ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
An improved silicone resin coating composition is provided, the composition comprising a dispersion of colloidal silica in an aliphatic alcohol-water solution of the partial condensate of a silanol with a small amount of a polysiloxane polyether copolymer added thereto.

Description

llS9g78 60 SI 230 1 Back~round of the_Invention 3 This invention relates to an improved protective coat~
4 ing composition. More particula~ly, it relates to a silicone 5 resin coating composition which, when applied to a substrate~ ¦
6 forms a protective abrasion-resistant coating thereon.

8 ~ecently, the substitution of glass glazing with trans-9 parent materials which do not shatter or are more resis~ant to shattering than glass, has become widespread. For example, I
11 transparent glazing made from synthetic organic polymers is now j 12 utilized in public transportation vehicles, such as trains, 13 buses, taxis and airplanes. Lenses, such as for eyeglasses and 14 other optical instruments, as well as glazing for large build-ings, also employ shatter-resistant transparent plastics. The 16 ~ lighter weight of these plastics in comparison to glass is a 17 further advantage, especially in the transportation industry 18 ~ where the weight of the vehicle is a major factor in its fuel 19 l¦ economy.
20 Il`
21 ¦~ While transparent plastics provide the major advantage 22 ji of being more resistant to shattering than glass, a serious 23 j drawback lies in the ease with which these plastics mar and 24 I scratch, due to everyday contact with abrasives, such as dust, i cleaning equipment and ordinary weathering. Continuous scratch-26 , ing and marring results in impaired visibility and poor aes-27 I thetics, and oftentimes requires replacement of the glaæing or
2~ lens or the like.

30 i One of the most promising and widely used transparent l! .
i .

- 1~5~78 60 SI 230 1 plastics for glazin~ is pol~carbonate, such as that known as 2 Lexan~ sold by General Electric Company. It is a tough ma- !
3 1 terial, having high impact strength, high heat deflection tem-
4 , perature, good dimensional stability, as well as being self-
5 extinguishing, and is easily fabricated. '
6 ,
7 `I Attempts have been made to improve the abrasion re-
8 sistance of transparent plastics. ~or example, scratch-resist-
9 , ant coatings formed from mix~ures of silica, such as colIoidal silica or silica gel, and hydrolyzable silanes in a hydrolysis 11 medium, such as alcohol and water, are known. U.S. Patents 12 '' 3,708,225, 3,986,997 and 3,976,497, for example, describe such 13 1 com~ositions.
14 ' , lS ~ Cdn. Appl. S.N. 33~ 539 : entitled "Silicone Resin 16 Coating,Co~position," by Howard A. Vaughn ~iled ~o~n6e~ ~ ~ I
17 ~ , discloses another abrasion-resistant coating com- ¦
18 !I position. This coating composition has been found to be highlyj 19 ~ desirable as a protective finish for plastic, as well as metal 20 ,¦ or m~tallized substrates. A particularly significant area of il 21 !, application for this Vaughn coating is in the glazing and op~

22 jl cal lens industry. Since these areas require a coating of high, 23 i optical clarity, coatings which show flowmarks, dirtmarks or 24 ¦ other marks which may impair visibility are undesirable. It ¦ has been surprisingly discovered herein that the addition of a 26 smaLl amount of a polysiloxane polyether copolymer to the coat-27 ing compositions disclosed in the afore-mentioned Vaughn appli-28 cation eliminates the occurrence of the undesirable flowmarks 29 ¦l and ~he like, as well as providing other improvements in the 30 hard coating which-will be discussed in detail hereinafter.

1 . Summary of the Invention 2~
3 !~ Accordingly, it is one object of the present invention ¦
4 1 to provide an improved silicone resin coating composition for i solid substrates.
6 l, `
7 1 Another object of this invention is to provide a sili- '~
8 . cone resin coating composition for solid substrates which, when `
9 applied, provid~san abrasion resistant surfàce thereto .
lo ll Still another object of this invention is to provide a ' 12 l~ silicone resin coating composition which is especially well 13 iii suited for transparent plastics.

14 ~
15 ,. A further object of this invention is to provide a sil- ¦
16 j icone resin coating composition which, when applied to a trans-17 , parent plastic, does not impair the optical clarity thereof, 18 ~, 19 ~¦ A still further object of this invention is to provide 20 ¦l a silicone resin coating composition which, when applied to a 21 ,I solid substrate, not only provides an abrasion resistant coating 22 j thereto but also provides a coating with increased resistance 23 1l t~ stress cracking.

These and other objects are accomplished herein by an 26 ~ improved coating composition comprising a dispersion of col- !
27 ~ loidal silica in an aliphatic alcohol-water solution of the par-28 tial condensate of a silanol of the formula RSi(OH)3, wherein R
29 1~ is selected from the group consisting of alkyl having from l to 3 .30 j carbon atoms and aryl, at least 70 weight percent of the silanol !

l ' being C~3Si(OH)3, said composition containing 10 to 50 weight 2 ,;j percent solids, said solids consisting essentially of 10 to 70 3 1~ weight percent colloidal silica and 30 to 90 weight percent of 4 i, the partial condensate, said composition having a pH of from 5 ! 7.1 to about 7.8, the improvement comprising the intimate ad-6 ll mixture of a small amcunt of a polysi-loxane polyether copolymer 7 ¦I to said composition.
8 !' g ~, Detailed Descrip~ion of the Inve,.~ion
10 ' , .. .
11 r~ne coa~in~ compositions of this invention are pre- j
12 !, pared by hydrolyzing an alkyltrialkoxysilane or aryltrialkoxy-
13 ~, silane of the formula RSi(OR)3, wherein R is alkyl of from 1 to
14 l 3 carbons or aryl, such as phenyl, in an aqueous dispersion of
15 il colloidal silica, and intimately admixing a polysiloxane poly-
16 ~ ether copolymer with the resultant reaction product.
17
18 ¦1 In the practice of the present invention, suitable l9 ¦ aqueous colloidal silica dispersions generally have a particle 20 1 size of from 5 ~o 150 m;llimicrons in diameter. These silica 21 ¦ dispersions are well known in the art and commercially available 22 1 ones incl~de, for example, those sold under the trademarks of 23 1I Ludox (duPont) and Nalcoag (NALCO Chemical Co.). Such col-24 loidal silicas are available as both acidic and basic hydro-sols. For the purposes of this invention, wherein the pH of 26 the coating compositions is on the basic side, basic colloidal 27 silica sols are preferred. However, acidic colloidal silicas, 28 wherein the pH is adjusted to a basic level, are also contem-29 ¦~ plated. In addition, it has been found that colloidal silicas 30 l having a low alkali content (e.g., Na2O) yield a more stable !l !

11~9 ~7 ~ 60SI 230 1 , coating composi~ion Thus, colloidal silica having an alkali 2 ' content o~ less than 0.35% ~calculated as Na2O) are preferred.
3 l, ~Ioreover, colloidal silicas having average particle size of 4 1 from 10 to 30 millimicrons are also preferred. A particularly ¦
; pref.erred one for the purposes herein is known as Ludox LS, sold 6 ' by duPont Company.

! ! .
8 i In accordance with this invention, the aqueous col-9 1~ loidal silica dispersion is added to a solution of a small amount of alkyltriacetoxysilane in alkyltrialkoxysilane or 11 j aryltrialkoxysilane. The temperature of the reaction mixture 12 ~ is maintained at about 20C to about`40C and preferably below 13 jl 25C. It has been found that in about six to eight hours suf- ¦
14 ~. ficient trialkoxysilane has reacted to reduce the initial two- ¦
15 ! phase liquid mixture to one liquid phase in which the now 16 , treated silica (i.e., treated by admixture with the trialkoxy-17 , silane) is dispersed. In general, the hydrolysis reaction is 18 ,! allowed to continue for a total of about 24 hours to 48 hours,
19 ¦I depending upon the desired viscosity of the final product. The
20 ¦, more time the hydrolysis reaction is permitted to continue, the
21 I higher will be the viscosity o~ the product. After hydrolysis
22 1 has been completed, the solids content is adJusted by the addi-
23 1 tion of alcohol, preferably isobutanol, to the reaction mixture.
24 ! Other suitable alcohols for this purpose include lower aliphatic I alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, n-26 ! butyl alcohol and t-butyl alcohol. Mixtures of such alcohols 27 , can be used, too. The solvent system should contain from about 28 20 to 75 weight percent alcohol to ensure solubility of the par-2g !! tial condensatP (siloxanol). Opticnally, additional wc~ter-miscible 30 " polar solvents, such as acetone, butylcellosolve and the like in , . .
,; .

il5~9 7~3 60SI 230 i 1 minor amounts, like no more than 20 weight percent of the cosol-2 ~ vent system, can also be employed. The solids content of the 3 !! coatin~ composition of this invention is generally preferred to 4 '~ be in the range of from about 18 to 25%, most preferably about 20%, by weight of the total composition. The pH of the resul-6 " tant coating composition is in the range of from about 7.1 to 7 jl about 7.8, preferably higher than 7.2. If necessary, dilute 8 1` base, such as ammonium hydroxide, or weak acid, such as acetic 9 , acid, may be added to the composition to adjust the final pH to this desirad range.
11 '. , 12 It has been found herein that it is advantageous to in-13 ', clude a polysiloxane polyether copolymer in the coating composi-14 j tion. This polysiloxane polyether copolymer may be added to ' the composition after the hydrolysis is completed. Preferably, i 16 however, it is added to the composition after the initial solids 17 content has been diluted with alcohol. The polysiloxane poly-18 l ether copolymer acts as a flow control agent and thereby preven~s 19 !I flowm~rks, dirtmarks, and the like, on the surfacP of the sub-20 1I strate to which the coating is subsequently applied. For the 21 ij purposes of this invention, the polysiloxane polyether copolymer 22 !1 is empioyed in an aMOunt of from about 2.5 to about 15% by weight 23 11 of the total solids of the composition. Most advantageous re-24 ! sults are achieved when the copolymer is utilized at about 4% by ¦ wei~ht of the total solids. At these amounts, the polysiloxane 26 ! polyether copolymer prevents marks on the substrate which impair 27 ¦ visibility or are aesthetically detracting and has no significant 28 deleterious effects on the otherwise good abrasion resistance, 29 iI scribed adhesion, ultraviolet light resistance, moisture and j humidity resistance of the coating. Moreover, the presence of 31 l' the polysiloxane polyether copolymer additive has been found to 3~ reduce the incidence of stress cracking in the hard coating.

il~9~78 605I 230 1 Al~hough ~he polysiloxane polyether copolymer slightly 2 raixes the viscosity of the coating composition, it does not ac-3 celerate the rate of viscosity increase with age of the composi-4 tion, nor does it shorten the shelf-life of the composition.
S The polysiloxane polyether copolymer is completely compatible 6 wittn the alcohol-water cosolvent system of the compositions here-¦
7 in and becomes a permanent part of the cured coating, not re-8 moved by washing, even with soap and water. , 9 More specifically, some of the polysiloxane polyether copolymers useful in t~e practice of the invention herein are 11li~uid organopolysiloxane copolymers having the formula: : i l60(R2SIO)a~2SicbH2bcO(cn~;2~0)X~

18 , The alkyltriacetoxysilane is used to buffer the basicity¦
19 ll of the initial two liquid phase reaction mixture and thereby also ii temper thé hydrolysis rate. While the use of alkyltriacetoxy-21 " silane is preferred herein, glacial acetic acid may be used in 2~ j' its place, as well as other acids such as organic acids like pro-23 .l pionic, butyric, citric, benzoic, formic, oxalic, and the like.
24 ¦ Alkyltriacetoxysilanes wherein the alkyl group contains from 1-6 2S ¦ carbon atoms can be used, alkyl groups having from 1 to 3 carbon 26 atoms being preferred. I~ethyltriacetoxysilane is most pre-27 ferred.

1 trialkoxysilanes with the aqueous medium, i.e., the aqueous dis-2 pers:ion of colloidal silica. Exemplary trialkoxysilanes are 3 those containing methoxy, ethoxy, isopropoxy and n-butoxy sub- i 4 stituents which upon hydrolysis generate the silanetriols and further liberate the corresponding alcohol. In this way, at 6 least a portion of the alcohol content present in the final 7 . coating composition is provided. Upon the generation of the 8 hydroxyl substituents to form - Si- O -Si- bonding occurs.
9 This condensation takes place over a period of time and is not - exhaustive but rather the siloxane retains an appreciable 11 ~uantity of sillcon-bonded hydroxyl groups which render the poly-12 mer soluble in the alcohol-water cosolvent. This soluble par- !, 13 tial condensate can be characterized as a siloxanol polymer hav- !
14 ing at least one silicon-bonded hydroxyl group per every three - SiO- units.

17 The non-vol~ile solid~ portion of the coating compo-18 si~ion herein is a mixture of colloidal silica and the partial 19 I condensate (or siloxanol) of a s~lanol. The major portion or I all of the partial condensate or siloxanol is obtained from the 21 ~ condensation of CH3Si(OH)3 and, depending upon the input of in-22 j gredients to the hydrolysis reaction, minor portions of partial 23 condensate can be obtained, for example, from the condensation 24 ,! of CH3Si~OH)3 with C2HsSi(OH)3 or C3H7Si(OH)3; CH3Si(OH)3 25 1I with C6HsSi(OH)3, or even mixtures of the foregoing. For opti-2~ j~ mum results in the cured coatin~ it is preferred to use all 27 il methyltrimethoxysilane (thus generating all monomethylsilane-28 ; tr.i~l) in preparing the coating compositions herein, In the 29 , preferred coating compositions herein the partial condenqate i8 ~ present in an amount of from about 55 to 75 weight percent of ii~9978 1 the total solids in a cosolvent of alcohol and water, the alco- ' 2 hol comprising from about 50% to 95% by weight of the cosolvent. ' 3 .
4 The coating compositions of this invention will cure on a substrate at teTIl?eratures of, for ~ al-iple, 120~C without 6 the aid of an added curing catalyst. However, in order to em- !
7 ploy more desirable milder curing conditions, buffered latent 8 condensation catalysts can be added. Included in this class 9 o~ catalysts are alkali metal salts of carboxylic acids, such as sodium acetate, potassium formate and the like. Amine car- , 11 boxylates, such as dimethylamine acetate, ethanolamine acetate, 12 dimethylaniline formate and the like, quaternary amn~nium car-13 boxylates such as tetramethylammonium acetate~benzyltr~methyl-14 ar~monium acetate, metal carboxylates, like tîn octoate and 1, amines such as triethylamine, triethanolamine, pyridine and the !
16 ; like are also conte~plated curing catalysts herein. Alkali 17 hydroxides, like sodium hydroxide and am~onium hydroxide can 18 1 also be used as curing catalysts herein. Moreover, typical 19 ;¦ commercially available colloidal silica, especially those hav-20 1l ing a basic pH, contain free alkali metal base and alkali metal ~1 I carboxylate catalysts will be generated in situ during ~he hy-22 drolysis reaction herein.
23 ' The amount of curing catalyst can be varied within a 24 i! wide range, depending upon the desired curing conditions.
¦ However, in general, catalyst in the amounts of ~from about 0.05 2~ 1I to about 0.5 weight percent, preferably about 0.1 weight per- I
27 ,¦ cent, of the composition can be used. Compositions containing ¦
28 I catalysts in these amounts can be cured on a solid substrate in 29 1! a relatively short time at temperatures in the range of from about 75-~150~ to provide a transparent abrasion resistant sur-face coating.

1~599~3 60SI 230 l The coating compositions of the present invention can 2 be applied to a variety of solid substrates by conventional 3 ' methods, such as flowing or dipping, to form a continuous sur- !
4 face film. Substrates which are especially contemplated herein are transparent and non-transparent plastics and metals. More 6 ; particularly, these plastics are synthetic organic polymeric 7 substrates such as acrylic polymers, like poly(methylmethacry- ¦
8 ; late), polyesters, such as poly(ethylene terephthalate), poly-9 (butylene terephthalate), etc., polyamides, polyimides, acrylo-nitrile-styrene copolymers, st~rene-acrylonitrile-butadiene co-11 polymers, polyvinyl chloride, butyrates, polyethylene and the 12 , like. As noted above, the coating compositions of this inven-13 , tion are especially useful as coatings for polycarbonates, such 14 as those polycarbonates known as Lexan , sold by General Elec-' tric Company. The metal substrates on which the present pro-16 tective coatings are utilized include bright and dull metals like aluminum and bright metallized surfaces like sputtered 18 chromium alloy. Other solid substrates contemplated herein in-19 ji clude wood, painted surfaces, leather, glass, ceramics and tex-~i tiles.
21 Ij 22 1l ~y choice of the proper formulation, application condi-23 1! tions and pretreatment, including the use of primers, of the ~4 ¦ substrate, the coatings can be adhered to substantially all solid substrates. A hard coating having all of the afore-men-26 tioned characteristics and advantages is obtained by the removal 27 I of the solvent and volatile materials. The coating composition 28 I will air-dry to a tack-free condition, but heating in the range 29 1 o 75C to 200C is necessary to obtain condensation of residual I
~ silanols in the partial condensate. This final cure results in !

33 ~ B

1 the formation of silsesquioxane (RSiO3~2). In the finished 2 cured coating the ratio of RSiO3/ units to SiO2 will range from 3 about 0.43 to about 9.0, preferably 1 to 3. A cured coating 4 ! having a ratio of RSiO3~2 to SiO2, when R is methyl, of 2 is most preferred. The coating thickness can be ~aried by means 6 of the particular application technique, but coatings of about 7 , 0~5 to 20 microns, preferably 2-10 micron thickness are generally 8 utilized.
