Description
LAQUES EXTÉRIEURES BRILLANTES SHINY EXTERIOR LACQUERS
DOMAINE DE L’INVENTION FIELD OF THE INVENTION
La présente invention porte sur un revêtement externe obtenu à partir d’une formulation de laque en phase aqueuse, ledit revêtement étant emboutissable et résistant à la chaleur, destiné à être appliqué sur une surface susceptible d’être chauffée. L’invention est également relative au procédé de préparation dudit revêtement ainsi qu’à un article ménager comprenant au moins une couche d’un tel revêtement, ledit article pouvant être un article culinaire, une semelle de fer à repasser, des plaques de fer à lisser les cheveux ou encore le capot d’un appareil ménager. The present invention relates to an external coating obtained from an aqueous phase lacquer formulation, said coating being drawable and heat resistant, intended to be applied to a surface capable of being heated. The invention also relates to the process for preparing said coating as well as to a household article comprising at least one layer of such a coating, said article possibly being a cookware, an iron soleplate, iron plates. straighten hair or even the hood of a household appliance.
ARRIERE PLAN DE L’INVENTION BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Des revêtements sous forme d’au moins une couche de laque à base de résines, généralement à base de résine silicone, appliqués sur des surfaces destinées à être chauffées, notamment sur des articles culinaires, sont connus dans le domaine. Coatings in the form of at least one layer of lacquer based on resins, generally based on silicone resin, applied to surfaces intended to be heated, in particular to cookware, are known in the field.
Le brevet FR 2643806 décrit par exemple un récipient de cuisson dont le fond est recouvert à l’extérieur d’un revêtement à base de résine silicone. Le revêtement est obtenu à partir d’une formulation aqueuse comprenant une part importante de solvant xylène. Ladite résine silicone présente cependant l’inconvénient d’être peu résistante à la chaleur. Pour pallier à ces inconvénient, la surface du récipient de cuisson comporte des creux et des saillies, le revêtement à base de résine silicone étant présent uniquement dans les creux pour éviter sa détérioration. Le revêtement n’est donc pas uniformément réparti à la surface de l’article. Patent FR 2643806 describes, for example, a cooking vessel whose bottom is covered on the outside with a coating based on silicone resin. The coating is obtained from an aqueous formulation comprising a significant portion of xylene solvent. Said silicone resin, however, has the disadvantage of not being very resistant to heat. To overcome these drawbacks, the surface of the cooking vessel has hollows and projections, the silicone resin-based coating being present only in the hollows to prevent deterioration. The coating is therefore not evenly distributed over the surface of the article.
Le brevet FR 2969636 concerne un revêtement externe en laque polyester-silicone autoréticulante en mélange avec un aminosilane pour un article, notamment culinaire, présentant une résistance améliorée au lave-vaisselle. Le revêtement est obtenu à partir d’une formulation de la résine polyester en phase solvant. Les exemples du brevet montrent une bonne résistance aux détergents du lave-vaisselle, à une température de 55°C mais aucun test de résistance à la chaleur lors de l’utilisation usuelle d’un article culinaire destiné à être chauffé n’est décrit. Patent FR 2969636 relates to an external coating of self-crosslinking polyester-silicone lacquer mixed with an aminosilane for an article, in particular culinary, having improved resistance to the dishwasher. The coating is obtained from a formulation of the polyester resin in solvent phase. The examples of the patent show good resistance to dishwasher detergents at a temperature of 55 ° C, but no test of heat resistance during normal use of a cookware intended to be heated is described.
Ainsi, les laques couramment utilisées dans le domaine présentent l’inconvénient principal d’être en formulation en mélange avec des solvants souvent toxiques, comme par exemple le xylène, et émetteurs de COV (composé organique volatil) lors de leur mise en oeuvre, ayant un impact négatif sur la santé des opérateurs de productions et sur l’environnement. De plus, ces résines sont peu résistantes à la chaleur, de sorte que le revêtement se raye et s’use rapidement lors de l’utilisation des articles culinaires à chaud.
La présente invention vise donc à proposer un revêtement obtenu à partir d’une formulation de laque dépourvue de solvant non miscible avec l’eau, le dit revêtement étant résistant à la chaleur, au lave-vaisselle, étant emboutissable et présentant un aspect décoratif appréciable, brillant et pouvant être de couleur vive. Thus, the lakes commonly used in the field have the main drawback of being in a formulation mixed with often toxic solvents, such as xylene, and emitters of VOCs (volatile organic compound) during their use, having a negative impact on the health of production operators and on the environment. In addition, these resins have low heat resistance, so the coating will scratch and wear off quickly when using hot cookware. The present invention therefore aims to provide a coating obtained from a lacquer formulation devoid of solvent immiscible with water, said coating being resistant to heat, to the dishwasher, being drawable and having an appreciable decorative aspect. , shiny and may be brightly colored.
A cet effet, les inventeurs ont mis au point un revêtement obtenu à partir d’une formulation de laque en phase aqueuse comprenant au moins une résine alkyde et dépourvue de co-solvant non miscible avec l’eau. To this end, the inventors have developed a coating obtained from an aqueous phase lacquer formulation comprising at least one alkyd resin and devoid of co-solvent immiscible with water.

Alkyd resins are typically thermosetting, that is, they solidify under the effect of temperature. The alkyd resins used in the invention can solidify at room temperature, typically at a temperature between 20 ° C and 40 ° C.
La formulation de laque utilisée dans l’invention comprend une résine alkyde telle que décrite ci-dessus ou un mélange de résines alkydes. De manière préférée, la formulation de laque comprend une seule résine polyuréthane alkyde. The lacquer formulation used in the invention comprises an alkyd resin as described above or a mixture of alkyd resins. Preferably, the lacquer formulation comprises a single polyurethane alkyd resin.

Par exemple, la formulation de laque peut comprendre de l’éthanol, du propanol, du monopropylène glycol, de l’éthylène glycol ou leurs mélanges, de préférence du monopropylène glycol ou de l’éthylène glycol, plus préférablement du monopropylène glycol. Dans ce mode de réalisation, la quantité de co-solvant dans la formulation varie typiquement de 1% à 10% en poids par rapport au poids total de la formulation, de préférence de 2% à 8%. The anti-foaming agents, spreading agents, antibacterial agents, wetting agents, thickeners, pigments, flakes and flake orienters used are well known to those skilled in the art. When one of these additives is present in the formulation, it is advantageously added in an amount which varies from 0.1% to 8% by weight relative to the total weight of the formulation, preferably from 0.4% to 6% . The lacquer formulation used in the invention can comprise a co-solvent, advantageously chosen from glycols and alcohols. This co-solvent makes it possible to optimize the application of the coating by preventing it from drying too quickly. For example, the lacquer formulation can comprise ethanol, propanol, monopropylene glycol, ethylene glycol or mixtures thereof, preferably monopropylene glycol or ethylene glycol, more preferably monopropylene glycol.

Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, la formulation de laque comprend au moins deux additifs, de préférence choisis parmi un co-solvant, des paillettes et des pigments. Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, la formulation de laque en phase aqueuse ne comprend aucun co-solvant. En d’autres termes, ladite formulation ne comprend pas d’autre solvant que l’eau. In a preferred embodiment, the lacquer formulation comprises at least two additives, preferably chosen from a co-solvent, flakes and pigments. According to a particular embodiment, the formulation of lacquer in aqueous phase does not include any co-solvent. In other words, said formulation does not include any solvent other than water.
Le revêtement The coating
La présente invention porte également sur un revêtement destiné à être appliqué sur une face d’un substrat destinée à être chauffée, ledit revêtement étant obtenu à partir de la formulation de laque en phase aqueuse telle que définie ci-dessus. The present invention also relates to a coating intended to be applied to one side of a substrate intended to be heated, said coating being obtained from the formulation of lacquer in aqueous phase as defined above.
Le revêtement selon la présente invention se présente sous la forme d’au moins un film de laque issu de la formulation de laque telle que définie ci-dessus, réparti de façon uniforme sur la surface. Ledit film de laque comprend donc au moins une résine alkyde, de préférence polyuréthane alkyde, et au moins un additif. The coating according to the present invention is in the form of at least one lacquer film resulting from the lacquer formulation as defined above, distributed uniformly over the surface. Said lacquer film therefore comprises at least one alkyd resin, preferably alkyd polyurethane, and at least one additive.
Le revêtement selon la présente invention est donc constitué d’un ou plusieurs films de laque tel que défini ci-dessus, appliqué les uns sur les autres, de sorte que le revêtement a typiquement une épaisseur qui varie de 1 pm à 100 pm, de préférence de 10 pm à 80 pm et plus préférentiellement de 20 pm à 50 pm. Typiquement, le revêtement comprend trois couches de laque.
Selon un mode de réalisation, le revêtement est constitué de plusieurs films de laque, dont au moins un des films est réparti de façon uniforme sur l’ensemble de la surface. Avantageusement, l’ensemble des films de laque est réparti de façon uniforme. The coating according to the present invention therefore consists of one or more lacquer films as defined above, applied one on top of the other, so that the coating typically has a thickness which varies from 1 µm to 100 µm, from preferably from 10 μm to 80 μm and more preferably from 20 μm to 50 μm. Typically, the coating comprises three layers of lacquer. According to one embodiment, the coating consists of several lacquer films, at least one of the films of which is distributed uniformly over the entire surface. Advantageously, all of the lacquer films are distributed uniformly.
Le terme « de façon uniforme » signifie que le film de laque forme une couche recouvrant totalement la surface et ayant la même épaisseur et le même aspect sur toute la surface. The term "uniformly" means that the lacquer film forms a layer completely covering the surface and having the same thickness and appearance over the entire surface.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le revêtement est constitué de plusieurs films de laque, dont au moins un est réparti de façon uniforme sur la surface et au moins un autre film est réparti de façon non uniforme, de sorte qu’il puisse crée un motif décoratif par exemple. According to another embodiment, the coating consists of several lacquer films, at least one of which is distributed evenly over the surface and at least one other film is distributed non-uniformly, so that it can create a decorative pattern for example.
Le revêtement final obtenu par le procédé de préparation selon l’invention tel que décrit ci-dessous comprend une résine alkyde, de préférence une résine polyuréthane alkyde telle que définie ci-dessus, et un additif choisi parmi les paillettes et les pigments.The final coating obtained by the preparation process according to the invention as described below comprises an alkyd resin, preferably a polyurethane alkyd resin as defined above, and an additive chosen from flakes and pigments.
Les agents anti-mousse, les agents d’étalement, les agents mouillants, les épaississants et le co-solvants permettent d’obtenir une formulation de laque possédant les propriétés optimales en terme de viscosité pour une application la plus aisée possible. Ces agents ne sont pas présents dans le revêtement final. En effet, ils ne résistent pas à l’étape de cuisson lors de la préparation du revêtement de l’invention telle que décrite ci-dessous. Les agents anti-mousse et les agents d’étalement sont notamment présents dans la formulation lorsque l’application du revêtement se fait par sérigraphie. Defoamers, spreading agents, wetting agents, thickeners and co-solvents provide a lacquer formulation with the optimum viscosity properties for the easiest possible application. These agents are not present in the final coating. This is because they do not withstand the baking step during the preparation of the coating of the invention as described below. Antifoam agents and spreading agents are especially present in the formulation when the coating is applied by screen printing.
Les paillettes et les pigments ont un rôle décoratif et sont bien présents dans le revêtement final selon l’invention. The flakes and pigments have a decorative role and are present in the final coating according to the invention.
Le revêtement est appliqué sur une face d’un substrat destinée à être chauffée, la face du substrat étant avantageusement en verre, céramique ou en métal, de préférence en métal. Lorsqu’elle est en métal, la face du substrat est par exemple en aluminium, en titane, en cuivre, en acier ou en un de leurs alliages, préférablement en aluminium. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, le revêtement de l’invention est appliqué sur une face d’un article culinaire, une semelle de fer à repasser, des plaques d’un fer à lisser, une plaque de cuisson ou un capot d’un appareil électro-ménager, de préférence un article culinaire. Ainsi, de manière avantageuse, le revêtement est appliqué sur la face extérieure d’un article culinaire, ladite face extérieure étant destinée à être disposée sur une source de chaleur. The coating is applied to one side of a substrate intended to be heated, the side of the substrate advantageously being made of glass, ceramic or metal, preferably metal. When it is made of metal, the face of the substrate is for example aluminum, titanium, copper, steel or one of their alloys, preferably aluminum. According to a preferred embodiment, the coating of the invention is applied to one side of a cookware, an iron soleplate, the plates of a hair straightener, a baking plate or a cover of an iron. household appliance, preferably a cookware. Thus, advantageously, the coating is applied to the exterior face of a cookware, said exterior face being intended to be placed on a heat source.
Le revêtement selon l’invention possède une adhérence et une souplesse suffisante pour résister à la chaleur, au lave-vaisselle et à des opérations de mise en forme de la surface telles que l’emboutissage et le fluorotournage. En d’autres termes, le
revêtement ne se raye pas, ne se craquèle pas et ne se retire pas lorsque la surface est chauffée, passée au lave-vaisselle ou mise en forme. The coating according to the invention has sufficient adhesion and flexibility to withstand heat, dishwasher and surface shaping operations such as stamping and fluorotinning. In other words, the coating will not scratch, crack or peel off when surface is heated, washed in the dishwasher or shaped.
Par ailleurs, le revêtement selon l’invention est de préférence de couleur vive et brillante. Cette brillance est notamment mesurée via un appareil de colorimétrie (brillancemètre) et est comprise entre 80 et 100 UB à 60°. La couleur et la brillance du revêtement ne sont pas détériorées par la chaleur, le lave-vaisselle ou toute opération de mise en forme. En particulier, le revêtement ne brunit pas à la chaleur. Furthermore, the coating according to the invention is preferably bright and shiny in color. This brightness is measured in particular using a colorimetry device (glossmeter) and is between 80 and 100 UB at 60 °. The color and gloss of the coating is not deteriorated by heat, the dishwasher or any shaping operation. In particular, the coating does not brown in the heat.
