Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of novel functional materials and surface coating technology. Specifically, it is a coating for the protection of marine vessels, underwater buildings and structures, especially a washable, wear-resistant, antifouling and environmentally friendly coating for ships. Background Technology

[0002] Marine coatings, due to their need to withstand strong ultraviolet radiation, salt spray and high-salinity seawater erosion, water flow impact, and the abrasion caused by the attachment and secretions of marine organisms, require high levels of corrosion resistance, weather resistance, and adhesion resistance. While current marine coatings have achieved ideal results in corrosion and weather resistance, they still fall short of satisfactory results in preventing the attachment of marine organisms such as algae, shellfish, and especially barnacles.

[0003] The antifouling principle of antifouling coatings relies on two main methods: one is to use toxic chemicals (such as organotin and copper compounds) to poison marine organisms, or to release irritants that repel marine organisms, thereby preventing biofouling. However, due to the serious pollution caused by organotin and other toxic substances to the marine ecosystem, their use has been restricted or banned by international conventions. The development of environmentally friendly antifouling coatings, especially Wuxi self-polishing antifouling coatings, has been a research focus in recent years, as exemplified by CN116731574A's "Wuxi Self-Polishing Antifouling Coating" (application date: 2023-07-05, publication date: 2023-09-12). Self-polishing coatings are further divided into hydrolyzable and ion-exchange types. Hydrolyzable coatings involve covalently grafting the antifouling agent onto the main chain of a hydrolyzable polymer material, while ion-exchange coatings involve the antifouling agent being covalently linked to the main chain of a methacrylate copolymer via ester bonds or other bonds. The former releases the antifouling agent slowly through the hydrolysis of the covalent bonds between the antifouling agent and the resin or the resin main chain, while the latter releases it slowly through the exchange of high-valence metal ions in the antifouling agent with sodium ions in seawater. Simultaneously, the hydrolyzed resin on the coating surface is detached under the scouring action of seawater, thus continuously maintaining the effective concentration of the antifouling agent on the coating surface and keeping the coating surface clean and smooth, exhibiting a self-polishing effect to reduce biofouling. Furthermore, since self-polishing requires a certain water flow velocity, and ships are not always at high speeds, barnacles and other organisms attach to them when the ship is stationary or at low speeds. Therefore, even ships using self-polishing antifouling coatings need to periodically or irregularly clean the attached marine organisms, especially barnacles, using high-pressure water, underwater robots, or manual cleaning. This places high demands on the abrasion resistance of the antifouling coating. However, because the surface layer of this self-polishing material needs to detach under the action of water flow, the material has poor abrasion resistance. During underwater robot cleaning, the coating is easily damaged by mechanical forces, making it difficult to achieve a long-term, effective antifouling effect.

[0004] Lowering the surface free energy of the coating increases its hydrophobicity and also provides some antifouling effect. However, since the ship's hull is a metal with high surface free energy, the large difference in surface energy between the two leads to poor wettability of the low surface free energy coating on the coated surface, resulting in reduced adhesion. Under the mechanical force of high-pressure water or cleaning robots, there is a risk of coating peeling and falling off.

[0005] Another type of coating that combines wear resistance and antifouling properties involves adding fillers such as nano-silica, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and alumina to the coating. This increases hardness and thus wear resistance. Low surface energy materials are often added or synthesized, as seen in CN119060632A "An antifouling, super-slippery, hydrophobic coating and its preparation method and application" (application date: 2024-08-30, publication date: 2024-12-03) and CN110527390A "A low surface energy antifouling coating" (application date: 2019-09-11, publication date: 2019-12-03). However, existing wear-resistant and antifouling coatings of this type suffer from issues with the compatibility of filler polarity with resin polarity and surface free energy. The dispersion and stability of nanomaterials are also poor, leading to a weakening of the antifouling effect after long-term use. Furthermore, the wear resistance of the coating still fails to meet the requirements of mechanical cleaning.

[0006] The challenge in coating development lies in the fact that the physical and chemical properties of the coating formed after curing depend on the properties of the film-forming resin and functional additives, as well as the interactions between the film-forming substance and the functional additives and solvents, such as compatibility and dispersibility, and the curing effect of the coating. Often, adjusting the composition can improve one performance aspect while potentially decreasing others. For example, there's the contradiction between the self-polishing effect required by self-polishing coatings and the coating's abrasion resistance and mechanical strength; or the contradiction between the high abrasion resistance resulting from high abrasion-resistant filler content in abrasion-resistant coatings and the decreased mechanical properties due to poor dispersibility. Therefore, coating component design often suffers from trade-offs. While improving a single performance aspect is relatively easy, simultaneously improving comprehensive performance, especially multiple contradictory properties, is significantly more difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of the above-mentioned problems of existing antifouling coatings for underwater substrates such as ships, the purpose of this invention is to provide an ultra-wear-resistant antifouling coating and a preparation method. Through the design of a new coating system, this coating has the characteristics of being environmentally friendly, having good wear resistance and strong antifouling ability, and is particularly suitable for waterproofing, corrosion prevention and antimicrobial adhesion of ships or underwater buildings and structures.

[0008] The ultra-wear-resistant and anti-fouling coating provided by this invention comprises the following main components and their weight parts:

[0009] 40-60 parts epoxy resin

[0010] 4-6 parts of fluorocarbon resin

[0011] 12-18 parts of organosilane modified nano-hard wear-resistant filler

[0012] 4-8 parts of barrier packing

[0013] 2-6 parts of environmentally friendly antifouling agent

[0014] 10-15 parts of polyamide curing agent

[0015] 1-3 parts of polymeric dispersant

[0016] 10-20 parts of environmentally friendly solvent.

[0017] To further explain, the ultra-wear-resistant and anti-fouling coating of the present invention may, as needed, include one or more of leveling agents, defoamers, and pigments.

[0018] Preferably, the fluorocarbon resin is polytetrafluoroethylene-vinyl ether resin (FEVE) and / or polyacrylate-fluorinated polysiloxane copolymer.

[0019] Preferably, the nano-hard wear-resistant filler is one or more of nano-alumina, nano-titanium carbide, and nano-silicon carbide with a Mohs hardness of not less than 9, so as to make the coating have high hardness and good wear resistance. After modification with organosilane, the epoxy groups in the organosilane modify the surface of fillers such as alumina, changing them from hydrophilic to hydrophobic, improving compatibility with the organic matrix, reducing particle agglomeration, and improving dispersibility; the silanol groups (-SiOH) in the organosilane react with the hydroxyl groups (-OH) on the surface of alumina to form covalent bonds (Al-O-Si) or combine with the lone pair electrons on the surface of titanium carbide and silicon carbide to form covalent bonds, while the organic end combines with the polymer matrix, significantly improving the interfacial adhesion strength; the modified nano-wear-resistant filler has better chemical stability in high temperature or humid environments and reduces interfacial defects.

[0020] The preferred barrier fillers are boron carbide and / or graphene. The two-dimensional sheet structure of graphene forms a physical barrier layer in the coating, while boron carbide can fill the pores in the coating to make it denser and enhance its impermeability, delaying the penetration of corrosive media into the coating. Both can also improve the mechanical strength of the coating. Together with high-hardness hard fillers, they further improve the wear resistance of the coating. In particular, graphene can reduce the coefficient of friction of the paint and give the coating self-healing ability, improving its wear resistance against high-pressure water cleaning and underwater cleaning by robots, as well as the coating layer's resistance to cracking.

[0021] The antifouling agent is preferably environmentally friendly copper pyridine thione and bromopyrrolidinone, which interfere with the physiological activities of marine organisms by releasing active groups, inhibiting their adhesion and growth on the coating surface, and meeting environmental protection requirements.

[0022] The epoxy resin is preferably bisphenol A type, with epoxy groups providing reactive crosslinking properties, benzene rings providing abrasion resistance and chemical stability, and hydroxyl groups providing adhesion. The curing agent is preferably polyamide, with amino groups providing reactive crosslinking properties, such as G640 and BS-8140.

[0023] The environmentally friendly solvent is preferably a mixture of one or more of xylene, n-butanol, dimethyl carbonate, or butyl acetate.

[0024] The preferred polymeric dispersants are BYK-161 and SOLSPERSE 32500.

[0025] The present invention further provides a method for producing an ultra-wear-resistant and anti-fouling coating, comprising the following steps:

[0026] (1) Ingredients: Weigh each ingredient according to the proportions;

[0027] (2) Premixing: Add epoxy resin, fluorocarbon resin, solvent and polymeric dispersant together into a mixing tank and stir until homogeneous;

[0028] (3) Filler modification: Add nano-hard wear-resistant filler and barrier filler to organic solvent, add organosilane coupling agent, stir and react at 60-80℃ for 2-3 hours, then filter and dry to obtain modified filler;

[0029] (4) Adding filler: The modified filler from step (3) is gradually added to the premixed mixing vessel from step (2) and stirred at high speed at about 1200 rpm to ensure that the filler is evenly dispersed;

[0030] (5) Add antifouling agent: Add copper pyridinethione and bromopyrrolidinone to the mixture, and then grind it in a sand mill until the fineness is qualified;

[0031] (6) Filtration: Pass the ground coating through a filter to remove impurities and then package it;

[0032] (7) Curing agent: The curing agent is prepared separately and filtered and packaged.

[0033] The paint and hardener are packaged separately and mixed before application to ensure that the paint does not deteriorate during long-term storage.

[0034] This invention relates to an ultra-wear-resistant and antifouling coating, which, through the complementary and synergistic functions of its components, forms a comprehensive protective system with high impermeability, corrosion resistance, fouling resistance, and wear resistance. The film-forming material, primarily epoxy resin, is cross-linked with a polyamide curing agent. Combined with the modification of nano-high-hardness fillers by organosilane coupling agents, the coating is firmly bonded to the substrate and does not detach under cleaning forces. The modified nano-high-hardness wear-resistant fillers, along with boron carbide and graphene two-dimensional sheet fillers, work together to give the coating extremely high wear resistance. The presence of graphene imparts a certain degree of self-healing ability to the coating, improving its durability. Modified fluorocarbon resin endows the coating with low surface energy and superhydrophobic properties, synergistically enhancing the antifouling function of the coating with the antifouling agent. Environmentally friendly solvents and antifouling agents are used, reducing environmental pollution. This coating is particularly suitable for the surface protection of marine vessel hulls and can also be used for the protection of underwater structures and buildings such as drilling platforms.
