Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a surface treatment agent composition, and more particularly to a non-fluorinated surface treatment agent composition capable of forming a cured coating film that has a high biobased content and excellent water repellency and abrasion resistance, a pellet containing the surface treatment agent composition, and an article that has been surface-treated with the surface treatment agent composition. [Background technology]

[0002] Touch panel displays, such as those used in smartphones and in-vehicle displays, and lenses for eyeglasses, are often in direct contact with fingers or cheeks, creating the problem of easy staining with sebum and other contaminants. To improve appearance and visibility, there is an increasing demand for technologies that make the display surface less susceptible to fingerprints and easier to clean. The development of materials that can meet these demands is highly desirable. A common solution is to provide an anti-fouling layer.

[0003] In general, surface treatment agent compositions containing fluoropolyether group-containing compounds have very low surface free energy and can therefore impart water and oil repellency, chemical resistance, lubricity, release properties, stain resistance, and other properties to articles. Taking advantage of these properties, they are widely used industrially as water, oil, and stain repellents for paper and textiles, lubricants for magnetic recording media, oil repellents for precision instruments, release agents, cosmetics, protective films, and more. However, these properties also mean that they are non-sticky and non-adhesive to other substrates, and even if they can be applied to the surface of a substrate, it has been difficult to achieve adhesion of the coating.

[0004] Silane coupling agents are well known for bonding organic compounds to the surfaces of substrates such as glass and cloth, and are widely used as coating agents for various substrate surfaces. Silane coupling agents contain an organic functional group and a reactive silyl group (generally a hydrolyzable silyl group such as an alkoxysilyl group) in each molecule. The hydrolyzable silyl group undergoes a self-condensation reaction in the presence of moisture in the air to form a hardened coating. This coating is durable and strong because the hydrolyzable silyl group chemically and physically bonds with the surface of glass, metal, etc.

[0005] Therefore, compositions have been disclosed that use fluoropolyether group-containing polymers in which hydrolyzable silyl groups have been introduced into fluoropolyether group-containing compounds, which can form coatings that easily adhere to substrate surfaces and have water and oil repellency, chemical resistance, lubricity, releasability, antifouling properties, etc. on the substrate surfaces (Patent Documents 1 to 6: JP-A Nos. 2008-534696, 2008-537557, JP-A Nos. 2012-072272, 2012-157856, 2013-136833, and 2015-199906).

[0006] Furthermore, fluorine-containing compounds, such as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), tend to be highly persistent and accumulate in nature. In recent years, a wide range of fluorine-containing compounds have been categorized as per- or polyfluoroalkyl compounds (PFAS), and PFAS regulations are expected to restrict the use, sale, and discharge of fluorine-containing compounds. Conventional fluoropolyether group-containing compounds and fluoropolyether group-containing polymers also fall under the category of per- or polyfluoroalkyl compounds (PFAS). Therefore, there is a demand for the development of non-fluorine-based surface treatment compositions made from materials that do not contain fluorine atoms.

[0007] Furthermore, as part of efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), there is a growing need for bio-based materials that are not only fluorine-free but also made from biological raw materials rather than fossil fuel-derived materials.

[0008] However, the inventors have found through their investigations that conventional surface treatment agent compositions containing non-fluorinated compounds containing reactive silyl groups such as hydrolyzable silyl groups have a low biobased content, and furthermore, the water repellency and abrasion resistance of the cured coatings formed are sometimes insufficient.

[0013] The surface treatment composition of the present invention can form a cured coating film having excellent water repellency and abrasion resistance, and therefore an article having a surface treatment layer formed using the surface treatment composition has excellent water repellency and abrasion resistance. Furthermore, the surface treatment composition of the present invention has a low environmental impact because it contains a silane compound having a high biobased content. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] The surface treatment agent composition of the present invention contains, as essential components, an organosilane compound (α) of a specific structure having a biobased degree of at least a specific level and / or a partial reaction condensate thereof, and a specific solvent, and is made of a material that does not contain fluorine atoms.

[0015] The first essential component of the surface treatment agent composition of the present invention is an organosilane compound (α) and / or a partially reacted condensate thereof. The organosilane compound (α) is a non-fluorine-containing compound having at least one linear, branched, or cyclic monovalent hydrocarbon group having 3 to 60 carbon atoms, which may contain at least one atom selected from oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen, and silicon, and a reactive silyl group, and further has a biobased content of 50% or more as measured by radiocarbon dating in accordance with ASTM D6866. The organosilane compound (α) may be a mixture of one or more of these compounds.

[0016] The organosilane compound (α) has a linear, branched, or cyclic monovalent hydrocarbon group having 3 to 60 carbon atoms that exhibits water repellency and a reactive silyl group that exhibits reactivity with a substrate, and therefore a cured coating film formed on the surface of a substrate using the surface treatment agent composition exhibits excellent water repellency and abrasion resistance.

[0017] The organosilane compound (α) has a biobased content of 50% or more as measured by radiocarbon dating in accordance with ASTM D 6866. When the biobased content is in the above range or higher, the organosilane compound (α) is superior in that it imposes a smaller burden on the environment than surface treatment agent compositions produced using raw materials derived from fossil fuels. The biobased content of the organosilane compound (α) is more preferably 60% or more, and particularly preferably 70% or more. When the biobased content is in the above range or more, the burden on the environment is further reduced.

[0018] Bio-based content is a value that expresses the proportion of biologically derived carbon in the total carbon in a material. 14 Amount reflecting C concentration 14 On the other hand, materials derived from fossil fuels contain carbon dioxide over a long period of time. 14 C has completely decayed, 14 The concentration of C is zero. Therefore, 14 The biobased content can be calculated by measuring the C concentration (radiocarbon dating method).

[0019] In this specification, the bio-based content was measured under the following conditions. Measurement: Compliant with ASTM D6866 Analysis: Compliant with ASTM D6866-22 (METHOD B) Measurement method: The sample was sealed in a tin cup, gasified with CO2 using an elemental analyzer (elementar vario MICRO CUBE), purified in a glass gas purification line (Koshin Chemical Manufacturing Co., Ltd.), and graphite was produced by hydrogen reduction in a graphite reduction ring furnace (Koshin Chemical Manufacturing Co., Ltd.). After preparation, the sample was analyzed using an accelerator mass spectrometer (NEC 1.5SDH). 14 The C concentration was measured. 14 After correcting for isotope fractionation effects on C concentrations, the biobased content was calculated.

[0020] In the present invention, in order to achieve a biobased content of the organosilane compound (α) within the above range, it is desirable to use, as much as possible, biologically derived raw materials as the raw materials for the organosilane compound (α), rather than raw materials derived from fossil fuels. In particular, it is desirable to use biologically derived raw materials as raw materials that can be incorporated into the skeleton of the organosilane compound (α) (excluding components such as reaction solvents that may be separated during the production process). The biologically derived raw materials can be used as pure products by purifying compounds extracted from plants or animals, or as mixtures of compounds without purification.

[0021] In the organosilane compound (α), the monovalent hydrocarbon group is preferably linear or branched, as this provides high molecular mobility and the resulting cured coating exhibits superior slip properties.

[0022] The organosilane compound (α) has at least one, preferably two or more, and more preferably two or three, monovalent hydrocarbon groups.

[0023] When the organosilane compound (α) has two or more monovalent hydrocarbon groups, these monovalent hydrocarbon groups are preferably bonded to the same atom. When two or more monovalent hydrocarbon groups are bonded to the same atom, the organosilane compound (α) has high packing properties, and the cured coating formed by the surface treatment agent composition containing the organosilane compound (α) forms a harder film. As a result, the resulting cured coating exhibits superior water repellency and abrasion resistance. In the present invention, "packing properties" refers to the ease with which multiple hydrocarbon chains are oriented densely in one direction on the surface of the cured coating. Here, the same atom to which two or more of the above monovalent hydrocarbon groups are bonded is preferably a carbon atom, a nitrogen atom, or a silicon atom.

[0024] In the organosilane compound (α), the monovalent hydrocarbon group has a carbon number of 3 to 60, preferably a carbon number of 3 to 40, more preferably a carbon number of 8 to 40, and even more preferably a carbon number of 10 to 40. When the carbon number is 3 to 60, the compound can maintain high solubility in solvents, and a cured coating film made from the surface treatment agent composition can have high water repellency. When two or more of the monovalent hydrocarbon groups are bonded to the same atom, it is preferable that all of the monovalent hydrocarbon groups have the same number of carbon atoms, and in particular that the monovalent hydrocarbon groups are the same, as this further improves packing properties.

The amount of the solvent used is 0 to 1,000 parts by mass, preferably 50 to 200 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the hydrocarbon terminal group-containing compound having a terminal hydroxyl group.

[0114] In Preparation Method 5, the amount of the compound having an isocyanate group and a reactive silyl group used is preferably 1 to 3 moles, particularly 1 to 1.5 moles, per mole of the hydrocarbon terminal group-containing compound having an NH group at the terminal.

[0115] A solvent can be used when carrying out the reaction in Preparation Method 5. Examples of the solvent include the same solvents as those in Preparation Method 1 above. The amount of the solvent used is 0 to 1,000 parts by mass, preferably 50 to 200 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the hydrocarbon terminal group-containing compound having an NH group at the end.

[0116] In Preparation Method 5, the reaction conditions are preferably a temperature of 0 to 100°C, particularly 20 to 60°C, and a time of 0.5 to 72 hours, particularly 1 to 36 hours.

[0117] The compound represented by general formula (1) obtained by the above reaction is preferably subjected to purification and isolation procedures such as concentration, column purification, distillation, extraction, etc. When the reaction solution satisfies the conditions of the solvent, which is the second essential component described below, the reaction solution can be used as it is as a mixture containing the compound represented by general formula (1).

[0118] Furthermore, the surface treatment agent composition of the present invention may contain a partial reaction condensate obtained by partial reaction condensation of the reactive silyl groups of the organosilane compound (α) (for example, a partial (hydrolysis) condensate obtained by condensing the hydroxyl groups of the compound represented by the above formula (1) or the hydroxyl groups obtained by partially hydrolyzing the hydrolyzable groups of the compound represented by the above formula (1) in advance by a known method). In the present invention, the term "partial (hydrolyzed) condensate" refers to a partial condensate or a partial hydrolyzed condensate.

[0119] The solvent, which is the second essential component of the surface treatment agent composition of the present invention, is selected from alcohol-based solvents, ether-based solvents, ketone-based solvents, ester-based solvents, carbonate-based solvents, siloxane-based solvents, and hydrocarbon-based solvents. When the solvent is selected from these, it is easy to handle, has good solubility for the organosilane compound (α) and / or its partial reaction condensate, and is less likely to precipitate, so that the surface treatment agent composition can maintain its performance even after long-term storage.

[0120] Examples of such solvents include alcohol-based solvents (propylene glycol monomethyl ether, butanol, isopropanol, etc.), ether-based solvents (tetrahydrofuran (THF), dipropyl ether, dibutyl ether, methyl cyclopentyl ether, methyl t-butyl ether, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, triethylene glycol dimethyl ether, propylene glycol dimethyl ether, etc.), ketone-based solvents (acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, etc.), ester-based solvents (ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, butyl acetate, pentyl acetate, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetone ... Examples of suitable solvents include methyl methyl carbonate, methyl methyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, etc.), carbonate solvents (dimethyl carbonate, ethyl methyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, etc.), siloxane solvents (hexamethyldisiloxane, octamethyltrisiloxane, decamethyltetrasiloxane, dodecamethylpentasiloxane, octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane, etc.), hydrocarbon solvents (petroleum benzine, toluene, xylene, hexane, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, ethylcyclohexane, heptane, octane (n-octane, isooctane, etc.), nonane (n-nonane, isononane, etc.), etc.).

[0121] Here, the solvent is more preferably selected from ether-based solvents, ketone-based solvents, ester-based solvents, siloxane-based solvents, and hydrocarbon-based solvents. When the solvent is selected from these preferred solvents, the solubility of the organosilane compound (α) and / or its partial reaction condensate is further improved, and the surface treatment agent composition can maintain its performance even after long-term storage under severe conditions such as a high-temperature and high-humidity environment.

[0122] It is also preferable to select and use the above solvents with a biobased content of 50% or more as measured by radiocarbon dating in accordance with ASTM D 6866. Solvents with a biobased content of at least the above range are superior in that they pose a smaller environmental burden than solvents produced using raw materials derived from fossil fuels. It is more preferable to use a solvent with a bio-based content of 60% or more, and particularly preferably 70% or more. When the bio-based content of the solvent is in the above range or higher, the burden on the environment is further reduced.

[0123] In the surface treatment agent composition of the present invention, the proportion of the organosilane compound (α) and / or its partial reaction condensate in the total amount of the organosilane compound (α) and / or its partial reaction condensate and the solvent is preferably 0.05 to 70 mass%, more preferably 0.06 to 60 mass%, and even more preferably 0.07 to 50 mass%. This proportion ensures a good balance between the shelf life and ease of handling of the surface treatment agent composition. If the proportion of the organosilane compound (α) and / or its partial reaction condensate in the total amount of the organosilane compound (α) and / or its partial reaction condensate and the solvent is less than the lower limit of the above range, the surface treatment agent composition will be a dilute solution, and trace amounts of water may cause hydrolysis and polycondensation of the organosilane compound (α), resulting in a risk of performance degradation after long-term storage, although this tendency will vary depending on the type of organosilane compound (α) and the solvent. If the proportion of the organosilane compound (α) and / or its partial reaction condensate in the total of the organosilane compound (α) and / or its partial reaction condensate and the solvent exceeds the upper limit of the above range, the surface treatment agent composition will become a concentrated solution, which may increase the dynamic viscosity and reduce handleability, although the tendency will differ depending on the types of organosilane compound (α) and solvent.

[0124] The surface treatment agent composition of the present invention is made of a material that does not contain fluorine atoms, which makes it less likely to decompose and less likely to accumulate in nature compared to conventional fluorine-based surface treatment agent compositions.

[0125] The surface treatment agent composition of the present invention further comprises a compound represented by the following general formula (5): SiR 5 n-4 X 1 n (5) (In the formula, R 5 are independently a hydrogen atom or a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 or 2 carbon atoms, and X 1 are independently a hydroxyl group or a hydrolyzable group, and n is an integer of 1 to 4. It is more preferable that the silane compound contains at least one of the following compounds:

[0126] When the surface treatment agent composition of the present invention contains a silane compound represented by general formula (5), the silane compound represented by general formula (5) acts as a dehydrating agent that captures moisture in the surface treatment agent composition, and the surface treatment agent composition can maintain its performance even after long-term storage.

[0127] In the above formula (5), R 5 are independently a hydrogen atom or a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 or 2 carbon atoms. Examples of the monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 or 2 carbon atoms include alkyl groups such as methyl and ethyl groups, and alkenyl groups such as vinyl groups. R 5 Among these, a methyl group and a vinyl group are preferred.

[0128] In the above formula (5), X 1 are independently a hydroxyl group or a hydrolyzable group. 1 Examples of X include hydroxyl groups; alkoxy groups having 1 to 10 carbon atoms such as methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy, and butoxy; alkoxyalkoxy groups having 2 to 10 carbon atoms such as methoxymethoxy and methoxyethoxy; acyloxy groups having 1 to 10 carbon atoms such as acetoxy; alkenyloxy groups having 2 to 10 carbon atoms such as isopropenoxy and cyclopentenyloxy; halogen groups such as chlorine, bromine, and iodo; and dialkylamino groups having 2 to 10 carbon atoms such as dimethylamino and diethylamino. Of these, methoxy, ethoxy, isopropenoxy, and chlorine groups are preferred. 1may be the same or different.

[0131] In the surface treatment agent composition of the present invention, the content of the silane compound represented by formula (5) is preferably 0.001 to 10 parts by mass, more preferably 0.005 to 9 parts by mass, and even more preferably 0.01 to 8 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the organosilane compound (α) and / or its partial reaction condensate and the solvent. If the content of the silane compound represented by formula (5) is below the lower limit of the above range, the amount of water that the silane compound represented by formula (5) can capture in the surface treatment agent composition is limited to a small amount, and the silane compound cannot fully function as a dehydrating agent, which may result in a decrease in performance after long-term storage. If the content of the silane compound represented by formula (5) exceeds the upper limit of the above range, the water repellency and abrasion resistance of the cured coating obtained from the surface treatment agent composition may be reduced.

[0132] The surface treatment agent composition of the present invention may further contain one or more non-fluorine-based materials selected from a paraffin compound (hereinafter referred to as paraffin oil) that is non-reactive with the organosilane compound (α), a polyol ester compound (hereinafter referred to as polyol ester oil) that is non-reactive with the organosilane compound (α), a silicone compound (hereinafter referred to as silicone oil) that is non-reactive with the organosilane compound (α), a catalyst, a transition metal, a halide ion, a silane coupling agent, and a compound containing an atom having an unshared electron pair in its molecular structure, within an extent that does not impair the present invention.

Specific examples of paraffin oil include liquid paraffin, paraffin wax, polyethylene, polypropylene, and PAO (polyalphaolefin). While paraffin oil that is liquid at room temperature (25°C) is preferred, solid paraffin oils can also be used.

[0134] When paraffin oil is blended into the surface treatment agent composition of the present invention, the content is preferably 0.001 to 80 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the organosilane compound (α) and / or its partial reaction condensate and the solvent.

Examples of suitable polyol ester oils include glycerol tri(2-ethylhexanoate) ester, glycerol tri(oleate) ester, glycerol tri(stearate) ester, pentaerythritol tetra(2-ethylhexanoate) ester, pentaerythritol tetra(oleate) ester, pentaerythritol tetra(stearate) ester, dipentaerythritol hexa(2-ethylhexanoate) ester, dipentaerythritol hexa(oleate) ester, and dipentaerythritol hexa(stearate) ester. Polyol ester oils that are liquid at room temperature (25°C) are preferred, but solid polyol esters can also be used.

[0136] When polyol ester oil is blended into the surface treatment agent composition of the present invention, the content is preferably 0.001 to 80 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the organosilane compound (α) and / or its partial reaction condensate and the solvent.

[0137] Examples of the silicone oil include linear, branched, and cyclic silicone oils having 2,000 or less siloxane bonds. The linear silicone oil may be a so-called straight silicone oil or a modified silicone oil. Examples of straight silicone oils include dimethyl silicone oil, methylphenyl silicone oil, and methylhydrogen silicone oil. Examples of modified silicone oils include straight silicone oils modified with alkyl, aralkyl, polyether, higher fatty acid ester, fluoroalkyl, amino, epoxy, carboxyl, alcohol, or the like. Examples of cyclic silicone oils include cyclic dimethylsiloxane oil. Silicone oils that are liquid at room temperature (25°C) are preferred, but solid silicone oils can also be used.

[0138] When silicone oil is blended into the surface treatment agent composition of the present invention, the content is preferably 0.001 to 80 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the organosilane compound (α) and / or its partial reaction condensate and the solvent.

[0139] Examples of the catalyst include organic acids (acetic acid, methanesulfonic acid, etc.), inorganic acids (hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, etc.), organic bases (ammonia, triethylamine, diethylamine, etc.), inorganic bases (sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, etc.), organotin compounds (dibutyltin dimethoxide, dibutyltin dilaurate, etc.), organotitanium compounds (tetra-n-butyl titanate, etc.), etc. The catalyst can promote the hydrolysis polycondensation reaction of the organosilane compound (α) and promote the formation of a cured coating.

[0140] The surface treatment composition of the present invention can form a cured coating film having excellent water repellency and abrasion resistance, and is therefore suitable for imparting these properties to a substrate. Specifically, the surface treatment composition of the present invention can be used as an antifouling coating agent or a waterproof coating agent.

[0141] The substrate to be treated with the surface treatment composition of the present invention is not particularly limited, and may be made of various materials such as paper, cloth, metal and its oxides, glass, plastic, ceramic, quartz, etc. In particular, SiO2-treated glass and film are preferred.

[0142] The surface treatment agent composition of the present invention can be applied to a substrate by a known method such as dry coating (vacuum deposition, etc.) or wet coating (spray coating, dip coating, spin coating, wipe coating, squeegee coating, die coating, inkjet coating, flow coating, roll coating, cast coating, Langmuir-Blodgett coating, or gravure coating). The heating method used during dry coating, particularly vacuum deposition, is not particularly limited and may be either a resistance heating method or an electron beam heating method.

[0143] In general, in vacuum deposition, the surface treatment agent composition is handled in a state where it is impregnated into a porous base material and placed on a resistance heating boat or an electron beam heating boat. The porous base material impregnated with the surface treatment agent composition is called a pellet (or tablet). Since the pellet is heated together with the surface treatment agent composition, it is desirable that the material be a substance with a high boiling point or melting point that is not easily volatilized or melted by heating, and for example, metal or ceramic is preferably used. The surface treatment agent composition of the present invention can be impregnated into a porous base material, such as a porous ceramic material or a porous metal material (such as a sintered body of metal fiber, a sintered body of metal powder, a mass of metal fiber (such as a mass of metal wool), or a metal sponge), to form a pellet. The pellet can be used for vacuum deposition. When the surface treatment agent composition is formed into a pellet, handling is easy, productivity in the coating process can be improved, and variability in the vacuum deposition completion time can be reduced.

[0144] The pellets are handled while being contained in a container made of metal or ceramic. The container may be circular or polygonal, such as triangular or rectangular. Furthermore, since the container is heated together with the pellets and the surface treatment agent composition, it is desirable that the container be made of a substance with a high boiling point or melting point that is unlikely to volatilize or melt upon heating, such as metal or ceramic.

[0145] The curing conditions for the surface treatment agent composition of the present invention vary depending on the curing method, but are preferably, for example, 25 to 200°C, particularly 25 to 150°C, for 15 minutes to 36 hours, particularly 30 minutes to 24 hours. Curing may also be carried out under humid conditions.

[0146] The thickness of the cured coating is determined depending on the type of substrate, but is usually 0.1 to 100 nm, particularly 1 to 20 nm. The thickness can be measured by, for example, spectral reflectance measurement, X-ray reflectance measurement, spectroscopic ellipsometry measurement, X-ray fluorescence measurement, etc.

[0147] Examples of articles that can be treated with the surface treatment agent composition of the present invention include car navigation systems, mobile phones, smartphones, digital cameras, digital video cameras, PDAs, portable audio players, car audio equipment, game machines, eyeglass lenses, camera lenses, lens filters, sunglasses, medical devices such as gastroscopes, copiers, PCs, liquid crystal displays, organic EL displays, plasma displays, touch panel displays, protective films, anti-reflection films, and other optical components.

[0148] The surface treatment agent composition of the present invention is also useful as an anti-fouling coating for sanitary products such as bathtubs and washbasins; an anti-fouling coating for window glass or tempered glass for automobiles, trains, aircraft, etc., and headlamp covers, etc.; a water-repellent coating for exterior wall building materials; a stain-resistant coating for kitchen building materials; an anti-fouling and anti-poster / anti-graffiti coating for telephone booths; a coating that provides stain resistance for artworks, etc.; a stain-resistant coating for compact discs, DVDs, etc.; a release agent for molds; a flowability modifier or dispersibility modifier for inorganic fillers; and a lubricity improver for tapes, films, etc.

[0149] The surface treatment composition of the present invention is capable of forming a cured coating film having excellent water repellency and abrasion resistance, and is therefore useful as a surface treatment agent, particularly for optical members, lenses, and displays. [Example]
