Description

[0001] ORGANIC AND ECO-FRIENDLY INSULATION PAINT AND METHOD OF PRODUCTION TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present disclosure is an insulation paint produced with advanced technology that can be used in all fields requiring liquid, thermal, and chemical insulation, protection, or coating.

[0003] STATE OF THE ART

[0004] In today’s insulation, protection, and coating processes, various specifically manufactured products are used. These products, such as cement-based waterproofing products, bitumen-based waterproofing products, resin-based waterproofing products, and various thermal paints, are designed to serve only a single predominant purpose depending on the surface they are applied to. For instance, a product designed for thermal insulation cannot simultaneously provide effective chemical insulation or waterproofing. This is because the materials used in thermal insulation products are combined to achieve that specific feature. However, the simultaneous need for thermal, chemical, and waterproofing has become a reality of modern life, and the lack thereof often leads to significant costs due to the application of multiple layers.

[0005] Additionally, the lack of resistance against heat / non-flammability features in existing products is not only a disadvantage but also a significant safety risk, especially in cases such as fires. For example, in a factory environment where different chemicals are present together, the uncontrolled mixing of various chemicals could trigger a fire and lead to a major explosion.

[0006] A significant disadvantage in known techniques is the absence of a product capable of providing insulation by freezing on liquid surfaces or within liquids. This inability to seal surfaces underwater poses substantial safety risks in areas such as underwater tunnels, shipbuilding sites, and shipyards. Another common issue, particularly on underwater surfaces or surfaces exposed to water / moisture, is the rusting process. Current products address this problem by using external anti-rust paints or scraping / cleaning the surfaces beforehand. However, this results in additional labor, time, and cost. Other shortcomings of traditional insulation products include their lack of flexibility / elasticity, inability to provide durable and long-lasting use, tendency to stain easily, emission of strong chemical odors, and lack of breathability in their structures.In the prior art, document TR2022 / 020821 discusses a paint providing thermal insulation and high-temperature resistance. The invention specifically pertains a paint suitable for use in technical fields, equipment, or devices requiring thermal insulation, such as smoke exhaust motors, tanks, boilers, pipes, heat exchangers, furnaces, and similar areas, offering simultaneous thermal insulation and high-temperature resistance.

[0007] To achieve various paint features, documents CN106634286 (A), CN106634285 (A), CN105838218 (A), CN104356768 (A), and CN104119712 (A) mention castor oil; KR20190032765 (A), CN108948812 (A), and CN102516835 (A) discuss boric acid; and CN103289560 (A) refers to benzophenone. However, we believe that no single configuration encompasses all the features of our invention.

[0008] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0009] The innovative insulation paint is also suitable for use in waterproofing applications. It can be used for the insulation of water tanks, roof terraces and balconies, curtain walls, concrete insulation, under-tile and over-tile waterproofing, waterproofing and protection of concrete structures, insulation and protection above parking areas, building facades, foundation bundling, corner parapets, and drain insulations, wet areas in bathrooms, concrete, zinc, chimneys and gutters, pool insulations, acidic wells and tanks, and in the boat and ship industries. The application areas for thermal insulation include roof insulation, concrete walls, building facades, coatings for all types of pipes, water and similar storage tanks, refrigerated vehicle coatings, prefabricated houses, ships, boats, ovens, factories, and similar areas.

[0010] The distinguishing feature of this invention is its ability to provide thermal and chemical resistance as well as waterproofing in a single material. In addition to these three features, its ease of use, nonflammability, elastic structure, impact-resistant, and flameproof outer layer are among its notable characteristics. By bundling the functions of materials with different properties under a single product, this invention offers a simple application process and ease of use for the end consumers. The resins and additives used in the product enable the material to possess the aforementioned resistance capabilities. Test results of the insulation paint providing thermal, water, and chemical protection are as follows:

[0019] AIMS OF THE INVENTION

[0020] The invention meets the above-mentioned requirements, eliminates all disadvantages, and offers additional advantages.

[0021] The main aim of the invention is to provide an advanced technology insulation paint and method of production that can be used in all areas requiring liquid, heat, and chemical insulation, protection, or coating.

[0022] Another aim of the invention is to provide an insulation paint and method of production that eliminates the need for different products designed for each insulation, protection, or coating process, and the mandatory layered application, thereby reducing costs.

[0023] Another aim of the invention is to offer an insulation paint and method of production that is resistant to temperature and has a non-flammable property, unlike the flammable raw materials used in other products. Due to its structure, which retains heat even in the thinnest layers (preventing it from passing to the back surface), the invention will also prevent risks such as fires.

[0024] Another aim is to develop an insulation paint and method of production that can provide insulation by freezing on liquid surfaces or within them.

[0025] Another aim is to provide an insulation paint and method of production that can be directly applied to dirty or rusty surfaces. This would eliminate the need for external anti-rust paints or the scraping / cleaning of surfaces before application, thus avoiding labor, time loss, and associated costs. Another aim of the invention is to develop an insulation paint and method of production that is flexible / elastic, impact-resistant, long-lasting, corrosion-resistant due to its ability to allow the surface to breathe, and relatively odorless. The resin and additives in our product ensure that the material has these strengths and properties.Another aim is to offer an insulation paint and method of production for various application areas, such as:

[0026] • Water insulation applications (insulation of water tanks, roof terraces and balconies, concrete walls, concrete insulation, waterproofing under and over tiles, water insulation and protection of concrete structures, parking lot insulation and protection, building facades, foundation bundling, corner parapets and drain insulation, wet areas in bathrooms, concrete, zinc, chimneys, and streams, pool insulation, acidic wells and tanks, boat and ship industries, etc.) • Heat insulation applications (roof insulation, curtain wall concrete, building facades, all types of pipe coatings, water, and similar storage tanks, coatings for refrigeration vehicles, prefabricated houses, ships, boats, furnaces, factories, etc.)

[0027] • Chemical insulation applications (all types of chemical storage tanks, marine vessels, acid factories, construction sites, etc.).

[0028] Another aim of the invention is to provide an insulation paint and method of production that does not react with chemical acids.

[0029] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0042]

[0043] As an elastic insulation paint that is used in all areas requiring liquid, thermal, and chemical insulation, protection, or coating, characterized by its flame-retardant and impact-resistant properties, this paint is made up of a composition containing a 3:1 ratio of Component A to Component B, with Component B consisting of 15-35% by weight of isocyanate (MDI PM-200). Component A includes 30-70% by weight of Castor Oil, 5-15% by weight of Quartz, 5-15% by weight of Calcite, 5-15% by weight of Barite, 5-15% by weight of Talc, 2.5-6% by weight of Titanium Dioxide, 2-6% by weight of Rhoegel, 0.4-1% by weight of Pigment, and 0.4-1% by weight of Benzophenone.

[0044] The invention consists of two components: Component A and Component B. The insulation paint is obtained through the formation of a homogeneous mixture by mixing these two components in specified ratios.The method of preparing the insulation paint that is flameproof, impact-resistant, which can be used in all areas requiring liquid, thermal, and chemical insulation, protection, or coating is as follows:

[0045] a. Adding castor oil, which acts as the resin, to the mixing tank,

[0046] b. Mixing the castor oil,

[0047] c. Adding filler material to the mixed homogeneous material and mixing,

[0048] d. Adding an inorganic thickening agent to the homogenized mixture and mixing,

[0049] e. Adding photocatalyst and photostabilizer substances to the mixture and mixing, f. Adding pigment to the homogenized mixture and mixing,

[0050] g. Adding Component B to the prepared homogeneous mixture and mixing.

[0051] Step "a" involves adding 30-70% by weight of castor oil. Step "b" entails mixing it for 10 minutes at a slow speed using a mixer. Step "c" consists of adding powdered filler materials including 5-15% by weight of quartz, 5-15% by weight of calcite, 5-15% by weight of barite, and 5-15% by weight of talc, followed by slow-speed mixing for two hours. Step "d" involves adding 2-6% by weight of rheogel, an inorganic thickening agent, and mixing for 15 minutes. Step "e" includes adding 2.5-6% by weight of titanium dioxide and 0.4-1% by weight of benzophenone-4 (2-Hydroxy-4-methylbenzophenone) as photocatalyst and photostabilizer substances, followed by 1 hour of mixing. Step "f" is adding 0.4-1% by weight of powdered pigment and mixing for 1 hour. Steps "a", "b", "c", "d", "e", and "f" collectively form Component A of the insulation paint. Step "g" involves taking 3 parts of the prepared homogeneous mixture from Component A and 1 part of Component B, and mixing them in a container with a low-speed mixer for 2-3 minutes until homogeneous. Component B in this step comprises 15-35% by weight of isocyanate (MDI PM-200).

[0052] The resulting organic and eco-friendly insulation paint can be applied to surfaces using methods such as a squeegee, compressor-assisted spraying, paint rollers, or brushes. It is easy to apply and offers notable properties, including resistance to heat transfer, even when exposed to high temperatures up to 1000°C, ensuring thermal insulation, non-flammable and fire-retardant characteristics, and preventing fire spread; resistance to acids, protecting surfaces from strong acids and preventing corrosion, anti-dust properties, facilitating easy cleaning of applied surfaces, and applicability on rusty surfaces, eliminating the need for prior surface treatment.

[0053] Component B is MDI (Isocyanate) PM-200.Preparation of Component A:

[0054] • First, the resin, castor oil (Castrol), is added to the mixing tank.

[0055] • It is mixed for approximately 10 minutes at a slow speed using a mixer.

[0056] • Powdered fillers, including calcite, quartz, talc, and barite, are added and mixed at a slow speed for two hours.

[0057] • Once the mixture becomes homogeneous (after two hours), the inorganic thickening agent, Rheogel, is added.

[0058] • As additives, borax, and boric acid are added to the mixture and mixed for approximately 15 minutes.

[0059] • Titanium dioxide and 2-Hydroxy-4-methylbenzophenone are added and mixed for another 1 hour.

[0060] • Powdered pigment is added, and the mixture is further mixed for 1 hour.

[0061] After preparing the mixture, 3 parts of Component A and 1 part of Component B are added sequentially to a container and mixed with a low-speed industrial mixer until homogeneous.
