Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a coating composition for preventing organisms from adhering to the surface of an underwater object.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Underwater objects such as ship bottoms, buoys, fishing nets (aquaculture nets, stationary nets), underwater pollution control membranes, and various water supply and drain pipes for cooling, which are immersed in seawater, have barnacles, cell plastics, Various obstacles occur due to adhesion of mussels, algae and the like. It is well known that in order to prevent fouling by these organisms, paints are applied which prevent the organisms from adhering to the surface of the underwater objects. At present, resins used for paints for preventing the attachment of marine organisms are roughly classified into hydrolyzable polymer-based resins and rosin-based resins.

[0003] The most typical hydrolyzable polymer system is an organic tin polymer. In a coating composed of an organic tin polymer, the coating is consumed by the hydrolysis of the organic tin group bonded to the polymer in seawater, and the activity of the coating surface is maintained. In addition, since the hydrolyzed organic tin compound also functions as an antifouling agent, marine organisms can be prevented from adhering for a long time. However, organotin compounds are highly accumulative in the environment, and their use is regulated due to concerns about environmental pollution. As a hydrolysis-type polymer replacing this organotin polymer, Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-32433,
A number of organic silyl group-containing polymers as disclosed in JP-A-215780, JP-A-7-102193, JP-A-8-199095 and the like have been proposed.

[0004] In addition, rosin-based paints are characterized in that rosin is slightly soluble in an alkaline solution and is slightly alkaline in seawater.
(pH = 7.8-8.2) to dissolve (pH = 8.8.
(8.6 × 10 ⁻⁵ mol / l in one seawater), and the antifouling agent can be effectively slowly released into the seawater. Rosin is widely used in marine antifouling paints due to its low solubility in seawater, and its use has been described in many publications. For example, "Color Material Engineering Handbook" (pages 821 to: edited by the Color Materials Association), "Paints and Coatings for Ships" (pages 70 to: Manabu Nakao, Ship Technology Association) and the like can be mentioned.

However, rosin alone is fragile in physical properties (the film-forming ability is extremely low due to its low molecular weight).
Therefore, it is necessary to blend another synthetic resin or the like to make up for this. To compensate for this weakness, a polymer having good compatibility with rosin must be used. If the compatibility is poor, the rosin and the polymer are separated, and the rosin aggregates exhibit physical weakness.

[0006] The blending of rosin and other polymers is proposed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 50-135125. JP-A-60-28456 discloses that the (self-polishing property) can be easily controlled.

[0007]

However, even when a polymer having good compatibility with rosin is blended, the initial coating film properties are good, but after long-term immersion, the coating film wear-out is reduced and the coating film properties are reduced. It was found that there were problems such as the occurrence of mechanical defects and a decrease in the effect of preventing marine organisms from adhering. Also,
In particular, for ships, after a certain period of service (about 1 to 3 years), the old paint film is recoated with new paint after service, and the old paint film is required to have a recoating property. found.

[0008] These defects or defects are caused by the fact that a polymer having good compatibility with rosin has low solubility in seawater as compared with rosin or has almost no solubility. This is because a so-called surface residue layer is formed as a previously dissolved (extracted) film. Since the blend polymer compensates for the physical weakness of rosin, a polymer having better film-forming ability than rosin, that is, a polymer having a higher molecular weight than rosin is required. This difference in molecular weight causes a difference in solubility between the rosin and the blend polymer. The residual layer increases due to immersion, so that the coating film wear-out is reduced, the physical property defects of the coating film due to the internal cohesive stress in the residual layer are generated, the effect of preventing the adhesion of marine organisms caused by these, the recoating property Decrease occurs.

As described above, although rosin has a very low solubility in seawater, which is a very suitable property as an anti-adhesion coating for marine organisms, there is no coating composition which makes use of the performance for a long time. It was. It is a hydrolyzable polymer that replaces the organotin polymer.
No. 33 or JP-A-63-215780 discloses a polymer having an organic silyl group as a hydrolyzable group. The coating does not dissolve, and when immersed in seawater, the coating falls off to prevent marine organism adhesion. Defects such as lack of suitability.

[0010] Then, the present inventors disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-1021.
No. 93 has found that the above-mentioned defects can be solved by using a specific polymer having an alkoxy group or an aryloxy polyethylene glycol group together with an organic silyl group. Further, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 8-199095, it has been found that a specific polymer having a hemiacetal ester group together with an organic silyl can also solve the above-mentioned disadvantages. However, in subsequent studies, even after immersion in seawater for a long time,
In particular, it was found that there was a problem with the recoating property, and that there was a problem with the marine organism adhesion prevention performance required for the outfitting period.

The above-mentioned outfitting period is a period in which a ship outer plate is built in a dock when a ship is built, and then the hull is floated in the ocean outside the dock to build a ship interior part, usually about three months. It is. During this period, the ship's hull is exposed to the ocean around the shipyard (in contrast to the open sea, it is a sea area with severe biofouling) while anchored, so it is compatible with the outfitting period, which is an unusual and more advanced marine organism adhesion prevention performance The marine organism adhesion prevention performance is required.

[0012] After the outfitting, the ship will go into service or
Enters the dock again, finishes service, and commences service. If biofouling occurs during this period, the fuel efficiency will be reduced from the start of the service, so the service cannot be started in such a state. In addition, even when re-entering the dock, it is necessary to remove attached organisms before entering service, which means that during the outfitting period, it can not serve as a marine organism adhesion prevention paint at all, that is, marine organism adhesion prevention paint must be used. It is the same as not applying.

The present inventors evaluated the marine organism adhesion prevention performance corresponding to the outfitting period so that the start of the immersion test would be the summer season when the biological fouling was most severe (the marine organism adhesion inhibitor was eluted immediately after immersion. Rather, it elutes after a certain period of time, so if the time immediately after the start of immersion is a period of severe biofouling, the possibility of organisms being attached increases, and the marine organism adhesion prevention performance evaluation that is generally adopted by the present inventors is evaluated. In Owase, Mie Prefecture, where the degree of biofouling is even more severe than in Aioi Bay, Hyogo Prefecture, which is a sea area, during the three months from July to September 1996, the water is normally immersed vertically to the sea surface, but the effect of sunlight A test method was devised in which immersion was performed horizontally so as to increase. According to this test method, the above-mentioned JP-A-7-102 was used.
As a result of evaluating the polymers disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 193 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-199095, it was found that there was a problem in the marine organism adhesion prevention performance corresponding to the outfitting period.

Therefore, according to the present invention, since no residual layer is formed on the surface of the coating film even after long-term immersion, defects such as cracks and peeling do not occur in the coating film properties, and the depletion of the coating film changes with time. The purpose of the present invention is to develop a coating composition which can exhibit a marine organism adhesion prevention performance over a long period of time without a certain speed, and has a good recoating property and a biological adhesion prevention function corresponding to an outfitting period.

[0015]

Means for Solving the Problems The present inventors have focused on the following points and have developed a target coating composition. The development of this coating composition can be achieved by not forming a residual layer on the coating film surface. For this purpose, the solubility of a polymer having good compatibility with rosin in seawater must be increased after immersion in seawater. The expression of such a function
This is only possible with polymers that undergo a chemical change before and after immersion in seawater. The polymer accompanied by the chemical change has good compatibility with the rosin-based resin before immersion in seawater, and after immersion in seawater, changes to hydrophilicity only on the surface of the coating film and can have a good dissolution rate.

The present inventors have proposed a blend polymer
Attention was paid to a polymer in which a carboxylic acid is protected by an organic silyl group. This polymer has good compatibility with rosin due to the low polarity of the organic silyl group, and due to the hydrolyzability of the organic silyl group, it undergoes a chemical change after immersion in seawater, and the solubility in seawater changes from insoluble to soluble. It changes greatly.
Organic tin-based polymers having similar hydrolyzability have higher polarity than the above-mentioned silyl-based polymers, so that they have poor compatibility with rosin and cannot exhibit functions like silyl-based polymers. Low polarity and hydrolyzability in seawater are very important for blending with rosin.

As a result of intensive studies on these points, it was found that a rosin-based compound such as rosin or a derivative thereof and an unsaturated compound having a triorganosilyl group as an essential component of a coating composition having an organic silyl group as a hydrolysis point. The problem of the conventional known technology is caused by using a copolymer of a monomer mixture containing a monomer and an unsaturated monomer having an alkoxy group or an aryloxy polyethylene glycol group and an antifouling agent. Solved the point. In other words, even after long-term immersion,
Since no residual layer is formed on the coating film surface, the coating film does not peel off, cracks, etc. in physical properties, does not change with time and has a constant speed or more. A rosin-based coating composition that can be demonstrated over a long period of time and has good recoating properties and good marine organism adhesion prevention performance for the outfitting period was successfully developed.

That is, the present invention provides: A) one or more rosin compounds selected from rosin, a rosin derivative or a rosin metal salt; and B) the following general formula: (Wherein, R1 to R3 are all groups selected from an alkyl group and an aryl group and may be the same or different from each other; X is an acryloyloxy group;
