Composition for film formation, film, article, and method for forming film
[0001] The present invention relates to a composition for film formation, a film, an article, and a method for forming a film.
[0002] Conventionally, articles such as cooking utensils and food manufacturing equipment have problems in that oil, powder, etc. adhere to the surface due to heating or the like and are difficult to remove. In addition, if food easily adheres to the surface, there is a problem that it takes time to clean the dirt. Furthermore, powders derived from food and equipment generated in factories such as food require a better powder adhesion suppressing effect because the production efficiency and hygienic environment decrease when the powders remain adhered to the equipment.
[0003] In order to solve the above problems, a coating containing fluorine is applied to the surface of the article. However, in recent years, from the viewpoint of environmental problem improvement, the use of fluorine compounds is regulated (PFAS regulation), and there is a demand for the study of a fluorine-free composition for film formation as a substitute for a coating composition containing fluorine.
[0004] As a fluorine-free composition for film formation as a substitute for the above-mentioned coating composition containing fluorine, a method of coating a coating film mainly composed of ceramic particles has been proposed (see Patent Document 1).
[0005] However, in the method of forming a coating film mainly composed of ceramic particles described in Patent Document 1, the water and oil repellency, antifouling property, and non-stickiness required for cooking utensils and the like to suppress the adhesion of food and the like have not been sufficiently studied, and there is a problem that these properties are inferior.
[0006] In addition, articles such as cooking utensils may be poured with water, and may be heated, poured with hot water, or immersed in hot water. Therefore, the coating film formed on the surface of such cooking utensils and the like is required to have durability against heat and water such that the properties do not change and the film does not peel off from the surface of the article even in the above cases. In Patent Document 1, such durability against heat and water has not been studied, and there is a problem that the properties are inferior.
[0007] Therefore, there is a need for the development of a film-forming composition that can form a film with excellent water-repellent, oil-repellent, stain-resistant, and non-stick properties, as well as excellent durability against heat and water.
[0008] Publication No. 2016-93535

A method for forming a film, comprising: (1) step 1 of applying a film-forming composition to the surface of a substrate to form a film-forming composition layer; and (2) step 2 of heating the film-forming composition layer to form a film on the surface of the substrate, wherein the film-forming composition contains (A) a polymer having siloxane bonds, and (B) silicone oil.
[0012] The film-forming composition of the present invention can form a film that is excellent in water-repellent, oil-repellent, stain-resistant, and non-stick properties, as well as excellent in heat and water resistance. Furthermore, the film of the present invention is excellent in water-repellent, oil-repellent, stain-resistant, and non-stick properties, as well as excellent in heat and water resistance. Moreover, since the article of the present invention has a film formed on a substrate by curing the above-mentioned film-forming composition, it is excellent in water-repellent, oil-repellent, stain-resistant, and non-stick properties, as well as excellent in heat and water resistance. Furthermore, the method for forming the film of the present invention allows for the easy formation of the above-mentioned film on a substrate.
[0013] The film-forming composition of the present invention is characterized by containing (A) a polymer having siloxane bonds (hereinafter also referred to as "component (A)") and (B) silicone oil (hereinafter also referred to as "component (B)"). Here, in the present invention, component (A) and component (B) are distinguished and different components are used. Because the film-forming composition of the present invention contains component (A), it can form a film on a substrate of an article, and because it contains component (B), it can impart excellent water-repellent, oil-repellent, anti-fouling, and non-stick properties to the surface of the film formed using the film-forming composition.
[0014] In other words, since the composition of the present invention contains (A) a polymer having siloxane bonds and (B) silicone oil, when the composition is applied to a substrate and heated, (B) silicone oil does not mix with (A) the polymer having siloxane bonds and harden, but instead floats to the surface of the film (opposite side from the substrate) and hardens, so that the surface of the film formed by the hardening can exhibit excellent water-repellent, oil-repellent, stain-resistant, and non-stick properties. Furthermore, because component (B) is selectively present on the surface of the film formed by the above composition, changes in the above properties are suppressed even under high-temperature conditions such as when water is poured on it, when it is heated, when hot water is poured on it, or when it is immersed in hot water, and peeling from the surface of the article is suppressed.
[0015] The present invention will be described in detail below.
[0016] 1. Film-forming composition The film-forming composition of the present invention is characterized by containing (A) a polymer having siloxane bonds and (B) silicone oil. The components of the present invention will be described below.
[0017] ((A) Polymer having siloxane bonds) Component (A) is not particularly limited as long as it is a polymer having siloxane bonds. In the compositions of the present invention, it is preferable to use a silicone resin as such a polymer having siloxane bonds. In the present invention, the term "silicone resin" refers to a three-dimensional network polymer mainly composed of trifunctional siloxane units or tetrafunctional siloxane units. Among silicone resins, it is more preferable to use an alkoxysilane oligomer.

[0019] In the film-forming composition of the present invention, the alkoxysilane oligomer can be used as an alkoxysilane oligomer solution obtained by hydrolyzing and condensing an alkoxysilane beforehand, adding the resulting alkoxysilane condensate to a solvent, and mixing it with a catalyst.

[0032] The amount of catalyst is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.01% to 20% by mass, and more preferably 0.1% to 10% by mass, based on 100% by mass of the film-forming composition of the present invention.
[0033] The degree of polymerization of the alkoxysilane oligomer is not particularly limited, but is preferably between 1,000 and 10,000. In the film-forming composition of the present invention, hydrolysis and condensation reactions of the alkoxysilane proceed, but it is preferable that these do not hinder smooth application when applying to a substrate. Because the degree of polymerization of the alkoxysilane oligomer is within the above range, the film-forming composition of the present invention can be easily applied to the surface of a substrate.
[0034] The content of alkoxysilane oligomer in the above alkoxysilane oligomer solution is preferably 1% to 80% by mass, more preferably 5% to 50% by mass, and even more preferably 10% to 40% by mass, based on 100% by mass of the alkoxysilane oligomer solution. When the content of alkoxysilane oligomer in the alkoxysilane oligomer solution is within the above range, a film can be sufficiently formed.
[0035] The content of alkoxysilane oligomer in the film-forming composition of the present invention is preferably 0.5% to 75% by mass, more preferably 5% to 45% by mass, and even more preferably 10% to 35% by mass, based on 100% by mass of the film-forming composition. When the content of alkoxysilane oligomer in the film-forming composition is within the above range, a film can be sufficiently formed on the substrate of the article.

By setting the lower limit of the concentration of component (A) within the above range, a film is more sufficiently formed on the substrate. Furthermore, by setting the upper limit of the concentration of component (A) within the above range, the content of component (B) can be relatively increased, further improving the water-repellent, oil-repellent, anti-fouling, and non-stick properties of the film, as well as further improving its durability against heat and water.
[0037] (B) Silicone Oil The film-forming composition of the present invention contains silicone oil. In the present invention, the term "silicone oil" refers to a linear polymer having a bifunctional siloxane unit as its main backbone, and is distinguished from silicone resin. That is, component (B) is a component other than component (A) and does not contain component (A). Because the film-forming composition of the present invention contains silicone oil (B), the film formed by curing the film-forming composition of the present invention can exhibit excellent water-repellent and oil-repellent properties, stain-resistant properties, and non-stick properties, and the film has excellent durability against heat and water.

For example, when using component (B) with a number average molecular weight Mn of 1000, its kinematic viscosity is 20 mm². 2 / s or more 1500mm 2 / s or less, 30mm 2 / s or more 1200mm 2 / s or less, 50mm 2 / s or more 1000mm 2 It can be set to less than or equal to / s.

Furthermore, a lower limit of the coating thickness within this range improves the abrasion resistance of the coating.

[0064] In the article of the present invention, the above-mentioned film-forming composition and the above-mentioned film are the same as the above-described film-forming composition and film of the present invention.
[0065] The articles are not particularly limited as long as they have a film formed by the curing of the film-forming composition of the present invention described above, but examples include articles that may come into contact with organic matter such as food, cell tissue, and excrement, and for which water-repellent, oil-repellent, antifouling, and non-stick properties are required. Articles that come into contact with the aforementioned organic matter in a heated environment are also examples. Furthermore, as will be described later, examples of articles include those used outdoors (vehicles, etc.), and these articles may be subject to the adhesion of rain, snow, mud, etc. The film-forming composition and film of the present invention can exhibit particularly high water-repellent, oil-repellent, antifouling, and non-stick properties with respect to organic matter.

[0067] 4. Method for Forming a Film The method for forming a film according to the present invention comprises: (1) step 1, applying a film-forming composition to the surface of a substrate to form a film-forming composition layer; and (2) step 2, heating the film-forming composition layer to form a film on the surface of the substrate, wherein the film-forming composition contains (A) a polymer having siloxane bonds and (B) silicone oil. The method for forming a film according to the present invention is a method for manufacturing a film on a substrate.
[0068] According to the formation method of the present invention, in step 1, the above-mentioned film-forming composition is applied to the surface of a substrate to form a film-forming composition layer, and in step 2, the film-forming composition layer is heated. As a result, the (B) silicone oil does not mix with the (A) polymer having siloxane bonds and harden, but floats to the surface of the film (opposite side from the substrate) and hardens. Therefore, the surface of the film formed by this hardening can exhibit excellent water-repellent, oil-repellent, stain-resistant, and non-stick properties. Furthermore, because the (B) component is selectively present on the surface of the film formed by the formation method of the present invention, even under high-temperature conditions such as when water is poured on it, when it is heated, when hot water is poured on it, or when it is immersed in hot water, changes in the above properties are suppressed, and peeling from the surface of the article is suppressed.
[0069] The following provides a detailed explanation of each step.
[0070] (Step 1) Step 1 is a step of applying a film-forming composition to the surface of a substrate to form a film-forming composition layer.
[0071] The object on which a film is formed by the method of forming the present invention is a substrate. Examples of substrates include substrates made of metals that make up cooking utensils, etc. Examples of such metals include stainless steel, iron, zinc, aluminum, magnesium, cobalt, nickel, copper, tin, gold, and alloys thereof; inorganic materials such as glass, ceramics, and pottery; and organic materials such as resins. The film-forming composition and film of the present invention can be suitably used among the above substrates in that they can impart high water-repellent, oil-repellent, anti-fouling, and non-stick properties to metals, and the method of forming the present invention is particularly useful when the substrate is metal. Among these, stainless steel, iron, and aluminum are suitable as objects to be treated because they are used in cooking utensils, etc.
[0072] The above-mentioned substrate can be suitably used as a target for processing when it is used in cooking utensils, industrial machinery, food manufacturing equipment, kitchen equipment, medical equipment, medical instruments, injection needles, molding dies, paint manufacturing equipment, painting jigs, tableware, cutlery, electronic products, home appliances, communication equipment, mobile phones, monitors, vehicles, aircraft, ships, traffic infrastructure, traffic signals, road signs, convex mirrors, buildings, factory equipment, housing equipment, roofs, kitchen sinks, door knobs, bathtubs, automobile bodies, mirror covers, door handles, grills, range hoods, bumpers, spoilers, etc.
[0073] The above-mentioned substrate should be present on the surface of the article to be treated so as to be in sufficient contact with the film-forming composition. For example, the article may consist solely of the above-mentioned metal, or it may be a composite product combining the metal with other materials, such as ceramic materials or plastic materials. Furthermore, it may be a plated product in which a plating film is formed on the surface of the above-mentioned metal. For example, a steel sheet with zinc plating or zinc alloy plating can be used as the substrate.
[0074] As the film-forming composition used in step 1, the film-forming composition of the present invention described above can be used.
[0075] Conventional known methods can be used to apply the film-forming composition to the surface of a substrate. Examples include known methods such as dip coating, dip-spin coating, spray coating, roll coating, spin coating, and bar coating. Among these, the dip-spin coating and spray coating methods are preferred because they allow for uniform application regardless of the shape of the substrate.
[0076] By applying the film-forming composition using the above application method, a film-forming composition layer is formed on the surface of the substrate. The thickness of the film-forming composition layer is preferably 0.1 μm to 100 μm, and more preferably 1 μm to 50 μm. By having the film-forming composition layer thickness within the above range, the thickness of the film formed in step 2 described later can be adjusted to an appropriate range, thereby suppressing the loss of dimensional accuracy of the substrate while providing the substrate with water-repellent, oil-repellent, stain-resistant, non-stick properties, and durability against heat and water.
[0077] By step 1 described above, a film-forming composition can be applied to the surface of the substrate to form a film-forming composition layer.
[0078] (Step 2) Step 2 is a step of heating the film-forming composition layer to form a film on the surface of the substrate.
[0079] The heating method for heating the film-forming composition layer formed on the surface of the substrate is not limited and can be any conventionally known method. For example, one heating method involves placing the substrate and the film-forming composition layer together in a dryer and holding them there for a certain period of time.
[0080] The heating temperature is preferably 20°C or higher, more preferably 50°C or higher, even more preferably 100°C or higher, and particularly preferably 150°C or higher. Furthermore, the heating temperature is preferably 400°C or lower, more preferably 300°C or lower, and even more preferably 250°C or lower.
[0081] Furthermore, if the room temperature is around 20°C, heating in step 2 does not necessarily require the use of a dryer or the like; it may be left at room temperature for a certain period of time.
[0082] The heating time is preferably 10 minutes or more, and more preferably 20 minutes or more. Furthermore, the heating time is preferably 120 minutes or less, and more preferably 60 minutes or less.
[0083] Furthermore, if the room temperature is around 20°C, heating in step 2 does not necessarily require the use of a dryer or the like; it may be left at room temperature for a certain period of time.
[0084] As described above in step 2, a film is formed on the surface of the substrate.
