Abstract

The present invention relates to an undercoat paint composition comprising an acid-modified polyester resin, a pigment, and a solvent.

Claims (22)

1. An undercoat paint composition comprising an acid-modified polyester-based resin, a pigment, and a solvent,

wherein the acid-modified polyester-based resin is a polyester-based resin modified with one or more acids selected from the group consisting of organic acids and inorganic acids, and

the undercoat paint composition comprises 40 to 55 parts by weight of an acid-modified polyester-based resin, 3 to 25 parts by weight of a pigment, and 25 to 40 parts by weight of a solvent.

2. The undercoat paint composition of claim 1 , wherein the acid-modified polyester-based resin has an acid value of 5 to 30 mgKOH/g, a number average molecular weight of 5,000 to 15,000 g/mol, and a glass transition temperature of 10 to 50° C.

3. The undercoat paint composition according to claim 1 , wherein the acid-modified polyester-based resin is modified with an inorganic acid.

4. The undercoat paint composition according to claim 3 , wherein the inorganic acid comprises one or more selected from the group consisting of a sulfuric acid, a nitric acid, a phosphoric acid, and a carbonic acid.

5. The undercoat paint composition according to claim 3 , wherein the inorganic acid comprises one or more selected from the group consisting of a sulfuric acid, a nitric acid, and a phosphoric acid.

6. The undercoat paint composition according to claim 1 , wherein the organic acid comprises one or more selected from the group consisting of a formic acid, an acetic acid, an oxalic acid, and a fatty acid.

7. The undercoat paint composition according to claim 1 , wherein acid content of the acid-modified polyester-based resin is 1 to 5 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the acid-modified polyester-based resin.

8. The undercoat paint composition according to claim 1 , wherein acid content of the acid-modified polyester-based resin is 1.5 to 3.7 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the acid-modified polyester-based resin.

9. The undercoat paint composition according to claim 1 , wherein the acid-modified polyester-based resin has a number average molecular weight (Mn) of 5,000 to 15,000 g/mol.

10. The undercoat paint composition according to claim 1 , wherein the acid-modified polyester-based resin has a number average molecular weight (Mn) of 7,000 to 12,000 g/mol.

11. The undercoat paint composition according to claim 1 , wherein the acid-modified polyester-based resin has glass transition temperature (Tg) of 10 to 50° C.

12. The undercoat paint composition according to claim 1 , wherein the acid-modified polyester-based resin has glass transition temperature (Tg) of 20 to 40° C.

13. The undercoat paint composition according to claim 1 , wherein the acid-modified polyester-based resin has a viscosity of 100 to 3,000 cps at 25° C.

14. The undercoat paint composition according to claim 1 , wherein the acid-modified polyester-based resin has a viscosity of 500 to 2,500 cps at 25° C.

15. The undercoat paint composition according to claim 1 , wherein the acid-modified polyester-based resin is in the composition in an amount of 40 to 55 parts by weight based on 3 to 25 parts by weight of the pigment.

16. The undercoat paint composition according to claim 1 , wherein the pigment comprises one or more selected from the group consisting of a black pigment, a white pigment, a blue pigment, a red pigment, a yellow pigment, and a violet pigment.

17. The undercoat paint composition according to claim 1 , wherein the pigment comprises a black pigment selected from the group consisting of carbon black, graphite, and iron oxide.

18. The undercoat paint composition according to claim 1 , wherein the pigment comprises titanium dioxide.

19. The undercoat paint composition according to claim 1 , wherein the solvent comprises an aromatic hydrocarbon-based solvent or an ether-based solvent.

20. The undercoat paint composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises an additive selected rom the group consisting of a dispersing agent, a thickener, and a curing accelerator.
