The present invention relates to a blind having an air purification function in which a purification layer 200 capable of purifying air is formed on the sheet 100 for blinds as shown in FIG. 2.

The sheet 100 for the blind may be used as any of the sheet paper that can be used as a blind, it is preferable that the sheet paper for any one of the fabric, knitted fabric, non-woven fabric formed of fibers of fineness 50 to 1500 denier.

The fiber may be used as a synthetic fiber selectively depending on the place of use and purpose, and may be used by mixing two or more synthetic fibers.

In addition, it may be possible to use a sheet sheet for blinds having stiffness, including low-melting yarn (LM).

The purification layer 200 is a layer containing a purification composition containing calcium chloride, copper chloride, and iron salt.

Through the purification composition included in the purification layer 200, functions of decomposing volatile organic compounds and removing odors are provided.

The purification composition is prepared by including a raw material mixing step, a catalyst mixing step, a reaction step, and a cooling step, as shown in FIG. 1.

The purification composition of the present invention contains 1 to 9% by weight of calcium chloride, 0.1 to 9% by weight of copper chloride, and 0.1 to 3% by weight of iron salt. Is added.

The calcium chloride, copper chloride, and iron salts may use hydrates to increase the solubility of water.

When the calcium chloride, copper chloride, iron salt of the purification composition is added below the content range, air purification performance and deodorization function may be deteriorated, and when it exceeds the content range, low temperature below 0 ° C or 40 ~ 80 ° C When the precipitate is generated in the composition at a high temperature, the manufacturing processability may be reduced when forming a purification layer on the blind.

When the content of copper chloride is high, the air purifying function and deodorizing function are high, but yellowing may occur in the purification composition or the blind containing the purification composition, so it is necessary to adjust the content according to the place of use and purpose of use. However, it may be desirable to use less than 2% by weight when manufacturing light colored blinds.

Chloride substances contained in the purification composition decompose volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and harmful substances in the air through oxidizing action with Mcl ₂ (M is a transition metal such as Mn, Zn, Cu), which is an active component of multi metal sol, It has a mechanism to decompose cell membranes by acting directly on harmful bacteria and disinfecting the electron transport system of harmful bacteria.

In other words, the Mcl ₂ melts the cell membrane of harmful bacteria and works with enzymes in the cell to block the metabolic function of nutrients, that is, the influx and discharge of nutrients, and prevents the breathing function of harmful bacteria, thereby causing intracellular APT (adenosine triphosphate, adenosine triphosphate) It inhibits production, destroys growth stop and regeneration ability, and kills harmful bacteria.

In addition, Mcl ₂ is a strong reactive substance that fundamentally removes harmful gas components by decomposing or changing odor components and neutral odor components into odorless compounds through chemical reactions such as oxidation, reduction and neutralization with basic odor components and neutral odor components. Is done.

[Ammonia decomposition mechanism]

2NH ₃ + H ₂ + Mcl ₂ → 2NH ₄ cl (ammonium chloride) + M

Mcl ₂ is a metal with a very high electropositivity, and causes a reduction reaction that generates hydrogen (H) from water molecules in the air, and reacts with ammonia (2NH ₃ ) gas to make ammonium salt, an odorless ammonium salt, Ammonium Chloride (NH ₄ cl) To remove malodor.

[Formaldehyde decomposition mechanism]

HCHO (formaldehyde) + Mcl ₂ → HCO ₃ (Bicarbonate) + M + H ₂ ↑

Mcl ₂ causes a reduction reaction that generates hydrogen (H) from water molecules in the air. At this time, it reacts with formaldehyde gas, which is a neutral odor, to convert into bicarbonate (bicarbonate), a harmless component, to decompose HCHO (formaldehyde). Do it.

In the raw material mixing step, glycine may be further added as a buffering agent in order to increase reaction stability in the reaction step.

When adding the glycine, it will be preferable to add 0.5 to 2 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight of water.

The catalyst mixing step is a step of further adding a catalyst, a pH adjusting agent, and a metal ion blocker to the composition in which the raw materials are mixed.

In the catalyst mixing step, it may be possible to use imidazole as a catalyst, formic acid as a pH regulator, and EDTA-2Na dihydrate as a metal ion blocker.

The catalyst, pH adjusting agent, and metal ion blocker will preferably add 0.3 to 2 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight of water, respectively.

The reaction step is a step of reacting a composition in which a raw material and a catalyst are mixed at 40 to 80 ° C. for 90 to 150 minutes, and it is important to stably stir during the reaction so that the composition can stably react.

The cooling step is a step in which the reaction-completed composition is left at room temperature or cooled under low temperature.

After the cooling step, it may be possible to conduct a inspection step of dropping sodium hydroxide and inspecting the amount of precipitates generated.

The purification composition of the present invention prepared as described above is preferably formed to a pH of 4.0 to 8.0. When the pH of the purification composition of the present invention is less than 4.0 or exceeds 8.0, precipitation may occur.

When precipitation occurs in the purification composition, the process of forming a purification layer containing the purification composition in the blind may be reduced, and air purification performance may be reduced, so that the purification composition is not precipitated during manufacturing and storage of the purification composition. Will have to be manufactured.

The purification composition of the present invention prepared as described above may be mixed with a binder and then coated or sprayed onto a sheet of blind for forming a purification layer.

As the binder, any of the binders harmless to the human body can be used, and various binders may be used depending on the purpose of use, such as an acrylic binder or a urethane binder, and it will be preferable to use Butyl Acrylate and Polyoxyethylene.

The adjustment ratio of the purification composition and the binder may be adjusted according to coating or spraying, but after mixing the purification composition and the binder in a weight ratio of 10:90 to 30:70, coating on one side of the sheet for blinds forms a purification layer 200. You can do it.

When the designed pattern is formed on the sheet for blinds, the designed pattern may be formed by printing or the like to form a purification layer, or after forming the purification layer, a pattern may be formed.

Alternatively, when the designed pattern is formed by printing, the pattern and the purification layer may be simultaneously formed by including a purification composition in a pigment for printing.

An adhesive layer may be formed on the blind having the air purification function according to the present invention as described above to form an adhesive sheet paper.
