Description

UV curable coating composition with excellent antistatic properties and adhesion to the conductor

[Industrial use]

The present invention relates to an ultraviolet curable coating composition having excellent antistatic properties and adhesion to a subject. More particularly, the present invention relates to an ultraviolet curable coating composition, which is applied to a subject and irradiated with UV light to crosslink and cure the surface layer of the substrate. The present invention relates to an acrylic coating composition capable of imparting adhesion with a conductor and wear resistance.

[Prior art]

Plastic molded products are light, excellent in burst resistance, inexpensive, and easy to be molded and processed, and the demand for glass and metal products is steadily increasing. In recent years, such plastic molded products have been developed for decorative use such as signs and displays, and in particular, transparent plastics are applied to public transportation such as trains, taxis, airplanes, and transparent plates used in large buildings. . Also. The application of such a transparent plastic is also examined as a soundproof wall material of a high-speed train, which has been the subject of interest in recent years.

At present, many plastic moldings having various excellent properties have been developed commercially, but since plastics are inherently electric insulators, they are easily charged by friction, and thus generate static electricity and absorb dust in the air, thereby deteriorating the aesthetic appearance. . This property of plastic can also damage commodity value by lowering light transmittance.

In addition, the front panel used in the CRT, the plasma display pattern, or the liquid crystal display device is easily adhered to foreign matter such as dust due to the surface charging phenomenon during operation of the imaging device, which causes a deterioration in image quality. And when the viewer's body comes in contact with the front panel, it may cause discomfort due to static electricity, which sometimes causes damage or malfunction of IC circuits in the device.

In order to solve the above problems, in particular, electrostatically sensitive electrical or electronic material manufacturers or hospitals use transparent plastics with antistatic properties or form a transparent conductive coating on a panel to dissipate the charged charges. There have been attempts to solve the problems caused by the above method, and the method of applying the antistatic coating film to the plastic molding as described above may include several examples as follows.

First, a conductive film composed of a metal or an inorganic oxide is applied to the surface of the substrate by dry methods such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), vacuum deposition, and sputtering to form an antistatic coating film. There is a way. However, this dry process is disadvantageous in that the productivity is low because it mainly consists of a batch method, and the surface area or shape of the substrate is limited by the size of the vacuum evaporator used.

Second, there is a method of forming a conductive coating by spraying conductive fine particles such as indium oxide (In ₂ O ₃ ) or tin oxide (SnO ₂ ) or fine metal powder. However, the conductive film formed through this method does not have a uniform thickness and a hole is formed in the antistatic film due to the bubbles generated during the spray, and the antistatic effect with time due to the adhesion between the substrate and the coating surface is decreased. Has the disadvantage of falling.

Third, as described in Korean Patent Publication No. 96-2743, it has excellent conductivity, such as antimony-doped tin oxide (ATO) or indium-doped tin oxide (ITO). There is a method of forming a coating liquid using nanometer-sized microparticles and an organic silicon compound or a partial hydrolyzate thereof as a matrix material, and then applying the same to a substrate to form a conductive film having excellent conductivity and chemical resistance. However, such a coating has a disadvantage that it is difficult to give the scratch resistance required by the plastic molded article because its thickness is only several thousandÅ.

Fourth, as described in Korean Unexamined Patent Publication Nos. 91-3737, 91-2646, 94-6193, 95-8653, and the like, a certain amount of surfactant is mixed to form an antistatic property. There is a way to give. However, in order to obtain the antistatic properties required by this method, a large amount of surfactant must be used, and as the amount of the surfactant increases, the inherent physical properties of the plastic are degraded, the scratch resistance of the plastic molded article itself is reduced, and the antistatic properties obtained are obtained. It tends to disappear easily due to this friction or the like.

Fifth, a reaction product using titanium isopropoxide and acetylacetonate as an acrylate and adhesion promoter to conductive fine particles such as antimony-doped tin oxide, indium-doped tin oxide, and antimony-doped zinc oxide was used. There is a method in which the coating film is provided with antistatic properties and adhesion to the conductor. However, this method requires a separate treatment because the adhesion force between the coating composition and the conductor is significantly lower than that of the existing coating composition due to the conductor put in order to impart antistatic properties, and when the adhesion promoter is used, Although there is an improvement, there is a problem that the antistatic property is lowered.

As described above, studies have been made on a method of applying an antistatic coating film having excellent wear resistance and excellent antistatic property and adhesion to a conductor, but have not been satisfactory.

The present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, an object of the present invention is to provide a coating composition excellent in antistatic properties and adhesion to the substrate. In addition, another object of the present invention is scratch resistance, wear resistance, water resistance. It is to provide a coating composition that is excellent in solvent resistance and surface smoothness and can maintain or improve the inherent physical properties of the plastic molded article when applied to the plastic molded article.

[Means for solving the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a conductive fine particle selected from the group consisting of (a) tin oxide doped with antimony, tin oxide doped with indium, and zinc oxide doped with antimony per 100 parts by weight of the coating composition. 10-50 parts by weight of the conductive particulate sol dispersed in alcohol, (b) 20-80 parts by weight of the polyfunctional, difunctional and monofunctional acrylate or methacrylate monomer mixture, (c) 0-20 parts by weight of the acrylate oligomer, (d) 0.1-10 parts by weight of the photopolymerization initiator, (e) 0.1-20 parts by weight of the erosive solvent, and (f) 0-20 parts by weight of the primer, and having an antistatic property and a substance having a viscosity of 100 cps or less at 25 ° C. Provided is an ultraviolet curable coating composition having excellent adhesion.

Hereinafter, each component contained in the ultraviolet curable coating composition of this invention is demonstrated in detail as follows.

(a) conductive fine particles

The transparent conductive film-forming composition of the present invention is antimony-doped tin oxide (ATO), indium-doped tin oxide (ITO), antimony doped in order to exhibit conductivity Fine particles of highly conductive metal oxides such as antimony-doped zinc oxide (AZO) are used. Antimony-doped tin oxide and indium-doped tin oxide are commercially available from Mitsubishi Materials and Ishihara, Japan, and antimony-doped zinc oxide is commercially available from Nissan Chemical, Japan. 30% solids are dispersed in alcohol such as water or methanol. Use as a sol.

The conductive particulate sol used when preparing the coating composition of the present invention uses 10 to 50 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the coating composition. If the amount of the conductive particle sol is less than 10 parts by weight, the antistatic property is inferior, and if it is more than 50 parts by weight, other physical properties such as adhesion to the conductor tend to be inferior.

The particle diameter of the metal fine particles dispersed in the composition is 5 to 400 nm, preferably an average particle diameter is 80 nm or less, and at least 60% of all particles make up a distribution having a particle diameter of 100 nm or less. Since the particles are small in size, they do not cause light scattering, so that transparency of the film may be maintained, and when the particle diameter is out of the above range, problems may occur such as light scattering.

(b) acrylate monomer

The functional acrylate monomer used when preparing the coating composition of the present invention is a polyfunctional monomer containing three or more acryloyloxy groups or methacryloyloxy groups in one molecule, two acryloyloxy groups in one molecule or Mixtures of difunctional monomers containing methacryloyloxy groups and monofunctional monomers containing one acryloyloxy group or methacryloyloxy group in one molecule. In order to maintain proper abrasion resistance and adhesion to the subject, the content of each monomer in the functional acrylate monomer is 10-8O by weight of the polyfunctional monomer, 0-80 parts by weight of the bifunctional monomer, and monofunctional. It is preferable that the content of the monomer is 0-80 parts by weight, and when the content of each monomer is out of the above range, the wear resistance is inferior or the adhesion with the subject decreases.

The content of the functional acrylate monomer mixture is suitably 20 to 80 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the coating composition, and when the amount of the monomer is less than 20 parts by weight, the coating properties and physical properties of the obtained coating composition are inferior and exceeded 80 parts by weight. There is a problem that the antistatic property is lowered.

(c) acrylate oligomer

Oligomers used in the present invention include epoxy acrylates, polyether acrylates, polyester acrylates and urethane modified acrylates. Since oligomers generally determine the performance of the final cured coating, the oligomers are selected for their respective properties and applications. In the present invention, the acrylate oligomer is used in an amount of 0-20 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the total coating composition. When the amount of the oligomer exceeds 20 parts by weight, the curing rate is slowed, and the wear resistance and the friction resistance may be reduced.

(d) photopolymerization initiator

In order to easily cure the coating composition of the present invention by exposure to ultraviolet rays, a photopolymerization initiator is added. Examples of such a photopolymerization initiator include 1-hydroxycyclohexylphenyl ketone, benzyldimethyl ketal, hydroxydimethylacetophenone, benzoin, and benzoin. Methyl ether, benzoin ethyl ether, benzoin isopropyl ether, benzoin butyl ether, benzyl, benzophenone, 2-hydroxy-2-methyl propiophenone, 2,2-diethoxyacetophenone, anthraquinone, chloroanthra Quinone, ethyl anthraquinone, butyl anthraquinone, 2-chlorothioxanthone, alpha-chloromethylnaphthalene, anthracene and the like. One or more of these photopolymerization initiators may be used in combination with an amine such as para-dimethylaminobenzophenone, triethylamine, alkyl monofoline, and the like. Such a photopolymerization initiator is used in an amount of 0.1-10 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the coating composition. When the amount of the photopolymerization initiator is less than 0.1 parts by weight, the photopolymerization initiation effect is inferior, and when it is more than 10 parts by weight, the economy is inferior.

(e) solvent

The coating composition of the present invention comprises an erosive solvent for imparting adhesion with the subject without adhesion promoter and other solvents for controlling the coating property and viscosity of the coating composition.

Halogen-containing solvents such as chloroform and carbon tetrachloride, ether compounds such as methyl ether, ethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran, and solvents that are excellent in solubility in a derivative resin such as dimethyl formamide and dimethyl sulfoxide are used as erosive solvents. 0.1 to 20 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the coating composition is used. If the amount of the erosive solvent is less than 0.1 part by weight, the adhesion decreases, and if it exceeds 20 parts by weight, cracks may occur in the subject or whitening of the coating film may occur.

In addition, solvents such as alcohols, ketones, acetates and the like are used to lower the viscosity of the composition itself to a predetermined level or less and to impart coating workability, surface smoothness, and the like when the composition is actually applied to the surface of the plastic molded article. Such solvents use from 0 to 80 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the coating composition including a solvent for dispersing the conductive fine particles. If the amount of the solvent exceeds 80 parts by weight, the viscosity becomes too low, which is not preferable.

(f) primer

The present invention is characterized by the use of primers in addition to erosive solvents to improve adhesion with the subject. The primer is used by mixing the resin of the same kind as the subject in a solvent about 1 to 10% and then mixed with the coating composition, and improves the adhesion of the coating composition and the subject. The molecular weight of the resin used for the primer can be appropriately selected in consideration of the solubility in the solvent, the concentration, and the like, and if necessary, heat can be added to the extent that the resin does not decompose to promote dissolution. The content of the primer is suitable from 0 to 20 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the coating composition, if more than 20 parts by weight may adversely affect the adhesion.

The coating composition of the present invention may use a polysiloxane additive as a compatibilizer for increasing the compatibility of the conductive fine particles with acrylate oligomers and monomers in addition to the above components. The compatibility should be sufficient to maintain the dispersion state of the fine particles to improve the storage stability of the composition, to prevent cracking of the film due to phase separation during film formation, to increase the density of the conductive fine particles to lower the surface resistance, lacking a compatibilizer The resulting compositions have reduced antistatic properties, film formability and storage stability, limiting their value as film forming compositions. When the coating composition of the present invention lacks a compatibilizer, the conductive fine particles include hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA), 2-hydroxy propyl acrylate (2-hydroxy propy1 acrylate), Only a very limited class of acrylate compounds such as pentaerythritol triacrylate (PETA) has correspondence, and its value as a film-forming composition is limited.

In addition, the coating composition of this invention can use additives, such as a leveling agent, a slipping agent, a polymerization inhibitor, as needed from 0-5 weight part per 100 weight part of total compositions.

As for the coating composition used for this invention, when the viscosity at 25 degreeC was adjusted to 100cps ratio, it was the aspect of adhesiveness, abrasion resistance, surface smoothness, film thickness uniformity, plasticity, durability, water resistance, heat resistance, solvent resistance, etc. Excellent at

The coating composition of the present invention containing the above composition component on the surface of the substrate is coated with an appropriate thickness, and exposed to ultraviolet rays to cure to form a film having excellent antistatic properties and adhesion to the subject.

The synthetic resin molded article base material used in the manufacture of the plastic molded article in the present invention is a sheet, a film and an injection molded from various thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic molded articles, such as ABS, polymethyl methacrylate, polycarbonate, polyvinyl chloride resin, etc. Molded articles and the like can be used.

The coating composition can be applied by conventional methods such as flow, spray, dip, spin, etc., and is appropriately selected depending on the external form of the plastic molded article or the intended use. For example, if some of the plastic molded parts need antistatic and wear resistance, the flow coating method is used. If the surface is relatively flat, the spray method is used. If the surface is relatively flat and symmetrical, the spin coating method is used. In this case, dip coating is used.

In order to cross-link and cure the coated film, ultraviolet rays emitted from a light source such as mercury lamp are irradiated, and under conditions of irradiating ultraviolet rays, it is generally preferable to maintain an inert gas such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide, but the composition of the present invention has an oxygen content in irradiation conditions. Even in this high case, a crosslinked cured film can be sufficiently formed.

The amount of the coating composition applied to the substrate surface is adjusted as necessary, and the coating composition is applied so that the thickness of the crosslinked cured coating film formed on the substrate surface is in the range of 1 to 30 µm. When the thickness of the crosslinked cured film is less than 1 μm, antistatic properties and wear resistance are inferior, and when the thickness of the crosslinked cured film is greater than 30 μm, uncured coating or cracking occurs, resulting in a decrease in strength of the molded article itself.

After the cross-linked cured film is formed on the surface of the plastic molded article, it can be bent, cut, punched, or cut while being heated properly. However, when used after such treatment, it may be subjected to extreme adverse conditions. It is desirable to have a. In this case, the plasticity of the cured film itself and the adhesion to the conductor should be particularly excellent, and the thickness of the cured film should be appropriately adjusted. It is preferable that the thickness is as thin as possible, but if too thin, there is a disadvantage in that the antistatic properties and the wear resistance are lowered, so that the thickness of the crosslinked cured coating film is adjusted to be in the range of 5-20 μm.
