Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an ultraviolet absorber, particularly one that is highly resistant to light and heat, and more specifically, to an ultraviolet absorber that is highly resistant to light and heat, i.e., durable. [Background technology]

[0002] Resin components deteriorate due to the action of ultraviolet rays, causing quality degradation such as discoloration and a decrease in mechanical strength, which hinders long-term use. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of reducing health risks such as sunburn and eye tissue damage, and from the viewpoint of imparting optical functions, various methods of incorporating ultraviolet absorbers into organic and inorganic components to block and absorb ultraviolet rays have been investigated (Patent Document 1).

[0003] In recent years, in order to further enhance the effects of suppressing quality degradation in materials and preventing health hazards, there has been a demand for UV absorbers that efficiently absorb light in the longer wavelength range (380-400 nm) while suppressing the absorption of visible light with wavelengths longer than 400 nm (~500 nm), thereby suppressing yellowing of the added material and maintaining a good initial appearance. However, conventional benzotriazole derivatives, for example, require a large amount of additive to sufficiently absorb light in the longer wavelength range (380-400 nm) because their absorption efficiency in that wavelength range is low. Furthermore, due to their optical properties, they also absorb a large amount of light with wavelengths longer than 400 nm, leading to the problem of yellowing of the added material.

[0004] The present inventors have proposed a 2-phenylbenzotriazole derivative having a sulfur-containing group as an ultraviolet absorber that efficiently and sufficiently absorbs harmful light up to 380-400 nm and suppresses the absorption of light with wavelengths above 400 nm, which is a cause of initial yellowing (Patent Documents 2 and 3). Due to its optical properties, this ultraviolet absorber can sufficiently absorb light in the wavelength range of 250-400 nm, and moreover, it has a high ultraviolet absorption effect (molar extinction coefficient), so it can efficiently absorb light of that wavelength with only a small amount added. Furthermore, the slope of the absorption peak at 350-390 nm is greater than that of conventional ultraviolet absorbers, so it can suppress the absorption of light with wavelengths above 400 nm and suppress the initial yellowing of the compounded material.

[0005] On the one hand, UV absorbers are desired to have excellent affinity with organic and inorganic materials, in addition to their optical properties at absorption wavelengths, and to be effective in maintaining the appearance of organic and inorganic materials, without the UV absorber bleeding out of organic and inorganic material compositions containing the UV absorber. Furthermore, UV absorbers are required to have improved light resistance so that prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light does not impede long-term use, such as by deterioration of properties such as light absorption capacity. On the other hand, they are also required to have excellent heat resistance, such as not experiencing discoloration, weight loss, or a decrease in light absorption capacity due to thermal decomposition when exposed to high-temperature environments at constant temperatures for extended periods during manufacturing processes such as molding and drying of resin materials, or during actual use. Considering the period from manufacturing to use, highly durable UV absorbers with excellent light resistance and heat resistance are desired. Moreover, UV absorbers are desired for organic and inorganic material compositions containing UV absorbers that exhibit not only excellent light resistance but also excellent heat resistance, such as not experiencing discoloration, a decrease in UV absorption capacity, or a decrease in transparency over long periods of use.

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2009-184882 [Patent Document 2] International Publication No. 2016 / 021664 [Patent Document 3] International Publication No. 2016 / 174788 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0007] Patent documents 2 and 3 primarily focus on solving the problems of sufficiently and efficiently absorbing light at wavelengths up to 380-400 nm and suppressing initial yellowing, using alkyl groups as the basic skeleton as sulfur-containing groups. However, the light resistance and durability, including heat resistance, of 2-phenylbenzotriazole derivatives having thioaryl or thiocyclohexyl ring groups have not been investigated at all.

[0008] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and aims to provide an ultraviolet absorber that efficiently absorbs harmful light in the wavelength range of 380 to 400 nm, suppresses the absorption of light with wavelengths above 400 nm which is a cause of initial yellowing, thereby reducing the effects of harmful light, and allows for the creation of a component with good affinity to organic materials, inorganic materials such as glass, and excellent appearance, as well as excellent light resistance and heat resistance, and furthermore, provides an ultraviolet absorber with excellent light resistance and heat resistance, i.e., durability. The present invention aims to provide an organic material composition containing an ultraviolet absorber in which the ultraviolet absorber does not bleed out, has excellent affinity to the ultraviolet absorber, has excellent appearance retention, and in particular, when the appearance is transparent, it can be a composition that suppresses yellowing and has excellent transparency retention. Furthermore, the present invention aims to provide an ultraviolet absorber that is an organic material composition in which discoloration, a decrease in ultraviolet absorption capacity, and a decrease in transparency do not occur over a long period of use, and is otherwise an organic material composition with excellent light resistance and heat resistance, i.e., durability.

[Effect of the Invention]

[0048] The ultraviolet absorber of the present invention efficiently absorbs harmful light in the wavelength range of 380 to 400 nm and suppresses the absorption of light with wavelengths above 400 nm, which is a cause of initial yellowing. This reduces the effects of harmful light, and allows for the creation of components with good affinity to organic materials and inorganic materials such as glass, resulting in a superior appearance. Furthermore, by introducing an aryl group via a thioether group to the 2-phenylbenzotriazole skeleton, the ultraviolet absorber of the present invention stabilizes the π-electron conjugated system or the intermolecular interactions of the hydrocarbon group introduced to the aryl group, resulting in excellent light resistance and heat resistance, and furthermore, excellent durability. An organic material composition containing the ultraviolet absorber does not allow the ultraviolet absorber to bleed out, has excellent affinity to the ultraviolet absorber, and maintains its appearance well. In particular, when the appearance is transparent, it can be a composition that suppresses yellowing and maintains its transparency well. Moreover, due to the above physical properties of the ultraviolet absorber and the prevention of degradation of organic materials, it exhibits excellent light resistance and heat resistance, i.e., durability, without discoloration, decrease in ultraviolet absorption capacity, or decrease in transparency over a long period of use. Furthermore, the ultraviolet absorber of the present invention can be in the form of such an organic material composition. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0085] (UV absorber) The ultraviolet absorber of the present invention, which has a thioaryl ring group introduced to benzotriazole, is described in Patent Document 2 (International Publication No. 2016 / 021664). It exhibits excellent absorption of long-wavelength ultraviolet light and molar extinction coefficient, and materials using it can suppress discoloration to yellow. Furthermore, the ultraviolet absorber of the present invention has high light resistance, and the change in transmittance (difference in transmittance) due to the degradation (decomposition) of the ultraviolet absorber over a long period of time is small, making it possible to maintain the absorption effect of ultraviolet light up to the long-wavelength region. In a preferred embodiment of the highly light-resistant ultraviolet absorber of the present invention, after irradiating a material with ultraviolet light at a wavelength of 300-400 nm for 70 hours under the following measurement conditions, the difference in transmittance at any of the wavelengths of 380, 390, and 400 nm in the long-wavelength region is 6% or less. Among these, the more highly light-resistant ultraviolet absorber has a difference in transmittance of 6% or less at any of the wavelengths of 380, 390, and 400 nm, more preferably 4% or less for all of them, and even more preferably 2% or less for all of them. Furthermore, it has high heat resistance, and when adding the UV absorber to organic and inorganic materials, when heating and processing the added organic and inorganic materials, or when actually using these materials under high-temperature conditions, it is possible to suppress the reduction of the UV absorption effect due to thermal decomposition, discoloration, etc. In a preferred embodiment of the heat-resistant UV absorber of the present invention, it is preferable that it does not discolor when heated at 120°C for 48 hours, more preferably that it does not discolor when heated at 160°C for 6 hours, even more preferably that it does not discolor when heated at 160°C for 12 hours, and particularly preferably that it does not discolor when heated at 160°C for 24 hours. And / or, the weight change rate due to thermal decomposition of the ultraviolet absorber under a heating environment for a long period of time (constant temperature) is preferably less than 0.03% by weight after heating at 120°C for 48 hours, more preferably less than 0.20% by weight after heating at 160°C for 6 hours, even more preferably less than 0.08% by weight after heating at 160°C for 12 hours, and particularly preferably less than 0.04% by weight after heating at 160°C for 24 hours.

[0086] Furthermore, the ultraviolet absorber of the present invention possesses both heat resistance and the aforementioned light resistance, resulting in high durability from manufacturing to use, and excellent ultraviolet absorption and discoloration resistance. In a preferred embodiment of the durable ultraviolet absorber of the present invention, both the preferred embodiments of high light resistance and heat resistance are satisfied.

[0087] Furthermore, the UV absorber of the present invention is excellent in terms of heat resistance, light resistance, and affinity between the UV absorber and organic and inorganic materials when used incorporated into organic and inorganic materials, contributing to the preservation of the UV absorption capacity, discoloration resistance, and excellent appearance of organic and inorganic materials. In particular, when resin is used as the organic material, the UV absorber is excellent in that it suppresses the degradation of the resin without bleeding out, and when glass is used as the inorganic material, the UV absorber is excellent in that it preserves the UV absorption capacity of the glass. <Measurement conditions for the difference in transmittance (ΔTuv)> Samples of soda glass coated with acrylic resin and UV absorber in a mass ratio of 0.6-3.4:0.1 and with a film thickness of 2-50 μm were tested at a wavelength of 300-400 nm and an illuminance of 42 W / m². 2 Under conditions of a black panel temperature of 63°C, ultraviolet light is irradiated for 70 and 140 hours, and the transmittance of the ultraviolet-visible transmission spectrum before irradiation (T1uv) and after irradiation (T2uv) is calculated using the following formula.

[0093] On the other hand, in equation (3), ·q=1, A 2c It is more preferable that the group is a sulfide group, and after 70 hours of irradiation, the difference in transmittance at any of the wavelengths of 380, 390, and 400 nm is 2.0 or less. ·q=1, A 2c The carbon atom preferably has 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and after 70 hours of irradiation, the difference in transmittance at any of the wavelengths 380, 390, and 400 nm is 2.0 or less, and after 140 hours of irradiation, the difference in transmittance at any of the wavelengths 380, 390, and 400 nm is 4.0 or less. It is preferable that q=0, and after 70 hours of irradiation, the difference in transmittance for all wavelengths of 380, 390, and 400 nm is 6.0 or less.

[0094] Generally, when UV absorbers are added to resins as components, low-melting-point compounds bleed out quickly over time. On the other hand, during processing and molding of inorganic materials such as thermoplastic resins and glass by heating, they bleed out or decompose, preventing them from fully exhibiting their UV absorption effect, or causing blocking. Furthermore, when UV absorbers are crushed (micronized) and dispersed for use, low-melting-point UV absorbers agglomerate due to the heat generated in the process, making them difficult to use. Higher melting points are preferable, and combining them with light resistance allows for the maintenance of light absorption characteristics. From these viewpoints, the melting point of the highly light-resistant UV absorber of the present invention is preferably 100°C or higher, more preferably 130°C or higher, even more preferably 140°C or higher, particularly preferably 145°C or higher, and especially preferably 150°C or higher. In terms of melting point, X in formula (1) 1a A naphthyl ring is preferred. 1a If R is a phenyl ring residue, 1a A hydroxyl group is preferred, R 1a When l=1 is a linear or branched alkyl group, l=1 is preferred over l=0. When l=1, the alkyl group preferably has 2 to 8 carbon atoms, more preferably 3 to 8 carbon atoms, and even more preferably 3 to 4 carbon atoms. In formula (3), when q=1, A 2c A hydrocarbon group (preferably a linear or branched alkylene group) is preferred. Furthermore, q=0 is preferred.

[0095] As described above, when UV absorbers are added to organic or inorganic materials, when these materials are heated and processed, or when they are used under high-temperature conditions, the UV absorbers decompose. This not only prevents them from fully absorbing UV rays, but also causes discoloration of the materials containing the UV absorbers due to the thermal decomposition of the UV absorbers. Therefore, UV absorbers must be heat-resistant, and it is desirable that they exhibit minimal discoloration and weight loss due to thermal decomposition when heated. Under prolonged heating (at a constant temperature for a certain period of time) conditions (manufacturing, use), the thermal decomposition of UV absorbers results in weight loss and discoloration, and the less discoloration there is, the smaller the weight change.

[0096] From the standpoint of discoloration, it is desirable that the degree of discoloration is small when exposed to higher temperatures and longer periods of heating. For example, yellow is preferred over black, pale yellow is more preferred, and no discoloration at all is even more preferable.

[0097] As described above, the UV absorber of the present invention has excellent light resistance, heat resistance, and durability. When used in a resin as an organic material, it can prevent the deterioration of the resin composition and maintain the UV absorption capacity and appearance of the resin composition for a long period of time.

[0098] For example, as an indicator of discoloration of an ultraviolet absorber left in a constant temperature environment for a certain period of time in a constant temperature oven, it is preferable that there is no discoloration after 48 hours at 120°C, more preferably after 6 hours at 160°C, even more preferably after 12 hours at 160°C, and especially preferably after 24 hours at 160°C.

[0099] From the standpoint of weight loss rate, it is desirable that the weight loss rate be small when subjected to heating at higher temperatures for longer periods. For example, a weight loss rate of less than 0.20% by weight is preferred, less than 0.08% by weight is more preferred, less than 0.04% by weight is even more preferred, and less than 0.03% by weight is particularly preferred.

[0100] For example, as an indicator of the weight change rate due to thermal decomposition of an ultraviolet absorber left standing in a constant temperature environment for a certain period of time in a constant temperature oven, it is preferable that the weight change rate is less than 0.03% by weight after heating at 120°C for 48 hours, more preferably less than 0.20% by weight after heating at 160°C for 6 hours, even more preferably less than 0.08% by weight after heating at 160°C for 12 hours, and particularly preferably less than 0.04% by weight after heating at 160°C for 24 hours.

[0101] In terms of heat resistance under prolonged heating conditions (constant temperature for a constant period), UV absorbers that meet the above-mentioned indicators of discoloration or weight change rate are desirable, and those that meet a combination of both indicators are even more desirable.

[0102] From the viewpoint of heat resistance, the structure of the ultraviolet absorber of the present invention is X of formulas (1), (3), and (4). 1a , X 1c, X 2c , X 1d , X 2d The compound is preferably a residue of a phenyl ring, and X is of formulas (1), (3), and (4). 1a , X 1c , X 2c , X 1d , X 2d R is a phenyl ring residue, with l, n, p, r, and s R groups. 1a , R 1c , R 2c , R 1d , R 2d Compounds in which each is independently a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms (preferably 1 to 10 carbon atoms), and l, n, p, r, and s are integers from 0 to 3, are more preferably the l, n, p, r, and s of formulas (1), (3), and (4). 1a , R 1c , R 2c , R 1d , R 2d A compound in which each is independently a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms (preferably 1 to 10 carbon atoms), and l, n, p, r, and s are integers from 1 to 3, is more preferable, and l, n, p, r, and s are R 1a , R 1c , R 2c , R 1d , R 2d Compounds in which each is independently a linear or branched alkyl group having 2 to 8 carbon atoms, and l, n, p, r, and s are integers from 1 to 3, are particularly preferred, with l, n, p, r, and s being the R 1a , R 1c , R 2c , R 1d , R 2d Compounds in which each of the elements is independently a linear or branched alkyl group having 4 to 8 carbon atoms, and l, n, p, r, and s are integers from 1 to 3, are particularly preferred.

[0103] The ultraviolet absorber of the present invention is preferably one that combines the desirable levels of discoloration and weight loss in terms of heat resistance mentioned above with light resistance such that the difference in transmittance is 6% or less at least one of 380, 390, and 400 nm, more preferably 6% or less at all wavelengths, even more preferably 4% or less at all wavelengths, and even more preferably 2% or less at all wavelengths. An ultraviolet absorber in one embodiment of the present invention, which includes such examples, has excellent light resistance, does not deteriorate even when exposed to ultraviolet light during long-term use, exhibits ultraviolet absorption ability over a long period of time, and further suppresses the deterioration of organic resins. It also has excellent heat resistance, and when organic materials, inorganic materials, etc. to which the highly light-resistant ultraviolet absorber of the present invention is added are manufactured, processed, pulverized (micronized), dispersed, and further when used in actual use after processing, they are exposed to high-temperature environments for a long time (at a constant temperature for a certain period of time), and discoloration and weight loss rates are minimal. Thus, in one aspect of the present invention, a UV absorber is provided that does not bleed out from manufacturing to use, maintains its UV absorption ability, has excellent light resistance, heat resistance, and durability, and furthermore, has good affinity (adhesion) with organic and inorganic materials, and can produce components, organic and inorganic materials with excellent appearance.

[0163] The ultraviolet absorbers of the present invention are preferable for use in the manufacture and processing of organic and inorganic materials containing ultraviolet absorbers because they exhibit little discoloration and weight loss even when exposed to a heated environment for a long period of time (at a constant temperature). Among the ultraviolet absorbers of the present invention, in terms of exhibiting little discoloration due to heating when used in combination with organic resins to manufacture and process organic resin compositions, it is preferable that they do not discolor when heated at 120°C for 48 hours, more preferably at 160°C for 6 hours, even more preferably at 160°C for 12 hours, and particularly preferably at 160°C for 24 hours or more.

UV absorbers that exhibit little discoloration or weight loss in a heated environment are preferred, and UV absorbers that exhibit little discoloration and weight loss are more preferred. The organic resin to be combined with the UV absorber of the present invention is not particularly limited, but examples include the above-mentioned thermoplastic resins (polymers and copolymers) and thermosetting resins (polymers and copolymers). Among organic resins, combination with thermoplastic resins is preferred because they are widely subjected to heat molding and processing. As thermoplastic resins, for example, among the polymers of thermoplastic resins, (meth)acrylic resins (polymethyl methacrylate resin), ester resins (polyethylene terephthalate), polycarbonate resins (polycarbonate), and styrene resins (polystyrene) can be preferably used, and among the copolymers of thermoplastic resins, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymers can be preferably used.

[0164] By combining with the UV absorber of the present invention, an organic resin composition is obtained that efficiently absorbs light with wavelengths from 380 to 400 nm, suppressing yellowing. Furthermore, due to the light resistance, heat resistance, durability, compatibility, and affinity of the UV absorber of the present invention with organic resins, the organic resin composition containing the UV absorber of the present invention has an excellent appearance and does not discolor, maintains transparency, suppresses yellowing, or cause bleed-out of the UV absorber when used in environments with heating during manufacturing and processing, high temperatures, and / or UV exposure.

[0165] (Absorption of harmful light from 250 to 420 nm and suppression of early yellowing) Due to its optical properties, the UV absorber of the present invention can sufficiently absorb light in the wavelength range of 250 to 400 nm, and depending on the amount added, it can also absorb wavelengths of 400 to 420 nm. Moreover, it has a high UV absorption effect (molar extinction coefficient), and even with a small amount added, it can sufficiently absorb light in the wavelength range of 250 to 400 nm. Furthermore, because the slope of the absorption peak is greater than that of conventional UV absorbers, it can suppress the yellowing of resin components.

[0166] Furthermore, in order to obtain a resin component with excellent appearance that suppresses yellowing by absorbing harmful light in the wavelength range up to ~400 (420) nm, which may trigger adverse effects on the human body, such as damage to eye tissue, and suppressing the absorption of light with wavelengths above 400 (420) nm, which is a cause of yellowing of the component, it is preferable that the light absorption peak in a 50~100 μM chloroform solution is at 350~390 nm, more preferably at 360~380 nm, and particularly preferably at 360~375 nm. Also, the absorption peak in these wavelength ranges is the maximum absorption wavelength (λ maxIt is preferable that the wavelength peak is sharp (the absolute value of the slope is large) on the longer wavelength side in order to suppress the absorption of light with wavelengths longer than 400 nm and suppress yellowing. It is preferable that the slope on the longer wavelength side of the absorption peak (the absolute value of the slope of the line connecting the absorption peak and the peak end of the absorption spectrum on the longer wavelength side) in a 100 μM chloroform solution for compounds of formulas (1) and (2), and in a 50 μM chloroform solution for compounds of formulas (3) and (4) is 0.025 or higher, more preferably 0.030 or higher, even more preferably 0.040 or higher, and even more preferably 0.042 or higher. In addition, in order to absorb efficiently with a small amount, the molar extinction coefficient (maximum molar extinction coefficient: ελ) of the absorption peak in the 350-390 nm range is preferable. max The concentration is preferably 17,000 L / (mol·cm) or more, more preferably 18,000 L / (mol·cm) or more, even more preferably 20,000 L / (mol·cm) or more, and even more preferably 40,000 L / (mol·cm) or more.

[0167] By using these UV absorbers, yellowing is suppressed in organic material compositions (organic resin compositions) and inorganic material compositions, resulting in a good transparent appearance.

[0170] The UV absorber described in [IV] above efficiently absorbs harmful light in the wavelength range of 380 to 400 nm and suppresses the absorption of light with wavelengths above 400 nm, which is a cause of initial yellowing, thereby enabling the production of a component with less influence from harmful light and superior appearance. Furthermore, it exhibits excellent light resistance or heat resistance, or excellent light resistance and heat resistance, i.e., durability. In particular, it is possible to provide glass with a UV shielding film that is suitable for reducing the transmittance of light near 400 nm over a long period of time while suppressing significant yellowing, as well as a UV shielding film suitable for glass with high visible light transmittance, and a composition and dispersion for UV absorber shielding films. Furthermore, the UV absorber described in [IV] above exhibits excellent heat resistance, making it possible to prevent a decrease in the UV shielding effect due to thermal decomposition under heating processes such as during the formation of the UV shielding film on glass and during subsequent secondary processing, as well as under usage conditions. From the viewpoint of heat resistance, preferred structures of the UV absorber of the present invention are given by formulas (1), (3), and (4). • 2-phenylbenzotriazole derivatives are represented by formulas (1), (3), and (4) in [II] above, where X 1a , X 1c , X 2c , X 1d , X 2d This indicates a residue of the phenyl ring. • 2-phenylbenzotriazole derivatives are represented by formulas (1), (3), and (4) in [II] above, where X 1a , X 1c , X 2c , X 1d , X 2d The 'R' symbol indicates a phenyl ring residue, with l, n, p, r, and s R elements. 1a , R 1c , R 2c , R 1d , R2d Each of these independently represents a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms (preferably 1 to 10 carbon atoms), and l, n, p, r, and s represent integers from 0 to 3. • 2-phenylbenzotriazole derivatives are represented by formulas (1), (3), and (4) in [II] above, where X 1a , X 1c , X 2c , X 1d , X 2d The 'R' symbol indicates a phenyl ring residue, with l, n, p, r, and s R elements. 1a , R 1c , R 2c , R 1d , R 2d Each of these independently represents a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms (preferably 1 to 10 carbon atoms), and l, n, p, r, and s represent integers from 1 to 3. • 2-phenylbenzotriazole derivatives are represented by formulas (1), (3), and (4) in [II] above, where X 1a , X 1c , X 2c , X 1d , X 2d The 'R' symbol indicates a phenyl ring residue, with l, n, p, r, and s R elements. 1a , R 1c , R 2c , R 1d , R 2d Each of these independently represents a linear or branched alkyl group having 2 to 8 carbon atoms, and l, n, p, r, and s represent integers from 1 to 3. • 2-phenylbenzotriazole derivatives are represented by formulas (1), (3), and (4) in [II] above, where X 1a , X 1c , X 2c , X 1d , X 2d The 'R' symbol indicates a phenyl ring residue, with l, n, p, r, and s R elements. 1a , R 1c , R 2c , R 1d , R 2dEach of these independently represents a linear or branched alkyl group having 4 to 8 carbon atoms, and l, n, p, r, and s represent integers from 1 to 3.

As described above, it efficiently absorbs harmful light in the wavelength range of 380 to 400 nm and has optical properties that suppress the absorption of light with wavelengths above 400 nm, which is a cause of initial yellowing. Due to its good affinity for glass, an ultraviolet shielding film containing the ultraviolet absorber of the present invention adheres well to glass, resulting in highly transparent glass, suppressed yellowing, and the ability to maintain its ultraviolet shielding effect for a long period of time.

[0194] <UV absorber a> Below, we will explain the ultraviolet absorber a from the ultraviolet absorbers described in [IV] above, using an example of its use in glass for transport equipment (including vehicles) with a glassy coating film.

[0195] The glass in which this UV absorber a is used comprises glass and a UV shielding film formed on its surface. The UV shielding film contains silicon dioxide and UV absorber a. Preferably, the UV shielding film has silicon dioxide as its main component.

[0196] Furthermore, while the film quality of the UV-shielding film is arbitrary, it is preferably glassy. In this specification, a film being glassy means that the matrix component of the film is glassy, ​​and even if the film contains crystalline components such as organic compound A, organic compound B (described later), and ITO fine particles, the film is considered glassy. In this specification, "main component" is a term that means a component that accounts for 50% or more, preferably 60% or more, by mass. Silicon oxide is a component that imparts durability and the hardness necessary for practical use to the film. UV absorber a functions as a UV-shielding component.

[0197] The UV-shielding film may contain components other than silicon dioxide and UV absorber a. The optional components of the film are not particularly limited, but examples include organic compound B, described later, which is a UV-shielding component not corresponding to UV absorber a, and organic compound C, which is a hydrophilic organic compound. Organic compound C may be a polymer. The UV-shielding film may further contain other components, such as structural units derived from a silane coupling agent. These structural units are silane coupling agent derivatives produced by the reaction of the silane coupling agent with other organic and / or inorganic substances.

[0198] The size and form of the UV absorber a are not limited, but to enhance the light transmittance of the glass containing the UV shielding film, it is added as fine particles. Adding it as fine particles improves the persistence of the UV shielding effect compared to adding it as a solute. To suppress the haze rate of the film, the average particle size of the fine particles is adjusted to 150 μm or less. Suitable UV absorber a is an organic compound that is solid at room temperature. In this specification, "room temperature" means 25°C.

[0199] Furthermore, polymers obtained by polymerizing UV absorbers are also known as UV-blocking components that are solid at room temperature. However, since such UV-blocking components are manufactured by polymerizing UV absorbers into which polymerizable functional groups such as (meth)acrylic groups have been introduced, their UV-blocking effect per unit mass is inferior to that of low-molecular-weight UV absorbers.

[0200] The molecular weight of organic compound A is preferably 5000 or less, more preferably 3000 or less, even more preferably 2000 or less, particularly preferably 1500 or less, and in some cases may be 1300 or less, even more preferably 1200 or less, particularly 900 or less, and especially 800 or less. The molecular weight of organic compound A is preferably 200 or more, and more preferably 300 or more. Organic compound A preferably does not contain polymerizable carbon-carbon double bonds in its molecule. Examples of polymerizable carbon-carbon double bonds include double bonds contained in polymerizable functional groups such as vinyl groups, vinylene groups, and vinylidene groups.

[0201] In the above example, it is preferable that the ultraviolet absorber a maintains a crystalline state in the ultraviolet shielding film-forming composition and the ultraviolet shielding film. The crystalline state of ultraviolet absorber a can be confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The ultraviolet absorber a may be crushed using a known dry or wet grinding device to obtain a predetermined average particle size before being incorporated into the ultraviolet shielding film-forming composition. The time it takes for the ultraviolet absorber a to be crushed to obtain a predetermined average particle size depends on the type of grinding device, the amount of material added, and the grinding conditions such as the rotation speed. For this reason, in mass production, it is advisable to determine in advance the time required to obtain a predetermined average particle size by repeatedly interrupting the grinding process using the grinding device as needed and checking the average particle size of the sampled crushed material. When grinding, surfactants, water-soluble resins, etc., may be added to the ultraviolet absorber a to be crushed as appropriate. The ultraviolet absorber a may be dispersed in the film as fine particles with an average particle size of 150 nm or less, preferably 10 to 150 nm, more preferably 50 to 140 nm, and particularly preferably 70 to 140 nm. If the average particle size of the microparticles is too large, it will reduce the transparency of the film, but if it is too small, it may degrade the UV absorption capacity or reduce its durability. The "average particle size" mentioned above, including the measurements in the examples section described later, is a value based on measurements using the dynamic light scattering method, a type of photon correlation method. Specifically, it is the particle size at which the cumulative frequency is 50% in the volume-based distribution of the equivalent spherical diameter. The "average particle size" can be measured, for example, using the Nikkiso Microtrack Ultrafine Particle Size Distribution Analyzer 9340-UPA150. The presence of microparticles of the UV absorber a dispersed in the film can be confirmed by observation using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) or a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The average value A of the top 10% of the maximum lengths of each microparticle present in the film cross-section observed using SEM or TEM will not be less than the "average particle size" value defined above. Therefore, if the above average value A is 150 nm or less, the "average particle size" can be considered to be 150 nm or less. Furthermore, the average value B of the bottom 10% of lengths in the direction perpendicular to the direction that defines the maximum length of each fine particle present in the above-mentioned film cross-section will not exceed the value of "average particle size" as defined above.Therefore, for example, if the above average value B is 50 nm or more, the "average particle size" may be considered to be 50 nm or more. The ultraviolet absorber a can also be introduced into the film as a solute dissolved in an organic solvent capable of dissolving it. Introduction as a solute is a more easily implemented method and is also desirable for achieving a more uniform distribution of ultraviolet absorber a in the ultraviolet shielding film. However, introducing ultraviolet absorber a into the film as fine particles improves the persistence of the film's ultraviolet shielding ability. Furthermore, adding ultraviolet absorber a as fine particles yields more favorable spectral absorption characteristics than addition as a solute. Addition as fine particles can cause the absorption peak due to organic compound A in the spectral absorbance curve to shift to longer wavelengths than when added as a solute. This shift makes it possible to more effectively shield light near 400 nm wavelength. However, on the other hand, the shift of the absorption peak to the longer wavelength side makes the yellowish tint of the UV-shielding film stronger. Taking these factors into consideration, organic compound A is suitable for sufficiently reducing the transmittance of light near 400 nm while suppressing the strong yellowish tint of the UV-shielding film. The UV-shielding film-forming composition may be a film-forming solution containing a silicon dioxide precursor and UV absorber a. The solvent constituting the film-forming solution is not particularly limited, but examples include water and organic solvents. However, in terms of dispersing the UV absorber as fine particles as in the above example, water and lower alcohols are suitable, with water being the most suitable. As lower alcohols, alcohols with 1 to 3 carbon atoms such as methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol are preferred. The UV-shielding film-forming composition may also contain components that may be incorporated into the UV-shielding film, such as organic compound B and silane coupling agents. The composition for forming the ultraviolet shielding film may contain additives such as antioxidants, heat stabilizers, weather stabilizers, light stabilizers, pigments, dyes, fillers, plasticizers, antistatic agents, nucleating agents, wetting agents, preservatives, fungicides, defoamers, and stabilizers, as needed. The silicon dioxide precursor is not limited in type as long as it can supply silicon dioxide to the ultraviolet shielding film. When forming the ultraviolet shielding film by the sol-gel method described later, the preferred silicon dioxide precursor is a silicon compound having a hydrolyzable functional group, typically a silicon tetraalkoxide.Furthermore, silicon dioxide is also supplied from silicon atoms contained in the silane coupling agent. Therefore, the silane coupling agent also functions as a silicon dioxide precursor. The silicon dioxide in the ultraviolet shielding film may account for 40% or more by mass, 50% or more by mass (in which case silicon dioxide becomes the main component of the film), and in some cases, 70% or more by mass of the entire film. Preferably, the ultraviolet shielding film has a form in which silicon dioxide is the main component and fine particles of organic compound A and other components are dispersed in a network of Si-O bonds. A film having such a form is suitable for outdoor use as window glass, etc. Preferably, the ultraviolet shielding film forming composition contains a silicon dioxide precursor such that the silicon dioxide content of the ultraviolet shielding film formed from the composition is approximately as described above. Preferably, the ultraviolet absorber a is contained in the ultraviolet shielding film in an amount of 0.01 to 90%, more specifically 0.1 to 80%, 1 to 80%, particularly 5 to 60%, even more specifically 5 to 50%, and especially 7 to 30%, expressed by mass%, relative to the silicon dioxide in the ultraviolet shielding film. Considering this, the amount of UV absorber a is expressed in mass%, and is not particularly limited, but is preferably added in an amount of, for example, 0.5 to 25%, more preferably 0.5 to 15% relative to the volume of the film-forming solution. Organic compound B is a UV shielding component that does not correspond to UV absorber a. Organic compound B is not particularly limited, but is, for example, a UV absorber containing a benzotriazole, triazine, benzophenone, or benzoate skeleton. Not particularly limited, but is, for example, an organic compound having a molecular structure that contains a 2-phenyl-benzotriazole skeleton and to which a sulfur atom-containing group is not attached, or a benzophenone compound. Similar to UV absorber a, it is preferable that organic compound B maintains a crystalline state in the UV shielding film-forming composition and the UV shielding film. Organic compound B may be crushed using a known dry or wet grinding device to a predetermined average particle size before being incorporated into the UV shielding film-forming composition. The preferred average particle size of organic compound B is as described above for UV absorber a. It is preferable that the total amount of organic compound B and ultraviolet absorber a be blended in such a ratio that the ratio of ultraviolet absorber a to silicon dioxide in the ultraviolet shielding film is as described above.Organic compound B should be added in such a way that its mass is less than that of UV absorber a, preferably less than 50% of that of UV absorber a.

[0202] Organic compound B may have two or more 2-phenylbenzotriazole skeletons. Preferably, the two or more 2-phenylbenzotriazole skeletons are connected by alkylene groups. A preferred example of organic compound B having two 2-phenylbenzotriazole skeletons is the R of each skeleton in formula (A) above. 2 It has a form in which it is bonded to each other by methylene groups attached to it. In this form, the R of each skeleton 1 is a hydroxyl group, R 4 is a tert-butyl group, R 3 and R 5 It may also be a hydrogen atom. For example, 2,2'-methylenebis[6-(benzotriazol-2-yl)-4-tert-octylphenol] is one such example.

[0203] Another example of organic compound B is benzophenone compounds. Examples include 2,2',4,4'-tetrahydroxybenzophenone, 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone, 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone, 2-hydroxy-4-octoxybenzophenone, and 5,5'-methylenebis(2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone).

[0204] Organic compound C is a hydrophilic organic compound and may be a polymer. Organic compound C contributes to improving the dispersibility of UV absorber a and the benzotriazole-based UV shielding component of organic compound B in the UV shielding film, thereby enhancing the light shielding ability of the benzotriazole-based UV shielding component and further suppressing its degradation. When forming a relatively thick UV shielding film (for example, thicker than 300 nm, or even thicker than 500 nm) by liquid-phase film formation such as the sol-gel method, cracks may occur due to the evaporation of the liquid component contained in the film-forming solution. Organic compound C is also a component that enables the formation of a thick film while suppressing the occurrence of cracks. Organic compound C is preferably at least one selected from polyether compounds, polyol compounds, polyvinylpyrrolidones, and polyvinylcaprolactams. Polyether compounds are compounds containing two or more ether bonds. Polyol compounds are compounds containing two or more hydroxyl groups. Polyvinylpyrrolidones are polymers containing vinylpyrrolidone and its derivatives as monomers. Polyvinylcaprolactams are polymers containing vinylcaprolactam and its derivatives as monomers. Examples of organic compound C include polyether-type surfactants and polyol compounds produced by the reaction of epoxy groups of polyepoxy compounds. Organic compound C may also be a polymer. Examples of organic compound C include polycaprolactone polyol, bisphenol A polyol, polyethylene glycol, and polypropylene glycol. Organic compound C is preferably added to the film in a mass percentage of silicon dioxide in the film, such that it is 0-75%, more specifically 0.05-50%, particularly 0.1-40%, especially 1-30%, possibly 10% or less, and preferably 7% or less. The type of silane coupling agent is not particularly limited, but organic compounds represented by LSiM3 are preferred. Here, L is at least one selected from vinyl groups, glycidoxy groups, methacrylic groups, amino groups, and mercapto groups, and M is a halogen element or an alkoxy group. In silane coupling agents, the L group reacts with organic matter in the UV-shielding film, and the X group hydrolyzes and reacts with inorganic matter in the film.Through this reaction, the silane coupling agent contributes to improving the dispersibility of the UV-shielding component, which is organic compound A or organic compounds A and B, in the film, thereby enabling the formation of a thick film while suppressing the occurrence of cracks. It is preferable to add the silane coupling agent to the film such that the silicon dioxide supplied from the silane coupling agent is 0-30%, preferably 0.1-20%, and more preferably 1-10%, of the total silicon dioxide in the UV-shielding film, expressed in mole percent. The amount of silicon dioxide supplied from the silane coupling agent is calculated according to the number of oxygen atoms bonded to the silicon atoms of the structural units derived from the silane coupling agent in the UV-shielding film. For example, the silicon dioxide supplied from the silane coupling agent represented by LSiM3 above has three oxygen atoms bonded to the silicon atoms, so SiO₂. 1.5This is how it is displayed. Other components that the UV-shielding film may contain include indium tin oxide (ITO) fine particles. ITO fine particles are a preferred component for absorbing near-infrared light. The ITO fine particles are preferably dispersed in the film as fine particles with an average particle size of 200 nm or less, preferably 5 to 150 nm. Similar to the fine particles of UV absorber a, if the particle size is too large, it will reduce the transparency of the film, and if it is too small, the effect of the addition will not be sufficiently obtained. It is also preferable to prepare a dispersion of ITO fine particles in advance and add it to the film-forming solution. The UV-shielding film may contain inorganic components other than silicon dioxide and ITO fine particles. Examples of such inorganic components include components derived from the acid catalyst used in the sol-gel method. The silicon dioxide in the UV-shielding film should account for 30% by mass or more of the total film, preferably 40% by mass or more, more preferably 50% by mass or more (in this case, silicon dioxide becomes the main component of the film), and possibly 70% by mass or more. The ultraviolet shielding film preferably has silicon dioxide as its main component, with fine particles of ultraviolet absorber a and other components dispersed in a network of Si-O bonds. Glass containing a film having such a form is not particularly limited, and examples include glass used in buildings and transportation equipment, specifically vehicles such as automobiles and railway cars, ships, aircraft, daylighting glass, fluorescent lamps, mercury lamps, halogen bulbs, and LED lights, and is particularly suitable for outdoor use as window glass.

[0205] The following describes a preferred method for forming the ultraviolet shielding film shown in the above example using the sol-gel method. The organic solvent used in the sol-gel method is preferably one that is highly compatible with silicon alkoxides and water, and a lower alcohol having 1 to 3 carbon atoms is suitable. Examples of silicon alkoxides used as silicon oxide precursors include silicon tetraalkoxides such as silicon tetramethoxide, silicon tetraethoxide (TEOS), and silicon tetraisopropoxide. Hydrolyzed silicon alkoxides may also be used as silicon oxide precursors. The concentration of silicon alkoxide in the solution formed by the sol-gel method is preferably 3 to 15% by mass, particularly 3 to 13% by mass, expressed as the silicon oxide concentration when the silicon alkoxide is converted to silicon oxide. If this concentration is too high, cracks may occur in the film. The amount of water relative to the silicon alkoxide is preferably 4 times or more, specifically 4 to 40 times, preferably 4 to 35 times, expressed as a molar ratio. As the hydrolysis catalyst, it is preferable to use an acid catalyst, particularly a strong acid such as hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, trichloroacetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, methanesulfonic acid, or p-toluenesulfonic acid. Since organic matter derived from the acid catalyst may reduce film hardness, inorganic acids are preferred as the acid catalyst. Hydrochloric acid is the most preferred acid catalyst because it is highly volatile and does not easily remain on the film. The concentration of the acid catalyst is preferably in the range of 0.001 to 2 mol / kg, expressed as the molal concentration of protons assuming complete dissociation of protons from the acid. By adding an excess of water to the extent described above and adding the acid catalyst to achieve the concentration described above, a relatively thick film can be easily formed by the sol-gel method at a temperature range that prevents the decomposition of organic matter. A film-forming solution for an ultraviolet shielding film can be prepared by mixing a solution to which the sol-gel method can be applied, containing the components listed above, with a dispersion of fine particles such as ultraviolet absorber a, and further adding organic compound C, etc., as needed. However, the method of preparing the film-forming solution is not limited to this, and the components necessary for film formation by the sol-gel method may be added sequentially to the dispersion of fine particles. The film-forming solution may be prepared to include, along with fine particles such as ultraviolet absorber a, components necessary for forming a film by a method other than the sol-gel method, such as polysilazane.In the coating process of the film-forming solution, it is preferable to maintain the relative humidity of the atmosphere at less than 40%, and more preferably at 30% or less. Maintaining low relative humidity prevents the film from excessively absorbing moisture from the atmosphere. If a large amount of moisture is absorbed from the atmosphere, the remaining water that penetrates into the film matrix may reduce the strength of the film. The drying process of the film-forming solution is preferably carried out to include an air-drying process under the coating environment and a heat-drying process involving heating. The air-drying process is preferably carried out by exposing the coated film of the film-forming solution to an atmosphere where the relative humidity is maintained at less than 40%, and more preferably at 30% or less. In the heat-drying process, the condensation polymerization reaction of silanol groups generated by hydrolysis proceeds, and the removal of liquid components remaining in the film, especially water, proceeds, and the silicon dioxide matrix (a network of Si-O bonds) develops. The heat-drying process is preferably carried out by exposing the coated film to an atmosphere at 300°C or less, for example, 100-200°C. The heating and drying process is preferably carried out by exposing the coated film to an atmosphere of 300°C or lower, for example, 100-200°C, and possibly 50-100°C. The heating temperature in the heating and drying process is preferably below the melting point of the ultraviolet absorber a and organic compound B added as fine particles, particularly the ultraviolet absorber a added as fine particles. The heating temperature for heating the film in the heating and drying process is preferably selected from a range lower than the melting point of the ultraviolet absorber a added as fine particles. When organic compound B is added as fine particles, the heating temperature is preferably selected from a range lower than the melting point of both the ultraviolet absorber a and the organic compound B. In this case, the melting points of the ultraviolet absorber a and the organic compound B are preferably 65°C or higher, particularly 100°C or higher, for example, 120-240°C, and may also be 140-240°C.

[0206] Glass can be obtained by liquid-phase film formation by sequentially carrying out the series of steps described above, namely a) a step of preparing a film-forming solution for an ultraviolet shielding film containing fine particles of ultraviolet absorber a and other components, b) a step of applying the film-forming solution onto glass, and c) a step of drying the film-forming solution. This manufacturing method is a method for producing a glass article having an ultraviolet shielding film, comprising the steps of: preparing a film-forming solution for an ultraviolet shielding film containing an organic compound A as a solute, which is solid at room temperature and has an average molecular weight of 5000 or less, as fine particles with an average particle size of 150 nm or less; applying this film-forming solution onto glass; and drying the film-forming solution on the glass to form an ultraviolet shielding film. This manufacturing method constitutes another aspect of the present invention. The film thickness of the ultraviolet shielding film is preferably greater than 300 nm and 15 μm or less, more preferably 500 nm or more and 10 μm or less, and particularly preferably 1000 nm or more and 5000 nm or less. If the film is too thin, sufficient UV protection may not be achieved, and if the film is too thick, the transmittance of the film will decrease, impairing the transparency of the glass.

[0207] The glass is not particularly limited, and soda lime silicate glass can be used. A typical composition example of this glass is shown below. In the following, all "%" indicating the content of each component in the glass are in mass percent. Alkali metal oxide (R2O) specifically refers to the total amount of Na2O and K2O. T-Fe2O3 is the total iron oxide converted to Fe2O3. In addition, each composition example may contain trace components that are not indicated. For example, general clear glass can be used. An example of its glass composition is shown below. (Clear glass) SiO2: 70~73% by mass Al2O3: 0.6~2.4% CaO: 7-12% MgO: 1.0~4.5% R2O: 13-15% (R is an alkali metal) Total iron oxide (T-Fe2O3) converted to Fe2O3: 0.08~0.2%.

[0208] Furthermore, it is preferable to use soda lime silicate glass having a composition in which the concentration of iron oxide is increased and, if necessary, other ultraviolet absorbing components such as titanium dioxide and cerium oxide are added. As soda lime silicate glass, glass having a glass composition containing more than 0.2%, preferably 0.4% or more, more preferably 0.5% or more, for example 0.5 to 1.3% iron oxide, and having a light transmittance of 70% or less, preferably 50% or less, at a wavelength of 380 nm, and a light transmittance of 75% or more at a wavelength of 550 nm may be used. For example, green glass, heat-absorbing glass, and ultraviolet-cut green glass can be used. Some examples of such glass compositions are shown below. (Green glass) SiO2: 70~73% by mass Al2O3: 0.6~2.4% CaO: 7-12% MgO: 1.0~4.5% R2O: 13-15% (R is an alkali metal) Total iron oxide (T-Fe2O3) converted to Fe2O3: 0.4-0.6% (Heat-absorbing glass) SiO2: 70~73% by mass Al2O3: 0.6~2.4% CaO: 7-12% MgO: 1.0~4.5% R2O: 13-15% (R is an alkali metal) Total iron oxide (T-Fe2O3) converted to Fe2O3: 0.5~1.1% (UV-cut green glass) SiO2: 70~73% by mass Al2O3: 0.6~2.4% CaO: 7-12% MgO: 1.0~4.5% R2O: 13-15% (R is an alkali metal) Total iron oxide (T-Fe2O3) converted to Fe2O3: 0.7-1.3% CeO2: 0-2% TiO2: 0-0.5%. However, high-transmittance glass with an iron oxide content of 0.1% by mass or less, preferably 0.01% to 0.06%, can also be used. An example is shown below. (High-transmittance glass) SiO2: 70~73% by mass Al2O3: 0.6~2.4% CaO: 7-12% MgO: 1.0~4.5% R2O: 13-15% (R is an alkali metal) Total iron oxide (T-Fe2O3) converted to Fe2O3: 0.01~0.06%. In the above, the iron oxide concentration is a value calculated by converting the total iron oxide contained in the glass to Fe2O3.

[0209] However, the glass is not limited to those described above; it may also be glass with low light transmittance in the visible range. Examples of such glass include glass manufactured for vehicle windows with a light transmittance of 20-60% at a wavelength of 550 nm. Since it is difficult to adequately shield the ultraviolet range, especially in the long-wavelength region, using only the components that make up the glass is difficult, the application of the ultraviolet shielding film described above is also useful for glass with low visible light transmittance.

[0210] The glass having the above-mentioned ultraviolet shielding film has an ultraviolet transmittance T based on ISO9050 (1990 edition). UV 380 may be 2% or less, preferably 1% or less, and more preferably 0.5% or less. Furthermore, the glass having the above ultraviolet shielding film has an ultraviolet transmittance T calculated according to ISO 13837 (convention A). UV 400 may be 2% or less, preferably 1.5% or less, and particularly preferably 1% or less. The glass having the above ultraviolet shielding film may have a visible light transmittance YA of 70% or more, measured using a CIE standard A light source. The glass having the above ultraviolet shielding film may have T UV 400 may be less than 2%, and YA may be 70% or more.

[0211] The glass having the above-mentioned ultraviolet shielding film allows transmitted light from a CIE standard C light source to be L* a * b * Displayed according to the color system, a values ​​between -15 and 0. * and b less than or equal to 12 * It may have a * b is -12 or greater and -7 or less, for example, -9 or greater and -8 or less, * The yellowness index (YI) of the transmitted light for a C-light source of the CIE standard may be 10 or less, for example, 5 to 10. Furthermore, the glass having the above ultraviolet shielding film may have a yellowness index (YI) of 14 or less for transmitted light for a C-light source of the CIE standard, as defined in Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) K7373:2006. The yellowness index (YI) may be 10 or less, and even 8 or less. Furthermore, the dominant wavelength of transmitted light for a C-light source of the CIE standard may be 560 nm or less for the glass having the above ultraviolet shielding film. The dominant wavelength may be 555 nm or less, for example, in the range of 550 to 555 nm. The blue light cut rate of the glass having the above ultraviolet shielding film may be 41% or less, preferably 37% or less, and particularly preferably 36% or less, based on the blue light hindrance function of JIS T7330. Here, the blue light cut rate can be defined as the ratio of the effective radiant intensity related to retinal damage caused by blue light from sunlight (hereinafter, effective radiant intensity of sunlight) to the effective radiant intensity reduced by transmitting light through the glass, expressed as a percentage. Specifically, it can be determined by the following method: The effective radiant intensity of sunlight is calculated by summing the weighting function for the blue light hindrance function described in Annex A of JIS T7330:2000 up to the wavelength range of 380 to 550 nm. Next, the effective radiant intensity of the light transmitted through the glass (hereinafter referred to as the effective radiant intensity of transmitted light) is calculated by taking the sum of the products of the spectral transmittance of the glass and the weighting function at each wavelength in the above wavelength range. The ratio of the effective radiant intensity of transmitted light to the effective radiant intensity of sunlight can be taken and this value can be converted to a percentage by subtracting it from 1.

[0212] The glass having the above-mentioned UV-shielding film is suitable for wavelengths of 295-450 nm and illuminances of 76 mW / cm². 2 UV transmittance T after 100 hours of irradiation with UV light UV UV transmittance T before irradiation with the above UV light from 400 UV The difference ΔT after subtracting 400 UVThe percentage of 400 can be 2% or less, even 1% or less, and especially 0.5% or less. The glass having the above-mentioned ultraviolet shielding film is suitable for wavelengths of 295-450 nm and illuminances of 76 mW / cm². 2 The difference ΔYA, obtained by subtracting the visible light transmittance YA before irradiation with the ultraviolet light from the visible light transmittance YA after 100 hours of irradiation with the ultraviolet light, may be -0.5% or more, particularly -0.2% or more. ΔYA may be between -0.5% and 1%, or even between -0.2% and 0.5%. [Examples]

[0286] 1. Evaluation of the optical properties of UV absorbers and the lightfastness of organic resin compositions containing UV absorbers. <1> Optical properties of UV absorbers The ultraviolet absorber compounds 1-12, 16, 17, and 19 were dissolved in chloroform at a concentration of 100 μM, and compounds 13-15, 18, 21, and 22 were dissolved at a concentration of 50 μM. These solutions were then placed in a 10 mm quartz cell, and their absorption spectra were measured using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer (JASCO V-550) (Figures 1-4).

[0287] The absolute value of the slope on the longer wavelength side of the absorption peak in the 350-390 nm wavelength range was determined by using the following formula (Table 3), with the peak end defined as the intersection point of the long-wavelength absorption spectrum of the absorption peak of each compound and the baseline (the line where the slope of the absorption spectrum in the 400-500 nm range is 0) (e.g., Figure 1). |The slope on the longer wavelength side of the absorption peak in the 350-390nm wavelength range| = |(Absorbance at the peak end - Absorbance of the absorption peak in the 350-390nm wavelength range) / (Absorbance wavelength at the peak end - Wavelength of the absorption peak in the 350-390nm wavelength range)|

[0288] Furthermore, the molar extinction coefficient is the absorption peak in the wavelength region of 350-390 nm (maximum absorption wavelength: λ max The absorbance of ) was read and calculated using the following formula (Table 4). Molar extinction coefficient: ε max (L / (mol·cm)=A: absorbance / [c: molar concentration (mol / L) × l: optical path length of cell (cm)]

[0289] Because all of compounds 1 to 18 have either a thioaryl ring group or a thiocyclohexyl ring group, compared to the common long-wavelength absorbing type UV absorber 2-(2-hydroxy-3-t-butyl-5-methylphenyl)-chlorobenzotriazole (absorption peak: 353.5 nm, slope: 0.0219) and Comparative Example 1 (compound 22, TINUVIN360, manufactured by Ciba Specialty Chemicals Co., Ltd.), they exhibit superior UV absorption ability in the long-wavelength region, with absorption peaks at the maximum absorption wavelength between 360 and 375 nm. The absolute value of the slope on the long-wavelength side of the absorption peak is 0.030 or higher, and in particular, the slopes of compounds 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, and 13 are 0.040 or higher, and furthermore, the slopes of compounds 2, 3, 6, 8, and 12 are 0.042 or higher, suggesting a high yellow suppression effect on films and transparent materials.

[0290] Regarding the molar extinction coefficient, compounds 1-12, 16, and 17 of formulas (1) and (2) had a coefficient of 20,000 L / (mol·cm) or higher, confirming that they can efficiently absorb long-wavelength ultraviolet light in small amounts compared to 2-(2-hydroxy-3-t-butyl-5-methylphenyl)-chlorobenzotriazole (15,300 L / (mol·cm)). In particular, compounds 13-15 and 18 of formulas (3) and (4), which have two 2-phenylbenzotriazole skeletons, had a coefficient of 40,000 L / (mol·cm) or higher, demonstrating superior effectiveness compared to comparative example 22 (33,700 L / (mol·cm)) which does not have a thioaryl ring group.

[0291] Furthermore, the absorption spectra in Figures 1-4 suggest that, compared to the reference example compounds 19 and 21, the UV absorbers compounds 1-15, 17, and 18 of formulas (1), (3), and (4) exhibit a larger overall absorption peak in the 250-330 nm region (higher absorbance) due to the introduction of phenyl ring residues and naphthyl ring residues to the thioaryl ring group. This allows them to absorb UV light over a wide range from low to long wavelengths, suggesting high effectiveness in suppressing quality degradation of materials and UV absorbers, and preventing health hazards. <2> Preparation of lightfastness evaluation samples for UV absorbers (organic resin compositions containing UV absorbers) Compounds 1-16 and 19-21 were dissolved in a 20 wt% acrylic resin (paraloid B72) toluene solution in the following mass ratios, taking into account the solubility of the compounds. The mixture was then coated onto soda glass and dried at 80°C for 10 minutes to obtain evaluation samples. ·Compounds 1~6,8~11,16,19,20 Mixing ratio (mass ratio) 20 wt% acrylic resin toluene solution:compound = 3.0:0.1 (Acrylic resin:compound = 0.6:0.1) Dry film thickness: 2-3 μm ·Compound 7,12 Mixing ratio 20 wt% acrylic resin toluene solution:compound = 6.0:0.1 (Acrylic resin:compound = 1.2:0.1) Dry film thickness: 4-6 μm ·Compound 13 Mixing ratio (mass ratio) 20 wt% acrylic resin toluene solution:compound = 12.0:0.1 (Acrylic resin:compound = 2.4:0.1) Dry film thickness: 7-9 μm ·Compounds 14,15,21 Mixing ratio (mass ratio) 20 wt% acrylic resin toluene solution:compound = 17.0:0.1 (Acrylic resin:compound = 3.4:0.1) Dry film thickness: 50 μm <3> Evaluation of lightfastness of UV absorbers (organic resin compositions containing UV absorbers) For the obtained evaluation samples, the ultraviolet-visible transmission spectrum was measured using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer (Hitachi U-3310), and the initial (pre-irradiation) ultraviolet transmittance (T1uv:%) at 380, 390, and 400 nm was read. Then, using an ultraviolet irradiation device (Suga Xenon Weather Meter X25FL-Z), the wavelength was 300-400 nm and the irradiance was 42 W / m². 2Under conditions of a black panel temperature of 63°C, ultraviolet light was irradiated, and the ultraviolet-visible transmission spectra were measured after 70 and 140 hours of irradiation. The transmittance (T2uv:%) at 380, 390, and 400 nm derived from the ultraviolet absorber was read, and the difference in transmittance ΔTuv(%) was calculated using the following formula to evaluate the light resistance of the ultraviolet absorber (Tables 1A and 1B).

[0292]

number

[0293] When UV absorbers do not degrade in UV absorption capacity (there is no decrease in UV absorption capacity) and have excellent light resistance, ΔTuv becomes smaller. The ΔTuv values ​​for irradiation times of 70 and 140 hours in Tables 1A and 1B were evaluated using the following criteria, from ◎ to × (Tables 2A and 2B). ◎ : ΔTuv=0~2.0 ○ : ΔTuv=2.1~4.0 △ : ΔTuv=4.1~6.0 × : ΔTuv=6.1~

[0294] Furthermore, the scores from ◎ to × were assigned to a scale of 0 to 3, and the scores for each compound's irradiation time (70 and 140 hours) were added together (S(70h), S(140h)). ◎ : 3 ○ : 2 △ : 1 × : 0

[0295] Compounds 1-12 of formula (1) (Examples 1-12) had S(70h) values ​​of 1-9, while compound 19 (Reference Example 1) where the X of the thioalkoxy group (-SX) is an alkyl group rather than an aryl ring residue, and compound 20 (Reference Example 2) where the phenyl ring residue is not directly bonded to a sulfur atom, had an S(70h) value of 0. Similarly, compounds 13-15 of formula (3) (Examples 13-15) had S(70h) values ​​of 4-9, while compound 21 of Reference Example 3 had an S(70h) value of 3, where the X of the aryl ring residue (X) 1a , X 1c , X 2cThe ultraviolet absorber of the present invention, in which the ) is directly bonded to the sulfur atom, was suggested to exhibit excellent lightfastness. The ultraviolet absorbers of formulas (1), (3), and (4) are thought to have exhibited high lightfastness due to the π-electron interaction between the phenyl and naphthyl ring residues of the aromatic aryl ring directly bonded to the sulfur atom and the 2-phenylbenzotriazole skeleton. Furthermore, compound 16 (S(70h):6) of formula (2) also showed good lightfastness compared to the reference example compounds 19-21 (S(70h):0-3).

[0296] Also, X 1a Compound 1, which has a phenyl ring residue, had S(70h)=9, while compound 12, which has a naphthyl ring, had S(70h)=2, indicating that compounds with a phenyl ring residue showed a favorable trend.

[0297] R 1a When comparing R 1a Compounds having alkoxy groups (compound 4: S(70h)=8, S(140h)=6) and hydrocarbon groups (compounds 2, 3, 5~10: S(70h)=4~9, S(140h)=0~6) rather than hydroxyl groups (compound 11: S(70h)=1, S(140h)=0) exhibited superior lightfastness. In particular, at l=0, X 1a Compound 1 (S(70h)=9, S(140h)=9), in which all substituents are hydrogen atoms, exhibited high lightfastness.

[0298] Also, in equation (1), X 1a When the residue was a phenyl ring, the following trend was observed. · l=1~3, R 1a However, compounds 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10, which have at least one branched alkyl group with 3 to 8 carbon atoms, showed a difference in transmittance of 6.0 or less at all wavelengths of 380, 390, and 400 nm after 70 hours of irradiation, demonstrating higher photoresistance than compounds 19 and 20 (reference examples 1 and 2) with similar structures.

Compounds 2, 5, 6, 7, and 9, which have alkyl groups with 1 to 10 carbon atoms, showed a transmittance difference of 6.0 or less at all wavelengths of 380, 390, and 400 nm after 70 hours of irradiation, demonstrating higher light resistance than compounds 19 and 20 (Reference Examples 1 and 2), which have similar structures. Compounds 2, 5, 6, 7, and 9, which have 1 to 8 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, showed a transmittance difference of 6.0 or less at all wavelengths of 380, 390, and 400 nm after 70 hours of irradiation, demonstrating higher light resistance than compounds 19 and 20 (Reference Examples 1 and 2), which have similar structures. Compounds 2, 5, 6, and 7, with alkyl groups having 2 to 8 carbon atoms, showed a transmittance difference of 4.0 or less at all wavelengths of 380, 390, and 400 nm after 70 hours of irradiation, and a transmittance difference of 6.0 or less at two wavelengths of 380, 390, and 400 nm after 140 hours of irradiation, demonstrating higher light resistance than compound 9 and compounds 19 and 20 (reference examples 1 and 2) with similar structures. Compounds 2, 5, 6, and 7, which have 3 to 8 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, showed a transmittance difference of 4.0 or less at all wavelengths of 380, 390, and 400 nm after 70 hours of irradiation, and a transmittance difference of 6.0 or less at two wavelengths of 380, 390, and 400 nm after 140 hours of irradiation.

Compounds 2, 5, and 6, which have 3 to 5 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, showed a transmittance difference of 4.0 or less at all wavelengths of 380, 390, and 400 nm after 70 hours of irradiation, and a transmittance difference of 6.0 or less at all wavelengths of 380, 390, and 400 nm after 140 hours of irradiation, demonstrating higher light resistance than compounds 7 and 9, and compounds 19 and 20 (reference examples 1 and 2) with similar structures.

[0300] Also, l=1, R 1a Compounds 2, 5, 6, and 7, which are alkyl groups having tertiary and / or quaternary carbon atoms, showed a transmittance difference of 4.0 or less at all wavelengths of 380, 390, and 400 nm after 70 hours of irradiation, demonstrating higher light resistance than compound 9 and compounds 19 and 20 (Reference Examples 1 and 2) with similar structures.

[0301] l=2, R 1a is a linear or branched alkyl group, Compounds 3, 8, and 10, each with 1 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, showed a transmittance difference of 6.0 or less at all wavelengths of 380, 390, and 400 nm after 70 hours of irradiation, demonstrating higher light resistance than compounds 19 and 20 (Reference Examples 1 and 2), which have similar structures.

Compounds 3, 8, and 10, each with 1 to 5 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, showed a transmittance difference of 6.0 or less at all wavelengths of 380, 390, and 400 nm after 70 hours of irradiation, demonstrating higher light resistance than compounds 19 and 20 (Reference Examples 1 and 2) with similar structures. Compounds 3 and 8, each with 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, showed a transmittance difference of 4.0 or less at all wavelengths of 380, 390, and 400 nm after 70 hours of irradiation, demonstrating higher light resistance than compound 10 and compounds 19 and 20 (reference examples 1 and 2) with similar structures. Compound 3, with each alkyl group having one carbon atom, showed a transmittance difference of 2.0 or less at all wavelengths of 380, 390, and 400 nm after 70 hours of irradiation, demonstrating higher light resistance than compounds 8 and 10, and compounds 19 and 20 (reference examples 1 and 2) with similar structures. Compounds 3, 8, and 10, with alkyl groups having a total of 2 to 12 carbon atoms, showed a transmittance difference of 6.0 or less at all wavelengths of 380, 390, and 400 nm after 70 hours of irradiation, demonstrating higher light resistance than compounds 19 and 20 (Reference Examples 1 and 2), which have similar structures. Compounds 3, 8, and 10, with a total of 2 to 10 C1 / C1 alkyl groups, showed a transmittance difference of 6.0 or less at all wavelengths of 380, 390, and 400 nm after 70 hours of irradiation, demonstrating higher light resistance than compounds 19 and 20 (Reference Examples 1 and 2), which have similar structures. Compounds 3 and 8, with a total of 2 to 5 C1 / C1 alkyl groups, showed a transmittance difference of 4.0 or less at all wavelengths of 380, 390, and 400 nm after 70 hours of irradiation, demonstrating higher light resistance than compound 10 and compounds 19 and 20 (reference examples 1 and 2) with similar structures.

[0303] The UV absorber of the present invention suppresses the degradation of organic resins from ultraviolet light. However, due to the excellent light resistance of the UV absorber, it has been suggested that organic resin compositions containing this UV absorber can absorb long wavelengths while suppressing yellowing and degradation for a long period of time from the initial stage.

[0304] 2. Evaluation of the melting point of UV absorbers The melting points of compounds 1-21 were measured using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC6220, SII Corporation), and the DSC peak top temperature was defined as the melting point (Tables 1A and 1B). The melting point of compound 17 was 114°C, and the melting point of compound 18 was 176°C.

[0305] Compounds 1 to 18 of the present invention all have a melting point of 100°C or higher. Compounds 1 to 3, 5 to 12, 14 to 16, and 18 have a melting point of 130°C or higher, compounds 2, 5 to 9, 11, 12, 14 to 16, and 18 have a melting point of 140°C or higher, and compounds 2, 6 to 8, 11, 12, 14, 15, and 18 have a melting point of 145°C or higher. In particular, compounds 2, 11, 12, 14, 15, and 18 have a melting point of 150°C or higher, and were confirmed to have excellent properties in suppressing bleed-out and blocking, dispersion, and heat processability.

[0306] In equation (1), l=1, and R is at the para position relative to the -S- bond of the thioalkoxy group. 1a Compounds 2, 5, 6, 7, 9 (melting point 140~155°C) having a hydrocarbon group (alkyl group) are R 1a Compound 1 (melting point 136°C) consists entirely of hydrogen atoms, and R1a Compound 4 (melting point 115°C) has a higher melting point than compound 4 (melting point 115°C), and among these, compounds 2, 5, 6, and 7 (melting points 141-155°C) with 3-8 C1 alkyl groups have a higher melting point than compound 9 (melting point 140°C) with 1 C1. Furthermore, compounds 2 and 6 (melting points 148-155°C) with 3-4 C1 alkyl groups have a higher melting point than compounds 5, 7, and 9 (melting points 141, 146, 140°C) with 1, 5, and 8 C1 groups. Compound 2 (with 4 C1) in particular showed a tendency to have a high melting point.

[0340] Table 5 confirms that the compounds of the present invention exhibit good compatibility with any resin, resulting in the production of transparent organic resin compositions.

[0341] [Table 5]

[0342] 4. Evaluation of the elution (bleed-out) of UV absorbers from organic resin compositions. In the compounds of the present invention and the organic resin compositions described in section 3 above, the elution properties of the compounds (ultraviolet absorbers) from the resin were evaluated using compounds 1, 2, 6, 9, and 17 by the following procedure (Table 6).

[0343] A resin solution prepared using the same procedure as in 3. above was spread at a rate of 0.8 mL onto a 1.5 × 6.0 cm glass slide. Each prepared film / slide (using the same procedure as in 3. above) was immersed in 80 mL of heptane and left to stand in a 60°C constant temperature bath for 6 hours. The films / slides were then removed, the heptane was removed by reduced pressure distillation, and the resulting eluate was dissolved in THF and quantified by HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography, Thermo Fisher Scientific UltiMate3000).

[0344] The appearance of the film after testing was observed visually and evaluated according to the following criteria. Evaluation Criteria ○: Has the same level of transparency as before the test. △: Slightly cloudier compared to before the exam. ×: It's much cloudier compared to before the exam.

[0345] Table 6 shows that the elution amounts for the thermoplastic resins / polymers containing compounds 1, 2, 6, 9, and 17 of the present invention—polymethyl methacrylate resin film (meth)acrylic resin, polyethylene terephthalate film (ester resin), polycarbonate film (polycarbonate resin), polystyrene film (styrene resin), ABS resin film (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer), urea resin film (urea resin), and melamine resin film (melamine resin)—were 10.0 wt% or less, and the results were good with no significant deterioration in appearance after testing. Furthermore, among the thermoplastic resins / polymers, polymethyl methacrylate resin film, polyethylene terephthalate film, and polycarbonate, and among the thermosetting resins / polymers, urea resin film, showed particularly good results with elution amounts of less than 1.0 wt%. On the other hand, the acrylic melamine resin film (thermosetting resin / polymer) showed cloudiness after testing, with an elution amount of over 95% confirmed.

[0346] The results above suggest that, in particular, organic resin compositions such as thermoplastic resins / polymers, thermoplastic resins / copolymers, and thermosetting resins / polymers containing the compound of the present invention have excellent appearance, suppress elution due to bleed-out, etc., during dispersion, heat processing, and long-term use, and can maintain ultraviolet absorption capacity for a long period of time.

[0347] These thermoplastic resins / polymers can be classified into crystalline resins (e.g., polyethylene terephthalate) and amorphous resins (polymethyl methacrylate resin, polycarbonate, polystyrene). Among both crystalline and amorphous resins, we confirmed that resins with high molecular orientation (polymethyl methacrylate resin, polycarbonate) have aromatic rings in their side chains and exhibit a higher elution suppression effect than resins with low molecular orientation (polystyrene).

[0348] [Table 6]

[0349] 5. Evaluation of the heat resistance of UV absorbers The heat resistance of the UV absorbers was evaluated by the weight change rate due to thermal decomposition. 5g each of compounds 2, 6, 9, 1, and 19, dried in a vacuum dryer at 50°C for 12 hours, were weighed into 30mL screw-cap tubes, and their weights were measured. The screw-cap tubes containing the compounds were placed in a constant-temperature oven set at 120°C, and changes in appearance and weight change rates were checked after 24, 48, 72, 100, and 300 hours. Changes in appearance were evaluated according to the following criteria. The weight change rate was calculated using the formula [((weight before heating - weight after heating) / weight before heating) × 100], after measuring the weight before and after heating using an electronic balance.

[0350] Next, heat resistance evaluations were performed under conditions of 80°C and 160°C. Similar to the above, 5g each of compounds 2, 6, 9, and 1, dried in a vacuum dryer at 50°C for 12 hours, were weighed into 30mL screw-cap tubes, their weights were measured, and the screw-cap tubes were placed in a constant-temperature oven set to 80°C. The changes in appearance and weight after 300 hours were observed. Furthermore, the same procedure was followed, placing the tubes in a constant-temperature oven set to 160°C, and the changes in appearance and weight after 6, 12, and 24 hours were observed. The changes in appearance were evaluated according to the following criteria. Evaluation Criteria 120°C heat resistance evaluation ○; Appearance change: No change △; Appearance change: Pale yellow ×; Appearance change: yellow 160℃ heat resistance evaluation ◎; Appearance change: No change ○; Appearance change: pale yellow △; Appearance change: Yellow ×; Appearance change: Black

[0351] In a heat resistance test at 80°C for 300 hours, compounds 2, 6, 9, and 1 showed no discoloration. No weight change was observed either. As shown in Table 7, after heating at 120°C for 48 hours, compound 19 of the reference example turned pale yellow, but compounds 2, 6, 9, and 1 of the present invention's examples did not discolor. This confirms that the heat resistance of the compounds of the present invention, which have a thioaryl ring group, is superior to that of compound 19 of the reference example.

[0352] Next, the effect of substituents on the thioaryl ring group was evaluated under 160°C conditions, as shown in Table 8. Compounds 2, 6, and 9 (6h: no change to yellow), which have alkyl groups on the thioaryl ring group, showed less change in appearance over a longer period of time and had superior heat resistance compared to compound 1 (6h: black), which does not have an alkyl group on the thioaryl ring group. Furthermore, compounds 2 and 6 (6h: no change, 12h: no change to pale yellow), which have three and four C1 alkyl groups, showed higher heat resistance than compound 9 (6h: yellow, 12h: yellow), which has one C1 alkyl group. In particular, compound 2 (12h: no change), which has four C1 alkyl groups, showed superior heat resistance compared to compound 6 (12h: pale yellow), which has three C1 alkyl groups.

[0353] Furthermore, regarding weight change under heating conditions, Table 7 shows that while compound 19 in the reference example showed a weight change of 0.03% by weight after heating at 120°C for 48 hours, compounds 2, 6, 9, and 1 in the examples all showed a weight change of 0.01% by weight, confirming the superiority of the aryl ring group.

[0354] Next, as shown in Table 8, when compound 1 was heated at 160°C for 6 hours, the weight change rate was 0.20% by weight, while compounds 2, 6, and 9 all had weight change rates of 0.1% by weight or less, indicating that compounds with alkyl groups on the phenyl ring group exhibited superior heat resistance. Furthermore, when heated at 160°C for 12 hours, compound 6 had a weight change rate of 0.03% by weight, while compound 2 had a weight change rate of 0.01% by weight, indicating that compounds with C3 and C4 alkyl groups on the phenyl ring group exhibited superior heat resistance, and after 24 hours of heating, compound 2 (weight change rate: 0.01) with C4 had superior heat resistance compared to compound 6 (weight change rate: 0.04) with C3.

[0355] Furthermore, when the 5% weight loss temperature of compounds 1 and 19 during heating was measured using a TG / DTA (manufactured by SII) under a nitrogen atmosphere and a heating rate of 10°C / min, compound 19, a reference example, had a 5% weight loss temperature of 294°C, while compound 1 had a 5% weight loss temperature of 290°C, indicating that compound 19 had a higher 5% weight loss temperature. However, in heat resistance evaluation tests conducted under conditions closer to practical use, such as this heat resistance evaluation test, compound 1, which contains a phenyl residue that is the ultraviolet absorber of the present invention, showed high heat resistance.

[0356] The typical molding temperatures for general thermoplastic resins are: polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA): 160°C or higher, polyethylene terephthalate (PET): 260°C or higher, polycarbonate (PC): 220°C or higher, polystyrene (PS): 100°C or higher, and ABS resin: 220°C or higher. The typical thermosetting temperatures for thermosetting resins are: urea resin: 150°C, melamine resin: 150°C, and acrylic melamine resin film: 150°C. Depending on the molding time and thermosetting time of the resin, the UV absorber of the present invention has high heat resistance and can be preferably applied to resins with thermoforming and thermosetting temperatures of 80°C or higher, even 120°C or higher, and especially 160°C or higher.

[0357] [Table 7]

[0358] [Table 8]

[0359] 6. Evaluation of the heat resistance of organic resin compositions containing UV absorbers <1> Preparation of heat resistance evaluation samples • UV absorber / thermoplastic resin (meth)acrylic resin: polymethyl methacrylate resin Compounds 2, 6, 9, 1, and 19, which are the ultraviolet absorbers of the present invention, and compound 19 from Reference Example 5 were dissolved in a chloroform solution of 2.5 wt% polymethyl methacrylate resin (Tokyo Chemical Industries) to a concentration of 10 wt% relative to the acrylic resin. Approximately 0.5 ml of this solution was then dropped onto glass (micro slide glass S1112, manufactured by Matsunami Glass Industry Co., Ltd.), and a film was formed by spin coating to obtain an evaluation sample. • UV absorber / thermoplastic resin: Polycarbonate resin: Polycarbonate Compounds 2, 6, 9, 1, and 19, which are ultraviolet absorbers of the present invention, and compound 19 from Reference Example 5 were dissolved in a 5.0 wt% polycarbonate chloroform solution to a concentration of approximately 10 wt% relative to the acrylic resin. Approximately 0.5 ml of this solution was then dropped onto glass (micro slide glass S1112 manufactured by Matsunami Glass Industry Co., Ltd.), and a film was formed by spin coating to obtain an evaluation sample. • UV absorber / thermosetting resin: Acrylic melamine resin: Acrylic melamine resin Compounds 2, 6, 9, 1, and 19, which are ultraviolet absorbers of the present invention, and compound 19 from Reference Example 5 were dissolved in a 5.0 wt% acrylic melamine resin chloroform solution to a concentration of 10 wt% relative to the acrylic resin. Approximately 0.5 ml of this solution was then dropped onto glass (micro slide glass S1112 manufactured by Matsunami Glass Industry Co., Ltd.), and a film was formed by spin coating to obtain evaluation samples. <2> Evaluation of appearance and heat resistance The evaluation samples obtained above were placed in a constant temperature chamber set to 160°C and heated. After 6 and 12 hours, changes in appearance and transmittance were checked. Changes in appearance were evaluated according to the following criteria. Evaluation Criteria 160℃ heat resistance evaluation ○; Appearance change: No change △; Appearance change: Pale yellow ×; Appearance change: yellow

[0360] The transmittance was determined by measuring the ultraviolet-visible transmission spectrum using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer (Hitachi UH4150). The initial (pre-irradiation) ultraviolet transmittance (T1uv:%) at 380, 390, and 400 nm was measured, and the transmittance at 380, 390, and 400 nm (T2uv:%) was read from the UV-Vis transmission spectrum after heating. The difference in transmittance, ΔTuv(%), was calculated using the following formula.

[0361]

number

[0362] [Table 9]

[0363] Regarding the appearance shown in Table 9, the UV absorbers of Examples 37-40 and the organic resin compositions containing them were transparent due to their good affinity with glass, exhibited excellent heat resistance, and maintained a good appearance both immediately after sample preparation and after 12 hours of heating (they are also suitable as UV shielding films). Compounds 2, 6, 9, and 1 containing thioaryl ring groups showed smaller corresponding ΔTuv values ​​at 380, 390, and 400 nm after 6 and 12 hours compared to reference example compound 19 containing a thioalkyl group (no degradation of UV absorption capacity), exhibited excellent heat resistance, and demonstrated the superiority of the aryl ring group.

[0364] Furthermore, when comparing the ΔTuv values ​​of compounds 2, 6, 9, and 1 at 380, 390, and 400 nm after 6 and 12 hours, the relationship for all resin compositions was as follows: compound 2(Ph-tBu) / organic resin < compound 6(Ph-iPr) / organic resin < compound 9(Ph-Me) / organic resin < compound 1(Ph) / organic resin (for example, polymethacrylate methyl resin, 400 nm, after 6 hours: compound 2:9.5 < compound 6:12.4 < compound 9:18.1 < compound 1:18.4). In other words, organic resin compositions of compounds having a linear or branched alkyl group on an aryl ring group (phenyl residue) exhibited superior light resistance, and among these, the iPr group with 3 carbon atoms and the tBu group with 4 carbon atoms exhibited superior heat resistance compared to the methyl group with 1 carbon atom, and furthermore, the organic resin compositions with the tBu group with 4 carbon atoms exhibited superior heat resistance compared to the iPr group with 3 carbon atoms.

[0365] The rate of change of ΔTuv (ΔTuv(12h) / ΔTuv(6h)) was calculated from ΔTuv(6h) after 6h and ΔTuv(12h) after 12h, and is shown in Table 9. The rate of change of the resin compositions with UV absorber / polymethyl methacrylate resin and UV absorber / polycarbonate was smaller than that of the UV absorber / acrylic melamine resin in thermosetting resins, indicating superior heat resistance.

[0366] 7. Evaluation of lightfastness of glass containing an inorganic (vitreous) UV shielding film. <1> Preparation of lightfastness evaluation samples Compounds 2, 6, 7, 9, 16, 19, and 21, which are ultraviolet absorbers of the present invention, and compound 22 (TINUVIN360, 2,2'-methylenebis[6-(benzotriazol-2-yl)-4-tert-octylphenol], manufactured by Ciba Specialty Chemicals, Inc.) of Comparative Example 2 were mixed with zirconia beads using a paint conditioner and pulverized to obtain fine particles with an average particle size of 100 nm. A 10% by mass aqueous dispersion of UV absorber microparticles was mixed and stirred with pure water, ethyl alcohol, tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS; 3-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane) as a silane coupling agent, triethylene glycol (TEG) as a polyol compound, a polyether phosphate polymer (Solspers 41000, manufactured by Lubrizol Japan) as a polyether compound, an ITO microparticle dispersion (ethyl alcohol solution containing 40% by mass of ITO microparticles; manufactured by Mitsubishi Materials; average particle size (nominal) 100 nm or less), and concentrated hydrochloric acid (35% by mass) to obtain a film-forming solution for UV shielding. The film-forming solution was prepared so that the concentration (content) of each component was as shown in Table 10. Compound 23 of Comparative Example 3 (Uvinul 3050, 2,2',4,4'-tetrahydroxybenzophenone, manufactured by BASF Japan Ltd.) was dissolved in ethyl alcohol beforehand and added to the film-forming solution. TEG and solspers correspond to organic compound C. In some examples, sorbitol polyglycidyl ether (Denacol EX-614, manufactured by Nagase ChemteX Corporation) was used as organic compound C. Sorbitol polyglycidyl ether is a polyepoxy compound, and in the film it becomes a polyol compound having a hydroxyl group generated by the reaction of the glycidyl group. However, in Examples 52 to 54, the oven temperature in the heating and drying process was set to 180°C, which is higher than the melting point of organic compound A, so organic compound A dissolved and was added to the film. Next, this forming solution was applied to a washed soda lime silicate glass substrate (commercially available UV-cut green glass, 100 x 100 mm, 3.1 mm thick) by flow coating at 30% humidity and room temperature.After drying at room temperature for about 5 minutes, the glass was placed in an oven preheated to the oven temperature shown in Table 10 and heated for 15 minutes, then cooled to form an ultraviolet shielding film. Table 10 shows the relationship between the temperature of the film-coated glass and the melting point of the ultraviolet absorber during this heating process. In Examples 41-51, 55, 56, and Comparative Example 2, the temperature of the film-coated glass was lower than the melting point of the ultraviolet absorber, and in this heating process, the temperature of the film-coated glass never exceeded the melting point of the ultraviolet absorber. The UV-cut green glass used had a light transmittance of 40% at a wavelength of 380 nm (T380) and a light transmittance of 77% at a wavelength of 550 nm (T550). This UV-cut green glass contains approximately 0.9% by mass of total iron oxide converted to Fe2O3. In Examples 52-54, the oven temperature during the heating and drying process was set to 180°C, which was higher than the melting point of the ultraviolet absorber, causing the ultraviolet absorber to dissolve and be added to the film. In Comparative Example 2, the ethyl alcohol solution was added to the film-forming solution, so the ultraviolet absorber dissolved and was added to the film.

[0367] [Table 10]

[0368] <2> Optical properties evaluation Optical properties were measured using a spectrophotometer (Shimadzu Corporation, UV-3100PC). The measured properties were the visible light transmittance Tvis according to JIS R3212, measured using a CIE standard A light source, and the ultraviolet transmittance Tvis calculated according to ISO 9050 (1990 edition).

UV irradiation device (EYE SUPER UV TESTER SUV-W13) at a wavelength of 295-450 nm and an illuminance of 76 mW / cm². 2 The test was conducted by applying conditions of a black panel temperature of 83°C and humidity of 50% RH, and irradiating the glass with the UV-shielding film from the side without the glass film for a predetermined time (100 hours). The optical properties (YA, T) after the UV irradiation test were then measured. UV 400) was measured, and the changes (ΔYA, ΔT) before and after the test were measured. UV 400) was calculated.

[0370] In the optical properties shown in Table 11, the glasses of Examples 41 to 56 using the UV absorber of the present invention all exhibited good adhesion, high transparency, and T UV 380 is less than 0.3%, T UV 400 is less than 1%, blue light cut rate is less than 40%, L * a * b * a color system * If -9 or more and -8 or less, b * The value is between 5 and 9, and it has optical properties of yellowness YI of 10 or less, and in terms of light resistance, the rate of change in transmittance after ultraviolet irradiation test (T UVThe change rate (400) was 20 or less, and in particular, the UV absorber having a thiophenyl ring group showed a change rate of less than 6. Furthermore, in the comparison of the change rates of UV transmittance in Table 1A and Table 11, in Example 47, where compound 2 was added to a glassy UV shielding film, the change rate was lower than in Example 2, where it was added to a resin film. From these results, it is suggested that the UV absorber of the present invention is suitable for use in a glassy UV shielding film in order to maintain the UV shielding effect for a long period of time. UV region light resistance (change rate of transmittance: T UV 400) Compared with similar compounds, the thioaryl group (-SX) represented by formula (1) in [IV] 1a -(R 1a ) l Compounds 2, 6, 9, and 7, which have ), showed a smaller rate of change than compounds 19 and 21, which have thioalkyl groups, suggesting that the thioaryl group contributes to lightfastness. Among the compounds having thioaryl groups, R 1a However, compounds with 3 to 8 carbon atoms (and those with tertiary and / or quaternary carbon atoms) exhibited superior lightfastness.

[0371] Compared to Comparative Example 2, the T is lower. UV 400 was not obtained, and T was lower than in Comparative Example 3. UV 400 was obtained, but the yellowness YI was high. On the other hand, in each embodiment, while suppressing significant yellow coloration, T UV We were able to reduce 400. Furthermore, from a comparison between Examples 41-42 and Examples 52-53, it was confirmed that adding organic compound A as fine particles improved the light resistance of the film. In addition, when using organic compound A, such as compounds 2, 6, and 7, which have a thioaryl ring group to which a branched linear alkyl group is connected as a substituent on the hydrogen atom, the ΔT of these compounds alone was reduced. UV 400 is not significantly superior, yet the film's ΔT UV We were able to sufficiently suppress the 400.

[0372] 8. Evaluation of the transparency and optical properties of glass containing an organic material UV shielding film. <1> Preparation of lightfastness evaluation samples In a chloroform solution of 2.5 wt% polymethyl methacrylate resin (Tokyo Chemical Industries), compounds 1, 2, 9, and 19, which are ultraviolet absorbers of the present invention, and compound 24 of Comparative Example 4 were dissolved at a concentration of 10 wt% relative to the acrylic resin. 1 ml of this solution was then dropped onto glass (micro slide glass S1112, manufactured by Matsunami Glass Industry Co., Ltd.), and a film was formed using a spin coater (closed spin coater ACT-300AII, manufactured by Active Co., Ltd.) by holding at 1500 rpm for 20 seconds to obtain an evaluation sample of glass containing an ultraviolet shielding film. <2> Evaluation of appearance and optical properties The obtained evaluation samples were visually inspected, and the ultraviolet-visible transmission spectra were measured using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer (Hitachi UH4150), with the ultraviolet transmittance at 380, 390, and 400 nm read. Furthermore, the absolute value of the slope on the longer wavelength side of the absorption peak in the 350-390 nm wavelength range was recorded as described in 1. <1> It was calculated using the same method as before.

[0373] [Table 12]

[0374] Regarding the appearance shown in Table 12, in Examples 57-60, even under conditions where the UV absorber concentration relative to the resin was high at 10 wt%, the UV absorber and glass showed good affinity and adhesion between the glass and the UV shielding film, resulting in a transparent appearance of the glass containing the UV shielding film. Furthermore, the glass containing the UV shielding film in the Examples showed lower transmittance in the 380-400 nm range than the glass in Comparative Example 4, confirming superior long-wavelength absorption. In addition, the absolute value of the slope of the absorption peak of the glass containing the UV shielding film in the Examples was greater than that of the Comparative Example, suggesting a yellow suppression effect.
