複層塗膜および複層塗膜の形成方法MULTILAYER COATING FILM AND METHOD FOR FORMING MULTIPLE LAYER COATING FILM
 本発明は、複層塗膜および複層塗膜の形成方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a multilayer coating film and a method for forming a multilayer coating film.
 自動車車体などの被塗物の表面には、種々の役割を持つ複数の塗膜を順次形成して、被塗物を保護すると同時に美しい外観および優れた意匠を付与している。このような複数の塗膜の形成方法としては、導電性に優れた被塗物上に電着塗膜などの下塗り塗膜を形成し、その上に、必要に応じた中塗り塗膜、そして上塗り塗膜を順次形成する方法が一般的である。これらの塗膜において、特に塗膜の外観および意匠を大きく左右するのは、ベース塗膜とクリヤー塗膜とからなる上塗り塗膜である。特に自動車において、車体上に形成されるベース塗膜とクリヤー塗膜とからなる上塗り塗膜の外観および意匠は、極めて重要である。  On the surface of an object to be coated such as an automobile body, multiple coating films with various roles are sequentially formed to protect the object to be coated and at the same time impart a beautiful appearance and excellent design. As a method for forming such a plurality of coating films, an undercoat coating film such as an electrodeposition coating film is formed on an object to be coated with excellent conductivity, and an intermediate coating film is formed thereon, if necessary. A method of sequentially forming top coat films is common. In these coating films, it is the top coating film consisting of the base coating film and the clear coating film that greatly affects the appearance and design of the coating film. In particular, in automobiles, the appearance and design of a top coat consisting of a base coat and a clear coat formed on a vehicle body are extremely important.
 自動車に形成された塗膜の外観は、その自動車の高級感などといった外観価値に大きく関与する。また自動車を購入する顧客は、意匠性に優れた塗膜を有する自動車を求める傾向にある。消費者の好みの多様化および独自性志向により、より独特な意匠が求められている。  The appearance of the paint film formed on the automobile greatly contributes to the appearance value of the automobile, such as its luxury appearance. In addition, customers who purchase automobiles tend to seek automobiles having coating films with excellent design. Due to the diversification of consumer tastes and the desire for originality, more unique designs are being sought.

 本開示によれば、黒色塗膜と認識されるほどに明度および彩度が低い一方で、輝度が認識される複層塗膜を形成することができる。 According to the present disclosure, it is possible to form a multi-layer coating film that has low brightness and chroma to the extent that it can be recognized as a black coating film, while having recognizable brightness.
 本件発明者らは、意匠性に優れる塗色の塗膜の開発を目的として研究を行ってきた。この中で、一般に高級感があると認識される黒色の範囲で、特異的な外観を有する塗膜の開発を目的として、黒色塗膜と認識されるほどに明度および彩度が低い一方で輝度が認識される塗膜を形成する手法を検討してきた。 The inventors have been conducting research with the aim of developing paint films with excellent design properties. Among these, in the range of black generally recognized as a high-class feeling, with the aim of developing a coating film with a unique appearance, brightness and saturation are low enough to be recognized as a black coating film, but luminance I have been studying the method of forming a coating film that is recognized.
 塗膜に輝度を持たせる手法の1つとして、例えばアルミニウム顔料などの光輝性顔料を塗膜に加える手法がある。しかしながら、塗膜に単にアルミニウム顔料を加える場合は、アルミニウム顔料自体の色味(銀色)が加わることにより明度が高くなってしまう。このような塗膜は、いわゆるメタリック調といわれるグレー色の塗膜となる。一方で、例えば光輝性顔料としてマイカを塗膜に加える場合は、塗膜全体に白濁のような濁りが生じてしまい、黒色感が低下してしまう。このように、黒色塗膜において輝度が視認できる塗膜を形成することは困難であった。 One of the methods for giving brightness to the coating film is to add luster pigments such as aluminum pigments to the coating film. However, when simply adding an aluminum pigment to a coating film, the lightness increases due to the addition of the tint (silver) of the aluminum pigment itself. Such a coating film becomes a so-called metallic gray coating film. On the other hand, for example, when mica is added as a bright pigment to the coating film, turbidity such as white turbidity occurs in the entire coating film, resulting in a decrease in black feeling. As described above, it was difficult to form a coating film in which the luminance can be visually recognized in the black coating film.
 本発明者らは、上記課題を解決することを目的として研究を行った。そして、特定の第1塗膜および第2塗膜を組み合わせることにより、黒色塗膜と認識されるほどに明度および彩度が低い一方で輝度が認識される複層塗膜を提供することができることを、実験により見出し、本件発明を完成するに至った。以下、第1塗膜を形成する第1塗料組成物、第2塗膜を形成する第2塗料組成物について順次記載する。 The inventors conducted research with the aim of solving the above problems. And, by combining the specific first coating film and the second coating film, it is possible to provide a multi-layer coating film that has low brightness and saturation to the extent that it can be recognized as a black coating film, but has recognizable brightness. was found by experiments, and the present invention was completed.

 本開示の複層塗膜において、上記L*(25°)値は5以上25以下であることを条件とする。上記複層塗膜は、L*(25°)値が上記範囲内であり、いわゆるハイライト受光角条件下においても、複層塗膜が黒色塗膜と認識されるほどに明度が低いことを特徴の1つとする。上記L*(25°)値の下限値は7であるのが好ましく、10であるのがより好ましい。また、上記L*(25°)値の上限値は24.5であるのが好ましい。 In the multilayer coating film of the present disclosure, the L* (25°) value is 5 or more and 25 or less. The multi-layer coating film has an L* (25°) value within the above range, and the lightness is so low that the multi-layer coating film is recognized as a black coating film even under so-called highlight light receiving angle conditions. Let it be one of the features. The lower limit of the L*(25°) value is preferably 7, more preferably 10. Also, the upper limit of the L*(25°) value is preferably 24.5.
 本開示の複層塗膜は、入射角45°受光角45°におけるL*(45°)値が2以上8以下であるのが好ましい。入射角45°受光角45°の測定条件は、ハイライト(受光角15~25°)からシェード(受光角75~110°)に移行する間の、いわゆるフェースと言われる受光角条件である。この測定条件における明度L*(45°)値が上記範囲内であることによって、正面条件から見た複層塗膜の明度が十分に低く、本開示が目的とする意匠を好適に有することとなる。 The multilayer coating film of the present disclosure preferably has an L*(45°) value of 2 or more and 8 or less at an incident angle of 45° and a light receiving angle of 45°. The measurement condition of the incident angle of 45° and the light receiving angle of 45° is the so-called face receiving angle condition during the transition from highlight (light receiving angle of 15 to 25°) to shade (light receiving angle of 75 to 110°). When the lightness L* (45°) value in this measurement condition is within the above range, the lightness of the multilayer coating film viewed from the front condition is sufficiently low, and the design intended by the present disclosure is suitably obtained. Become.
 本開示の複層塗膜はまた、入射角45°受光角15°における光輝強度Si(15°)値が1以上18以下であることを条件とする。上記光輝強度(Si)は輝きの強さを示す指標であり、数値が高いほど輝きが強いことを意味する。 The multi-layer coating film of the present disclosure is also conditional on the brilliance intensity Si (15°) value at an incident angle of 45° and a light receiving angle of 15° being 1 or more and 18 or less. The brilliance intensity (Si) is an index indicating the intensity of brilliance, and the higher the value, the stronger the brilliance.
 本明細書において、上記光輝強度Siの測定値は、上記明度L*の測定と同様の手順で作成した複層塗膜を用いて測定した値をいう。上記光輝強度Si(15°)値は、LED光源を入射角45°で塗膜に対して照射し、この45°の角度から照射した光の正反射光の位置を0°とし、この正反射光から入射角方向へ15°の位置(受光角15°)に配置したCCDチップで画像を取得し、取得した画像を、明るさレベルのヒストグラムを用いた画像解析アルゴリズムで解析し、2次元分析を行うことによって、光輝度パラメータを計算し、光輝強度(Sparkle intensity=Si値)として表した数値である。 In this specification, the measured value of the brightness intensity Si refers to a value measured using a multi-layer coating film prepared in the same procedure as the measurement of the brightness L*. The above brightness intensity Si (15 °) value is obtained by irradiating the coating film with an LED light source at an incident angle of 45 °, and setting the position of the specularly reflected light of the light irradiated from this 45 ° angle to 0 °. An image is captured by a CCD chip placed at a position 15° from the light in the direction of the incident angle (15° light receiving angle), and the captured image is analyzed by an image analysis algorithm using a brightness level histogram, followed by two-dimensional analysis. is a numerical value expressed as a sparkle intensity (Sparkle intensity=Si value) calculated by performing the above.
 複層塗膜の光輝強度Si(15°)値が1以上18以下であることにより、いわゆるハイライト受光角条件下において、複層塗膜から一定強度の光輝感が認識されることとなる。 When the brightness intensity Si (15°) value of the multilayer coating film is 1 or more and 18 or less, a constant intensity of brightness is recognized from the multilayer coating film under the so-called highlight light receiving angle condition.
 本開示の複層塗膜においてはさらに、入射角45°受光角45°における光輝強度Si(45°)値が1以上17以下であるのが好ましい。光輝強度Si(45°)値は、LED光源を入射角45°で塗膜に対して照射し、この45°の角度から照射した光の正反射光の位置を0°とし、この正反射光から入射角方向へ45°(受光角45°)の位置で、上記と同様の手順により画像取得し光輝強度として表した数値である。複層塗膜の光輝強度Si(45°)値が1以上17以下であることにより、いわゆるフェースと言われる受光角条件下においても複層塗膜から一定強度の光輝感が認識される、意匠上の利点がある。 Further, in the multilayer coating film of the present disclosure, it is preferable that the brightness intensity Si (45°) value at an incident angle of 45° and a light receiving angle of 45° is 1 or more and 17 or less. The brightness intensity Si (45 °) value is obtained by irradiating the coating film with an LED light source at an incident angle of 45 °, and setting the position of the specularly reflected light of the light irradiated from this 45 ° angle to 0 °, and this specularly reflected light is a numerical value obtained by acquiring an image by the same procedure as above at a position of 45° in the incident angle direction (45° of light receiving angle) from , and expressing it as the brightness intensity. A design in which the glitter intensity Si (45°) value of the multilayer coating film is 1 or more and 17 or less, so that a constant intensity of glitter can be recognized from the multilayer coating film even under the light-receiving angle condition called the so-called face. There are advantages above.
 本開示の複層塗膜はまた、入射角45°受光角45°における光輝面積Sa(45°)値が8以上35以下であることを条件とする。光輝面積Sa値は、輝く部分の面積(大きさ)を数値として示す指標である。上記光輝面積Sa値の測定は、上記明度L*の測定と同様の手順で作成した複層塗膜を用いて測定した値をいう。上記光輝面積Sa(45°)値は、LED光源を入射角45°で塗膜に対して照射し、この45°の角度から照射した光の正反射光の位置を0°とし、この正反射光から入射角方向へ45°の位置(受光角15°)に配置したCCDチップで画像を取得し、取得した画像を、明るさレベルのヒストグラムを用いた画像解析アルゴリズムで解析し、2次元分析を行うことによって、光輝度パラメータを計算し、光輝面積(Sparkle area=Sa値)として表した数値である。 The multilayer coating film of the present disclosure is also conditional that the bright area Sa (45°) value at an incident angle of 45° and a light receiving angle of 45° is 8 or more and 35 or less. The bright area Sa value is an index that numerically indicates the area (size) of the bright portion. The measurement of the bright area Sa value refers to the value measured using a multi-layer coating film prepared in the same manner as the measurement of the lightness L*. The above brilliant area Sa (45 °) value is obtained by irradiating the coating film with an LED light source at an incident angle of 45 °, setting the position of the specularly reflected light of the light irradiated from this 45 ° angle to 0 °, and this specular reflection An image is acquired by a CCD chip placed at a position of 45° in the incident angle direction from the light (light receiving angle of 15°), and the acquired image is analyzed by an image analysis algorithm using a brightness level histogram, and two-dimensional analysis. is a numerical value expressed as a bright area (Sparkle area=Sa value), which is obtained by calculating a brightness parameter by performing the above.
 複層塗膜の光輝面積Sa(45°)値が8以上35以下であることにより、いわゆるフェースと言われる受光角条件下において、複層塗膜から一定量面積の光輝感が認識されることとなる。 The glitter area Sa (45°) value of the multilayer coating film is 8 or more and 35 or less, so that a constant area of glitter can be recognized from the multilayer coating film under the light-receiving angle condition called the so-called face. becomes.
 本開示の複層塗膜は、上述の通り、輝度が認識される一方で、明度および彩度が低く、色相としては黒色塗膜と認識されるという、黒色でありながら輝度が認識できる独創的な意匠の塗膜である。 As described above, the multi-layer coating film of the present disclosure is recognized as having brightness, but has low brightness and saturation, and is recognized as a black coating film as a hue. It is a coating film with a unique design.
