 is covered with the surface material 13. The contact angle of water with the surface 13a of the surface material 13 opposite to the substrate 12 side is 85.0° or more and 140.0° or less.

[0083] In the substrate 11 with a surface material, the substrate 12 is not plate-shaped. In this embodiment, the substrate 12 is shaped like a truncated cone. A surface material 13 is disposed on a surface 12a of the substrate 12, which includes the upper surface and side surfaces. The surface material 13 is also disposed on the corners of the surface 12a of the substrate 12.

[0084] The shape of the substrate is not particularly limited. The shape of the substrate may be plate-like or may be a shape other than plate-like. The substrate may have convex or concave portions on the surface. The substrate may have corners on the surface. The substrate may have curved portions on the surface. By using the specific surface material according to the present invention, even if the substrate has convex portions, concave portions, corners, or curved portions on the surface, the adhesion between the substrate and the surface material can be increased, and the generation of voids between the substrate and the surface material can be effectively suppressed.

[0085] In the substrate with a surface material, the surface material may be disposed on a portion of the surface of the substrate, or the surface material may be disposed on the entire surface of the substrate. The surface material can be disposed in a portion of the substrate where the performance derived from the surface material is to be imparted.

[0086] The material of the substrate preferably contains a thermoplastic resin. When the material of the surface material contains a thermoplastic resin, the thermoplastic resin that is the material of the substrate and the thermoplastic resin that is the material of the surface material may be the same or different.

[0087] Examples of thermoplastic resins that can be used as the substrate include vinyl chloride resins such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), acrylic resins such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polycarbonate (PC), polyamide (PA), acrylonitrile / styrene (AS) copolymers, and acrylonitrile / butadiene rubber / styrene (ABS) copolymers. The thermoplastic resins may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0088] From the viewpoint of further improving moldability and processability during the preparation of the substrate and the substrate with the surface material, the material of the substrate preferably contains a thermoplastic resin, more preferably a vinyl chloride resin, which can further improve mechanical strength, weather resistance, heat resistance, and chemical resistance.

[0089] The substrate with a surface material can be produced by compression molding, extrusion molding, injection molding, etc. The substrate with a surface material is preferably a multilayer molded article.

[0094] The following substrates were prepared:

[0095] Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) base material (thickness 2.0 mm)

[0096] Example 1 Surface preparation: A surface material was obtained by kneading 100 parts by mass of AES resin and 2 parts by mass of fatty acid amide for 3 minutes using a Labo Plastomill at 180°C and 50 rpm. The obtained surface material was hot-pressed at 160°C to obtain a plate-shaped (sheet-shaped) surface material (thickness 200 μm).

[0097] Preparation of substrate with surface material: The surface material (thickness 200 μm) was laminated with the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) substrate (thickness 2.0 mm) and hot pressed at 180°C to obtain a substrate with a surface material (multilayer laminate) in which the surface material and the substrate were bonded together.

[0098] (Examples 2 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2) Surface preparation: Surface materials were obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the types and contents of the materials in the surface material were changed as shown in Tables 1 and 2 below.

[0099] Preparation of substrate with surface material: A substrate with a surface material was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the obtained surface material was used.

[0100] Example 9 Preparation of surface materials: 100 parts by mass of ASA resin and 2 parts by mass of fatty acid amide were placed in an extruder and melt-kneaded at 180° C. for 5 minutes to obtain a surface material.

[0101] Preparation of substrate with surface material: Using an extruder, the obtained surface material was co-extruded with the above polyvinyl chloride (PVC) substrate (thickness 2.0 mm) at 180°C to obtain a substrate with a surface material (multilayer laminate) in which the surface material (thickness 200 μm) and the above substrate were bonded together.

[0102] (Examples 10 and 11 and Comparative Example 3) Preparation of surface materials: Surface material was obtained in the same manner as in Example 9, except that the type and content of the surface material was changed as shown in Table 3 below.

[0103] Preparation of substrate with surface material: A substrate with a surface material was obtained in the same manner as in Example 9, except that the obtained surface material was used.

[0104] (evaluation) (1) Contact angle of water on the surface of the surface material The static contact angle of water on the surface of the surface material opposite the substrate side was measured for the resulting substrate with the surface material by the θ / 2 method at 23°C using a contact angle meter ("DMs-401" manufactured by Kyowa Interface Science Co., Ltd.) based on the sessile drop method. The static contact angle obtained was taken as the contact angle of water on the surface of the surface material (23°C).

[0105] (2) Area ratio of voids in the surface material The substrates with surface materials obtained in Examples 1 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were subjected to the following weather resistance test 1. The substrates with surface materials obtained in Examples 9 to 11 and Comparative Example 3 were subjected to the following weather resistance test 2.

[0106] Weather resistance test 1: The substrate with the surface material was placed flat with the surface material facing up. Using a metal weather tester (manufactured by Daipla Co., Ltd.), the illuminance was 560 W / m 2 The weather resistance test was conducted for 216 hours (total irradiation time: 72 hours, total non-irradiation time: 144 hours) under the following conditions: panel temperature 50°C, repeated irradiation (1 hour) and non-irradiation (2 hours), humidity 30% during irradiation, humidity 90% during non-irradiation, and precipitation.

[0107] Weather resistance test 2: The substrate with the surface material was placed flat with the surface material side facing up and left to stand outdoors (Saijo City, Ehime Prefecture) for 7 months (April 6, 2024 to November 6, 2024) to conduct a weather resistance test.

[0108] After weather resistance tests 1 and 2, the surface of the substrate with the surface material was randomly selected and observed at 10,000x magnification using an electron microscope (Hitachi's "SU3500") to obtain images. Using the obtained images, image analysis software (Mitani Shoji's "WinROOF") was used to binarize the void area from other areas using a threshold value that allows the outline of the voids to be distinguished, and the area ratio of the void area in the surface material was calculated.
