Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a durable excellent stain-proofing property to the surface of a coating formed on a substrate surface of a building board without deteriorating the surface of the coating. The present invention also, provides a stain-proofing agent containing silica fine particles, an aqueous solvent and, as a stain-proofing improver, an alkali metal compound and/or an alkaline earth metal compound and/or a phosphorus compound and/or a clay mineral. The present invention also provides a building board having an excellent stain-proofing property prepared by applying a coating composition onto the surface of a substrate to form a coat, and then applying a stain-proofing agent onto the coat while the coat is in an unhardened state or applying a stain-proofing agent onto the coat after subjecting the coat to a roughening treatment to enhance the adhesion of the stain-proofing layer to the coat.

Claims (12)

1. A stain-proofing agent which comprises silica fine particles, an aqueous solvent, and additionally a stain-proofing improver selected from the group consisting of hydroxyapatite, a mixture of hydroxyapatite and lithium metasilicate, and a mixture of hydroxyapatite and magnesium silicate.

2. The stain-proofing agent according to claim 1 , further comprising a dispersing agent.

3. The stain-proofing agent according to claim 1 , wherein the aqueous solvent is a mixture of water and an alcohol; wherein the alcohol is selected from the group consisting of methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol.

4. A building board comprising a substrate, a coat and a super hydrophilic stain-proofing film, wherein the coat is formed by applying a coating composition onto the surface of the substrate and the super hydrophilic stain-proofing film is formed by applying a stain-proofing agent onto the coat while the coat is in an unhardened state,

wherein the stain-proofing agent comprises silica fine particles, an aqueous solvent, and additionally a stain-proofing improver selected from the group consisting of hydroxyapatite, a mixture of hydroxyapatite and lithium metasilicate, and a mixture of hydroxyapatite and magnesium silicate;

wherein the silica fine particles in the stain-proofing agent slightly gets into the coat.

5. A building board comprising a substrate, a coat and a super hydrophilic stain-proofing film, wherein the coat is formed by applying a coating composition onto the surface of the substrate and the super hydrophilic stain-proofing film is formed by applying a stain-proofing agent onto the coat after the coat is subjected to a roughening treatment,

wherein the stain-proofing agent comprises silica fine particles, an aqueous solvent, and additionally a stain-proofing improver selected from the group consisting of hydroxyapatite, a mixture of hydroxyapatite and lithium metasilicate, and a mixture of hydroxyapatite and magnesium silicate.

6. The building board according to claim 4 , wherein, the stain-proofing agent further comprises a dispersing agent.

7. The building board according to claim 4 , wherein the aqueous solvent is a mixture of water and an alcohol; wherein the alcohol is selected from the group consisting of methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol.

8. The building board according to claim 5 , wherein the stain-proofing agent further comprises a dispersing agent.

9. The building board according to claim 5 , wherein the aqueous solvent is a mixture of water and an alcohol; wherein the alcohol is selected from the group consisting of methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol.
