Patent ID: 11041076

Abstract:
The present invention pertains to a coating film, and more particularly, to an antifogging coating film having excellent antifogging properties, ability to retain antifogging properties, and water resistance. The coating film according to the present invention contains a metal oxide (A) and a hydrophilic compound (B), wherein the elemental concentration ratio (C1s/M), which is between the element C and a metal element and which is obtained from a metal (M) spectrum derived from the metal oxide and a C1s spectrum in an elemental analysis of the surface using XPS, is within the range of 0.2-10. The relative elemental concentration of the element C obtained from a C1s spectrum derived from carbon-oxygen bonds and/or carbon-nitrogen bonds in elemental analysis of the surface using XPS may be within the range of 5-50 atomic %. The metal oxide may be colloidal silica. The coating film according to the present invention can be particularly preferably used as an antifogging coating film and a coating film for automotive exterior parts.
