Abstract

PHOTO-CURABLE COATING COMPOSITION

Abstract of the Disclosure A photo-curable coating composition is described having high hiding power and being useful in the field of paints, as well as inks. The composition is in the form of a polymer having a ratio of molecular weight to number of polymerizable double bonds of 200 to 10,000. This obtained from the reaction of an isocyanate compound containing a polymerizable double bond with a polymer containing an active hydrogen atom, a monomer polymerizable therewith and a photo-sensitizer.

Description

! .

The present invention relates to a photo-curable coatlnR composition. More particularly, it relates to a photo-curable coatinR composition _ which provides a coating film having a high hiding power.
As photo-curable compositions,there are kno~m a transparent composition (clear) comprising an unsaturated poly-ester resin, a monomer polymerizable therewith and a photo-sensi-tizer and a translucent composition comprising the said trans-parent composition and an extender pigment having a high ultra-~iolet ray transmittance, if necessary, together with a smallamount o~ a coloring agent such as a dye or a pigment. These compositions are generally used as a transparent topcoat finish-ing or a translucent undercoat finishing on ~-oods, papers, plas-- tics or other substrates. However, they are poor in hiding power. When a paint ~enamel) prepared by admixing one of these . .
compositions with a ccloring agent havir.~ æ lo~ ultraviolet ray transmittance is applied on a substrate and irradiated by ultra-violet rays, only a very small amount of the rays cæn reach the lowest part of the coating layer of the paint because of the reflection and the absorption of the rays due to the coloring agent, so that a large difference in curing is caused between the surface and the lowest part of the said coating layer.
Conseguently, the surface of the coating layer is not smooth but has a crepe-like appearance or becomes roughly wrinkled.
T~erefore, the coloring agent to be admixed is requircd to have a high ultraviolet ray transmittance, and so the use of the ob-tained paint is restricted.
For overcoming such drawback, there has been proposed the use of a polymeri,.ation initiator such as ~m organic peroxide and/or a polymerization promot~r such a5 a metal salt together

with the photo-sensitizer. Howeve~? these proposals are also not practlcal, because these agents introduce new problems such as lowering of stability on storage and the need of using a paint of the two liquid component type.
There has now successfully been produced a polymer which can afford, together with a usual photo-sensitizer alone and without any polymerization initiator and/or a polymerization promoter, a coating film having a high hiding power, by com- `
bining a compound containing a polymerizable double bond such as 10 maleic anhydride, acrylates and methacrylates, with a polymer, preferably at its side chain, so as to increase the radical polymerizability. The present invention is based on the successful production of such polymer.
According to the present invention, there is provided ; a photo-curable coating composition which comprises (a) a polymer having a ratio of molecular weight to number of polymerizable double bonds of 200 to 10,000, obtained from the reaction of an isocyanate compound containing a polymerizable doùble bond with a polymer containing an active hydrogen atom, (b) a monomer polymerizable therewith, (c) a photo-sensitizer, and (d) a coloring agent, the proportion of the polymer, the monomer and the photo-sensitizer being 20 - 99 : 80 - 1 : 0.01 - 20 by weight, and the amount of the coloring agent being 3 to 50 parrs by weight ; to 100 parts by weight of the combined amount of the polymer, the monomer and the photo-sensitizer.
The term "monomer" as hereinabove used in connection with the component (2) and also as hereinafter employed in ; connection with the preparation of the component (1) is intended to mean any compound bearing a polymerizable double bond and includes not only a monomer in the strict sense but also an oligomer which may be formed from two or more molecules of the monomer in the strict sense.

The polymer as the component (1) can be prepared by -1~48684 reacting a monomer contairling a polymerizable double bond and an active hydrogen atom with a polyfunctional isocyanate and then reacting the resulting isocyanate compound containing a - polymerizable double bond wi~h a polymer or pre-polymer contain-. ing an active hydrogen atom.
- In the preparation of the isocyanate compourld~
the reaction is usually executed at a teMperature of 30 to 130C
(preferably 30 to 70C), if necessary, in the presence of 100 to 5,000 ppm (preferably 500 to 2,000 ppm) of a conventional poly-merization inhibitor (e.g. hydroquinone, hydroquinone monomethyl ether, benzoquinone, nitrobenzene, diphenylpicrylhydrazyl, galva-noxyl) and of 100 to 5,000 ppm (preferably 500 to 2,000 ppm) of a conventional urethanation (i.e. uretharie-formation) catalyst such as a tertiary amine (e.g. triethylamine, triethylenediamine, N-methylmorpholine) or an organotin compound (e.g. stannous octa-noate, dibutyltin dilaurate, distannoxane) until one iSGCyanate group remains in each molecule of the produced isocyanate compo-und in average. The presence of the isocyanate group may be con-firmed by a conventional amine.back titration procedure or by the absorption at around 2,200 cm 1 in the IR absorption spectrum.
Sometimes, a part of the starting polyfunctional isocyanate may remain unreacted, or arly compound containing no isocyanate group may be by-produced in the reaction. The product containing these contaminants may be as such subjected to the s~lbsequent reaction with the polymer containing an ac~ive hydrogen atom.
However, ~hen an acrylic polymer is used as the said polymer, .. :' ' .

the elimination of these contaminants by a conventional proce-dure (e.g. extraction, distillation, adsorption) i~ often desir-ed.
The subsequent reaction of the thus obtained isocyanate compound with the polymer containing an active hydrogen atom is cont~d until the r~tio o~ the molecular weight to the nu~ber of polymerizable double bonds of the produced poly~er becomes 200 to 10,000 (preferably.5C0 to 5,000). ~hen the said ratio is smaller than 200, the coating film produced by the resulting polymer has a poor flexibility. When the ratio is larger th2n 10,000, the film is hardly cured. As the case may be, the re-action may be performed in the presence of a polymerization inhibitor and an urethanation catalyst as mentioned above.
The reaction temperature is usually 30 to 1~0C, preferably 60 . .
to 120C. The isocyanate group can be detected by the method as above mentioned. If necessary, a polymerizable monomer con-taining no active hydrogen atom sensitive to the isocyanate group (e.g. methyl methacrylate) may be incorporated into the reaction system.
As the said monomer containing a polymerizable double bond and an active hydrogen atom, the use of the one havin~ only ; one active hydrogen atom in the molecule is favorable. ~xamples o~ 8uch monomer are a~ follows (wherein the term "(meth)acrylate"
means acrylate and methacrylate)~

(7) Diesters of unsaturated polycarbo~ylic acids such , .. ........ . . ...... .
a8 diethyl itaconate, dibutyl itaconate, diethyl fumarate, di-butyl ~umarate, dimethyl maleate and dibutyl maleate.
These monomers are employed alone or in combination depending on the purpose of the use of the coating composition to be prepared, since the properties of the coating film are ~aried by the combination of these monomers with the said polymers.
: As the photo-sensitizer, there may be used a con~en-tional one sueh as benzoin, benzoin ethers, benzophenone, benzil, 2,4-dichlorobenzaldehyde or disulfides.
In the composi.tion of the invention, the proportion :~
of the polymer, the monomer and the photo-sen~itizer may be 20 - 99 : 80 - 1 : 0.01 - 20 by weight, preferably 40 -90 :- 60 - 10: 0.1 - 10 by weight. When the proportion of the polymer is smaller than the said lower limit, the coating composition becomes hardly cured and the proper-ties of the coating film are deteriorated. The use of the monomer in a larger amount is desirable for increas-ing the curing property. When the phot-sensitizer is smaller than the said lower limit, the curing proceeds with difficulty. Even if the amount exceeds the said upper limit, any change in the curing property is not expected, and the use of such a large amount of the agent is not economical.
The composition of the invention may be diluted with an organic solvent inert to ultraviolet rays. It can be used not only for a clear coating but also for a colored coating by incorporating various coloring agents therein.
Any kind of coloring agents can be used for the purpose of colored coating, but there is a tendency that, when a coloring agent having a high ultraviolet ray transmitta~e (e.g. prussian blue, ultramarine, cadmium pigment) is employed, it can be incorporated in a high concentration and when a coloring agent having a low~ultraviolet ray transmittance e.g. phthalocyanine blue, phthalocyanine green~ is employed, it can be incorporated only in a low concentration. Although the amount of the coloring agent depends on the kind of the coloring agent or the film thickness, it is preferred to be in a range of 3 to 50 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight of the composition i.e. the combined amount of the three essential compon-ents (1), (2) and (3), in order to assure a sufficient hiding. When the amount of the coloring agen* is smaller than the said lower limit, the coating film necessitated for hiding is made thicker. When the amount exceed .~ .
.
' ~0~8684 the said upper limit, the curing property at the film thickness necessary for assurance of good film properties is lowered and the film appearance is very poor. In case of requiring a thin coating film, however, the color-ing agent may be used in an amount larger than the said upper limit.
The preparation of the coating composition of the invention may be carried out by mixing of the polymer, the monomer and the photo-sensitizer, when used, with the coloring agent by the aid of a conventional dispersing machine such as ball mill or three roll mill. The coat-ing composition may be applied on a substrate by a conven-tional procedure and then irradiated by ultraviolet rays for curing. If necessary, the substrate receiving the composition may be allowed to stand prior to the irradia-tion so as to evaporate the inert solvent which may be present in the composition. Practically, the irradiation may be performed by exposing the substrate applied the composition to the sun shine or an artificial light of 250 and 500 m~ , preferably 300 to 400 m , in wave length. As the light source, there may be used a carbon ~ -arc lamp, an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp, a low pressure mercury lamp, a metal halide lamp, a xenone lamp, a chemical lamp or the like.
The composition of the invention can be used not only in the field of paints b~t also in any other field such as inks.
