は、そのシートを車体の必要箇所に載置し、次いで車体
を乾燥炉内を通過させることによって行われる。(2) Prior Art Conventionally, a heat-adhesive vibration damping sheet has been used to improve the vibration damping properties of a vehicle body. The operation of attaching the vibration damping sheet is performed by placing the sheet on a required portion of the vehicle body and then passing the vehicle body through a drying oven.
(3)発明が解決しようとする課題 しかしながら前記制振シートによると、それを載置す

ない、という問題がある。例えば、車体のリヤフロア、
フロントフロア等の略水平な部分や傾斜の緩い部分には
制振シートを貼着することができても、ロードノイズ低
減効果のあるホイールハウス等の略鉛直な部分や傾斜の
急な部分には制振シートを貼着することができない。(3) Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, according to the vibration-damping sheet, there is a problem that a vibration-proof measure cannot be taken at a place where the vibration-damping sheet cannot be placed. For example, the rear floor of the car body,
Even if a vibration damping sheet can be attached to a substantially horizontal part such as the front floor or a part with a gentle slope, it can be applied to a substantially vertical part or a steep part such as a wheel house that has a road noise reduction effect. The vibration damping sheet cannot be stuck.
本発明は前記に鑑み、車体等各種部材の任意の箇所に
防振対策を講ずることのできる前記塗料を提供すること
を目的とする。In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide the paint capable of taking anti-vibration measures at an arbitrary position of various members such as a vehicle body.
B.発明の構成 (1)課題を解決するための手段 本発明に係る制振用焼付乾燥型塗料は、ポリエステル
ポリオール100重量に対して、炭酸カルシウム75〜300重
量部、水0.7〜2.5重量部および高沸点芳香族系溶剤8〜
30重量部を配合した主成分と、該主成分100重量部に対
する配合割合が26〜100重量部のジフェニルメタンジイ
ソシアネートとより構成されることを特徴とする。B. Configuration of the Invention (1) Means for Solving the Problems The baking dry type paint for vibration damping according to the present invention comprises 75 to 300 parts by weight of calcium carbonate and 0.7 to 2.5 parts by weight of water based on 100 parts by weight of polyester polyol. And high boiling aromatic solvents 8 to
It is characterized by comprising 30 parts by weight of a main component and diphenylmethane diisocyanate in a proportion of 26 to 100 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the main component.
(2)作用 前記のように構成すると、スプレー塗布が可能で垂れ
防止機能を備えた塗料が調製され、この塗料により制振
作用を発揮する耐衝撃性の優れた発泡ポリウレタン系の
制振塗膜が形成される。(2) Action When configured as described above, a paint that can be spray-coated and has a dripping prevention function is prepared, and a foamed polyurethane-based vibration-damping coating exhibiting excellent shock resistance, which exerts a vibration-damping action by this paint. Is formed.
各成分の配合理由および配合量限定理由は次の通りで
ある。The reasons for blending each component and the reasons for limiting the amount of blending are as follows.
ポリエステルポリオール、ジフェニルメタンジイソシ
アネート(以下、MDIと称す)および水は、発泡ポリウ
レタン系制振塗膜を得るための塗膜形成成分である。Polyester polyol, diphenylmethane diisocyanate (hereinafter, referred to as MDI) and water are film-forming components for obtaining a foamed polyurethane-based damping film.
この場合、MDIの配合量が主成分に対して26重量部未
満では、重合度が低いため、高強度な制振塗膜を得るこ
とができず、一方、100重合部を上回って配合しても効
果は変らないので経済的に不利となる。In this case, if the compounding amount of MDI is less than 26 parts by weight with respect to the main component, the degree of polymerization is low, so that a high-strength vibration-damping coating film cannot be obtained. Is also economically disadvantageous because the effect remains unchanged.
水は、MDIと反応して炭酸ガスを発生し、この炭酸ガ
スにより制振塗膜を発泡させることができる。たゞし、
水の配合量が0.7重量部未満では発泡が不十分であり、
一方、2.5重量部を上回ると、発泡が過度に進行して制
振塗膜が脆くなる。Water reacts with the MDI to generate carbon dioxide gas, and the carbon dioxide gas can foam the damping coating. A lot
If the amount of water is less than 0.7 parts by weight, foaming is insufficient,
On the other hand, if it exceeds 2.5 parts by weight, foaming proceeds excessively and the vibration damping coating film becomes brittle.
炭酸カルシウムは、塗料の垂れを防止し、また制振塗
膜の耐衝撃性を向上させる効果を有する。たゞし、炭酸
カルシウムの配合量が75重量部未満では、前記効果を得
ることができず、一方、300重量部を上回ると、制振塗
膜が脆くなる。Calcium carbonate has the effect of preventing the paint from sagging and improving the impact resistance of the damping coating. However, if the amount of calcium carbonate is less than 75 parts by weight, the above effect cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if it exceeds 300 parts by weight, the damping coating film becomes brittle.
高沸点芳香族系溶剤は、塗料の塗布性および塗着性を
調節するために用いられる。たゞし、前記溶剤の配合量
が8重量部未満ではスプレー塗布性が悪化し、一方、30
重量部を上回ると、垂れが発生する。The high-boiling aromatic solvent is used to adjust the coating properties and coating properties of the paint. However, when the amount of the solvent is less than 8 parts by weight, the spray coatability is deteriorated.
If the amount exceeds the weight part, sagging occurs.
また高沸点芳香族系溶剤としては、ジエチルベンゼ
ン、イソプロピルベンゼン、トリアミルベンゼン、テト
ラアミルベンゼン、ジドデシルベンゼン、アミルトルエ
ン、p−シメン、テトラリン、デカリン、ジペンテン、
p−メンタン等が用いられる。Examples of the high-boiling aromatic solvent include diethylbenzene, isopropylbenzene, triamylbenzene, tetraamylbenzene, didodecylbenzene, amyltoluene, p-cymene, tetralin, decalin, dipentene,
p-Mentane or the like is used.
制振塗膜の焼付乾燥温度は120〜180℃が適当である。
その温度が180℃を上回ると、制振塗膜が脆くなり、一
方、温度が120℃未満であると、発泡が不十分になる。The baking and drying temperature of the damping coating is preferably from 120 to 180 ° C.
If the temperature is higher than 180 ° C, the damping coating film becomes brittle, while if the temperature is lower than 120 ° C, foaming becomes insufficient.
