Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a titanium oxide-based photocatalytic coating having excellent photocatalytic activity, coating strength and transparency, a method for producing the same, a photocatalytic film formed by applying the same, and a substrate having the same. It is. The photocatalyst coating film according to the present invention can decompose trace amounts of harmful components in the environment and can be used for the purpose of environmental purification.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art It has been known that titanium oxide functions as a photocatalyst and, when irradiated with light, decomposes or oxidizes substances. By utilizing the photocatalytic action of this titanium oxide to remove trace amounts of harmful components present in indoor and outdoor spaces, especially organic harmful components including microorganisms,
Attempts have been made to purify the environment (eg, deodorization, antifouling, antibacterial, antifungal, etc.). For example, forming a titanium oxide-based photocatalytic film on an inorganic wood such as glass and decomposing organic substances attached to or in contact with a substrate has been widely used. Such a photocatalytic film is required to have high film strength and high transparency in addition to the basic property of high photocatalytic activity. If the film strength is low, the durability of the photocatalyst film becomes insufficient, and the effect is not maintained.
If the transparency is low, the aesthetic appearance of the substrate is impaired, and it cannot be applied to a transparent substrate such as glass. With respect to the above, in order to enhance the photocatalytic activity of titanium oxide, a potassium compound or a potassium compound + aluminum or a phosphorus compound is supported thereon (JP-A-8-182934), or phosphorus oxide is supported thereon (JP-A-9-75748). Gazette). However, such a method of supporting another compound does not lead to a sufficient improvement in activity and is not a simple method. Since the activity of the photocatalyst is still insufficient, the photocatalyst films described in the above publications are all 100% photocatalyst films composed only of a titanium oxide photocatalyst. Such a film is formed by sintering titanium oxide particles or sintering a film of a hydrolyzable titanium compound by a sol-gel method. Baking is required, the film formation cost is high, and the types of applicable substrates are limited. For example,
It is difficult to apply to general glass. Of course,
Not applicable to most organic base materials. Further, a photocatalytic film formed by sintering titanium oxide particles generally has low transparency. It is also known that a photocatalytic film can be easily formed by a coating method using a coating material in which fine powder of titanium oxide is dispersed in a binder solution. The use of the binder significantly lowers the film forming temperature. However, the activity of the photocatalytic film decreases as the amount of the binder having no catalytic activity increases. Therefore, in order to obtain practically sufficient photocatalytic activity, it is necessary to increase the content of the photocatalyst to 80% by weight or more. Therefore, the amount of the binder is insufficient, and the film strength cannot be sufficiently increased. Further, it has been conventionally considered that the titanium oxide photocatalytic film formed by this method becomes cloudy and cannot form a film having sufficiently high transparency (see JP-A-9-75748).

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. The photocatalytic paint of the present invention is a two-pack type paint comprising a dispersion (A) in which ultrafine titanium oxide as a photocatalyst is dispersed in an organic solvent, and a binder solution (B).
The titanium oxide dispersion (A) contains a β-diketone and a coupling agent in addition to the titanium oxide of the photocatalyst, and the binder solution (B) contains a partial hydrolyzate of an alkoxysilane oligomer as a binder. If a partial hydrolyzate of an alkoxysilane oligomer and a dispersion of ultrafine titanium oxide are mixed and stored, the liquid tends to gel during storage, and therefore both need to be stored separately. Therefore, the photocatalytic paint of the present invention is a two-pack type, and these two liquids are mixed and used for application before use.

As the titanium oxide of the photocatalyst, ultrafine particles having an average primary particle diameter of 0.1 μm or less are used. In the case of titanium oxide having an average primary particle diameter of 0.1 μm or more, the photocatalytic activity becomes insufficient particularly when the content of titanium oxide in the photocatalytic film is relatively low. Further, as pointed out in the prior art, the coating film becomes cloudy and the transparency is significantly reduced. The average primary particle diameter of the titanium oxide is preferably 0.01 to 0.1 μm, more preferably 0.01 to 0.1 μm.
０．０５0.05 μm. The method for producing the ultrafine titanium oxide is not particularly limited. Ultrafine titanium oxide is commercially available as a product manufactured by a gas phase method by thermal oxidative decomposition of titanium tetrachloride gas (eg, P-2 manufactured by Nippon Aerosil Co., Ltd.).
5), this can be used as it is. But,
Ultrafine titanium oxide having the above average primary particle diameter can be produced by the sulfuric acid method which is a liquid phase method, and ultrafine titanium oxide produced by the liquid phase method can also be used. When used as a pigment, titanium oxide is shipped after being subjected to a surface treatment of coating alumina or silicon oxide on the particle surface to reduce its photocatalytic activity, but is used as a photocatalyst in the present invention. Therefore, such surface treatment of titanium oxide is not required. Titanium oxide used industrially includes two types of crystal forms, an anatase type and a rutile type. Any can be used,
Ze type is preferred because of its higher photocatalytic activity. If the average primary particle diameter of the titanium oxide is fine as described above, a sufficiently high-activity photocatalytic film can be formed by forming a film with the coating material of the present invention. There is no need to dope the elements. However, ultrafine titanium oxide doped with one or more elements may be used to improve the photocatalytic activity. As such a doping element, potassium, phosphorus, potassium + aluminum or phosphorus is known as described above. Also, silicon and iron can be used as the doping element.

The organic solvent in which the ultrafine titanium oxide is dispersed is not particularly limited. Examples of usable solvents include alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol and butanol; ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone and methyl isobutyl ketone; toluene,
Hydrocarbons such as xylene, hexane and cyclohexane are exemplified. The organic solvent may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Preferred solvents are alcohols. The alcohols also include alkoxy alcohols, that is, alcohols containing an ether group. Examples of this type of alcohol include 2-methoxyethanol and 1-methoxy-2-propanol.

The coupling agent improves the dispersibility of the ultrafine titanium oxide in the organic solvent, thereby improving the preservability of the paint and increasing the transparency (reducing the haze) of the obtained coating film. To be added. These may be added in advance to the solvent before the ultrafine particle titanium oxide is dispersed, or may be added simultaneously when the titanium oxide is dispersed in the solvent. Since these are one kind of dispersion aid, it is not impossible to add them after the dispersion of titanium oxide,
Not very good. Examples of β-diketones include 2,
4-pentanedione (= acetylacetone), 3-methyl-2,4-pentanedione, 3-isopropyl-2,4
-Pentanedione, 2,2-dimethyl-3,5-hexanedione, 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedione (= dipivaloylmethane) and the like,
One or more kinds can be used. If the amount of β-diketone is less than 0.5 wt% with respect to titanium oxide, sufficient dispersibility cannot be obtained, and if it exceeds 10.0 wt%, it does not lead to further improvement in dispersibility.
The content is preferably in the range of 0.5 to 10.0 wt%. A more preferred addition amount is 0.5 to 5.0 wt%.

As the coupling agent, the most common silane coupling agent can be used, but it is preferable to use a titanate-based or aluminum-based coupling agent. Examples of coupling agents suitable for use in the present invention include aluminum-based coupling agents having an acetoalkoxy group, and titanate-based coupling agents having a dialkyl pyrophosphate group or a dialkyl phosphite group. is there. Examples of the aluminum-based coupling agent having an acetoalkoxy group include a compound represented by the following formula (a). Examples of the titanate-based coupling agent having a dialkyl pyrophosphate group include compounds represented by the following formulas (b) to (d), and a titanate-based coupling having a dialkylphosphite group. Examples of the agent include compounds represented by the following (e) to (f). One or more of these can be used.

If the amount of the coupling agent is less than 0.1 wt% with respect to titanium oxide, the effect of reducing dispersibility and haze cannot be obtained, while if it exceeds 5.0 wt%, no further effect can be obtained. Therefore, the content is preferably in the range of 0.1 to 5.0% by weight. More preferred addition amount is 0.1 to 2.5
wt%. The binder is characterized by containing a partial hydrolyzate obtained by partially hydrolyzing an alkoxysilane oligomer, thereby exhibiting high wettability to a substrate such as a plastic. If the alkoxysilane is hydrolyzed and used as a monomer, the wettability to a substrate such as plastic is not improved. The alkoxysilane used undergoes hydrolysis and polycondensation to form -S
It becomes a polymer by a siloxane bond represented by i-O-,
Finally, when the organic matter is completely removed, a siliceous film is formed. When the hydrolysis of the alkoxysilane oligomer is performed under controlled reaction conditions, a partial hydrolyzate of the alkoxysilane oligomer is obtained.

The hydrolysis for obtaining the partial hydrolyzate of the alkoxysilane oligomer can be carried out with or without the use of an acid catalyst. The degree of polymerization is controlled by adjusting the reaction conditions such as the amount used, the amount of water for hydrolysis present in the reaction system, the reaction temperature, and the reaction time to obtain a partial hydrolyzate of the alkoxysilane oligomer. The average degree of polymerization of the alkoxysilane oligomer used in the present invention is 2 to 100.
Is preferably within the range. That is, this oligomer
Is preferably a 2- to 100-mer (oligomer containing 2 to 100 Si atoms) on average. When the degree of polymerization of the oligomer is larger than 100, it is difficult to improve the wettability and adhesion to a substrate such as plastic. The more preferable range of the average degree of polymerization is 3 to 50, particularly preferably 4 to 35.

The alkoxysilane oligomer is hydrolyzed in a solvent in the presence of an acid catalyst and used as a coating composition. This hydrolysis is preferably performed in an organic solvent containing water under heating and stirring. The reaction temperature is preferably 30-60 ° C, more preferably 35-5 ° C.
5 ° C. The reaction time is preferably about 2 to 5 hours.

If the content of titanium oxide is less than 0.5% by weight based on the total amount of the coating components, the film thickness at the time of film formation becomes thin, and if it is desired to increase the film thickness, it must be repeatedly applied several times. If the content exceeds 20 wt%, the dispersibility of titanium oxide tends to decrease.
A range of t% is preferred. A more preferred content of titanium oxide is 1.0 to 10.0 wt%.

The coating film of the present invention is extremely excellent in transparency and adhesion because the partial hydrolyzate of the alkoxysilane oligomer is uniformly dispersed in the coating film, and the base material and the titanium oxide are mixed. It is considered that they are tightly linked. The ratio of titanium oxide as a photocatalyst to the binder is determined by the amount of titanium oxide and the amount of the alkoxysilane oligomer.
It is preferable that the ratio of titanium oxide to the total amount of the partial hydrolyzate and the amount of silica in terms of silica is within a range of 30 to 95 wt% (in other words, the SiO ₂ content of the binder is 5 to 70 wt%). The ratio of titanium oxide is 30 wt%
If it is less than 95%, the photocatalytic activity becomes insufficient, and if it exceeds 95% by weight, the film strength becomes insufficient.

When the photocatalytic paint of the present invention is applied to a substrate and the coating film is dried, a photocatalytic film is formed on the surface of the substrate.
The coating method may be selected according to the type and shape of the substrate. Drying is possible at room temperature, but to shorten the drying time,
Heat drying is preferred. Heating temperature is 60-170 ° C
The degree is appropriate and may be selected according to the heat resistance of the substrate. Although the thickness of the photocatalyst is not particularly limited, it is usually 0.1.
It will be in the range of 1-1.0 μm. This photocatalytic film shows the excellent photocatalytic activity of ultrafine titanium oxide, has excellent adhesion to the substrate, and has high hardness and scratch resistance, so it has excellent durability and exhibits its photocatalytic activity over a long period of time. Can be done. Further, since it is excellent in transparency, the transparency or appearance of the substrate is not impaired.

The substrate to which the photocatalyst coating film of the present invention is applied is not particularly limited, and may be organic or inorganic. Examples of the material of the substrate include glass, plastic, metal, wood, ceramic including tile, cement, concrete, fiber and paper. However, when a photocatalytic coating film is applied to an organic substrate such as a plastic, the photocatalytic film formed on the substrate exerts a photocatalytic action on the substrate,
Since the base material may be decomposed or deteriorated, when applied to an organic base material, it is preferable to form a base layer for protecting the base material in advance and form a photocatalytic film thereon. Therefore, the film forming operation becomes complicated. As the underlayer,
An inorganic film that is not deteriorated by the photocatalytic film is preferable. The preferred underlayer is a siliceous one formed from an alkoxysilane oligomer. For example, the undercoat layer can be formed by using the binder solution (B) of the two-component paint according to the present invention, that is, the solution of the partial hydrolyzate of the alkoxysilane oligomer alone. For forming the underlayer, a silica sol obtained by almost completely hydrolyzing an alkoxysilane oligomer can also be used. Since the binder of the photocatalyst film is siliceous, if the underlayer is also siliceous, the adhesion between the underlayer and the photocatalyst film becomes particularly good, and the transparency is hardly hindered.

When the base material is inorganic, there is no deterioration of the base material due to the photocatalyst film, so that the underlayer is unnecessary, and the photocatalytic paint may be applied directly to the base material. The photocatalytic film formed from the photocatalytic paint according to the present invention exerts a catalytic action when irradiated with light (ultraviolet light), and can decompose organic substances attached to or in contact with the film. In addition, oxidizable inorganic substances can be rendered harmless. (Oxidation of NO _x and SO _x ). If the substrate is transparent, light irradiation can be performed from the back surface of the substrate (the side on which the photocatalytic film is not formed). Therefore, for example, if a Hikari catalyst film is formed on the indoor surface of a window glass, a photocatalytic action is exerted by sunlight in the daytime and indoor illumination light in the nighttime, and harmful organic substances in the room (eg, Aldehydes generated from building materials, tobacco tar,
Oils, microorganisms such as bacteria and mold generated during cooking can be decomposed.

The photocatalyst film formed from the photocatalyst film according to the present invention preferably has a film strength of pencil hardness of 3H or more, so that it is hardly flawed and the transparency and the photocatalytic property are hardly reduced. The photocatalytic film is preferably 85
% Or more. The organic matter removal rate in the present invention means a value measured by a method described in Examples described later.

Specific examples of the substrate suitable for forming the photocatalyst film of the present invention include mirrors for vehicles and roads, glass for vehicles, vehicle lighting lamps and their covers, lenses, lighting fluorescent lamps and the like. Covers, flat glass (including window glass, furniture glass, forehead glass, greenhouse glass lamps), interior materials for tunnels and lightings and their covers, plastic films and sheets, plastic moldings, various building materials / Interior materials and building accessories (metal, ceramic, concrete, cement, wooden, natural stone and other natural or synthetic mineral or resin building materials, tiles, glass blocks, flooring, ceilings, (Including wallpapers, doors, shoji, sliding doors, screen doors, sashes, tatami mats, blinds, sunshades or sunscreens, corrugated sheets, etc.), tableware, ventilation fans, eyeglasses, mirrors, natural and synthetic fibers and cloths, paper, paper Down tube, cover - glass, rubber - Group, Masukushi - DOO, label, signboards, metal plate, household appliances housing, sintered metal filter -, moth - drain - le, vinyl -

However, the substrate is not limited to this. These substrates can form the photocatalytic film of the present invention either in the state of the raw material before commercialization or after commercialization. For example, in a tunnel, by forming the photocatalytic film of the present invention on the surface of a tunnel lighting lamp and its cover, a tile or a metal plate for the interior of the tunnel, NOx and SOx can be decomposed in addition to the organic components in the exhaust gas. Can help clean the air in the tunnel. Other substrates can also decompose the surrounding organic matter, in addition to environmental purification,
It is also effective for antibacterial and antifungal of base material.

Example B In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the photocatalytic paint of the present invention on various substrates, the photocatalytic paint of Example 1 was used, and the coating method and the substrate were as shown in Tables 4 and 5. By changing, a photocatalyst film was formed on the substrate surface. Drying of the coated film after application was performed by heating at 80 ° C. × 1 hour. The base material was cut out about 10 × 10 cm except for the spectacle lens and the fluorescent lamp. The photocatalytic activity of the substrate on which the photocatalyst film was formed was evaluated by the above-described organic substance removal rate. The test results are shown in Tables 4 and 5 together with the film thickness. As can be seen from Tables 4 and 5, the photocatalytic activity of the photocatalytic film was substantially the same as that of Example 1 even when the base material and the coating method were different. Therefore,
According to the present invention, it is understood that a photocatalytic film having high photocatalytic activity can be formed on various substrates by a coating method suitable for the shape and material of the substrate. In this test, since the test was performed immediately after the film formation, the deterioration of the base material due to the photocatalytic film was negligible. Therefore, the case where the base material was organic (PET film, ventilation fan, copy paper, and cotton cloth) was used. Also, the formation of the underlying protective layer was omitted. However, in the case of an organic substrate, the photocatalytic film gradually deteriorates the substrate,
As described above, it is preferable to form a protective layer (eg, a silica layer) on the base.

The photocatalyst film of the present invention exhibits high transparency and high film strength in addition to excellent photocatalytic activity. Therefore,
The titanium oxide content in the film can be increased while maintaining high film strength, and the photocatalytic activity can be utilized to the utmost. Further, even if the content of titanium oxide is reduced, the photocatalytic activity still shows practically sufficient and the film becomes even harder, so that a photocatalytic film having extremely excellent durability can be obtained. As described above, the content of titanium oxide can be selected according to the application environment of the photocatalyst film, so that it is possible to develop the photocatalyst film in a field where film strength is particularly required.
