Abstract
A composition for producing a water repellent surface on a substrate such as glass, plastic, metal, organic polymer coated substrates or inorganic coated substrates includes a perfluoroalkylalkylsilane selected from compounds having the general formula RmR'nSiX4-m-n where R is a perfluoroalkylalkyl radical, R' is a vinyl or an alkyl radical, m+n is less than 4, and X is a halogen, alkoxy or an acyloxy radical and a completely hydrolyzable silane or siloxane selected from silanes and siloxanes. The nonwetting property, as measured by contact angle of a drop of water on the substrate surface treated with the foregoing compound, is more durable than the nonwetting property of a surface treated with the same perfluoroalkylalkylsilane without the completely hydrolyzable silane or siloxane.

In Li.S. Patent No. 5,328,768 Goodwin discloses a to glass substratE: the ~;urface of which is treated with first a silica primer 7_ayer and second a perfluoroalkylalkyl silane.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a substrate surface is with high water. repel.lency and high lubricity. The durability of the water and dirt: repellency of a substrate surface is improved by applying to the substrate surface a perfluoro-alkylalkylsilane compound and a hydrolyzable silane or siloxane compound. The hydrolyzable silane or siloxane zo compound is a compound capable of hydrolytic condensation to form silica ge=L and functions as an integral primer compound.
The surface treatment: of the present invention provides enhanced durability t:o the water and dirt repellent surface without requiring a :separate primer layer. High water 2s repellency and lubric:ity are provided by perfluoroalkylalkyl-silane. The h~,rdrolyzable silane or siloxane also provides for reactive dryin<1 of the solvent. The perfluoroalkylalkylsilane and hydrolyzab:Le silane or siloxane surface treatment of the present invent:LOn al:~o provides enhanced abrasion resistance 3o to the substrate surface. Increased resistance to humidity, ultraviolet radiation and mechanical abrasion are provided by 2m~s~a the silane or ;~iloxane compound capable of hydrolytic condensation to silica gel.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
s Durability of rain and soil repellency provided by application of a perfluoroalkylalkylsilane to a substrate surface is enh;~nced by mixing a silane, siloxane or mixture of silane and/or ;siloxane compounds capable of hydrolysis to silica gel with a perfluoroalkylalkylsilane prior to io application. In accordance with the present invention, a mixture of a perfluoroalkylalkylsilane and silane, siloxane or mixture of sil;~ne and/or siloxane compounds capable of hydrolysis to ~~ilica gel is applied to the surface of glass to form a coating which is more durable than would have been is formed without the silane, siloxane or mixture of silane and/or siloxan~~ compounds capable of hydrolysis to silica gel.
Per:Eluoroalkylalkylsilane and hydrolyzable silane and/or siloxan~~ are applied to the surface of a substrate to produce the article of the present invention preferably as a 2o 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 such as dipping, flowing, wiping or 2s spraying. The silane reacts with the substrate surface, and excess solution is removed, providing 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 30 layer. The use of t:he completely hydrolyzable silane and/or siloxane improves the humidity, ultraviolet light, and abrasion resistance of the silane surface treatment as measured by the Cl.evelan.d Condensing Cabinet, QW (with FS40 or B313 lamps), and wet sled abrasion tests, indicating a longer useful procluct lifetime.
Suitable silanes capable of hydrolysis to silica gel s have the general formula SiX'9wherein X'is a hydrolyzable radical generally selected from the group of halogens, alkoxy and acyloxy radicals.
Preferred silanes are those wherein X is preferably chloro, bromo, iodo, methoxy, ethoxy and acetoxy. Preferred io hydrolyzable silanes include tetrachlorosilane, tetramethoxy-silane and tetraacetoxysilane.
Suitable silo:xanes have the general formula SiYOZX"QY_ZZ, wherein X" is selected from the group of halogen, alkoxy and acyloxy radicals, y is two or more, and z is one or is more and 4y-2z is greater than zero. Preferred hydrolyzable siloxanes include hexach:Lorodisiloxane, octachlorotrisiloxane, and higher oligomer chlo:rosiloxa~nes.
The hydrolyzable silanes or siloxanes serve two functions. One is to become part of the coating and impart 2o resistance to weathering and abrasion. Another function is to dry the solvent. 'Typica:l 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 partially hydrolyze 2s the perfluoroalkyl~alkyls:ilane at 0.5 weight percent concentration. The comp:Letely hydrolyzable silane or siloxane is capable of eliminatin<~ or reducing the water content of the ,solvent prior to p~~rfluo~roalkylalkylsilane addition.
Otherwise, partially hydrolyzed perfluoroalkylalkylsilane 3o could result in insufficient coating deposition or very poor durability.
