SURFACE TREATMENT COMPOSITION AND
SURFACE-TREATED RESIN MOLDING
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a surface treatment
composition which is capable of forming coatings having excellent
gas barrier properties, transparency and flexibility, and gas
barrier material and heat sticking preventing coating for heat-
sensitive heat transfer, both of which are surface-treated with
the composition.
DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART
Gas barrier materials having an extremely low level of
permeability to gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide,
water vapor, etc. are increasingly demanded in the field of
packaging materials. Known methods of giving the gas barrier
properties to molded materials such as plastic films or sheets
include (1) the method of forming a molded product by using a
gas-impermeable material such as an ethylene-vinyl alcohol
copolymer, a vinylidene chloride copolymer, a poly-m-xylylene
adipamide or the like; (2) the method of laminating or coating
such a gas-impermeable material on other materials; (3) the
method of laminating an aluminum foil on a film material; and (4)
the method of depositing a metal oxide.
However, of the gas-impermeable materials used in method
(1), ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer and poly-m-xylylene
1
2154364
adipamide have the problem that the gas-barrier properties
significantly deteriorate with moisture absorption due to high
hygroscopicity thereof. Vinylidene chloride copolymers have
chlorine atoms and thus might cause environmental pollution.
In method (3), an aluminum foil-laminated film makes a packaged
content invisible from the outside. In method (4), a metal-
deposited film has the problem that since a flexibility of the
film deteriorates, cracks easily occur in the deposited layer
during packaging, thereby deteriorating the gas barrier
properties.
In order to solve the above problems, research~has been
made for treating the surface of a plastic film with polysiloxane
having a tight molecular structure and excellent weather
resistance, hardness and chemical resistance. However, since
tetraalkoxysilane used as a material for polysiloxane exhibits as
many as four hydrolytic condensation reaction points, the
volumetric shrinkage rate in condensation is large, and it is
thus difficult to obtain a coated film without cracks or pin-
holes.
Therefore, a method for preventing cracks and pinholes
has been proposed in which alkyltrialkoxysilane having only three
hydrolytic condensation reaction points is used singly or in
combination with tetraalkoxysilane for co-hydrolytic
condensation. However, in the present situation, since
alkyltrialkoxysilane has low reactivity, use of alkyltri-
alkoxysilane alone leaves many uncondensed monomers, and
2
2150364
combination with tetraalkoxysilane hardly permits uniform
cohydrolytic condensation. Further, such silane type surface
treatment compositions exhibit no affinity for plastic film
materials and have poor wettability, thereby causing the problem
of have poor membrane-forming properties.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. HEI 2-286331 discloses the
method of coating alkoxysilane on a plastic film by hydrolytic
condensation. However, in this method, only an alkoxysilane
component is coated on the film, and thus the flexibility of the
film significantly deteriorates.
From the above viewpoints, for example, Japanese Patent
Laid-Open No.HEI 1-278574 discloses that alkoxysilane hydrolyzate
such as tetraalkoxysilane or the like is combined with a reactive
urethane resin for preventing cracks in a surface-treated
coating. However, since the reactive urethane resin reacts with
an alcohol used as a solvent, the alkoxysilane hydrolyzate and
the reactive urethane resin are not sufficiently compounded and
thus cause phase separation, thereby making the coating opaque.
On the other hand, in recent years, a heat-sensitive
recording system has frequently been used for facsimile and
printers in which a heat-sensitive color-developing layer
comprising two components dispersed therein, which develop a
color on heating, is provided on a substrate. However, this
system has the faults of poor storage stability, liability to
change after recording, and poor solvent resistance.
A .transfer-type heat-sensitive recording system is known as means
3
21503fi4
for removing the above faults.
In the transfer-type heat-sensitive recording system,
printing is made on a receiving sheet (e. g., plain paper) by heat
pulses from a heating head through a heat-sensitive transfer
material. A generally known heat-sensitive transfer material
has a heat transfer ink layer such as a heat-meltable ink layer,
a heat-sublimable dye-containing layer or the like, which is
provided on the side contacting the receiving sheet. Since
there have recently been demand for improving printing
performance and printing speed, a method of decreasing the
thickness of a base film and a method of increasing the quantity
of heat applied to the heating head have been proposed.
However, these methods cause the problem of melting the base film
due to the large heat load on the base film, thereby causing a
trouble in running of the heating head. This phenomenon is
generally known as "heat sticking".
In order to remove this heat sticking, various proposals
have been made. For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open
No. SHO 55-7467 discloses the method of coating a heat-resistant
resin such as a silicone resin, an epoxy resin or the like on one
side of a base film. However, in the present situation, coating
of such a heat-resistant resin requires heat curing at 100°C or
more for several hours, and additionally the satisfactory effect
in preventing heat sticking cannot be obtained because a silicone
resin has poor adhesion to the base film and an epoxy resin has
poor lubricity of the coating surface.

The reaction of hydrolytic condensation proceeds in the
presence of the silane compound (A) and water, it is favorable
for the surface treatment composition to react in solvent (F)
which will be described below. The molar ratio A/W of the
silane compound (A) to water is preferably 0.1 to 3. With a
molar ratio of less than 0.1, gelation comes to easily occur
during condensation. With a molar ratio of more than 3, much
time is required for the reaction, and the silane compound might
remain unreacted. The reaction time is not limited, but it is
preferable to cvomplete the hydrolytic condensation reaction.
This is because when the silane compound (B) previously obtained
by condensation is used, sufficient hydrolytic condensation can
prevent the occurrence of cracks in a surface-treated coating due
to lE~ss volumetric shrinkage thereof.
The surface treatment composition of the present
inve:ntion can contain a co-hydrolytic condensation product(D) of
the silane compound (A) and an organometallic compound (C). The
org;anometallic compound (C) which can form the product of co-

and the like. The co-hydrolytic condensation product (D) is
produced by hydrolysis and condensation of at least one of the
organometallic compounds with the silane compound (A). The
reaction may be effected under the same conditions as the above-
11
2150364
described conditions for hydrolytic condensation of the silane
compound (A).
The silane compound component used in the surface
treatment composition of the present invention comprises at least
one selected from the group consisting of the silane compound
(A), the hydrolytic condensation product (B) of the silane
compound (A), and the co-hydrolytic condensation product (D) of

compound (A) and the hydrolytic condensation product (B) of the
silane compound (A), and one or both of a hydrolytic condensation
production (G) of the organometallic compound (C) and the
organometallic compound (C) can also be used as the silane
compound component. The organometallic compound (C) or the
hydrolytic condensation product (G) thereof is effective for
improving the chemical resistance and heat resistance of a
coating. In this case, the organometallic compound (C) and/or the
hydrolytic condensation product (G) thereof is preferably used in
an amount of 0 to 200 mol%, and more preferably 0 to 100 mol%,
based on the silane compound component. Use of more than
200mo1% sometimes causes the formation of particles with amine in
the silane compound component, which serves as a catalyst, and
thus rapidly produces gelation.
A compound (E) used in the present invention has at least
two functional groups which can react with the amino groups in
the molecule of the silane compound component, and is used as a

thickness of the heat sticking preventing layer 3 is preferably
0.1 to 5 a m, The heat sticking preventing layer 3 can be formed
by a conventional known coating or printing method using the
surface treatment composition of the present invention. In the
CA 02150364 2000-OS-10
formation, a curing catalyst may be used according to demand.
A conventional film can be used as the base film.
Examples of such films include polyester films, polycarbonate
films, cellulose acetate films, polypropylene films, cellophane
and the like.
In the surface treatment composition of the present
invention, it is possible to securely prevent the occurrence of
cracks by using, as the silane compound component, a large amount
of the hydrolytic condensation product (B) or (D) which exhibits
less volumetric shrinkage during curing. The combination of the
organometallic compound (C) and the hydrolytic condensation
product (G) thereof is effective for improving the heat
resistance and chemical resistance of the coating.

EXAMPLE 17
2.0 g of water was added to 100 g of methanol, and the
resultant mixture was stirred. 20 g of Y-aminopropyltri-
methoxysilane was dropwisely added to the mixture at 30°C over 30
minutes. After stirring at 30°C for 30 minutes, 3 g of
diethylene glycol diglycidyl ether was added to the mixture, and
the resultant mixture was further stirred for 1 hour to obtain
polymer solution 1.
The thus-obtained polymer solution 1 was coated on one
side of a PET base film having a thickness of 6u m by a bar
coater, and then dried under heating to form a heat sticking
preventing layer having a thickness of 1.5 a m. A heat transfer
ink layer having a thickness of 2u m was formed on the other side
of the base film to obtain heat-sensitive heat transfer material
(1).
A heat transfer test of the thus-obtained heat-sensitive
heat transfer material (1) was performed on recording paper by
using a thermal head printing test apparatus (produced by
Matsushita-Denshi-Buhin-KK.). In the heat transfer test, the
presence of the heat sticking phenomenon was evaluated by
observing the running state of the thermal head. After the heat
transfer test, the contamination state of the thermal head was
also examined. The results obtained are shown in Table 3. The
test conditions were an applied voltage of 20 V and a printing
speed of 2 milliseconds.
