Benefits of technology

[0023]According to the antifouling coating composition of the invention, it is possible to form an antifouling coating film that is unlikely to cause a hairline crack and like coating film defects even when immersed in seawater for a long time, and that prevents or inhibits attachment of slime.
[0024]The composition of the invention hardly thickens, or gelates or solidifies even after a long period of storage. Furthermore, the antifouling coating composition of the invention is environment-friendly, and thus substantially free from marine pollution even if dissolved in seawater.
[0025]The antifouling coating film of the invention is advantageous in that:1) It has excellent water resistance, and therefore cracking, peeling or the like is unlikely to occur and hairline cracking hardly occurs as well even if it is in contact with seawater for a long time; 2) It has a suitable hardness, and therefore cold flow or other defects is unlikely to occur in the resulting coating film; 3) It has a high adhesiveness to the object on which a coating film is formed; and 4) slime is hardly attached to the antifouling coating film even when it is immersed in seawater for a long time.
[0026]The coated object of the present invention is covered with the antifouling coating film having the characteristics of Items 1 to 4 described above. Therefore, it can be desirably applied to ships (in particular, ship bottoms), fishing tools, structures submerged in seawater, etc. For example, when the antifouling coating film is formed on the surface of a ship bottom, the antifouling coating film gradually dissolves from the surface, so that the coating film surface is always renewed. This prevents the adhesion of aquatic fouling organisms.
[0027]Furthermore, the antifouling coating film has a suitable solubility. Therefore, the ship can maintain the antifouling effect for a long time. In particular, even when the ship sails in a sea area having high water temperature, it can exhibit a long-term, antifouling effect, because the coating film dissolving rate is stable. In addition, even when the ships are not moving, for example, during anchorage, rigging, etc., it can exhibit a long-term, antifouling effect with little attachment or accumulation of aquatic fouling organisms (in particular, slime). This reduces the frictional resistance of the ships, and thus reduces the fuel cost while sailing.
[0028]Furthermore, the antifouling coating film on the surface is basically free from coating film defects even after a long period of time. For this reason, after using the coated object for a predetermined period, a new antifouling coating film can be desirably formed by directly recoating the antifouling coating film composition thereon. This makes it possible to continuously maintain the antifouling effect in a simple and inexpensive manner.EMBODIMENT FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION<Antifouling Coating Composition>

Problems solved by technology

However, when an antifouling coating film formed using an antifouling coating material containing the zinc salt or the copper salt is immersed in seawater for a long time, it causes a hairline crack (microcrack) and like coating film defects, and as a result, the antifouling effect deteriorates.
In addition, when the zinc salts or the copper salt is used, attachment of large fouling organisms of an animal system or a plant system can be prevented, but attachment of slime cannot be sufficiently prevented.

Production of Copolymer Solution A-1

[0143]230 g of xylene was charged to a 1,000 ml flask equipped with a thermometer, a reflux condenser, a stirrer, and a dropping funnel, after which a mixture of 270 g of triisopropylsilyl methacrylate, 50 g of methyl methacrylate, 130 g of 2-methoxyethyl methacrylate, 30 g of 2-methoxyethyl acrylate, 20 g of ethyl acrylate, and 4 g of t-butyl peroxy-2-ethyl hexanoate (initially added) was added dropwise into the flask over a period of 1 hour, while stirring at 100±2 deg. C. in a nitrogen atmosphere. After the dropwise addition, the polymerization reaction was performed for 2 hours at 100±2 deg. C. Then, while stirring the resulting reaction solution at 100±2 deg. C., 1 g of t-butyl peroxy-2-ethyl hexanoate (subsequently added) was added three times with 2-hour intervals to perform the polymerization reaction. After that, 270 g of xylene (additional solvent) was added and dissolved, thus producing the triorganosilyl ester-containing copolymer solu...

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The invention relates to an antifouling coating composition, an antifouling coating film formed using the composition, a coated object having the coating film on its surface, and a method of antifouling treatment by formation of the coating film.[0002]Conventionally, triorganosilyl group-containing copolymers which have low toxicity and are environment-friendly have been developed, and have been used for antifouling coating materials.[0003]When copolymers, such as tri-n-butylsilyl ester-containing copolymers, which are obtained by copolymerizing silyl ester-containing monomers having straight-chain alkyl groups, are used, the hydrolysis rate of the coating film is very large and water resistance is low, and therefore, it is difficult to control the coating film dissolving rate. For this reason, copolymers obtained by copolymerizing triorganosilyl ester-containing monomers with branched alkyl groups such as isopropyl, t-butyl, etc. have been tried to be used (Pat...
