Abstract

The present invention provides a lamp cover comprising (1) a thermoplastic resin having a visible light transmissivity of 50% or higher measured in a form of a plate-like molded body having a thickness of 2 mm according to JIS R 3106, (2) a composite tungsten oxide, (3) at least one material selected from the group consisting of a metal soap, an antioxidant, and a first selective wavelength absorbing material having a maximum absorption wavelength within a range of 200 to 350 nm, whose content is 0.03% by mass or more based on a total content (100% by mass) of the components (1) to (4), and (4) a second selective wavelength absorbing material having a maximum absorption wavelength within a range of 450 to 550 nm.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A lamp cover comprising
(1) a thermoplastic resin having a visible light transmissivity of 50% or higher measured in a form of a plate-like molded body having a thickness of 2 mm according to JIS R 3106,
(2) a composite tungsten oxide,
(3) a first selective wavelength absorbing material having a maximum absorption wavelength within a range of 200 to 350 nm, and
at least one material selected from the group consisting of a metal soap and an antioxidant,
wherein a content of the first selective wavelength absorbing material having a maximum absorption wavelength within a range of 200 to 350 nm, whose content is 0.03 to 0.5% by mass or more based on a total content (100% by mass) of the components (1) to (4),

a content of the metal soap is 0.03 to 0.3% by mass based on the total content (100% by mass) of the components (1) to (4), when the metal soap is contained in the lamp cover, and
a content of the antioxidant is 0.05 to 0.3% by mass based on the total content (100% by mass) of the components (1) to (4), when the antioxidant is contained in the lamp cover, and
(4) a second selective wavelength absorbing material having a maximum absorption wavelength within a range of 450 to 550 nm.

2. The lamp cover according to claim 1 , wherein the composite tungsten oxide is represented by the general formula:
M 1 x W y O z

wherein
M 1 is at least one element selected from the group consisting of H, He, an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, a rare earth element, Mg, Zr, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ru, Co, Rh, Ir, Ni, Pd, Pt, Cu, Ag, Au, Zn, Cd, Al, Ga, In, Tl, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb, Sb, B, F, P, S, Se, Br, Te, Ti, Nb, V, Mo, Ta, Re, Be, Hf, Os, Bi and I,
W is tungsten element,
O is oxygen element, and
x, y and z are numbers satisfying the following formulae:
0.01≤ x≤ 1

0.001≤ x/y≤ 1, and

2.2≤ z/y≤ 3.0.

3. The lamp cover according to claim 2 , wherein M 1 is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba.

4. The lamp cover according to claim 1 , comprising as the component (3) the first selective wavelength absorbing material, the metal soap, and the antioxidant.

5. The lamp cover according to claim 1 , comprising 0.05 to 0.3% by mass of the metal soap based on the total content (100% by mass) of the components (1) to (4).

6. The lamp cover according to claim 1 , comprising 0.05 to 0.3% by mass of the antioxidant based on the total content (100% by mass) of the components (1) to (4), wherein the antioxidant comprises a hindered amine-based antioxidant or a phosphoric acid-based antioxidant.

7. The lamp cover according to claim 1 , having a maximum transmissivity wavelength within a range of 550 to 780 nm.

8. The lamp cover according to claim 1 , wherein the first selective wavelength absorbing material is a benzotriazole-based ultraviolet absorber.

9. The lamp cover according to claim 1 , comprising the metal soap selected from the group consisting of a magnesium salt of lauric acid, myristic acid, pentadecylic acid, palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, margaric acid or stearic acid.

10. The lamp cover according to claim 9 wherein the metal soap is a magnesium salt of stearic acid.

11. A lamp cover comprising
(1) a thermoplastic resin having a visible light transmissivity of 50% or higher measured in a form of a plate-like molded body having a thickness of 2 mm according to JIS R 3106,
(2) a composite tungsten oxide,
(3) at least one material selected from a group consisting of
a metal soap in a content of 0.03 to 0.3% by mass based on the total content (100% by mass) of the components (1) to (4), and
an antioxidant in a content of 0.05 to 0.3% by mass based on the total content (100% by mass) of the components (1) to (4), and

(4) a second selective wavelength absorbing material having a maximum absorption wavelength within a range of 450 to 550 nm.
