CONSTITUTION:A varnish of a copolymer of (desirably 10-40mol%, based on the total monomer) at least one unsaturated acid anhydride of the formula (wherein R<1> and R<2> are each H, Cl, methyl or ethyl) with at least another unsaturated monomer is made. This varnish is mixed with a triazole derivative, a copper compound antifouling agent, an aliphatic amide dispersant/antisaggant and an N-substituted imide poison, and the obtained mixture is kneaded to obtain an antifouling composition. An example of the above unsaturated acid anhydride is maleic anhydride, and an example of the another unsaturated monomer is butyl methacrylate. An example of the triazole derivative is benzotriazole, an example of the copper compound antifouling agent is cupurous oxide, and an example of the N-substituted imide poison is N-phenylmaleimide. This material does not undergo thickening and gelation, has good applicability, has no risk of being eluted into sea water and has excellent antifouling properties.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a composition for antifouling paint for the purpose of preventing adherence of aquatic organisms to underwater structures such as ships, fishing nets and drainage channels.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A large number of marine organisms such as barnacles, ascidians, serpras, blue mussels, and sea lions inhabit seawater. When structures such as ships, fishing nets, drainage channels, etc. are installed or put in service in the sea, marine organisms adhere and grow to cause various damages. For example, if marine organisms adhere to the bottom of the ship, frictional resistance with seawater increases, causing a decrease in navigation speed, and fuel consumption increases to maintain a constant speed, which is not economically preferable. In addition, when marine organisms attach to a fishing net for aquaculture, the net may be closed and the seafood may be killed.

Conventionally, in order to prevent marine organisms from adhering to such marine structures, an antifouling paint containing a homopolymer or copolymer of an organotin-containing unsaturated monomer as a resin component (Japanese Patent Publication No. 40-21426, Japanese Patent Publication No. 44-9579, Japanese Patent Publication No. 46-13392, Japanese Patent Publication No. 49-20491, Japanese Patent Publication 51-1
1647, Japanese Patent Publication No. 51-12049, Japanese Patent Publication No. 52-48170, etc.). The organic tin portion of these polymers is hydrolyzed by seawater (pH 8.0 to 8.3),
Not only does organic tin act as an antifouling agent, but the polymer surface solubilized in seawater is gradually eroded by the moving seawater, exposing a new coating film surface, and exhibiting a stable long-term antifouling effect. To be done. However, organotin released from these paints into seawater is not very easy to decompose and accumulates not only in marine organisms but also in the human body due to the food chain, causing damage such as malformation, so it is extremely dangerous, The use of organotin compounds has become limited.

It has been desired to develop a resin for antifouling paint which can achieve stable antifouling property for a long period of time, in place of these highly dangerous organotin resins. Ideally, the same hydrolysis type as the organic tin resin is preferable, but a proposal using a hydrophilic or water-repellent resin has also been made (JP-A-62-29076).
No. 8, JP-A-62-13471, JP-A-58-180565, JP-A-57-67672). However, it is difficult to realize long-term stable antifouling property only by the properties of hydrophilicity and water repellency. Therefore, resins having various special carboxylic acid esters in the side chains as hydrolyzable ones have been proposed (Tokusho Sho 60-500).
No. 452, JP 2-69576 JP, JP 63-215780 JP, JP 55-39271 JP, JP 62-57464 JP,
Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-3830), but the effect is not completely satisfactory.

On the other hand, JP-A-2-99567 proposes to use a copolymer of a maleic anhydride derivative for this purpose. Unlike the organotin resin, this copolymer is not toxic per se and is expected to have excellent hydrolyzability. However, when it is used for an antifouling paint, it has a fatal drawback that it causes thickening-gelation by kneading with a copper compound currently used as a poison. On the other hand, it has been reported that a triazole derivative is used for the purpose of suppressing such thickening-gelation in the case of a polymer compound having a triorganotin group (Japanese Patent Laid-open No. Sho 61-206).
57-92061) is a polymer compound having a triorganotin group, addition of a benzotriazole derivative not only fails to exhibit a sufficient thickening suppressing effect, but also
It was not practical because a good coating film could not be formed.

[0006]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention does not have the dangers of organotin copolymers and exhibits hydrolyzability comparable to this, and further increases the viscosity by kneading with a copper compound. It is intended to provide a composition for an antifouling coating which does not gel and can form a good coating film and at the same time exhibits an excellent antifouling property.

On the other hand, a coating film formed by using the antifouling coating composition of Comparative Examples 1 to 6 and a coating film formed by using the antifouling coating composition described in JP-A-57-92061 (Comparative Example 7). Had many bumps on the surface, and the surface smoothness was extremely poor.

Coating Film Consumability Test The coated FRP plate obtained in the above coating test was attached to a disc rotor plate and rotated at a constant speed (peripheral speed of about 15 knots) for 2 months with seawater (water temperature 15 ± 2 ° C.). Then, the surface of the coating film was observed. The results are shown in Tables 7 and 8.

[Table 8]

As is clear from Tables 7 and 8, the antifouling paint composition of the present invention was found to be very effective as a composition for antifouling paint because the coating film was consumed very uniformly. It was However, a coating film prepared by using the antifouling paint composition of Comparative Examples 1 to 6 and a coating film prepared by using the antifouling paint composition described in JP-A-57-92061 (Comparative Example 7). Was unevenly consumed, unevenness on the surface of the coating film became more conspicuous and frictional resistance with seawater was significantly higher than before the start of the test.

[0042]

The antifouling coating composition of the present invention does not have the danger of organotin copolymers, exhibits good hydrolyzability, and is increased by kneading with a copper compound. It is possible to form a coating film having excellent surface smoothness without viscous gelation.
