Description

  The present invention relates to a novel fluorine-containing pentaerythritol derivative and a method for producing a wet coating film using the same. More specifically, in a novel fluorine-based compound in which a fluorinated alkyl group and pentaerythritol are cross-linked with an oxyalkylene chain, and a method for producing a wet coating film in which a substrate is coated with a wet coating liquid, The present invention relates to a method for producing a wet coating film, which comprises previously mixing the above novel fluorine-based compound in a wet coating liquid.

  Conventionally, a surfactant having a fluorinated alkyl group or the like has been used as a leveling agent or a wetting agent for various coating liquids. However, the conventional fluorosurfactant has a problem that it is difficult to efficiently orient on the surface because the number of fluorinated alkyl groups per molecule is small. A conventional fluorosurfactant is sufficient because the fluorinated alkyl group, etc., is separated from other functional groups and hydrocarbon skeletons, and the latter functional group and the like are compatible with various solvents. It is considered that surface activity may not be expressed.

  Moreover, although patent document 1 has pentaerythritol tetraester, it is a compound useful as a lubricating oil etc., and cannot expect the effect of leveling property and wettability improvement.

  Furthermore, Patent Document 2 discloses the following general formula (A):

Wherein, A 'represents an ethylene group and / or a propylene _group, R 1 _{to R 3 +} at least one fluorine-containing group of _{n C 6 F 11 -~C 8 F} 17 - or _C 8 _F 17 O · _{C 6} H ₄ · CO— indicates the remaining hydrogen atom, m ₁ , m ₂ ,... M _{3 + n} represents 0-30, and n represents 0 or a number of 1-9]
It is described that the fluorine-containing glycerin derivative represented by these is used as a polymer surface modifier, an antifogging antifoggant and a leveling agent. However, a fluorine-containing glycerin derivative having a more stable quality than the fluorine-containing glycerin derivative having the structure is desired.
