Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a matted object capable of achieving both a lower range of glossiness and an antifouling property. A matted object includes a substrate, and a glassy layer provided on the surface of the substrate. The surface of the glassy layer has a 60°-glossiness of 20 or less, a skewness Rsk of −0.5 or more, and a maximum height roughness Rz more than 2.5 μm and less than 5.7 μm, the skewness Rsk and the maximum height roughness Rz being specified in JIS B0601 (2001).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An antifouling matted object comprising:
a substrate; and
a glassy layer provided on a surface of the substrate,
wherein the substrate is ceramic; a surface of the glassy layer has a 60°-glossiness of 20 or less, a skewness Rsk of −0.5 or more and 0.1 or less, and a maximum height roughness Rz more than 2.5 μm and less than 5.7 μm, the skewness Rsk and the maximum height roughness Rz being specified in JIS B0601 (2001); and a ratio (Rc/RSm) of a mean height of roughness profile elements (Rc) to a mean length of roughness profile elements (RSm) is at least 20×10 −3 and not more than 33×10 −3 .

2. The matted object according to claim 1 , wherein the Rz is 3.0 μm or more.

3. The matted object according to claim 1 , wherein the Rz is 4.8 μm or less.

4. The matted object according to claim 2 , wherein the Rz is 4.8 μm or less.

5. The matted object according to claim 2 , wherein a ratio (Rc/RSm) of a mean height of roughness profile elements (Rc) to a mean length of roughness profile elements (RSm) is at least 20×10 −3 and not more than 33×10 −3 .

6. The matted object according to claim 3 , wherein a ratio (Rc/RSm) of a mean height of roughness profile elements (Rc) to a mean length of roughness profile elements (RSm) is at least 20×10 −3 and not more than 33×10 −3 .

7. The matted object according to claim 4 , wherein a ratio (Rc/RSm) of a mean height of roughness profile elements (Rc) to a mean length of roughness profile elements (RSm) is at least 20×10 −3 and not more than 33×10 −3 .

8. The matted object according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio (Rc/RSm) of a mean height of roughness profile elements (Rc) to a mean length of roughness profile elements (RSm) is at least 20×10 −3 and not more than 33×10 −3 .

9. A matted object comprising:
a substrate; and
a glassy layer provided on a surface of the substrate,
wherein a surface of the glassy layer has a 60°-glossiness of 20 or less, a skewness Rsk of −0.5 or more and 0.1 or less, and a maximum height roughness Rz more than 2.5 μm and less than 5.7 μm, the skewness Rsk and the maximum height roughness Rz being specified in JIS B0601 (2001); a ratio (Rc/RSm) of a mean height of roughness profile elements (Rc) to a mean length of roughness profile elements (RSm) is at least 20×10 −3 and not more than 33×10 −3 ; and a dirt removability is 80% or higher, the dirt removability being obtained by the following method:
(1) a* of the sample surface is measured with a color difference meter, and that value is set as a0*; in the measurement of a*, a white mask having a width of 5 mm is attached in the shape of a line to prevent variation in measurement due to blur; and the same applies below as well;
(2) a line having a width of 3 mm is drawn on the sample with a red oil pastel, a* on the line is measured with the color difference meter, and that value is set as a1*;
(3) the line is wiped back and forth 30 times using a commercially available toilet cleaning sheet while applying a load of 25 g/cm 2 perpendicularly to the line;
(4) the color of the oil pastel line on the sample after the repeated wiping is measured with the color difference meter, and that value is set as a2*; and
(5) the dirt removability is calculated from the following equation
Dirt Removability (%)=( a 1 *−a 2*)/( a 1 *−a 0*).
