AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text discusses the important of an anti-fouling coating that can absorb enough water to maintain a saturated solution of the active compound without causing blistering. It also explains that the ideal composition for one combination of salinity and water temperature is not necessarily ideal for another. However, a water absorption level of 1.5-6% is considered optimal.

Problems solved by technology

It is also clear that the ideal composition for one combination of salinity and water temperature is not necessarily ideal for another combination.

example 1

Preparing an Aerogel with App. 40% Encapsulated Active Compound (CuP) (Reference Example)

[0158]1. 6.9 g TMOS (Tetramethyl orthosilicate 98% from Aldrich), 3.2 g MTMS (methyltrimethoxysilane) and 40 g Ethanol was mixed on a magnetic stirrer in an Erlenmeyer flask for 15 minutes.[0159]2. 3.5 g Copper pyrithione was added slowly to 1) during mixing. The solution was mixed for additionally 15 minutes.[0160]3. 200 ml of ammonia solution (25%) was added dropwise to 2) during mixing at full speed (1500 RPM) on the magnetic stirrer. After additionally 2 minutes of mixing, the white opaque solution was transferred into a bluecap bottle. After approx. ½ hour, the gelation took place and the obtained gel was aged in methanol, for at least 24 hours at room temperature, before drying.[0161]4. The wet gel from 3) was cut into smaller pieces and transferred under ethanol to a ½ L pressure vessel (½ L flow reactor, equipped with heating jacket and metal frits in both ends). There the gel was flowed...

Preparing an Aerogel with App. 40% Encapsulated CuP from Pre-Condensated TMOS (Reference Example)

[0168]1. 10.5 g pre-condensated TMOS and 5.2 g MTMS was stirred on a magnetic stirrer in an Erlenmeyer flask for 15 minutes.[0169]2. 4.0 g Copper pyrithione was added slowly to 1) during mixing. The solution was mixed for additionally 15 minutes.[0170]3. 300 ml of ammonia solution (25%) was added dropwise to 2) during mixing at full speed (1500 RPM) on the magnetic stirrer. After additionally 2 minutes of mixing, the white opaque solution was transferred into a bluecap bottle. After approx. 45 minutes, the gelation took place and the obtained gel was aged in methanol, for 24 hours at room temperature, before drying.[0171]4. The wet gel from 3) was cut into smaller pieces and transferred under ethanol to a ½ L pressure vessel (½ L flow reactor, equipped with heating jacket and metal frits in both ends). There the gel was flowed with ½ L of ethanol at 0.5 mL / min. Then the temperature in th...

Preparing an Aerogel with App 80% Encapsulated Biocide (CuP)

[0172]1. Solution 1: 0.64 kg TMOS (Tetramethyl orthosilicate 98% from Aldrich), 0.32 kg MTMS (methyltrimethoxysilane), 3.2 kg Ethanol and 1.77 kg Copper pyrithione was mixed in a 10-Itr vessel and agitated vigorously with a paddle mixer.[0173]2. Solution 2: 0.64 kg Ethanol, 0.32 kg Water and 10 ml of ammonia solution (concentrated) is mixed.[0174]3. Solution 2 is added to solution 1 at identical mixing conditions as in (1) for 20-25 minutes at 125 rpm. Mixing speed is reduced until signs of gelling takes approx. 15 minutes (100 rpm). The gelling time is 30 minutes.[0175]4. The gel is stored in plastic containers for 4-5 days after which it is transferred to the extractor(s).[0176]The wet gel from 3) was cut into smaller pieces and transferred under ethanol to a 5 or 10 L pressure vessel (flow reactor, equipped with heating jacket and metal frits in both ends). There the gel was flowed with ½ L of ethanol at 0.5 mL / min. Then...

Abstract

The present invention relates to silica aerogels with a high to very high loading (60-90% w / w) of encapsulated biocidal and / or biorepellant compounds and to methods of making and using such aerogels in anti-fouling compositions, which are especially suitable for marine use.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to silica aerogels with a high to very high loading (60-90% w / w) of encapsulated biocidal and / or biorepellant compounds and to methods of making and using such aerogels in anti-fouling compositions, which are especially suitable for marine use.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Biocides and biorepellents are substances that are used to prevent unwanted growth of biological organisms from buildings, installations, or other areas. Biocides and biorepellents are typically added to products such as protective coatings, paints and lacquers which may be applied to areas susceptible to such unwanted growth.[0003]Protective coatings applied for exterior or interior use typically have two basic functions, protection, and decoration. Attack of biological organisms such as e.g. fungi and algae—either in the wet state or at the painted surface—can impair both the protection rendered by the paint film and its decorative effect.[0004]Ship su...
