Abstract
Description
Coating agent, laminate, and article comprising the laminate
[0001] The present invention relates to a coating agent used for surface protection or surface design modification of articles that are primarily used outdoors, and to a laminate obtained by using this coating agent.
[0002] Since articles used outdoors are exposed to ultraviolet rays, wind and rain, and are prone to deterioration and scratches, extremely strict weather resistance is required for films used to protect the surfaces of articles. For example, when attached to the body or headlights of an automobile, the protective film itself must maintain transparency for a long period of time from the viewpoint of visibility under light irradiation and safety. To solve these problems, a protective film has been disclosed that can be easily attached to plastics whose transparency has been reduced due to aging, weathering, etc. (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
[0003] However, even when the protective film is used, there is a problem that the surface of the film is deteriorated, resulting in a decrease in gloss, color, transparency, and the like.
[0004] International Publication No. 2017 / 047600
[0005] In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to obtain a laminate such as a protective film that has excellent weather resistance.
[0006] The present inventors have conducted extensive research to solve the above problems, and as a result have found that a coating agent can be obtained that maintains the color and transparency of a laminate even when exposed to ultraviolet light or wind and rain, i.e., provides a laminate with excellent weather resistance, by using a di(meth)acrylate (DDDA) and a polyfunctional (meth)acrylate having a dimer acid skeleton with highly hydrophobic properties as resin components of the coating agent and adding a light stabilizer with a specific structure to the coating agent, and thus completed the present invention.
[0007] The coating agent according to a first aspect of the present invention contains a dimer acid di(meth)acrylate resin, a polyfunctional (meth)acrylate compound, a photopolymerization initiator, and a light stabilizer represented by formula (1). (In formula (1), n is an integer of 4 to 12, each R is independently alkyl having 1 to 5 carbon atoms or alkoxy having 4 to 10 carbon atoms, and Me is methyl.
[0008] A coating agent according to a second aspect of the present invention is the coating agent according to the first aspect of the present invention, further comprising an ultraviolet absorber.
[0009] A coating agent according to a third aspect of the present invention is the coating agent according to the first or second aspect of the present invention, wherein the polyfunctional (meth)acrylate compounds are trifunctional acrylate compounds.
[0010] The laminate 10 according to the fourth aspect of the present invention comprises a substrate layer and a coating layer formed on the substrate layer using the coating agent according to any one of the first to third aspects of the present invention. This configuration results in a laminate with significantly improved weather resistance. In this specification, "on the surface side" means that the laminate may be laminated in contact with the substrate or may be laminated via another layer. "On the surface" means that the laminate is laminated in contact with the substrate.
[0011] A laminate 10 according to a fifth aspect of the present invention comprises a coating layer formed on a substrate layer using the coating agent according to any one of the first to third aspects of the present invention, the coating layer being made of a cured product of the coating agent, and a substrate layer formed using thermoplastic polyurethane.
[0012] The laminate 10 according to the sixth aspect of the present invention comprises: a coating layer formed on a substrate layer using the coating agent according to any one of the first to third aspects of the present invention; a substrate layer formed using thermoplastic polyurethane; and an adhesive layer formed on the surface of the substrate layer opposite to the surface on which the coating layer is formed using at least one resin selected from acrylic, urethane, rubber, and silicone resins.
[0013] The laminate 10 according to the seventh aspect of the present invention is the coating agent according to any one of the fourth to sixth aspects of the present invention, which further contains at least one reactive silicone compound selected from the group consisting of siloxanes having acryloyl groups at both ends or one end.
[0014] The laminate 10 according to the eighth aspect of the present invention is the coating agent according to any one of the fourth to seventh aspects of the present invention, which further contains at least one fluorine compound selected from the group consisting of fluorosilsesquioxane monomers and fluorosilsesquioxane polymers.
[0015] In the laminate 10 according to the ninth aspect of the present invention, the fluorosilsesquioxane polymer described in the eighth aspect of the present invention is an addition polymer of a fluorosilsesquioxane monomer having at least one addition polymerizable functional group, or an addition copolymer of a fluorosilsesquioxane monomer having one addition polymerizable functional group and an addition polymerizable monomer.
[0016] An article according to a tenth aspect of the present invention is an article in which the laminate 10 according to any one of the sixth to ninth aspects of the present invention is attached to a surface by the adhesive layer.
[0017] By using the coating agent of the present invention on the surface of a substrate layer to form a coating layer that functions as a protective layer, a laminate can be obtained that does not develop appearance defects such as cracks even when exposed to ultraviolet rays, wind and rain, and can exhibit excellent weather resistance.
[0018] The laminate of the present invention has excellent weather resistance due to the coating layer. Furthermore, by attaching the laminate of the present invention to the surface of an article such as an adherend (an object to be attached), the surface of the article can be protected.
[0019] FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing the layer structure of a laminate 10 according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
[0020] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, identical or similar reference numerals are used to designate identical or corresponding parts, and redundant explanations will be omitted. Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0021] [Coating Agent] The coating agent according to the first embodiment of the present invention contains a dimer acid di(meth)acrylate resin, polyfunctional (meth)acrylate compounds, a photopolymerization initiator, and a light stabilizer represented by formula (1). For example, as shown in FIG. 1 , by applying the coating agent to a substrate layer 11 and curing it, a coating layer 12 with excellent acid resistance and elongation can be formed, resulting in a laminate with excellent weather resistance. The coating agent may further contain an ultraviolet absorber, and may also contain a fluorine compound or a reactive silicone compound as an antifouling agent. From the viewpoint of further improving weather resistance, it is preferable to contain an ultraviolet absorber. From the viewpoint of improving the antifouling properties of the coating layer 12 and imparting excellent slip properties, it is preferable to contain an antifouling agent. The coating agent may further contain a solvent and an additive. Of the components contained in the coating agent, the dimer acid di(meth)acrylate resin, polyfunctional (meth)acrylate compounds, and photopolymerization initiator are sometimes referred to as curable components.
[0022] 1, the laminate 10 according to the second embodiment of the present invention includes a base layer 11 having a coating layer 12, and an adhesive layer 13. The laminate 10 preferably includes a release film 14 during production, but the release film 14 is peeled off when the laminate 10 is attached to the surface of an adherend.
[0023] [Coating Layer 12] The coating layer 12 is formed by applying a coating agent containing a dimer acid di(meth)acrylate resin, polyfunctional (meth)acrylate compounds, a photopolymerization initiator, and a light stabilizer represented by formula (1), optionally containing an ultraviolet absorber, a reactive silicone compound, and a fluorine compound antifouling agent, to the surface of the substrate layer 11, followed by drying and curing. When a reactive silicone compound and a fluorine compound are contained, the silicone and fluorine contained in the reactive silicone compound and the fluorine compound accumulate at the interface with the air in the coating layer 12. The thickness of the coating layer 12 is typically 0.5 to 100 μm, preferably 0.5 to 50 μm, more preferably 0.5 to 30 μm, and particularly preferably 1 to 5 μm. A thickness of 0.5 μm or more of the coating layer 12 provides sufficient acid resistance, while a thickness of 100 μm or less provides sufficient elongation without the laminate becoming too thick.
[0024] [Coating Method of Coating Agent] A wet coating method that uniformly coats the coating agent is preferably used for coating. Examples of wet coating methods that can be used include gravure coating and die coating. The gravure coating method involves immersing a gravure roll with a textured surface in a coating solution, scraping off the coating agent adhering to the textured areas of the gravure roll with a doctor blade, and allowing the solution to accumulate in the textured areas, allowing it to be accurately measured and transferred to the substrate layer. The gravure coating method allows for a thin coating of a low-viscosity solution. The die coating method involves applying pressure to the solution by extruding it from a coating head called a die. The die coating method enables high-precision coating. Furthermore, because the solution is not exposed to the air during application, changes in the concentration of the coating agent due to drying are less likely to occur. Other wet coating methods include spin coating, bar coating, reverse coating, roll coating, slit coating, dipping, spray coating, kiss coating, reverse kiss coating, air knife coating, curtain coating, and rod coating. The coating method can be appropriately selected from these methods depending on the required film thickness. Furthermore, by using a wet coating method, coating can be performed at a line speed of several tens of meters per minute (e.g., about 20 m / min), which allows for mass production and improves production efficiency.
[0025] [Substrate Layer 11] The substrate layer 11 constituting the laminate of the present invention is preferably a film formed of a thermoplastic resin. Examples of thermoplastic resins include polyurethane resins, polyester resins, acetate resins, polyethersulfone resins, polycarbonate resins, polyamide resins, polyimide resins, polyolefin resins, (meth)acrylic resins, polyvinyl chloride resins, polyvinylidene chloride resins, polystyrene resins, polyvinyl alcohol resins, polyarylate resins, polyphenylene sulfide resins, and norbornene resins. Specifically, thermoplastic polyurethane, polycaprolactone (PCL), acrylic acid polymer, polyester, polyacrylonitrile, polyether ketone, polystyrene, polyvinyl acetate, or derivatives thereof are preferred. These resins may be used alone or in combination. The substrate layer 11 is preferably formed using thermoplastic polyurethane.

[0026] The thickness of the substrate layer 11 is not particularly limited, but is typically 25 to 300 μm, preferably 100 to 200 μm, and more preferably 100 to 150 μm. If the thickness of the substrate layer 11 is 25 μm or more, the substrate layer has sufficient mechanical strength, making it possible to form a layer on the substrate layer. Furthermore, if the thickness is 300 μm or less, the thickness of the laminate will not be too large.

The fluorosilsesquioxane monomer may be any fluorosilsesquioxane monomer as long as it has the property of easily accumulating at the interface between air and a solid (or liquid) in a hydrophobic atmosphere (for example, in air). Furthermore, the effects of the present invention can be fully achieved as long as the fluorosilsesquioxane monomer accumulates at the interface.

[0034]

[0036] Although the above formula (2) illustrates a fluorosilsesquioxane monomer having "3-(methacryloyloxy)propyl" at one Si, the polymerizable functional group is not limited to this. For example, when the position of "3-(methacryloyloxy)propyl" is designated as Z, this position can be replaced with another functional group. Specifically, Z can be hydrogen, a hydroxyl group, an alkenyl, or a halogen (chlorine, bromine, iodine), an alkoxy, a phenoxy, a polyalkyleneoxy, -COOH, 2-oxapropane-1,3-dioyl, an alkoxycarbonyl, an alkenyloxycarbonyl, an oxiranyl, a 3,4-epoxycyclohexyl, an oxetanyl, an oxetanylene, -NH-, -NH 2 , —CN, —NCO, alkynyl, cycloalkenyl, acryloyloxy, methacryloyloxy, urethane acryloyl, urethane methacryloyl, —SH and —PH 2 Furthermore, Z may be any of the above groups (hydrogen to -PH 2 ) may also be used. The alkylene bonded to Si is not particularly limited, but is preferably an alkylene having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and particularly preferably propylene having 3 carbon atoms. However, the selection range does not include groups having an alkanoyloxy group, groups having a sulfonyl halide, and groups having an α-haloester group. Particularly preferred is a fluorosilsesquioxane monomer having at least two polymerizable functional groups bonded to Si. For example, while the above formula (2) illustrates a fluorosilsesquioxane monomer having "3-(methacryloyloxy)propyl" on one Si, it is more preferred to use a fluorosilsesquioxane monomer having this "3-(methacryloyloxy)propyl" on at least one other Si. Furthermore, the polymerizable functional group is preferably a radically polymerizable functional group.
[0037] Fluorosilsesquioxane Polymer In the present invention, the fluorosilsesquioxane polymer is an oligomer, prepolymer, or polymer of a fluorosilsesquioxane monomer and has at least one polymerizable functional group. Since the fluorosilsesquioxane polymer has at least one polymerizable functional group, it corresponds to a so-called macromonomer or macromer. When only one type of fluorosilsesquioxane monomer is used, the fluorosilsesquioxane polymer can be a fluorosilsesquioxane homopolymer. It can also be a copolymer with other common monomers (e.g., addition-polymerizable monomers). A copolymer of fluorosilsesquioxane monomers having different polymerizable functional groups may also be used. In this case, any known polymerization method can be used. However, the fluorosilsesquioxane polymer after polymerization has at least one polymerizable functional group. Furthermore, the polymerizable functional group is preferably a radically polymerizable functional group.
[0038] That is, the fluorosilsesquioxane monomer of the above formula (2) may have an addition-polymerizable functional group as Z. Alternatively, Z may have an addition-polymerizable functional group connected via an alkylene. Examples of the addition-polymerizable functional group include groups having a terminal olefin-type or internal olefin-type radically polymerizable functional group; groups having a cationically polymerizable functional group such as vinyl ether or propenyl ether; and groups having an anionically polymerizable functional group such as vinyl carboxyl or cyanoacryloyl, with radically polymerizable functional groups being preferred.

[0058] [Solvent] The dimer acid di(meth)acrylate resin, polyfunctional (meth)acrylate compounds, photopolymerization initiator, light stabilizer (1), UV absorber (if necessary), and fluorine compound contained in the coating agent of the present invention may be dissolved in a solvent such as an organic solvent. The solvent is not particularly limited. Common organic solvents can be used. Examples of the solvent include hydrocarbon solvents (benzene, toluene, etc.), ether solvents (diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran (THF), diphenyl ether, anisole, dimethoxybenzene, etc.), halogenated hydrocarbon solvents (methylene chloride, chloroform, chlorobenzene, etc.), ketone solvents (acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, etc.), alcohol solvents (methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butyl alcohol, t-butyl alcohol, etc.), nitrile solvents (acetonitrile, propionitrile, benzonitrile, etc.), ester solvents (ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, methyl 2-hydroxyisobutyrate, etc.), carbonate solvents (ethylene carbonate, ester, propylene carbonate, etc.), amide solvents (N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide), hydrochlorofluorocarbon solvents (HCFC-141b, HCFC-225), hydrofluorocarbon (HFCs) solvents (HFCs having 2 to 4, 5, and 6 or more carbon atoms), perfluorocarbon solvents (perfluoropentane, perfluorohexane), alicyclic hydrofluorocarbon solvents (fluorocyclopentane, fluorocyclobutane), oxygen-containing fluorine-containing solvents (fluoroethers, fluoropolyethers, fluoroketones, fluoroalcohols), aromatic fluorine-containing solvents (α,α,α-trifluorotoluene, hexafluorobenzene), and water.

Adding a solvent such as methyl ethyl ketone can improve the workability of homogenizing the solution during the preparation of the coating agent. Furthermore, improved solubility can stabilize the coating agent. The mixing ratio (by weight) can be, for example, methyl isobutyl ketone / methyl ethyl ketone = 1 to 99 / 99 to 1, preferably 20 to 80 / 80 to 20. The content of the solvent used as a diluent is preferably 20 to 500 parts by weight, more preferably 50 to 400 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of the total amount of the curable components, fluorine compound, and reactive silicone compound of the coating agent that forms the coating layer.

[0069] [Curing Method] Examples of curing treatments for curing the coating agent include ultraviolet irradiation, heating, and electron beam irradiation. When the coating film contains a solvent, it is generally preferable to heat the coating film at a temperature in the range of 70 to 200°C for several tens of minutes to remove any remaining solvent from the coating film before carrying out the curing treatment. For curing by ultraviolet irradiation, the coating liquid may be irradiated with ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 200 to 400 nm from a UV lamp (e.g., a high-pressure mercury lamp, an ultra-high-pressure mercury lamp, a metal halide lamp, or a high-power metal halide lamp) for a short period of time (several seconds to several tens of seconds). For curing by electron beam irradiation, the coating liquid may be irradiated with a low-energy electron beam from a self-shielded low-energy electron accelerator of 300 keV or less.

[0080] [Production of Fluorosilsesquioxane Polymer Containing γ-Methacryloxypropylhepta(trifluoropropyl)-T8-silsesquioxane Units, a Fluorine Compound] First, γ-methacryloxypropylhepta(trifluoropropyl)-T8-silsesquioxane was synthesized according to the following procedure. Trifluoropropyltrimethoxysilane (100 g), THF (500 mL), deionized water (10.5 g), and sodium hydroxide (7.9 g) were charged into a 1 L four-neck flask equipped with a reflux condenser, thermometer, and dropping funnel. The mixture was heated in an oil bath from room temperature to the temperature at which the THF refluxed while stirring with a magnetic stirrer. Stirring was continued for 5 hours from the start of reflux to complete the reaction. The flask was then removed from the oil bath and allowed to stand at room temperature overnight. After that, the mixture was placed back into the oil bath and heated and concentrated at constant pressure until a solid precipitated. The precipitated product was collected by filtration using a pressure filter equipped with a 0.5 μm pore size membrane filter. The resulting solid was then washed once with THF and dried in a vacuum dryer at 80°C for 3 hours, yielding 74 g of a colorless, powdery solid. The resulting solid (65 g), dichloromethane (491 g), and triethylamine (8.1 g) were placed in a 1 L four-neck flask equipped with a reflux condenser, a thermometer, and a dropping funnel, and cooled to 3°C in an ice bath. γ-Methacryloxypropyltrichlorosilane (21.2 g) was then added, and after confirming that the heat generation had subsided, the flask was removed from the ice bath and allowed to age overnight at room temperature. After washing three times with deionized water, the dichloromethane layer was dehydrated with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the magnesium sulfate was removed by filtration. The mixture was concentrated using a rotary evaporator until a viscous solid precipitated, and 260 g of methanol was added and stirred until a powder was obtained. The powder was filtered using a pressure filter equipped with filter paper having a retention particle size of 5 μm, and then dried in a vacuum dryer at 65° C. for 3 hours to obtain 41.5 g of a colorless powdery solid. 1 H-NMR measurement was carried out, and the production of γ-methacryloxypropylhepta(trifluoropropyl)-T8-silsesquioxane (5) represented by the following formula (5) was confirmed.

Then, a solution of azobisisobutyronitrile (0.48 g) and mercaptoacetic acid (0.054 g) dissolved in methyl ethyl ketone (4.8 g) was added to initiate polymerization. Three hours after the start of polymerization, azobisisobutyronitrile (0.48 g) was dissolved in methyl ethyl ketone (4.3 g) and added, and the mixture was aged for 5 hours to obtain a copolymer solution. Furthermore, paramethoxyphenol (0.16 g) and dibutyltin dilaurate (0.15 g, manufactured by Resonac Co., Ltd.) were dissolved in methyl ethyl ketone (1.5 g) as polymerization inhibitors and added, followed by dropwise addition of Karenz AOI (acryloyloxyethyl isocyanate, 26.4 g, manufactured by Resonac Co., Ltd.) using a dropping funnel so that the liquid temperature was 35 to 50°C, and the mixture was aged at 45°C for 3 hours after the dropwise addition. Methanol (9 g) was then added and treated, followed by the addition of paramethoxyphenol (0.16 g). This was then diluted with methyl isobutyl ketone (107.3 g) to obtain a 30 wt% solution of the target fluorosilsesquioxane polymer containing γ-methacryloxypropylhepta(trifluoropropyl)-T8-silsesquioxane units and having acryloyl groups in its side chains (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as "XUA008"). The resulting XUA008 had a weight-average molecular weight of Mw 42,000 and a polydispersity index of Mw / Mn 1.9.The weight-average molecular weight and polydispersity index were measured using gel permeation chromatography (GPC, model number: Alliance 2695, manufactured by Waters Corporation; column: Shodex GPC KF-804L x 2 (in series), manufactured by Resonac Corporation; guard column: KF-G, manufactured by Resonac Corporation).

[0097] Examples 1 to 7, Comparative Examples 1 to 5 Preparation of Laminates A commercially available acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive (Avery Dennison, product name: S8721) was applied by die coating to one side of a substrate layer (thermoplastic polyurethane film manufactured by Argotec, product name "ARGOGUARD49510") and dried at 70°C for 3 minutes. In this way, a 40 μm thick adhesive layer was formed on one side of the substrate layer. Next, the open surface of the adhesive layer was pressed against a 75 μm thick polyethylene terephthalate film (release film: release liner) that had been release-treated with a silicone resin using a rubber roller, and the resulting film was aged at 45°C for 1 day. In this way, laminates A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, and L were obtained, each having the substrate layer, adhesive layer, and release film bonded together in this order. Photopolymerizable coating agents A0, B0, C0, D0, E0, F0, G0, H0, I0, J0, K0, and L0 were applied to the open surface of the substrate layer using a wire bar coater No. 12 manufactured by R.D.S. Webster, and dried at 80°C for 3 minutes. Thereafter, a Fusion UV lamp-equipped belt conveyor curing unit (manufactured by Heraeus) was used to apply the coatings at an integrated light dose of 500 mJ / cm. 2The coating agent was cured by heating at 400°C for 1 hour. In this manner, a coating layer having a thickness of 0.5 to 5.0 μm was formed on the substrate layer, and laminates (Examples 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, Comparative Examples 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) in which the coating layer, substrate layer, adhesive layer, and release film layer were contacted in this order were obtained.
[0098] [Weather resistance test of laminate] The laminate was used to test the laminate in an accelerated weather resistance tester "Super Xenon Weather Meter SX75Z" manufactured by Suga Test Instruments Co., Ltd. (lamp: 7.5 kW xenon lamp, irradiance: 180 W / m 2 An accelerated weather resistance test was carried out under the following conditions: black panel temperature: 63°C; test conditions: UV irradiation (irradiation + water spray (18 minutes) → irradiation only (102 minutes) 1 cycle repeated for 2 hours); and the total light transmittance (%), haze, and color were measured before and after 2000 hours of the accelerated weather resistance test.
[0099] [Evaluation of Laminate] The laminate obtained was evaluated before and after the accelerated weather resistance test from the following viewpoints. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0100] 1) Total Light Transmittance (%) As an index of the transparency of the laminate, the total light transmittance was measured in accordance with JIS K 7361-1 using a haze meter (NDH-5000SP, product name, manufactured by Nippon Denshoku Industries Co., Ltd.) The release film of the laminate was peeled off before the accelerated weather resistance test and after 2000 hours of the accelerated weather resistance test, and the laminate was attached to a polycarbonate resin plate (manufactured by Teijin Limited, product name: Panlite PC-1151, thickness 2.0 mm) via the adhesive layer, and the measurement was performed in this state.
[0101] 2) Haze As an index of the transparency of the laminate, haze was measured in accordance with the standard of JIS K 7361-1 using a haze meter (NDH-5000SP, product name, manufactured by Nippon Denshoku Industries Co., Ltd.) The release film of the laminate was peeled off before the accelerated weather resistance test and after 2000 hours of the accelerated weather resistance test, and the measurement was carried out in a state where the target laminate was attached to a polycarbonate resin plate (manufactured by Teijin Limited, product name: Panlite PC-1151, thickness 2.0 mm) via the adhesive layer.
[0102] 3) Color As an index of the color of the laminate, a spectrophotometer / colorimeter (SD 7000, product name of Nippon Denshoku Industries Co., Ltd.) was used in accordance with the standard of JIS Z 8729 to measure the color of the laminate. * The release film of the laminate was peeled off before the accelerated weather resistance test and after 2000 hours of the accelerated weather resistance test, and the measurement was carried out in a state where the laminate was attached to a polycarbonate resin plate (trade name: Panlite PC-1151, manufactured by Teijin Limited, thickness 2.0 mm) via the adhesive layer.
[0103]
[0104] As shown in Table 1, the laminates produced in Examples 1 to 7, which used TINUVIN 292 as the light stabilizer represented by formula (1), showed small differences in total light transmittance (%), haze, and color before and after the accelerated weather resistance test, i.e., excellent weather resistance was obtained.
[0105] On the other hand, as shown in Table 1, the laminates produced in Comparative Examples 1 to 5 did not use the light stabilizer represented by formula (1), and therefore showed large differences in haze and color before and after the accelerated weather resistance test.
[0106] The laminate of the present invention has excellent weather resistance and can be used for outdoor applications, including vehicles such as automobiles, motorcycles, and trains, as well as ships, windows, digital signage, and outdoor touch panels. It can also be used indoors, protecting floorboards, kitchen and bathroom walls, packaging, and office supplies. Additionally, the surface of the protected article can be made smooth, improving its design.
