ANTIFOULING COATING COMPOSITION AND USES OF THE SAME
TECHNICAL FIELD
5 [0001]
The present invention relates to an antifouling coating
composition which comprises a hydrolyzable copolymer and an
antifouling agent and is employable for preventing aquatic animals
from fouling a substrate. The present invention also relates to
10 uses of the antifouling coating composition.
BACKGROUND ART
[0002] :
A material to coat a bottom of a ship that is now widely
15 employed is an antifouling coating material containing a camponent
such as a (meth) acrylic acid metal salt copolymer and a silyl ester
copolymer, and various antifouling agents, for its ability to
exhibit'gpod consumption property and good antifouling property.
However, in less often ship-operating, or under certain sea
20 conditions, animals, e.g., barnacles, and slimes (microorganism
coating), e.g., diatoms, adhere onto the substrate of the ship,
often causing a problem. ,
[0003]
In view of the above, conventional antifouling coating
SF-2337
.2
composition contained a copper compound, e.g., cuprous oxide,
aimed at preventing the adhering of the barnacles and the like,
or an organic antifouling agent intended as an anti-slime agent,
e.g.,
5 N,N-dimethyl-N'-phenyl-(N-fluorodichloromethylthio)sulfamide,
2,4,6-trichlorophenylmaleimide, and
2,3,5,6-tetrachloro-4-(methylsulfonyl)pyridine. ;
[0004] ;
These conventional antifouling coating compositions,
10 however, need to contain an antifouling agent in a large amount
in order to sufficiently exhibit an antifouling effect, and this
has an adverse effect on coating film property.
[0005]
For this reason, there has been a demand for an antifouling •
15 coating composition excellent in coating film property which has
stable coating film consumption degree on ships, underwater
structures and the like and which exhibits excellent antifouling
property over a long term.
[0006]
20 Patent''document 1 describes the use as an antifouling
component of medetomidine bonded to metal nanoparticles. Patent
document 2 describes the use as an antifouling component of
medetomidine bonded to a skeleton of a polymer such as polystyrene
and an acrylate polymer. Patent document 3 describes a protective

coating containing medetomidine and an organic antif ouling agent
such as 3-(3,4-dichiorophenyl)-1,1-dimethyl urea serving as an
algal inhibitory substance. Patent document 4 describes the use ;
of medetomidine as a chemical to inhibit marine biofouling, and
5 further describes the blending of medetomidine into a coating
material containing an acrylic polymer.
[0007] ' {
Still, it is difficult for these conventional antifouling ;
coating compositions to form an antifouling coating film which
10 has stable coating film consumption degree on ships, underwater i
structures and the like and which exhibits excellent antifouling
property over a long term.

Production of siiyl ester copolymer (a3-l)
Into a reaction vessel equipped with a stirrer, a condenser,
5 a thermometer, a dropping device, a nitrogen introducing pipe and
a heating/cooling jacket, 100 parts of xylene was introduced, and
heating and stirring were carried out in a stream of nitrogen at
a temperature condition of 85°C. With this temperature kept, from
the dropping device, a mixture of 60 parts of triisopropylsilyl :
10 acrylate, 40 parts of methyl methacrylate and 0.3 part of
2, 2' -azobisisobutyronitrile was dropped into the reaction vessel
over 2 hours. Thereafter, stirring was carried out for 4 hours
at this temperature, and then 0.4 part of
2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile was added, and stirring was further
15 carried out for 4 hours at this temperature, to thereby obtain ;
a colorless and transparent reaction mixture containing a silyl
ester copolymer (a3-l). Blending composition and property values

[Criteria for evaluation of static antifouling property based on
an area of adhesion of undersea organisms, in Examples and
Comparative Examples]
15 Criteria for evaluation of static antifouling property based
on an area of adhesion of undersea organisms are as follows. i
0 point: The area of adhesion of the undersea organisms is i
about 160%. I
1 point: The area of adhesion of the undersea organisms is
20 about 51 to 09%. ;
2 points: The area of adhesion.of the undersea organisms
is about 31 to 50%.
3 points: The area of adhesion of the undersea organisms
is about 11 to 30%.
SF-2337
4 6
4 points: The area of adhesion of the undersea organisms
is about 1 to 10%.
5 points: The area of adhesion of the undersea organisms
is about 0%.

A sandblasted steel plate (length 300 mm * width 100 mm *
thickness 3.2 mm) was coated with an epoxy anticorrosive coating
10 material (epoxy AC coating material, product name: "Bannoh 500",
manufactured by Chugoku Marine Paints, Ltd.) so that the dried
film thickness would be 150 urn, and then was further coated with
an epoxy binder coating material (product name: "Bannoh 500N",
manufactured by Chugoku Marine Paints, Ltd.) so that the dried
15 film thickness would be 100 urn. Subsequently, the resultant plate
was coated with the antifouling coating composition produced in ;•
the Example or Comparative Example one time so that the dried film !
thickness would be 100 um, and then dried at room temperature for
7 days, to thereby prepare a test plate with an antifouling coating l
I
20 film. The above three coatings were each carried out under the
condition of 1 day/1 coat.
[0105]
The test plate prepared as described above was immersed and
allowed to stand still for 8 months in Hiroshima Bay of Hiroshima

Prefecture. Duringthisperiodof time, thearea (%) of the adhesion
onto the coating film surface of undersea organisms excluding slime,
was measured every two months. In accordance with the [Criteria
for evaluation of static antifouling property based on an area
5 of adhesion of undersea organisms] , the static antifouling property
of the antifouling coating film was evaluated. The results are
set forth in Tables 7, 9-1 to 9-6.
[0106]
A hard vinyl chloride plate of 50 x 50 x 1.5 mm was coated
with the antifouling coating composition produced in Example or
Comparative Example, using an applicator, so that a dried film
thickness- would be 250 urn. The coated plate was rotated at 15 .
15 knots, and the consumption degree (decrease In the film thickness)
of the antifouling coating film, was measured every month. The
results are set forth in Tables 9-1 to 9-6. A unit of the consumption
degree -of the coating film in the tables is "um".

A substrate which was a sandblasted steel plate coated with
an anticorrosive coating film was coated with the antifouling
coating composition produced in Example or Comparative Example,

so that a dried film thickness would be 250 urn. Then, this was
immersed in sterilized and filtered seawater for 3 months, and
then dried at room temperature for 1 week. Each of the deteriorated
antifouling coating films thus obtained was coated with an
5 anticorrosive coating composition having the same composition,
so that a dried film thickness wouldbe 250 um, and then the resultant
coated plate was dried for 1 week. Then, this was immersed in
sterilized and filtered seawater at 50 °C for 6 months, to observe the coating film about crack and peeling. Finding no crack and
10 peeling was evaluated as AA; finding partial crack was evaluated
as BB; finding partial peeling was evaluated as CC; and finding ;
crack and peeling throughout the entire surface was evaluated as ]
DD. The results are set forth in Tables 9-1 to 9-6. :
