【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、高価な光干渉性顔料の配合量を少なくし、かつ光干渉性などの意匠性のすぐれた複層塗膜の形成方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術とその課題】
自動車外板部に、酸化チタンまたは酸化鉄で被覆されたシリカフレ−クを光干渉性顔料として含有せしめた塗料、およびクリヤ塗料を塗装して、光干渉性の上塗り複層塗膜を形成することはすでに公知である。特にこのシリカフレ−クを含む光干渉性顔料は、雲母などの他の干渉性顔料に比べて多色性で意匠的にすぐれた塗膜を形成するが、かかる効果を得るために多量に配合しなければならず、この顔料自体高価であり、そのために塗料コストが非常に高くなり、すぐれた意匠性効果を十分に発揮できないという欠陥を有している。
【0003】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、シリカフレ−クを含む光干渉性顔料の配合量を少なくして塗料コストを低減せしめ、しかもこの顔料が有する光干渉性多色効果などの意匠性のすぐれた複層上塗り塗膜を形成する方法に関する。その特徴は、濃色上塗り塗膜面にシリカフレ−クを含む光干渉性顔料含有塗料を塗装すると、この光干渉性顔料を少なくしても、多色効果などをなんら低下させずに光干渉性のすぐれた上塗り塗膜が形成できることを見出し、本発明を完成した。
【0004】
しかして本発明は、濃色塗膜形成塗料(A)、酸化チタンまたは酸化鉄で被覆されたシリカフレ−ク(以下、被覆シリカフレ−クという)を樹脂固形分100重量部あたり、0.1〜2重量部含有し、かつ下地隠蔽膜厚が40μm以上である光干渉性塗膜形成塗料(B)および透明塗膜形成クリヤ塗料(C)を塗装することを特徴する複層塗膜形成方法が提供される。
【0005】
以下に、本発明の方法について詳細に説明する。
【0006】
濃色塗膜形成塗料(A)
濃色塗膜を形成する塗料であり、特に、Hunter Lab系でのL値(明度)が20以下の濃色塗膜を形成する液状塗料が好適である。このものは、光干渉性塗膜形成塗料(B)に先立って被塗面に塗装する。
【0007】
濃色塗膜形成塗料(A)は、熱硬化性樹脂組成物、着色顔料および溶剤を含有する液状塗料であり、その硬化塗膜は黒色系、紺色系、褐色系などの濃色に着色されており、Hunter Lab系でのL値(明度)が20以下、特に10〜1の範囲内に含まれることが好ましく、L値が20より大きくなると(淡色になる)、塗料(B)の被覆シリカフレ−クによる光干渉性が低下するので好ましくない。
【0008】
塗料(A)の塗膜の色調は隣接する上層の塗料(B)の光干渉性塗膜を透して見ることができるので、これらの両塗料を塗り重ねた複層塗膜を目視観察すると、下層の塗料(A)塗膜が濃色であるために、上層の塗料(B)塗膜中の被覆シリカフレ−クが少量であっても効率よく光干渉して、この被覆シリカフレ−クが有する多色効果などの効果を十分に発揮することができる。塗料(A)塗膜のL値が20より大きくなるとこの塗膜からの反射光が多くなるので、塗料(B)塗膜中の被覆シリカフレ−クが少量では光干渉が弱くなり、多色効果が殆ど見られなくなる。
【0009】
熱硬化性樹脂組成物として、水酸基などの架橋性官能基を1分子中に2個以上有するポリエステル樹脂、アクリル樹脂、アルキド樹脂などの基体樹脂およびメラミン樹脂、尿素樹脂、(ブロック)ポリイソシアネ−ト化合物などの架橋剤からなる組成物が好適に使用できる。
【0010】
着色顔料は、塗料(A)の塗膜のL値を20以下に調色するためのものであり、通常の塗料用ソリッドカラ−顔料が使用でき、例えば、チタン白、亜鉛華、カ−ボンブラック、モリブデ−トオレンジ、ベンガラ、ナフト−ル系、ピラゾロン系、ベンツイミダゾロン系、アントラキノン系、チオインジゴ系、ペリレン系、キナクリドン系、チタンイエロ−、モノアゾ系、ジスアゾ系、縮合アゾ系、アンソラピリミジン系、コバルトグリ−ン、フタロシアニングリ−ン、群青、コバルトブル−、フタロシアニンブル−、コバルトバイオレットなどの無機系および有機系の顔料があげられる。さらに、アルミニウムなどの金属フレ−ク、金属酸化物被覆雲母フレ−ク、雲母フレ−ク、板状酸化鉄顔料、板状グラファイト顔料などの薄片光輝性顔料(メタリック顔料)をこれらのソリッドカラ−顔料と併用することができる。これらの顔料を適宜組み合わせて塗料(A)の塗膜のL値を20以下に調製する。
【0011】
さらに、硫酸バリウム、炭酸バリウム、クレ−、タルク、シリカなどの無着色の体質顔料も併用できる。溶剤としては有機溶剤および(または)水などが使用できる。有機溶剤は、通常の塗料用溶剤が好ましく、炭化水素系、アルコ−ル系、エステル系、エ−テル系、ケトン系などがあげれる。
【0012】
塗料(A)は、これらの熱硬化性樹脂組成物および着色顔料を溶剤に溶解もしくは分散せしめることにより得られるが、さらに必要に応じて沈降防止剤、塗面調整剤、紫外線安定剤、付着付与剤などを適宜含有せしめることができる。
【0013】
また、塗料(A)の下地隠蔽膜厚は硬化塗膜で10〜40μmの範囲が適している。ここで、下地隠蔽膜厚とは該塗膜を透して隣接する下層の白黒市松模様が見えなくなる最小硬化膜厚のことである。
【0014】
塗料(A)は、金属製もしくはプラスチック製の自動車または電気製品の外板部などの被塗物に直接に塗装することは可能であるが、下塗り塗料や中塗り塗料(省略可能)などをあらかじめ塗装し硬化させてなる被塗物に塗装することが好ましい。
【0015】
塗料(A)の粘度を10〜40秒/フォ−ドカップ#4/20℃に調整し、エアスプレ−、エアレススプレ−、静電方式などで噴霧塗装し、その膜厚は硬化塗膜を基準に、下地隠蔽膜厚(10〜40μm)またはそれ以上であることが好ましい。
【0016】
本発明では、塗料(A)の塗膜を約120〜160℃で10〜40分加熱し硬化させてからまたは未硬化の状態で、該塗面に光干渉性塗膜形成塗料(B)を塗装する。
【0017】

【0018】
被覆シリカフレ−クは、不規則な平らなりん片状で、雲母粉末のような光干渉顔料では見られない二色効果を始めとする劇的な視覚的効果をもたらすことがき、これを含有せしめた塗膜は、光の入射角の変動または観察方向(すなわち反射角度)により緑色〜赤紫色、金色〜橙色に変化することができる。
【0019】

【0020】
塗料(B)は、被覆シリカフレ−ク、熱硬化性樹脂組成物および溶剤を含有する液状塗料であり、さらに必要に応じて着色顔料、メタリック顔料、沈降防止剤、塗面調整剤、紫外線吸収剤、紫外線安定剤などを含有せしめることができる。これらのうち、熱硬化性樹脂組成物、溶剤、着色顔料およびメタリック顔料などは塗料(A)で例示したものが好適に使用できる。
【0021】
また、塗料(B)における被覆シリカフレ−クの配合量は、熱硬化性樹脂組成物100重量部(固形分)あたり、0.1〜2重量部、特に0.3〜1重量部が適している。この配合量は、これまで一般的な配合量とされている5〜10重量部に比べて極めて少量であり、低コストにすることができた。
【0022】
塗料(B)は、上記した成分を溶剤(有機溶剤および/または水)に溶解もしくは分散せしめることにより得ることができ、その下地隠蔽膜厚は硬化塗膜で40μm以上、特に50〜300μmの範囲が適している。
【0023】
塗料(B)は、上塗り塗料(A)の硬化もしくは未硬化の塗面に塗装する。具体的には、粘度を10〜40秒/フォ−ドカップ#4/20℃に調整し、これをエアスプレ−、エアレススプレ−、静電方式などにより、硬化塗膜を基準に、上記の隠蔽膜厚以下、特に5〜35μmの膜厚に塗装することが好ましい。
【0024】
本発明では、塗料(B)を塗装後、約120〜160℃で10〜40分加熱して硬化させてから、または硬化させずに未硬化の状態で、該塗面に透明塗膜形成クリヤ塗料(C)を塗装する。
【0025】
クリヤ塗料(C)
塗料(B)の硬化もしくは未硬化の塗面に塗装する、透明塗膜を形成する塗料である。
【0026】
具体的には、熱硬化性樹脂組成物および溶剤(有機溶剤および/または水)を含有する液状塗料であり、さらに必要に応じて着色顔料、メタリック顔料、沈降防止剤、塗面調整剤、紫外線吸収剤などを適宜含有せしめることができる。着色顔料およびメタリック顔料は、該透明塗膜の透明性を阻害しない程度に配合することが好ましい。これらの熱硬化性樹脂組成物、溶剤、着色顔料およびメタリック顔料などは上塗り塗料(A)の説明で例示したものが好適に使用できる。
【0027】
塗料(C)は、上記の各成分を溶剤に溶解もしくは分散せしめることにより得られ、塗料(B)の硬化もしくは未硬化の塗面に塗装する。塗料(C)の粘度を10〜40秒/フォ−ドカップ#4/20℃に調整し、これをエアスプレ−、エアレススプレ−、静電方式などにより、硬化塗膜を基準に、20〜50μmの膜厚になるように塗装することが好ましい。塗料(C)を塗装後、約120〜160℃で10〜40分加熱して塗膜を硬化させることにより、本発明の方法が達成される。
【0028】
本発明において、塗料(A)、塗料(B)および塗料(C)を塗装するにあたり、これらの塗料を3コ−ト1ベイク方式、3コ−ト2ベイク方式および3コ−ト3ベイク方式などで塗装できるが、特に、塗料(A)を塗装し、加熱硬化後、塗料(B)および塗料(C)をウエットオンウエットで塗装し、ついで加熱してこの両塗膜を硬化せしめる3コ−ト2ベイク方式が特に好適である。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for forming a multi-layer coating film in which the amount of an expensive light interference pigment is reduced and the design properties such as light interference are excellent.
[0002]
[Prior art and its problems]
Applying a paint that contains silica flakes coated with titanium oxide or iron oxide as a light interference pigment, and a clear paint on the outer surface of the automobile to form a light interference top coat multilayer coating film Is already known. In particular, the light interference pigment containing silica flakes forms a polychromatic and excellent design film compared to other interference pigments such as mica, but is incorporated in a large amount to obtain such an effect. The pigment itself is expensive, so that the coating cost is very high, and the excellent design effect cannot be exhibited sufficiently.
[0003]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention reduces the coating cost by reducing the blending amount of the light interference pigment containing silica flakes, and further provides a multi-layer topcoat film having excellent design such as the light interference multicolor effect of the pigment. It relates to a method of forming. The feature is that when a paint containing a light interference pigment containing silica flakes is applied to the surface of the dark-colored top coat film, even if this light interference pigment is reduced, the light interference property is not reduced. The present invention was completed by finding that an excellent top coat film can be formed.
[0004]
Thus, the present invention relates to a dark color coating film-forming paint (A), silica flake coated with titanium oxide or iron oxide (hereinafter referred to as coated silica flake) in an amount of 0.1 to 100 parts by weight of resin solid content. A multilayer coating film forming method characterized by coating a light-interfering coating film-forming paint (B) and a transparent coating film-forming clear paint (C) containing 2 parts by weight and having a base concealing film thickness of 40 μm or more Provided.
[0005]
Hereinafter, the method of the present invention will be described in detail.
[0006]
Dark paint film-forming paint (A) :
A paint that forms a dark color coating film, and particularly a liquid paint that forms a dark color coating film having an L value (lightness) of 20 or less in the Hunter Lab system is suitable. This is applied to the surface to be coated prior to the light-interfering coating film-forming paint (B).
[0007]
The dark paint film-forming paint (A) is a liquid paint containing a thermosetting resin composition, a color pigment and a solvent, and the cured paint film is colored in a dark color such as black, amber, brown. The L value (lightness) in the Hunter Lab system is preferably 20 or less, particularly preferably within the range of 10 to 1, and when the L value is larger than 20 (light color), the coating of the paint (B) This is not preferable because the light interference due to silica flakes is lowered.
[0008]
Since the color tone of the coating film of the paint (A) can be seen through the light-interfering coating film of the adjacent upper paint (B), when the multi-layer paint film in which these two paints are applied is visually observed, Since the lower coating (A) coating film is dark, even if a small amount of coating silica flake is present in the upper coating (B) coating, it efficiently interferes with light, and this coating silica flake Effects such as the multicolor effect can be fully exhibited. When the L value of the paint (A) coating film is larger than 20, the reflected light from the coating film increases, so if the coating silica flake in the paint (B) coating film is small, the light interference becomes weak and a multicolor effect. Can hardly be seen.
[0009]
As thermosetting resin compositions, polyester resins having two or more crosslinkable functional groups such as hydroxyl groups in one molecule, base resins such as acrylic resins and alkyd resins, melamine resins, urea resins, (block) polyisocyanate compounds A composition comprising a crosslinking agent such as can be suitably used.
[0010]
The color pigment is for adjusting the L value of the coating film of the paint (A) to 20 or less, and an ordinary solid color pigment for paint can be used, for example, titanium white, zinc white, carbon Black, molybdate orange, bengara, naphthol, pyrazolone, benzimidazolone, anthraquinone, thioindigo, perylene, quinacridone, titanium yellow, monoazo, disazo, condensed azo, anthora Examples thereof include inorganic and organic pigments such as pyrimidine, cobalt green, phthalocyanine, ultramarine, cobalt blue, phthalocyanine blue, and cobalt violet. In addition, flake glitter pigments (metallic pigments) such as metal flakes such as aluminum, metal oxide-coated mica flakes, mica flakes, plate-like iron oxide pigments and plate-like graphite pigments are used as solid colors. Can be used in combination with pigments. The L value of the coating film (A) is adjusted to 20 or less by appropriately combining these pigments.
[0011]
Further, non-colored extender pigments such as barium sulfate, barium carbonate, clay, talc and silica can be used in combination. As the solvent, an organic solvent and / or water can be used. The organic solvent is preferably a normal coating solvent, and examples thereof include hydrocarbon-based, alcohol-based, ester-based, ether-based, and ketone-based solvents.
[0012]
The paint (A) can be obtained by dissolving or dispersing these thermosetting resin compositions and color pigments in a solvent. If necessary, an anti-settling agent, a coating surface conditioner, an ultraviolet stabilizer, and adhesion imparting can be obtained. An agent or the like can be appropriately contained.
[0013]
Moreover, the range of 10-40 micrometers is suitable for the base concealment film thickness of a coating material (A) with a cured coating film. Here, the base concealment film thickness is the minimum cured film thickness at which the adjacent black and white checkered pattern cannot be seen through the coating film.
[0014]
Paint (A) can be applied directly to the object to be coated, such as the outer plate of metal or plastic automobiles or electrical products. It is preferable to apply to an object to be coated and cured.
[0015]
The viscosity of the paint (A) is adjusted to 10 to 40 seconds / forward cup # 4/20 ° C., and spray coating is performed by air spray, airless spray, electrostatic method, etc., and the film thickness is based on the cured coating film. It is preferable that the film thickness is 10 to 40 μm or more.
[0016]
In the present invention, after the coating film of the paint (A) is cured by heating at about 120 to 160 ° C. for 10 to 40 minutes or in an uncured state, the light-interfering paint film-forming paint (B) is applied to the coated surface. Paint.

Light interference coating film forming paint (B) :
A paint to be applied to a cured or uncured coating surface of the paint (A), and silica flakes coated with titanium oxide or iron oxide (coated silica flakes) in an amount of 0.1 to 100 parts by weight of resin solid content. It is a light-interfering coating film-forming paint containing 2 parts by weight and having a base concealing film thickness of 40 μm or more.
[0018]
Coated silica flakes are irregular flat flakes that can produce dramatic visual effects, including dichroic effects not seen with light interference pigments such as mica powder, and contain them. The coated film can change from green to magenta and from gold to orange depending on the variation of the incident angle of light or the observation direction (that is, the reflection angle).
