It relates to the coated article which has.

  Plastic materials such as polymethyl methacrylate resin, polystyrene resin, and polycarbonate resin are excellent in impact resistance, transparency, light weight, and easy to process. Used in windows, lamp lenses, and instrument covers. However, since plastic materials are inferior to glass in terms of surface properties such as scratch resistance, chemical resistance, and weather resistance, the surface properties of plastic materials have been improved. As methods for improving the surface properties of plastic materials, methods for applying polyorganosiloxane-based and melamine-based thermosetting coating compositions and methods for applying polyfunctional acrylate-based active energy ray-curable coating compositions have been proposed. ing.

However, the coating composition described in Patent Document 5 cannot provide a coating composition that forms a cured film having excellent scratch resistance, weather resistance, and adhesion to a plastic substrate that satisfies the above requirements. Further, even when the layered silicon polymer described in Patent Documents 3 and 4 is blended with the coating composition described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, excellent scratch resistance, weather resistance, and adhesion to a plastic substrate satisfying the above requirements. The coating composition which forms the cured film which has the property cannot be obtained.

  Moreover, in order to eliminate the malfunction of the 1 coat coating film by the above coating compositions, the patent document 6 has proposed the multilayer coating film formation method using a specific undercoat. However, in the method described in Patent Document 6, the composition of the top coat is mainly composed of organic components, and weather resistance and scratch resistance compared to the composition containing the inorganic materials and inorganic-organic hybrid materials described in Patent Documents 3 to 5 above. There was a problem that the property was insufficient.

The coating composition (I) has curability at a low temperature, and desired performance such as weather resistance can be obtained without heating at a high temperature (for example, 100 ° C. or higher). It is preferable to heat at the temperature. In addition, since the coating composition (I) is cured even by active energy rays, it is preferable to heat for 1 to 30 minutes because desired performance such as weather resistance can be obtained without heating for a long time. It is more preferable to heat for a minute.

For example, it can be performed at a drying temperature of 20 to 100 ° C. for a drying time of 3 to 20 minutes.

  The film thickness of the coating film is appropriately set according to the purpose. For example, the film thickness is preferably 1 to 15 μm, and more preferably 2 to 10 μm. When the film thickness is at least the lower limit of these ranges, the resulting multilayer coating film is excellent in weather resistance (particularly cracking). Moreover, when it is below the upper limit of these ranges, the curability of the coating film is excellent.

After drying as needed as described above, active energy ray irradiation is performed to form a cured coating film. The irradiation source and irradiation amount of active energy ray irradiation are not particularly limited. For example, the active energy ray irradiation source includes ultra-high pressure, high pressure, medium pressure, low pressure mercury lamp, chemical lamp, carbon arc lamp, xenon lamp, metal halide lamp, fluorescent lamp, tungsten lamp, sunlight and the like. Dose, for example preferably 100~10000mJ / cm ^2, more preferably include a range of 500~5000mJ / cm ^2.
