Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application specifically relates to an antifouling coating composition, a preparation method thereof and applications. Background Art

[0002] Ships, oil platforms, buoys, and other facilities submerged in seawater for extended periods often harbor marine microorganisms, animals, and plants, which often attach, grow, and reproduce on their surfaces, causing damage. Biofouling, particularly on ships and other facilities, can increase their weight and frictional resistance during navigation, leading to reduced speed and increased energy consumption.

[0003] The current method for preventing marine organisms from attaching and growing on the surface of marine facilities is mainly to add antifouling coatings to the surface of marine facilities. Traditional antifouling coatings mainly prevent biofouling by adding biotoxic substances such as inorganic or organic fungicides to repel or kill marine organisms. However, these biotoxic substances are easily released into seawater, which will not only cause the antifouling coating to fail quickly, but also cause pollution to the marine environment. In recent years, researchers have proposed a type of silicone-based antifouling coating, which can effectively prevent the attachment of marine organisms due to its low surface energy characteristics. Although this type of silicone antifouling coating has advantages such as environmental friendliness, its static antifouling ability is poor. Summary of the Invention

[0025] Wherein, the addition of solvent can be determined according to actual construction demand, for example, can be controlled to 0~35% of the antifouling coating composition gross mass, preferably 1~30%.In some cases, solvent can be not added at all, and this is conducive to cost saving and environmental protection.The solvent applicable to the application can be selected from one or more of aromatic hydrocarbons, ketones, esters, ethers, alcohols, aliphatic hydrocarbon organic solvents, for example, can be selected from dimethylbenzene, toluene, mesitylene, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, methyl amyl ketone, methyl isoamyl ketone, cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, butyl acetate, tert-butyl acetate, amyl acetate, isoamyl acetate, ethylene glycol methyl ether acetate, propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, dibutyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, n-butyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol, butoxyethanol or 1-methoxy-2-propanol etc.

[0026] The amount of filler added depends on the actual application requirements and can be controlled to 0-20% of the total mass of the antifouling coating composition, preferably 0.1-10%, and more preferably 0.1-5%. Suitable fillers for this application can be selected from inorganic fillers such as zinc oxide, barium sulfate, calcium sulfate, calcium carbonate, silica, or silicates, or solid silicone resin powders. Preferably, the filler used in this application can be silica aerogel powder, which helps improve the erosion resistance of the antifouling coating.

[0027] The amount of any one of the thixotropic agent, thickener, anti-settling agent, and dehydrating agent added can be 0-10% of the total mass of the antifouling coating composition, preferably 0.1-5%, and more preferably 0.1-2%.

[0028] In addition, the antifouling coating composition may further include an appropriate amount of inorganic or organic pigments, such as black iron oxide, red iron oxide, yellow iron oxide, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, carbon black, graphite, red molybdate, yellow molybdate, zinc sulfide, antimony oxide, aluminum flakes, sodium aluminum sulfosilicate, quinacridone, phthalocyanine blue, phthalocyanine green, indanthrone blue, cobalt aluminate, carbazole diazines, isoindoline orange, bis-acetoacetyl-tolidine, benzimidazolone, quinophthalone yellow, isoindoline yellow, tetrachloroisoindoline, quinoline yellow, etc. Furthermore, the amount of the pigment added may be 0-20% of the total mass of the antifouling coating composition, preferably 0.5-15%.

[0029] In this application, the antifouling coating formed from the antifouling coating composition exhibits excellent dynamic and static antifouling properties through the synergistic combination of the main components, namely, a hydroxyl-terminated polysiloxane represented by Formula I, compounds represented by Formula II and / or Formula III, and a crosslinker represented by Formula IV. The hydroxyl-terminated polysiloxane represented by Formula I has a flexible Si-O-Si backbone, which imparts excellent dynamic deformation capabilities to the coating. Under seawater erosion or mechanical stress, the free rotation and low surface energy of the Si-O segments effectively reduce the adhesion strength of fouling organisms, achieving dynamic antifouling. Furthermore, the E groups introduced into its side chains (such as amines, epoxy groups, furan rings, hydroxyl groups, or thiol groups) can effectively enhance the static antifouling properties of the coating. For example, electrically neutral hydrophilic groups such as hydroxyl groups can bind to water molecules through hydrogen bonding, forming a hydration layer that inhibits the initial adhesion of proteins and microorganisms. Furthermore, antimicrobial functional groups such as amines and furan rings can disrupt microbial cell membranes through charge interactions or redox reactions, inhibiting biofilm formation. The compounds represented by Formula II and Formula III both contain a furan ring and an -N-OH group. The hydrophobic -π non-covalent interaction of the furan ring can interfere with the structure of adhesion proteins secreted by fouling organisms, reducing their adhesion stability. The -N-OH group can form a reversible hydrogen bond network with the hydroxyl groups in the hydroxyl-terminated polysiloxane represented by Formula I and / or the D group (e.g., amine group) in the crosslinker represented by Formula IV, imparting self-healing capabilities to the coating and maintaining the durability of its antifouling properties. In particular, for the compound represented by Formula III, the metal ion M contained therein can be slowly released through hydrolysis, exerting a long-lasting inhibitory effect on bacteria, algae, and the like, further enhancing the static antifouling properties of the coating. Furthermore, the metal ion can form coordination bonds with the -N-OH group, increasing the coating's crosslinking density and improving its dynamic antifouling properties, such as scour resistance. The group B (such as an alkoxy group) contained in the cross-linking agent represented by Formula IV can be hydrolyzed to form a silanol group (Si-OH) during the curing process of the coating, and condensed with the hydroxyl group in the compound represented by Formula I or the active group in the compound represented by Formula II / III to form a stable Si-O-Si three-dimensional network, thereby ensuring the mechanical strength of the coating; the group D (such as an amino group or an epoxy group) contained therein can react with the E group of Formula I, for example, the amino group and the epoxy group undergo a ring-opening reaction to form a covalent cross-linking point, thereby enhancing the cohesion of the coating, and / or dynamically bond with the -N-OH of Formula II / III to form a hydrogen bond or ionic bond dynamic network, thereby enabling the coating to have elastic deformation ability at the microscale and adapt to the dynamic stress of the marine environment.

[0030] In summary, in the antifouling coating composition of the present application, at least the following technical effects can be achieved through the mutual synergy of the above-mentioned main components: first, dynamic antifouling of the coating: the flexibility of Si-O chain, reversible hydrogen bond network and low surface energy characteristics, together achieve excellent "easy shedding" effect of fouling. Second, static antifouling of the coating: the synergistic effect of hydrophilic hydration layer, antibacterial group and metal ions effectively inhibits bioadhesion and colonization. Third, long-acting of the coating: the controllable balance of three-dimensional covalent network and dynamic bond ensures the structural integrity and functional activity of the coating in long-term immersion.
