Description

ベースコート塗料組成物Basecoat paint composition
 本発明はベースコート塗料組成物に関する。 The present invention relates to a base coat paint composition.
 自動車外板部のような被塗物には、一般に、下塗り塗料、中塗り塗料及び上塗り塗料が順次塗装され、下塗り塗膜、中塗り塗膜及び上塗り塗膜からなる複層塗膜が形成される。通常、下塗り塗膜には防食性が要求され、中塗り塗膜には、平滑性、耐チッピング性、下塗り塗膜と上塗り塗膜の付着性の確保等が要求される。また、上塗り塗膜には、優れた外観を有することが要求される。
 さらに、上塗り塗膜は、一般に、ベースコート塗膜及びクリヤーコート塗膜からなる複層塗膜によって形成される。上記ベースコート塗膜は、通常、光輝性顔料、着色顔料等の顔料を含有する着色ベースコート塗料を用いて形成され、該ベースコート塗膜上に透明なクリヤーコート塗膜を設けて複層塗膜を形成することにより、ベースコート塗膜に由来する意匠性と、クリヤーコート塗膜に由来する光沢、平滑性等を具備した、優れた外観を有する上塗り塗膜を得ることができる。
 近年、下塗り塗膜、中塗り塗膜、ベースコート塗膜及びクリヤーコート塗膜からなる複層塗膜全体の塗膜性能を向上させるという観点から、ベースコート塗膜が、意匠性だけではなく、平滑性、耐チッピング性、付着性等の塗膜性能にも優れることが望まれている。そのため、最近では、意匠性、平滑性、付着性及び耐チッピング性に優れた塗膜を形成することができるベースコート塗料を開発することが求められている。
 例えば、特開平2002−121472号公報には、多価アルコールと多塩基酸とを反応させて得られる、該多塩基酸成分中の60モル%以上が脂環式多塩基酸であり且つ水酸基を含有するポリエステル樹脂(A)、及び硬化剤(B)を含有する着色塗料用樹脂組成物をベースコート塗料として使用することによって、耐チッピング性及び外観に優れた塗膜を形成することができることが記載されている。しかしながら、該着色塗料用樹脂組成物によって形成される塗膜は依然として平滑性、付着性及び耐チッピング性が不十分な場合がある。
 また、特開平9−176559号公報には、(A)水酸基及びカルボキシル基含有アクリル樹脂、(B)メラミン樹脂、(C)1分子中に1個の脂環式エポキシ基を含有する化合物、及び(D)中和剤を含有する水性ベースコート塗料組成物を使用することによって、耐チッピング性及び耐水性に優れた塗膜を形成できることが記載されている。しかしながら、該水性ベースコート塗料組成物によって得られる塗膜においても、依然として平滑性、付着性及び耐チッピング性が不十分な場合がある。
 さらに、特開昭58−71968号公報には、(A)水性樹脂、(B)樹脂微粉末、(C)耐チッピング性顔料、及び(D)防錆顔料を含有する耐チッピング性塗料組成物が記載されている。しかしながら、該耐チッピング性塗料組成物をベースコート塗料として使用した場合、クリヤーコート塗膜を透かして視認されるベースコート塗膜は平滑性及び鮮映性に劣り、上塗り塗膜として満足な外観を得ることができない。形成されるベースコート塗膜は、通常、20μm未満の比較的薄い硬化膜厚を有するが、上記耐チッピング性塗料組成物をこのような比較的薄い硬化膜厚となるように塗装した場合、得られるベースコート塗膜は、平滑性に劣る、ベースコート塗膜とクリヤーコート塗膜との付着性が低下して、複層塗膜全体としての付着性及び耐チッピング性が低下する等の問題がある。
In general, undercoats, intermediate coats, and topcoats are sequentially applied to an object to be coated such as an automobile outer plate part to form a multi-layer coat consisting of an undercoat, an intermediate coat, and an overcoat. The Usually, the undercoat coating film is required to have anticorrosion properties, and the intermediate coating film is required to have smoothness, chipping resistance, ensuring adhesion between the undercoat film and the topcoat film, and the like. Further, the top coat film is required to have an excellent appearance.
Further, the top coating film is generally formed by a multilayer coating film comprising a base coat film and a clear coat film. The base coat film is usually formed by using a colored base coat paint containing pigments such as a luster pigment and a color pigment, and a transparent clear coat film is provided on the base coat film to form a multilayer coat film. By doing so, it is possible to obtain a top coat film having an excellent appearance and having a design property derived from the base coat film and a gloss and smoothness derived from the clear coat film.
In recent years, from the viewpoint of improving the overall coating performance of a multi-layer coating composed of an undercoat, an intermediate coat, a base coat, and a clear coat, the base coat is not only designed but also smooth. It is also desired that the coating film performance such as chipping resistance and adhesion is excellent. Therefore, recently, it has been demanded to develop a base coat paint capable of forming a coating film having excellent design properties, smoothness, adhesion and chipping resistance.
For example, JP-A No. 2002-121472 discloses that 60 mol% or more of the polybasic acid component obtained by reacting a polyhydric alcohol and a polybasic acid is an alicyclic polybasic acid and a hydroxyl group. It is described that a coating film excellent in chipping resistance and appearance can be formed by using, as a base coat paint, a resin composition for a colored paint containing a polyester resin (A) and a curing agent (B). Has been. However, the coating film formed with the colored paint resin composition may still have insufficient smoothness, adhesion and chipping resistance.
JP-A-9-176559 discloses (A) a hydroxyl group- and carboxyl group-containing acrylic resin, (B) a melamine resin, (C) a compound containing one alicyclic epoxy group in one molecule, and (D) It is described that a coating film excellent in chipping resistance and water resistance can be formed by using an aqueous base coat coating composition containing a neutralizing agent. However, even in the coating film obtained by the aqueous base coat coating composition, smoothness, adhesion and chipping resistance may still be insufficient.
Further, JP-A-58-71968 discloses a chipping resistant coating composition containing (A) an aqueous resin, (B) a fine resin powder, (C) a chipping resistant pigment, and (D) a rust preventive pigment. Is described. However, when the chipping-resistant coating composition is used as a base coat paint, the base coat film visible through the clear coat film is inferior in smoothness and sharpness, and a satisfactory appearance as a top coat film is obtained. I can't. The formed base coat film usually has a relatively thin cured film thickness of less than 20 μm, but is obtained when the above chipping-resistant coating composition is applied so as to have such a relatively thin cured film thickness. The base coat film has problems such as inferior smoothness, decreased adhesion between the base coat film and the clear coat film, and decreased adhesion and chipping resistance as the entire multilayer coating film.
 本発明の目的は、平滑性、鮮映性、付着性及び耐チッピング性に優れた塗膜を形成することができるベースコート塗料組成物を提供することである。
 本発明者らは、鋭意検討を重ねた結果、今回、被膜形成性樹脂成分に加えて、特定の粒径を有するタルクならびに水酸基及びリン酸基を含有する樹脂を含有するベースコート塗料組成物により上記の目的を達成することができることを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。

(B) 体積基準の粒度分布において、小粒径側からの積算粒径分布が50%となる粒径(D50)が1~10μmの範囲内にあり、かつ粒径が0.1μm以上3μm未満の粒子の含有率P(%)と粒径が3μm以上10μm以下の粒子の含有率P(%)との比P=P/Pが少なくとも1.1であるタルク、ならびに

 本発明のベースコート塗料組成物を使用することにより、付着性及び耐チッピング性に優れ、かつ上塗り塗料に求められる優れた平滑性及び鮮映性を有する塗膜を形成せしめることができる。その理由としては、本塗料中のタルク(B)が、小粒径側からの積算粒径分布が50%となる粒径(D50)が1~10μmの範囲内であり、比較的小粒径のタルクを主成分とする一方で、粒径が0.1μm以上3μm未満の粒子の含有率P(%)と粒径が3μm以上10μm以下の粒子の含有率P(%)との比P=P/Pが1.1以上であり、粒径が0.1μm以上3μm未満の粒子よりも粒径が3μm以上10μm以下の粒子を多く含有し、過度に小粒径化していないため、耐チッピング性を損なわずに、優れた平滑性及び鮮映性を有する塗膜を形成せしめるできることが推察される。さらに、水酸基及びリン酸基を含有する樹脂(C)中のリン酸基が、タルク(B)と相互作用し、タルク(B)を塗膜中に均一に分散させるため、得られる塗膜の平滑性、鮮映性及び塗膜強度が向上し、結果として、平滑性、鮮映性、付着性及び耐チッピング性に優れた塗膜が形成されると推察される。
