Abstract

The invention is intended to easily enhance both the stain-resistant property against water scale and the stain-resistant property against oily components, in sanitary ceramic wares and the like which are brought into contact with water containing soluble silica as well as oily components. The stain-resistant coating material of the invention contains a main agent formed from a perfluoropolyether, and a solvent including an alkane and an alcohol, while the alkane has mean molecular weight of 138 to 180 g/mol.

Claims (27)

1. A coating material, comprising:

a silane coupling agent comprising a perfluoropolyether group; and

a solvent comprising an alkane having a mean molecular weight of 138 to 180 g/mol and an alcohol.

2. The coating material of claim 1 , further comprising an accelerating agent.

3. The coating material of claim 1 , wherein the solvent further comprises a fluorinated solvent.

4. The coating material of claim 1 , wherein the alkane is an isoparaffin.

5. The coating material of claim 1 , wherein the alcohol is tert-butanol.

6. The coating material of claim 1 , wherein the alcohol is ethanol.

7. A product obtained by a process comprising applying the coating material of claim 1 to at least one surface of a glass layer.

8. The coating material of claim 2 , wherein the accelerating agent is hydrochloric acid.

9. The coating material of claim 8 , wherein a content of the hydrochloric acid in the coating material is 0.1 to 1.0 g/L.

10. The coating material of claim 3 , wherein the fluorinated solvent is a hydrofluoroether.

11. The coating material of claim 1 , wherein the alkane is at least one selected from the group consisting of a normal paraffin, an isoparaffin, and a cycloparaffin.

12. The coating material of claim 1 , wherein the alkane is a normal paraffin.

13. The coating material of claim 1 , wherein the alkane is a cycloparaffin.

14. The coating material of claim 1 , wherein the alcohol is at least one selected from the group consisting of n-butanol, isobutanol, sec-butanol, and tert-butanol.

15. The coating material of claim 1 , wherein the alcohol is at least one selected from the group consisting of ethanol, isopropanol, and tert-butanol.

16. The coating material of claim 1 , wherein the alcohol is isopropanol.

17. The coating material of claim 1 , wherein the agent has a formula (I):

18. The coating material of claim 1 , wherein the coating material is stain resistant.

19. The coating material of claim 4 , wherein the alcohol is tert-butanol.

20. The coating material of claim 4 , wherein the alcohol is ethanol.

21. The product of claim 7 , wherein the coating material enhances resistance of the glass to water comprising soluble silica and an oily component.

22. A product obtained by a process comprising applying the coating material of claim 17 to at least one surface of a glass layer.

23. The coating material of claim 17 , wherein the alcohol is at least one selected from the group consisting of n-butanol, isobutanol, sec-butanol, and tert-butanol.

24. The coating material of claim 17 , wherein the alcohol is at least one selected from the group consisting of ethanol, isopropanol, and tert-butanol.

25. The product of claim 21 , wherein the coating material enhances resistance of the glass to water comprising soluble silica and an oily component.
