Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of daily necessities, in particular to an insect repellent functional coating. Background Art

[0002] Currently, commercially available insect repellent coatings primarily utilize chemical insecticides to achieve their insect repellent function. A typical approach involves using pyrethroids, DEET, and other active chemical ingredients as core repellents, along with solvent-based carriers containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as benzene and formaldehyde. These coatings are then cured at high temperatures or with the addition of plasticizers to enhance film-forming properties. These coatings are primarily used in outdoor construction, agricultural facilities, and other applications. In the consumer goods sector,

[0003] Existing insect control solutions mostly rely on physical barriers (such as sealing strips) or short-term insect repellent sprays. The former can only block pest invasion but has no active repellent effect, while the latter is short-lived (usually less than 7 days) and requires frequent operation. There is no long-term environmentally friendly coating solution suitable for substrates such as plastics and metals. Summary of the Invention

[0004] One of the objects of the present invention is to provide an insect repellent functional coating.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: an insect repellent functional coating, comprising the following ingredients by mass percentage: 8%-12% of a natural insect repellent active substance, 5%-8% of a microcapsule encapsulating agent, 40%-55% of a water-based acrylic resin, 2%-3% of an adhesion promoter, 3%-5% of nano-titanium dioxide, 1%-2% of a hydrophobic modifier, and deionized water;

[0006] The natural insect repellent active substance is the core insect repellent component, the microcapsule encapsulation agent is a slow-release carrier, the water-based acrylic resin is an environmentally friendly substrate, the adhesion promoter is used to improve the adhesion of the substrate, the nano titanium dioxide is used for photocatalytic antibacterial, the hydrophobic modifier is used for antifouling, and the deionized water is used as a solvent.

[0007] Preferably, the natural insect repellent active ingredients include citronella oil and lemon eucalyptus oil. Both citronella oil and lemon eucalyptus oil are natural ingredients with broad-spectrum insect repellent functions, and have a repellent effect on cockroaches, fruit flies, and ants.

[0008] Preferably, the microcapsule encapsulation agent is a chitosan-silicon dioxide composite, which can control the active ingredient to be 0.5-1.2 mg / cm 2 The adhesion promoter is silane coupling agent KH-560, which can make the coating adhesion reach 4B level on plastic substrates and 5B level on metal substrates in the 100-degree test.

[0009] Preferably, the method comprises the following steps:

[0010] Step 1: Pre-emulsification: Mix the natural insect repellent active ingredient and the microcapsule encapsulation agent in a mass ratio of 1:0.6, add deionized water accounting for 30% of the total water volume, and emulsify at 50-60°C and 500 rpm for 30 minutes to form a microcapsule suspension with a particle size of 100-200 nm;

[0011] Step 2: Base material synthesis: add water-based acrylic resin, adhesion promoter, and nano-titanium dioxide into the reactor, control the temperature at 70-80°C, and stir at 200 rpm under nitrogen protection for 1 hour to form a uniform dispersion;

[0012] Step 3: Compounding and aging: slowly add the pre-emulsified microcapsule suspension to the base material, simultaneously add the hydrophobic modifier, and age at 40-50°C for 2 hours, controlling the viscosity at 200-300 mPa·s;

[0013] Step 4: Curing and forming: Apply the coating to the surface of the substrate with a wet film thickness of 50-80μm and use 80-100℃ hot air curing for 10 minutes or UV curing with a UV curing wavelength of 365nm and an irradiation intensity of 800mJ / cm 2 .

[0014] Preferably, the substrate includes a plastic or metal daily necessities substrate, and the insect repellent coating is applied to the surface of daily necessities, such as trash cans, municipal facilities, and similar items that require insect repellency, antibacterial properties, and antifouling properties. The recommended dosage is 2-3 g / dm2.

[0015] Preferably, the coating has a repellency rate of 85%-92% for cockroaches, fruit flies and ants within 30 days, a VOC content of less than 50 g / L, an inhibition rate for Escherichia coli of ≥99%, and a hydrophobic contact angle of ≥110°.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] The present invention adopts a water-based system instead of a solvent-based carrier through its formula, with a VOC content of less than 30g / L, which is more than 80% lower than that of traditional coatings. It eliminates harmful volatile substances such as benzene and formaldehyde from the source, and is suitable for daily contact scenarios such as trash cans to avoid toxic risks for children. The microcapsule sustained-release technology extends the release cycle of the active ingredient to 6-12 months, and the 30-day continuous repellency rate remains at 85%-92%. The average annual recoating frequency is reduced from 4-12 times to 1-2 times, and the maintenance cost is reduced by 70%. The improved adhesion solves the problem of easy peeling of traditional coatings. The adhesion of plastic substrates reaches level 4B and that of metal substrates reaches level 5B, ensuring that the coating can function stably and long-term. At the same time, the effects have been verified by standard tests such as GB / T31711-2015 and ASTMD3359.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] When used, the coating achieves insect repellent and multifunctional synergistic effects through a mechanism where natural insect repellent active substances (such as citronella oil and lemon eucalyptus oil) are encapsulated in chitosan-silica composite microcapsules to form a sustained-release carrier with a particle size of 100-200nm. After being coated on the surface of the substrate and cured, the microcapsules slowly break down under the influence of ambient humidity and temperature, releasing 0.5-1.2mg / cm 2 ·Continuously releases insect repellent ingredients at a rate of 24 hours, interfering with the chemical receptors of pests such as cockroaches, fruit flies, and ants by volatile odors, causing them to actively avoid the coating surface, achieving long-term repellency;

[0036] Water-based acrylic resin is used as the base material to form a continuous and dense paint film during the curing process, with a VOC content of less than 50g / L, meeting environmental protection and safety requirements; silane coupling agent KH-560 is used as an adhesion promoter to connect the resin with the surface of plastic, metal and other substrates through chemical bonding, so that the coating adhesion reaches level 4B (plastic) or level 5B (metal) in the Baige test, avoiding peeling and failure; nano-titanium dioxide produces a photocatalytic effect under light, destroying the cell membrane structure of microorganisms such as Escherichia coli, with a 24-hour antibacterial rate of ≥99%; fluorocarbon surfactant is used as a hydrophobic modifier to form a low-energy interface on the paint film surface, making the contact angle ≥110°, reducing stain adhesion and achieving anti-fouling function.
