Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a coating stripping composition and a coating stripping method used in a process for stripping old coatings from steel road bridges, buildings, vehicles, aircraft, and the like. [Background technology]

[0002] Repainting of bridges and other structures is done to reduce maintenance frequency by replacing old paint with paint that has a longer lifespan, or to remove harmful substances (hexavalent chromium, lead, PCBs) contained in old paint. This is carried out as:

[0003] When repainting an old coating film, it is necessary to remove the old coating film. Physical removal methods such as blasting are used to remove the coating film. However, there are concerns that the blasting method will increase the amount of waste and cause damage to workers and the surrounding environment due to dust. In order to solve these problems, a method has been implemented in which a coating film remover containing a chlorine-based solvent such as dichloromethane as the main ingredient (Patent Document 1). However, the use of chlorine-based solvents is restricted due to the impact on the human body and the environment, and currently, non-chlorine-based removers that use various solvents that do not use chlorine-based solvents have been developed.

[0004] Patent Document 2 discloses a method using N-methylpyrrolidone as a non-chlorine based paint stripper.

[0005] Patent Document 3 discloses a W / O type emulsion composition which contains ethyl cellulose, an oil phase containing a solvent capable of swelling ethyl cellulose, and an aqueous phase containing a water-soluble polymer, and which has emulsion stability due to the ethyl cellulose and the water-soluble polymer, but there is no mention of coating film peeling, and the composition is used as a cosmetic.

[0007] Water-free, non-chlorine-based paint strippers have high stripping performance, but they have problems with fire hazards, complicated cleaning processes after stripping, and worker safety issues due to the large amount of harmful solvents they contain.

[0008] The main object of the present invention is to provide an aqueous paint-type coating stripping composition and a coating stripping method that reduce the risks of fire, health hazards, etc. in the coating stripping process and exhibit stripping properties equal to or greater than those of solvent-based strippers. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] In order to solve the above problem, the inventors have attempted to emulsify an aromatic alcohol-based solvent, which is effective for removing coating films, using a surfactant such as polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, but this did not provide sufficient emulsification. However, the inventors have found that the use of a cellulose derivative not only increases viscosity but also provides sufficient emulsification. The present invention provides a coating film remover that uses a cellulose derivative to improve coating film removability and coating workability while reducing the risk of fire. A release composition and a method for stripping a coating are provided. Item 1. A coating stripping composition having a pH in the range of 5 to 9, comprising water, benzyl alcohol, and at least one cellulose derivative. Item 2.

The composition according to Item 1 or 2, wherein the cellulose derivative is at least one selected from the group consisting of methyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, butyl cellulose and propyl cellulose. Item 4. Any one of items 1 to 3, in which the content of the cellulose derivative is 0.5 to 3 wt% of the total amount. The composition described. Item 5. The viscosity at room temperature is in the range of 3,000 to 110,000 mPa s, and the composition described in any one of items 1 to 4 is The composition described above. Item 6. A method for stripping a coating film, comprising applying the coating film stripping composition according to any one of items 1 to 5 to the coating film, and stripping the coating film. Effect of the Invention

[0010] The coating film stripping composition of the present invention contains water, which can greatly reduce the risk of fire. In addition, the cellulose derivative used has not only emulsifying properties but also thickening properties, making it difficult for the composition to drip after application. Furthermore, after the composition penetrates the coating film, it forms a film on the coating film surface, which can suppress the composition from drying, making it useful for shortening the stripping time. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] In the present invention, benzyl alcohol is used as the oil phase of the stripping composition. The mass ratio of water to benzyl alcohol is benzyl alcohol / water=0.6-4.8, preferably 0.8-3.0.

If the viscosity is within the above range, the coating film can be easily stripped after application. The composition does not drip and has excellent application workability. Viscosity is measured using a B-type viscometer. It is possible.

[0016] In addition to the above, a pH adjuster (fatty acid such as acetic acid, phosphoric acid, caustic soda, caustic potash, etc.) for making the coating film stripping composition acidic or alkaline, a preservative, a chelating agent, etc. may be appropriately added.

[0018] The coating amount of the coating film stripping composition of the present invention is preferably 0.5 to 2 kg / m 2 More preferably, 0.5 to 1 kg / m 2 For example, the coating film stripping composition of the present invention can be applied to a coating film, and the coating film can be peeled off using a scraper or the like after 12 to 48 hours, preferably about 24 hours. The coating film stripping composition can be applied to a coating film using a spray, roller, brush, or the like.
