Abstract: The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a coating composition that can reduce the heating temperature and shorten the heating time in the coating process, and that has excellent scratch resistance and weather resistance. The present invention provides a coating composition comprising a radically polymerizable unsaturated group-containing compound (A) and a hydroxyl-containing resin (B), the compound (A) being obtained by reacting a caprolactone-modified hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate with a polyisocyanate compound, and having an isocyanate equivalent of 300 to 3,800.

Abstract: An object is to improve the durability of a mold and reduce the cost of the mold. A disc-molding mold includes a first mold; and a second mold disposed in opposition to the first mold such that the second mold can advance and retreat. One of the first and second molds includes a base material having a roughened surface, and a coating layer formed on the surface of the base material through coating treatment. A stamper attachment surface is defined on a surface of the coating layer. Since a coating layer is formed on the roughened surface of the base material through coating treatment, the area of contact between the base material and the coating layer can be increased. Therefore, the adhesion force between the base material and the coating layer increases, so that the coating layer becomes unlikely to peel off, whereby the durability of the mold can be improved, and the cost of the mold can be reduced.

Abstract: An object is to improve the wear resistance of a mold part and improve accuracy of disc substrates. A disc-molding mold comprises a first mold including a first support plate and a first mirror-surface disc attached to the first support plate; and a second mold including a second support plate and a second mirror-surface disc attached to the second support plate. A sliding surface of a mold part disposed on one of the first and second molds is treated by means of low-temperature nitriding. In this case, since the mold part is treated by means of low-temperature nitriding, the wear resistance of the mold part can be improved. In addition, since the treatment temperature is low, even when low-temperature nitriding is performed on a mold part which is complicated in shape, the mold part does not deform, and its dimensional variation can be decreased.

Abstract: The invention provides a mold for molding a disk which can uniformly cool a molded product and prevent generation of printing unevenness in a printing region of the molded product, and a molded product molded by use of the mold. The mold includes a first mold plate; a first mirror-surface disk; a second mold plate disposed to advance and retreat in relation to the first mold plate; a second mirror-surface disk forming a cavity in cooperation with the first mirror-surface disk in a mold-clamped condition; a stamper (32) attached to one of the first and second mirror-surface disks and having a fine pattern formed on a front end surface thereof; and a bush (55) extending through the other of the first and second mirror-surface disks. On a front end surface of the other mirror-surface disk, the bush (55) is disposed radially inward of a region for forming a clamp area.

Abstract: An object is to provide a disc-molding mold which can increase the degree of transfer of a pattern of a stamper to thereby improve quality of molded products, as well as a molded product and a molding machine. In the vicinity of the outer peripheral edges of first and second disc-shaped members, the cooling capacity of the medium flow passage of the stamper-side disc-shaped member is made lower than the cooling capacity of the medium flow passage of the non-stamper-side disc-shaped member. On the stamper side, the quantity of heat radiated from the outer peripheral edge of the stamper-side disc-shaped member to the outside of the disc-molding mold can be reduced, whereby over-cooling of the stamper-side disc-shaped member can be prevented.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a mold for molding, a molding method, and a molding machine in which generation of burrs on a disc substrate can be prevented to thereby enhance quality of the disc substrate, as well as a disc substrate molded by the same. The mold for molding includes a mirror-surface disc (16); a stamper (29) having a hole formed at its center, and attached to the front end surface of the mirror-surface disc (16); and an inner holder (60) for holding the stamper (29) by means of press fit into the hole. In the course of the press fit, at least either the stamper (29) or the inner holder (60) is subjected to stress in excess of its yield point and plastically deformed. In this case, the inner holder (60) is press-fitted into the hole of the stamper (29) to thereby hold the stamper (29), thereby eliminating need to form a holding portion at the outer circumferential edge of the front end of the inner holder (60).

Abstract: An object is to provide a mold apparatus which can prevent inclination of a machining member to thereby improve quality of molded products. The mold apparatus includes a first mold unit; a second mold unit; a sprue bush (24) disposed in one of the first and second mold units and having a sprue (26) for charging a molding material into a cavity space (C); a machining member disposed in the other of the first and second mold units in such a manner that the machining member can be advanced and retracted, the machining member performing a predetermined machining for a prototype of a molded product when the machining member is advanced; and a bush (47) disposed radially outward of the machining member to surround the machining member and having a flow passage (55) which is formed in a front end portion thereof and through which a temperature control medium flows.
