Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a water-based paint composition, a method for producing the same, a substrate with an adhesive layer, a laminate, and a composition set. [Background technology]
[0002] Water-based paints are used because the aqueous dispersions obtained by polymerization tend to exhibit barrier properties, stain resistance, chemical resistance, flame retardancy, heat resistance, weather resistance, scratch resistance, and abrasion resistance when dried at room temperature or under heating. However, when such water-based paints are used in applications requiring transparency, prolonged exposure to the outdoors or ultraviolet light can lead to problems such as loss of transparency, cloudiness, discoloration, whitening, and crazing. Furthermore, when the paint is used as a topcoat, abrasion resistance is required for the topcoat. From the standpoint of abrasion resistance, solvent-based paints are sometimes used. Such solvent-based paints can be relatively easily incorporated with organic ultraviolet absorbers while maintaining the properties of the paint and the resulting coating film.
[0003] However, due to concerns about hygiene at the work site and the burden on the global environment, the use of water-based paints is preferred over solvent-based paints. Furthermore, when solvent-based paints are used on resin substrates, depending on the solvent composition and resin type, there is a concern that the paint may corrode the substrate, impairing its transparency and smoothness. For example, polycarbonate, a transparent resin material, is easily corroded by butyl acetate, a typical organic solvent used in solvent-based paints. For this reason, the use of water-based paints is desirable.
[0004] As a technique for improving the optical properties of water-based paints, Patent Document 1 describes a method of compounding cerium oxide, an inorganic ultraviolet absorber, with emulsion particles for the purpose of imparting weather resistance. Furthermore, Patent Document 2 describes a method of adding a hydroxyphenyltriazine compound, which is an organic ultraviolet absorber, to an acrylic polymer dissolved in an organic solvent. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]
[0005] [Patent Document 1] Special Publication No. 2015-527430 [Patent Document 2] WO2011 / 105382 publication [Overview of the Initiative] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0006] However, while the method described in Patent Document 1 can impart weather resistance, it has the problem that the amount of ultraviolet absorber that can be contained in the coating film is small, making it difficult to achieve both high weather resistance and transparency and a long pot life. Furthermore, while the method described in Patent Document 2 can contain a large amount of UV absorber and exhibits excellent weather resistance, it is based on the premise of application to solvent-based paints, and it is difficult to maintain paint stability when applied to water-based paints. In other words, when using water-based paints, if the formulation stability of the water-based paint is insufficient, precipitation and other issues may occur over time, leading to clogging of painting equipment and the appearance of bumps and cloudiness on the paint film surface. In addition, since the paint must be used up within the time that stability is maintained, it must be mixed in small amounts, which has the problem of significantly affecting the productivity of the painting process.
[0007] This invention has been made in view of the problems of the above-mentioned prior art, and its purpose is to provide a water-based paint composition that can form a coating film with excellent transparency and weather resistance and has excellent pot life, a method for producing the same, a substrate with an adhesive layer, a laminate, and a composition set.

The water-based coating composition of this embodiment may contain one or more of these inorganic oxides or other inorganic oxides having these shapes. In this embodiment, from the viewpoint of hardness and transparency of the laminate, it is preferable that the inorganic oxide has a spherical and / or bead-like or chain-like linked structure. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of adhesion of the laminate, it is even more preferable that the inorganic oxide has a bead-like or chain-like linked structure. Here, bead-like refers to a structure in which spherical primary particles are linked in a bead-like manner, and chain-like refers to a structure in which spherical primary particles are linked in a chain-like manner. In this embodiment, it is particularly preferable that the inorganic oxide is silica having a spherical and / or linked structure.
[0059] [Composite of emulsion particles and inorganic oxides] The inorganic oxide (I) may be pre-compounded with emulsion particles. The complex of emulsion particles and inorganic oxide can be obtained, for example, by polymerizing the vinyl monomer constituting the emulsion particles in the presence of the inorganic oxide. From the viewpoint of interaction with the inorganic oxide, it is preferable that the vinyl monomer contains the vinyl monomer having secondary and / or tertiary amide groups described above. The complex can preferably be formed by hydrogen bonding between the hydroxyl group of the inorganic oxide and the secondary and / or tertiary amide groups.
[0060] In this embodiment, it is preferable that at least one average particle diameter selected from the group consisting of inorganic oxides, emulsion particles, and composites of inorganic oxides and emulsion particles is between 2 nm and 4000 nm from the viewpoint of transparency and adhesion. The above average particle diameter can be measured by the method described in the examples later. Here, the adhesive layer in this embodiment can be obtained by coating a substrate with a water-based paint composition and forming a coating film by heat treatment, ultraviolet irradiation, infrared irradiation, etc. Therefore, if the average particle diameters of inorganic oxides, emulsion particles, and composites of inorganic oxides and emulsion particles in the water-based paint composition are known, they can be used to determine each average particle diameter in the adhesive layer by assuming that they closely match the average particle diameters of inorganic oxides, emulsion particles, and composites of inorganic oxides and emulsion particles in the corresponding adhesive layer.
[0061] In this embodiment, the average particle size of the mixture of emulsion particles and inorganic oxide and / or the composite of emulsion particles and inorganic oxide is more preferably 2 nm or more from the viewpoint of good storage stability of the raw material composition of the adhesive layer, preferably 2000 nm or less from the viewpoint of transparency, more preferably 1000 nm or less, and even more preferably 500 nm or less. The average particle size described above can be measured by the method described in the examples below, and can be adjusted to the range mentioned above by, for example, the mass ratio of emulsion particles to inorganic oxides or the solid content concentration. Furthermore, in this specification, the average particle diameter of a mixture of emulsion particles and an inorganic oxide is defined as the average particle diameter of the mixture being 2 nm or more and 2000 nm or less when both the average particle diameter of the emulsion particles and the primary average particle diameter of the inorganic oxide are 2 nm or more and 2000 nm or less.
[0062] From the viewpoint of adhesion, the mass ratio of emulsion particles to inorganic oxide is preferably 1:0.1 to 1:10, more preferably 1:0.3 to 1:5, and even more preferably 1:0.5 to 1:2. Here, the adhesive layer in this embodiment can be obtained by coating a substrate with a water-based paint composition and forming a coating film by heat treatment, ultraviolet irradiation, infrared irradiation, etc. Therefore, if the mass ratio of emulsion particles to inorganic oxide in the water-based paint composition is known, the mass ratio in the adhesive layer can be determined by assuming that this mass ratio closely matches the mass ratio of emulsion particles to inorganic oxide in the corresponding adhesive layer.
[0063] The total content of the mixture of emulsion particles and inorganic oxides, and the composite of emulsion particles and inorganic oxides, is preferably 0.1% to 20% by mass, more preferably 1% to 15% by mass, and even more preferably 3% to 10% by mass, based on solid content, per 100% by mass of the water-based paint composition.
[0064] [Blocked polyisocyanate] The water-based coating composition of this embodiment contains, from the viewpoint of improving adhesion between the adhesive layer and the substrate, a blocked polyisocyanate obtained by reacting the isocyanate group contained in an isocyanate compound with a blocking agent, as an isocyanate-based crosslinking agent. When blocked polyisocyanates are used as isocyanate-based crosslinking agents together with emulsion particles polymerized from monomers containing hydroxyl group-containing vinyl monomers, the hydroxyl groups of the emulsion particles and the isocyanate groups form urethane bonds during coating film formation. As a result, the resulting coating films tend to have improved adhesion and strength.

Furthermore, the isocyanate compound may contain an alkoxysilane moiety and / or a siloxane moiety within the molecule. Examples of such isocyanate compounds include hydrolysis condensates of 3-isocyanate-propyltriethoxysilane and 3-isocyanate-propyltriethoxysilane. These can be used individually or in combination of two or more.
[0067] The blocking agents used as raw materials for blocked polyisocyanates are not particularly limited, but examples include oxime compounds, alcohol compounds, acid amide compounds, acid imide compounds, phenol compounds, amine compounds, active methylene compounds, imidazole compounds, and pyrazole compounds. These blocking agents can be used individually or in appropriate combinations of two or more.

Examples of alcohol compounds include, but are not limited to, methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, n-butanol, sec-butanol, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, 2-methoxyethanol, 2-ethoxyethanol, and 2-butoxyethanol.

Examples of pyrazole compounds include, but are not limited to, pyrazole, 3-methylpyrazole, and 3,5-dimethylpyrazole.
[0069] The isocyanate compound used as the raw material for block polyisocyanates is more preferably an aliphatic or alicyclic diisocyanate or triisocyanate, aralkylene diisocyanate, or isocyanate derived therefrom, in terms of weather resistance and pot life. Block polyisocyanates are even more preferably those having structures such as burette, isocyanurate, urethane, uretdione, and allophanate within their molecule. Those with a burette structure often exhibit excellent adhesion. Those with an isocyanurate structure often exhibit excellent weather resistance. Those with a urethane structure using an alcohol compound with a long side chain often exhibit excellent elasticity and extensibility. Those with a uretdione or allophanate structure often exhibit low viscosity.
[0070] From the viewpoint of water dispersibility, it is preferable that the blocked polyisocyanate is a water-dispersible blocked polyisocyanate obtained by reacting an isocyanate compound having two or more isocyanate groups in one molecule with a hydroxyl group-containing hydrophilic compound having nonionic and / or ionic hydrophilic groups in an isocyanate group / hydroxyl group equivalent ratio in the range of 1.05 to 1000, and further reacting it with a blocking agent. More preferably, the isocyanate group / hydroxyl group equivalent ratio is in the range of 2 to 200, and even more preferably in the range of 4 to 100. An isocyanate group / hydroxyl group equivalent ratio of 1.05 or higher is preferable because the isocyanate group content in the hydrophilic blocked polyisocyanate is above a predetermined level, resulting in more crosslinking points in the water-based paint composition, which leads to an increase in curing speed or an improvement in the strength of the adhesive layer such as the paint film. An equivalent ratio of 1000 or lower is preferable because it exhibits hydrophilicity. The water-dispersible blocked polyisocyanate is not particularly limited, and commercially available water-dispersible blocked polyisocyanates can be used. For example, WS50-30W (product name) and WM44L-70G (product name) manufactured by Asahi Kasei Corporation are preferably used as they possess the above-described characteristics.
[0071] As the water-dispersible block polyisocyanate, any one can be used without particular limitation as long as it is obtained by introducing a hydrophilic group by a conventionally known method. For example, a reaction product of a compound (m) represented by the general formula R 1 O(R 2 O) n -H (where R 1 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms or a group having two or more aromatic rings, and R 2 represents an alkylene group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms. n is an integer of 2 to 250), an isocyanate compound, and a blocking agent; a reaction product of a vinyl polymer having a hydrophilic group and a hydroxyl group, an isocyanate compound, and a blocking agent; a reaction product of an emulsifier obtained by reacting an alkoxypolyalkylene glycol with a dialkanolamine, an isocyanate compound, and a blocking agent, etc. can be mentioned. Among these, the reaction product of the compound (m), an isocyanate compound, and a blocking agent, and the reaction product of a vinyl polymer having a hydrophilic group and a hydroxyl group, an isocyanate compound, and a blocking agent are particularly preferable because of their excellent water dispersibility.
[0072] Examples of compound (m) include alkoxy polyalkylene glycols such as polymethylene glycol monomethyl ether, polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether, polyethylene glycol monoethyl ether, polyethylene glycol monopropyl ether, polyethylene glycol monolauryl ether, polyoxyethylene-oxypropylene (random and / or blocked) glycol monomethyl ether, and polyoxyethylene-oxytetramethylene (random and / or blocked) glycol polybutylene glycol monomethyl ether, as well as nonionic surfactants having two or more aromatic rings, such as a (mono-penta) styrene-modified phenyl group, a mono (or di,tri) styrene-methyl-phenyl group, a tribenzylphenyl group, and a β-naphthyl group. These compounds (m) can be used individually or in appropriate combinations of two or more. Among these, polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether and nonionic surfactants having a (mono-penta) styrene-modified phenyl group are preferred in terms of self-emulsifying ability and pot life. These compounds (m) preferably have a molecular weight in the range of 100 to 10000, and more preferably in the range of 300 to 5000.
[0073] Examples of hydrophilic groups in vinyl polymers having hydrophilic and hydroxyl groups include various known anionic groups, cationic groups, and nonionic groups, with nonionic groups being preferred. The nonionic group significantly extends the pot life of the water-based paint composition, and the particle size of the oil droplets of the blocked polyisocyanate becomes smaller, which tends to further improve the water resistance of the formed coating film. Specific examples of vinyl polymers having hydrophilic and hydroxyl groups include, for example, acrylic polymers, fluoroolefin polymers, vinyl ester polymers, aromatic vinyl polymers, and polyolefin polymers. Among these, acrylic polymers are preferred from the viewpoint of weather resistance of the resulting coating film. Polymerization methods for obtaining acrylic polymers suitable as vinyl polymers having hydrophilic and hydroxyl groups are not particularly limited, but examples include suspension polymerization, emulsion polymerization, or solution polymerization. Preferably, the acrylic polymer is obtained by solution polymerization of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer (i) having hydrophilic groups and an ethylenically unsaturated monomer (ii) having hydroxyl groups, and other ethylenically unsaturated monomers (iii) copolymerizable with these may also be used as needed.
[0074] Examples of hydrophilic ethylenically unsaturated monomers (i) include alkoxy polyalkylene glycol (meth)acrylates such as methoxypolyethylene glycol (meth)acrylate, ethoxypolyethylene glycol (meth)acrylate, and butoxypolyethylene glycol (meth)acrylate; polyalkylene glycol di(meth)acrylates such as polyethylene glycol di(meth)acrylate; (meth)acrylamide monomers; and anionic vinyl monomers. In addition, ethylenically unsaturated monomers that have both hydrophilic and hydroxyl groups in their molecules, such as polyalkylene glycol (meth)acrylates, can also be used. These may be used individually or in combination of two or more.
[0075] Other ethylenically unsaturated monomers (iii) copolymerizable with these include, for example, (meth)acrylic acid esters, aromatic vinyl compounds, vinyl cyanides, carbonyl group-containing vinyl monomers, olefins, dienes, haloolefins, vinyl ethers, and allyl esters. These may be used individually or in combination of two or more.
[0076] The vinyl polymer containing hydrophilic groups and hydroxyl groups preferably has a mass-average molecular weight (GPC method on a polystyrene basis) in the range of 2,000 to 100,000, and more preferably in the range of 3,000 to 50,000.
[0077] In a water-based paint composition, the content of block polyisocyanate relative to emulsion particles polymerized from a monomer containing a hydroxyl group-containing vinyl monomer is preferably such that the ratio of moles of hydroxyl groups in the emulsion particles to moles of isocyanate groups in the block polyisocyanate (X = moles of isocyanate groups / moles of hydroxyl groups) is 0.02 or higher. X is more preferably 0.1 or higher from the viewpoint of adhesion between the formed coating film and the substrate, and even more preferably 0.15 or higher from the viewpoint of abrasion resistance of the coating film. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of the stability of the water-based paint composition (resistance to gelation and high viscosity), X is preferably 10 or less, and more preferably 5 or less from the viewpoint of a low water contact angle and high transparency (low haze) of the formed coating film. The ratio (X) may be 0.02 to 10, 0.02 to 5, 0.1 to 10, 0.1 to 5, 0.15 to 10, or 0.15 to 5.
[0078] In one embodiment, the mass ratio of block polyisocyanate to emulsion particles and inorganic oxide (mass of block polyisocyanate / total mass of emulsion particles and inorganic oxide) is preferably 0.001 or higher, more preferably 0.01 or higher, and even more preferably 0.05 or higher from the viewpoint of adhesion. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of transparency, this mass ratio is preferably 1.0 or lower, more preferably 0.7 or lower, and even more preferably 0.5 or lower.
[0079] Commercially available water-dispersible block polyisocyanates can also be used. For example, WS50-30W (product name) and WM44L-70G (product name) manufactured by Asahi Kasei Corporation are preferred as they possess the characteristics described above.
[0080] The aforementioned blocked polyisocyanate may be partially or entirely reacted with a polyol to form a urethane compound.

[0087] [solvent] The water-based paint composition of this embodiment contains, as a solvent, water and a water-soluble organic solvent having a boiling point of 80°C to 140°C. A water-based paint composition refers to a state in which water is the most abundant component of the solvent in the paint composition. In a water-based paint composition, the amount of water is preferably 50% or more, more preferably 60% or more, and even more preferably 70% or more, based on 100% by mass of the solvent. Furthermore, the amount of water is preferably 95% or less, more preferably 90% or less, and even more preferably 85% or less, based on 100% by mass of the solvent. By setting the mass percentage of water in the solvent to above the lower limit, it tends to contribute to the stabilization of the mixture of emulsion particles and inorganic oxides, and / or the composite of said emulsion particles and inorganic oxides, as well as the blocked polyisocyanate in the water-based paint composition, while also reducing the environmental burden. Furthermore, by setting the mass percentage of water in the solvent to below the upper limit, it tends to contribute to the stabilization of the organic ultraviolet absorber and light stabilizer in the water-based paint composition.
[0088] The water-based paint composition of this embodiment may contain an organic solvent different from the water-soluble organic solvent with a boiling point of 80°C to 140°C, depending on its purpose and application, as long as it achieves the effects of the present invention. Such an organic solvent is preferably one that does not have functional groups that react with hydroxyl groups and isocyanate groups, and is preferably well compatible with the polyisocyanate composition. Such an organic solvent is not particularly limited, but may be any solvent commonly used as a paint solvent, such as ester compounds, ether compounds, ketone compounds, aromatic compounds, ethylene glycol dialkyl ether compounds, polyethylene glycol dicarboxylate compounds, and hydrocarbon solvents.
[0089] <Water-soluble organic solvents> The coating composition of this embodiment contains, as a solvent, water and a water-soluble organic solvent having a boiling point of 80°C to 140°C. The boiling point of the water-soluble organic solvent being within this range allows for proper stability of the water-based coating composition, which contains a mixture of hydrophilic emulsion particles and inorganic oxides, and / or a composite of said emulsion particles and inorganic oxides, as well as block polyisocyanate and hydrophobic organic ultraviolet absorbers and light stabilizers. Furthermore, when applied to a resin substrate such as polycarbonate, corrosion by the solvent in the water-based coating composition can be prevented.
[0090] The water-soluble organic solvent is not particularly limited as long as it has a boiling point within the above range and dissolves in water at a concentration of 10% or more. Examples of such water-soluble organic solvents include alcohol compounds, glycol ether compounds, ether compounds, ketone compounds, and nitrile compounds, which have a boiling point in the range of 80°C to 140°C and dissolve in water at a concentration of 10% or more.
[0091] Specific examples of alcohol compounds include, but are not limited to, isopropanol, 1-propanol, 2-butanol, 2-methyl-2-propanol, and 2-methyl-1-propanol. Specific examples of glycol ether compounds, though not particularly limited, include 2-methoxy-1-propanol, 1-methoxy-2-propanol, propylene glycol monomethyl ether, propylene glycol monoethyl ether, methyl cellosolve, ethyl cellosolve, and dimethyl cellosolve. Specific examples of ether compounds, though not limited to them, include 2-methyltetrahydrofuran and dioxane. Specific examples of ketone compounds, though not limited to them, include methyl propyl ketone and methyl isobutyl ketone. Specific examples of nitrile compounds, though not limited to them, include acetonitrile. These water-soluble organic solvents can be used individually or in appropriate combinations of two or more.
[0092] From the viewpoint of appropriately maintaining the stability of a mixture of hydrophilic emulsion particles and inorganic oxides, and / or a composite of said emulsion particles and inorganic oxides, as well as block polyisocyanates, and hydrophobic organic ultraviolet absorbers and light stabilizers in a water-based paint composition, it is necessary to maintain appropriate polarity in the mixed system of water and water-soluble organic solvents. For this reason, the solubility of the water-soluble organic solvent in water is preferably 15% or more, more preferably 20% or more, and even more preferably 50% or more.
[0093] From the viewpoint of reducing the environmental burden during solvent removal, it is preferable that the water-soluble organic solvent contains an alcohol compound, and it is even more preferable that it contains isopropanol, as this allows for a more favorable maintenance of appropriate polarity in the mixed system of water and the water-soluble organic solvent, and thus better maintains stability.
[0094] In a mixed system of water and a water-soluble organic solvent, the content of the water-soluble organic solvent is preferably 40% by mass or less, more preferably 35% by mass or less, and even more preferably 30% by mass or less, based on 100% by mass of the water-based paint composition, in order to maintain appropriate polarity more favorably and to further preserve stability.

In the composition set, it is preferable that composition A and / or composition B further contain a surfactant in order to further enhance paint stability. Details of each component in the composition set are as described above for each component included in the water-based paint composition.
[0108] The method of preparing composition A is not particularly limited, as long as it includes a mixture and / or complex, a blocked polyisocyanate, and water. Similarly, the method of preparing composition B is not particularly limited, as long as it includes an organic ultraviolet absorber, a light stabilizer, and a water-soluble organic solvent.
[0109] In this embodiment, it is preferable to prepare composition A and composition B in advance, and then mix compositions A and B to prepare a water-based paint composition.

In this manufacturing method, it is preferable to include a step of adding composition B to composition A while composition A is being stirred, as described above.
[0114] [Adhesive layer] The adhesive layer in this embodiment can be obtained, for example, by applying the water-based paint composition of this embodiment to a substrate and forming a coating film through heat treatment, ultraviolet irradiation, and infrared irradiation.
[0115] The coating method is not particularly limited, but examples include spray coating, flow coating, brush coating, dip coating, spin coating, screen printing, casting, gravure printing, and flexographic printing. After coating, the water-based paint composition is formed into a coating film by heat treatment at preferably 80 to 250°C, more preferably 90 to 150°C, or by infrared irradiation. By performing heat treatment or infrared irradiation, the deblocking of the blocked polyisocyanate contained in the water-based paint composition progresses, and the hydroxyl groups contained in the emulsion particles react with the isocyanate groups to form urethane bonds, which tends to improve coating adhesion and coating strength. Furthermore, this coating can be applied not only to already molded substrates, but also to flat plates before molding, such as pre-coated metals including rust-resistant steel plates.
[0116] From the viewpoint of adhesion, the thickness of the adhesive layer is preferably 0.1 μm or more, more preferably 0.3 μm or more, and from the viewpoint of transparency, it is preferably 100.0 μm or less, more preferably 50.0 μm or less.
[0117] [Substrate with adhesive layer] The adhesive-coated substrate of this embodiment comprises a substrate and an adhesive layer disposed on the substrate, wherein the adhesive layer contains a cured product of the water-based coating composition of this embodiment. The adhesive layer is obtained by coating the substrate with the water-based coating composition and curing it. In this embodiment, the adhesive layer is disposed on one and / or both sides of the substrate.
[0118] [Base material] The substrate in this embodiment is not particularly limited, but examples include resins, metals, and glass. The shape of the substrate is not particularly limited, but examples include plate-like shapes, shapes with irregularities, shapes with curved surfaces, hollow shapes, porous shapes, and combinations thereof. The type of substrate is also not limited, but examples include sheets, films, and fibers. Among these, resins are preferred from the viewpoint of imparting hard coating properties and moldability. The resin is not particularly limited, but examples include thermoplastic resins and thermosetting resins.

[0119] [Laminated structure] The laminate of this embodiment comprises a substrate with an adhesive layer of this embodiment and a hard coat layer disposed on the adhesive layer of the substrate, wherein the hard coat layer comprises polymer nanoparticles and a matrix component, the matrix component comprising an inorganic oxide, and the Martens hardness of the polymer nanoparticles is HM GAnd the Martens hardness HM of the matrix component. H HM H / HM G The relationship >1 is satisfied. In the laminate, it is preferable that the haze value H1 of the substrate with the adhesive layer is greater than the haze value H2 of the laminate. Because the laminate of this embodiment is configured in this way, it has high abrasion resistance, adhesion, and optical properties. Furthermore, by satisfying this relationship, a scattering layer is formed at the interface between the substrate with the adhesive layer and the hard coat layer of the laminate of this embodiment, resulting in the suppression of interference fringe generation and further improvement of optical properties.
[0120] In this embodiment, from the viewpoint of adhesion, the ratio of the haze value H1 of the substrate with the adhesive layer to the haze value H2 of the laminate (H1 / H2) is preferably 2 or more, more preferably 5 or more, even more preferably 10 or more, and particularly preferably 20 or more.
[0121] In this embodiment, from the viewpoint of transparency, the haze value H1 of the substrate with adhesive layer is preferably 60% or less, more preferably 50% or less, and even more preferably 30% or less. From a similar viewpoint, the haze value H2 of the laminate is preferably 5% or less, more preferably 2% or less, and even more preferably 1% or less. Methods for adjusting each haze value to within the above ranges are not particularly limited, but for example, for H1, methods include controlling the particle size of emulsion particles, the particle size and shape of inorganic oxides, the mass ratio of emulsion particles to inorganic oxides, the content of block polyisocyanate, and the content of other additives. For H2, methods include controlling the particle size of polymer nanoparticles (A), the component ratio of polymer nanoparticles (A) to matrix components (B), the content of inorganic oxides (D) in the matrix components (B), and the content of light-shielding agents contained in the hard coat layer. In particular, increasing the amount of inorganic oxides or inorganic oxides (D) tends to increase each haze value, and decreasing them tends to decrease them. Each haze value can be measured by the method described in the examples below. Note that haze value H1 can be measured on the substrate with the adhesive layer, and haze value H2 can be measured on the laminate (substrate with adhesive layer and hard coat layer). Haze values H1 and H2 may also be measured after the substrate with the adhesive layer and the laminate have been formed, respectively.
[0122] Because the laminate of this embodiment is constructed in this manner, it has high abrasion resistance, adhesion, and optical properties. The laminate of this embodiment exhibits high levels of abrasion resistance, adhesion, and optical properties, and is therefore not particularly limited, but is useful as a hard coat for building materials, automotive components, electronic equipment, and electrical products, and is particularly preferred for use in automotive components.
[0123] [Hard coat layer] In this embodiment, the hard coat layer (hereinafter also referred to as "layer (C)") is disposed on the adhesive layer of the substrate with the adhesive layer and contains polymer nanoparticles (A) and a matrix component (B) containing an inorganic oxide. The hard coat layer contributes to the durability of the laminate. In this specification, the Martens hardness HM is 100 N / mm². 2 The layer described above is specifically referred to as the "hard coat layer." In this embodiment, the inorganic oxide contained in the matrix component (B) or the matrix raw material component (B') is also referred to as "inorganic oxide (D)." Inorganic oxide (D) may be the same as or different from the inorganic oxide (I) described above.
[0124] In this embodiment, from the viewpoint of wear resistance, the hard coat layer comprises polymer nanoparticles (A) dispersed in a matrix component (B), and the Martens hardness HM of the polymer nanoparticles (A) G And the Martens hardness HM of the matrix component (B) H HM H / HM G The relationship >1 is satisfied. The Martens hardness HM of the hard coat layer is 100 N / mm². 2 It is preferable that the above conditions are met. Note: Martens hardness HM Gand Martens hardness HM H Even when it is difficult to determine the relative magnitudes of the two components, the relative magnitudes of the Martens hardness can be estimated by comparing the adhesive strengths of the polymer nanoparticles (A) and the matrix component (B). A lower adhesive strength indicates higher elasticity; therefore, a lower adhesive strength means the coating film is less prone to deformation and has higher hardness. Specifically, the preferred layer (C) can also be identified as follows: The preferred layer (C) comprises polymer nanoparticles (A) and a matrix component (B), and the adhesive strength F of the polymer nanoparticles (A) is measured using the adhesive strength mode of a scanning probe microscope (SPM). A And the adhesion force F of the matrix component (B) B F A / F B The relationship >1 is satisfied, and the Martens hardness HM of the hard coat layer is 100 N / mm 2 That's all.
[0125] In layer (C) of this embodiment, it is preferable that the polymer nanoparticles (A) are dispersed in the matrix component (B). In this embodiment, "dispersion" means that the polymer nanoparticles (A) are distributed uniformly or while forming a structure within the matrix component (B), with the polymer nanoparticles (A) acting as the dispersed phase and the matrix component (B) as the continuous phase. The dispersion can be confirmed by cross-sectional SEM observation of the hard coat layer. In the hard coat layer of this embodiment, the dispersion of polymer nanoparticles (A) in the matrix component (B) tends to result in high wear resistance.
[0126] [Martens hardness] In this embodiment, the Martens hardness is a hardness value compliant with ISO 14577-1, and is calculated from the indentation depth at 2 mN under the measurement conditions (Vickers square pyramidal diamond indenter, load increase condition 2 mN / 20 sec, load decrease condition 2 mN / 20 sec). In this embodiment, the Martens hardness can be measured using, for example, a microhardness tester Fischerscope (HM2000S manufactured by Fischer Instruments), an ultra-micro indentation hardness tester (ENT-NEXUS manufactured by Elionix Co., Ltd.), a nanoindenter (iNano, G200 manufactured by Toyo Technica Co., Ltd.), or a nanoindentation system (TI980 manufactured by Bruker). The shallower the indentation depth, the higher the Martens hardness, and the deeper the indentation depth, the lower the Martens hardness.
[0127] [Adhesion] In this embodiment, the adhesion force can be measured with a scanning probe microscope (SPM). Lower adhesion force indicates higher elasticity; therefore, a lower adhesion force results in a less deformable coating and higher hardness. The method for measuring the adhesion force is not particularly limited, but it can be measured using, for example, the Shimadzu SPM-970, SPM-9700HT, Bruker AXS Dimension ICON, and Hitachi High-Tech Science AFM5000II.
[0128] [Other hardness levels] In this embodiment, the relative magnitudes of Martens hardness and adhesive force can also be estimated by confirming the relative magnitudes of measurements using other hardness indicators. These other hardness indicators are not particularly limited, as they indicate the resistance of the material to deformation when force is applied. Examples of such other hardness indicators include Vickers hardness or indentation hardness measured by indentation testers such as microhardness testers and nanoindentation testers, or indicators expressed as logarithmic decay rate measured by pendulum-type viscoelasticity testers such as rigid pendulum-type physical property testers. Other indicators that can be measured by scanning probe microscopes (SPM) and expressed as phase, frictional force, viscoelasticity, adsorption force, hardness, and elastic modulus can also be cited. If it is confirmed that the hardness of the matrix component (B) is higher than that of the polymer nanoparticles (A) in these indicators, then it can be estimated that the matrix component (B) is harder than the polymer nanoparticles (A) in terms of Martens hardness and adhesive force.
[0129] [Martens hardness HM of polymer nanoparticles (A)] G and the Martens hardness HM of the matrix component (B) H ] Martens hardness HM of polymer nanoparticle (A) in this embodiment G And the Martens hardness HM of the matrix component (B) H Preferably, the following relationship (1) is satisfied.
[0130] HM H / HM G >1 formula (1)
[0131] Equation (1) shows that flexible polymer nanoparticles (A) are present within a rigid matrix component (B). This three-dimensional gradient of hardness allows layer (C) to exhibit abrasion resistance not found in conventional coatings. While not limited to this explanation, it is presumed that this is because the flexible nanoparticles absorb impact, while the rigid matrix component suppresses deformation. HM G In terms of impact absorption, the range is 50 N / mm². 2The above is preferable, 100 N / mm 2 The above is more preferable, and from the viewpoint of film formation properties, 2000 N / mm 2 The following is preferable: 800 N / mm 2 The following is more preferable: 350 N / mm 2 The following is even more preferable: HM H From the perspective of shock absorption, the range is 100 N / mm 2 The above is preferable, 150 N / mm 2 The above is more preferable, and from the viewpoint of film formation properties, 4000 N / mm 2 The following is preferable, 2000 N / mm 2 The following are preferable. Layer (C) can be obtained as a cured product by curing the hard coat layer composition described later by hydrolysis condensation or the like. The composition of polymer nanoparticles (A) usually does not change during this curing process. Therefore, the Martens hardness HM of polymer nanoparticles (A) in the hard coat layer composition, as measured by the method described in the examples below, is... G The value of HM represents the Martens hardness of the polymer nanoparticles (A) in layer (C). G As something that closely matches, the Martens hardness HM in layer (C) G The value can be determined. Furthermore, matrix component (B) corresponds to a cured product obtained by hardening the matrix raw material component (B'), described later, by hydrolysis condensation or the like. Therefore, the Martens hardness HM of the matrix raw material component (B') measured by the method described in the examples below is H' The value of is the Martens hardness HM of the corresponding matrix component (B). H A good match is the Martens hardness HM. H The value can be determined. The above HM G and HM H The values of can be adjusted to achieve the aforementioned magnitude relationship based on the structure and composition ratio of the polymer nanoparticles (A) and the matrix raw material components (B') described later, but the method is not limited to this approach.
[0132] [Adhesion force F of polymer nanoparticles (A)]A The adhesion force F of the matrix component (B) B ] Adhesion force F of polymer nanoparticles (A) in this embodiment A And the adhesion force F of the matrix component (B) B Preferably, the following relationship (2) is satisfied.
[0133] F A / F B >1 Formula (2)
[0134] Similar to equation (1) above, equation (2) also indicates that flexible polymer nanoparticles (A) are present within a rigid matrix component (B). This three-dimensional gradient of hardness allows layer (C) to exhibit abrasion resistance not found in conventional coatings. While not intended to be a limiting factor, it is presumed that the flexible nanoparticles absorb impact, while the rigid matrix component suppresses deformation. As described above, the adhesion force F of polymer nanoparticles (A) A and the adhesion force F of the matrix component (B) B This correlates with the hardness of each component, and the relationship between magnitudes can be adjusted to the aforementioned magnitudes by the structure and composition ratio of the polymer nanoparticles (A) and the matrix raw material components (B') described later, but this method is not the only way to achieve this.
[0135] [Martens hardness HM of layer (C)] The Martens hardness HM of layer (C) is 100 N / mm² from the perspective of wear resistance. 2 The above explains why a higher value is advantageous in that it results in less deformation and less damage accompanied by fracture when subjected to impact. The Martens hardness HM of layer (C) is preferably 100 N / mm². 2 The above, and more preferably 150 N / mm 2 The above is true, and more preferably 200 N / mm 2 The above is the most common rating, and from the viewpoint of bending resistance, a rating of 4000 N / mm is preferred. 2 More preferably, 2000 N / mm 2 More preferably, 1500 N / mm 2The following applies. There are no particular limitations on the method for adjusting the Martens hardness HM of layer (C) to within the above range, but for example, a coating composition obtained by dispersing and dissolving a composition of polymer nanoparticles (A) and a matrix raw material component (B') described later, which satisfies a predetermined relationship represented by formula (3) described later, in a solvent, is applied to a substrate and then formed into a coating film by heat treatment, ultraviolet irradiation, infrared irradiation, etc. In particular, increasing the content of matrix component (B) relative to the total amount of polymer nanoparticles (A) and matrix component (B) tends to increase the Martens hardness HM of layer (C), and decreasing the content of matrix component (B) tends to decrease the Martens hardness HM of layer (C).
[0136] [Change in haze in the Taber abrasion test] The Taber wear test in this embodiment is based on the method described in ASTM D1044, and the measurement is performed using a wear wheel CS-10F under a load of 500g. The smaller the haze change, the better the wear resistance of the material. If the haze change after 500 rotations compared to the haze before the test, i.e., the difference between the haze after 500 rotations and the haze before the Taber wear test, is 10 or less, it conforms to the ECE R43 standard for rear quarter glass, and if it is 4 or less, it conforms to the ANSI / SAE Z.26.1 standard and is suitable for use as an automotive window material. Furthermore, if the haze change amount at 1000 revolutions, that is, the difference between the haze at 1000 revolutions and the haze before the Taber abrasion test, is 10 or less, it conforms to the standards for automobile windows and can be suitably used as an automobile window material. If it is 2 or less, it conforms to the standards of ANSI / SAE Z.26.1, ECE R43, and JIS R3211 / R3212 and can be suitably used for all automobile window materials. A haze change amount at 1000 revolutions of 10 or less is preferable, 6 or less is more preferable, and 2 or less is even more preferable. There are no particular limitations on the method for adjusting the haze change amount to the above range, but for example, a paint composition obtained by dispersing and dissolving a composition of polymer nanoparticles (A) and a matrix raw material component (B') described later, which satisfy a predetermined relationship represented by formula (3) described later, in a solvent, is applied to a substrate and a coating film is formed by heat treatment, ultraviolet irradiation, infrared irradiation, etc.

IT The higher the elastic recovery rate η, the more likely the coating film is to return to its original state after deformation, indicating a high self-healing capacity against deformation. From the perspective of effectively exhibiting self-healing capacity, the elastic recovery rate η ITThe elastic recovery rate η is preferably 0.50 or higher under the measurement conditions (Vickers square pyramidal diamond indenter, load increase condition 2mN / 20sec, load decrease condition 2mN / 20sec), and within this range, a larger value is preferable. More specifically, the elastic recovery rate η IT It is more preferable that the value is 0.55 or higher, even more preferable that it is 0.60 or higher, and even more preferable that it is 0.65 or higher. The measurement of the elastic recovery rate of the coating film in this embodiment is not particularly limited, but for example, it can be measured by performing an indentation test on the surface of the hard coat layer using a microhardness tester Fischerscope (HM2000S manufactured by Fischer Instruments), an ultra-micro indentation hardness tester (ENT-NEXUS manufactured by Elionix Co., Ltd.), a nanoindenter (iNano, G200 manufactured by Toyo Technica Co., Ltd.), a nanoindentation system (TI980 manufactured by Bruker), etc. Elastic recovery rate η IT Methods for adjusting the above range are not particularly limited, but include, for example, dispersing and dissolving a paint composition in a solvent, which is a mixture of polymer nanoparticles (A) and a matrix raw material component (B') described later that satisfies a predetermined relationship represented by formula (3) described later, onto a substrate, and forming a coating film by heat treatment, ultraviolet irradiation, infrared irradiation, etc.
[0138] [Thickness of layer (C)] In this embodiment, it is preferable to appropriately adjust the film thickness from the viewpoint of further exhibiting the wear resistance of the hard coat layer and ensuring sufficient conformability to the deformation of the substrate.

Furthermore, the film thickness of layer (C) is preferably 100.0 μm or less, more preferably 50.0 μm or less, and even more preferably 20.0 μm or less, from the viewpoint of substrate conformability.
[0139] [convolutional nanoparticles (A)] By using the polymer nanoparticles (A) in this embodiment, shock absorption properties can be imparted to the hard coat layer, and the amount of haze change in the Taber abrasion test of the hard coat layer tends to be reduced. The shape of the polymer nanoparticles (A) is not particularly limited as long as the particle size is on the order of nanometers (less than 1 μm). Note that the Martens hardness of the polymer nanoparticles (A) is HM G This can be controlled within the aforementioned range by the structure and composition ratio of the constituent components of the polymer nanoparticles (A), but is not limited to this method.

The polymer nanoparticles (A) preferably have the functional group (e) described above also from the viewpoint of the interaction with the matrix raw material component (B’) in the outermost layer of the core / shell structure. That the polymer nanoparticles (A) have a core / shell structure can be confirmed, for example, by a transmission electron microscope image of the coating film cross-section or the like.

The wetting agents and film formation aids are not particularly limited, but for example, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, diethylene glycol diethyl ether, diethylene glycol dibutyl ether, ethylene glycol mono-2-ethylhexyl ether, 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-butanediol isobutyrate, diisopropyl glutarate, propylene glycol-n-butyl ether, dipropylene glycol-n-butyl ether, tripropylene glycol-n-butyl ether, dipropylene glycol methyl Examples include methyl ether, tripropylene glycol methyl ether, Megafac® F-443, F-444, F-445, F-470, F-471, F-472SF, F-474, F-475, F-477, F-479, F-480SF, F-482, F-483, F-489, F-172D, and F-178K (all trade names, manufactured by DIC Corporation), SN Wet 366, SN Wet 980, SN Wet L, SN Wet S, SN Wet 125, SN Wet 126, and SN Wet 970 (all trade names, manufactured by Sunopco Corporation).

[0216] [catalyst] The hard coat layer composition may contain a catalyst as a matrix raw material component (B'). When the hard coat layer composition contains a catalyst that promotes the reaction between reactive groups, it is preferable because unreactive groups are less likely to remain in the coating film, resulting in higher hardness, improved abrasion resistance, and improved weather resistance. The catalyst is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that it dissolves or disperses when obtaining the hard coat layer coating film. Examples of such catalysts, though not particularly limited, include organic acids, inorganic acids, organic bases, inorganic bases, metal alkoxides, and metal chelates.

[0218] <Method for manufacturing the hard coat layer> The method for producing the hard coat layer in this embodiment is not particularly limited, but for example, it can be obtained by dispersing and dissolving polymer nanoparticles (A), matrix raw material components (B'), inorganic oxides (D), and other components as appropriate in a solvent to create a hard coat layer composition, coating the substrate with this composition, and then forming a coating film by heat treatment, ultraviolet irradiation, infrared irradiation, etc. Furthermore, the coating method is not particularly limited, but examples include spray coating, flow coating, brush coating, dip coating, spin coating, screen printing, casting, gravure printing, and flexographic printing. After coating, the hard coat layer composition is preferably formed into a coating film by heat treatment at room temperature to 250°C, more preferably 40°C to 150°C, or by ultraviolet or infrared irradiation. Furthermore, this coating can be applied not only to already molded substrates, but also to pre-coated flat plates before molding, such as pre-coated metals including rust-resistant steel plates.
[0219] [Surface treatment of the hard coat layer] In this embodiment, the hard coat layer may be formed by silica processing the surface for weather resistance. While not particularly limited, methods for forming the silica layer include, for example, silica processing by PECVD (plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition) to vapor-deposit / cur a silicone or silazane, and silica processing techniques that modify the surface to silica by 155 nm ultraviolet irradiation. Surface processing by PECVD is particularly preferred because it allows for the creation of a layer that is impermeable to oxygen and water vapor without degrading the surface. While not particularly limited, examples of silicones or silazanes that can be used in PECVD include octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane, decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, hexamethyldisiloxane, vinylmethrixylane, vinylmethoxysilane, dimethyldimethoxysilane, TEOS (tetraethoxysilane), tetramethyldisiloxane, tetramethyltetravinylcyclotetrasiloxane, and hexamethyldisilazane. One or more of these may be used in combination.

[0221] <Applications of laminates> The laminate of this embodiment has excellent abrasion resistance and durability. Therefore, applications for the hard coat coating and the substrate with the hard coat coating include, for example, building materials, vehicle components, electronic equipment, and electrical products.
[0222] While not particularly limited, examples of building material applications include windows for construction machinery, windows for buildings, houses, and greenhouses, roofs for garages and arcades, lighting fixtures such as lights and traffic signals, wallpaper, signs, sanitary products such as bathtubs and washbasins, exterior wall materials for kitchens, flooring materials, cork, tiles, cushion flooring, and interior flooring materials such as linoleum.

Specific examples include various types of glass such as front, rear, front doors, rear doors, rear quarter windows, and sunroofs; exterior components such as front and rear bumpers, spoilers, door mirrors, front grilles, emblem covers, and bodywork; interior components such as center panels, door panels, instrument panels, and center consoles; components for lamps such as headlamps and taillights; lens components for on-board cameras; lighting covers; decorative films; and various glass substitute components.
