Abstract
Description
Active energy ray curable composition, laminate, and method for producing laminate
[0001] The present invention relates to an active energy ray-curable composition, a laminate, and a method for producing the laminate.
[0002] Resin materials, particularly transparent resin materials such as polycarbonate, are widely used in a variety of applications, taking advantage of their low specific gravity, light weight, ease of processing, and impact resistance compared to inorganic glass. Furthermore, resin primers are often applied to glass and metal steel sheets for the purposes of coloring, rust prevention, and adhesion to other materials. However, resin materials and resin primers have drawbacks, such as surface scratches that easily cause loss of gloss and transparency, susceptibility to organic solvents, poor weather resistance (e.g., light stability against ultraviolet rays), and poor heat resistance. Therefore, resin materials are often coated with various protective films to improve their surface properties. Examples of such protective films include hard coat layers formed by curing active energy ray-curable compositions.
[0003] Resin materials used outdoors require excellent weather resistance. Patent Document 1 discloses an active energy ray-curable composition that combines adhesion, abrasion resistance, and weather resistance, which contains inorganic oxide fine particles, a poly[(meth)acryloyloxyalkyl]isocyanurate having at least two (meth)acryloyl groups in the molecule, a urethane poly(meth)acrylate having at least two (meth)acryloyl groups in one molecule and an alicyclic skeleton, an alkyl di(meth)acrylate having 4 to 12 carbon atoms, and a photopolymerization initiator in specific ratios.
[0004] JP 2013-10921 A
[0005] In recent years, resin materials, resin primers, and active energy ray-curable compositions that can be used in harsh environments such as outdoors or around automobiles have come to require not only weather resistance and abrasion resistance, but also resistance to acid rain and automobile battery fluid, i.e., excellent chemical resistance. However, the invention described in Patent Document 1 does not address chemical resistance. Furthermore, the composition described in Patent Document 1 contains organic monomers that are highly corrosive to substrates, such as alkyl di(meth)acrylates having 4 to 12 carbon atoms. Therefore, when using resin substrates such as polycarbonates, which are susceptible to corrosion, or various resin primers, these can be excessively corroded, resulting in poor appearance and poor weather resistance of the coating film. Therefore, the invention described in Patent Document 1 did not address both the issues of chemical resistance and weather resistance and could not form coatings or cured films with good appearance.
[0006] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an active energy ray-curable composition capable of forming a cured coating film or cured layer that has weather resistance and chemical resistance and excellent appearance, as well as a laminate having the cured layer, and a method for producing the laminate.
[0007] As a result of extensive research, the present inventors have found that the above-mentioned problems can be solved by using an alkane di(meth)acrylate compound, which is effective in improving adhesion and weather resistance, in combination with a compound having an isocyanurate bond or an allophanate bond, which can suppress the corrosion of the alkane di(meth)acrylate against resin substrates and resin primers, and have thus completed the present invention.
[0008] That is, the present invention provides the following inventions. (1) An active energy ray-curable composition characterized by containing a compound (A) consisting of a chain hydrocarbon group having 2 to 12 carbon atoms and two (meth)acryloyloxy groups, and a compound having an isocyanurate bond or an allophanate bond. (2) The active energy ray-curable composition of (1), in which the compound having an isocyanurate bond or an allophanate bond is a urethane (meth)acrylate compound (B) having an isocyanurate bond or an allophanate bond. (3) The active energy ray-curable composition of (2), further containing a (meth)acrylate compound (C) having an isocyanurate bond. (4) The active energy ray-curable composition of (2), in which the urethane (meth)acrylate compound (B) having an isocyanurate bond or an allophanate bond contains, in the structure, a —O—C(═O)—(CH 2 ) nA (nA represents an integer of 1 to 6), and a compound (B1) having, in the structure, —O—C(═O)—(CH 2 ) nA (nA represents an integer of 1 to 6). (5) The active energy ray-curable composition of any of (1) to (4), further containing a compound (D) containing four or more (meth)acryloyl groups in one molecule. (6) The active energy ray-curable composition of any of (1) to (5), wherein the active energy ray-curable composition does not contain an organic solvent or contains an organic solvent in an amount of 30 mass% or less of the total amount of the composition. (7) A laminate having a cured layer of the active energy ray-curable composition of any of (1) to (6). (8) A method for producing a laminate, comprising: Step 1: applying the active energy ray-curable composition of any of (1) to (6) onto a substrate to obtain a coating film; and Step 2: irradiating the coating film with active energy rays to cure part or all of the coating film. (9) The method for producing a laminate according to (8), wherein after step 2, steps 1 and 2 are repeated in this order at least once.
[0009] The active energy ray-curable composition of the present invention can form a cured coating having excellent chemical resistance and weather resistance and an excellent appearance while satisfying the properties required of a cured coating, such as adhesion and abrasion resistance. This cured coating has excellent adhesion to resin substrates such as polycarbonate and resin primers, and has excellent durability even in high-temperature, high-humidity environments and environments where it may come into contact with chemicals. Therefore, the active energy ray-curable composition of the present invention can be suitably used as a hard coat for resin materials in automotive and building material applications, and is particularly suitable for automotive exterior applications and automotive glazing applications.

[0086] The active energy ray-curable composition of the present invention can be suitably used as a cured coating for protecting a substrate by applying it to at least one surface of various materials and then irradiating it with active energy rays. The cured coating formed from the composition of the present invention has weather resistance and abrasion resistance, as well as high chemical resistance, and exhibits excellent adhesion to various materials even in harsh environments such as high temperature and humidity. Therefore, it exhibits excellent effects when used as a protective coating for materials used for long periods in harsh environments such as outdoors or around automobiles. Furthermore, the active energy ray-curable composition of the present invention has moderate substrate erosion properties and therefore particularly excellent adhesion to the substrate. Therefore, a highly adhesive coating can be formed on a coating formed by partially or completely curing the active energy ray-curable composition. Therefore, even if the thickness of the cured coating is insufficient after a single application and curing, repeated application and curing can form a thick cured coating with excellent durability.
[0087] <Laminate> The laminate of the present invention has a cured layer of the above-mentioned active energy ray-curable composition. The laminate may have one or more other layers in addition to the cured layer, and the other layers may include, for example, a substrate layer. Methods for producing the substrate and the laminate will be described later.
[0088] <Method for producing laminate> The method for producing a laminate of the present invention includes step 1 of applying the above-described active energy ray-curable composition onto a substrate to obtain a coating film, and step 2 of irradiating the coating film with active energy rays to cure a part or all of the coating film.
[0089] (Step 1) In step 1, the active energy ray-curable composition described above is applied to a substrate to obtain a coating film. The substrate is not particularly limited and may be selected appropriately depending on the application. Specific examples include plastic, wood, metal (steel, stainless steel, aluminum, etc.), metal oxide, paper, silicon, modified silicon, etc., and may be a substrate obtained by joining different materials, or a substrate on which the active energy ray-curable composition of the present invention or another composition is laminated as a primer. In particular, the active energy ray-curable composition of the present invention has excellent adhesion to plastic substrates (resin substrates) and resin primers. As described above, resin materials have drawbacks such as low abrasion resistance, which easily leads to loss of gloss and transparency, and poor weather resistance. However, these drawbacks can be improved by coating a plastic substrate or resin primer with the composition of the present invention. Therefore, a plastic substrate or a resin primer is preferred as the substrate for the laminate.
[0090] The plastic substrate is not particularly limited as long as it is made of resin and can be selected according to the purpose. Specifically, the above-mentioned thermosetting resins and thermoplastic resins can be used. When a transparent laminate is to be obtained, polycarbonate resins (e.g., aliphatic polycarbonates, aromatic polycarbonates, alicyclic polycarbonates, etc.), polymethyl methacrylate resins, polystyrene resins, etc. are preferably used. Furthermore, the plastic substrate may be made of a single resin or a blend of multiple resins, and may have a single layer or a laminate structure of two or more layers. Furthermore, the plastic substrate may contain known additives such as known antistatic agents, antifogging agents, antiblocking agents, ultraviolet absorbers, antioxidants, pigments, organic fillers, inorganic fillers, light stabilizers, crystal nucleating agents, and lubricants, and may be fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP).
[0091] The resin primer may be a known water-soluble or water-dispersed paint, an organic solvent-based or organic solvent-dispersed paint, or a powder paint. Specifically, various types of primers may be used, such as acrylic resin-based paints, polyester resin-based paints, alkyd resin-based paints, epoxy resin-based paints, fatty acid-modified epoxy resin-based paints, silicone resin-based paints, polyurethane resin-based paints, fluoroolefin-based paints, or amine-modified epoxy resin paints. The undercoat paint may be a clear paint that does not contain a pigment, an enamel-based paint that contains the pigment, or a metallic paint that contains aluminum flakes or the like. It may also be a paint used for electrodeposition paints, intermediate paints, topcoats, or precoats of metals used on automobile bodies.
[0092] The shape of the substrate is not particularly limited, and may be any shape depending on the purpose, such as a flat plate, a sheet, or a three-dimensional shape having a curvature (bending) over the entire surface or in part, etc. Furthermore, the hardness, thickness, etc. of the substrate are not particularly limited, and can be determined arbitrarily.
[0093] The method for applying the composition is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include inkjet coating, spray coating, spin coating, dipping, roll coating, blade coating, doctor roll coating, doctor blade coating, curtain coating, slit coating, and screen printing. A coating film can be obtained by applying the composition to a substrate using these methods. Furthermore, when the composition is to be recoated after curing, inkjet coating and spray coating are preferred from the viewpoint of coating technique.
[0094] (Step 2) In step 2, the coating film obtained in step 1 is irradiated with active energy rays to partially or completely cure the coating film. Since the composition of the present invention contains a compound having a polymerizable unsaturated group, it can be cured by irradiating with active energy rays to form a cured coating (cured layer). The entire coating film may be cured by a single irradiation to form a cured coating, or it may be cured by irradiating only a portion of the coating film, and then irradiating multiple times to gradually increase the degree of curing to finally form a cured coating. Furthermore, between multiple irradiations, an active energy ray-curable composition may be further applied from above.
[0095] Examples of active energy rays include ionizing radiation such as ultraviolet rays, electron beams, α-rays, β-rays, and γ-rays. Among these, ultraviolet rays (UV) are preferred from the standpoints of curability and convenience. When ultraviolet rays are used as active energy rays, examples of devices for irradiating the ultraviolet rays include low-pressure mercury lamps, high-pressure mercury lamps, ultra-high-pressure mercury lamps, metal halide lamps, electrodeless lamps (fusion lamps), chemical lamps, black light lamps, mercury-xenon lamps, short arc lamps, helium-cadmium lasers, argon lasers, sunlight, and LED lamps. By using these, a cured coating or cured product can be obtained by irradiating a coated or molded composition with ultraviolet rays having a wavelength of approximately 180 to 400 nm. The amount of ultraviolet radiation is appropriately selected depending on the type and amount of the photopolymerization initiator used.
[0096] After completion of step 2, steps 1 and 2 may be repeated in this order at least once. Repeating step 1 (application) and step 2 (curing) can thicken the cured coating. This method is useful when the thickness of the cured coating is insufficient after a single application and curing, due to the balance between the application method and the required coating thickness. Because the composition of the present invention has moderate substrate erosion properties, adhesion is not impaired even when a cured coating is formed on a coating made of the cured composition. Furthermore, to improve adhesion, the coating film can be left partially cured (semi-cured) rather than completely cured in step 2 during the intermediate stage. Leaving a portion uncured improves adhesion to the underlying layer. When only a portion of the coating film is cured, the degree of curing can be adjusted by adjusting the amount of active energy radiation irradiated.
[0097] The laminate of the present invention may further include a second substrate on the substrate and the cured layer. The material of the second substrate is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include wood, metal, metal oxide, plastic, paper, silicon, or modified silicon. It may also be a substrate obtained by bonding different materials. The shape of the substrate is not particularly limited, and it may be any shape depending on the purpose, such as a flat plate, a sheet, or a three-dimensional shape having curvature on the entire surface or in part. Furthermore, there are no limitations on the hardness, thickness, etc. of the substrate.
[0098] The laminate of the present invention can be preferably used as an interlayer material between different materials because the cured layer has high adhesion to both plastics and inorganic materials. It is particularly preferred that the substrate is plastic and the second substrate is an inorganic layer. Examples of inorganic layers include quartz, sapphire, glass, optical films, ceramic materials, inorganic oxides, vapor-deposited films (CVD, PVD, sputtering), magnetic films, reflective films, metals such as Ni, Cu, Cr, Fe, and stainless steel, paper, SOG (Spin On Glass), SOC (Spin On Carbon), plastic layers such as polyester, polycarbonate, and polyimide, TFT array substrates, PDP electrode plates, conductive substrates such as ITO and metals, insulating substrates, silicon substrates such as silicon, silicon nitride, polysilicon, silicon oxide, and amorphous silicon.
[0099] Furthermore, the cured layer of the present invention has excellent processability even after the active energy ray-curable composition has cured to form a cured layer, and therefore can be bent together with the substrate. For example, the composition can be directly applied to a flat substrate to obtain a coated substrate, and then the coating film can be irradiated with active energy rays to form a cured film-coated substrate (i.e., a laminate), and the cured film can still be bent. This eliminates the need for consideration when applying the composition to a curved substrate, significantly improving the productivity of bendable materials. Furthermore, the molded product of the present invention not only has excellent flexibility under heat, but also excellent hard coat properties after thermal bending. When bending is performed, the thickness of the coating film obtained by applying the composition of the present invention is preferably 0.5 to 40 μm, more preferably 3 to 35 μm, even more preferably 5 to 30 μm, and particularly preferably 10 to 25 μm. A thickness of at least the above lower limit ensures sufficient abrasion resistance and weather resistance, while a thickness of at most the above upper limit ensures good flexibility.
[0100] The bending method is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include bending the laminate directly, as well as press molding, free blow molding, vacuum molding, pressure molding, twin composite molding, etc. The temperature for the hot bending is preferably 80°C or higher, more preferably 150°C or higher. The upper limit temperature can be appropriately set below the melting temperature of the substrate.
[0101] The laminate of the present application is excellent in weather resistance, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, adhesion, and appearance, and therefore can be particularly suitably used as various protective materials. For example, it can be used for building materials, housing equipment, transportation equipment such as automobiles, ships, aircraft, and railways, electronic materials, recording materials, optical materials, lighting, packaging materials, protection of outdoor installations, optical fiber coating, and resin glass protection, and is particularly suitable for use in automobile headlamp lenses, automobile glazing, automobile body exteriors, plastic building materials, and steel sheet building materials.
