  Conventionally, a blower fan, which is an internal component of this type of air conditioner, has a wing portion and an end plate integrally formed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The synthetic resin of the structure is an acrylonitrile / styrene resin (hereinafter referred to as AS resin) mixed with about 20% to 30% of glass fiber (hereinafter referred to as GF) to improve the strength, or acrylonitrile / Butagene / styrene resin (hereinafter referred to as ABS resin), etc. is used, and ABS, PS resin, etc. are used for its peripheral parts (suction grill, underframe, blow-out grill, water tray, upper and lower blades, left and right blades, etc.) There are various types. In addition, as a means for preventing the occurrence and growth of mold, there is a method of simply applying a paint containing a fungicide or kneading it into a synthetic resin material, but there are many types of members as described above. In view of the stability of the drug due to the high molding temperature, the sustaining of the efficacy, etc., almost no antifungal treatment is applied. As another means, a method that places a burden on the user, such as performing a drying operation for drying the interior of the indoor unit, is employed.

  There are those using a stain-resistant fluorine-based paint (for example, see Patent Document 2) and those using a coating composition of a water-repellent resin and an antibacterial agent (for example, see Patent Document 3). No antibacterial agent and conductive filler have been used in combination for long-term effects. In addition, there is a fan fan with an antifungal coating with a film thickness of 1.4 μm or more on the surface of the blower fan (see, for example, Patent Document 4), but the effect of the type of antifungal agent is not displayed, and the culture test Although displayed, practical effects are not described. Moreover, although there exists a thing using the molded object which coat | covered the fluororesin (for example, refer patent document 5), selection which prevents the proliferation of mold | fungi especially in the long term is not shown. In addition, there is an antifungal agent that is shown by painting a functional paint imparted with functions such as antistatic and low friction coefficient on the air flow path parts of the air conditioner (see, for example, Patent Document 6). In combination with antistatic agents, conductive agents and water-repellent paints, there is no air conditioner that specifically describes long-term effects.

  In such a conventional blower fan, dust that becomes a nutrient source for mold adheres to the fan due to static electricity due to rotation, and the peripheral part of the blower fan (underframe, outlet grill, water tray) due to the influence of moisture due to condensation , Upper and lower blades, left and right blades, etc.). In particular, in the case of an air conditioner, there was a problem in terms of hygiene because a bad odor was generated from the outlet during operation, and mold spores were scattered in the air along with dust.

  In addition, as a conventional antifungal paint, a water-based resin such as acrylic resin, vinyl acetate resin, acrylic silicon resin, urethane resin, polyester resin, epoxy resin, or solvent resin, or a simple antifungal agent is simply added. However, water resistance, chemical resistance, wear resistance, etc. are insufficient, so an effect can be obtained at the initial stage of application, but the effect of mold prevention decreases with time, and the effect varies depending on the type of mold. There was a problem that the propagation of microorganisms could not be completely prevented, and the improvement was desired. In order to achieve the above-mentioned problems, by adding a conductive filler to the water-repellent resin, it reduces the adhesion of moisture, dust, etc., which is the cause of mold growth, and the fungicide (a) 2-n- By synthesizing three types, octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, (b) bis (pyridine-2-thiol-1-oxide) zinc acid, and (c) 3-iodo-2-propylbutylcarbamate. An object of the present invention is to provide an antifungal coating film capable of preventing the occurrence of mold over a long period of time, and an antifungal coating film processing method for an air conditioner or the like.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention according to claim 1 is characterized in that the antifungal agent (a) 2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, (b) bis (pyridine-2) in a water-repellent resin. -Thio-1-oxide) zinc acid, (c) 3-iodo-2-propylbutylcarbamate, and conductive filler are mixed and dispersed to obtain a surface resistivity of 10 ⁶ Ω / □ to 10 ¹² Ω / □. A coating film is constituted.

  The present invention described in claim 2 has a configuration in which the water repellency of the antifungal coating film described in claim 1 is 80 ° or more in water contact angle.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, the coating film is applied and dried on a suction grill, a frame, a blower fan, a blowout grill, a water tray and a peripheral member of the blower circuit of an air conditioner.

  Further, in claim 2, by configuring the water repellency of the antifungal coating film according to claim 1 so that the water contact angle is 80 ° or more, moisture can be reduced even in an environment where water contacts. In particular, when a thin film having a thickness of 10 μm or less is formed, an excellent coating film with low water absorption deterioration is formed over a long period of time, so that a further long-term fungicidal performance can be maintained.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, the anti-mold coating according to the first or second aspect is applied to the peripheral members of the suction grill, the base frame, the blower fan, the blowout grill, the water tray and the blower circuit of the air conditioner. This is an antifungal treatment method in which a film is applied and dried. With the mold prevention method of this configuration, the blower fan used in the air conditioner reduces the adhesion of dust that becomes a nutrient source for mold and the adhesion of moisture due to dew condensation due to static electricity due to rotation. In addition, an optimum coating film of a highly smooth thin film can be formed on the frame, the blower fan, the blowout grill, the water tray, and the peripheral members of the blower circuit, and the antifungal performance can be maintained over a long period of time.

Also, antimony-doped tin dioxide is used as the conductive filler to ensure transparency, and 80 °
By using the above water contact angle, it is possible to maintain the white appearance and the long-term anti-fungal performance when used in places where the appearance of the front panel, suction panel and underframe of the air conditioner can be seen.

  In addition, the fungicidal coating film of the present invention exhibits a more effective effect in hot and humid Okinawa and southern Kyushu where mold tends to propagate, and in rooms such as restaurants and hotels that are operated continuously all year round. It is something that can be done.

  With a conventional acrylic water-based resin fungicide, even in an environment where fungi are prone to breed, by forming the fungicidal coating film of the present invention, an unprecedented long-term effect (for example, 2 years or more) Can be obtained. In addition, by reducing the growth of mold and the adhesion of dust and dust over a long period of time, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the air blowing efficiency of the air conditioner and reduce the capacity reduction, thereby contributing to energy saving.

(Embodiment 1)
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. First, the water repellent resin will be described. The water-repellent resin is divided into a solvent type and an aqueous type, but recently, there are many cases of shifting from a solvent to an aqueous type due to environmental problems. Therefore, the present invention has been accomplished by diligently researching an aqueous coating film of less than 10 μm, which has good coating workability while considering environmental aspects, and has excellent antistatic properties, coating film properties and antifungal properties, However, the antifungal property, etc. is the same as the water type. Here, the characteristics of the water system type are shown.

  The aqueous water-repellent resin of the present invention may be dissolved or dispersed in the aqueous composition. Such a resin is not particularly limited as long as it is a water-based resin that can be dissolved or dispersible in the water-based composition, but it is not limited to a blower fan of air-conditioning equipment and its peripheral members (AS + GF resin, PS resin, ABS). It is necessary to have good adhesion to the resin and the like and to have water repellency. For example, an acrylic resin emulsion, an acrylic silicon resin emulsion, a fluororesin emulsion, a urethane resin emulsion, a polyester resin emulsion, a silicon resin emulsion, or a mixture of one or more of these water-soluble resins can be used. When the binder resin is dispersed in the aqueous composition, the average primary particles of the dispersed particles are usually 0.01 μm to 1 μm, preferably 0.1 μm to 1 μm. The average primary particles are measured by Zeta Sizer Nano (manufactured by Sysmec). Can be done.

  When the resin is dispersed in the aqueous composition, the corresponding water-dispersed resin is usually available in the form of an aqueous dispersion as a commercial product.

  The resin solid content in the composition is preferably 5% to 50%, and if it is less than 5%, the adhesion, the coating film strength and the like are lowered. On the other hand, if it exceeds 50%, the composition of the fungicide, the conductive agent or the like is restricted, the coating workability is deteriorated, and the film thickness is difficult to control.

  Next, the conductive filler will be described. The conductive filler used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is a substance that can impart conductivity to the coating film. For example, a metal oxide doped with a non-oxide metal, kettin black, a carbon nanotube, or the like can be used. Specific examples of the metal oxide doped with a non-oxide metal include antimony-doped tin dioxide, aluminum-doped zinc oxide, gallium-doped zinc oxide, indium oxide, and antimony-doped titanium oxide. In the present invention, by adding a conductive filler, it is useful for preventing adhesion of dust or the like which becomes a nutrient source for mold caused by static electricity.

The conductive filler is blended in such an amount that the surface resistivity of the coating film is 10 ⁶ Ω / □ to 10 ¹² Ω / □. Such a blending amount depends on the type of the conductive filler and cannot be defined unconditionally. However, it is usually 2% to 10% with respect to the sum of the solid content weight of the resin and the weight of the conductive filler. That is, when the content ratio is less than 2%, the predetermined surface resistivity cannot be obtained, and dust, which is a nutrient source for mold, grows and the mold grows, and when it exceeds 10%, the adhesion and storage stability are increased. And gloss decreases. When the gloss decreases, the surface becomes rough and mold tends to adhere.

Next, the fungicides will be described. The fungicide of the present invention is excellent in effect against black mold, mold fungus and black mold that are easy to breed in a house, and maintains the performance for a long period of time. (A) 2-n-octyl-4- Three components of isothiazoline-3-one, (b) bis (pyridine-2-thiol-1-oxide) zinc acid, and (c) 3-iodo-2-propylbutylcarbamate are used. The reason for limiting the three components is that immediate effect and sustainability were taken into consideration, and (a) 2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one and (c) 3-iodo-2-propynylbutyl carbonate Since bamate is relatively easy to elute in water, it has an immediate effect. (B) Bis (pyridine-2-thiol-1-oxide) zinc acid is relatively difficult to elute in water and is durable. The antifungal property is maintained by a synergistic effect. In addition, all three components are excellent not only for fungi alone but also for bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, particularly (a) 2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one and (b) bis ( Pyridine-2-thiol-1-oxide) zinc acid is highly effective against bacteria.

  The blending amount is preferably 0.3 parts or more for each fungicide component and 10 parts or less in total for the solid content weight of the water-repellent resin (binder resin). If the content of each of the components (a) to (c) is too small, such as less than 0.3 part, the predetermined fungicidal effect cannot be obtained, and if the total amount exceeds 10 parts, adhesion remains on the coating film. The film performance such as water resistance is lowered, and the performance cannot be maintained for a long time.

  Next, the manufacturing method of the coating material of this invention is demonstrated. The paint of the present invention can be produced by blending and mixing a resin, a conductive filler and a fungicide in a solvent-based or aqueous medium. The conductive filler and the antifungal component hardly soluble in water are dispersed. As the mixer, a sand mill, a ball mill, a high-speed rotating device, a three-roller, or the like conventionally used for mixing and dispersing in the field of paint and ink is used. In order to make these dispersions more efficient, they can be combined with a dispersant, and the average particle size of these pigments is preferably 1 μm or less. This is because, when the paint is applied to an object to be coated, especially in the antifungal agent, if the particles are large, the particles protrude from the coating film, drop off with the passage of time, and shorten the life of the antifungal effect.

  In addition to the above-mentioned components, additives such as dispersion aids, pigments, dyes, film-forming aids, leveling agents, anti-settling agents and the like can be blended with the water-repellent / antifungal paint of the present invention.

  The antifungal paint having water repellency / conductivity of the present invention is a composition for forming a film, and at least a water repellent resin, a conductive filler, and an antifungal agent are dissolved or dispersed in a medium. .

  The anti-mold coating method of the present invention is characterized in that a coating film is formed by applying and drying the above-described anti-fungal paint having water repellency and conductivity. The coating method is not particularly limited as long as a coating film with a predetermined thickness can be formed. For example, coating such as air spray coating method, airless spray coating method, dip coating method, electrostatic coating method, roller coating method, brush coating method, etc. The law can be adopted.

  The thickness of the coating film (after drying) is not particularly limited as long as the object of the present invention is achieved, but is preferably 10 μm or less in view of surface smoothness and film thickness uniformity.

  Although drying of a coating film can be achieved by natural drying at normal temperature, it is desirable to dry by heating for the production efficiency of a coated product. For example, it is carried out at 40 ° C. to 70 ° C. for 10 minutes to 30 minutes.

  The coating film formed from these air conditioners and air cleaners and other internal parts such as a blower fan and a suction grill, a base frame, a blowout grill, a water tray and a peripheral member of the blower circuit have good adhesion, It is characterized by excellent antifungal performance over a long period of time.

  The antifungal paint having water repellency and conductivity used in Examples and Comparative Examples of the present invention was prepared as follows. First, as a plastic material often used for air blowers and internal parts of air conditioners and air purifiers and its peripheral members, AS resin, PS resin, acrylic silicon emulsion resin with good adhesion to ABS resin, water repellency An aqueous emulsion solution (I) having a solid content of 20% was prepared by blending a fluororesin (Daido SD-3 or the like) with a coating film-forming component and a diluent (water) and a film-forming aid. To this aqueous emulsion solution (I), ketine black as a conductive filler, and 2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, bis (pyridine-2-thiol-1-oxide) zinc acid as antifungal agents, 3 -A predetermined amount of iodo-2-propylbutylcarbamate was added in terms of solid content, mixed and dispersed to prepare a coating material having a coating surface water of 105 °. The paint was adjusted so that the water contact angle was 90 ° in Example 15 and 80 ° in Example 16.

  In Comparative Examples 19 to 24, acrylic emulsion resin was used, and a water repellent was mixed in a very small amount, and the water contact angle was 70 ° in Comparative Examples 19 and 22, and 60 in Comparative Examples 20 and 23. °, Comparative Example 21 and Comparative Example 24 were set to 50 °.

  Examples 1-16 are the antifungal agents 2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, bis (pyridine-2-thiol-1-oxide) zinc acid, 3-iodo-2-propylbutylcarbamate. Three kinds are each 0.3 parts or more, and the total amount of the fungicide is 10 parts or less. The water contact angle is 105 °, 90 °, 80 °, and the film thickness is about 2 μm. In this configuration, the growth of mold on the fan and its peripheral members (suction grill, underframe, blow-out grill, water pan, upper and lower blades, left and right blades, etc.) was recognized for two years in the culture test and the monitor test for mold prevention performance. It is not good.

  In Comparative Examples 1 to 18 using a water-based water repellent resin, one or two or three of the fungicides are not mixed, the amount of the fungicides mixed is 0.3 parts or less, For fungicides with a total amount of more than 10 parts, those with a conductive filler content of 10 parts or more, and those without a conductive filler, no effect is observed in the fungicidal performance in culture tests and monitors Or, even if the effect of △△ can be confirmed by the culture test, the effect is insufficient because it is judged as △ or × on the monitor.

  Comparative Example 19 using an acrylic emulsion resin with a water contact angle of 70 °, Comparative Example 20 with a water contact angle of 60 °, and Comparative Example 21 with a water contact angle of 50 ° are conductive fillers as in Example 5.
