Description

Technical Field The present invention relates to a coating composition for a transparent colorless coated stainless steel re-coated steel sheet for PCM and a coated steel sheet produced by the method.

The present invention relates to a coating composition for a transparent colorless coated stainless steel coated steel sheet for PCM (Pre-Coated Metal) used for manufacturing housings of various home appliances such as a refrigerator, a washing machine, a microwave oven, and a stainless steel coated steel sheet More particularly, the present invention relates to a colorant which uses a colorant mainly composed of nano-sized dispersed pigments in an acrylic resin and an amino resin, And it is possible to satisfy the harsh processing conditions by making the hair line (Metal) texture of the stainless steel material to be exposed to the outside well and being excellent in moldability and physical properties. The present invention relates to a coating composition for a steel sheet and a coated steel sheet produced thereby.

In the steel plate coating method, there are a post-coating method in which a steel plate is molded and then a pre-coating method in which a steel plate is coated before molding.

The post coating method is disadvantageous in that it is inexpensive in facility cost and is advantageous in small quantity production but it is difficult to produce uniform product and mass production.

On the other hand, the precoating method has an advantage that a uniform product can be produced, loss of paint is small, and mass production can be performed in a short time.

The steel sheet coated with the above-described pre-coating method is referred to as a pre-coated steel sheet, and the coating used for precoating is called a PCM coating.

The PCM steel sheet painted by the above-mentioned PCM paint is subjected to a separate processing step after coating.

Accordingly, the PCM paint should satisfy conditions such as excellent processability, hardness of the coating film, adhesion, weatherability, corrosion resistance and curability.

On the other hand, stainless steel is mainly used as a housing material of household appliances such as a refrigerator, a washing machine, and a microwave oven, and a PCM coated steel plate having a color coating on the surface of stainless steel is widely used.

However, the conventional stainless steel coated steel sheet for PCM has a disadvantage in that the coating film is not transparent and translucent.

That is, according to the conventional PCM paint, the coating film is in a translucent state which is not transparent, and there is a problem that the hair line texture and the metal texture inherent to the stainless steel material formed by the polishing process are not expressed externally.

Further, according to the conventional PCM paint, there is a problem in that it can not satisfy severe molding conditions and physical properties in the manufacture of housings of home appliances.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and to provide a stainless steel sheet for PCM that can impart color to the steel sheet while maintaining transparency of the coated film.

Another object of the present invention is to make the colored coating film of the stainless steel coated steel sheet for PCM to maintain transparency and to make the fine hair lines (the hair line and the metal texture) formed by the polishing process well visible to the outside.

Still another object of the present invention is to satisfy harsh molding conditions when manufacturing a household appliance housing with a stainless steel coated steel sheet for PC.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a stainless steel coated steel sheet for PCM capable of maintaining high mechanical strength and high mechanical strength.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a method of manufacturing a colorless stainless steel coated steel plate for a PCM (Pre-Coated Metal), which comprises a main resin, a curing agent, a pigment, a solvent and an additive, (Acrylic Resin) having OH of 0 to 6.0, a molecular weight (Mn) of 3,000 to 150,000, and a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 50 to 110 캜 is used as the main resin, The colorant is contained in an amount of 15 to 35% by weight based on the composition, and the pigment is contained in an amount of 1.0 to 7.0% by weight based on the total coating composition, the colorant comprising a pigment dispersed in a nano size as a main component .

Also, as the above-mentioned curing agent, a hexamethoxymethylmelamine type resin having a solid content (NV: Non Volatile) of 98% or more is contained in an amount of 1.0 to 15.0% by weight based on the total coating composition.

Also, as the above-mentioned curing agent, benzoguanamine having a solid content of 80% or more is contained in an amount of 1.0 to 15.0% by weight based on the total coating composition.

Further, the solvent is characterized in that an aliphatic hydrocarbon-based or ester-based solvent is contained in an amount of 20 to 60% by weight based on the total coating composition.

According to the present invention, transparency of a coated film can be maintained while imparting hue to a stainless steel coated steel sheet for PCM, thereby realizing a transparent colored coating layer.

Further, since the colored coating film of the stainless steel re-coated steel sheet for PCM can maintain transparency, there is an effect that the fine hair lines ((Hair Line) and the metal texture on the surface of the stainless steel material formed by the polishing process are exposed to the outside.

In addition, it has an effect of satisfying harsh molding conditions in the manufacture of housings of various home appliances such as a refrigerator, a washing machine, and a microwave oven.

In addition, the coating film can maintain mechanical properties of high porosity and high hardness, so that it is possible to manufacture a stainless steel coated steel sheet for a high quality PFC.
