However, there is no change the appli applications including containers, automobile instrument cation of two or more layers. panels and outer plates, window materials, roof materials, 0009 Meanwhile, coating agents capable of realizing wrapping materials, various housing materials, optical disc excellent hardness and abrasion resistance even if applied in Substrates, plastic lenses, base materials in display devices a single layer have been investigated. Heretofore, composi Such as liquid crystal displays, plasma displays, projection tions of colloidal silica and multifunctional acrylates, TVs, etc. hydrolysis condensate compositions of colloidal silica and a 0003. Among them, for examples, resin materials such as specific silicate, and curable resin compositions of the above polycarbonates, polymethyl methacrylate, polyethylene and a polyfunctional acrylate, an epoxy resin, a phenoxy resin terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, styrene-based res or the like, or compositions of the above compositions and an ins including acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer acryl resin, etc. have been widely investigated as organic (ABS), methyl methacrylate-styrene copolymer (MS resin), inorganic composite coating agents. However, they had prob acrylonitrile styrene copolymer (AS resin) etc., vinyl chlo lems of insufficient-hardness and abrasion resistance, poor ride-based resins, cellulose acetate including triacetyl cellu stability in the form of a coating liquid, or insufficient envi lose are Suitable for the above applications, because they are ronmental properties (moisture resistance, heat resistance, excellent particularly in lightweights, easy processability, etc.) of cured films, etc. As compared with them, an active impact resistances, etc. energy ray-curable coating agent including a compound 0004. However, these plastic products are easily damaged obtained by reacting a polyfunctional acrylate with a colloi due to low Surface hardness. Transparent resins such as a dal silica as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,378,735 (JP-A polycarbonate and polyethylene terephthalate have a defect 5-287215) and U.S. Pat. No. 6,160,067 (JP-A9-100111) has that their inherent transparency or appearance is conspicu more excellent hardness and abrasion resistance, even if ously damaged. Thus, this makes it difficult for the plastic coated in a single layer, than conventional organic-inorganic products to be used in fields requiring abrasion resistance. composite coating agents. However, since they had low anti 0005 Under the circumstances, active energy ray-curable fouling property and weatherability, and further sufficient hard coat materials (coating materials) giving abrasion resis Surface curing cannot be realized when they are applied in the tance to the Surfaces of the plastic products have been sought. form of a thin film, it was difficult to realize the physical However, since cured layers of commercially available, properties that should essentially appear. active energy ray-curable hard coat materials are largely (0010. Further, for example, as shown in JP-A 10-316864, shrunk to cause warping, peeling off or cracking, it is difficult a method for using a polymerized UV curable resin is pro to coat them thick. Consequently, there was a limit on the posed to decrease shrinkage.

In order to solve such problems, various active adopted in applications requiring further reduction in shrink energy ray-curable coating materials have been recently pro age or applications requiring higher hardness and scratching posed, which would realize hardness and abrasion resistance resistance, in addition, the resin is Susceptible to interruption that exceed those in the conventional methods. For example, on curing with oxygen, and particularly has a problem in JP-A 11-309814 discloses that abrasion resistance is largely curing a thin film (for example, film thickness: at most 2 um). improved by coating two or more layers of coating agents, Furthermore, since a cured degree in a surface portion is low while using an inorganic coating agent having a coated film even in the case that the film is not thin, there are many formability, such as polysilaxane, for the outermost layer. problems in the durability of the physical properties.
