The Invention solves this problem with the features of the claim 1.

According to the Invention, the device comprises a barrier layer, which on the Surface of a pollutant or odor-emitting or -durchlassenden body is arranged, wherein the barrier layer Chitin and / or chitosan includes.

chitosan is a naturally occurring polyaminosaccharide. It is as a descendant of chitin one of the most common polysaccharides. Crustaceans protect themselves in the outer skeleton the biomass chitin. Chitosan, the second most common in the world of biology Saccharide, is its final deacetylated product, which is derived from Solubility reasons is easier to handle than Chitin.

For example, information about chitosan and chitin can be found in the DE 43 03 415 A1 which describes a production of chitin or chitosan. The content of this document is hereby incorporated into the content of the present patent application in equal measure.

With Chitin or chitosan is a commercially available and relatively inexpensive source material to disposal. Surprisingly, this unfolds Chitin or the chitosan its effect in a barrier layer and may odors and / or pollutants and / or fibers, eg. Asbestos fibers, take up particularly efficiently and absorb out of the room air.

The Device according to the invention provides a barrier layer in front, which are arranged on the surface of a body is. The barrier layer may be provided, for example be that a liquid paint on the type of Wall paint or primer applied to a wall surface becomes. After drying the liquid paint on the surface forms a substantially closed Barrier layer. This barrier layer can fulfill two functions: On the one hand, the barrier layer can be the surface of the body Seal in the manner of a sealing film and prevent in this way Harmful or odorous substances or fibers from the surface emit the body into the room. On the other hand fulfilled the barrier layer but also the function, the pollutants or odors as well as absorb and bind fibers. This applies to both such pollutants or odors or fibers coming from the body be sent out, as well as for those harmful or Odorants as well as fibers that affect the body opposite side of the barrier layer, d. H. especially in the room air, are located.

The Chemical and physical processes are on a microscopic scale not fully understood. Numerous attempts and test series but showed that the smell or

pollution the room air as well as the fiber loads of the room air, d. H. the Amount of fibers in the room air, by attaching a corresponding Blocking can be reduced very quickly and very efficiently. This is possible if only small amounts of chitin or Chitosan are included in the paint. For example, in the liquid paint which is on the surface the body forms the barrier layer, chitin or chitosan shares between 0.01 and 20%, preferably between 0.01 and 5% be. The percentages refer to volume percent or on weight percent.

In terms of the chemical processes for binding the fibers is assumed that the fibers crosslink in the chitosan barrier layer and on stick this way in it.

The The invention further relates to a device comprising the use of a paint according to claim 2.

The invention is described below with reference to the accompanying 1 explained.

1 shows a building 10 with a ground floor 11 and an attic 12 , The ground floor has a building room 13 on top of a bottom wall 14 , Building side walls 15 and a ceiling wall 16 is bounded. The ceiling wall 16 Can with multiple mineral fiber plates 17a . 17b . 17c . 17d be suspended, as is common in many buildings, especially public buildings, or was often common in the past. About fasteners 18a . 18b are the mineral fiber boards 17a . 17b . 17c . 17d , z. As the asbestos panels, on the actual building ceiling 16 established. Above the ceiling 16 is located z. B. a roof truss 19 , z. B. with vertical bars 20a . 20b and horizontal bars 21 ,

Depending on which building materials have been installed, come as sources of pollution or odor and sources of fibers such as asbestos fibers, completely different materials or components into consideration:
First, assume that the asbestos or fiberboard 17a . 17b . 17c . 17d Asbestos fibers that emit the inside of the room 13 Contaminate indoor air and cause health risks. A renovation of this space to reduce the concentration of pollutants in a conventional manner is expensive. For this all asbestos plates would have to 17a . 17b . 17c . 17d be removed, which may be performed only under the highest security. Mention should be made in this context, for example, respiratory protective suits for the executing persons, including special measures, such as the attachment of a spray protection layer to prevent the dissolution of individual fibers during disassembly of the plates 17a . 17b . 17c . 17d ,

According to one aspect of the invention, a barrier layer 22 On the undersides, ie the interior of the room facing sides, the asbestos plates 17a . 17b . 17c . 17d be applied directly to these plates. This can be done, for example, by applying a paint containing chitin or chitosan to the plates with a conventional roller or brush 17a . 17b . 17c . 17d is applied. The barrier layer 22 Forms a thin film, the one from the asbestos sheets 17a . 17b . 17c . 17d On the one hand, emitted fibers prevent them from entering the interior of the room, but moreover catch and bind these fibers. At the same time, the barrier layer 22 the fibers located in the interior of the room in the room air bind to it. Various physical and / or chemical processes, which have hitherto not been fully understood in detail, are effective here.

A corresponding barrier layer 23 but also on the side walls 15 , if necessary also on the ground 14 be installed in the room. This barrier layer 23 can equally absorb the fibers in the room air. Under certain circumstances, also in the side walls 15 of the room 13 Building materials that emit harmful or odorous substances. The barrier layer 23 can prevent these pollutants or odors, such as aldehydes, VOCs od. Like. Odors or pollutants, in the interior of the room 13 reach. The barrier layer 23 Insofar acts like a seal. In addition, it can also absorb harmful substances or odors and bind them permanently.

Finally, z. B. also in the attic 19 built wood of the beams 20a . 20b and 21 for example, be heavily contaminated with formaldehyde and come as a source of formaldehyde into consideration. Aldehydes may be through the ceiling wall 16 pass. Also the mineral fiber plates 17a . 17b . 17c . 17d do not provide transmission protection for the aldehydes. The chitosan barrier 22 but is capable of passing the aldehydes from the roof truss 19 be emitted into the room air of the room 13 to prevent or significantly reduce.

This can be achieved by applying a corresponding barrier layer 22 . 23 or coat of paint 22 . 23 in the building room 13 the room air contained therein are kept free of harmful substances, odors and fibers.

1 clarified by reference to 1 right room side wall 15 in that the inside of the barrier layer 23 another surface covering 24 could be attached. This can be, for example, a wall plaster or a plaster-like applied wallpaper. This can, for. B. be formed by a pulpy filler, which in any layer thicknesses on the wall 15 and optionally on the bottom wall 14 , the roof 16 and the asbestos plates 17a . 17b . 17c . 17d can be applied and exercise after curing and drying a function of Wandbehanges or wall covering similar to a wallpaper or a wall plaster. This separate surface covering 24 is thus inside the barrier layer 23 arranged and can the pollutant and odorant and fiber reducing effects of the barrier layer 23 for the room air reinforce.

The separate surface covering 24 can be advantageously formed fire retardant. This can advantageously lead to a refurbishment of the building that the building meets high fire protection requirements.

In addition, the surface covering 24 In addition to its fire-retardant properties, it also provides a supplementary harmful, odor-reducing and fiber-reducing effect, if in the surface covering 24 corresponding active ingredients that can absorb or bind pollutants, odors or fibers are included.

The chitin or chitosan-containing barrier layer 22 . 23 or the paint 23 has the advantage that this barrier layer has a certain elasticity. Thus, regardless of the nature of the substrate, a particularly good sealing of the surface of the body can be achieved. It is also possible to compensate for surface irregularities and, where appropriate, in parts loose surface areas of the surface of the body on which the barrier layer is applied. It is so far no pretreatment of the surfaces of the body required.

In addition, the chitin or chitosan containing barrier layer 22 . 23 or coating layer also cationic properties. This lint or dusts and possibly also the fibers can be attracted. Also, chitin or chitosan may be in the barrier layer 22 . 23 unfold a mold-counteracting function.
