Description

ACTIVE ENERGY RAY-CURABLE AQUEOUS RESIN COMPOSITION, ACTIVE ENERGY RAY-CURABLE AQUEOUS COATING MATERIAL, AND ARTICLE COATED WITH THE COATING MATERIAL [Technical Field]
The present invention relates to an active energy ray-curable aqueous resin composition, an active energy ray-curable aqueous coating material, and an article coated with the coating material.
[Background Art]
An active energy ray-curable composition is used as a hard coating agent for plastic substrates of home electric appliances, cellular phones, and the like in view of the characteristics of little heat history to coating substrates and excellent hardness and scratch properties of coating films. An example of the active energy ray-curable composition is an active energy ray-curable composition (solvent-type active energy ray-curable composition) containing a polymer having a polymerizable unsaturated double bond, such as acryl acrylate or the like, a polymer not having an unsaturated double bond, such as a polymerizable acrylic resin or the like, a polymerizable monomer, and an organic solvent serving as a diluent. For example, when the active energy ray-curable composition is used as a coating material for spray coating, the coating material is required to contain as large as 50 to 90%by mass of the organic solvent. Therefore, when a cured coating film is formed on a substrate surface such as a plastic or the like by using an active energy ray-curable coating material containing the resin composition, there is a problem  of worsening the working environment due to the volatilization of the organic solvent in the coating material. The volatilized organic solvent also causes atmospheric pollution.
Under the circumstances, a production method is proposed, which includes neutralizing a specific polyurethane acrylate-modified polyacrylate resin by adding an alkali solution, producing an anionic ultraviolet-curable resin (for example, refer to PTL 1) . However, a cured coating film of the resin produced by the production method has unsatisfactory adhesion, warm-water resistance, and chemical resistance.
Therefore, there is required an active energy ray-curable aqueous resin composition which can produce a cured coating film having excellent adhesion, warm-water resistance, and chemical resistance.
