Description

  The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a window glass for a vehicle in which a film formed through a method having a step of hydrolyzing and polycondensing an alkoxide compound, that is, a sol-gel film is formed.

The vehicle window glass is obtained by cutting a large-sized glass plate into a predetermined shape. At the end of the glass plate immediately after being cut, there are fine cracks and irregularities on the end face, and the corners of the end face are particularly sharp. For this reason, a sharp state is eliminated by polishing the end face using a diamond wheel or the like, particularly by processing the shape into a substantially semicircular shape. However, the polished end face has a white turbid appearance, and particularly when the glass plate is colored such as green or dark green, the turbidity of the polished end face becomes conspicuous. Under such a background, Patent Document 1 forms a transparent coating layer made of a fired body containing a glass frit on the end surface of a glass plate in order to obtain a vehicle window glass having no white turbid end surface and a good appearance. It is disclosed.
JP 2002-12024 A Pamphlet of International Publication No. 2007/58016

  The present applicant discloses in Patent Document 2 a heat ray shielding film which is a kind of sol-gel film. Here, the sol-gel film is a film formed through processes such as hydrolysis and polycondensation reaction of an alkoxide compound and the like to form a coating liquid having an oligomer, which is coated on a substrate and dried. It is. Since the sol-gel film can introduce a functional material capable of causing optical, electrical, and chemical functions, it has been proposed and used in various applications. In particular, a sol-gel film having a film thickness exceeding 0.5 μm is highly useful in consideration of imparting optical and chemical functions.

  The coating liquid for obtaining a heat ray shielding film in Patent Document 2 is a means for holding a coating liquid on a member and applying the member on a glass plate by means of bringing the member into contact with the glass plate, so-called hand coating, It can be efficiently applied to a glass plate with a small amount of coating solution.

  When the coating solution is applied not only to the main surface of the glass plate but also to the edge of the glass plate to form a sol-gel film, the cloudiness at the edge of the glass plate is eliminated, so that the vehicle has a good appearance. Can provide window glass.

  If a coating method that spreads the coating liquid on the main surface is applied to the end surface in order to apply it to the end surface as well as the main surface of the glass plate by hand coating, the main surface on the side opposite to the main surface is applied. The coating solution goes around the surface, resulting in a decrease in appearance quality.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle window glass having a good appearance, and a sol-gel film is formed on a main surface and an end surface of a glass plate whose end surfaces are polished by application of a coating solution by hand coating. It is an object to provide a method.

That is, the vehicle window glass manufacturing method of the present invention is a vehicle window glass manufacturing method having an end face that can be visualized.
A step of preparing a glass plate whose end face is polished;
A step of forming a sol-gel film on at least a visible end surface of the main surface and the polished end surface of the glass plate, and the step of forming the sol-gel film includes a holding material that holds a coating solution for forming the sol-gel film Characterized by adjusting the discharge state of the coating liquid from the holding material to be different between the application to the main surface and the application to the end surface. To do.

  By applying a coating method suitable for spreading the coating liquid on the main surface, and by applying a coating method in which the coating liquid does not spread on the main surface opposite to the main surface, the end surface is the main surface. It prevents the coating liquid from getting into the opposite main surface and causing the appearance quality to deteriorate. The end face that can be visualized is exposed to a state in which the end face of the glass plate is exposed when the window glass for a vehicle is incorporated into a vehicle, and the end face of the glass plate is exposed during opening and closing operations. It refers to the end face part that may be damaged. As the window glass exhibiting such a state, there are a window glass incorporated in a side surface of a vehicle, a window glass incorporated in a ceiling, and the like.

  As a method of applying a coating method suitable for spreading the coating liquid on the main surface and applying a coating method in which the coating liquid does not spread on the main surface opposite to the main surface, the end surface is coated on the main surface. It is preferable that the coating liquid to be applied is different from the coating liquid applied to the end face. For example, since the coating liquid applied to the main surface preferably has higher leveling properties, the viscosity is preferably 1 mPa · s to 7 mPa · s at 25 ° C., more preferably 2 mPa · s to 6 mPa · s. On the other hand, since it is preferable that the coating liquid applied to the end surface is difficult to spread the coating liquid on the main surface opposite to the main surface, the viscosity is preferably 3 mPa · s to 30 mPa · s at 25 ° C. 4 mPa · s to 30 mPa · s is particularly preferable.

  Other methods that apply a coating method suitable for spreading the coating solution on the main surface and applying a coating method in which the coating solution does not spread on the main surface opposite to the main surface are applied to the end surface. By adjusting the retention rate of the coating liquid to the holding material that is in contact with the surface and the retention rate of the coating liquid to the holding material that is in contact with the end surface, the discharge state of the coating liquid from the holding material is applied to the main surface. It is preferable that the coating is different from that applied to the end face. In particular, it is preferable that the holding rate of the coating liquid of the holding material brought into contact with the main surface is large. This holding rate is, for example, 1. It is preferable to adjust so as to be 5 to 200 times, preferably 2 to 100 times.

  The sol-gel film formed on the main surface and the end surface in the present invention is preferably a film having a film thickness of 0.1 μm to 5 μm, preferably a film having a silicon oxide compound obtained through a silicon oxide oligomer. The film is formed by bonding the silicon compound to a substrate through a siloxane bond.

  As a coating solution for forming such a sol-gel film, particularly a coating solution to be applied to the main surface, it has a solid content and a solvent, and the solid content is obtained by hydrolysis and polycondensation of alkoxysilane in an acidic aqueous solution. The resulting silicon oxide oligomer has a polystyrene-equivalent number average molecular weight of 500 to 6000, preferably 500 to 4000, and the solid content to the coating solution is preferably 8 to 40% by weight, preferably Is 8 to 30% by weight, and the ratio of the solid content derived from the silicon oxide oligomer to the solid content is preferably 10% by weight or more. In addition, the number average molecular weight here shows the number average molecular weight calculated in polystyrene conversion in a gel permeation chromatography (GPC) analysis.

  If the silicon oxide oligomer is less than 8% by weight, repellency defects of the coating solution tend to occur. On the other hand, if the solid content exceeds 40% by weight, the resulting sol-gel film becomes thick and cracks are likely to occur. Similarly, when the number average molecular weight of the silicon oxide oligomer exceeds 6000, the resulting sol-gel film becomes thick and cracks are likely to occur. In addition, since the polycondensation reaction proceeds at the same time under the condition where the alkoxysilane hydrolysis reaction proceeds, it is difficult to control the number average molecular weight to less than 500. In the present invention, the main surface coating solution and the end surface coating solution may be the same.

  However, in the method of applying the coating liquid by bringing the holding material holding the coating liquid into contact with the glass plate as in the present invention, it is preferable that the main surface coating liquid has higher leveling property. Factors affecting the leveling properties include the solvent volatilization rate of the coating solution, the viscosity of the coating solution, the solid content concentration in the coating solution, and the viscosity of the coating solution at 25 ° C. is 7 mPa · s or less. Then, since leveling property becomes high, it is preferable.

  Such a coating liquid has a solid content and a solvent, and the solid content has a silicon oxide oligomer obtained by hydrolysis and polycondensation of alkoxysilane in an acidic aqueous solution, and the solvent has a boiling point of 100 ° C. It is preferable to have an organic solvent having a viscosity at 25 ° C. of 3.5 mPa · s or less, preferably 2.5 mPa · s or less, and further an acidic aqueous solution. Further, from the viewpoint of leveling properties, the solid content in the coating solution is preferably 30% by weight or less, preferably 20% by weight or less, and the molecular weight of the silicon oxide oligomer is preferably 4000 or less.

  The method for manufacturing a window glass for a vehicle according to the present invention is a method for producing a vehicle window glass having a good appearance by efficiently applying a sol-gel film on a main surface and a polished end surface of a glass plate by applying a coating solution by hand coating. Succeeded in providing.

The manufacturing method of the window glass for vehicles of this invention is demonstrated in detail. The vehicle window glass manufacturing method of the present invention is a vehicle window glass manufacturing method having an end face that can be visualized.
A step of preparing a glass plate whose end face is polished;
A step of forming a sol-gel film on at least a visible end surface of the main surface and the polished end surface of the glass plate, and the step of forming the sol-gel film includes a holding material that holds a coating solution for forming the sol-gel film Characterized by adjusting the discharge state of the coating liquid from the holding material to be different between the application to the main surface and the application to the end surface. To do.

  The glass plate to which the coating solution is applied is preferably obtained by cutting a large-size glass plate into a predetermined shape. At the end of the cut glass plate, there are fine cracks and chips on the end surface, so the glass plate is easily broken, and the corners of the end surface are sharp, so the end surface is polished (seamed). In particular, the sharp shape is eliminated by processing the shape into a substantially semicircular shape. As this polishing method, various polishing methods such as a method of polishing with a machine or hand using a diamond wheel, a polishing belt, a sandpaper or the like, or a combination thereof can be appropriately employed.

  Next, the main surface coating liquid for forming the sol-gel film on the main surface, or the end surface coating liquid for forming the sol-gel film on the end surface is held by the holding material, and the holding material is held on the main surface of the glass plate, or The main surface coating solution or the end surface coating solution is applied by contacting the end surface (hereinafter referred to as “coating solution” when referring to both the main surface coating solution and the end surface coating solution). is there). The means for bringing the holding material into contact with the substrate and the means for extending the coating solution include those by hand, those by robots and machines, and the like. As a method of holding the coating solution on the holding material, not only the method of holding the coating solution on the holding material before bringing the holding material into contact with the glass plate, but also supplying the coating solution to the surface of the glass plate and then holding it. A method of spreading the coating liquid on the glass plate while allowing the coating material to come into contact with the glass plate and supplying the coating liquid to the holding material, or a method of bringing the holding material into contact with the glass plate while supplying the coating liquid to the holding material, or There are combinations. However, since it is difficult to feed the end surface coating solution to the end surface of the glass plate, when applying the end surface, a method of holding the end surface coating solution on the holding material before contacting the glass plate, the end surface coating solution A method of bringing the holding material into contact with the glass plate while supplying a liquid to the holding material is preferred.

  Examples of the member for holding the main surface coating liquid include cloth, paper, non-woven fabric, brush, brush, gauze, sponge and felt.

On the other hand, examples of the member for holding the end surface coating liquid include cloth, paper, non-woven fabric, gauze, sponge, and felt. Brushes and brushes are not preferable because the coating liquid is likely to spread on the main surface opposite to the main surface to which the coating liquid is applied when the end surface is applied. In addition, when a holding material is used, the end surface sinks deeply into the holding material when it comes into contact with the end surface, the coating liquid may spread on the main surface opposite to the main surface to which the coating liquid is applied. Since it becomes high, it is not preferable. For example, when the holding material is placed on a hard table with the surface to be brought into contact with the end face up, and the weight of 200 g / cm ² is placed on the holding material, the amount of weight sinking can be reduced. If it is 10 mm or less, the possibility that the coating liquid spreads and spreads on the main surface opposite to the main surface to which the coating liquid is applied is preferable.

  The coating solution for obtaining the sol-gel film preferably has a solid content and a solvent, and the solid content preferably contains a silicon oxide oligomer obtained by hydrolysis and polycondensation of alkoxysilane in an acidic aqueous solution. As the alkoxysilane, at least one selected from trialkoxysilane and tetraalkoxysilane can be used. The alkoxy group of alkoxysilane forms a strong siloxane bond by hydrolysis and polycondensation reaction. In tetraalkoxysilane, all four functional groups bonded to the silicon atom are alkoxy groups, and a dense siloxane network is formed by hydrolysis and polycondensation reaction, so that the film strength is improved. In addition, since the solid content formed from trialkoxysilane is excellent in flexibility because the siloxane network is not densely formed, the stress generated during the drying process during film formation can be relieved well, and the generation of cracks is suppressed. To be successful. In order to obtain a practically sufficient film abrasion resistance and to obtain a film having a film thickness exceeding 0.1 μm, particularly exceeding 0.5 μm, trialkoxysilane and tetraalkoxysilane may be used. preferable.

  For trialkoxysilane, methyltrimethoxysilane, ethyltrimethoxysilane, propyltrimethoxysilane, isopropyltrimethoxysilane, butyltrimethoxysilane, isobutyltrimethoxysilane, phenyltrimethoxysilane, methyltriethoxysilane, ethyltriethoxysilane , Propyltriethoxysilane, isopropyltriethoxysilane, butyltriethoxysilane, isobutyltriethoxysilane, phenyltriethoxysilane, methyltripropoxysilane, ethyltripropoxysilane, propyltripropoxysilane, isopropyltripropoxysilane, butyltripropoxysilane , Isobutyl tripropoxy silane, phenyl tripropoxy silane, methyl triisopropoxy silane, ethyl Trialkoxysilane having a hydrocarbon group such as lyisopropoxysilane, propyltriisopropoxysilane, isopropyltriisopropoxysilane, butyltriisopropoxysilane, isobutyltriisopropoxysilane, phenyltriisopropoxysilane, or 3-glycol Sidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-glycidoxypropyltriethoxysilane, 5,6-epoxyhexyltriethoxysilane, 5,6-epoxyhexyltriethoxysilane, 2- (3,4epoxycyclohexyl) ethyltrimethoxysilane , Trialkoxysilane having a reactive organic group such as 2- (3,4-epoxycyclohexyl) ethyltriethoxysilane and 3-oxetanylpropyltriethoxysilane.

  As the tetraalkoxysilane, tetramethoxysilane, tetraethoxysilane, tetrapropoxysilane, tetraisopropoxysilane, or the like can be used. And as for the said tri and tetraalkoxysilane, a single kind of compound may be used, respectively, and a multiple kind of compound may be used.

  Moreover, you may include microparticles | fine-particles as solid content of a coating liquid. At this time, it is preferable that the fine particles are uniformly dispersed without aggregating in the coating solution. The fine particles may be dispersed in a dispersion medium in advance to form a dispersion, and then mixed with the coating liquid, or may be dispersed in the coating liquid. For dispersion of the fine particles, methods such as a ball mill, a jet mill, a bead mill, a sand mill, and an ultrasonic dispersion method can be used.

  Furthermore, the solvent contained in the coating solution has an acidic aqueous solution and an organic solvent. As the acidic aqueous solution, an aqueous solution having an acid catalyst such as an inorganic acid such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid or nitric acid, or an organic acid such as acetic acid, phthalic acid or succinic acid can be selected according to the hydrolysis rate of the alkoxy group of the alkoxysilane used. . And it is preferable that an acid catalyst is added so that the pH value in the solution at the time of hydrolysis and polycondensation of alkoxysilane, that is, the solution having a silicon oxide oligomer, becomes 1 to 5.

  Further, hydrolysis of alkoxysilane can be performed by adding a sufficient amount of water and an acid catalyst, and the reaction needs to proceed sufficiently. On the other hand, simultaneously with the hydrolysis reaction, the hydrolyzate causes a polycondensation reaction which is a dehydration reaction. From the viewpoint of the viscosity of the coating solution and the abrasion resistance of the film, the progress of the polycondensation reaction is not preferable, so that the hydrolysis reaction proceeds, but the polycondensation reaction is difficult to proceed. 5 mol times or more, preferably 7 mol times or more.

  Here, when two or more types of alkoxysilanes are used, the hydrolysis reaction may be performed separately and mixed later or together. In addition, as another method of performing the hydrolysis reaction, there is a method of gradually mixing an alkoxy silane diluted with a solvent and an acidic aqueous solution diluted with a solvent. In this example, a rapid reaction can be avoided, and a more homogeneous reaction can be easily obtained.

  The organic solvent preferably has a boiling point of 100 ° C. or higher and a viscosity of 3.5 mPa · s or lower. Examples thereof include 2-methoxyethanol, 2-ethoxyethanol, 2-isopropoxyethanol, 2-butoxyethanol, diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, 1-methoxy-2-propanol, 1-ethoxy-2-propanol, dipropylene Examples include glycol monomethyl ether, dipropylene glycol monoethyl ether, diacetone alcohol, 2-methoxyethyl acetate, 2-ethoxyethyl acetate, 2-butoxyethyl acetate, and diethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate.

  Furthermore, since the organic solvent is well mixed with the acidic aqueous solution added to the coating solution, it is preferable that the organic solvent has high compatibility with water, and more preferable that the solvent has infinite solubility in water. Examples of solvents having a boiling point of 100 ° C. or more, a viscosity of 3.5 mPa · s or less, and an infinite solubility in water include 2-methoxyethanol, 2-ethoxyethanol, 2-isopropoxyethanol, 2-butoxyethanol. , Diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, 1-methoxy-2-propanol, 1-ethoxy-2-propanol, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, dipropylene glycol monoethyl ether, diacetone alcohol, 2-methoxyethyl acetate, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate Can be mentioned.

  Furthermore, when the silicon oxide oligomer is a silicon oxide oligomer formed by hydrolysis and polycondensation of tetraalkoxysilane and trialkoxysilane, it is formed from a solid content formed from tetraalkoxysilane and trialkoxysilane. The weight ratio of the solid content is preferably 55:45 to 85:15. When the solid content formed from tetraalkoxysilane is less than 55% by weight, the mechanical strength of the sol-gel film tends to be low, and scratches are likely to occur. On the other hand, if it exceeds 85% by weight, cracks are likely to occur in the sol-gel film.

  Furthermore, a function can be provided to the sol-gel film by including fine particles in the solid content. As such fine particles, fine oxide particles such as silicon oxide, titanium oxide, aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide, zinc oxide, ITO and ATO, or fine metal particles such as iron, gold, silver and copper can be used. Moreover, if the average particle diameter is 200 nm, since the transparency of a sol-gel film does not fall, it is preferable. However, if the thickness is less than 10 nm, the specific surface area of the fine particles is increased and the durability is lowered, which is not preferable. The average particle diameter of the fine particles referred to here is obtained by measuring the number average particle diameter in the liquid by a dynamic light scattering method.

  In particular, among fine particles, ITO is useful because it effectively blocks near infrared rays having a wavelength of 1000 nm or more. At this time, the weight ratio between the tin-doped indium oxide fine particles and the solid content of the silicon oligomer is preferably 35:65 to 70:30. If the tin-doped indium oxide fine particles are less than 35% by weight, sufficient infrared shielding performance cannot be obtained. If the tin-doped indium oxide fine particles are more than 70% by weight, the amount of the binder is reduced and the conductive oxide fine particles are sufficiently strong. As a result, the film strength decreases, which is not preferable.

  In the present invention, the purpose of forming the sol-gel film on the end face of the glass plate is to reduce the unevenness of the end face to reduce the cloudiness, and does not require infrared shielding performance. Since tin-doped indium oxide is a very expensive material, it is preferable in terms of cost to use a coating solution for end face that does not contain tin-doped indium oxide fine particles.

    And the window glass for vehicles which is the application target of the coating liquid of the present invention is not particularly limited. For example, soda-lime glass or alkali-free glass produced by a float plate glass or a roll-out method. It is possible to use a plate glass having an inorganic transparency. The plate glass can be used both colorless and colored, and is not particularly limited to the combination with other functional films, the shape of the glass, and the like.

  The shape of the substrate is not limited to a flat plate or a bent plate, and in addition to various tempered glasses such as air-cooled tempered glass and chemically tempered glass, netted glass and laminated glass can also be used. Furthermore, various glass substrates such as borosilicate glass, low expansion glass, zero expansion glass, low expansion crystallized glass, and zero expansion crystallized glass can be used.

  Moreover, you may use resin base materials, such as a polyethylene terephthalate resin, a polycarbonate resin, a polycarbonate resin, a polyvinyl chloride resin, a polyethylene resin.

  Then, the prepared coating solution is applied to a glass plate and dried. The drying atmosphere may be dried at room temperature, but if higher wear resistance and hardness are required, heat treatment at 50 to 300 ° C. is preferable because the mechanical strength of the sol-gel film is improved.

Examples of the present invention will be described below.
