Abstract

Provided are a clear coating composition which is used for top coats, the composition containing a crosslinking agent and a functional group-containing (meth)acrylate polymer formed by polymerization of a monomer component that includes an aromatic ring-containing (meth)acrylate and a functional group-containing monomer. Also provided is a clear coat composition which is used for top coats, the composition containing a crosslinking agent and a functional group-containing (meth)acrylate polymer formed by polymerization of a monomer component that includes a functional group-containing monomer and a fluorine atom-containing monomer. This clear coat composition has low colorability, has a high refractive index without the use of a filler, provides excellent glossy even when a filler is used, and can be applied to a thick film.

Claims (15)

1. A clear coating composition used for a top coat, comprising:

(A) a functional group-containing (meth)acrylate-based polymer made by the polymerization of a monomer component comprising an aromatic ring-containing (meth)acrylate and a functional group-containing monomer represented by the formula (I):

wherein R 1 represents hydrogen atom or methyl group, and R 2 represents hydroxyl group, an alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms having hydroxyl group, carboxyl group, an alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms having carboxyl group, epoxy group, an alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms having epoxy group, a hydroxyalkyloxycarbonyl group having a hydroxyalkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a group represented by the formula:

wherein n represents an integer of 3 to 20, and

(B) a crosslinking agent,

wherein said aromatic ring-containing (meth)acrylate is at least one member selected from the group consisting of naphthalene (meth)acrylate, anthranyl (meth)acrylate, phenanthryl (meth)acrylate and naphthalene-containing urethane-modified methacrylate.

2. The clear coating composition according to claim 1 , further comprising a filler having an average particle diameter of 3 to 30 nm in an amount of 1 to 25 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the functional group-containing (meth)acrylate-based polymer.

3. A clear coating composition used for a top coat, comprising:

(A) a functional group-containing (meth)acrylate-based polymer made by the polymerization of a monomer component comprising a functional group-containing monomer represented by the formula (I):

wherein R 1 represents hydrogen atom or methyl group, and R 2 represents hydroxyl group, an alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms having hydroxyl group, carboxyl group, an alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms having carboxyl group, epoxy group, an alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms having epoxy group, a hydroxyalkyloxycarbonyl group having a hydroxyalkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a group represented by the formula:

wherein n represents an integer of 3 to 20, and a fluorine atom-containing monomer represented by the formula (II):

wherein R 1 is the same as the above, and R 3 represents an alkyl group of 2 carbon atoms having 3 fluorine atoms, and (B) a crosslinking agent,

wherein the content of the functional group-containing monomer in the monomer component is 5 to 40% by mass, and the content of the fluorine atom-containing monomer in the monomer component is 60 to 95% by mass.

4. The clear coating composition according to claim 3 , wherein the content of the functional group-containing monomer in the monomer component is 5 to 30% by mass, and the content of the fluorine atom-containing monomer in the monomer component is 70 to 95% by mass.

5. The clear coating composition according to claim 3 , wherein the content of the functional group-containing monomer in the monomer component is 5 to 20% by mass, and the content of the fluorine atom-containing monomer in the monomer component is 80 to 95% by mass.
