Description

  The present invention provides a near-infrared reflective film that is less likely to cause coating failure even when stored for a long period of time, has low haze, and has excellent near-infrared reflectivity, visible light transmittance, and flexibility, and near-infrared The present invention relates to a near-infrared reflector provided with a reflective film.

  In recent years, due to increasing interest in energy conservation measures, there has been an increasing demand for near-infrared reflective films that can be attached to window glass of buildings and vehicles to block the transmission of solar heat rays from the viewpoint of reducing the load on cooling equipment. ing.

  As a method for forming a near-infrared reflective film, a laminated film comprising a structure in which a high refractive index layer and a low refractive index layer are alternately laminated is formed by a dry film forming method such as a vapor deposition method or a sputtering method. There has been proposed a method of forming them. However, the dry film forming method has problems such as a large vacuum apparatus used for forming, high manufacturing cost, difficult to enlarge, and limited to a heat-resistant material as a base material. Yes.

  A method of forming a near-infrared reflective film using a wet coating method instead of the dry film forming method having the above-described problems is known.

  For example, a high refractive index layer coating solution in which a thermosetting silicone resin or an ultraviolet curable acrylic resin containing metal oxide or metal compound fine particles is dispersed in an organic solvent is applied to the substrate by a wet coating method using a bar coater. A method of forming a transparent laminate by applying to a coating (see, for example, Patent Document 1), a rutile type titanium oxide, a heterocyclic nitrogen compound (eg, pyridine), an ultraviolet curable binder, and an organic solvent. A method for forming a transparent laminate by applying a composition for forming a refractive index coating film on a substrate by a wet coating method using a bar coater (for example, see Patent Document 2) is disclosed.

  However, in the methods disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, since the medium of the coating liquid for forming a high refractive index layer is mainly formed of an organic solvent, the high refractive index layer is formed and dried. As a result, a large amount of organic solvent is scattered, which causes environmental problems. Furthermore, in the method disclosed above, an ultraviolet curable binder or a thermosetting binder is used as a binder, and a high refractive index layer is formed and then cured by ultraviolet rays or heat. It has become.

  Multi-layer coating using a water-based refractive index forming coating solution, not an organic solvent, reduces manufacturing costs, enables a large area, is flexible, has excellent near-infrared reflectivity, and transmits visible light A near-infrared reflective film having a high rate and a near-infrared reflector provided with the near-infrared reflective film are also conceivable. However, the long-term storage stability, haze, and optical properties of the liquid are not sufficient, and it has not been put into practical use.

  In order to improve the long-term storage stability of an aqueous coating solution, an example using an antifungal agent is known (see, for example, Patent Document 3). Patent Document 3 discloses an aqueous organosilicon composition containing an alkoxysilane compound and an antifungal agent.

JP-A-8-110401 JP 2004-123766 A JP-A-6-128055

  However, it has been found that in the configuration of Patent Document 3, the flexibility of the coating film and the haze of the coating film are not sufficient.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its purpose is low manufacturing cost, large area is possible, and even when the coating liquid is stored for a long time, there is little occurrence of coating failure, with low haze, An object of the present invention is to provide a near-infrared reflective film excellent in near-infrared reflectivity, visible light transparency and flexibility, and a near-infrared reflector provided with the near-infrared reflective film.

An excellent near infrared reflective film and a near infrared reflector provided with the near infrared reflective film can be provided.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail below, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

  The present invention contains at least one of a high refractive index layer and a low refractive index layer of a near-infrared reflective film, metal oxide particles, gelatins or polyvinyl alcohols, and an antibacterial or antifungal agent. The present inventors have found that a near-infrared reflective film having the above-described effect can be obtained by forming using an aqueous refractive index forming coating solution.

  By setting it as the said structure, the mechanism in which the said effect is acquired is estimated as follows.

  In general, when an antibacterial or antifungal agent is contained in the aqueous solution, the generation of foreign matters in the coating solution is reduced by the antibacterial or antifungal action, and failures due to foreign matters during application are reduced. Many antibacterial or antifungal agents used in aqueous solutions have many compounds having a polar group for imparting water solubility in the chemical structure. On the other hand, it is known that the surface charge of the metal oxide contributes to the dispersion stability of the metal oxide. However, since the polar group of the antibacterial or antifungal agent interacts with the surface of the metal oxide and changes the charge balance, the metal oxide tends to aggregate, resulting in deterioration of haze when forming a coating film. . Even when the metal oxide is added in a layer separate from the antibacterial or antifungal agent, the antibacterial or antifungal agent diffuses into the layer containing the metal oxide and similarly causes deterioration of the haze of the coating film. The gelatin or polyvinyl alcohol having the constitution of the present invention is interposed between the antibacterial or antifungal agent and the metal oxide surface, thereby reducing the interaction that destabilizes the charge balance, and It is presumed that haze increase due to aggregation could be suppressed. Moreover, it is thought that near-infrared reflectivity and visible-light transmittance are also improved by suppressing aggregation of a metal oxide. On the other hand, it is considered that the presence of gelatins or polyvinyl alcohol can also stably provide antibacterial or antifungal agents, reduce coating failures, and improve flexibility.

  From the above, it is presumed that by using the configuration of the present invention, the occurrence of coating failure, low haze, near infrared reflectivity, visible light transparency and flexibility can be achieved.

  Hereinafter, the component of the near-infrared reflective film of this invention, the form for implementing this invention, etc. are demonstrated in detail.

[Near-infrared reflective film]
The near-infrared reflective film of the present invention includes a base material and at least one unit composed of a high refractive index layer and a low refractive index layer.

  In general, in the near-infrared reflective film, it is preferable to design a large difference in refractive index between the high refractive index layer and the low refractive index layer from the viewpoint of increasing the infrared reflectance with a small number of layers. In the present invention, in at least one of the units composed of the high refractive index layer and the low refractive index layer, the refractive index difference between the adjacent high refractive index layer and the low refractive index layer is preferably 0.1 or more. More preferably, it is 0.3 or more, More preferably, it is 0.35 or more, Especially preferably, it is 0.4 or more. When the near-infrared reflective film has a plurality of high refractive index layer and low refractive index layer units, the refractive index difference between the high refractive index layer and the low refractive index layer in all the units is within the preferred range. It is preferable. However, regarding the outermost layer and the lowermost layer, a configuration outside the above preferred range may be used.

  The reflectance in the specific wavelength region is determined by the difference in refractive index between two adjacent layers and the number of stacked layers, and the larger the difference in refractive index, the same reflectance can be obtained with a smaller number of layers. The refractive index difference and the required number of layers can be calculated using commercially available optical design software. For example, in order to obtain an infrared reflectance of 90% or more, if the difference in refractive index is less than 0.1, it is necessary to laminate 200 layers or more, which not only decreases productivity but also scattering at the interface of the layers. Becomes larger, the transparency is lowered, and it becomes very difficult to manufacture without failure. From the viewpoint of improving the reflectivity and reducing the number of layers, there is no upper limit to the difference in refractive index, but practically about 1.4 is the limit.

  Furthermore, as an optical characteristic of the near-infrared reflective film of the present invention, the transmittance in the visible light region shown in JIS R3106-1998 is 50% or more, preferably 75% or more, more preferably 85% or more. Moreover, it is preferable to have a region having a reflectance exceeding 50% in a region having a wavelength of 900 nm to 1400 nm.

  Next, the basic configuration outline of the high refractive index layer and the low refractive index layer in the near-infrared reflective film of the present invention will be described.

  In the near-infrared reflective film of this invention, what is necessary is just the structure which contains at least 1 unit comprised from a high refractive index layer and a low refractive index layer on a base material. As the number of layers of the high refractive index layer and the low refractive index layer, from the above viewpoint, the range of the total number of layers is 100 layers or less, that is, 50 units or less, more preferably 40 layers (20 units) or less. More preferably, it is 20 layers (10 units) or less.

  The total thickness of the near-infrared reflective film of the present invention is preferably 12 μm to 315 μm, more preferably 15 μm to 200 μm, and still more preferably 20 μm to 100 μm.

  In the near-infrared film, the preferred film surface pH is 0.5 or more and 6.0 or less.

  The zeta potential of metal oxides is stable with positive charge on the low pH side, and the dissociation equilibrium constant (pKa) of dissociable protons possessed by the antibacterial or antifungal agent is on the high pH side, and these are on the low pH side. Both of the metal oxide and the antibacterial or antifungal agent are stable on the low pH side for two reasons of being stable without crossing the pKa of the metal oxide, the antibacterial or antifungal agent, It is presumed that this interaction is relaxed. For this reason, when the film surface pH is within the above range, the charge balance on the surface of the metal oxide is good, and the formation of metal oxide aggregates is small, so that the haze deterioration of the coating film can be suppressed. It is done.

  Since the visible light transmittance is further improved, the film surface pH is more preferably 0.5 or more and 5.0 or less. The membrane surface pH is 1.0 or more and 5.0 or less, particularly preferably 3.5, since the acidity of the membrane is appropriate and a strong membrane can be obtained even when a durability test is performed. Above, it is below 5.0.

  The film surface pH can be measured, for example, by the following method. Using a digital pH meter HM-18B manufactured by Toa Denpa Kogyo Co., Ltd., standardize the pH meter, measure 50 μl of distilled water with a micropipette, and drop it on the surface of the refractive index layer unit of the near-infrared reflective film to be measured. Then, the measurement electrode of the pH meter is lowered perpendicularly to the water drop and placed on the membrane surface, and the measured value after 30 seconds is read, and this can be defined as the membrane surface pH.

  The film surface pH of the present invention is appropriately added to the coating solution by adding an acid such as hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid, carbonic acid and acetic acid, such as a lower fatty acid having 10 or less carbon atoms, or an alkali such as sodium hydroxide or lithium hydroxide. It can be adjusted by doing.

  In the present invention, at least one layer in the unit contains metal oxide particles, gelatins or polyvinyl alcohols, and antibacterial or antifungal agents. Hereinafter, each component will be described in detail.

Also called).

  At this time, the antibacterial agents may be contained in either the high refractive index layer or the low refractive index layer, but since the haze value is reduced and the transparency of the film is improved, at least in the low refractive index layer. Antibacterial agents are preferably included. Even if antibacterial agents are included in the low refractive index layer, it is considered that the interaction with the metal particles is small and the dispersion of the metal oxide particles is hardly inhibited.

  The total amount of the antibacterial or antifungal agent to be added is not particularly limited, but is preferably in the range of 1 to 10,000 ppm (mass / mass) with respect to the coating solution volume to be used. Furthermore, it is preferably 10 to 2000 ppm, particularly preferably 30 to 500 ppm. The content of the antibacterial or antifungal agent in the final refractive index layer is preferably 100 to 2000 ppm (mass / mass), and more preferably 600 to 1000 ppm (mass / mass).

  The heat insulation performance and solar heat shielding performance of a near-infrared reflective film or near-infrared reflector are generally JIS R 3209 (multi-layer glass), JIS R 3106 (transmission, reflectance, emissivity, solar radiation of plate glass). Heat acquisition rate test method), and a method based on JIS R 3107 (calculation method of thermal resistance of plate glass and heat transmissivity in architecture).

  The solar transmittance, solar reflectance, emissivity, and visible light transmittance are measured by (1) using a spectrophotometer having a wavelength (300 to 2500 nm) to measure the spectral transmittance and spectral reflectance of various single plate glasses. Further, the emissivity is measured using a spectrophotometer having a wavelength of 5.5 to 50 μm. In addition, a predetermined value is used for the emissivity of float plate glass, polished plate glass, mold plate glass, and heat ray absorbing plate glass. (2) The solar transmittance, solar reflectance, solar absorption rate, and modified emissivity are calculated according to JIS R 3106 by calculating the solar transmittance, solar reflectance, solar absorption rate, and vertical emissivity. The corrected emissivity is obtained by multiplying the coefficient shown in JIS R 3107 by the vertical emissivity. The heat insulation and solar heat shielding properties are calculated by (1) calculating the thermal resistance of the multilayer glass according to JIS R 3209 using the measured thickness value and the corrected emissivity. However, when the hollow layer exceeds 2 mm, the gas thermal conductance of the hollow layer is determined in accordance with JIS R 3107. (2) The heat insulation is obtained by adding a heat transfer resistance to the heat resistance of the double-glazed glass and calculating the heat flow resistance. (3) Solar heat shielding properties are calculated by obtaining the solar heat acquisition rate according to JIS R 3106 and subtracting from 1.
