ANTI-FOGGING AGENT COMPOSITION, ANTI-FOGGING ARTICLE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF
An antifogging agent composition excellent in an antifogging property and peel resistance and an antifogging article obtained using it are provided. The antifogging agent composition includes: a first resin having a water-soluble rate of 90% or more; a second rein having a water-soluble rate of 50% or less; an alkoxysilane compound; and a curing agent, wherein the first resin is a polyfunctional aliphatic epoxy resin, and the second resin is a polyfunctional aromatic epoxy resin having a water-soluble rate of less than 20%. Further, the antifogging article includes: a substrate; and a cured product of the antifogging agent composition, disposed in at least a part of a region on the substrate. Further, a manufacturing method of an antifogging article includes: forming an antifogging agent composition layer by applying the antifogging agent composition on a substrate; and forming an antifogging layer by heat-treating the applied antifogging agent composition.
1 . An antifogging agent composition comprising:
a first resin having a water-soluble rate of 90% or more;
a second resin having a water-soluble rate of 50% or less;
an alkoxysilane compound; and
a curing agent,
wherein the first resin having the water-soluble rate of 90% or more is a polyfunctional aliphatic epoxy resin, and
the second resin having the water-soluble rate of 50% or less is a polyfunctional aromatic epoxy resin having a water-soluble rate of less than 20%.
2 . The antifogging agent composition according to claim 1 ,
wherein the alkoxysilane compound is a compound represented by the following general formula (I),
(R 1 O) p SiR 2 (4-p) (I)
where each R 1 independently represents an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, each R 2 independently represents an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, which may have a substituent, and p represents the number of 1 to 4.
3 . The antifogging agent composition according to claim 1 ,
wherein relative to total 100 parts by mass of the first resin having the water-soluble rate of 90% or more and the second resin having the water-soluble rate of 50% or less, the first resin having the water-soluble rate of 90% or more is 10 to 90 parts by mass and the second resin having the water-soluble rate of 50% or less is 90 to 10 parts by mass.
4 . An antifogging article comprising:
a substrate; and
a cured product of the antifogging agent composition according to claim 1 , disposed in at least a part of a region on the substrate.
5 . A manufacturing method of an antifogging article, the method comprising:
forming an antifogging agent composition layer by applying the antifogging agent composition according to claim 1 on a substrate; and
forming an antifogging layer by heat-treating the applied antifogging agent composition.
