Abstract

An article includes a substrate; a first layer disposed on the first major surface of the substrate, wherein the first layer has an adherence to the substrate of greater than or equal to 4B according to a cross hatch adhesion test set forth in ASTM D3359-17; and at least one ink layer disposed on the first layer having a surface roughness Ra greater than or equal 50 nm to provide a textured surface. Also disclosed is an article a substrate a coating disposed on the first major surface, wherein the coating has an adherence to the substrate of greater than or equal to 4B according to a cross hatch adhesion test set, a gauge hardness greater than or equal to 4H according to a pencil test, and a scratch hardness greater than or equal to 3H according to a pencil test set.

Claims (34)

1. An article comprising:

a substrate comprising a first major surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface;

a first layer disposed on the first major surface, wherein the first layer comprises a silicone resin component, the first layer has an adherence to the substrate of greater than or equal to 4B according to a cross hatch adhesion test set forth in ASTM D3359-17; and

at least one ink layer disposed on the first layer, wherein the at least one ink layer has a surface roughness Ra greater than or equal to 50 nm to provide a textured surface.

2. The article of claim 1 , wherein the silicone resin component comprises a silsesquioxane component.

3. The article of claim 1 , wherein the first layer is an ink.

4. The article of claim 1 , wherein the at least one ink layer has at least one of

(i) a gloss at 60 degrees in a range from 1% to 80%,

(ii) a reflectance haze at 20 degrees in a range from 1% to 80%, or

(iii) an adherence to the first layer greater than or equal to 4B according to a cross hatch adhesion test set forth in ASTM D3359-17.

5. The article of claim 1 , wherein the substrate comprises one of glass, glass ceramic, or polymer material.

6. The article of claim 1 , wherein the at least one ink layer has a gauge hardness greater than or equal to 4H according to a pencil test set forth in ASTM D3363-05(2011)e2.

7. The article of claim 1 , wherein the at least one ink layer has a scratch hardness greater than or equal to 3H according to a pencil test set forth in ASTM D3363-05(2011)e2.

8. The article of claim 1 , wherein a powder coating is not disposed on the at least one ink layer.

9. The article of claim 1 , wherein the first layer is a first pattern that does not completely cover the first surface.

10. The article of claim 9 , wherein the at least one ink layer is a second pattern that is the same as the first pattern.

11. The article of claim 9 , wherein the at least one ink layer comprises a first ink layer applied to a first portion of the first pattern and a second ink layer applied to a second portion of the first pattern.

12. The article of claim 11 , wherein the first ink layer and the second ink layer are different colors.

13. The article of claim 12 , wherein the first ink layer and the second ink layer have a different surface roughness Ra.

14. The article of claim 1 , wherein the first layer has a thickness of about 3 μm or less.

15. The article of claim 1 , wherein the a thickness of the first layer is less than a thickness of the at least one ink layer.

16. A method for creating a textured surface, the method comprising:

applying a first layer to a first surface of substrate such that the first layer has an adherence to the substrate of great than or equal to 4B according to a cross hatch adhesion test set forth in ASTM D3359-17, wherein the first layer comprises a silicone resin component; and

applying at least one ink layer to the first layer, wherein the at least one ink layer has a surface roughness Ra greater than or equal to 50 nm to provide a textured surface.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the first layer is applied as a first pattern that does not completely cover the first surface.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the at least one ink layer is applied as a second pattern that is the same as the first pattern.

19. The method of claim 17 , wherein the at least one ink layer comprises a first ink layer applied to a first portion of the first pattern and a second ink layer applied to a second portion of the first pattern.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the first ink layer and second ink layer or different colors.

21. The method of claim 19 , wherein the first ink layer and the second ink layer have a different surface roughness Ra.

22. The method of claim 16 , wherein the at least one ink layer has at least one of

(i) a gloss at 60 degrees in a range from 1% to 80%,

(ii) a reflectance haze at 20 degrees in range from 1% to 100%, or

(iii) an adherence to the first layer greater than or equal to 4B according to a cross hatch adhesion test set forth in ASTM D3359-17.

23. The method of claim 16 , wherein the substrate comprises one of a glass, glass ceramic, or polymer material.
