【0006】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明における、厚さが0.01μm〜0.2μmの金属薄膜層とは、金属としては、金属光沢を有する等の機能を有するものであれば特に限定されるものではないが、アルミニウム、銀、金、ニッケル、クロム、錫、亜鉛、インジウム等が使用され、これらの単体金属又はこれらの合金および単体窒化物又はそれら混合物の少なくとも一種が使用される。また、前記例示のものの中から一種または二種以上を適宜選定し一層または二層以上にして使用すればよい。これらの金属薄膜層の厚さは、0.01μm〜0.2μmの範囲が好ましく、0.01μmに満たないときは、光輝性においてまた機能性においてその性能は乏しく、0.2μmを超えるときは、これ以上厚さを大きくしても反射性、光輝性等の増大に影響が少ない上に経済的にも得策ではない。
【0007】
本発明において、上記金属薄膜層を含む積層体の非定型偏平片を得るためには、例えば離型性フイルムに透明無機薄膜塗布層を形成し、該透明無機薄膜塗布層上に金属薄膜層を形成し、離型性フイルムを剥離し、少なくとも金属薄膜層と透明無機薄膜塗布層とを有する積層体(複合膜)を粉砕する製法が好ましく採用される。
金属薄膜層の剥離性フイルム上の透明無機薄膜塗布層上への形成は、その方法において特に限定されるものではなく、蒸着、スパッタリング、イオンプレーテイングなど乾式薄膜形成法が好ましい。この金属薄膜層形成後、該層上に、必要に応じてさらに前記の透明無機薄膜塗布層を形成してもよく、また他の樹脂性保護層を形成してもよい。
この金属薄膜層の剥離性フイルム上(又は透明無機薄膜塗布層上)への形成は目的とする金属薄膜層を一層設けてもよく、二層以上設けてもよく、二層以上設けるに際しては、層間に水性樹脂層等を介在させてもよく、介在なしに直接層を積層してもよい。この多層形成の場合においては、剥離性フイルムからの剥離が容易となり好適となる場合が多い。
【0008】
剥離性フイルム上に形成され剥離性フイルムを剥離した、積層体として得られた非定型偏平片を粉砕して本発明の非定型偏平片を得るが、粉砕方法としては、特に限定されないが、ジェットミル、ボールミル、リングロールミル、ハンマーミル、チューブミル等が挙げられる。この粉砕を水中で行ってもよくその際、アルコール等の粘度調節材、乾燥促進材、沈降安定剤、界面活性剤等を同時に使用して粉砕してもよい。さらに特に粉砕を積極的に実施しなくても、剥離性フイルムから剥離することだけで、積層体が微細な非定型偏平片となる場合もある。

本発明における厚さが0.05μm〜2.0μmの透明無機薄膜塗布層は、剥離性フイルム上に形成されるか、形成された金属薄膜層上に形成されるもので、金属薄膜層の耐汚染性等の保護、剥離性フイルムからの金属薄膜層の剥離性向上等の目的に必要なものであり、その厚さは0.05μm〜2.0μmが好ましく、0.05μmに満たないときはその保護、剥離性向上に充分でなく、2.0μmを超えるときは、その効果の更なる向上は見られず経済的にも得策でなく、塗料等に使用されたときの金属箔粉として厚くなりすぎ平滑な塗装面が得られなくなる場合が多い。
厚さが0.05μm〜2.0μmの透明無機薄膜塗布層の材料としては、ケイ素−酸素結合含有無機物を形成するケイ素アルコキシド、チタンアルコキシド、ジルコニウムアルコキシド、等の金属アルコキシド、水ガラス、ポリシラザン、ポリフォスファゼン等、触媒作用、加熱、紫外線照射などによって透明無機薄膜層を形成するものであれば特に限定されないが、塗布後、透明無機薄膜層としての透明性、金属薄膜層の保護性から、ケイ素−酸素結合含有無機物を形成するもの、アルミニウム−酸素結合含有無機物を形成するもの、ジルコニウム−酸素結合含有無機物を形成するもの、チタン−酸素結合含有無機物を形成するものが好ましい。これらの透明無機薄膜層を形成するアルコキシドなどを水やアルコールに溶解または分散して塗布し、触媒作用、加熱、紫外線照射などによって透明無機薄膜層を形成する際、金属酸化物の微細粉体、例えばシリカ、酸化チタン、酸化アルミニウム、酸化ジルコニウム、酸化錫、酸化インジウム、酸化マグネシウムを添加含有せしめてもよく、これらの金属−酸素結合を形成するアルコキシド等と金属酸化物の微細粉体との金属が同一でもよく異種でもよく、また2種以上の金属から選ばれたものであってもよい。
さらに、透明無機薄膜層を形成するアルコキシドなどを水やアルコールに溶解または分散して塗布し、触媒作用、加熱、紫外線照射などによって透明無機薄膜層を形成する際に、本発明の目的、即ち透明性、耐熱性、剥離性を損なわない限りにおいて、有機ポリマーなどのバインダー、色素や染料、レベリング剤、等を含有せしめてもよく、かかる色素や染料などを該透明無機薄膜層に含有せしめることは蒸着などの乾式製膜法においては困難であり、塗布によって初めて達成でき、金属光輝性への耐熱性種々色相の付与が可能となる。
【0010】
本発明において、適宜使用される水性樹脂は、非定型偏平片が媒体に分散される時に分散剤としてまた沈降を防ぐ安定剤としても作用する。水性樹脂としては製膜性があり、かつ水溶解性、ないしは易水分散性のものが好ましく、エチレン・ビニルアルコール共重合体、酢酸ビニル部分加水分解物、ポリビニルアルコール、ポリエチレングリコール等のエチレンオキサイド付加物、アラビヤゴム、CMC(カルボキシメチルセルローズ)等のセルローズ誘導体等が挙げられるが、なかでもポリエチレングリコール等のエチレンオキサイド付加物が好ましく使用できる。該樹脂層の厚さは、0.3−2μm程度のものが好ましい。

本発明で使用される離型性フイルムとしては、ポリテトラフルオロエチレン、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、ポリエチレンテレフタレート,ポリエチレンナフタレート等のポリエステルフイルム、66ナイロン、6ナイロン等のポリアミドフイルム、ポリカーボネートフイルム、トリアセテートフイルム、ポリイミドフイルム等が挙げられるが特に限定されるものではない。
これらのフイルムの厚さは4μmから40μmであり、4μmに満たないものは、工程等で取り扱い性に問題が多く、40μmを超えると、柔軟性に乏しくなり、剥離等に問題が多くなる。
本発明においては、▲1▼厚さが0.01μm〜0.2μmの金属薄膜層と、▲2▼厚さが0.05μm〜2.0μmの透明無機薄膜塗布層とを有する積層体の破砕非定型偏平片である金属箔粉であるが、該金属箔粉の厚さが3μm以下の金属薄膜層と透明無機薄膜塗布層との積層体の非定型偏平片がより好ましく、更に好ましくは2μm以下である。

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In the present invention, the metal thin film layer having a thickness of 0.01 μm to 0.2 μm is not particularly limited as long as the metal has a function such as having a metallic luster, but aluminum, silver Gold, nickel, chromium, tin, zinc, indium, etc. are used, and at least one of these simple metals or alloys thereof and simple nitrides or mixtures thereof is used. In addition, one or two or more types may be appropriately selected from the above examples, and one layer or two or more layers may be used. The thickness of these metal thin film layers is preferably in the range of 0.01 μm to 0.2 μm. When the thickness is less than 0.01 μm, the performance is poor in brightness and functionality, and when it exceeds 0.2 μm Even if the thickness is increased further, there is little influence on the increase in reflectivity, glitter, etc., and it is not economically advantageous.
[0007]
In the present invention, in order to obtain an atypical flat piece of a laminate including the metal thin film layer, for example, a transparent inorganic thin film coating layer is formed on a releasable film, and the metal thin film layer is formed on the transparent inorganic thin film coating layer. A production method is preferably employed in which the formed film is peeled off and the laminate (composite film) having at least the metal thin film layer and the transparent inorganic thin film coating layer is pulverized.
The formation of the metal thin film layer on the peelable film on the transparent inorganic thin film coating layer is not particularly limited in the method, and dry thin film forming methods such as vapor deposition, sputtering, and ion plating are preferable. After the formation of the metal thin film layer, the transparent inorganic thin film coating layer may be further formed on the layer as required, or another resinous protective layer may be formed.
The formation of the metal thin film layer on the peelable film (or the transparent inorganic thin film coating layer) may be provided with a single metal thin film layer, two or more layers, and two or more layers. An aqueous resin layer or the like may be interposed between the layers, or the layers may be laminated directly without interposition. In the case of this multilayer formation, peeling from the peelable film is easy and often suitable.
[0008]
An atypical flat piece of the present invention is obtained by pulverizing an atypical flat piece obtained as a laminate, which is formed on a peelable film and from which the peelable film has been peeled, but the crushing method is not particularly limited, Examples thereof include a mill, a ball mill, a ring roll mill, a hammer mill, and a tube mill. This pulverization may be carried out in water, and at that time, it may be pulverized by simultaneously using a viscosity modifier such as alcohol, a drying accelerator, a sedimentation stabilizer, a surfactant and the like. Furthermore, even if the pulverization is not actively carried out, the laminate may become a fine atypical flat piece simply by peeling from the peelable film.
[0009]
The transparent inorganic thin film coating layer having a thickness of 0.05 μm to 2.0 μm in the present invention is formed on the peelable film or formed on the formed metal thin film layer. It is necessary for the purpose of protecting the contamination and improving the peelability of the metal thin film layer from the peelable film. The thickness is preferably 0.05 μm to 2.0 μm, and less than 0.05 μm. When it exceeds 2.0 μm, it is not sufficient for its protection and releasability improvement, and further improvement of its effect is not seen and it is not economically advantageous, and it is thick as a metal foil powder when used in paints etc. In many cases, it becomes too smooth to obtain a smooth painted surface.
Materials for the transparent inorganic thin film coating layer having a thickness of 0.05 μm to 2.0 μm include silicon alkoxide, titanium alkoxide, zirconium alkoxide, and other metal alkoxides that form silicon-oxygen bond-containing inorganic substances, water glass, polysilazane, polyphosphorus. It is not particularly limited as long as it forms a transparent inorganic thin film layer by sphazene, catalysis, heating, ultraviolet irradiation, etc., but after coating, silicon as a transparent inorganic thin film layer and a protective property of the metal thin film layer -What forms an oxygen bond containing inorganic substance, What forms an aluminum- oxygen bond containing inorganic substance, What forms a zirconium- oxygen bond containing inorganic substance, What forms a titanium- oxygen bond containing inorganic substance is preferable. When the transparent inorganic thin film layer is formed by applying an alkoxide or the like forming the transparent inorganic thin film layer dissolved or dispersed in water or alcohol, and forming the transparent inorganic thin film layer by catalytic action, heating, ultraviolet irradiation, etc., For example, silica, titanium oxide, aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide, tin oxide, indium oxide, magnesium oxide may be added, and the metal of these metal-oxygen bond alkoxides and the metal oxide fine powder May be the same or different, and may be selected from two or more metals.
Furthermore, when the transparent inorganic thin film layer is formed by applying an alkoxide or the like that forms the transparent inorganic thin film layer dissolved or dispersed in water or alcohol and forming the transparent inorganic thin film layer by catalytic action, heating, ultraviolet irradiation, or the like, As long as the properties, heat resistance, and peelability are not impaired, binders such as organic polymers, pigments and dyes, leveling agents, etc. may be included, and such pigments and dyes may be included in the transparent inorganic thin film layer. It is difficult in a dry film-forming method such as vapor deposition, and can be achieved only by coating, and it is possible to impart various heat resistant colors to the metallic glitter.
[0010]
In the present invention, the water-based resin used as appropriate acts as a dispersant when the atypical flat piece is dispersed in the medium and also as a stabilizer that prevents sedimentation. The water-based resin preferably has a film-forming property and is water-soluble or easily water-dispersible. Addition of ethylene oxide such as ethylene / vinyl alcohol copolymer, vinyl acetate partial hydrolyzate, polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, etc. Products, arabic rubber, cellulose derivatives such as CMC (carboxymethylcellulose), and the like. Among these, ethylene oxide adducts such as polyethylene glycol are preferably used. The thickness of the resin layer is preferably about 0.3-2 μm.

Examples of the releasable film used in the present invention include polyester films such as polytetrafluoroethylene, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene naphthalate, polyamide films such as 66 nylon and 6 nylon, polycarbonate films, triacetate films, and polyimides. Although a film etc. are mentioned, it is not specifically limited.
The thickness of these films is 4 μm to 40 μm. If the thickness is less than 4 μm, there are many problems in handling in the process and the like, and if it exceeds 40 μm, the flexibility becomes poor and the problems in peeling and the like increase.
In the present invention, (1) crushing of a laminate having a metal thin film layer having a thickness of 0.01 μm to 0.2 μm and (2) a transparent inorganic thin film coating layer having a thickness of 0.05 μm to 2.0 μm. Although it is a metal foil powder which is an atypical flat piece, the atypical flat piece of the laminated body of the metal thin film layer whose thickness is 3 micrometers or less and a transparent inorganic thin film application layer is more preferable, More preferably, it is 2 micrometers. It is as follows.

【Example】
** Example 1
An unstretched polypropylene film with a thickness of 20 microns was coated with an isopropyl alcohol-based organosol containing 30% silica (weight: 10%) and dried, post-cured, and a silica layer with a thickness of 0.8 μm was formed. A transparent inorganic thin film coating layer was formed. On the silica layer, chromium was vapor-deposited as a metal thin film layer so as to have a thickness of 0.04 μm in a vacuum vapor deposition machine. On the obtained chromium metal thin film layer, an organosol was applied as a top coat layer, dried, and post-cured to form a transparent inorganic thin film coating layer of a silica layer having a thickness of 0.3 μm.
Only the laminate composed of the transparent inorganic thin film coating layer, the chromium metal thin film layer, and the top coat layer was peeled off from the film and accumulated in the special glitter laminate thus obtained. The obtained laminate was pulverized in water to obtain a beautiful non-standard flat piece having a special brightness of 1.2 μm.
[0013]
** Example 2
A 20-micron-thick unstretched polypropylene film, a solution of sodium silicate dissolved in 0.1% polyvinyl alcohol-dissolved water at a concentration of 5%, is applied and dried by gravure method, treated with 3% nitric acid solution, and dried. Thus, a transparent inorganic thin film coating layer having a thickness of 1.0 μm was formed. On the transparent inorganic thin film coating layer, aluminum was vapor-deposited as a metal thin film layer so as to have a thickness of 0.05 μm in a vacuum vapor deposition machine. On the obtained aluminum metal thin film layer, the transparent inorganic thin film coating layer was similarly formed as a top coat layer to a thickness of 0.5 μm.
The laminate on the film thus obtained was peeled and accumulated from the film, and the laminate comprising the transparent inorganic thin film coating layer, the chromium metal thin film layer, and the top coat layer was peeled off.
The obtained laminate was pulverized and sieved to obtain a beautiful atypical flat piece having a special glitter with a longest piece length of the aluminum metal thin film layer of 12.0 μm and a thickness of 1.5 μm.
[0014]
