Abstract

The invention relates to a highly durable building material and a method for producing the same. The building material prevents the substrate or an intermediate resin layer from being decomposed by photoradicals that may be generated from zinc oxide. Provided is a building material in which an ultraviolet protection layer containing zinc oxide particles and silica particles is formed directly on the surface of a substrate or indirectly with an intermediate resin layer interposed between the substrate and the ultraviolet protection layer. The silica particles are fixed to the substrate or the intermediate resin layer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A building material comprising:
a substrate; and an ultraviolet protection layer containing zinc oxide particles and silica particles formed on a surface of the substrate, wherein the silica particles in the ultraviolet protection layer are fixed to the surface of the substrate.

2 . The building material according to claim 1 ,
wherein the silica particles are disposed around the zinc oxide particles in the ultraviolet protection layer.

3 . The building material according to claim 1 ,
wherein a content of the zinc oxide particles in the ultraviolet protection layer is in a range of about 0.1 to about 1.0 g/m 2 .

4 . The building material according to claim 1 ,
wherein the ultraviolet protection layer has a thickness in a range of about 2.0 to about 20.0 μm.

5 . The building material according to claim 1 ,
wherein the zinc oxide particles have an average particle diameter in a range of about 5.0 to about 35.0 nm.

6 . The building material according to claim 1 ,
wherein the silica particles have an average particle diameter in a range of about 4.0 to about 20.0 nm.

7 . The building material according to claim 1 ,
wherein the silica particles comprise a least one of colloidal silica and fumed silica.

8 . The building material according to claim 1 ,
wherein the substrate is covered with an intermediate resin layer to form the surface of the substrate, and
the silica particles in the ultraviolet protection layer are fixed to the intermediate resin layer formed on the substrate.

9 . The building material according to claim 8 ,
wherein the intermediate resin layer is made of at least one of an acrylic resin and an acrylic silicone resin.

10 . The building material according to claim 1 ,
wherein the silica particles in the ultraviolet protection layer are directly fixed to the substrate.

11 . A method for producing a building material comprising:
mixing silica particles, zinc oxide particles, a surfactant, alcohol, and water to produce a coating material; applying the coating material to a surface of a substrate; and drying the coating material to form an ultraviolet protection layer in which the silica particles are disposed around the zinc oxide particles.

12 . The method for producing a building material according to claim 11 ,
wherein a content of the zinc oxide particles in the ultraviolet protection layer is in a range of about 0.1 to about 1.0 g/m 2 .

13 . The method for producing a building material according to claim 11 ,
wherein the ultraviolet protection layer has a thickness in a range of about 2.0 to about 20.0 μm.

14 . The method for producing a building material according to claim 11 ,
wherein the zinc oxide particles have an average particle diameter in a range of about 5.0 to about 35.0 nm.

15 . The method for producing a building material according to claim 11 ,

16 . The method for producing a building material according to claim 11 ,
wherein the silica particles comprise at least one of colloidal silica and fumed silica.

17 . The method for producing a building material according to claim 11 ,
wherein the substrate is covered with an intermediate resin layer to form the surface of the substrate, and
the silica particles in the ultraviolet protection layer are fixed to the surface of the intermediate resin layer formed on the substrate.

18 . The method for producing a building material according to claim 17 ,
wherein the intermediate resin layer is made of at least one of an acrylic resin and an acrylic silicone resin.

19 . The method for producing a building material according to claim 11 ,
wherein the silica particles in the ultraviolet protection layer are directly fixed to the substrate.
