Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide the subject pigment composed of a titanium dioxide base material and metal particles sporadically attached to the surface of the base material, exhibiting a characteristic light-scattering phenomenon because of the colloidal state of the metal particles and having excellent safety, weather resistance, chemical resistance, etc. CONSTITUTION:The objective pigment is composed of a base material 1 consisting of titanium dioxide and metal particles 2 sporadically attached to the surface of said base material 1 and developing color mainly by the light scattered by said metal particles. The particle diameter of the titanium dioxide is preferably 0.1-1mum. The ratio of the titanium dioxide surface covered with the metal particles is preferably 0.05-0.95% based on the whole surface of the titanium dioxide.

[Prior Art] Titanium monoxide has been widely used as a white pigment in paints, paints, and the like. Although titanium dioxide is characterized by being low in price and having a high refractive index, it is currently hardly used for purposes other than as a white pigment.

Furthermore, in recent years, pearlescent pigments with a titanium dioxide layer formed on the mica surface have been developed. Furthermore, JP-A-60-
As seen in Japanese Patent No. 60163, a pigment in which the mica surface is coated with lower titanium oxide whose degree of oxidation is lower than that of titanium dioxide, and further coated with titanium dioxide is also disclosed. These pigments strongly color the interference light caused by light interference in the titanium dioxide layer on the surface, but since mica is used as the base material, only a few products use titanium dioxide.

In this way, no other examples of pigments using titanium dioxide as a raw material have been reported.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The technical problem of the present invention is to use titanium dioxide as a starting material and to expand and develop new colors that have never existed before based on a new coloring principle.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present inventors have attempted to apply coloring by light scattering of fine metal particles, and have conducted various studies, but even when attempting to produce fine particles of the metal itself, agglomeration occurs and scattering light is emitted. At present, it is difficult to produce such fine particles. Therefore, we came up with the idea of interposing other substances and forming metal particles on the surface of the substance, and as a result of various studies, we discovered that forming metal particles in titanium dioxide powder would prevent the metal particles from agglomerating. This is the person who completed the invention.

That is, the pigment of the present invention is characterized by being composed of a base material made of titanium dioxide and metal particles scattered and attached to the surface of the base material in the form of islands, and colored mainly by scattered light from the metal particles. shall be.

Titanium dioxide is used as the base material. Both anatase type and lupul type can be used. The particle size of this titanium dioxide is preferably in the range of 0.1 to 1 μm. If the particle size is smaller than 0.1 μm, the scattered light will be weak even if metal particles are attached in the form of islands, and if the particle size is larger than 1 μm, it will be difficult to obtain a smooth coating even if it is made into a paint. I don't like it very much.

Metal particles are scattered and attached to the surface of the base material in the form of islands. The particle size of the metal particles must include at least a particle size that emits scattered light, and for example, when the metal is silver, it is preferably 1 nm to 500 nm. It is known that the color tone of scattered light varies depending on the particle size of the metal particles. In addition, when metal particles having a large particle size due to agglomeration or the like are included, color development is obtained that takes into account not only the scattered light but also the reflected light from the metal itself. Furthermore, white light due to titanium dioxide may be emitted from areas to which metal particles are not attached. Therefore, the pigment of the present invention produces a color that is a mixture of these colors, making it possible to realize a novel design that has never existed before.

The proportion of the metal particles covering the surface of titanium dioxide is preferably 0.05 to 0.95% of the total surface area of titanium oxide. If the adhesion area of the metal particles is less than 0.05%, the white color of titanium dioxide will appear strongly, and the desired coloring effect may not be obtained.

[Operations and Effects of the Invention] The pigment of the present invention has a structure in which metal particles are scattered in the form of islands on the surface of a base material made of titanium dioxide, and color is developed by scattered light from the metal particles. That is, since metal particles are almost colloidal particles, a unique light scattering phenomenon occurs. On the other hand, metal particles also absorb light, but the wavelength dependence of absorption differs depending on the particle size, so the extra color produced from the outside also differs depending on the particle size of the metal particles. That is, various scattering colors develop depending on the particle size of the metal particles.

That is, according to the pigment of the present invention, color development is mainly visible due to light scattering of metal particles, and various color tones that cannot be obtained with conventional titanium dioxide pigments can be obtained. Moreover, various color tones can be obtained simply by changing the particle size of the metal particles. It is clear from its structure that it has excellent color tones such as brightness and chroma, as well as various properties such as safety, weather resistance, chemical resistance, and heat resistance.
