In recent years, in the field of coating materials, conversion from a solvent-type coating material using an organic solvent as a solvent to a coating material using water as a solvent is being attempted. This is done for the purpose of reducing the health hazards of the painters and residents and for the purpose of reducing air pollution. In the thick coating type construction and civil engineering coating materials, the movement toward water-based technology is progressing, and a synthetic resin emulsion is used as a binder, and an inorganic powder having a particle diameter of about 0.1 to 200 μm is used as a filler. A large amount of coating material has become mainstream. In such a background, a synthetic resin emulsion having a solid content of 100% as a method capable of flattening a decorative surface formed by a coating material without using an organic solvent such as a coating material thinner.

It is applied as a coating material used in the construction field, especially for the design of interior and exterior wall surfaces, and provides adhesion and durability to concrete, mortar, calcium, plywood, and plasterboard substrates. Formaldehyde, toluene, xylene, paradigm The object is to obtain an environmentally friendly coating composition that does not use volatile organic compounds such as chlorobenzene, ethylbenzene, and styrene. It is applied as a coating material used in the construction field, especially for the design of interior and exterior walls. It provides adhesion and durability to concrete, mortar, calcium, plywood, and plasterboard. Formaldehyde, toluene, xylene An object is to obtain an environmentally friendly coating composition that does not use volatile organic compounds such as paradichlorobenzene, ethylbenzene, and styrene.

  In order to solve the above problems, an aqueous coating material containing at least a synthetic resin emulsion, a filler, a pigment, a thickener, a dispersant, an antifungal agent, and an algal inhibitor, which is formaldehyde, toluene, xylene, paradichlorobenzene, ethylbenzene A coating material composition containing an organic solvent not containing a volatile organic compound of styrene, and the organic solvent is at least one of n-heptane and isohexane, and the blending ratio is the total weight It is the range of 0.1 to 1.0 weight% in a composition, It is a coating material composition of Claim 1 characterized by the above-mentioned. The above-described problems have been solved by obtaining a coating composition having adhesion to a base, durability and surface finish as compared with conventional products.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
The coating material composition of the present invention comprises an aqueous synthetic resin emulsion as a main component and includes an organic solvent that does not contain volatile organic compounds of formaldehyde, toluene, xylene, paradichlorobenzene, ethylbenzene, and styrene, and preferred solvents include n-heptane and isohexane. Among these, at least one kind is blended. Furthermore, it is a coating composition in which a filler, a pigment, a thickener, a dispersant, a fungicide, and an algae preventer are prepared in advance, and water and aggregate are blended and used as necessary.
The organic solvent is not a solvent as a solvent for the solvent-type coating material, and the present invention acts as a regulator in the film formation process of the water-based coating material, and it does not remain in the coating film. As a result of experimenting with a solvent, the present inventors have come up with an invention of a water-based coating material that is a good regulator, but that can achieve performance equivalent to that of toluene which is a causative substance of sick house and sick school.

  As the water-based synthetic resin emulsion, acrylate copolymer resin, vinyl acetate resin, ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymer resin, vinyl acetate / acrylate copolymer resin, ethylene / vinyl chloride copolymer resin, Water-based synthetic resin emulsions such as silicon-modified acrylic resins and urethane resins can be used. The resin solid content in the coating material composition is preferably 1.0 to 15% by weight, and if it is less than 1.0% by weight, the tackiness, coating property and the like are not preferable. On the other hand, if it exceeds 15% by weight, the viscosity is lowered, and the composition of additives, compounding agents and the like is restricted, which is not preferable.

  For the filler, aluminum hydroxide, heavy calcium carbonate, clay, kaolin, talc, precipitated barium sulfate, barium carbonate, silica sand, fine silica sand, etc. can be used to adjust the solid content, viscosity and coating properties. However, heavy calcium carbonate is inexpensive and can reduce the cost burden, and since it is white, it is convenient for various colors of coating materials. In addition, inorganic pigments such as titanium oxide, zinc oxide, carbon black, ferric oxide, lead chromate (molybdate orange) yellow lead, yellow iron oxide, etc. can be used as the pigment. Titanium is excellent in concealment of the base and is white, so it is convenient for various toning of coating materials.

  The blending amount of the filler is preferably 5 to 90% by weight in terms of solid content of the coating material composition. If it is less than 5% by weight, the viscosity of the coating composition is low and unsuitable for construction, and if it exceeds 90% by weight, the viscosity of the coating composition becomes high and unsuitable for construction. Further, the blending amount of the pigment is preferably 20% by weight or less in terms of solid content of the coating material composition. If it exceeds 20% by weight, the viscosity of the coating composition becomes high and is not suitable for construction, which is not preferable.

  The additive includes a thickener, a film forming aid, a dispersant, a fungicide, and an algae. The amount of the additive is preferably 20% by weight or less in terms of solid content in the coating composition. If it exceeds 20% by weight, the elasticity and durability of the coating are inferior.

  The organic solvent to be blended in the coating composition does not contain volatile organic compounds such as formaldehyde, toluene, xylene, paradichlorobenzene, ethylbenzene, styrene, etc., and is compatible with the coating composition and drying properties of the coating film. It is preferable because it is not a solvent that is harmful to the environment as regulated by the Chemical Substance Management Promotion Act (PRTR Act), but is a solvent with low odor. n-Heptane and isohexane are preferred. The addition amount is preferably 0.1 to 1.0% by weight in terms of solid content of the coating material composition. If it is less than 0.1% by weight, there is a high possibility that the coating film will crack when applied at a low temperature, and if it exceeds 1.0% by weight, the drying property of the coating material is fast and the working time is shortened.

  When the aggregate is blended in the coating material composition, it can be used without any problem as long as it is generally blended in the coating material, and specifically, cold water stone, quartz sand, marble, mountain sand, crushed glass, Ceramic ground material or the like can be used.

  The amount of aggregate is preferably 10 to 90% by weight in terms of solid content of the coating composition. If it is less than 10% by weight, the viscosity of the coating composition is low and unsuitable for construction, and if it exceeds 90% by weight, the viscosity of the coating composition becomes high and unsuitable for construction. Further, the aggregate particle size is preferably 0.05 to 5.0 mm. If it is smaller than 0.05 mm, cracks are likely to occur on the surface of the coating film during drying, and if it is larger than 5.0 mm, the workability is remarkably deteriorated.

Using a trowel, roller, spray gun or the like as an application method, an application amount of 0.5 to 1.5 kg / m ^{2 is} applied to form an undercoat layer. The appropriate viscosity is preferably 300 to 700 Pa · S / 30 ° C. from the viewpoint of the coating operation. In order to obtain such an appropriate viscosity, it can be adjusted by adding water to the coating composition for the undercoat layer.

  After drying the undercoat layer, depending on the finished appearance, the topcoat layer can be formed with the same coating material composition and application method as the undercoat layer, with the application amount and construction method appropriate for the finish. The appropriate viscosity is preferably 100 to 900 Pa · s / 30 ° C. from the viewpoint of the coating operation. In order to obtain such an appropriate viscosity, it can be adjusted by adding water to the coating material composition for the topcoat layer.

  In the above application method, after forming the undercoat layer, it is a two-step process in which the same overcoat layer is formed using the same coating material composition, but it is also possible to finish it in one step with only the overcoat layer.

  Obtaining a water-based coating composition that has a unique texture, excellent design, and can be used for surface finishing of various materials such as metal, glass, porcelain tile, concrete, siding board, extrusion molding plate, plastic, etc. I was able to.
