Abstract

A coating composition comprising 100 pbw as solids of a synthetic resin emulsion and 1-300 pbw of a non-halogen flame retardant in which phosphorus and nitrogen-containing non-halogen flame retardant particles are surface coated with a functional group-containing organosilicon resin is applicable to vehicle interior materials such as car seats, floor mats and ceiling members.

Claims (29)

1. A vehicle interior material comprising a substrate of the vehicle interior material and a coating composition coated thereon comprising a synthetic resin emulsion and at least one non-halogen flame retardant in which phosphorus and nitrogen-containing non-halogen flame retardant particles are surface coated with a functional group-containing organosilicon resin,

said synthetic resin emulsion being selected from the group consisting of (meth)acrylate resin base emulsions, styrene/acrylate copolymer base emulsions, ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer base emulsions and mixtures thereof,

said phosphorus and nitrogen-containing non-halogen flame retardant particle being at least one selected from the group consisting of guanidine phosphates, ammonium phosphates, and ammonium polyphosphates,

said functional group-containing organosilicon resin being the reaction product of a siloxane oligomer which is a partial hydrolytic condensate of at least one alkoxysilane having the formula:

R n Si(OR′) 4-n

wherein R is a monovalent hydrocarbon group, R′ is C 1 -C 4 alkyl, and n is an integer of 0 to 3, the condensate containing at least one alkoxy group and having 2 to 10 silicon atoms on the average, with a functional group-containing organosilicon compound which is a functional group-containing alkoxysilane having the formula:

X m R k Si(OR′) 4-m-k

wherein X is an alkyl group having a functional group selected from the group consisting of epoxy, vinyl, mercapto, carboxyl, and amino, R is a monovalent hydrocarbon group, R′ is C 1 -C 4 alkyl, m is 1, 2, or 3, k is 0, 1, or 2, and m+k is 1, 2, or 3, or a partial hydrolyzate thereof, wherein 0.1 to 20 parts by weight of a bis(alkoxysilyl) group-containing compound or partial hydrolyzate thereof is added per 100 parts by weight of the siloxane oligomer, and

said at least one non-halogen flame retardant being added in an amount of 1 to 300 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of solids of the synthetic resin emulsion.

2. The vehicle interior material of claim 1 , wherein the substrate is a substrate of vehicle interior material selected from the group consisting of car seats, floor mats and ceiling members.

3. The vehicle interior material of claim 2 , wherein the substrate is selected from the group consisting of woven fabrics and knitted goods of polyester and nylon and non-woven fabrics of polyester and polypropylene.

4. The vehicle interior material of claim 1 , wherein said phosphorus and nitrogen-containing non-halogen flame retardant particle is an ammonium polyphosphate.

5. The vehicle interior material of claim 1 , wherein the alkoxysilane contains at least 50% by weight of a trialkoxysilane.

6. The vehicle interior material of claim 1 , wherein said siloxane oligomer is one obtained by reacting a C 1 -C 6 alkyltrichlorosilane with methanol or ethanol and has 2 to 6 silicon atoms on the average.

7. The vehicle interior material of claim 1 , wherein said functional group is an amino group.

8. The vehicle interior material of claim 1 , wherein the functional group-containing organosilicon compound is used in an amount of 0.5 to 50 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the siloxane oligomer.

9. The vehicle interior material of claim 1 , wherein the reaction is conducted at about 60 to 100° C. for about 1 to 3 hours.

10. The vehicle interior material of claim 1 , wherein the functional group-containing organosilicon resin has a weight average molecular weight of 500 to 5,000.

11. The vehicle interior material of claim 1 , wherein the resin-coated non-halogen flame retardant has an average particle size of 3 to 25 μm.

12. The vehicle interior material of claim 1 , wherein 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of inorganic oxide fine particles is added per 100 parts by weight of the siloxane oligomer.

13. The vehicle interior material of claim 1 , wherein the coating weight of the coating composition is 30 to 600 g/m 2 in a dry state.

14. The vehicle interior material of claim 1 , wherein said coating composition has a viscosity of 10,000 to 50,000 mPa·s as 25° C.

15. The vehicle interior material of claim 1 , wherein said functional group-containing organosilicon resin includes an amino group-containing alkoxysilane and partial hydrolyzates thereof.

16. The vehicle interior material of claim 1 , wherein said amino group-containing alkoxysilane is selected from the group consisting of

N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane,

N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane,

N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane,
