Coated plastic molded articles
First Claim
1. A coated plastic molded article consisting essentially of a plastic article onto at least one surface of which are laminated:
- (a) at least one first layer having a thickness ranging from 1 to 100 μ
m, and comprising a cured composition containing at least one hydrolyzate of at least one silicon compound which is represented by the formula;
space="preserve" listing-type="equation">R.sup.1 Si(R.sup.2).sub.3 wherein R1 is selected from the group consisting of a C1 -C4 hydrocarbon group, an epoxy group-containing organic group and a fluorine atom-containing organic group, and R2 is selected from the group consisting of alkoxy, alkoxyalkoxy, and acetoxy groups and chlorine atoms, provided that said R2 s are the same or different from each other;
(b) at least one second layer, on a surface of said first layer, having a thickness ranging from about 1 to 100 nm, but less than 100 nm, and comprising at least one cured hydrolyzate of at least one silicon compound represented by the formula;
space="preserve" listing-type="equation">(R.sup.3).sub.n Si(R.sup.4).sub.4-n wherein R3 is selected from the group consisting of an acryloxy group-containing organic group, a methacryloxy group-containing organic group and a chlorine-containing organic group, and R4 is selected from the group consisting of alkoxy, alkoxyalkoxy and acetoxy groups, and n is 0 or 1, said at least one second layer which makes said at least one second layer and said at least one third layer adhere uniformly together; and
(c) at least one third layer, on a surface of said second layer, which is formed by immersing said plastic article, with said at least one first layer and said at least one second layer thereon, into an aqueous hydrosilicofluoric acid solution supersaturated with silicon dioxide, forming, on a surface of said at least one second layer, said at least one third layer which is abrasion resistant, weather resistant, chemical resistant and impervious to water;
said at least one first layer, said at least one second layer and said at least one third layer being arranged on said at least one surface of said plastic article in the order of, initially, said at least one first layer, followed by said at least one second layer, and then followed by said at least one third layer.
