Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、繰り返し調色に対応した光輝性塗料の調色を簡便に且つ精度よく行うことができる調色方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、塗料の調色について、特開昭63−153677号公報において、ポータブルなカラーメータを使用して調色すべき選択色の色相、彩度、明度を表す色データを記憶し、前記カラーメータ内の前記色データをコンピュータに接続するとともに、利用可能な複数の塗料配合を前記コンピュータ内に記憶し、前記記憶した利用可能な色公式によって指定された各塗料の色相、彩度、明度を表す色データを前記コンピュータ内に記憶し、前記カラーメータから受取った選択色の色データと、前記記憶した利用可能な塗料配合のそれぞれを表す前記記憶した色データとを比較して最近似整合を見つけ出し、前記最近似整合として見つけ出された前記色データによって表される記憶した塗料配合を選択し、これによって前記選択色に対する色合わせを行う方法及び装置が提案されている(特許文献1参照)。
【0003】
近年、自動車などの塗色は、個人の好みの多様化、美粧性の向上などの観点からアルミニウム粉や光輝性マイカ粉が配合された光輝感のある塗色が増加している。この光輝感のある塗色の色合わせを行う場合、上記特開昭63−153677号公報に記載された色合わせ方法では、色合わせ精度がいまだ十分ではなかった。
【0004】
特開平10−310727号公報には、着色材と光輝材を配合したメタリック・パール系塗料の目標色に合致した着色材と光輝材の配合量を求めるメタリック・パール系塗料の調色方法において、使用する着色材及び光輝材の配合比を変化させた複数の塗板サンプルを、予め変角分光光度計により分光反射率を測定してコンピュータのメモリ上に記憶させておき、これを用いて調色する際に添加する光輝材の添加量を変えることにより生じる変角分光反射率の変化を取り込みつつ再現分光反射率を予測計算し、着色材と光輝材の適切な配合比を求める方法が提案されている(特許文献2参照)。
【0005】
しかしながら、この方法においては、着色材及び光輝材の配合比を変化させた塗板サンプルを1色材について、少なくとも5〜6水準程度必要であり、基礎データ作成に多くの労力が必要であり、計算アルゴリズムも複雑であることから使用する装置のコスト高の要因となる。
【0006】
また、特開2001−221690号公報には、(A)測色計と、(B)ミクロ光輝感測定器と、(C)複数の塗料配合、該各塗料配合に対応した色データとミクロ光輝感データ、複数の原色塗料の色特性データとミクロ光輝感特性データが登録されており、該塗料配合及び該各データを利用した色合わせ計算ロジックが作動するコンピュータとから構成されてなる塗料のコンピュータ調色装置を用いた光輝感を有する塗料にも対応できる調色方法が記載されている(特許文献3参照)。しかしながら、この方法に使用する各塗料配合に対応した色データとミクロ光輝感データ、複数の原色塗料の色特性データとミクロ光輝感特性データの登録に非常に多くの労力、コストがかかり、計算アルゴリズムも複雑であることから使用する装置のコスト高の要因となる。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記特開平10−310727号公報及び特開2001−221690号公報に記載の方法のいずれにおいても、光輝感を有する塗料を調色する場合、塗料の基本配合が既知である繰返し調色においても、光輝材を含む塗膜の光学特性を把握しながらの調色であり、色以外に光輝感が要因として含まれている為、調色が複雑になり出荷合格レベルに到達するまでの調色回数が多くなるといった問題があった。
【0010】
本発明の目的は、塗料の基本配合が既知である光輝感を有する塗料を調色する場合において、容易に精度よく調色でき、出荷合格レベルに到達するまでの調色回数の減少に寄与できる調色方法を提供することである。
【0011】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者は、上記目的を達成するため、着色顔料配合による色変化と光輝材配合による光輝感、色への影響を分離することによって、上記目的を達成することができることを見出し本発明を完成するに至った。
【0012】
すなわち本発明は、1.下記工程
基準塗料配合が既知である光輝性塗料の基準塗料配合から光輝材及び必要に応じて塗料添加剤を除いた塗料配合に基いて光輝材を含有しないエナメル基準板を作成しておく工程、
該エナメル基準板を基準として、光輝材及び必要に応じて塗料添加剤を除いた原色塗料などの塗料用原料を配合し調色して、該エナメル基準板の塗色に合わせた調色エナメル塗料を得る工程、及び
上記調色エナメル塗料に対して、光輝材及び必要に応じて塗料添加剤を加えて光輝性塗料を調色する工程、
を有することを特徴とする、基準配合が既知であって光輝材を含有する光輝性塗料の調色方法を提供するものである。
【0013】
また本発明は、2.上記工程(2)におけるエナメル塗料の調色を色合わせ計算ロジックが作動するコンピュータを用いて行うことを特徴とする上記項1記載の調色方法を提供するものである。
【0014】
さらに本発明は、3.上記工程(3)において、工程(2)で得た調色エナメル塗料に対して基準配合量の光輝材を加えて得た第一次調色塗料について塗装板を作成し、目的とする光輝性塗料の基準塗板との色一致性を判定し、色が合格であれば調色を終了し、色が不合格であれば更に光輝材量の調整による調色を行うことを特徴とする上記項1又は2記載の調色方法を提供するものである。
【0015】
また本発明は、4.上記工程(3)において、色一致性の判定を測色計及び/又は目視にて行うことを特徴とする上記項3記載の調色方法を提供するものである。
【0016】
以下、本発明の調色方法について詳細に説明する。
【0017】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の調色方法は、基準配合が既知である光輝性塗料を調色する方法である。したがって、基準配合が既知である同一塗色について、繰り返して調色塗料を製造する場合に好適に使用できる方法である。
【0018】
光輝性塗料を製造するための原料にロット間のばらつきが全くなければ、その基準配合どおりに配合すれば、目的とする色、光輝感を有する塗料を得ることが可能であるが、現実には、ロット間のばらつきが存在し、単一種の顔料を含有する原色塗料においても着色力にある程度のばらつきがあり、色味などがばらつく場合もある。したがって、基準配合が既知である光輝性塗料を調色する場合にも、基準配合どおりの配合で色一致性が合格となる場合はほとんどない。
【0019】
本発明方法は、光輝性塗料を調色するにあたり、光輝材を含有する塗料として一度に調色するのではなく、光輝材なしのエナメル塗料を調色した後、この調色着色エナメルに光輝材を加えて目的とする光輝性塗料を得ようとする調色方法であり、下記の工程(1)、(2)及び(3)を有する。
【0020】
工程(1)
工程(1)は、基準塗料配合が既知である該光輝性塗料の基準塗料配合から光輝材及び必要に応じて塗料添加剤を除いた塗料配合に基いて光輝材を含有しないエナメル基準板を作成しておく工程である。上記光輝材としては、アルミニウム粉などの金属粉、光輝性被覆マイカ粉(酸化チタンコーティングマイカ粉、酸化鉄コーティングマイカ粉など)などを挙げることができる。また、上記必要に応じて除かれる塗料添加剤は、塗色への影響の殆どない塗料添加剤であり、例えば、配向性調整剤(塗膜におけるアルミニウム粉などの配向を調整する助剤)、塗料流動性調整剤、消泡剤、紫外線吸収剤、紫外線安定剤、溶剤などを挙げることができる。
【0021】
工程(1)において、光輝材を含有しない調色エナメル作成のための基準となるエナメル基準板を作成する。調色しようとする光輝性塗料の既知の基準塗料配合は、該光輝性塗料の調色を行った際の実績配合であることができる。基準塗料配合は、その時点で最も信頼性の高い配合であることが好適であり、例えば、実績配合の平均値とすることもできる。
【0022】
上記基準塗料配合から光輝材を除き、さらに必要に応じて塗料添加剤を除いた塗料配合(例えば、単一種の顔料及びビヒクルを含有する原色1種以上からなるか該原色1種以上を主体とする配合)の塗料からエナメル基準板を作成する。このエナメル基準板は、調色エナメル塗料作成の際の基準となることができるものであればよく、1枚であってもよく、異なる塗装条件で塗装した2枚以上であってもよい。
【0023】
調色エナメル基準板は、目的とする光輝性塗料製造の直前に作成してもよいが、予め作成して保管しておいてもよい。
【0024】
工程(2)
工程(2)は、上記工程(1)で得たエナメル基準板を基準として、光輝材及び必要に応じて塗料添加剤を除いた原色塗料などの塗料用原料を配合し調色して、該エナメル基準板の塗色に合わせた調色エナメル塗料を得る工程である。エナメル塗料の調色にあたり、色合わせ計算ロジックが作動するコンピュータを用いてコンピュータ調色することができるし、コンピュータ調色を用いずに測色計及び/又は目視による調色を行うこともできる。当然のことながら、コンピュータ調色と目視の両者を併用してもよい。色合わせ計算ロジックが作動するコンピュータや測色計による測定値により色が一致しているかを判断する場合、例えば、JIS Z8729(1994)に規定されたL表色系によるΔE値などによって管理することができる。
【0025】
工程(3)
工程(3)は、上記工程(2)で得た調色エナメル塗料に対して、工程(2)において基準塗料配合から除いていた光輝材及び必要に応じて塗料添加剤を加えて光輝性塗料を調色する工程である。工程(2)において塗料添加剤が基準量添加されておれば、工程(3)において、塗料添加剤を加える必要はない。
【0026】
工程(3)において、光輝材の基準量を一度に加えてもよいし、少し減量して加え、光輝感を見ながら光輝材を追加していくこともできる。光輝材の光輝感のバラツキは光輝材を製造する技術の向上などによって小さくなってきており、バラツキの大きいものを除いては、光輝材の基準量を一度に加えても不合格になることはないと考えられる。
【0027】
調色エナメル塗料に対して光輝材などを配合した第一次調色塗料について、塗装板を作成し、目的とする光輝性塗料の基準塗板との色一致性を判定することができる。この判定において、色一致性が合格であれば調色を終了し、色一致性が不合格であれば更に調色を行う。この色一致性の判定は、例えば、測色計を用いて行うこともできるし、目視によって行うこともでき、また、両者を併用してもよい。測色計としては、多角度にて測色を行うことができる多角度測色計が好適である。測色計によって、色一致性の判断を行う場合、多角度、例えば2〜5水準程度の受光角度において、例えば、JIS Z8729(1994)に規定されるL表色系によるΔE値が一定範囲内にあるか否かで判断することができる。上記受光角度とは、塗膜に一定の入射角度で光照射したときの鏡面反射軸と受光軸とがなす角度を意味する。受光角度3水準で測定を行う場合には、例えば、上記受光角度が15〜30度、35〜60度及び75〜110度の各角度範囲のうちの各1ずつであることが目視による色の判断との対応がとれやすいことから好適である。
【0028】
調色エナメル塗料に対して光輝材などを配合した第一次調色塗料の色が合格か不合格かを判定するのに塗装板を作成せず、第一次調色塗料である生塗料そのもの色を判定する液調色によることもできる。
【0029】
光輝性塗料の液調色は、基準塗板に合せて調色する方法に比較して現時点では精度面で問題があり、光輝性塗料の調色において高い精度が求められる場合には、工程(3)における色一致性の判定は、光輝性塗料の塗装板について基準塗板との色一致性により行うことが好適である。
【0030】
上記色一致性の判定で合格であれば調色を終了し、不合格であれば、さらに光輝材量の調整にによる調色を行うことによって目的とする光輝性塗料を得ることができる。
【0031】

[0020]
Process (1)
Step (1) is to create an enamel reference plate that does not contain a glittering material based on a coating composition obtained by removing the glittering material and, if necessary, a coating additive, from the reference coating composition of the glittering paint whose reference coating composition is known It is a process to keep. Examples of the glitter material include metal powder such as aluminum powder, glitter coated mica powder (titanium oxide coated mica powder, iron oxide coated mica powder, and the like). The paint additive removed as necessary is a paint additive that hardly affects the coating color, for example, an orientation modifier (auxiliary for adjusting the orientation of aluminum powder in the coating film), Examples thereof include paint fluidity modifiers, antifoaming agents, ultraviolet absorbers, ultraviolet stabilizers and solvents.
[0021]
In step (1), an enamel reference plate serving as a reference for creating a toned enamel that does not contain a glittering material is prepared. The known standard coating composition of the glittering paint to be toned can be an actual composition when toning the glittering paint. The reference paint blend is preferably the most reliable blend at that time, and can be, for example, the average value of the past blend.
[0022]
A paint composition in which a glittering material is removed from the above-mentioned standard paint composition and paint additives are removed as necessary (for example, consisting of one or more primary colors containing a single kind of pigment and vehicle, or mainly comprising one or more primary colors) The enamel reference plate is made from the paint of the formula. The enamel reference plate may be any one as long as it can serve as a reference for creating the toned enamel paint, and may be one or more coated under different coating conditions.
[0023]
The toning enamel reference plate may be prepared immediately before the production of the desired glittering paint, or may be prepared and stored in advance.
[0024]
Process (2)
In step (2), based on the enamel reference plate obtained in step (1) above, blending and toning a raw material for paint such as a primary color paint excluding a glittering material and, if necessary, a paint additive, This is a step of obtaining a toned enamel paint that matches the paint color of the enamel reference plate. In the toning of the enamel paint, the computer toning can be performed using a computer in which the color matching calculation logic operates, or the toning by a colorimeter and / or visual observation can be performed without using the computer toning. Naturally, both computer toning and visual observation may be used in combination. When judging whether the colors match based on the values measured by a computer or colorimeter that operates the color matching calculation logic, for example, ΔE * by the L * a * b * color system defined in JIS Z8729 (1994) . It can be managed by value.
[0025]
Step (3)
In the step (3), the glittering paint obtained by adding the glittering material removed from the reference coating composition in the step (2) and, if necessary, the coating additive to the toning enamel coating obtained in the above step (2). Is a step of toning. If the reference amount of the paint additive is added in the step (2), it is not necessary to add the paint additive in the step (3).
[0026]
In the step (3), the reference amount of the glitter material may be added at a time, or the amount may be slightly reduced, and the glitter material can be added while observing the glitter feeling. The variation in brightness of glittering materials has been reduced due to improvements in technology for manufacturing glittering materials, etc., except for those with large variations, it can be rejected even if the reference amount of glittering material is added at once. It is not considered.
[0027]
With respect to the primary toning paint in which a glittering material or the like is blended with the toning enamel paint, a painted plate can be prepared, and the color consistency with the reference coating plate of the intended glitter paint can be determined. In this determination, if the color matching is acceptable, the toning is terminated, and if the color matching is unacceptable, further toning is performed. The determination of the color matching can be performed using, for example, a colorimeter, can be performed visually, or both can be used together. As the colorimeter, a multiangle colorimeter that can perform color measurement at multiple angles is suitable. When the color coincidence is determined by the colorimeter, ΔE according to the L * a * b * color system defined in JIS Z8729 (1994), for example, at a light receiving angle of about 2 to 5 levels, for example. * It can be judged by whether or not the value is within a certain range. The light receiving angle means an angle formed between the specular reflection axis and the light receiving axis when the coating film is irradiated with light at a constant incident angle. When measuring at a light reception angle of 3 levels, for example, the light reception angle is one of each of the angle ranges of 15 to 30 degrees, 35 to 60 degrees, and 75 to 110 degrees. This is preferable because it can be easily handled with judgment.
[0028]
Raw paint itself, which is the primary toning paint, is not used to determine whether the color of the primary toning paint that contains a glittering material or the like to the toning enamel paint is acceptable or not. It can also be based on liquid toning to determine color.
[0029]
The liquid toning of the glitter paint has a problem in accuracy at the present time as compared with the method of toning according to the reference coating plate. When high precision is required in the toning of the glitter paint, the process (3 It is preferable to determine the color consistency in (2) based on the color consistency of the glossy paint coated plate with the reference coated plate.
[0030]
If the color matching determination is acceptable, the toning is terminated, and if it is unacceptable, the target glittering paint can be obtained by performing toning by adjusting the amount of the glittering material.
[0031]
