[0014] [Figure 1] 1 is a side view showing a vehicle body member having a paint protection film and a paint film according to an embodiment of the present invention. BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0015] The coating protection film according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below. The embodiment described below is a preferred example for carrying out the present invention, and therefore various technical limitations are imposed. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment unless otherwise specified in the following description. Furthermore, expressions indicating numerical ranges include upper and lower limits.
[0016] The protective film for coatings of the present invention comprises a predetermined substrate 1 and a predetermined adhesive layer 2, and with respect to thermal stress generated in response to a force acting to suppress thermal expansion and contraction, the substrate 1 has a predetermined thermal contraction force and the adhesive layer 2 has a predetermined linear expansion coefficient.
[0017] The substrate 1 of the present invention is a sheet-like member containing polyolefin. The substrate 1 covers painted bodies of automobiles, motorcycles, mopeds, and other vehicles, automobile bumpers, doors, and other parts, as well as painted parts of vehicles other than automobiles, thereby preventing damage, discoloration, and other deterioration caused by foreign matter such as dust, dirt, and rain.
[0018] The polyolefin used as the material for the substrate 1 is preferably a polymer obtained by copolymerizing an olefinic hydrocarbon having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene, or propylene, with polyethylene, polypropylene, and ethylene being more preferred. As the polyolefin, one of these may be used alone, or two or more may be used in combination. Furthermore, the polyolefin content in the substrate 1 is preferably 30 to 90 mass %, more preferably 40 to 80 mass %. The polyolefin content in the above proportions reduces thermal stress on the coating film C applied to the vehicle body or vehicle body part P, thereby preventing the coating film C from leaving traces of adhesion after peeling.
[0019] The heat shrinkage force of the substrate 1 at 23°C is preferably 0.10 to 2.50 N / 25 mm, more preferably 0.15 to 1.50 N / 25 mm, and most preferably 0.20 to 1.00 N / 25 mm. Because vehicle bodies and vehicle body parts P to which the paint protection film is applied are not necessarily stored under temperature control, thermal stress due to thermal expansion and contraction of the paint protection film acts on the vehicle body or vehicle body part P, causing the coating C applied to the vehicle body or vehicle body part P to be pulled and stretched in various directions, making it more likely that marks will be left on the coating C after the paint protection film is removed. When the heat shrinkage force of the substrate 1 at a predetermined temperature is within the above range, this, combined with the predetermined linear expansion coefficient of the adhesive layer (described below), reduces the thermal stress on the coating C applied to the vehicle body or vehicle body part P, preventing marks from being left on the coating C after removal.
[0020] The bending hardness of the substrate 1 is 0.01 to 10.0 gf cm at 23°C. 2 / cm, and 0.02 to 5.00 gf cm 2 / cm, and more preferably 0.03 to 1.00 gf cm 2 / cm. When the bending hardness of the substrate 1 at a predetermined temperature is within the above range, deterioration such as damage and discoloration caused by foreign matter such as dust, dirt, and rain on the vehicle body or vehicle body part P can be prevented, and thermal stress on the coating film C applied to the vehicle body or vehicle body part P can be alleviated, thereby preventing traces of application on the coating film C after peeling.
[0021] The thickness of the substrate 1 is preferably 10 to 200 μm, and more preferably 20 to 150 μm. When the thickness of the substrate 1 is within the above range, the vehicle body, vehicle body parts P, and painted parts other than automobiles can be protected from damage and deterioration such as discoloration caused by foreign matter such as dust, dirt, and rain.
[0022] Furthermore, it is preferable that an inorganic filler is contained in the substrate 1. The inorganic filler is an additive for modifying the substrate 1, and specifically, is added to reduce the thermal shrinkage force of the substrate 1, thereby alleviating the thermal stress on the coating film C applied to the vehicle body or vehicle body part P, thereby more effectively preventing the coating film C from leaving traces of adhesion after peeling.
[0023] Specific examples of the inorganic filler include calcium carbonate, talc, mica, silica, titanium oxide, etc. The shape of the inorganic filler is not particularly limited, but particles or flakes having an average diameter of 20 nm to 500 μm can be used.
[0024] The adhesive layer 2 has a weight average molecular weight of 30×10 4 ~250×10 4 and is laminated to the base 1. The adhesive layer 2 is a member for fixing the paint protection film of the present invention to a coating C applied to a vehicle body, a vehicle body part P, or a painted part other than an automobile.
[0025] The adhesive used in the adhesive layer 2 is preferably a synthetic polymer such as polyisobutylene or a copolymer of isobutylene and maleic anhydride, and more preferably polyisobutylene. One of these adhesives may be used alone or in combination as the adhesive layer 2. The weight-average molecular weight of the adhesive used in the adhesive layer 2 is preferably 30×10 4 ~250×10 4 Preferably, it is 50×10 4 ~100×10 4Preferably, the weight average molecular weight is 70 to 100 mass %, more preferably 80 to 95 mass %. The weight average molecular weight is preferably measured by GPC using polystyrene as a standard substance. The polyisobutylene content in the adhesive layer 2 is preferably 70 to 100 mass %, and more preferably 80 to 95 mass %. By blending the synthetic polymer used as the adhesive layer 2 within the above-mentioned range of weight average molecular weight and in the above-mentioned blending ratio, thermal stress on the coating film C applied to the vehicle body, vehicle body part P, or painted parts other than automobiles can be alleviated, thereby preventing the coating film C from leaving traces of adhesion after peeling.
[0026] In the adhesive layer 2, the weight average molecular weight is 1×10 4 ~7×10 4 and [ka] (In the formula, m and n are each a number from 1 to 4, p and q are each a number from 5 to 20, x and y are each a number from 1 to 100, R 1 ,R 2 each represents a hydrogen atom or an alkylene group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms), [ka] (wherein x and y are numbers from 5 to 150, R 1 ,R 2 each represents a hydrogen atom or an alkylene group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms), or [ka] (wherein x and y are numbers from 1 to 80, R 1 ,R 2 each represents a hydrogen atom or an alkylene group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms), It is preferable that the surface conditioner contains at least one polyether-modified polydimethylsiloxane selected from the following:
[0027] The polyether-modified polydimethylsiloxane is uniformly blended into the adhesive layer 2 and can reduce the linear expansion coefficient of the adhesive layer 2, thereby alleviating the thermal stress on the coating film C applied to the vehicle body or vehicle body part P, thereby preventing the coating film C from leaving traces of adhesion after peeling.
[0028] The weight average molecular weight of the polyether-modified polydimethylsiloxane is 1×10 4 ~7×10 4 Preferably, it is 3×10 4 ~5×10 4 It is more preferable that the weight average molecular weight is measured by GPC using polystyrene as a standard substance. [Example]

After that, all of the films were stored in a constant temperature room at 23°C for 2 hours, after which the paint protection films were peeled off from the bumper and the surface of Paint Film C was visually inspected. Films that showed no change after peeling off the paint protection film were evaluated as ◯, films that showed slight traces of adhesion such as shifting or rippling of Paint Film C were evaluated as △, and films where Paint Film C peeled off, exposing the underlying bumper were evaluated as ×. A rating of ◯ was considered good, and ratings of △ and × were considered poor.
[0043] These results are shown in Table 1.
[0044] [Table 1]
[0045] In addition, Examples 1 to 4, Reference examples 1~2 The heat shrinkage force of the substrate 1 in Comparative Examples 1 to 6 was measured using a thermomechanical analyzer (manufactured by TA Instruments Japan, model number: TMA Q400SR) by applying a load of 0.01 N, leaving the substrate at 40°C for 3 minutes, applying a length strain of 0.1%, heating from 40°C to 80°C at a rate of 10°C per minute, leaving the substrate at 80°C for 10 minutes, and then cooling from 80°C to 23°C at a rate of 10°C per minute, and measuring the shrinkage force at 23°C. The bending hardness of the substrate 1 in Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 was measured using a pure bending tester (manufactured by Kato Tech Co., Ltd., model number: KES-FB2-S) by bending a substrate 1 20 cm long and 10 cm wide at 23°C while holding it in chucks spaced 1 cm apart.
[0046] Furthermore, Examples 1 to 4, Reference examples 1~2The linear expansion coefficient of the adhesive layer 2 in Comparative Examples 1 to 6 was determined in accordance with JIS K7197-1991 using a thermomechanical analyzer (manufactured by TA Instruments Japan, model number: TMA Q400SR) by applying a load of 0.01 N and heating from 23°C to 80°C at a rate of 10°C per minute, and calculating the average expansion coefficient from 23°C to 80°C.

Thus, the paint protection film of the present invention can be used as a film for protecting a vehicle body having a paint film, as a film for protecting an automobile paint film, and as a film for protecting a resin paint film. 。 [Explanation of symbols]
