2. Description of the Related Art Stainless steel sheets having excellent corrosion resistance and design are often used for building materials such as interior materials and exterior materials. Stainless steel sheet has a beautiful surface, and its appearance is used for BA material, 2B material, dull finish material, # 4
It is shipped as polishing finish, hairline finish, emboss finish, etc. By the way, in recent years, air pollution due to soot, exhaust gas, and the like has become serious around the city, and the dirt on the exterior material has become conspicuous.
In particular, in a portion under the window frame or the like where rainwater gathers and flows, dirt floating in the rainwater adheres to the surface of the exterior material, and streaky dirt is easily generated. Although dirt on the exterior material can be removed by washing, repeated washing is not only complicated, but also a large-scale building such as a building requires dangerous and difficult work. Streaky stains are not only caused by rainwater,
Some are derived from the resin content eluted from the caulking agent filled in the joints of stainless steel panels. This type of dirt cannot be easily removed by washing with normal water.
In addition, the appearance of interior materials such as elevator doors deteriorates due to fingerprints. Also in this case, it is necessary to wash and remove the attached fingerprint.

Acrylic clear coating, fluorine clear coating and the like are known as antifouling treatments for stainless steel plates used for exterior materials and interior materials. By applying a clear coating, stains on the surface of the stainless steel plate can be easily wiped off. However, since the adhesion of dirt itself cannot be suppressed, regular wiping work is still required.
Therefore, a method has been studied in which a photocatalytic coating that causes a photocatalytic reaction is applied to the surface of a metal, glass, or the like to impart oily resolution and hydrophilicity, and the attached dirt is decomposed and washed away (WO96 / 29375).

In order to impart the stain-preventing effect of the photocatalyst to the surface of the steel sheet while maintaining the excellent design of the stainless steel sheet, it is necessary to form a clear photocatalyst layer. However, in order to obtain a film that is clear and does not cause cracks when irradiated with light by the conventional method, the photocatalyst layer must be thinned. Although a thin photocatalyst layer is expected to have an effect of washing off stains due to the hydrophilicity imparted to the surface of the steel sheet, it does not have properties sufficient to decompose attached stains. Moreover, when a thin and clear photocatalyst layer is formed by using a stainless steel plate having a strong reflected light on the surface as a base material, an interference color is conspicuous and the appearance of the stainless steel plate is deteriorated.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been devised in order to solve such a problem, and stains are formed by forming a photocatalyst layer on the surface of a stainless steel plate having irregularities formed by embossing. It is an object of the present invention to obtain a stainless steel plate that improves resolution and prevents appearance defects due to interference colors. In order to achieve the object, the embossed stainless steel plate of the present invention has an emboss depth of 5 to 50 μm, a convex flat portion length of 0.2 to 2.0 mm and a convex edge portion length of 3.
A stainless steel plate having an embossed pattern of 0 to 200 μm is used as a base material, and a photocatalyst layer is provided on the embossed pattern formation surface. If necessary, a clear intermediate layer may be provided between the embossed pattern forming surface and the photocatalyst layer. The photocatalyst layer is preferably set to a thickness of 0.1 to 6 μm as a single film thickness or a total film thickness with the intermediate layer. The intermediate layer is preferably made of a material having a low refractive index in order to suppress the development of interference color.

[Function] BA finishing material, 2B finishing material, dull finishing material,
When a photocatalyst layer is coated on a stainless steel plate such as # 4 finishing material or hairline finishing material, the leveling property of the photocatalyst coating liquid is good, and therefore the surface roughness after the photocatalytic coating is smaller than the surface roughness of the stainless steel plate. In this case, the effective surface area of the formed photocatalyst layer is almost the same as the apparent surface area, and the surface area required for the photocatalytic reaction, which is an interfacial reaction, tends to be insufficient. Moreover, since the photocatalyst layer has semiconductor characteristics and a high refractive index, even if the photocatalyst layer has a relatively thick film, it is easy to cause a light interference action. For example, in a general transparent coating, the interference color is not observed at a film thickness of 2 μm or more, but in the photocatalyst layer, the interference color is observed even at a film thickness of 5 μm except for the dull finish material.

Without detracting from the design of the stainless steel plate,
In order to impart the required catalytic activity to the surface of the steel sheet, it is necessary to form a photocatalyst layer having a sufficient effective surface area so as to be thin and not to develop an interference color. In the present invention,
In order to satisfy this requirement, a stainless steel plate with unevenness made by embossing is used as a base material. The embossed stainless steel plate 1 has a surface having a plurality of concave portions 2 and convex portions 3 (FIG. 1). When this surface is coated with the photocatalyst layer 4 (FIG. 2), the concave portions 2 and the convex portions 3 are formed.
The photocatalyst layer 4 having irregularities is formed to follow the shape of the above. Therefore, the effective surface area of the photocatalyst layer 4 is significantly larger than that of the photocatalyst layer formed on the flat stainless steel surface. Further, since the irregular reflection of light is promoted by the concave portion 2 and the convex portion 3, the interference action is suppressed. Therefore, even if the thin photocatalyst layer 4 is formed, since it has a large effective surface area, sufficient photocatalytic activity can be obtained, and color unevenness due to interference is suppressed. Further, the concave portion 2, the convex portion 3 and the photocatalyst layer 4
Since the mechanical meshing with the is increased, the adhesion of the photocatalyst layer 4 is also improved.

As for the uneven shape formed on the surface of the stainless steel plate 1 by embossing, the recess 2 is filled with the photocatalyst layer 4 at a shallow embossing depth, and the effective surface area of the photocatalyst layer 4 cannot be increased. Further, as the photocatalyst layer 4 becomes thicker, the concave portion 2
Also, the step (emboss depth) of the convex portion 3 is reduced, and the effective surface area of the photocatalyst layer 4 is reduced. Therefore, the photocatalyst layer 4
In order to secure a large effective surface area, it is preferable to properly manage the emboss depth and the film thickness of the photocatalyst layer 4. Further, as is clear from the results of investigations and studies by the present inventors, when the convex portion 3 is shortened, the appearance of interference color is prevented even if the photocatalytic layer 4 is a thin film. The influence of the length of the convex portion 3 on the appearance of the interference color is considered as follows. That is, the convex portions 3 distributed in an island shape on the surface of the stainless steel plate 1.
Is defined by the flat portion length a and the edge portion length b, the shorter the convex portion 3, the flat portion length a and the edge portion length b are repeated, and the film thickness of the photocatalyst layer 4 becomes nonuniform. The non-uniform film thickness continuously shifts the optical path difference of the reflected light reflected on the surface of the stainless steel plate 1 to suppress the light interference effect. The interference suppressing effect is also increased by interposing the intermediate layer 5 having a low refractive index between the stainless steel plate 1 (base material) and the photocatalyst layer 4. The intermediate layer 5 is also effective in improving the adhesion of the photocatalyst layer 4 to the stainless steel plate 1.

[Embodiment] As a stainless steel plate as a base material, there are ferrite type, austenite type, martensite type, etc.
Generally, SUS304 and SUS430 are used. The embossing can be embossing using a template having a predetermined pattern, but roll embossing with high productivity is preferable. In roll embossing, an embossing roll having an uneven pattern is used to roll a stainless steel plate to transfer the uneven pattern to the steel plate surface. Although FIG. 1 shows single-sided embossing, it goes without saying that the double-sided embossed stainless steel plate 1 can be used as a substrate. The concavo-convex pattern has an emboss depth of 5 to 50 μm and a flat part length a of 0. 0 to increase the effective surface area of the photocatalyst layer 4 formed thereon.
It is preferable that the edge length b is 2 to 2 mm and the edge length b is 30 to 200 μm. The photocatalyst layer 4 having a film thickness of 0.1 to 5 μm or the total film thickness of 0.1 to 0.1 is preferably formed on the uneven pattern.
When the photocatalyst layer 4 and the intermediate layer 5 having a thickness of 6 μm are formed, the effective surface area of the photocatalyst layer 4 is increased and a high photocatalytic activity is imparted, and the appearance defect due to the interference color is prevented.

When the emboss depth is less than 5 μm, the recess 2 is easily filled with the photocatalyst layer 4, and it becomes difficult to increase the effective surface area of the photocatalyst layer 4. On the contrary, if the emboss depth exceeds 50 μm, it becomes difficult to uniformly form the thin photocatalyst layer 4. Further, if the embossed pattern is too deep, incident light from an oblique direction is blocked by the convex portion 3 and a concave portion 2 which is a shadow is generated, so that the proportion of the photocatalytic layer 4 that does not contribute to the photocatalytic reaction tends to increase. In the convex portion 3 where the flat portion length a does not reach 0.2 mm, the photocatalyst coating liquid is applied to the stainless steel plate 1
When applied to the surface of, the amount of liquid retained by the convex portions 3 is small, and most of the liquid easily flows into the concave portions 2. As a result, the effective surface area of the photocatalyst layer 4 cannot be increased. On the contrary, 2.0
When the flat portion length a exceeds mm, the interference color is likely to appear on the convex portion 3 on which the photocatalyst layer 4 is formed. The edge length b is preferably 200 μm or less in order to increase the effective surface area of the photocatalyst layer 4. However, the edge length b is 3
When the thickness is 0 μm or less, embossing becomes difficult.

The stainless steel plate 1 having the concave portions 2 and the convex portions 3 formed by embossing is subjected to pretreatments such as degreasing, phosphate treatment and chromate treatment in order to improve the adhesion of the coating film. As the pretreatment, a method of surface conditioning and / or chromate treatment after degreasing, a hydrofluoric acid treatment method and the like are adopted.

The blending amount of the photocatalyst with respect to the paint is preferably set so that the photocatalyst content of the photocatalyst layer 4 formed is 20 to 80% by weight. If the photocatalyst content is less than 20% by weight, stain resolving power and hydrophilization are insufficient, and conversely, if the photocatalyst content exceeds 80% by weight, the coating film adhesion tends to deteriorate. The photocatalyst coating liquid contains a transparent film forming component such as silica, alumina, silica-alumina, or zeolite in addition to the photocatalyst.

Prior to applying the photocatalyst coating liquid,
If necessary, a clear intermediate layer 5 can be formed on the stainless steel plate 1. Materials for the intermediate layer 5 include ceramics having a low refractive index, metal oxides, and the like, and specifically, oxides such as silica, alumina, zeolite, and tin oxide are used. The mechanism by which the interference color is suppressed by the intermediate layer 5 having a low refractive index is considered as follows. That is, the light transmitted through the photocatalyst layer 4 is refracted by the intermediate layer 5, but since the intermediate layer 5 has a smaller refractive index than the photocatalyst layer 4,
The reflection angle on the surface of the stainless steel plate 1 becomes large,
The interference color is suppressed. Above all, the intermediate layer 5 having a refractive index of 2 or less has a large effect of suppressing the interference color.

The intermediate layer 5 is effective in improving the chemical bond between the stainless steel plate 1 and the photocatalyst layer 4 and improving the adhesion of the photocatalyst layer 4. That is, although a hydroxyl group is present on the surface of the pretreated stainless steel sheet 1, this hydroxyl group undergoes a dehydration condensation reaction with the hydroxyl group of the metal hydroxide in the sol used for forming the intermediate layer 5, resulting in a strong chemical bondability. Express. In addition, the oxide on the surface of the intermediate layer 5 is firmly bonded to the sol that serves as a binder when the photocatalyst layer 4 is formed. As a result, the photocatalyst layer 4 is firmly bonded to the stainless steel plate 1 via the intermediate layer 5. The intermediate layer 5 is also effective in improving catalytic performance such as oil-degrading ability, gas-degrading ability, and moisture absorption ability, as will be seen in Examples described later.

A test piece was cut out from each stainless steel plate on which the photocatalyst layer 4 was formed and subjected to an oily decomposition performance test and an appearance test. In the oil quality decomposition performance test, the attached amount was 0.2 mg /
Salad oil was attached to the test piece in cm 2 , and the test piece was subjected to ultraviolet irradiation for 24 hours using black light (wavelength 365 nm, ultraviolet intensity 3 mW / cm 2 ). Then, the weight change was obtained from the weight of the test piece before and after the ultraviolet irradiation, and the oil decomposition rate was calculated from the weight change. In the appearance test, the interference color was investigated by visually observing the test piece from various angles. No interference color was detected regardless of the observation angle, ⊚, no interference color was detected when observing from the front, but slightly interference color was detected when observing from the horizontal direction. When the interference color was detected even when observed from the direction, it was evaluated as x.

As can be seen from the investigation results in Table 1, in the comparative example in which the photocatalyst layer was formed on the stainless steel having the surface finish excluding the embossed finish, the interference occurred in any case regardless of the kind of the surface finish. Color unevenness due to color was observed. On the other hand, in the case where the photocatalyst layer was formed on the embossed stainless steel plate, or the intermediate layer and the photocatalyst layer were formed, the appearance of interference color was suppressed and the oil decomposition rate was high. In particular, when the intermediate layer 5 was interposed, no interference color was developed. Even when a thin photocatalyst layer was formed (Test No. 3), the embossed pattern prevented the development of interference colors.

As described above, in the present invention, since the photocatalyst layer is provided on the surface of the embossed stainless steel plate, the effective surface area of the photocatalyst layer can be increased, and the photocatalyst layer can be made thin even if it is thin. Photocatalytic activity is imparted to the surface of the stainless steel plate. Further, since the irregular reflection of light is promoted by the embossed pattern and the optical path difference of the reflected light becomes large, the appearance of interference colors is suppressed, and the exterior material without color unevenness,
It is possible to obtain building materials suitable for interior and exterior materials.
