Abstract

Provided herein is a method of forming a multilayer coating film including coating, onto an object to be coated, a water-based primer coating composition, wet-on-wet coating a first water-based coloring coating composition, wet-on-wet coating a second water-based coloring coating composition, coating a clear coating composition, and simultaneous hardening of the formed multilayer coating film. The water-based primer coating composition contains a water-based polyolefin resin, a water-based polyurethane resin, a curing agent, and conductive carbon. The first and second water-based coloring coating compositions, each, as base resins, contain a core/shell-type emulsion including an acrylic resin core portion and a polyurethane resin shell portion. The clear coating composition contains a hydroxy-group-containing acrylic resin and a polyisocyanate compound.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method of forming a multilayer coating film, the method comprising:
a step of coating, onto an object to be coated, a water-based primer coating composition;
a step of wet-on-wet coating a first water-based coloring coating composition;
a step of wet-on-wet coating a second water-based coloring coating composition;
a step of coating a clear coating composition; and
a step of simultaneous hardening of the multilayer coating film, wherein:
(1) the water-based primer coating composition contains components:
(A) a water-based polyolefin resin with a melting point of 60-100° C. and a weight average molecular weight in the range of 50,000-250,000,
(B) a water-based polyurethane resin having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of −100 to −70° C. and an elongation rate of 500% or more at −20° C.,
(C) a curing agent, and
(D) conductive carbon,

(2) the first water-based coloring coating composition and second water-based coloring coating composition each contain a core/shell emulsion comprising an acrylic resin core portion and a polyurethane resin shell portion as base resins, and
(3) the clear coating composition contains a hydroxy-group-containing acrylic resin and a polyisocyanate compound.

2. The method of forming a multilayer coating film of claim 1 , wherein the mass ratio of water-based primer coating composition component (A) and component (B) is 20/80-80/20 as solid resin content, the mass ratio of component (C) and [component (A)+component (B)] is 1/100-30/100 as solid content, and the mass ratio of component (D) and [component (A)+component (B)+component (C)] is 2/98-20/80 as solid content.

3. The method of forming a multilayer coating film of claim 1 , wherein aqueous primer coating composition component (B) is a colloidal dispersion or emulsion aqueous polyurethane resin.

4. The method of forming a multilayer coating film of claim 1 , wherein aqueous primer coating composition component (B) is an aqueous polyurethane resin obtained by chain elongation using a polyester polyol, a polycarbonate polyol, or a polyurethane obtained by reacting a polyether polyol and a polyisocyanate.

5. The method of forming a multilayer coating film of claim 1 , wherein the mass ratio of the core portion and the shell portion in the core/shell emulsion resin in the first water-based coloring coating composition and second water-based coloring coating composition base resin is between 20/80 and 80/20, the core portion acrylic resin has a hydroxyl group value of 10-85 mg KOH/g and an acid value of 0-30 mg KOH/g, the shell portion polyurethane resin has a hydroxyl group value of 20-80 mg KOH/g and an acid value of 10 to 60 mg KOH/g, and the mass ratio of constituent units based on dibasic acids and/or dihydric alcohols having 10 to 60 carbon atoms in the shell portion polyurethane resin is 10-50 parts by mass relative to the solid resin content of the polyurethane resin taken as 100 parts by mass.

6. The method of forming a multilayer coating film of claim 1 , wherein the first water-based coloring coating composition and the second water-based coloring coating composition are each characterized by having a mass ratio of the core/shell emulsion of 5-80 mass % relative to 100 mass % for the resin solid content in the base resin.

7. The method of forming a multilayer coating film of claim 1 , wherein the first water-based coloring coating composition contains a polyisocyanate compound and/or a polycarbodiimide as a curing agent.

8. The method of forming a multilayer coating film of claim 1 , wherein aqueous primer coating composition component (B) is an aqueous polyurethane resin obtained by chain elongation using a polyester polyol, a polycarbonate polyol, or a polyurethane obtained by reacting a polyether polyol and a polyisocyanate and a low molecular weight compound having at least 2 active hydrogens in 1 molecule.
