Description

  The present invention relates to a mat paint composition and a mat paint film, and more particularly to a mat paint composition and a mat paint film using an information nucleic acid that can be used for individual authentication.

  Conventionally, for individual authentication, a license plate, watermark printing such as banknotes, an IC chip and a photo of a credit card are used. However, these individual authentication means have a drawback that they can be removed from the product by peeling, cutting, erasing or the like. For this reason, it has been expected to develop authentication information that cannot be removed from the product, that is, does not disappear.

On the other hand, DNA is an information biomolecule originally possessed by all living organisms and including all genetic information in each organism. Many of them correspond to the amino acid sequences of many proteins. That is, deoxyadenosine (dA), deoxyguanosine (dG), deoxycytosine (dC), and deoxythymine (dT) are bonded with a certain direction through a phosphate ester bond, and the number of bases is n. Thus, there are ⁴ⁿ types of DNA having that length. Thus, for example, there can be about 4.3 billion types of distinguishable DNAs with only 16 types of bases. At present, any DNA having a sequence of several tens of bases can be arbitrarily synthesized. In addition, if the amount of DNA exceeds a certain level, the sequence can be automatically determined by an automatic sequence reader (sequencer).

From such a background, it has been proposed to use a forgery-preventing label in which DNA is contained in a water-insoluble medium in a product to clarify the authenticity of the product based on the presence or absence of the DNA. (See Patent Document 1).
JP 2004-159502 A

  However, the technique described in Patent Document 1 basically relates to a method of mixing DNA and a water non-solvent, and as a product authenticity confirmation method, the presence or absence of amplification of ribonucleic acid by the PCR method is confirmed. This indicates that the target product containing ribonucleic acid is identified. In addition, authenticity verification data that uses the presence / absence of DNA as a test index is data related to individual authentication that uses DNA sequence as a test index and enables authentication for each product even for the same type of product. Is not disclosed.

  On the other hand, in the case of theft / damage of articles such as vehicles, there is a demand for identifying the target article at an early stage from the paint piece of the article left on the scene of the incident.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems of the prior art, and the object of the present invention is to individually identify the source / history product by containing information nucleic acid. An object of the present invention is to provide a matte coating composition and a matte coating film that can be specifically identified.

  As a result of intensive studies to solve the above-mentioned problems, the inventors of the present invention regard nucleic acid typified by DNA as one piece of authentication information, and later detect the information nucleic acid in the matte coating, The present inventors have found that the above problems can be solved and have completed the present invention.

  According to the present invention, even if it is a mass-produced product such as an industrial product, the target product can be individually authenticated by determining the sequence of the contained information nucleic acid.

  Hereinafter, the matte coating composition of the present invention will be described in detail. In the present specification and claims, “%” indicates a mass percentage unless otherwise specified.

  The matte paint composition of the present invention comprises an information nucleic acid having a site having an arbitrary and known base sequence in a matte paint raw material. As a result, it can be easily applied to the product as a matte paint, and it is difficult to remove from the product after the coating film is formed.

  Here, the above-mentioned information nucleic acid refers to DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), RNA (ribonucleic acid) and derivatives thereof, which may be natural or artificial, but should be included in matte paint compositions where the usage environment is severe. Therefore, it is preferable to use an artificial mold that is structurally stable. In the artificial type, a sequence having a binding mode that does not exist in the natural type (for example, a linkage between nucleosides includes not only a phosphate ester bond but also a non-natural type such as a thiophosphate ester bond) can be formed.

  In addition, in the above-mentioned information nucleic acid, that the base sequence site is arbitrary means that it can be randomly selected as long as it is a detectable base sequence, and that the base sequence site is known is used for individual authentication. It shows that the base sequence to be grasped in advance.

  As for the size of the information nucleic acid, the number of bases in the whole nucleic acid is preferably 200 or less. When it exceeds 200, unreacted sites are generated little by little at the stage of synthesis, and the content of those lacking a base tends to increase. More preferably, it is about 100 bases. Furthermore, it is preferable that thymines are not adjacent to each other in the above base sequence. Thereby, it can suppress that thymine dimerizes.

  In addition, the information nucleic acid is preferably derivatized with a protecting group from the viewpoint of improving stability when used in combination with a compound that reacts with an OH group or when used in a severe environment. Specifically, a hydroxyl group at one or both of the 5′-position and the 3′-position is derivatized with a phosphate ester group, an acyl group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, a benzyl group, a substituted benzyl group, an allyl group, or the like. can do. FIG. 1A shows natural DNA, and FIG. 1B shows DNA derivatized at the 5 ′ position.

  Furthermore, from the viewpoint of enhancing the convenience of isolation and purification, it is preferable to derivatize the hydroxyl group at the 5 ′ position with biotin or a fluorescent molecule. Specifically, when vithion is used, it is easily adsorbed selectively on a column to which a protein called avidin is bound. On the other hand, when a fluorescent molecule such as fluorescein is used, the nucleic acid itself becomes fluorescent, so that it can be detected with high sensitivity and purification is facilitated. Thus, when the convenience of isolation and purification is increased, individual authentication becomes extremely easy.

  When RNA is used as the information nucleic acid, the 2′-position hydroxyl group can be derivatized with the protecting group from the viewpoint of improving stability.

  In addition, from the viewpoint of efficiently detecting the information nucleic acid even when the content in the matting paint composition is small, the base sequence portion is a portion used for amplification of the information nucleic acid. Is preferred. As a method for amplifying such information nucleic acid, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) that can be amplified synergistically can be appropriately employed.

  Typically, it is desirable to employ a PCR method that can be amplified extremely even if the information nucleic acid is extremely small. In this method, for example, when a thermostable DNA polymerase is allowed to act while controlling the temperature in the presence of a base (primer) complementary to several tens of bases of the DNA, the original DNA can be doubled. If this is repeated 30 times, for example, it can be amplified several hundred million times. This amplification makes it possible to obtain a sufficient amount for determining the sequence even from a very small amount of sample. As a result, a product (matte coating composition) containing the information nucleic acid from the information corresponding to the sequence. ) Is identified.

  In this case, it is preferable that the sites used for the amplification have primer-corresponding sites necessary for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) at both ends. This is because an information nucleic acid can be used without a primer, but it can be identified in a short time by providing a primer.

  For such a primer corresponding site, the lower limit of the number of bases is preferably 5 or more. More preferably, it is 10 or more. If the number of bases is less than 5, the number of nucleic acids that can be distinguished decreases, and particularly when many products (matte paint compositions) are mixed, it takes time for identification. On the other hand, the upper limit of the number of bases is preferably 100 or less. When the number of bases exceeds 100, the ratio of by-products lacking a base at any position increases, and purification takes time, or in some cases, purification becomes difficult.

  In addition, when RNA is used as the information nucleic acid, DNA complementary to the sequence can be obtained using reverse transcriptase, and PCR can be performed using this DNA.

  The information nucleic acid preferably further has an authentication information site in addition to the base sequence site. In this case, individual authentication can be executed by more detailed information setting.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 2, in the case of information-oriented DNA having primer-corresponding sites at both ends, a sequence with m bases is placed in the center (B1 to Bm), and the sequence information of this portion is used as authentication information. Make it correspond. At both ends, sequences (X1 to Xl, P1 to Pn) complementary to l (el) and n primers are ligated, respectively. The presence of this part makes it possible to adopt the PCR method for the first time. The information DNA can be used as an information element of this single-stranded DNA or a double-stranded DNA complexed with a complementary sequence of DNA. The sequence of the primer corresponding site can be devised so that the binding of complementary sequences is as stable as possible and amplification by the PCR method proceeds smoothly.

  Furthermore, it is preferable that the information nucleic acid is contained in an amount of 0.5 to 500 μg with respect to 100 g of the resin solid content from the viewpoint of improving the detection accuracy of the information nucleic acid and the dispersibility in the matte coating material. . More preferably, it is 50-100 micrograms, Most preferably, it is 75-100 micrograms. When the addition amount is less than 0.5 μg, it is difficult to distinguish the information nucleic acid from the matte coating film. If it exceeds 500 μg, the adhesion tends to decrease. In addition, the said resin solid content shows the matte coating film which the matting coating composition solidified.

  As the matte paint raw material, a general matte paint can be used, and typically, a hydrophilic liquid such as an acrylic paint, a melamine paint and a urethane paint which are lipophilic liquids. Examples thereof include powdered polyester-based paints and acrylic-based paints such as acrylic paints, urethane-based paints, and melamine-based paints. The lipophilic liquid may be a one-pack type or a two-pack type (for example, urethane resin paint).

  The matting paint composition of the present invention can contain various additives in addition to the matting paint raw material and the information nucleic acid. For example, various additives such as an organic pigment, an inorganic pigment, a dispersant, and a curing accelerator can be appropriately contained.

  The information nucleic acid is preferably carried on fine particles. As a result, it is possible to suppress the outflow of the information nucleic acid contained in the matte paint raw material from the matte paint raw material, and to extend the life of the matte paint composition.

  Further, the average particle diameter of the fine particles is preferably 0.01 to 40 μm from the viewpoint of improving the detection accuracy of the information nucleic acid and the dispersibility in the matte coating material. More preferably, it is 0.02 to 10 μm, and particularly preferably 0.02 to 5 μm. If the average flow diameter is smaller than 0.01 μm, the detection accuracy tends to be lowered, and if it is larger than 40 μm, the smoothness tends to be lowered.

  Furthermore, the content of the fine particles is a ratio of 5 to 50% with respect to the resin solid content from the viewpoint of improving the detection accuracy of the information nucleic acid and the dispersibility in the matte coating material. Is preferred. More preferably, it is 5 to 30%, and particularly preferably 5 to 10%. If the content is less than 5%, the amount of fine particles in the sampled matte coating is too small, and the detection accuracy may be reduced. If it exceeds 50%, the adhesion tends to decrease.

  As the fine particles, for example, titanium oxide, molybdenum oxide, tungsten oxide, barium titanate and the like are preferably used in addition to silica and zinc oxide. The fine particles are dispersed in sterile distilled water to form a suspension, and the information nucleic acid is added to the suspension as it is or an information nucleic acid aqueous solution in which the information nucleic acid is dissolved in sterile distilled water is added. It can be manufactured by drying. At this time, a part of the information nucleic acid may be added as it is without forming an aqueous solution, and the rest may be added in the state of an aqueous solution.

  At this time, the suspension includes alcohol (eg, methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, pentanol, hexanol, heptanol, octanol, nonanol, etc.), ester (eg, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, propyl acetate, etc.) ), Ketones (for example, acetone, dimethyl ketone, methyl ethyl ketone, diethyl ketone, etc.) and aromatic solvents (toluene, hexane, cyclohexane, xylene, etc.) are preferably further added to the suspension of the fine particles. As well as improving dispersibility, the volatilization of water and solvent after the addition of the information nucleic acid is promoted.

  In addition, these solvents are not limited to only 1 type, It is also possible to use 2 or more types of solvents together. These solvents may be added at the same time as the information nucleic acid or after the information nucleic acid is added.

  As the amount of the solvent added, in the case of alcohol, the volume ratio of sterilized distilled water / alcohol is preferably in the range of 1 to 99. In the case of a solvent other than alcohol, that is, the ester, ketone, aromatic solvent In some cases, the volume ratio of sterile distilled water / solvent is preferably in the range of 1 to 75.

  That is, if the addition amount of the solvent is too small, the above-mentioned effect due to the addition of the solvent cannot be obtained sufficiently, and conversely, even if it is too much, the water tends to remain without volatilization due to a decrease in compatibility with water. There is a tendency to become insufficient.

  Next, the matte coating film of the present invention will be described in detail. The matte coating film is formed by disposing and solidifying the matte coating composition described above on an arbitrary substrate. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, there is a laminated coating film comprising an undercoat coating layer 1, a base coating layer 2, and a matting coating layer 3, and the matting coating layer 3 has information corresponding to a primer-corresponding site. Can contain modified DNA.

  Further, the film thickness of the matte coating film is not particularly limited, but is preferably about 20 to 30 μm from the viewpoint of the detection accuracy of the information nucleic acid.

  In addition, as said arbitrary base material, various inorganic materials, such as various metal materials, such as iron, aluminum, and copper, various organic materials, such as a polypropylene and a polycarbonate, quartz, and ceramics (calcium carbide etc.), are mentioned typically. . In addition, as a method for coating these materials with a matte coating composition, a known and usual method can be employed. For example, a brush coating method, a spraying method, an electrostatic coating method, an electrodeposition coating method, and a sputtering method can be used. Furthermore, the matte coating film only needs to be coated within a range in which the information nucleic acid can be detected, and can be coated on the whole or a part of the substrate.

  In the matte coating composition and matte coating film described above, individual authentication can be performed by detecting information nucleic acid.

  At this time, in determining the base sequence, the data of the information nucleic acid extracted from the matte paint composition or the matte coating is compared with the information nucleic acid database including at least the data of the information nucleic acid. Is desirable. The time required for product authentication can be significantly reduced by comparing with a database of information nucleic acids that has been grasped in advance.

  Examples of data stored in such a database include electrophoresis time and movement distance when gel filtration is performed (this is sufficient if the information nucleic acid itself is allowed to flow in the control lane).

  In the individual authentication method, when the information nucleic acid is amplified by the PCR method, the extracted information nucleic acid solution, PCR buffer solution, sterile distilled water, at least one primer, 2,3-dideoxynucleoside triphosphate Acid (dNTP) and polymerase are mixed, (1) heated at 92-95 ° C. for 2-5 minutes, then (2a) at 92-95 ° C. for 30-60 seconds, (2b) at 20-50 ° C. for 30- It is preferable that the heating cycle of (2c) at 70 to 80 ° C. for 30 to 120 seconds is repeated 20 to 50 times for 60 seconds, and then (3) heat treatment is performed at 70 to 80 ° C. for 1 to 10 minutes. In addition, it is preferable to use two types of primers from the viewpoint of enhancing the arbitraryness of the base sequence of the information nucleic acid.

  In (1), 5 minutes at 94 ° C. is particularly preferable. If it is shorter than 2 minutes at 92 ° C., it will be difficult to separate the DNA into two differences, and if it is longer than 5 minutes at 95 ° C., the enzyme will be inactivated. In addition, it is unnecessary when the information nucleic acid contained in a mat paint composition or a mat paint film is a single strand.

  Further, in (2a), 30 seconds at 94 ° C. is particularly preferable. When the temperature is shorter than 30 seconds at 92 ° C., the amplification factor decreases, and when it is longer than 60 seconds at 95 ° C., the enzyme is inactivated.

  Further, in (2b), 30 seconds at 40 ° C. is particularly preferable. When it is shorter than 30 seconds at 20 ° C., it becomes difficult to bind the primer and DNA, and when it is longer than 60 seconds at 50 ° C., the enzyme is inactivated.

  Further, in (2c), 30 seconds at 72 ° C. is particularly preferable. If it is shorter than 30 seconds at 70 ° C., the elongation becomes insufficient, and if it is longer than 120 seconds at 80 ° C., the enzyme is deactivated.

  Further, in (3), 7 minutes at 72 ° C. is particularly preferable. If it is shorter than 1 minute at 70 ° C., the elongation becomes insufficient, and if it is longer than 10 minutes at 80 ° C., time is wasted.

  Furthermore, the repetition of the heating cycles (2a) to (2c) is particularly preferably 30 times. When the heating cycle is less than 20, the amplification factor decreases, and when it is more than 50, time is wasted.

  FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of an embodiment of the individual authentication method. As shown in the figure, in S1, information DNA is extracted from the matte paint composition or the matte coating film. In S2, it is concentrated by lyophilization. In S3, two kinds of primers and a polymerase are added. In S4, DNA is amplified by repeating PCR. In S5, the remaining excess primer is degraded by a single-stranded DNA cleavage enzyme. In S6, the double-stranded information DNA is purified by gel filtration. In S7, sequencing is performed by a sequencer.

  Here, in S1, for example, a matte coating film may be powdered and mixed with a small amount of water. For example, when information DNA is chemically bonded to fine particles, hydrolysis may be performed. Can be extracted more efficiently. Moreover, in S2, you may concentrate using a centrifugal evaporator, for example. Further, in S5, for example, Taq DNA polymerase, Tth DNA polymerase, Tfl DNA polymerase, Vent polymerase, Pfu polymerase, Bca BEST polymerase, KOD DNA polymerase and the like can be used as the single-stranded DNA cleaving enzyme. Further, the target DNA may be amplified between S6 and S7 by repeating the same operations as in S3 and S4. In S7, sequencing may be performed by a mass spectrometer, or may be combined with sequencing by a sequencer.

  From the viewpoint of enhancing the convenience of isolation and purification of the information nucleic acid, it is preferable to derivatize the 5′-position hydroxyl group with biotin or a fluorescent molecule. Specifically, when vithion is used, it is easily adsorbed selectively on a column to which a protein called avidin is bound. On the other hand, when a fluorescent molecule such as fluorescein is used, the nucleic acid itself becomes fluorescent, so that it can be detected with high sensitivity and purification is facilitated. Thus, when the convenience of isolation and purification is increased, individual authentication becomes extremely easy.

  Furthermore, for example, when the 5′-position is substituted with sulfur, it can be easily separated by passing the column extracted with water through a carrier column coated with gold (Au).

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail by way of examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.

<Evaluation of moisture resistance (adhesion)>
After leaving it in an atmosphere of 50 ° C. and relative humidity of 95% for 500 hours, it was taken out and checked for adhesion. The adhesion force is determined by drawing the parallel lines of 11 vertical and horizontal lines that reach the coating substrate with a cutter knife (specified in 7.2 (2) (e) of JIS K 5400) at intervals of 2 mm. A cross-cut was formed. A cellophane tape (specified in JIS Z 1522) was brought into close contact with the grid-like coating film and peeled upward at a stretch, and the number of grids remaining in the 100 grids was measured.
