Description

  The present invention relates to an ant proof sheet and an ant proof structure using the same. In more detail, the termite-proof sheet effective for termite control in a building made by skillfully utilizing the corrosion current generated when metal comes into contact with formic acid secreted by termites and the termite expulsion action by metal ions, and termites in buildings The present invention relates to an ant-proof structure that can reliably prevent the intrusion of water.

  Conventionally, as a preventive measure against termite damage in a building, a method of spraying an insecticidal, insect-repellent or repellent agent against a termite under the floor of a building, or applying or kneading the agent to a nonwoven fabric, paper, synthetic resin sheet, etc. Generally, a method of sticking a sheet material mixed by dust or the like on the lower surface of a floor panel or laying around a foundation of a building is performed.

  However, when chemical agents are used as agents that have insecticidal, insecticidal or repellent effects on termites, pollution due to soil contamination by agents, obstacles such as sick house syndrome to residents due to volatilized agents, scattering during spraying Health hazards to workers due to accidents are becoming social issues.

  Therefore, in order to prevent termite damage without using a chemical agent, the present inventor previously used a sheet body made of a resin material and a termite repellent included in the sheet body together with the resin material when the sheet body was molded. There has been proposed an ant-proof sheet characterized by comprising a plurality of types of particles having a function (natural antibacterial agent microcapsule particles such as pulverized colemanite, activated carbon and hinokitiol) (see Patent Document 1). The ant-proof sheet having such a structure is expensive to manufacture because it has to produce multiple types of repellent particles, kneaded into a resin material, and molded into a sheet shape. As a countermeasure against ants, the performance was not satisfactory enough.

  On the other hand, for the purpose of providing antiseptic / anticidal effects as well as obtaining dimensional stability by controlling the moisture content of the wood fiber board on one side of the building structure surface material for ant / antiseptic / anti-rusting, It has also been proposed to attach a sheet-like material such as an aluminum foil, a synthetic resin film, or an aluminum resin laminate film (see Patent Document 2). Indeed, in this product, a sheet in which any one of polyester, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, polyethylene, and polyvinyl chloride and an aluminum foil are laminated is used. (2) Claim 2 and 3), which simply covers the fiberboard (facing material) for building structure containing a pest repellent agent to block moisture and moisture from entering the fiberboard from the outside. Since it has been adopted and used only as a functional body for controlling moisture content (see paragraphs [0010] and [0028]), its ant protection effect still depends on the ant protection agent, Health injuries such as sick house syndrome are completely neglected, and the ant-proof effect is limited to the portion using the structural surface material and does not reach the entire building.

  There is also a termite control method in which an insecticidal component and an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer emulsion resin are mixed and sprayed on the surface of the ant-repellent sheet and the basic rising part (see Patent Document 3). Depends mainly on the ant protection effect due to the action of the insecticidal component, the problem of health problems due to the volatilization of the insecticidal component cannot be solved.

  By the way, when the metal contacts the formic acid secreted by termites, the inventor corrodes the contacted portion by an electrochemical reaction to generate a corrosive current, and the metal is ionized and eluted. And, I learned that termites show extremely repellent reaction behavior against the corrosion currents and metal ions generated at this time. As a result of repeated prototype experiments under the conviction that a termite-controlling construction material can be obtained, the present invention has been completed.

Resin is a metal foil sheet that is environmentally sound and safe and can maintain its excellent ant-repellent effect over a long period of time, and that is easily broken by a collision with crushed stone, consolidated soil lump, and crushing stone. The layer is reinforced, and it is easy to join with the fabric foundation and stones.

  In addition, when the ant-proof sheet of the present invention is configured to include two or more metal layers, even if termites break the resin layer and pitting the metal layer first encountered, Since the next metal layer is blocked on the resin layer to form an electrochemical barrier, the termite path is completely blocked.

  In addition, the ant-proof sheet of the present invention composed of a resin layer and a metal layer can reliably shield moisture and odor from the resin layer and the metal layer, so that it can be used as a moisture-proof / ant-proof measure under the floor. It is extremely effective. Thus, the ant-proof sheet of the present invention is extremely useful in industry.

  Moreover, the ant-proof structure of the present invention is a combination of the above-mentioned effects by the ant-proof sheet by combining glass powder having an ant-proof effect at the joint portion at the boundary between the ant-proof sheet and the foundation. This is also extremely useful in the industry because it can reliably prevent the invasion of termites.
