Description

  The present invention relates to an antifouling coating composition and use thereof, and more specifically, an antifouling agent that contains a silyl ester-based (co) polymer as a film-forming component and can be used to prevent substrate contamination by aquatic organisms. The present invention relates to a coating composition, an antifouling coating film using the antifouling coating composition, an antifouling substrate, a method for producing the antifouling substrate, and a method for storing the antifouling coating composition.

  Currently, antifouling paints for ships, underwater structures, etc., which are intended to prevent fouling caused by aquatic organisms in the sea, include hydrolyzable resins for imparting film renewability to antifouling paints, A method of combining antifouling agents having the above physiological activity is widely used.

As this hydrolyzable resin, a silyl ester (co) polymer is widely used as a resin having particularly suitable renewability.
On the other hand, for example, Japanese translation of PCT publication No. 2002-535255 (Patent Document 1) shows that medetomidine is useful as an agent for preventing marine organism contamination on a solid surface.

  WO 2011/118526 (Patent Document 2) combines these, and an antifouling paint composition that exhibits excellent antifouling performance even in marine areas exposed to high fouling loads, ships under navigation conditions, underwater structures, etc. As a specific example thereof, a coating composition containing a silyl ester copolymer having a structural unit derived from triisopropylsilyl acrylate, medetomidine, calcined gypsum, and the like is also disclosed (Examples 10 and 11). ).

  However, the antifouling paint composition disclosed in Patent Document 2 has a unique paint viscosity presumed to be accompanied by decomposition of the silyl ester copolymer by coexistence of the silyl ester copolymer and medetomidine. It has been found that there is a problem that it is difficult to stably store the coating composition for a long period of time due to the rise or solidification of the coating. More specifically, the coating composition of Comparative Example 3 described later containing a silyl acrylate copolymer has a shelf life of 6 months or longer, whereas Comparative Example described later in which medetomidine was added to this coating composition. The shelf life of one paint composition was found to be less than one month.

  In view of such problems, the present invention is an antifouling paint composition used for preventing the substrate from being damaged by aquatic organisms, comprising a silyl ester-based (co) polymer and medetomidine, An object of the present invention is to provide an antifouling coating composition that can form an antifouling coating film exhibiting excellent antifouling properties over a long period of time and has good storage stability, and uses thereof.

  As a result of repeated research, the present inventors have found that, even in an antifouling coating composition containing a silyl ester (co) polymer and medetomidine, the storage stability can be enhanced by the coexistence of specific components. The present invention has been completed. The gist of the present invention is as follows.
