Abstract

ABSTRACT

An anti-fouling composition contains, as an active constituent, a diphenylamine of the general formula:- where R represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl or alkoxy group containing up to six carbon atoms; X represents a halogen atom, m is zero or an integer from one to three, n is zero or one, p is zero, one or two and q is zero, one or two, the sum of m, n, p and q being one, two or three. The composition preferably contains a film-forming material and may contain an extender or a plasticiser.
Examples of suitable diphenylamines include:
2,5'-bistrifluoromethyl-2'-chloro-4,6-dinitrophenylamine, 2-trifluoromethyl-2',5'-dichloro-4,6-dinitrodiphenylamine and 2-trifluoromethyl-2'-cyano-4,6-dinitrodiphenylamine.

Description

~079455 MD.28764 : I .
This invention relates to coating compositions (or paints) suitable for application to surfaces to inhibit growth of marine or fresh water organisms thereon.
, The formation of marine flora and fauna ~e.g. algae ;~1 5 and barnacles) on the hull of a vessel increases the frictional drag between the hull and the water causing ~- a fall in speed and an increase in fuel consumption.
:
It is therefore common practice to apply "anti-fouling"
:.~
paints to prevent the formation of the above organisms.
The compositions of the present invention are especially applicable as marine anti-fouling compositions.

~079455 The diphenylamines mentioned above have a low solubility in water and a relatively high melting point, a high melting point being indicative of a reduced tendency to migrate towards the surface of the coating. Preferably the solubility in water is less than 200 ppm but may be greater.
Preferably the melting point is above 40C, especially above 100C.
In order to improve the protection of the substrate against corrosion, the coating composition should preferably comprise a continuous layer of film-forming .
; material, accordingly the coating composition preferably contains a film-forming material. The film-forming material may be a synthetic or a natural material or a mixture of such material. Suitable synthetic materials include vinyl copolymers such as vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate/vinyl alcohol copolymers, phenolic resins, epoxy resins, polyurethanes and chlorinated synthetic rubber (for example '~lloprene~ R10). 'Alloprene' is a trade mark. Suitable natural materials include rosin and bituminous materials such as coal tar pitch. Preferably the coating composition after application and drying contains at least 10% by weight of film-forming material based on the total solids content of the composition.
The coating composition may also contain extenders and/or pigments, for example iron oxide, titanium dioxide, ; silica and carbon black, and plasticisers, for example , . ~ . . . . . . . .. .

:. .: '~ ' ?

~079455 tricresyl phosphate or a chlorinated paraffin wax (for example 'Cereclor' 42). 'Cereclor' is a trade mark.
In addition to the above diphenylamines, the composition may also contain other toxins known in the art; examples of such toxins are cuprous oxide, zinc oxide, mercuric oxide and trialkyl tin derivatives. A
particularly suitable co-toxin is cuprous oxide.
Suitably the composition contains 5-70%, preferably . 5-50%, for example 5-25%, by weight of the above diphenylamine, based on the combined weight of the diphenylamine and the film-forming material.
The composition preferably contains a solvent for at ` least a part of the film_forming material, the solvent(s) , ..
~ evaporating once the composition has been applied to the . ~ . .
surface. Suitable solvents include the aromatic hydrocarbons, ketones and esters.
The thickness of the film will depend on such factors as the nature of the ingredients and the duration of protection required, but thicknesses of 50 to 200 microns `
are generally suitable.
The composition can be applied to the surface by methods known in the art.

The sheets were then exposed for 1 month to the sea on a raft. The sheets were arranged so that part of each sheet was above the water line. Untreated sheets were similarly mounted and acted as control. The degree of fouling was estimated, using a scale of 0 to 10 where a score of 0 indicates that the sheet was fouled to the same extent as the untreated control and a score of 10 indicates that no fouling occurred.
