EP 2 546 057 A1 Printed by Jouve, 75001 PARIS (FR) EP 2 546 057 A1 Description Technical Field 5 [0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle member and a manufacturing method therefor. Background Art [0002] A glass plate is disposed as a window member in a window opening of an automobile and other vehicles. 10 Recently, use of a transparent resin plate in place of a glass plate as the window member has been proposed for weight reduction of automobiles and other vehicles. In particular, an aromatic-polycarbonate-based transparent resin plate is excellent in fracture resistance, transparency, lightness, workability, etc., and is thus a promising material for a vehicle window member. [0003] A vehicle window member is required to have weather resistance because a vehicle is exposed to the outdoors. 15 Also as represented by vehicle washing, various forms of friction and other external forces are applied to a surface of avehicle window member. A vehiclewindow memberis thus requiredto exhibit high anti- wearperformance. In comparison to a glass plate, a transparent resin plate is low in surface hardness and thus readily loses transparency by becoming flawed or worn. There was thus a limit to using a transparent resin plate as a vehicle window member. [0004] Thus, normally a hard coat layer (protective film) having weather resistance and wear resistance is laminated 20 on a surface of a transparent resin plate proposed for use as a vehicle window (Patent Literatures 1 to 4). A coating agent for forming a hard coat layer of excellent weather resistance has also been proposed (Patent Literatures 5 and 6).

[0007] Thus, an object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle member having adequately excellent weather resistance and wear resistance. 45 Solution to Problem [0008] A vehicle member according to the present invention includes a molded body and a protective film disposed on a surface of the molded body and formed by curing of an active energy ray-curing composition.

The acrylic-based prepolymer having the hydroxyl group is a copolymer that includes an acrylic monomer (a1) having a piperidinyl group and a (meth)acryloyl group, an acrylic 55 monomer (a2) having a hydroxyl group and a (meth)acryloyl group, and another monomer (a3), as monomer units. [0009] The vehicle member according to the present invention has adequately excellent weather resistance and wear resistance. [0010] Preferably, the active energy ray-curing prepolymer (A) has a number average molecular weight of 3000 to 2 EP 2 546 057 A1 100000.

[0012] The active energy ray- curing compound (C) preferably includes a compound (C1) having a (meth) acryloyl group 5 and a group expressed by -(CH2)5-. The compound (C1) is preferably a compound expressed by the following general formula (1). 10 15 20 25 [0013] In formula (1), R1 indicates a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, a plurality of R 1 in the same molecule may be the same or different, and n, m, l, o, p, and q indicate integers satisfying n+m+l+o+p+q=1 to 12. Preferably, n, m, l, o, p, and q are integers satisfying n+m+l+o+p+q=6 to 12. 30 [0014] The active energy ray-curing compound (C) preferably further includes a compound (C2) having a (meth) acryloyl group and no group expressed by -(CH 2)5-.
