Abstract
An article is disclosed comprising a substrate of glass, plastic, metal, organic polymer coated substrates and inorganic coated substrates, wherein at least a portion of the surface of the substrate is treated with a composition comprising a mixture of perfluoroalkylalkylsilane and a completely hydrolyzable silane. The perfluoroalkylalkylsilane provides rain and soil repellency to the substrate surface, while the fully hydrolyzable silane hydrolyzes and condenses to form silica, which imparts resistance to weathering and abrasion, thus improving the durability of the rain and soil repellency properties. The method of providing such a durable rain and soil repellent surface comprises contacting the substrate surface with a composition comprising perfluoroalkylalkylsilane and fully hydrolyzable silane, and may include first depositing a layer of silica on the substrate surface, then contacting the substrate surface with a composition comprising perfluoroalkylalkylsilane and fully hydrolyzable silane.

The surface treatment of the 20 present invention provides enhanced durability to the water and dirt repellent surface without requiring a separate primer layer. High water repellency and lubricity are provided by perfluoroalkylalkylsilane. The hydrolyzable silane also provides for reactive drying of the solvent. The 25 perfluoroalkylalkylsilane and hydrolyzable silane surface treatment of the present invention also provides enhanced abrasion resistance to the substrate surface.

Durability of-rain and soil repellency provided by application of a perfluoroalkylalkylsilane to a substrate surface is enhanced by mixing a silane or mixture of silanes s capable of hydrolysis to silica gel with a perfluoroalkyl-alkylsilane prior to application. In accordance with the present invention, a mixture of a perfluoroalkylalkylsilane and silane or mixture of silanes capable of hydrolysis to silica gel is applied to the surface of glass to form a o coating which is more durable than would have been formed without the silane or mixture of silanes capable of hydrolysis to silica gel.
Perfluoroalkylalkylsilane and hydrolyzable silane are applied to the surface of a substrate to produce the 15 article of the present invention preferably as a colloidal suspension or solution, preferably in an aprotic solvent, preferably an alkane or mixture of alkanes, or a fluorinated solvent. The preferred solution of the present invention is applied to a substrate surface by any conventional technique 20 such as dipping, flowing, wiping or spraying. The solvent is evaporated and the composition forms a durable, non-wetting, lubricating surface with improved abrasion resistance. The present invention provides the durability benefits of a primer without the additional step of applying a separate primer 25 layer. The use of the completely hydrolyzable silane improves the humidity, ultraviolet light, and abrasion resistance of the silane surface treatment as measured by the Cleveland Con~en.qing Cabinet, Q W (with FS40 or B313 lamps), and wet sled abrasion tests, indicatin~ a longer useful product 30 lifetime.
Preferred silanes capable of hydrolysis to silica gel have the general formula SiX4, wherein X is a radical such ~ 2161~8 as halogen, alkoxy, or acyl, preferably chloro, bromo, iodo, methoxy, ethoxy, and acetoxy. Preferred hydrolyzable silanes include tetrachlorosilane and tetraacetoxysilane.
The silanes, SiX4, serve two functions. One is to s become part of the coating and impart resistance to weathering and abrasion. Another function is to dry the solvent.
Typical hydrocarbon solvents can contain 50 to 200 ppm of water. Other solvents can be much higher in water content.
For example, a solvent containing 200 ppm water would have enough water present to deactivate a perfluoroalkylalkylsilane at 0.5 weight percent concentration. The completely hydrolyzable silane is capable of eliminating or reducing the water content of the solvent prior to perfluoroalkylalkyl-silane addition. Otherwise, water deactivation of the perfluoroalkylalkylsilane would lead to insufficient coating deposition or very poor durability.
Preferred perfluoroalkylalkylsilanes have the general formula RmR nSiX4 m n, wherein R is a perfluoroalkyl-alkyl radical; m is typically one, n is typically zero or one, and m+n is less than 4; R is a vinyl or an alkyl radical, preferably methyl, ethyl, vinyl or propyl; and X is preferably a radical such as halogen, acyloxy, and/or alkoxy. Preferred perfluoroalkyl moieties in the perfluoroalkylalkyl radicals range from CF3 to C30~61, preferably C6F13 to C18F37, and most preferably C8F17 to C12F25; the alkyl moiety is preferably ethyl. R' is preferably methyl or ethyl. Preferred radicals for X include hydrolyzable chloro, bromo, iodo, methoxy, ethoxy and acetoxy radicals. Preferred perfluoroalkylalkyl-silanes in accordance with the present invention include 30 perfluoroalkylethyltrichlorosilane, perfluoroalkylethyl-trimethoxysilane, perfluoroalkylethyltriacetoxysilane, '' 21612~8 perfluoroalkylethyldichloro(methyl)silane and perfluoro-alkylethyldiethoxy(methyl)silane.
These preferred perfluoroalkylethylsilanes appear to react with bon~;ng sites at the substrate surface on a s molecular basis. Strong surface bonding of the perfluoro-alkylethylsilanes produces a durable substrate surface which exhibits a high contact angle with a drop of water, indicating high water repellency.
Suitable solvents include isopropanol, ethanol, 10 h~x~ne, heptane, mineral spirits, acetone, toluene and naphtha. Preferred solvents are alkanes or halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as trichlorotrifluoroethane, and methylene chloride, and perfluorinated organic compounds such as perfluorocarbons. Concentrations of about 0.005 to 50, 15 preferably about 0.05 to 5, percent of silane are preferred.
The solvent is preferably evaporated simply by drying in air at ambient temperature, or may be ,el~oved by wiping. The silanes may also be crosslinked to form a more durable coating. Preferably, curing is accomplished by heating the 20 silane treated surface. Typically, curing temperatures of at least 150F (about 66C) are preferred, particularly above 200 F (about 93C). A cure cycle of about 200F (about 93C) for about 30 minutes is suitable. Higher temperatures and shorter heating times may be more efficient. A cure cycle of 2 to 5 25 minutes at 400 to 500F (about 204 to 260C) may be preferred, particularly about 3 minutes at about 470F (about 243C). The substrate surfaces may, in the alternative, be contacted with perfluoroalkylalkylsilane in vapor form.
The contact angles recited herein are measured by 30 the sessile drop method using a modified captive bubble indicator manufactured by Lord Manufacturing, Inc., equipped with Gaertner Scientific goniometer optics. The surface to be 2l6l~8 measured is placed in a horizontal position, facing upward, in front of a light source. A drop of water is placed on top of the surface in front of the light source so that the profile of the sessile drop can be viewed and the contact angle 5 measured through the goniometer telescope equipped with circular protractor graduation.
Weathering chambers include the Cleveland Co~n~ing Cabinet (CCC) and Q W Tester (products of The Q-Panel Company, Cleveland, OH). The CCC chamber was operated at a vapor temperature of 140F (60C) in an indoor ambient environment which resulted in constant water condensation on the test surface. The Q W Tester is operated with cycles of 8 hours W
(either B313 or FS40 lamps) at black panel temperature of 65-70C and 4 hours condensing humidity at 50C.
The present invention will be further understood from the descriptions of specific examples which follow.
F~Xz~MPLE I
A solution was prepared by mixing one gram of tetrachlorosilane and one gram of perfluoroalkylalkylsilane in 40 grams of trichlorotrifluoroethane (Freon~ TF solvent, a product of DuPont).- The perfluoroalkylalkylsilane comprised perfluoroalkylethyltrichlorosilanes, wherein the perfluoroalkyl moieties comprised primarily C6Fl3 to Cl8F37. For 25 comparison, a control solution was mixed without the tetrachlorosilane. The solutions were applied to the atmosphere surface of 3.9 millimeter thick Solex~ float glass (product of PPG Industries, Inc.) with a cotton pad. Coupons were cured at 200F (93C) for one hour. The excess silane was 30 removed from the glass surfaces by solvent washing. Coupons were weathered in the CCC and Q W -FS40 weathering cabinets.
Coating efficiency was measured by the contact angle of a sessile drop of water. The results are shown in the following table.

Four solutions were prepared, each of which was 0.5 percent by weight perfluorohexylethyltrichlorosilane in Isopar L solvent (product of Exxon), a mixture of alkanes. The 20 solutions had tetrachlorosilane concentrations of 0.0, 0.2, 0.45, and 0.79 percent by weight. The order of addition was Isopar L, tetrachlorosilane and perfluoroalkylethyl-trichlorosilane to utilize the reactive drying of the solvent by the hydrolyzable tetrachlorosilane. These four solutions 25 were coated on the tin surface of coupons of 0.182 inch (4.6 millimeter) thick clear float glass. Samples were tested in the CCC chamber. Coating efficiency was measured by the contact angle of a sessile drop of water. It can be seen in the following table that increasing the concentration of 30 hydrolyzable silane within this range improves the durability of the perfluoroalkylalkylsilane surface treatment.

Solutions were prepared comprising 0.5 percent by weight perfluoroalkylethyltrichlorosilane with and without 0.5 percent by weight tetrachlorosilane in Isopar L solvent.
Three perfluoroalkylethyltrichlorosilanes were employed:
lH,lH,2H,2H-tridecafluorooctyltrichlorosilane ("octyl"), lH,lH,2H,2H-heptadecafluorodecyltrichlorosilane ("decylN), or a mixture of perfluoroalkylethyltrichlorosilanes described in Example I. Tempered Solex~ glass coupons and clear float 20 glass coupons that had undergone a heat treatment which simulates a bending cycle (without bending significantly) were used in this study. The Solex glass was 0.157 inch (4 millimeters) thick, the clear float was 0.090 inch (2.3 millimeters) thick, and the tin surfaces were treated.
25 Samples were tested in the Q W B-313 chamber and on a Wet Sled Abrader (Sheen Instruments LTD, Model 903). The Wet Sled Abrader was custom modified with an aluminum block which held two automotive windshield wiper blades. The wet sled abrasion test thus configured has an unusually high pressure wiper arm 30 loading and is done partially wet and partially dry. These wiper strokes are much more severe than normally used in vehicles. Coating efficiency was measured by the contact ~- 21612~8 angle of a sessile drop of water. The plus sign ~+n refers to the presence of tetrachlorosilane in the coating formulations in the following tables.

Concentrations of about 0.005 to 50, 15 preferably about 0.05 to 5, percent of silane are preferred.
The solvent is preferably evaporated simply by drying in air at ambient temperature, or may be ,el~oved by wiping. The silanes may also be crosslinked to form a more durable coating. Preferably, curing is accomplished by heating the 20 silane treated surface. Typically, curing temperatures of at least 150F (about 66C) are preferred, particularly above 200 F (about 93C). A cure cycle of about 200F (about 93C) for about 30 minutes is suitable. Higher temperatures and shorter heating times may be more efficient. A cure cycle of 2 to 5 25 minutes at 400 to 500F (about 204 to 260C) may be preferred, particularly about 3 minutes at about 470F (about 243C). The substrate surfaces may, in the alternative, be contacted with perfluoroalkylalkylsilane in vapor form.
The contact angles recited herein are measured by 30 the sessile drop method using a modified captive bubble indicator manufactured by Lord Manufacturing, Inc., equipped with Gaertner Scientific goniometer optics. The surface to be 2l6l~8 measured is placed in a horizontal position, facing upward, in front of a light source. A drop of water is placed on top of the surface in front of the light source so that the profile of the sessile drop can be viewed and the contact angle 5 measured through the goniometer telescope equipped with circular protractor graduation.
Weathering chambers include the Cleveland Co~n~ing Cabinet (CCC) and Q W Tester (products of The Q-Panel Company, Cleveland, OH). The CCC chamber was operated at a vapor temperature of 140F (60C) in an indoor ambient environment which resulted in constant water condensation on the test surface. The Q W Tester is operated with cycles of 8 hours W
(either B313 or FS40 lamps) at black panel temperature of 65-70C and 4 hours condensing humidity at 50C.
The present invention will be further understood from the descriptions of specific examples which follow.
F~Xz~MPLE I
A solution was prepared by mixing one gram of tetrachlorosilane and one gram of perfluoroalkylalkylsilane in 40 grams of trichlorotrifluoroethane (Freon~ TF solvent, a product of DuPont).- The perfluoroalkylalkylsilane comprised perfluoroalkylethyltrichlorosilanes, wherein the perfluoroalkyl moieties comprised primarily C6Fl3 to Cl8F37. For 25 comparison, a control solution was mixed without the tetrachlorosilane. The solutions were applied to the atmosphere surface of 3.9 millimeter thick Solex~ float glass (product of PPG Industries, Inc.) with a cotton pad. Coupons were cured at 200F (93C) for one hour. The excess silane was 30 removed from the glass surfaces by solvent washing. Coupons were weathered in the CCC and Q W -FS40 weathering cabinets.
Coating efficiency was measured by the contact angle of a sessile drop of water. The results are shown in the following table.

Four solutions were prepared, each of which was 0.5 percent by weight perfluorohexylethyltrichlorosilane in Isopar L solvent (product of Exxon), a mixture of alkanes. The 20 solutions had tetrachlorosilane concentrations of 0.0, 0.2, 0.45, and 0.79 percent by weight. The order of addition was Isopar L, tetrachlorosilane and perfluoroalkylethyl-trichlorosilane to utilize the reactive drying of the solvent by the hydrolyzable tetrachlorosilane. These four solutions 25 were coated on the tin surface of coupons of 0.182 inch (4.6 millimeter) thick clear float glass. Samples were tested in the CCC chamber. Coating efficiency was measured by the contact angle of a sessile drop of water. It can be seen in the following table that increasing the concentration of 30 hydrolyzable silane within this range improves the durability of the perfluoroalkylalkylsilane surface treatment.

Solutions were prepared comprising 0.5 percent by weight perfluoroalkylethyltrichlorosilane with and without 0.5 percent by weight tetrachlorosilane in Isopar L solvent.
Three perfluoroalkylethyltrichlorosilanes were employed:
lH,lH,2H,2H-tridecafluorooctyltrichlorosilane ("octyl"), lH,lH,2H,2H-heptadecafluorodecyltrichlorosilane ("decylN), or a mixture of perfluoroalkylethyltrichlorosilanes described in Example I. Tempered Solex~ glass coupons and clear float 20 glass coupons that had undergone a heat treatment which simulates a bending cycle (without bending significantly) were used in this study. The Solex glass was 0.157 inch (4 millimeters) thick, the clear float was 0.090 inch (2.3 millimeters) thick, and the tin surfaces were treated.
25 Samples were tested in the Q W B-313 chamber and on a Wet Sled Abrader (Sheen Instruments LTD, Model 903). The Wet Sled Abrader was custom modified with an aluminum block which held two automotive windshield wiper blades. The wet sled abrasion test thus configured has an unusually high pressure wiper arm 30 loading and is done partially wet and partially dry. These wiper strokes are much more severe than normally used in vehicles. Coating efficiency was measured by the contact ~- 21612~8 angle of a sessile drop of water. The plus sign ~+n refers to the presence of tetrachlorosilane in the coating formulations in the following tables.
