Wavelength conversion film, agricultural film, structure and coating film forming composition
View Patent ↗To provide a wavelength conversion film which is capable of maintaining an optical wavelength converting function for a longer period of time than conventional wavelength conversion films. A wavelength conversion film 10 containing an inorganic ultraviolet blocking material and a wavelength converting material, which consists of one or more layers, at least one of which is a base film layer 12 containing a thermoplastic resin.
1. A wavelength conversion film comprising an inorganic ultraviolet blocking material and a wavelength converting material, and consisting of one or more layers, at least one of which is a base film layer comprising a thermoplastic resin, wherein the inorganic ultraviolet blocking material is a metal oxide covered with at least one selected from the group consisting of silica, zirconia and alumina, and the metal oxide is at least one selected from the group consisting of cerium oxide, zinc oxide, titanium oxide and iron oxide, and wherein the wavelength converting material comprises a perylene colorant.
2. The wavelength conversion film according to claim 1 , which consists of one base film layer, wherein the base film layer comprises the above inorganic ultraviolet blocking material and the above wavelength converting material.
3. The wavelength conversion film according to claim 1 , which consists of two or more layers, one of which comprises the above inorganic ultraviolet blocking material and the above wavelength converting material.
4. The wavelength conversion film according to claim 3 , wherein the above base film layer consists of at least two layers.
5. The wavelength conversion film according to claim 3 , wherein at least one layer is the above base film layer and at least another layer is a coating layer comprising a resin.
6. The wavelength conversion film according to claim 5 , wherein at least one coating layer comprises a fluororesin as the resin.
7. The wavelength conversion film according to claim 1 , which consists of two or more layers, one of which is an ultraviolet blocking layer comprising the above inorganic ultraviolet blocking material and another of which is a wavelength converting layer comprising the above wavelength converting material.
8. A structure using the wavelength conversion film as defined in claim 7 , as a roofing material or a wall covering material, wherein the wavelength conversion film is disposed so that the ultraviolet blocking layer is on the sunlight-incoming side.
9. A structure using the wavelength conversion film as defined in claim 7 as a roofing material or a wall covering material, wherein the wavelength converting layer does not contain an inorganic ultraviolet blocking material, and wherein the ultraviolet blocking layer is disposed on the sunlight-incoming side.
10. The wavelength conversion film according to claim 1 , wherein at least one base film layer comprises a thermoplastic fluororesin as the thermoplastic resin.
11. The wavelength conversion film according to claim 1 , wherein the thermoplastic fluororesin is an ethylene/tetrafluoroethylene copolymer or polyvinylidene fluoride.
12. The wavelength conversion film according to claim 1 , wherein the wavelength converting material is covered with at least one selected from the group consisting of silica, alumina, zirconia and a cross-linked acrylic resin.
13. An agricultural film made of the wavelength conversion film according to claim 1 .
14. The agricultural film according to claim 13 , which further has a droplet flowing layer formed on one or both sides of the wavelength conversion film.
