Abstract
In a cured product having a thickness of 60 μm obtained from an actinic energy ray-curable composition of the present invention, when a scratch mark is made at a vertical load of 235 mN using a diamond indenter with a tip diameter of 15 μm, the scratch mark is repaired by a self-repairing ability under an atmosphere at 25° C. and at a relative humidity of 50%. Therefore, the actinic energy ray-curable composition is useful as coating agents or paints for products where scratch resistance is required.
Description
- The present invention relates to an actinic energy ray-curable composition useful as paints or coating agents for products where scratch resistance is required.
- In Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2001-2744, the present inventors have proposed an ultraviolet curable composition containing an ultraviolet curable urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer and a photoinitiator. The oligomer is obtained by reacting an isocyanate prepolymer compound having three or more isocyanate groups in one molecule with a polycaprolactone-modified hydroxyethyl(meth)acrylate.
- In a cured product of the ultraviolet curable composition, scratches generated on the surface of the product can be repaired by self-repairing ability. Therefore, the cured product has scratch resistance. Accordingly, the ultraviolet curable composition is useful as paints or coating agents for products where scratch resistance is required.
- However, the scratch resistance of the cured product is not necessarily satisfied in some applications. This limits the applications for the ultraviolet curable composition.
- An object of the present invention is to provide an actinic energy ray-curable composition capable of forming a cured product having excellent scratch resistance.
- In order to achieve the above-described object, in one embodiment of the present invention, the following actinic energy ray-curable composition is provided. In a cured product having a thickness of 60 μm obtained from the composition, when a scratch mark is made at a vertical load of 235 mN using a diamond indenter with a tip diameter of 15 μm, the scratch mark is repaired by self-repairing ability under an atmosphere at 25° C. and at a relative humidity of 50%.
- In another embodiment of the present invention, the following actinic energy ray-curable composition is provided.
- The composition contains a urethane(meth)acrylate obtained by reacting an organic isocyanate having a plurality of isocyanate groups in one molecule with a polycaprolactone-modified alkyl(meth)acrylate. The urethane(meth)acrylate contains two or more kinds of urethane(meth)acrylates different from one another in a number of repetitions of a caprolactone unit per one residue of the polycaprolactone-modified alkyl(meth)acrylate.
- In further another embodiment of the present invention, the following actinic energy ray-curable composition is provided. The composition contains a urethane(meth)acrylate obtained by reacting an organic isocyanate having a plurality of isocyanate groups in one molecule with two or more kinds of polycaprolactone-modified alkyl(meth)acrylates different from one another in a number of repetitions of a caprolactone unit per one molecule.
- In a further another embodiment of the present invention, the following actinic energy ray-curable composition is provided. The composition contains a urethane(meth)acrylate obtained by reacting an organic isocyanate having a plurality of isocyanate groups in one molecule with a polycaprolactone-modified alkyl(meth)acrylate, and a urethane(meth)acrylate obtained by reacting an organic isocyanate having a plurality of isocyanate groups in one molecule with a hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate.
- In further another embodiment of the present invention, the following actinic energy ray-curable composition is provided. The composition contains a urethane(meth)acrylate obtained by reacting an organic isocyanate having a plurality of isocyanate groups in one molecule with a polycaprolactone-modified alkyl(meth)acrylate and a hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate.
- First, an actinic energy ray-curable composition according to a first embodiment of the present invention is described.
- The actinic energy ray-curable composition according to the first embodiment contains two or more kinds of urethane (meth)acrylates different from one another in the number of repetitions of a caprolactone unit per one residue of a polycaprolactone-modified alkyl(meth)acrylate.
- The average number of repetitions per one molecule of the urethane(meth)acrylate relative to the number of repetitions of the caprolactone unit per one residue of the polycaprolactone-modified alkyl(meth)acrylate is preferably in the range of from 1 to 5, more preferably in the range of from 1 to 2.5.

The thickness of a cured layer made of the composition prepared in Comparative Example 5 was 20 μm, and the thickness of a cured layer other than this layer was 50 μm (this is because when the thickness of the cured layer made of the composition prepared in Comparative Example 5 exceeds 20 μm, the test plate was curled to generate fractures). The maximum scratch load (vertical load [mN]) where when a scratch mark was made on the cured layer of the test plate using a diamond indenter with a tip diameter of 15 μm, the scratch mark was capable of being repaired by self-repairing ability of the cured layer under an atmosphere at 25° C. and at a relative humidity of 50% was measured by means of a scratch tester produced by HEIDON Co. The unit of the measured value in parenthesis shown in Table 2 is gf.
