Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to paint film appliques with reduced defects, methods of making and using the same, and articles comprising the same.
  • Painted surfaces are commonly used in many different types of applications. Painted surfaces can not only improve aesthetic properties of a surface, but they can also improve functional properties of underlying surfaces and help protect the same.
  • One such application is in the transportation industry, where exterior painted surfaces are typically exposed to a variety of environments, some of which can be very harsh on the surface. Examples of articles in the transportation industry having such painted surfaces include vehicles providing transportation over land, in the water, and in the air. Such vehicles include aircraft and motorized vehicles like automobiles and trucks. The paint on such surfaces can function to protect the underlying surface from damage due to that exposure. However, the paint itself must also be durable to withstand repeated exposure to such damaging environments.
  • VOC emission reduction and water conservation, both associated with conventional painting processes, are therefore increasingly important environmental considerations.
  • additional weight leads to consumption of excess fuel and restrictions on the number of passengers or amount of cargo that an associated vehicle can safely and efficiently transport.
  • a unique consideration associated with painting or otherwise covering exterior surfaces on aircraft and similar vehicles is the impact of the relatively high vehicle speeds on the surface of the vehicle and any coatings or coverings thereon.
  • wind resistance associated with travel at high speeds can make it difficult to retain uniform and adequate adherence of such coatings or coverings on a vehicle's surface.
  • coatings and coverings developed for application to exterior surfaces of vehicles traveling on, for example, land-based highways are often not adequate to withstand the challenging conditions associated with higher speeds of travel through air or on land-based raceways.

  • 3M Company of St. Paul, Minn. markets paint replacement films and tapes for certain such applications.
  • 3MTM Paint Replacement Film F577 is described as a polyvinyl chloride film providing a textured black matte appearance for use on vehicle window frames, window sashes, window extensions, body and door pillars, dashboard components and lids (metal or plastic).
  • Such film is described as providing a high-gloss (90% reflectivity) black appearance and an outer clearcoat that can be integrated into vehicle designs.

  • the material purportedly comprises a flexible and stretchable thermoplastic polyester carrier film, a stretchable aqueous polyurethane paint layer, a stretchable transparent crosslinked polyurethane topcoat layer and, disposed between the carrier film and the paint layer, a thin tie layer formed by coating an aqueous dispersion of a neutralized copolymer of ethylene and an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid on the carrier film.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,114,789 describes a decorative sheet material having a transparent topcoat that can be bonded to various substrates, such as exterior automotive panels, as a protective and decorative coating.
  • the sheet material comprises a thin carrier film, a paint layer adhered to one surface of the carrier film, and a crosslinked topcoat layer. That topcoat layer is stated to be “extremely thick”—at least 0.1 millimeter (100 microns)—in embodiments described therein.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,242,751 describes a paint composite article including a thermally deformable carrier film having, on its first major surface, an adhesive layer and, on its second major surface, a paint layer consisting of a pigmented basecoat covered by a polyurethane topcoat layer.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,268,215 describes a paint-coated film purportedly having good mar resistance.
  • a polyurethane paint layer is coated on a polymeric carrier film.
  • Coated on the upper surface of the paint layer is a polyurethane clearcoat layer, which is then coated with a polyurethane-siloxane topcoat layer.
  • the film can purportedly be thermoformed, stretched, and bonded adhesively to auto body parts, boats, household appliances, and other substrates as protective and decorative coverings having a basecoat-clearcoat appearance.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,468,532 describes a multi-layer graphic article with a color layer. It is based on a polymeric film that is covered with a protective surface layer to purportedly make the article weatherable and resistant to chemical exposure.
  • the protective surface layer is described as being a polyurethane-based material in an exemplary embodiment.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,132,864 describes a painted plastic film coated with two or more coats of certain materials. It consists of a base plastic film, which is first coated with a filler composition, followed by coating with a pigmented paint, and then coating with a transparent plastic film.
  • the base plastic film can be a polyolefin, a polyamide, a polyurethane, a polyester, a polyacrylate, a polycarbonate or mixture of different polymeric substances.
  • the filler composition is described as a composition containing a binder and crosslinking agent among other components.
  • the pigmented paint coating is described as a topcoat comprising a polymeric binder, with or without a crosslinking agent, and a pigment or mixture of pigments.
  • the transparent plastic film is described as being one of the same materials suitable for use as the base film.
  • the multi-layer sheets described therein purportedly have good resistance to stone chipping and corrosion.
  • paint replacement films present on a surface must first be removed when refinishing the surface.
  • Many conventional films, however, are not easily removable as the layers therein are prone to delamination. Delamination of the paint replacement film when removing the same from a surface can significantly complicate the refinishing process.
  • some polymer chemistries are not capable of being hot-melt processed due to their relatively high molecular weight and/or the presence of crosslinking, both of which can make it difficult, if not impossible, to hot-melt process preformed pellets of the compositions (as is done generally according to conventional methods of forming polymer films using hot-melt processing) at a temperature below the degradation temperature of the polymer composition or substrate onto which the film is formed.
  • wet casting polymer film formation methods also have their disadvantages. Whether the system is solventborne or waterborne, it must first be coated onto a desired substrate and then dried to remove solvating or dispersing medium (i.e., organic solvent or water, respectively) in order to form a polymer film. Thus, formation of polymer films of sufficient thickness can be problematic using wet casting methods. In addition, some polymer chemistries are not capable of being formed into polymer films using wet casting methods due to the lack of adequate solubility of such polymers or their constituents in conventional solvents and dispersing mediums.
  • solvating or dispersing medium i.e., organic solvent or water, respectively
  • conventionally manufactured polymer films are limited to those particular polymer chemistries that can be formed into films using conventional methodology, again which methodology typically involves extrusion and other methods for formation of a film from an already polymerized composition. Due to the methodology by which they are formed as well as methodology by which they are laminated to adjacent films, conventionally manufactured polymer films typically suffer from defects arising from at least one of gelation, die lines, and gauge lines. Due to their negative impact on, for example, visual properties of the final product, the prevalence of defects necessitates exhaustive testing and analysis of polymer film formed to ensure suitability of that polymer film for the intended application.
  • Gelation results in the presence of gel particles (also referred to as “gel”) in the final product.
  • a “gel” is generally understood to be a viscous composition, which in polymer processing can be, for example, an at least partially polymerized composition, one having a relatively high molecular weight, and/or one containing significant amounts of entrapped gas (e.g., air or reaction by-products, such as carbon dioxide). Gels may manifest themselves in various forms and often result from overheating during processing of polymerized compositions into polymer films.
  • entrapped gas e.g., air or reaction by-products, such as carbon dioxide
  • gels may take a crosslinked form, result from catalyst or other organic or inorganic residue in stagnating and/or dead regions of resins during extrusion, result from degraded oxidation-related occurrences (e.g., carbon dioxide bubbles resulting from moisture), or have their roots in the supply chain. Gelation can make formation of uniform layers of polymeric material (e.g., films) difficult.
  • defects can lead to aesthetic imperfections, weak points and rupturing in polymer films and paint film appliques and generally compromise their suitability for many applications. As such, exhaustive efforts are conducted throughout the supply chain to determine the presence and extent of defects. Many defects are readily detectable when viewed with an unaided human eye. Other methods for detection of defects can also be used, including spectroscopy. When detected, defect-laden polymer film must often be scrapped, leading to considerable waste.
  • an in-situ polymerized polymer film facilitates improved paint film appliques.
  • a paint film applique comprises a defect-free polymer film as a carrier layer.
  • a conventionally formed polyurethane carrier layer i.e., which conventional formation typically involves extrusion and other methods for formation of a film from an already polymerized composition, where polymerization of the material used to form the film is essentially complete prior to formation of the film therefrom
  • paint film appliques of the invention do not rely on such a layer as the carrier layer, the result being an improvement in one or more desired properties in addition to the processing efficiencies imparted thereby.
  • Defect-free polymer films useful as the carrier layer in paint film appliques of the invention are described in co-pending PCT Patent Application No. PCT/US17/21982, entitled “Defect-Free Polymer Films and Related Protective Sheets, Articles, and Methods,” which application is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

  • Paint film appliques of the invention are advantageously not only capable of covering a surface with improved properties, but also capable of being more cleanly removed therefrom than conventional paint film appliques including conventionally formed carrier layers. It has been found that adhesive residue remaining on a surface from which the paint film applique is removed after use is minimized or eliminated by providing, adjacent a color layer, preferably a defect-free polymer film as a carrier layer that is capable of absorbing more energy during stretching and/or impact than that associated with conventionally formed carrier layers. That is, the improved carrier layer used in paint film appliques of the invention is capable of exhibiting more effective damping qualities (as evidenced by its “peak loss factor” described herein) than those associated with conventionally formed carrier layers.
  • Including such a layer adjacent the color layer within a laminate facilitates better continued bonding between the carrier layer and the color layer during application of the paint film applique and, hence, a lower chance of interlayer delamination and less residual adhesive and other material on a surface after removal of the paint film applique therefrom.

Such articles include, for example, motorized vehicles (e.g., automobiles and airplanes) and non-motorized vehicles (e.g., conventional bicycles) amongst a multitude of other applications.
  • the surface to which the paint film appliques are applied can be otherwise painted or unpainted.
  • paint film appliques of the invention can have textured outwardly exposed surfaces when applied to an underlying substrate, preferably paint film appliques of the invention have smooth surfaces and a substantially uniform thickness throughout in order to maximize their capability of providing desired aesthetic properties to a surface.
  • a paint film applique is applied to a surface, preferably in such a way as to conform to the shape of the surface.
