Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a polyisocyanate composition, film-forming composition, film, film laminate, adhesive resin composition and adhesive resin-cured product, and coating composition and coating material-cured product.

BACKGROUND ART

Polyisocyanate compositions obtained from aliphatic diisocyanates and alicyclic diisocyanates have been widely used in various applications because of their excellent weather resistance and heat resistance.

Further, since the blocked polyisocyanate composition in which the isocyanate group of the polyisocyanate composition is blocked with a blocking agent exhibits a storage stability after being mixed with an active hydrogen compound while maintaining the physical properties after curing, it is widely used as a curing agent for automobile coating.

PTL 1 discloses, as an improvement technique for a blocked polyisocyanate composition, a blocked polyisocyanate blocked with two types of blocking agents, a pyrazole-based blocking agent and an oxime-based blocking agent in order to exhibit low-temperature curability and adhesion to various substrates. Further, PTL 2 discloses a curable adhesive composition using a polyisocyanate composition in which a blocked polyisocyanate compound and a non-blocked polyisocyanate compound are mixed, as a technique for achieving both crosslink density and curing strain.

However, in order to exhibit improved performance in various urethane-based thermosetting compositions, further improvement is desired for a polyisocyanate or blocked polyisocyanate.

An example of a field for which improvement is desired is the field of decorative films for interior and exterior parts of automobiles. As a method of decorating the surface of a three-dimensional base material such as interior/exterior parts of an automobile, a method of attaching a film having a design (hereinafter referred to as “decorative film”) to the surface of the base material is known. As a typical film-pasting method, a vacuum/compressed air molding method can be mentioned. In the vacuum/compressed air molding method, a decorative film is stretched on a preformed base material at room temperature or in a heating atmosphere, and is attached to the base material by utilizing the pressure difference. In this method, since the decorative film is attached to the base material surface of the part by work separate from the molding of the base material, a base material of various materials and shapes can be used with one vacuum/air-pressure molding device. A decorative film can be attached to the surface. In molded products obtained from plastics, metals or various other materials, the surface is generally decorated for the purpose of imparting design to the surface or protecting the surface.

As a decorative film, laminated films as described in PTLs 3 to 4 and the like are known. The decorative film used in the vacuum/air-pressure forming method is required to have high stretchability. Further, when a decorative film is used for a three-dimensional base material typified by an automobile exterior part, not only stretchability but also weather resistance and solvent resistance are required. However, in the techniques of PTLs 3 and 4, it may be difficult to achieve both stretchability and solvent resistance.

Further, in the process of manufacturing, storing and transporting the film, it is necessary to wind the film into a roll. At that time, the wound films may adhere to each other due to blocking. Therefore, blocking resistance that does not cause such problems is also required.

In addition, another example of a field for which improvement is desired is in the field of optical members. In recent years, since optical members have come to be used under harsh conditions, in polyester films used for optical members, expectations are increasing for adhesive resin compositions that can exhibit performance such as solvent resistance before lamination, adhesion to various functional layers used as an upper layer, and stability under high temperature and high humidity. Therefore, a polyisocyanate composition that can be used for these purposes and an adhesive resin composition using the same are desired.

Further, in recent years, a curing agent in a two-component coating composition is also required to have high solvent resistance from the viewpoint of high functionality. PTL 5 provides a polyisocyanate composition having an increased number of functional groups of isocyanate in order to further promote cross-linking of the coating composition. On the other hand, in the case of a two-component coating composition, it is desirable that the two-component composition have a long usability time as a coating material after being blended. In the above coating composition, the solvent resistance tends to be excellent when the cross-linking of the coating film is increased, but there is a concern that the available time of the coating material is shortened when the number of functional groups is increased.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION Technical Problem

By using the techniques described in PTLs 3 and 4, it is possible to obtain a film having good stretchability. However, a decorative film having both solvent resistance and blocking resistance in addition to high stretchability has not been studied. Further, in the field of optical members, there is a demand for a polyisocyanate composition capable of exhibiting performance such as solvent resistance before lamination when made into an adhesive resin-cured product, adhesion to various functional layers used as an upper layer, and stability under high temperature and high humidity. Further, from the viewpoint of enhancing the functionality of the two-component coating composition, a polyisocyanate composition capable of achieving both higher solvent resistance of the coating film and longer available time of the coating material is desired.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a polyisocyanate composition having excellent blocking resistance and solvent resistance while maintaining good stretchability of a film when used as a film-forming composition; having excellent solvent resistance before lamination, adhesion to various functional layers used as an upper layer, and stability under high temperature and high humidity when used as an adhesive resin composition; and capable of achieving both solvent resistance of a coating film and usability time of a coating film when used as a coating composition, and a film-forming composition, a film, a film laminate, an adhesive resin composition and an adhesive resin-cured product, a coating composition, and a coating material-cured product using the polyisocyanate composition.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention (hereinafter, simply referred to as “the present embodiment”) will be described in detail. The following embodiments are examples for explaining the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention to the following embodiments. The present invention can be appropriately modified and implemented within the scope of the gist thereof.

As used herein, the term “polyisocyanate” means a polymer in which a plurality of monomers having one or more isocyanate groups (—NCO) are bonded.

Further, as used herein, the term “polyol” means a compound having two or more hydroxyl groups (—OH).

Unless otherwise specified, “(metha) acrylic” includes methacrylic and acrylic.

<<Polyisocyanate Composition>>

The polyisocyanate composition of the present embodiment has at least one isocyanate compound selected from the group consisting of an aliphatic isocyanate and an alicyclic isocyanate as a skeleton.

The average value of the total number of isocyanate groups blocked with a blocking agent and not blocked with a blocking agent per polyisocyanate molecule in the polyisocyanate composition (hereinafter, may be abbreviated as “total average number of isocyanate groups”) is 2 or more. The lower limit of the total average number of isocyanate groups is 2, preferably 2.3, more preferably 3, even more preferably 3.4, and particularly preferably 4.5. On the other hand, although the upper limit of the total average number of isocyanate groups is not particularly limited, it is preferably 20, more preferably 15, even more preferably 10, and particularly preferably 8. That is, the total average number of isocyanate groups is 2 or more, preferably 2 or more and 20 or less, more preferably 2.3 or more and 15 or less, even more preferably 3 or more and 10 or less, particularly preferably 3.4 or more and 10 or less, and most preferably 4.5 or more and 8 or less.

When the total average number of isocyanate groups is at least the above lower limit, the crosslinkability can be further improved, and a film having excellent blocking resistance and solvent resistance can be obtained. On the other hand, when the total average number of isocyanate groups is not more than the above upper limit, excessive cross-linking can be suppressed more effectively and good stretchability of the obtained film can be maintained.

The total average number of isocyanate groups can be calculated by the following formula. In the following formula, “Mn” is the number-average molecular weight of the polyisocyanate composition measured after dissociating the blocking agent by heating or the like. The “NCO content” is the content of isocyanate groups present in the total mass of the polyisocyanate composition measured after dissociating the blocking agent by heating or the like. Also, in order to convert the NCO content from a percentage to a decimal, the NCO content is multiplied by “0.01”. “42” is the formula amount of isocyanate.


Total average number of isocyanate groups (total average number of NCO)=(Mn×NCO content×0.01)/42

The number-average molecular weight (Mn) can be calculated, for example, by performing gel permeation chromatography (GPC) measurement on the polyisocyanate composition. The NCO content can be calculated by a titration method using, for example, a polyisocyanate composition in which the blocking agent is dissociated by heating or the like as a sample. Specifically, it can be calculated by using the method shown in the Examples described later.

Alternatively, the total average number of isocyanate groups can be calculated by performing 13C-NMR measurement using the polyisocyanate composition as a sample.

Examples of the polyisocyanates having a total average number of isocyanate groups within the above range include isocyanurate-type polyisocyanates formed by trimerizing diisocyanates, biuret-type polyisocyanates formed by a reaction of three molecules of isocyanate groups with one molecule of water, and allophanate-type polyisocyanates formed by a reaction of two molecules of isocyanate groups with one molecule of a hydroxyl group of alcohol. Among them, isocyanurate-type polyisocyanate is preferable as the polyisocyanate in which the total average number of isocyanate groups is within the above range from the viewpoint of weather resistance.

The proportion of isocyanate groups blocked with a blocking agent (hereinafter, may be referred to as “blocking rate”) in the polyisocyanate composition is 1 mol % or more and 99 mol % or less.

When the polyisocyanate composition is used for a film-forming composition, the blocking rate is preferably 10 mol % or more and 90 mol % or less, more preferably 30 mol % or more and 90 mol % or less, even more preferably 50 mol % or more and 80 mol % or less, and particularly preferably 50 mol % or more and 80 mol % or less.

When the blocking rate is at least the above lower limit, good stretchability of the obtained film can be maintained. On the other hand, when the blocking rate is not more than the above upper limit, the handling property of the obtained film at room temperature, that is, the blocking resistance at room temperature can be improved.

On the other hand, when the polyisocyanate composition is used for the adhesive resin composition, the blocking rate is preferably 10 mol % or more and 90 mol % or less, more preferably 20 mol % or more and 80 mol % or less, even more preferably 30 mol % or more and 70 mol % or less, and particularly preferably 40 mol % or more and 60 mol % or less.

When the blocking rate is at least the above lower limit, the adhesion to various functional layers used as an upper layer of the obtained adhesive resin-cured product (hereinafter, may be abbreviated as “adhesion to the upper layer”) and the stability under high temperature and high humidity, for example, at 80° C. and 95% RH, can be improved. On the other hand, when the blocking rate is not more than the above upper limit, the solvent resistance before the various functional layers are laminated on the upper layer of the obtained adhesive resin-cured product (hereinafter, may be abbreviated as “solvent resistance before lamination”) can be made better.

On the other hand, when the polyisocyanate composition is used in a coating composition, the blocking rate is preferably 10 mol % or more and 90 mol % or less, more preferably 20 mol % or more and 85 mol % or less, and even more preferably 30 mol % or more and 75 mol % or less. When the blocking rate is within the above range, the solvent resistance and the low-temperature drying property of the obtained coating material-cured product can be improved, and the pot life of the coating material can be made longer. The blocking rate can be measured by using the method shown in the Examples described later.

The blocking rate can be calculated using, for example, a titration method or a method shown in the Examples described later. Specifically, the blocking rate can be calculated from the following equation.


Blocking rate=Molar amount of blocking agent/Molar amount of isocyanate group

The “molar amount of isocyanate group” in the above formula is the molar amount of isocyanate group per mass of the polyisocyanate composition after the blocking agent is dissociated by heat treatment, and can be quantified by the following equation using the NCO content. Here, in order to convert the NCO content from a percentage to a decimal, the NCO content is multiplied by “0.01”. “42” is the formula amount of isocyanate.


Molar amount of isocyanate group=(NCO content×0.01)/42

Further, the “molar amount of blocking agent” in the above equation can be quantified by trapping the blocking agent at the time of dissociation of the blocking agent and measuring the molar amount of the blocking agent by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Since the polyisocyanate composition of the present embodiment has the above-described configuration, it is possible to provide a polyisocyanate composition having excellent blocking resistance and solvent resistance while maintaining good stretchability of a film when used as a film-forming composition; having excellent solvent resistance before lamination, adhesion to various functional layers used as an upper layer, and stability under high temperature and high humidity when used as an adhesive resin composition; and capable of achieving both solvent resistance of a coating film and available time of a coating film when used as a coating composition.

Each of the components contained in the polyisocyanate composition of the present embodiment will be described in detail below.

The polyisocyanate composition contains a blocked polyisocyanate derived from a polyisocyanate and a blocking agent. The blocked polyisocyanate is configured by blocking some or all of the isocyanate groups in one molecule of the blocked polyisocyanate with a blocking agent. Hereinafter, the blocked polyisocyanate in which some of the isocyanate groups in one molecule of the blocked polyisocyanate are blocked with a blocking agent is referred to as a “partially blocked polyisocyanate”. Further, the blocked polyisocyanate in which all of the isocyanate groups in one molecule of the blocked polyisocyanate are blocked with a blocking agent is referred to as “completely blocked polyisocyanate”.

Further, the polyisocyanate composition may contain an unblocked polyisocyanate (hereinafter, may be referred to as “unblocked polyisocyanate”) in addition to the blocked polyisocyanate.

When the polyisocyanate composition contains only a blocked polyisocyanate, the blocking rate can be controlled within the above-described range by using the partially blocked polyisocyanate alone or using the partially blocked polyisocyanate and the completely blocked polyisocyanate in combination and adjusting the mixing ratio. On the other hand, when the polyisocyanate composition contains a blocked polyisocyanate and an unblocked polyisocyanate, the blocking rate can be controlled within the above-described range by adjusting the mixing ratio of the partially blocked polyisocyanate or completely blocked polyisocyanate to the unblocked polyisocyanate.

<Method of Use of Primary Cured Film F1>

As described above, the primary cured film of the present embodiment is used by being attached to the surface of a preformed base material, or by being attached to the surface at the same time as molding an article by a known molding method. Then, the molded product to which the primary cured film is attached is further heated to cure the attached primary cured film, whereby a molded product protected by the film having high solvent resistance can be obtained.

In both cases, the film may be attached to the surface of the base material by using a known attachment method. Specific examples of the former include vacuum molding, air-compressed molding, vacuum/air-compressed molding, laminating and the like. Specific examples of the latter include in-mold forming, film insert molding and the like.

Among the methods, vacuum/air-compressed molding, in-mold forming, and film insert molding, which require particularly high stretchability, are preferable, and if a base material is preformed, vacuum/air-compressed molding where a film can be attached regardless of the material is more preferable.

The method of attaching the primary cured film is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of the film's followability to the molded product, it is preferable to attach the primary cured film so as to follow the molded product while heating it at 50° C. or higher and 140° C. or lower. When the heating temperature is not lower than the lower limit, the film can be more closely followed and attached to the molded product. Further, when the heating temperature is higher than the upper limit, dissociation of the isocyanate group blocked with a blocking agent contained in the primary cured film can be prevented.

It is desirable that the heating temperature for further curing the attached primary cured film be 50° C. or higher and 180° C. or lower. The heating temperature is preferably 50° C. or higher and 170° C. or lower, more preferably 50° C. or higher and 160° C. or lower, and particularly preferably 100° C. or higher and 150° C. or lower. When the heating temperature is in the above range, the isocyanate group blocked with a blocking agent is dissociated, a crosslink is formed by the reaction with the active hydrogen group, and a film having high solvent resistance is obtained.

<<Primary Cured Film F1′ and Secondary Cured Film F2′>>

The primary cured film of the present embodiment contains a crosslinked structure and a curable functional group A. By having a crosslinked structure, it is possible to have the strength of a self-supporting film, and exhibit the handleability of the film, namely, the blocking resistance. Furthermore, since the functional group A is contained, the primary cured film can be cured after the film is attached, and even if the crosslinking density is lowered to such an extent that the stretchability at the time of film attachment is sufficiently exhibited, weather resistance and solvent resistance of the final film can be ensured.

As described above, the primary cured film F1′ in the present embodiment is obtained by coating a film-forming composition to a substrate or the like, applying an external stimulus, and then curing the film. At this time, by holding the reactive functional groups contained in a state in which some of them remain, the stretchability at the time of film-attaching can be sufficiently exhibited. Then, by applying an external stimulus to the primary cured film, the reactive functional groups remaining in the primary cured film further promote the curing, and a secondary cured film is obtained.

Similarly, the curable functional group A contained in the primary cured film is not particularly limited as long as a functional group necessary for the known curing reaction is contained. Therefore, the functional group A may be a single functional group, and may also be a combination of a plurality of functional groups if necessary. Specific examples of the functional group in which the curing reaction proceeds even if it is a single group include a vinyl group, a (metha) acrylic group, a silanol group and the like. Among the examples, a (metha) acrylic group is preferable.

Among the combinations, the combination of “active hydrogen group and isocyanate group” is preferable.

In addition, the crosslinked structure contained in the primary cured film and the crosslinked structure formed by the functional group A may be the same or different.

In addition, the compound having a curable functional group A may be a compound having no reactive functional group as long as it has reactivity when an external stimulus described later is applied. The compound is also not particularly limited, and examples thereof include acid anhydrides, blocked isocyanate compounds and the like.

The crosslinked structure is formed at room temperature or by applying some external stimulus. Specific types of external stimuli include heating, activation energy ray irradiation, moisture, vibration, electric field, magnetic field, pressure, pH change and the like. For the formation of the crosslinked structure contained in the primary cured film, heating, activation energy ray irradiation, and moisture are preferable, heating and active energy ray irradiation are more preferable, and heating is even more preferable, from the viewpoint of versatility and productivity of the process equipment.

Further, for the formation of the crosslinked structure by the functional group A, it is desirable that the crosslinked formation not start in the state where the film is stored from the viewpoint of using method. Further, from the viewpoint of forming a crosslink after being attached to the structure, in order to efficiently form a crosslinked structure, heating and irradiation with active energy rays are preferable.

The secondary cured film is obtained by reacting the curable functional group A contained in the primary cured film.

By the reaction of the functional group A, the crosslink density of the film is improved, and weather resistance and solvent resistance are exhibited.

Hereinafter, the method of forming the coating layer will be described by taking as an example the case of producing an easy-adhesion-treated polyester film.

The adhesive resin composition of the present embodiment is used as a cross-linking agent component for an easy-adhesion-treated layer (namely, an adhesive layer preformed on the film substrate for adhesion to the adherend) applied to the surface of the polyester film in order to improve the adhesion between the polyester film and various adherends. For example, when used for an easy-adhesion-treated polyester film, the easy-adhesion-treated layer is mainly formed by the following two methods. The first method is an in-line coating method in which the polyester film before the completion of crystal orientation is coated with a coating liquid containing the necessary components, then dried, stretched in at least a uniaxial method, and then heat-treated to complete the orientation of the polyester film. The second method is an offline coating method in which the polyester film is manufactured, then a coating liquid is applied to the film, and then the film is dried. Generally, the in-line coating method is preferable from the viewpoint of production efficiency in which a coating layer is formed at the same time as polyester film production.

(Method for Producing Easy-Adhesion-Treated Polyester Film)

A method for producing an easy-adhesion-treated polyester film using the adhesive resin composition of the present embodiment as an easy-adhesion-treated layer will be described.

First, the polyester that constitutes the film is melt-extruded into a film, and then cooled and solidified to obtain an unstretched polyester film. A biaxially stretched polyester film can be obtained by stretching this unstretched film at Tg to (Tg+50°) C. in the longitudinal direction so as to be 3 times or more and 5 times or less, and then stretching at Tg to (Tg+50°) C. in the width direction so as to be 3 times or more and 5 times or less, or simultaneously stretching in the longitudinal direction and the width direction, and then performing a heat treatment at 140° C. or higher and 230° C. or lower for 1 second or longer and 60 seconds or lower.

Conventionally, the heat history in the heat treatment process is about 1 minute at 200° C., but from the viewpoint of protecting the global environment and improving productivity, it is desired to lower the temperature of the heat treatment process. Therefore, it is considered to lower the temperature to 150° C. about 1 minute as a heat history. When a conventional adhesive composition is used for the easy-adhesion-treated layer, the initial adhesion and the adhesion after the moisture and heat resistance test may decrease. Therefore, there is a strong demand for an adhesive composition capable of exhibiting initial adhesion and adhesion after the moisture and heat resistance test even in a low-temperature heat treatment step. In order to exhibit adhesion in a heat treatment step of about 1 minute at 150° C., it is preferable that crosslinks be formed at a temperature lower than that of blocked polyisocyanate. Specifically, a crosslinking agent capable of crosslinking at 60° C. or lower (the crosslinking reaction is started at 60° C. or lower) is preferable.

The formation of the easy-adhesion-treated polyester film by applying the adhesive resin composition of the present embodiment can be carried out at any stage, and it is preferable that the coating liquid be applied before stretching or after uniaxial stretching, then dried, stretched at least in the uniaxial direction, and then heat-treated to complete the coating.

Further, the coating liquid may be applied to only one side, and there is no particular problem even if it is applied to both sides.

[Physical Property 2] Number-Average Molecular Weight

The number-average molecular weight is a polystyrene-based number-average molecular weight measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) using the following apparatus. A polyisocyanate composition was used as a sample. The measurement conditions are shown below.

(Measurement Condition)

Column: Manufactured by Tosoh Corporation, G1000HXL×1

    • G2000HXL×1
    • G3000HXL×1

Carrier: Tetrahydrofuran

Detection method: Differential refractometer

[Physical Property 3] Isocyanate Group (NCO) Content

The isocyanate group (NCO) content was determined using the following method. When the polyisocyanate composition contains a blocked polyisocyanate, the blocking agent was dissociated by heating or the like and then used as a measurement sample.

First, 2 g or more and 3 g or less of the polyisocyanate composition were precisely weighed in a flask (Wg). Then, 20 mL of toluene was added to dissolve the polyisocyanate composition after dissociation of the blocking agent. Then, 20 mL of a toluene solution of 2N di-n-butylamine was added, and after mixing, the mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. Then 70 mL of isopropyl alcohol was added and mixed. This solution was then titrated into an indicator with a 1N hydrochloric acid solution (Factor F). The obtained titration value was denoted by V2 mL. Then, the same operation was carried out without the polyisocyanate composition, and the obtained titration value was denoted by V1 m1. Next, the isocyanate group (NCO) content X1 (mass %) of the polyisocyanate composition after dissociation of the blocking agent was calculated from the following equation.


Isocyanate group(NCO)content X1(mass %)=(V1-V2)×42/(1000)×100

[Physical Property 4] Total Average Number of Isocyanate Groups

The total average number of isocyanate groups (total average number of NCO) was calculated by the following equation. In the following equation, “Mn” is the number-average molecular weight of the polyisocyanate composition measured after dissociating the blocking agent by heating or the like when the polyisocyanate composition contains a blocked polyisocyanate. The “NCO content” is the content of isocyanate groups present in the total mass of the polyisocyanate composition measured after dissociating the blocking agent by heating or the like when the polyisocyanate composition contains a blocked polyisocyanate, and X1 (mass %) calculated in the above “Physical property 3” was used. In addition, in order to convert the NCO content from a percentage to a decimal, the NCO content was multiplied by “0.01”. “42” is the formula weight of isocyanate.


Total average number of NCO=(Mn×NCO content(X1)×0.01)/42

[Physical Property 5] Blocking Rate

The blocking rate in the polyisocyanate composition and the film-forming composition was calculated by the following equation.


Blocking rate=molar amount of blocking agent/molar amount of isocyanate group

The “molar amount of isocyanate group” in the above equation is the molar amount of the isocyanate group per mass of the polyisocyanate composition after the blocking agent is dissociated by heat treatment, and was quantified by the following equation using the NCO content calculation in the above “Physical property 3”. Here, in order to convert the NCO content from a percentage to a decimal, the NCO content (X1) was multiplied by “0.01”. “42” is the formula weight of isocyanate.


Molar amount of isocyanate group=(X1×0.01)/42

Further, the “molar amount of blocking agent” in the above equation was quantified by trapping the blocking agent at the time of dissociation of the blocking agent and measuring the molar amount of the blocking agent by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Further, among Coating Compositions C-a1, and C-a4, C-a5, C-a6 (Examples 3-2-1, and 3-2-4, 3-2-5, 3-2-6), in the coating compositions containing the polyisocyanate compositions having a relatively high blocking rate, there was a tendency in which the pot life of the coating material was high, and in Coating Compositions C-a3 and C-a7, C-a8, C-a9, C-a10, C-all, C-a12 (Example 3-2-3 and 3-2-7, 3-2-8, 3-2-9, 3-2-10, 3-2-11, 3-2-12) containing the polyisocyanate composition having a relatively low blocking rate, there was a tendency in which the low-temperature drying property of the coating composition was improved.

Further, among the coating compositions C-a2 and C-a3, C-a6, C-a7, C-a10, C-all (Examples 3-2-2 and 3-2-3, 3-2-6, 3-2-7, 3-2-10, 3-2-11), in the coating compositions containing the polyisocyanate compositions having a middle to relatively low content of the partially blocked polyisocyanates, there was tendency in which the solvent resistance of the obtained coating material-cured product is excellent.

Further, among Coating Compositions C-a7 and C-a12 (Examples 3-2-7 and 3-2-12), in Coating Composition C-a7 (Example 3-2-7), containing the polyisocyanate composition having the same blocking rate but a high proportion of the partially blocked polyisocyanate, there was a tendency that the pot life of the coating material was high.

On the other hand, the coating material-cured products using Coating Compositions C-b1 to C-b3 (Comparative Examples 3-4-1 to 3-4-3) did not show excellent low-temperature drying property of the coating film, solvent resistance of the coating film and the pot life of the coating material simultaneously.
