  • Patent number: 10190022
    Abstract: Provided is an antifouling composition including a polysilazane-based compound (A) and a both terminal carboxy-modified silicone (B), the content of the component (B) being from 0.01 to 10 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the component (A), and the antifouling composition serves as a sheet-like antifouling layer-forming material. The antifouling composition is able to form a sheet-like antifouling layer having favorable surface state and curability and also having excellent water repellency such that even when a tilt angle is small, water droplets can be slipped off.

  • Patent number: 9873801
    Abstract: Provided is an antifouling sheet having an antifouling layer formed of an antifouling layer-forming composition containing a specific tetrafunctional silane compound (A) and a specific trifunctional silane compound (B) wherein the content of the component (B) is 8 to 90 mol % relative to 100 mol % of the component (A), and the antifouling layer is a layer formed by drying and curing a coating film formed of the antifouling layer-forming composition, in an ammonia atmosphere. Also provided is a method for producing the antifouling sheet. The antifouling sheet is provided with an antifouling layer having good surface state and curability, has a large slip acceleration for water droppings, thereby having excellent water repellency that makes water droplets slip off instantly, and has excellent interlayer adhesiveness.
