2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, silicone or fluorosilicone water repellents, for example, have been used to form such water repellent films. This water repellent agent contains as a component a group that reacts with a hydroxyl group, and a water-repellent film is formed by reaction with the hydroxyl group attached to the side of the glass substrate such as soda glass to be coated. Furthermore, it is known that this water-repellent film is more durable if it is formed after providing a silicon dioxide coating layer on the glass substrate than if it is formed directly on the glass substrate. This is because the coating layer has more hydroxyl groups than the surface of the glass substrate and has a stronger bond with the water-repellent film.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] This coating layer can be formed on a glass substrate by vapor deposition or sputtering using silicon dioxide as a raw material. There was a problem that unless the temperature was set to a high temperature of about 250°C or higher, the coating layer would not adhere sufficiently to the substrate, and if the substrate temperature was low, sufficient adhesion of the coating layer to the glass substrate could not be obtained. .

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the water-repellent film for glass according to the present invention is constructed as follows. That is, it is a water-repellent film for glass comprising a coating layer formed on the surface of glass with silicon and oxygen as components, and a silicone or fluorosilicone water-repellent layer formed on the surface of this coating layer,
When the composition of the coating layer is expressed as SiOx, x is characterized in that it is set within the range of 0.8≦x<2.

[Function/Effect] As the proportion of oxygen in the components decreases, the coating layer composed of oxygen and silicon improves its adhesion to the glass surface even if the substrate temperature during film formation is low. In this configuration, the value of x is restricted to 0.8 or more and less than 2, so compared to conventional silicon dioxide (x = 2), if the same adhesion force is to be obtained, the substrate temperature will be lower. It becomes possible to lower the temperature. Even if the coating layer is formed under such conditions, the coating layer contains many hydroxyl groups, so a water-repellent layer made of fluorosilicone or the like can be formed with strong adhesion and maintain water repellency over a long period of time.

[Embodiment] Below, a water-repellent film for glass according to an embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 will be explained in detail. Figure 1 shows a cross section of a glass substrate such as soda glass on which this water-repellent film is formed. 1 is the glass substrate, 2 is a coating layer composed of oxygen and silicon, and 3 is a fluorosilicone water repellent. It is a water repellent layer.

The coating layer 2 was formed by a vapor deposition method using silicon oxide as a raw material, and the water-repellent layer 3 was formed by applying a fluorosilicone water-repellent to the surface thereof and curing it by heating. The vapor deposition conditions for forming the coating layer 2 are as follows.

When the coating layer 2 is formed by vapor deposition as in this embodiment, it is possible to continuously change the ratio of silicon and oxygen as components. That is, when the composition of the coating layer 2 is temporarily expressed as SiOx, the value of x (ratio of oxygen to silicon) is expressed as SiOx.
It is possible to set not only 1 or 2 such as O or SiO2 but also any value between them. On the other hand, when the value of x is changed in this way, the refractive index also changes continuously. This correspondence relationship is shown in Figure 2 with the value of x on the vertical axis.
It is shown in a graph with the refractive index on the horizontal axis. Since the measured value of the refractive index of the coating layer 2 of this example formed under the above-described vapor deposition conditions is 1.55, it can be read from this graph that the value of x is 1.5.

The coating layer 2 of this example was formed by vapor deposition with the substrate temperature set at a relatively low temperature of 90° C. to 200° C., but it is unclear whether this film has sufficient durability. In order to determine this, an abrasion resistance test was conducted using reciprocating friction using flannel cloth (#300) soaked in an alkaline detergent. In addition, as a comparative example, we created a fluorosilicone water-repellent layer directly formed on a glass substrate.
A similar abrasion resistance test was also conducted on this water-repellent film.

The results are shown in the graph of FIG.

The test results for the example water-repellent film are shown. As shown in this graph, the contact angle was 110° before the test, but after 1000 friction tests, it became approximately 95° in the comparative example and 109° in the present example.

As described above, by setting the ratio x of oxygen to silicon in the coating layer 2 provided between the glass substrate and the fluorosilicone water-repellent layer to 1.5, even though the substrate temperature is low, First, sufficient adhesion between the glass substrate and the coating layer was obtained, and as a result, a water-repellent film with excellent abrasion resistance could be formed. Note that the value of x is not limited to 1.5 as in this example, but if it is set within the range of 0.8≦x<2, the substrate temperature can be set to a low temperature to conduct the deposition. However, a water-repellent film with good durability can be obtained. In addition, as shown in Figure 2, the smaller the value of x, the larger the refractive index, and the easier it is to absorb short wavelength light, making the glass more likely to take on a yellow or reddish color. If it is set thinly, there will be practically no effect due to coloring.
