Description

침투성도포방수제의 제조방법Manufacturing method of permeable coating waterproofing agent

본 발명은 건축물 등에 있어서 필요한 부분, 특히 적벽돌벽, 시멘트몰탈벽, 수성페인트벽, 옥상, 기와지붕, 슬레이트지붕 그리고 목재등에 방수성을 부여하기 위하여 탄성체인 미가교 폴리디메틸 실록산을 등유나 미네랄 스피리트에 용해시킨 용액에 알루미늄 스테아레이트와 톨루엔 또는 크실렌을 반응시켜 겔화시킨 것을 혼합하여 제조하는 침투성이 우수하고 내구성과 방수성이 좋은 새롭고도 진보된 침투성도포방수제의 제조방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention provides an uncrosslinked polydimethyl siloxane, which is an elastic body, to a kerosene or mineral spirit in order to impart waterproofness to a part necessary for a building, particularly a red brick wall, a cement mortar wall, an aqueous paint wall, a rooftop, a tile roof, a slate roof, and wood. The present invention relates to a method for preparing a new and advanced permeable coating waterproofing agent having excellent permeability, good durability and waterproofness, which is prepared by mixing a gelled solution by reacting aluminum stearate with toluene or xylene in a dissolved solution.

현재에도 여러 가지 종류의 침투성도포방수제가 제조시판되고 있으나 그 효과와 내구성에 있어서 많은 문제점이 노출되고 있다. 즉 주종을 이루고 있는 용제형인 폴리스티렌, 폴리염화비닐과 수용액형인 염화비닐, 염화비닐리덴 에멀젼등의 침투성도포방수제는 건물외벽이나 옥상에 도포하였을 때 건물에 부자연스러운 광택을 가져오고 또 산소, 일광등의 영향으로 쉽게 노화하여 수명이 짧고 쉽게 풍화하여 그 성능을 잃게 된다.Although various kinds of permeable coating waterproofing agents are commercially available in the market, many problems are exposed in the effect and durability. That is, the permeable coating waterproofing agents such as polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride and aqueous solution vinyl chloride, and vinylidene chloride emulsion, which are mainly used, bring unnatural luster to the building when applied to the exterior walls or roofs of buildings. The effect is to easily age, shorten the life and easily weather and lose its performance.

또한 가장 신뢰할만하다고 생각하여 많이 쓰이고 있는 실리콘수지를 톨루엔이나 키실렌, 미네랄스피리트 등에 희석한 침투성도포방수제는 수지자체로서는 내구성이 있으나 건물벽체의 무기질과의 삼차원 망상구조로 된 실리콘수지분자의 물리적 접착력이 약하여 건물의 가벼운 진동, 충격에 의한 2 - 3년내의 그 발수성능을 잃는 것이 보통이다. 한편 용제형은 벤젠, 톨루엔, 키실렌등의 방향족용제를 다량 사용했으므로 작업자의 인체에 유해할뿐 아니라 페인트벽면의 팽윤이나 변색을 가져온다.In addition, the permeable coating waterproofing agent diluted with toluene, xylene, mineral spirit, etc., which is widely used and thought to be the most reliable, is durable as the resin itself, but the physical adhesion of the silicone resin molecule with the three-dimensional network structure with the inorganic material of the building wall It is usually weak and loses its water-repellent performance within two to three years due to light vibrations and impacts on buildings. On the other hand, since the solvent type uses a large amount of aromatic solvents such as benzene, toluene, and xylene, it is not only harmful to the human body but also causes swelling or discoloration of the paint wall.

예로서 일본제철화학주식회사 제품인 실리콘수지용제형 침투성 도포방수제 아쿠아씰(상품명)과 영국 엘, 피, 아이 사 제품인 리퀴드 플라스틱(상품명)은 석유계 용제사용으로 인해 페인트벽면에 분무했을 경우 벽면의 팽윤과 변색을 가져온다.For example, the silicone resin solvent-type permeable coating waterproofing agent Aqua Seal (trade name) manufactured by Nippon Steel Chemical Co., Ltd. and Liquid Plastic (trade name) manufactured by EL, P., and I., UK, are swelling of the wall surface when sprayed on the paint wall due to the use of petroleum solvents. It causes discoloration.

또한 블루멘탈의 자료[W.B. Blumental, Ind. Eng.chem. 42, 640 (1950)]에 의하면 파라핀왁스를 원료로한 에멀젼 형태의 침투성도포방수제는 생산가격이 저렴하기는 하나 유화제의 영향으로 백화황변현상이 생기는 경우가 대부분이고 내마모성이 약하여 그 효과가 오래지속되지 못하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 또 상기보다 개량된 훽베르그의 자료(E.G. Hochberg and Associates, Waterproofing Agent, A Marcketing Technical study, Chester, N. J., 1976, pp 111-127)에 의하면 불소화합물계는 침투성도포방수제는 여러 가지면에서 성능이 우수하지만 타제품에 비하여 가격이 월등히 고가인 단점이 있다. 이러한 점들중 특히 실리콘수지가 메틸기의 영향으로 물에 대한 접촉각은 크지만 그 화학구조가 삼차원 망상구조로 되어 있어 건물벽의 무기질 구체와 접촉면이 적어 결합력이 약하다는 데에 주안점을 두어 내후성, 발수성이 좋은 실리콘의 구조는 그대로 이용하되 콘크리트등의 무기질 구체와의 결합력만을 크게 하도록 하여 기대이상의 좋은 성능을 갖는 침투성도포방수제를 발명하게 되었는 바 본 발명을 더욱 구체적으로 설명하면 다음과 같다.See also Blumental's data [W.B. Blumental, Ind. Eng.chem. 42, 640 (1950)], emulsion-type permeable coating waterproofing agent based on paraffin wax, although the production price is low, most of the yellowing phenomenon occurs due to the emulsifier effect, and the effect is long lasting due to weak wear resistance. It is not known. According to Schönberg's improved data (EG Hochberg and Associates, Waterproofing Agent, A Marcketing Technical study, Chester, NJ, 1976, pp 111-127), the permeable coating waterproofing agent has excellent performance in many ways. However, there is a disadvantage that the price is much higher than other products. Among these points, silicone resin has a large contact angle to water due to the influence of methyl groups, but its chemical structure is three-dimensional network structure, which has a weak contact force due to the low contact surface with inorganic spheres of building walls. The structure of the good silicon is used as it is, but only to increase the bonding force with inorganic spheres such as concrete, the invention has been invented a permeable coating waterproofing agent having a good performance than expected.

본 발명의 침투성도포방수제는 건축용으로 적벽돌벽, 수성페인트벽, 시멘트몰탈벽, 인조 및 천연석재, PALC(Precastable Autoclaved Light Ceramic), 시멘트기와, 점토기와, 슬레이트, 시멘트블록, 석고보드, 타일류에 간단히 분무, 붓칠, 로라바륨, 침지법등 다양한 방법으로 처리함에 의해 방수, 발수효과를 내는 건축용 침투성도포방수제이다. 콘크리트 구조물은 경화수축시 발생되는 소석회[Ca(OH)2]의 유출, 구조물의 균열, 공동(Air Hole)현상으로 수분의 침투를 받게 되어 외벽의 백화현상, 내벽의 곰팡이, 풍화현상 등으로 미관을 해칠뿐 아니라 수명을 단축케 된다. 그러나 본 발명의 방수제를 사용하면 외관의 색상 변화가 전혀 없을뿐 아니라 오히려 건믈의 외벽을 보호, 수명을 길게하고 물의 통과는 막지만 공기유통은 자유로워 곰팡이 서식등을 방지하고 건축물 벽면에 묻은 먼지, 오물조차도 강우에 의해 세척되어 더욱 선명한 원색을 오래 유지시킬 수 있다.The permeable coating waterproofing agent of the present invention is red brick wall, water paint wall, cement mortar wall, artificial and natural stone, PALC (Precastable Autoclaved Light Ceramic), cement tile, clay tile, slate, cement block, gypsum board, tiles It is a permeable waterproofing agent for building that gives a waterproof and water repellent effect by simply spraying, brushing, lorbarium, and dipping. Concrete structures are exposed to moisture due to the outflow of slaked lime [Ca (OH) 2 ], hardening of the structure, and air holes which are generated during hardening shrinkage, resulting in the appearance of whitening on the outer wall, mold on the inner wall, and weathering. Not only harm, but also shorten the life. However, when the waterproofing agent of the present invention is not used, there is no change in the color of the exterior, but rather, it protects the outer wall of the gun, lengthens the life and prevents the passage of water, but the air circulation is free, which prevents mold habitats, dust, Even dirt can be cleaned by rainfall to keep the vivid primary color longer.

그리고 방수제자체의 주원료가 딱딱한 수지가 아닌 유연한 탄성체인 선상의 긴분자로서 건물구체의 무기질에 깊이 침투하여 희석제가 증발하고 나변 유연성 있는 분자가 달라붙어 감싸게 되므로 강한 결합력을 나타내게 되고 분자의 주쇄가 실리콘결합(-Si-O-Si-) 반복단위로 되어 있어 산소, 오존, 자외선등에 강한 내성이 있다. 한편 무기질구체에 달라붙은 선상의 미가교형탄성체는 바깥쪽으로 메틸기가 배항하여 물에 대한 접촉각이 크게 되므로 우천시 빗방울이 벽면등에 달라붙지 못하고 방울져서 흘러내리게 된다.In addition, the main raw material of the waterproofing agent itself is a long elastic molecule which is a flexible elastic body, not a hard resin, and penetrates deeply into the inorganic material of the building sphere, and the diluent evaporates and the flexible molecule sticks and wraps to show strong binding force. It is a (-Si-O-Si-) repeating unit and has strong resistance to oxygen, ozone and ultraviolet rays. On the other hand, the linear cross-linked elastic body attached to the inorganic spheres has a large contact angle with water due to the methyl group doubling outwards, so that raindrops do not stick to the walls and fall down in rainy weather.

본 발명은 폴리디메틸실록산(ASTMD-1418, Polymer Clsddificston VMQ 미가교형 탄성체, 일명, 실리콘 고무)과 알루미늄 스테아레이트를 주원료로 하며, 알루미늄 스테아레이트를 소량의 톨루엔, 키실렌등의 용제에 반응시킨 후 이를 다시 등유나 미네랄스피리트에 용해시킨 상기 실리콘 고무용액(폴리머클로이드 용액)에 분산시켜 사용한다. 그 결과 시공시 신속히 시공면 내부로 침투하고 용제가 휘발하면 고형분이 시공면의 재료와 물리적 접착력에 의해 부착하여 표면장력의 변화를 주어 방수성능을 발휘하게 된다.The present invention is made of polydimethylsiloxane (ASTMD-1418, Polymer Clsddificston VMQ uncrosslinked elastomer, aka silicone rubber) and aluminum stearate as the main raw materials, and after reacting aluminum stearate with a small amount of toluene, xylene, etc. It is then used by dispersing in the silicone rubber solution (polymer polymer solution) dissolved in kerosene or mineral spirit. As a result, during construction, if it penetrates into the construction surface quickly and the solvent is volatilized, the solid content adheres by the material and the physical adhesion of the construction surface to change the surface tension, thereby exhibiting waterproof performance.

본 발명의 제조방법은 자세히 설명하면 알루미늄스테아레이트와 톨루엔이나 키실렌을 반응시킨 후 이를 다시 미가황체 폴리디메틸실록산 즉 실리콘 고무를 미네랄스피리트, 등유 또는 이들의 혼합액으로 폴리머콜로이드 용액으로 만든 것과 혼합시킨다.In detail, the manufacturing method of the present invention reacts aluminum stearate with toluene or xylene, and then mixes the unvulcanized polydimethylsiloxane, that is, silicone rubber with a polymer colloidal solution using mineral spirit, kerosene or a mixture thereof.

종래의 실리콘수지 용제형 침투성도포방수제는 삼차원 망상구조로 가교결합된 수지를 방향족 용제에 희석한 것이어서 건물구체와 실리콘수지분자와의 물리적 부찰력이 극히 약해 가벼운 충격, 진동에 의해서 실리콘수지분자가 구체로부터 탈리된다는 약점이 있으나 본 발명의 폴리디메틸실속산은 선상의 유연한 고분자로서 매우 강하게 구체에 달라붙으므로 우수한 성능으로 내구성을 갖는 것이 특징이다.Conventional silicone resin-type permeable coating waterproofing agent is obtained by diluting a cross-linked resin in an aromatic solvent with a three-dimensional network structure, so that physical resilience between the building sphere and the silicone resin molecule is extremely weak. Although it has a weakness to desorb from the polydimethyl siloxane of the present invention is a linear flexible polymer is very strong because it adheres to the sphere is characterized by having excellent durability and excellent performance.

본 발명의 침투성도포방수제의 효과를 알기 위하여 시판중에 있는 아쿠아씰(상품명, 일본제철화학제품)과 염화비닐, 염화비닐리덴 침투성도포방수제[고분자방수(高分子防水), 고분자간행회(高分子刊行會), P. 143(1972)]과 본 발명의 방수제를 한국공업규격 KSF2451(건축용시멘트방수제 시험방법)에 의해 시험한 결과는 다음 표 1 과 같으며, 표 1 에서 보는 바와 같이 본 발명의 방수제의 특징은 흡수비, 투수비 등이 현저히 우수함을 알 수 있다.In order to know the effect of the permeable coating waterproofing agent of the present invention, commercially available aqua seals (trade name, manufactured by Nippon Steel Chemical Co., Ltd.) and vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride permeable coating waterproofing agent [polymer waterproofing, polymer publishing] ), P. 143 (1972)] and the waterproofing agent of the present invention according to the Korean Industrial Standard KSF2451 (Testing Method for Construction Cement Waterproofing Agent) are shown in Table 1 below.
