Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an outdoor UV protection film, particularly a UV protection film for building members such as floor materials, especially for coating terrace styles, which are intended for outdoor use.

Background Art

[0002] One of the important trends in recent years is aesthetically pleasing outdoor building members. More and more people are designing terraces, balconies, and outdoor seating as additional "living spaces". This includes, in addition to the corresponding furniture, comfortable floor materials, sight protection elements, fences, plant boxes, and many others. Certainly, the appearance of natural stone and wood is very favorable, but a surface that is easier to clean is required.

[0003] These requirements can be met by plastics. In addition to pure plastics and, more recently, so-called WPC materials (wood plastic composites), coating the base material has also been known for a long time. This is also very successful for members such as walls and fences. However, in the case of floor materials, the durability has been insufficient and / or there have been other drawbacks. For example, laminate films known from indoor furniture and floor panels have the problem that outdoors, especially due to the lack of UV protection effect of the upper layer(s), the decorative paper fades and the surface often becomes too slippery, and as a result, the slip resistance required for the floor outdoors is not achieved.

[0005] Therefore, the challenge remains of providing a surface that has a desirable appearance for outdoor use, is easy to clean, and is durable. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] Surprisingly, it has been found that printed base films made of PVC, polyacrylate, or polyolefin, which are given and painted with a polyurethane-based abrasion-resistant hot melt coating, have effective UV protection, and therefore the required durability of the printed design is achieved. Sliding resistance is ensured by embossing combined with the abrasion-resistant PUR hot melt coating. In one preferred modification, embossing can be obtained particularly easily by an embossed intermediate layer beneath the PUR hot melt coating.

[0007] Therefore, the above issues are as follows: - Base film made of PVC, polyacrylate or polyolefin, - Printed design and / or coloring of the base film, - Polyurethane-based abrasion-resistant hot melt coating, and - Paint layer and / or polymer protective layer, This is solved by a UV protective film, including [the relevant component].

[0008] Furthermore, the above problems are solved by a method for manufacturing a coated member by laminating the UV protective film with a substrate, by using this UV protective film for coating the substrate, and by a method for manufacturing a UV protective film in which the base film made of PVC, polyacrylate or polyolefin is printed and / or colored with a design, a polyurethane-based protective coating and a paint layer and / or polymer protective layer are applied thereon, and the layer below the paint layer is embossed.

[0009] The UV protective film according to the present invention has a structure of at least three, preferably four, layers. Further layers, such as a primer on the underside of the base film, are also possible. Each layer of the UV protective film can consist of multiple layers, each independent of the others. For example, thicker layers can be obtained by knife coating the material multiple times, or the base film can be manufactured by co-extrusion. These layers can be identical or different in composition.

[0010] Within the framework of this invention, "down," "below," and "bottom surface" refer to the surface of the layer facing the substrate or the surface of the layer closer to the substrate. "Up," "above," and "top surface" refer to the layer opposite to the substrate or a layer further away from the substrate, and the uppermost surface of the UV protective film constitutes the usable surface of the building component.

[0011] The bottom layer refers to the printable base film. On the one hand, this needs to form sufficient adhesion when laminated with the substrate, and on the other hand, it provides the necessary mechanical properties to the UV protective film as a carrier during manufacturing and processing.

[0012] Suitable materials for base films are PVC (polyvinyl chloride), polyacrylate, and polyolefin. These materials have good UV stability, either on their own or with additives that are known to be beneficial. In addition, they are highly resistant to hydrolysis and thermal decomposition.

[0013] Bonding to the substrate is typically achieved via adhesive lamination, for example, using a polyurethane hot-melt adhesive. To optimize adhesion, a primer can be applied to the underside of the base film. For example, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer-based primers are suitable for PVC, polyacrylate, and PVC-polyacrylate films. Among these, two-component polyurethane primers are suitable for polyolefin films. The base film may be subjected to plasma irradiation, corona treatment, or other surface treatments, either as an alternative or in addition.

[0014] The PVC base film preferably contains, in addition to polyvinyl chloride, stabilizers, processing aids, UV absorbers, antistatic agents, and pigments. Preferably, it also contains modifiers, particularly polyacrylates, and epoxidized soybean oil. As stabilizers, tin has been found to be particularly effective, and BaZn and CaZn can also be used. Tin is preferably used in combination with phosphite as a co-stabilizer. Processing aids include, for example, polymer-type flow aids, such as MMA, BA, and styrene-based flow aids. Furthermore, PVC films using polymer plasticizers and copolymers, particularly vinyl chloride and acrylate-based copolymers, can be used.

[0015] The proportion of PVC is typically 70% to 85% by weight. The proportion of plasticizer is usually up to 30% by weight, but can be completely or partially replaced by appropriate supplemental or alternative raw materials, such as copolymers. Components in the formulation can be recycled materials. The amount can be up to 20% by weight, preferably up to 5% by weight. In this case, the materials introduced can be the same or slightly modified formulation.

[0016] The polyacrylate-based film may preferably be made of methyl methacrylate (MMA), butyl acrylate (BA), and / or ethyl acrylate (EA), and in particular, copolymers consisting of two of the above monomers, and especially preferably all three monomers, are used. The base film may further usually contain one or more of the following: a UV absorber, such as a benzotriazole-based UV absorber; an antioxidant, such as a phenolic antioxidant; a light stabilizer, preferably HALS; and a pigment. Furthermore, a polyacrylate-based processing aid may be included.

[0017] The polyolefin-based film may preferably be made of polyethylene, polypropylene, or olefin copolymer. The film may contain fillers, such as chalk, and conventional additives. For example, the polyolefin-based film may contain 25 to 120 parts by weight of fine mineral fillers or mineral filler mixtures, preferably calcium carbonate, alkaline earth metal oxides, microtalc, kaolin, silicate, magnesium-aluminum-oxy- or -hydroxy-carbonate and / or silicate, and / or silica gel with an average particle size of less than 10 μm, preferably 0.05 to 5 μm, per 100 parts by weight of polyolefin or polyolefin alloy, preferably propylene homopolymer or high-density polyethylene (HDPE). In one of the other embodiments, the polyolefin-based film contains 5 to 40 parts by weight, preferably 10 to 30 parts by weight, of at least one fine organic filler (per 100 parts by weight of polyolefin) per 100 parts by weight of polyolefin or polyolefin alloy, preferably propylene homopolymer or HDPE, or a combination of these weight proportions of organic filler and 0 to 30 parts by weight, preferably 5 to 25 parts by weight, of at least one fine mineral-based inorganic filler or filler mixture.

[0018] The thickness of the base film is typically 80 to 250 μm, preferably 100 to 200 μm, and particularly preferably 120 to 160 μm. The base film is usually manufactured by rolling, but can also be extruded. Extrusion includes all methods, namely inflation film extrusion, cast film extrusion, and cast film extrusion. Cast film extrusion is preferred. The molten material is fed through a slot die and cooled by a cooling roller / chill roller. Single-screw or multi-screw extruders and their deformed versions can be used as tools. Preferably, manufacturing is carried out using a single-screw extruder. The base film can be stretched uniaxially or biaxially. This provides higher dimensional stability with respect to temperature during application of the hot melt coating. In addition, the risk of microcracks in the hot melt coating is minimized when coating a substrate with the UV protective film according to the present invention. By stretching, the extensibility of the base film is reduced to match that of the hot melt coating, i.e., to the same extent.

[0019] If the base film is not colored for a single color, the desired design is printed on the base film. In this case, the base film can be colored entirely, or, in the case of a multilayer base film, the top layer can be colored entirely. This is preferable for single-color designs. For printing purposes, the base color can also be provided by a fully colored base film or the top layer of the base film. Printing of the design can be achieved by any known method. For example, intaglio printing, especially intaglio printing using solvent inks, and digital printing are particularly useful. As with single colors, wood decoration, natural stone, and fantasy patterns are also possible designs. The printing ink is applied to the base film, for example, by printing rollers connected in series. In digital printing, both single-pass and multi-pass print heads can be used for the design. The printed image is often composed of multiple printing inks and features light stability. In addition to solvent-based printing inks, water-based printing inks can also be considered.

[0020] Pigments used for the complete coloring of the base film or its topmost layer and for the generation of single colors can be organic and inorganic and can reflect or transmit the IR component in sunlight.

[0021] Over the printing, a polyurethane-based hot melt coating is applied. Within the framework of the present invention, the polyurethane-based hot melt coating, which is also briefly referred to as PUR hot melt coating or hot melt coating, means a reactive hot melt composition as described, for example, in WO2006 / 056472A1 (Patent Document 1), WO2012 / 084823A1 (Patent Document 2), WO2006 / 106143A1 (Patent Document 3) or US8,153,265B2 (Patent Document 4). The reactive hot melt composition can react and cure, for example, by ambient moisture, but also by irradiation with UV light. This can be a one-component or two-component type composition. It is important that this is a transparent PUR hot melt coating so that the color or printing remains visible through the hot melt coating.

[0022] Preferably, a one-component reactive hot melt composition that cures by the moisture in the air and contains a polyurethane prepolymer is used. When its prepolymer chains are heated, they liquefy into an applicable liquid, which cures into a polyurethane layer when moisture is supplied.

[0023] To enhance abrasion resistance, the reactive hot melt composition contains particles having appropriate hardness. Preferred are particles used as abrasives such as corundum, zirconium, silicon carbide, boron nitride, diamond or glass particles. In particular, corundum and glass particles are preferred because of their economy.

[0024] The PUR hot melt coating layer typically has a thickness of 10 to 150 μm, preferably 20 to 120 μm, and particularly 30 to 100 μm. It can be applied by known methods such as brush application, knife application, or roller application.

[0025] In one preferred embodiment, an embossed intermediate layer is placed beneath the PUR hot melt coating, which is also formed from a polyurethane-based reactive hot melt composition but contains no fillers or only a small amount of fillers compared to the PUR hot melt coating. The intermediate layer also needs to be transparent. The intermediate layer makes it particularly easy to obtain the entire PUR hot melt coating without air bubbles and therefore with high transparency. If there is no filler-free intermediate layer, air bubbles may become trapped during the application of the PUR hot melt coating, which may impair transparency.

[0026] The thickness of the intermediate layer depends on the desired embossing depth and the thickness of the PUR hot melt coating layer, and is generally 10 to 100 μm, preferably 20 to 80 μm, and particularly preferably 30 to 60 μm.

[0027] The application of the intermediate layer can be carried out in the same manner as the application of the PUR hot melt coating, in which case the same or different methods can be used for coating a single film. In one preferred embodiment, the intermediate layer is applied using a slot die with or without a roller bar, and the PUR hot melt coating layer is applied by roller application. Advantageously, for the intermediate layer, the same reactive hot melt composition as for the PUR hot melt coating is used, but without particles. Alternatively, different reactive hot melt compositions can be used, for example, a radiation-curing composition for the intermediate layer and a moisture-curing composition for the hot melt coating. The intermediate layer can also be supplied as a film, for example, an embossed film. The intermediate layer essentially improves UV protection because it contains no or only small amounts of particles. In the absence of an intermediate layer, particles in the PUR hot melt coating may reach the base film, thereby allowing light to penetrate directly to the printed design.

[0028] If an embossed intermediate layer made of a polyurethane-based reactive hot-melt composition is not provided, the base film, or preferably the PUR hot-melt coating layer, is embossed. Embossing of the base film and / or intermediate layer and / or PUR hot-melt coating is carried out by methods known to the present day, for example, using a pair of rollers. As is also known, the embossed pattern can be aligned with and correspond to the printed design. For example, the embossing is typically matched to the wood grain of a printed wood structure, or to simulate seams in the appearance of tiles.

[0029] The typical embossing depth is 5–30 μm, preferably 10–20 μm. This, combined with the particles in the PUR hot-melt coating layer, ensures sufficient sliding resistance. Typically, a sliding resistance value of at least R10–R12, preferably at least R11, is achieved according to DIN 51130 or ASR A1.5 / 1.2.

[0030] The upper layer is formed from a transparent paint layer and / or a peelable polymer protective layer. The film is very rough on the surface for the PUR hot melt coating layer. This is also desirable to achieve high sliding resistance in a wet state. However, a very rough and very hard abrasion-resistant surface has the disadvantage that the pressure rollers of the coating or coating apparatus wear out in a very short time and the process becomes unstable. As a result, complaints arise due to defective coatings. Therefore, the surface of the protective film according to the present invention is formed from a paint layer or a polymer protective layer. The application of the paint layer or polymer protective layer is also necessary so that the film with the PUR hot melt coating can be wound immediately. Otherwise, the film roll will block, because it usually takes some time for the applied hot melt coating(s) to harden to a block-resistant state. If the protective polymer layer does not form too strong an adhesion to the PUR hot melt composition, the paint layer can be omitted and the material can be wound by the protective layer. One additional benefit of the protective layer is the protection of the surface of the building material against scratching (e.g., scratching by the sliding resistance PUR protective hot melt coating of other building materials). The paint layer remains as part of the protective film of the present invention, and the polymer protective layer is peeled off after the manufacture of the building material, or immediately before or after its laying / installation.

[0031] The coating layers are preferably acrylate coating layers and polyurethane coating layers, with radiation-curable coating layers being particularly preferred. Crosslinking of the coating layers is preferably carried out by a UV or LED radiator. This can be done by one or more irradiation sources. In this case, the energy output is, for example, 30W to 200W, preferably 50W to 180W, and particularly 90W to 150W.

[0032] The coating layer is advantageously applied by roller application or spray application and optionally cured by irradiation. A thickness of 1 to 50 μm, preferably 3 to 15 μm, and particularly preferably 5 to 10 μm has been found to be effective. The coating layer improves UV protection on the one hand, and on the other hand, it provides an antiblocking effect, as a result the UV protective film can be wound and unwound without problems. The coating layer has a low gloss, usually 4 to 20 gloss points, preferably up to 15 gloss points, in accordance with ISO 2813. Measurement is performed using a goniotograph. The measurement angles can be 20°, 35°, (preferably) 60°, and 80° or 85°.

[0033] Preferably, the polymer protective layer is a hot-melt composition composed of polyethylene (PE, preferably HDPE) or PE (preferably LDPE mixed with low-density linear polyethylene (LLDPE)) and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA). The EVA typically has a vinyl acetate content in the range of 15-25% by weight. The polymer protective layer may contain additives, such as heat stabilizers, HALS, UV stabilizers, and fillers. In one preferred embodiment, no additives are included, or UV stabilizers are included in amounts less than usual.

[0034] The polymer protective layer material exhibits the desired adhesion to the PUR hot melt composition layer or paint layer by selecting an appropriate weight ratio of PE to EVA. The adhesion should be sufficient to prevent the polymer protective layer from peeling substantially until the completion of the building component manufacturing. It must be weak enough to allow for the removal of the protective layer. The mixing ratio also depends on the set surface roughness, and potentially, the desired adhesion to the paint layer. The mass-based mixing ratio PE:EVA can be 1:5 to 5:1, preferably 1:1 to 3:1, depending on the desired adhesion. Adhesion can also be influenced by different PE mixtures; namely, the addition of LLDPE results in enhanced adhesion and, at the same time, improved tear resistance, which facilitates peeling. Other hot melt compositions that construct the desired adhesion with the PUR hot melt coating layer or paint layer are also possible, such as compositions known as protections for sheet metal laminated with PVC.

[0035] The polymer protective layer can be applied to a rough surface after the PUR hot melt composition coating or painting using a cast coating method, knife method, or roller method. A cast method using cooled roller gaps is preferred. In this method, the molten material flows into the grooves, mitigating the abrasive effect. The surface facing the coating pressure roller is preferably formed smoothly.

[0036] The application amount depends on the structure of the sliding-resistant PUR hot melt coating, and is 20 g / m². 2 ~200g / m 2 Preferably 100 g / m² 2 ~150g / m 2 That is the case.

[0037] The total thickness of the UV protective layer, when not including the polymer protective film, is typically 10 to 150 μm, preferably 40 to 100 μm, and particularly preferably 50 to 80 μm.

[0038] The UV protective film according to the present invention preferably has at least one of the following characteristics: - Scratch resistance of ≥3N, preferably ≥4N, according to DIN 15186, or at least Class A3 according to DIN EN 16094:2012-04 and Class B3 according to DIN CEN / TS 16611:2014, and / or - Wear or abrasion resistance of ≥3,000 rpm, preferably ≥4,000 rpm, according to DIN EN13329, or ≥8,000 rpm, preferably 10,000 rpm, according to EN14354:2017-11, and / or - Weather resistance for at least 10,000, preferably at least 15,000 test hours according to EN513 (Method 1(M)), and in the same case, minimum color stability on grayscale 3 as evaluated according to EN20105-A02, and / or - The sliding resistance reaches at least class R10, preferably R11, which corresponds to a minimum incline of 10° according to DIN51130:2014.

[0039] Wood, metal, plastic, and composite materials are considered as substrates. The substrate provides the necessary mechanical properties for building components. By coating with a UV protective film, the desired optical design is achieved on the one hand, and on the other hand, the substrate is protected from the elements. Plastics do not age in UV light, metals do not corrode, and wood is kept dry and also protected from UV light. Surface cleaning is easy, and therefore, a visually attractive state can be maintained for a considerably longer time and with considerably less effort.

[0040] Typical building components include floorboards and slabs for terraces, balconies, pathways, panels, fence posts and components, screens, and plant boxes. Particular interest in this invention lies in floorboards, as they impose high requirements for sliding resistance, are prone to soiling in a short time, and are subject to high UV and mechanical loads. Previous products often failed to achieve sufficient sliding resistance, deteriorated rapidly in appearance due to UV light, and / or could not withstand mechanical loads. Delamination, especially at corners and edges, frequently occurred.

[0041] In contrast, building components manufactured according to the present invention have improved UV protection, especially when an intermediate layer is present, and do not require compromise in terms of sliding resistance. Mechanical load-bearing capacity is also improved because the adhesion of the base film to the substrate and the adhesion between film layers are optimized due to the described means.

[0042] An example of a film known for outdoor use is the paper-based Elesgo film. In this film, an acrylate-impregnated printed paper film is coated with a thick corundum-containing acrylic coating layer. The top structure is produced by a structured film, in which case only a sliding resistance in the range of R10 can be achieved. This is a low value for safe walking in wet conditions. Variations of this plastic-based film with improved internal strength have the same unfavorable sliding behavior based on the same manufacturing technique of the coating. This method is shown at https: / / laminate.de / index.php / de / technologie2 / prozess.

[0043] Furthermore, HPL compact plates manufactured on a melamine or phenolic resin-impregnated paper base are known. Many of these products have low lightfastness due to printing. The sliding resistance of these products is generated by the press sheet, which reduces the effect of the corundum incorporated in the top layer of paper. While good abrasion resistance is achieved, the sliding resistance is rather low, because otherwise the press sheet would wear down rapidly due to the process.

[0044] At the current level of technology, no high-value horizontal outdoor decoration as achievable by this invention is known. Existing systems become unusable after only a few years due to their high demands. Known failures include layer separation, layer breakage, fading and discoloration due to the use of inadequate UV protective layers, difficult process execution due to excessive rigidity, increased water absorption and resulting expansion, and insufficient adhesion to the carrier material.

[0045] Furthermore, the UV protective film according to the present invention is also very well suited for the decorative design of swimming pool covers (so-called roller shutter systems). Conventional plastic films often fail due to a lack of weather stability. In plastic films with a transparent polyacrylate layer for climate protection, clouding due to water absorption is a problem. In contrast, the UV protective film according to the present invention provides good stability in chlorine-containing (and salt-containing) swimming pool water, as well as the necessary climate stability. Known shutter-like covers are also suitable as substrates, provided that these covers must float. Therefore, segments made of wood, plastic, and composite materials are preferred, and in the case of particularly preferred hollow segments, segments made of plastic, composite materials, and metal are preferred.

[0046] Embodiments of the method according to the present invention for the manufacture of UV protective film are specifically illustrated in Figures 1-7. In the same process progression, the same reference numerals are used for the devices shown in the drawings. In all the methods specifically illustrated, the base film 1 is manufactured by a method known to the present, for example, by rolling (not shown). This base film 1 is printed by a method known to the present (if this is not a colored film for monochromatic building materials), and optionally, a primer 5 is provided and / or irradiated on the underside (where underside means facing the substrate). Typically, the base film 1 is wound and stored. In the next step, the printed (or colored) base film 1 is unwound, and a reactive hot melt composition is applied to this base film 1 or to the print D.

[0047] In the embodiments shown in Figures 1, 2, 4, and 6, first, a particle-free intermediate layer 2 is applied using a slot die a. The intermediate layer 2 on the base film 1 is then embossed using roller pairs b and b'.

[0048] In all figures, a particle-containing polyurethane-based abrasion-resistant hot melt coating is applied as a second or third layer 3 using rollers c, c'. The heated PUR hot melt coating 3 hardens after application by contact with moisture in the air. Alternatively, radiation curing can be provided for radiation-curable reactive hot melt compositions.

[0049] Next, in Figures 1, 2, 4, and 6, paint layer 4, in this case a UV-curable acrylate paint layer, is applied by roller application using rollers d and d'. Paint layer 4 is cured by UV radiation from a radiation source. This curing of the paint layer is carried out, for example, by a UV lamp or LED irradiator; optionally, an excimer laser or excimer UV irradiator is additionally used to achieve a matte finish or improved scratch resistance of the surface.

[0050] In Figure 2, the polymer protective layer 6 is cast onto the paint layer; in Figure 4, it is applied by knife; and in Figure 6, it is applied by roller. In Figure 3, the polymer protective layer 6 is cast directly onto the PUR hot melt coating 3; in Figure 5, it is applied by knife; and in Figure 7, it is applied by roller.

[0051] The completed UV protective film is wound and, after the hot melt coating(s) have cured, is ready for coating the substrate. This includes the intermediate layer and paint layer in Figures 1, 2, 4, and 6, and also includes the polymer protective layer in Figures 2-7. In Figures 3, 5, and 7, the paint layer and intermediate layer are absent, and in Figure 1, the polymer protective layer is absent.

[0052] Figures 8a and 8b schematically show each layer of the first preferred UV protective film, either isolated or together. Here, we can see how the embossing of the intermediate layer 2 determines the surface structure of the UV protective film. The PUR hot melt coating 3 and the paint layer 4 follow the structure of the intermediate layer 2.

[0053] Figures 9a and 9b schematically show each layer of the second preferred UV protective film, either isolated or together. Here, we can see how the embossing of the intermediate layer 2 determines the surface structure of the UV protective film. The PUR hot melt coating 3, the paint layer 4, and the polymer protective layer 6 follow the structure of the intermediate layer 2.

[0054] Figures 10a and 10b schematically show each layer of the third preferred UV protective film, either isolated or together. Here, we can see how the embossing of the intermediate layer 2 determines the surface structure of the UV protective film. The PUR hot melt coating 3 and the polymer protective layer 6 follow the structure of the intermediate layer 2.

The term "approximately" with respect to numerical values ​​means that the values ​​include at least a value greater than or less than 10%, or a value greater than or less than 5%, and in individual cases, a value greater than or less than 1%.
