【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、乾燥時には白色を呈し、湿潤時には透明になるような光散乱粉末を紙、不織布、フィルム等の基材に接着性の良い樹脂バインダーで接着した被覆層と、その下に施した非水溶性の染顔料(着色成分)により着色された着色層とからなる、水濡れ時に発色して水濡れを視認させる為の水濡れインジケーターに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
外部から水濡れの有無を確認する手段としては、実際に手で触れて外部からの手触りによって内部の様子を予測しなければならなかった。しかし、雨漏りを調べるために設置した天井部材や漏電防止のための防水容器に使用した場合等では実際に手で触れることは危険が伴うため現実には不可能に等しいものであった。これらの用途では、水濡れの検知は早いほど有効であるが実際には、雨漏りがするとか漏電したという現象が現れて初めて確認されるものであった。
【0003】
近年になって外部から水濡れの有無を判別する他の方法として実際に手で触る以外の方法が種々考案されている。これらの技術を分類すると、
(1)pH指示薬によるもの (特開昭56ー43402号等)
(2)電気的なエネルギーを利用したもの (特公昭55ー22017号等)
(3)水溶性染料を用いたもの (特開昭55ー36326号等)
(4)染料プリントの上を湿潤度の違いによって光散乱度の異なる無機微粒子
で覆ったもの (特開昭59ー21702号等)
がある。
【0004】
(1)では浸透水のPHにより発色の程度が変わることが問題である。どのようなpH値の水であっても一定の変色を示すことが肝要である。また、保存中に酸やアルカリの雰囲気に合っていると変色してしまうことも問題である。(2)は水に濡れることによって2つの離れた電極間に電流が流れるようにし、ブザーを鳴らすとか電灯を灯すという方法であるが、これでは大量の水に浸されなければならず少量の水では検知できない。また、電解質を溶解した水溶液であれば電気伝導度も大きく電流を流しやすいが、蒸留水のような水では電気伝導度が低く電流を流しにくいため水濡れの検知能力が低下する。(3)は水溶性の染料が水と接したときに溶けて広がるため染料で描いた図柄がぼやけるため水の存在が判るというものである。しかし、この方法では水量が多いときには染料が滲んで見た目が汚いという欠点がある。また、染料は水溶性が高いために保存中に空気中の湿度によって色が広がってしまう可能性がある。これらの欠点を考え合わせると、(4)の方法が最も良いように考えられるが、水に濡れて光散乱能の低下する物質は一般に乾燥状態でもその隠蔽性は良くなく、水に濡れての急激な色変化は期待できない。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明者等は、乾燥時には完全に白色であり、湿潤時には変色したことが容易に視認できる水濡れインジケーターを開発することを課題とした。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者等は、このような状況に鑑みて鋭意研究した結果、乾燥時には白色を呈すが、湿潤時には透明になるような着色層と被覆層の組合せを見いだし、それを紙、不織布、フィルム等に印刷および/または塗工することによって本水濡れインジケーターを完成するに至った。
【0007】
即ち、本発明により完成された水濡れインジケーターを使用すれば、水が本水濡れインジケーターの被覆層に達すると直ぐに、被覆層が白色から透明に変化するというものである。本発明者等が見い出した、着色層Bと被覆層Cとの組み合わせとは、湿潤度の相違により透明性の異なる光散乱性粉体を着色顔料と一緒に分散させた着色層Bと光散乱性粉体のみを分散させた被覆層Cとの組み合わせである。このように、被覆層Cのみだけでなく、着色層Bにも光散乱性粉体を分散させることによって、本水濡れインジケーターの外部からの視認度は大きく向上する。
【0008】
本発明によって完成された水濡れインジケーターを作成する場合には、その発色機構上、3層構造をとらなければならない。即ち、本発明の着色層Bおよび被覆層Cとこれらを支える基材層Aである。本水濡れインジケーターのどちらの面から水が接近してくるかによって基材層Aの性質は異なるが被覆層Cの側から接近してくるのであれば材質は関係なく紙、不織布、プラスチックフィルム及び/又は金属等問題はないが、基材層Aの側から接近してくるのであれば紙、不織布及び/又は布のような透水性のものである必要がある。2層目が有色層である着色層Bであり、そして、3層目が光散乱性粉末を用いた被覆層Cである。
【0009】
第2層目の着色層Bについてであるが、この層の構成成分は、(1)水に接しても色が滲まない色材、(2)色材を紙、不織布、フィルム等の基材に固定させる為のバインダー、および(3)水濡れインジケーターとしての機能を視認するのに十分な迄に拡大する光散乱性粉体である。特開昭59ー21702号では着色層Bにこの第3成分である光散乱性粉体を分散させていないために視認するのに十分な色変化が得られない。本発明者等は色材として水溶性の染料ではなく水不溶性の顔料を使用することによって水に接しても滲まない着色層Bを得た。次に、(2)のバインダーであるが、バインダー成分としてはポリビニルアルコール、カルボキシメチルセルロースナトリウム、デンプン等の水溶性樹脂、ポリエステル系、ポリアミド系、ポリウレタン系等の縮合系樹脂、ポリオレフィン系、アクリル系等の付加重合系樹脂のいずれでも良いが、有機溶剤系の樹脂を使用すると水透過性が劣るため基材層A及び/又は被覆層Cを通過してきた水が光散乱性粉体と接しないため乾燥時と湿潤時で光透過性能が異なるという機能が発現できない。さらに、有機溶剤の残留等による環境汚染の危険性を考慮に入れると水系である、アクリルエマルジョン樹脂が最適である。
【0010】
特に、本水濡れインジケーターの最外層に第4層目として防水フィルムDを付加して使用する場合には、着色層Bの被覆度合いが増すので、本発明の方法により色変化の増大を図らなければ、実際には色変化を判別できる程度の十分な変色を期待できない。
【0011】
次に、被覆層Cについてであるが、その構成成分は、(1)アルミナシリケート、二酸化珪素、硫酸バリウム、タルク、亜鉛華、二酸化チタン、および/または炭酸カルシウムという隠蔽性があり、かつ乾燥時と湿潤時で光透過性能が異なる光散乱性粉末、(2)光散乱性粉末(1)を着色層Bの上に接着するためのバインダー、(3)作業安定性を良くするための遅乾剤、(4)光散乱性粉体をバインダー中へ分散させるための分散剤、および(5)紙に加工したときに光散乱性粉末の紙中への浸透を押さえるためのポリビニルアルコール、カルボキシメチルセルロースナトリウム等の水溶性樹脂である。
【0012】
乾燥時と湿潤時の光透過性能の差という点だけでは上記記載の光散乱性粉末のうちで二酸化珪素が最適であるが、乾燥時の隠蔽力の絶対的な値を考慮すればアルミナシリケートとの併用が良い。使用用途、使用場所等の条件によって他の上記光散乱性粉末を複数種類併用する。
【0013】
被覆層Cに使用するバインダー(2)としては、着色層に使用するものと同様、水溶性樹脂、縮合系樹脂、及び/又は付加重合系の樹脂のいずれでも良いが、被覆層Cの最大の役割の1つに着色層Bに水を伝えることがある。そのためには、透水性の大きいアクリルエマルジョン樹脂が最適である。また、本被覆層Cは透明フィルムに上記光散乱性粉末を塗工あるいは印刷して作成したシートを使用することも可能である。
【0014】
着色層Bを基材層Aの上に加工するには、(1)グラビア方式による印刷、(2)スクリーン印刷方式によるプリント加工等がある。グラビア方式による場合には、その方式において要求される分散体の適性粘度の関係から、高粘度化をもたらす光散乱性粉体を多量に使用することは出来ず、そのため乾燥時と湿潤時の色変化の拡大には限界がある。グラビア方式(1)では、その限界粘度が4000cps程度であり、適性粘度は500cps以下である。そのためには光散乱性粉体含有量は35%以下好ましくは5%以下である。反面グラビア方式では印刷スピードを上げることが出来る。しかし、水系であるため乾燥に時間がかかり次の被覆層の加工に問題が出てくる。この乾燥性の改良のために、着色層Bの中には前述の構成成分の他にイソプロピルアルコールのような速乾性の成分を使用してもかまわない。
【0015】
一方、スクリーン方式(2)では、高粘度でも充分対応可能であり、かつ、プリント量が多いために乾燥時と湿潤時の色変化を大きく出来る。しかし、スクリーン方式ではグラビア方式に比べ、印刷スピードが出せないという問題がある。両者とも光散乱性粉体の分散体を使用することによって、グラビアロールの版詰まりまたはスクリーンの目詰まりを生じることは否めない。これを防止するために、前記事項とは相反することであるが、エチレングリコール及び/又は尿素のような遅乾剤の適量を構成成分に添加して作業性を上げることが有意義である。
【0016】
着色層Bの印刷を終えた原紙は、被覆層Cの印刷/塗工へと順次ラインを流れる。被覆層Cでは出来るだけ多くの光散乱性粉末を着色層Bの上に載せることが目的である。従って、最適な加工方法はコーターによる塗工であり、ついでスクリーン印刷である。しかし、プリント量が多くなると言うことは乾燥しにくくなることである。少量の塗工量で十分な隠蔽性が得られる場合にはグラビア印刷でも可能である。
【0017】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明を実施する場合、基材層Aとしては通常の紙を用いることが好適で、光散乱性粉末が分散含有された着色層Bを、その表面に印刷又は塗布により形成し、好適にはこの着色層Bに接して被覆層Cを形成する。被覆層Cは、親水性バインダー中に光散乱性粉末が分散されていて乾燥状態では不透明であり、且つ含水状態で光散乱性が低下して透明性が増加する様に、印刷又は塗布によって形成する。
【0018】
この様にして本発明水濡れインジケーターを得ることができるが、着色層Bはそれ自体親水性で、光散乱性粉末の作用で乾燥状態では着色成分によって生じる筈の色調が低下されており、含水状態になると光散乱が低下して本来の色調を発色する様にされている。着色層B及び被覆層Cにおいて、光散乱性粉末として好適にはシリカ粉末及び/又はアルミナシリケート粉末を用いること、及びバインダーとしてアクリルエマルジョン樹脂を用いることによって本発明の効果が遺憾なく発揮される。
【0019】
着色層B及び被覆層Cを形成するには印刷が好適であるが、とりわけグラビア印刷方式又はスクリーン印刷方式が好ましい。グラビア方式は、大量生産を高速で能率良く実施するのに適し、スクリーン方式は、生産性が低いが、高濃度(高粘度)のインキで各層を厚く形成するのに適し、印刷版の製作に時間とコストが掛からない利点があるので少量生産に適する。被覆層Cの形成のみに就いてみれば、コーターによる塗工が最適である。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a coating layer in which a light-scattering powder that exhibits a white color when dried and becomes transparent when wet is adhered to a base material such as paper, nonwoven fabric, and film with a resin binder having good adhesiveness, and a non-coated layer provided under the coating layer The present invention relates to a water-wetting indicator comprising a colored layer colored with a water-soluble dye / pigment (coloring component), which is colored when water-wet to visually recognize water-wetting.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As a means for confirming the presence or absence of water from the outside, it was necessary to predict the inside by actually touching with hands. However, when used as a ceiling member installed to check for rain leakage or a waterproof container for preventing leakage, it is virtually impossible to actually touch it with a hand because it involves danger. In these applications, the earlier the detection of water wetting is, the more effective it is. However, actually, it is only confirmed when a phenomenon such as rain leakage or electric leakage appears.
[0003]
In recent years, various methods other than actually touching with a hand have been devised as other methods for determining the presence or absence of water from outside. Classifying these technologies,
(1) pH indicator (JP-A-56-43402, etc.)
(2) Using electric energy (Japanese Patent Publication No. 55-22017)
(3) Using a water-soluble dye (JP-A-55-36326, etc.)
(4) Dye prints covered with inorganic fine particles having different light scattering degrees depending on the degree of wetness (JP-A-59-21702, etc.)
There is.
[0004]
In (1), there is a problem that the degree of color development changes depending on the pH of the permeated water. It is important that water of any pH value shows a certain color change. Another problem is that during storage, the color may change if it matches the atmosphere of an acid or alkali. (2) is a method in which current flows between two separate electrodes by getting wet with water, and a buzzer sounds or a light is turned on. However, this method requires immersion in a large amount of water and a small amount of water. Cannot be detected. In addition, an aqueous solution in which an electrolyte is dissolved has a large electric conductivity and easily flows an electric current. However, water such as distilled water has a low electric conductivity and makes it difficult to flow an electric current, so that the ability to detect water wetting is reduced. In (3), the water-soluble dye melts and spreads when it comes into contact with water, so that the pattern drawn with the dye is blurred, so that the presence of water can be recognized. However, this method has a drawback that when the amount of water is large, the dye is oozed and the appearance is dirty. In addition, since the dye is highly water-soluble, the color may spread due to humidity in the air during storage. Considering these drawbacks, the method (4) is considered to be the best. However, a substance that is wetted with water and has a reduced light scattering ability generally has poor concealing properties even in a dry state, A rapid color change cannot be expected.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present inventors was to develop a water-wetting indicator which is completely white when dry and easily discolored when wet.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present inventors have conducted intensive studies in view of such a situation, and as a result, have found a combination of a colored layer and a coating layer that exhibits white when dry but becomes transparent when wet, and then uses such a combination as paper, nonwoven fabric, film, or the like. By printing and / or coating the water-wetting indicator, the present water-wetting indicator was completed.
[0007]
That is, using the water wetting indicator completed according to the present invention, the coating layer changes from white to transparent as soon as the water reaches the coating layer of the water wetting indicator. The combination of the colored layer B and the coating layer C found by the present inventors means a colored layer B in which a light scattering powder having different transparency due to a difference in wetness is dispersed together with a colored pigment. This is a combination with the coating layer C in which only the conductive powder is dispersed. As described above, by dispersing the light scattering powder not only in the coating layer C but also in the coloring layer B, the visibility of the present water wet indicator from the outside is greatly improved.
[0008]
In order to produce a water-wetting indicator completed according to the present invention, it is necessary to take a three-layer structure due to its coloring mechanism. That is, the coloring layer B and the coating layer C of the present invention and the base material layer A that supports them. The nature of the substrate layer A differs depending on which side of the water wetting indicator water comes from, but if it comes from the side of the coating layer C, paper, nonwoven fabric, plastic film and There is no problem with metal and / or the like, but if it approaches from the side of the base material layer A, it must be a water-permeable material such as paper, nonwoven fabric and / or cloth. The second layer is a colored layer B, which is a colored layer, and the third layer is a coating layer C using light scattering powder.
[0009]
Regarding the second colored layer B, the constituent components of this layer include (1) a color material that does not bleed even when it is in contact with water, and (2) a color material that is a base material such as paper, nonwoven fabric, and film. And (3) a light-scattering powder which expands to a sufficient extent to visually recognize the function as a water-wetting indicator. In JP-A-59-21702, since the light-scattering powder as the third component is not dispersed in the colored layer B, a color change sufficient for visual recognition cannot be obtained. The present inventors have obtained a colored layer B which does not bleed even in contact with water by using a water-insoluble pigment instead of a water-soluble dye as a coloring material. Next, the binder of (2) is used. As the binder component, water-soluble resins such as polyvinyl alcohol, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and starch, condensation resins such as polyester, polyamide, and polyurethane, polyolefin, and acryl are used. Any of the addition polymerization type resins may be used, but when an organic solvent type resin is used, water passing through the base material layer A and / or the coating layer C does not come into contact with the light scattering powder due to poor water permeability. The function that the light transmission performance is different between when dry and when wet cannot be realized. Further, in consideration of the risk of environmental pollution due to the residual organic solvent, etc., an aqueous acrylic emulsion resin is most suitable.
[0010]
In particular, when the waterproof film D is added as the fourth layer to the outermost layer of the present water wetting indicator and used, the degree of coverage of the colored layer B increases. Therefore, the color change must be increased by the method of the present invention. For example, it is not possible to actually expect sufficient discoloration to be able to determine a color change.
[0011]
Next, regarding the coating layer C, its constituent components are (1) opaque materials such as alumina silicate, silicon dioxide, barium sulfate, talc, zinc white, titanium dioxide, and / or calcium carbonate, and when dried, And (2) a binder for adhering the light scattering powder (1) on the colored layer B, and (3) a slow drying for improving the work stability. Agent, (4) a dispersant for dispersing the light-scattering powder in a binder, and (5) polyvinyl alcohol and carboxymethylcellulose for suppressing penetration of the light-scattering powder into the paper when processed into paper. It is a water-soluble resin such as sodium.
[0012]
Silicon dioxide is most suitable among the light-scattering powders described above only in terms of the difference in light transmission performance between when dry and when wet, but when considering the absolute value of the hiding power during drying, it is the same as alumina silicate. Is good. A plurality of other light-scattering powders may be used in combination depending on conditions such as a use application and a use place.
[0013]
As the binder (2) used for the coating layer C, any of a water-soluble resin, a condensation resin, and / or an addition polymerization resin may be used as in the case of the coloring layer. One of the roles is to transmit water to the coloring layer B. For that purpose, an acrylic emulsion resin having high water permeability is optimal. Further, as the coating layer C, a sheet prepared by coating or printing the light scattering powder on a transparent film can be used.
[0014]
In order to process the coloring layer B on the base layer A, there are (1) gravure printing, (2) screen printing, and the like. In the case of the gravure method, it is not possible to use a large amount of light scattering powder which brings about high viscosity due to the appropriate viscosity of the dispersion required in the method, and therefore, the color at the time of drying and wetting There is a limit to the extent of change. In the gravure method (1), the limiting viscosity is about 4000 cps, and the appropriate viscosity is 500 cps or less. For that purpose, the light scattering powder content is 35% or less, preferably 5% or less. On the other hand, the gravure method can increase the printing speed. However, since it is water-based, it takes a long time to dry, and there is a problem in processing the next coating layer. In order to improve the drying property, a quick-drying component such as isopropyl alcohol may be used in the coloring layer B in addition to the above-mentioned components.
[0015]
On the other hand, the screen system (2) can sufficiently cope with a high viscosity and can increase the color change between when dry and when wet because of the large amount of printing. However, the screen method has a problem that printing speed cannot be increased as compared with the gravure method. In both cases, the use of the dispersion of the light-scattering powder inevitably causes clogging of the plate of the gravure roll or clogging of the screen. In order to prevent this, it is contradictory to the above, but it is significant to add an appropriate amount of a retarder such as ethylene glycol and / or urea to the components to increase the workability.
[0016]
The base paper on which the coloring layer B has been printed flows sequentially to the printing / coating of the coating layer C. The purpose of the coating layer C is to put as much light scattering powder as possible on the colored layer B. Therefore, the most suitable processing method is coating with a coater, followed by screen printing. However, an increase in the amount of printing means that it is difficult to dry. If a sufficient hiding property can be obtained with a small coating amount, gravure printing is also possible.
[0017]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
When carrying out the present invention, it is preferable to use ordinary paper as the base material layer A, and to form a colored layer B containing light-scattering powder dispersedly on the surface by printing or coating, preferably The coating layer C is formed in contact with the coloring layer B. The coating layer C is formed by printing or coating such that the light-scattering powder is dispersed in a hydrophilic binder and is opaque in a dry state, and the light-scattering property is reduced and the transparency is increased in a water-containing state. I do.
[0018]
In this way, the water-wetting indicator of the present invention can be obtained. However, the colored layer B itself is hydrophilic, and the color tone that would otherwise be caused by the colored component in a dry state is reduced by the action of the light-scattering powder. When the state is reached, light scattering is reduced and the original color tone is developed. In the colored layer B and the coating layer C, the effect of the present invention can be fully exhibited by using a silica powder and / or an alumina silicate powder as a light scattering powder and using an acrylic emulsion resin as a binder.
[0019]
Printing is suitable for forming the coloring layer B and the coating layer C, but a gravure printing method or a screen printing method is particularly preferable. The gravure method is suitable for high-speed and efficient mass production. The screen method is low in productivity, but suitable for forming each layer thick with high-concentration (high-viscosity) ink. It is suitable for small-lot production because it has the advantage of not requiring much time and cost. If only the formation of the coating layer C is considered, coating with a coater is optimal.
