Description

DESCRIPTION TITLE OF INVENTION
Antifouling Paint Composition, Antifouling Coating Film, and Method of
Controlling Hydrolysis Rate of Antifouling Coating Film
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to an antifouling paint composition, and more specifically to an antifouling paint composition that allows formation of an antifouling coating film having a constant hydrolysis rate in water. Furthermore, the present invention relates to an antifouling coating film formed from the antifouling paint composition and a method of controlling a hydrolysis rate of the antifouling coating film in water.
BACKGROUND ART
Underwater structures such as marine vessels, various fishnets including those is for aquaculture, harbor facilities, oil fences, piping materials, bridges, buoyages, industrial water facilities, and sea bottom bases are exposed at all times in water where living organisms inhabit. Accordingly, as time passes, microorganisms such as bacteria adhere to these underwater structures while plants and animals such as acorn barnacles, sea mussels, sea lettuce, and diatoms that take Hves of these bacteria for food also adhere to these underwater structures, When the surface of the underwater structure is covered with these microorganisms and plants and animals, there occur damages such as corrosion of the covered area, a decrease in fuel efficiency of vessels due to an increase in frictional resistance of vessels to seawaier, massive death of fish and shellfishes due to clogging of fishnets, sinking of a buoyage due to reduced buoyancy, deterioration in operation efficiency, and the like,
In order to prevent adhesion of these harmful organisms, it is general to use a method of painting an antifouling paint containing one or more types of antifouling agents and a binder resin on the surface of the underwater structure to form an antifouling coating film on this surface. Various types of antifouling components each effective as an antifouling agent have been found so far and put into practical usc.
Among others, cuprous oxide (CuO) is known as an animal-resistant antifouling agent that can effectively prevent adhesion of animals such as acorn barnacles and regarded as one of frequently used antifouling agents. Various antifouling paints are proposed b that include cuprous oxide as an antifouling agent or include a combination of cuprous oxide and another antifouling agent having an antifouling effect against algae.
For example, Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 10-298455 (PTL 1) discloses an antifouling paint composition containing cuprous oxide; bis(Z-pyridinethiol-1-oxide} copper salt; and one type of compounds selected from 2,4,5,6- tetrachloroisophthalonitrile, N,N-dimethyl-dichlorophenylurea, and zinc dimethyl dithiocarbamate. Furthermore, Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2001-342432 (PTL 2) discloses, as antifouling agents, a combination of cuprous oxide and 4,5-dichioro-2- n~octyl-3(2H)-isothiazoline; a combination of cuprous oxide and 2-pyridinethiol-1- oxide zinc salt; and a combination of cuprous oxide, 2-pyridinethicl-1-oxide copper salt and zinc ethylenebisdithiocarbamate, and the like.
On the other hand, as a binder resin used for an antifouling paint, a hydrolyzable resin having a hydrolyzable group such as, for example, a metal- containing group in a side chain of the resin has been used in recent years since an antifouling coating film of the hydrolyzable resin is self-polished by gradual! hydrolysis due fo immersion in water, which allows a long-term antifouling property to be exhibited (see PTL 1 and PTL 2 as described above).

SUMMARY OF INVENTION TECHNICAL PROBLEM
Although cuprous oxide (CuO) is an effective antifouling component particularly as an animal-resistant antifouling agent, it is generally necessary to increase the blending amount of cuprous oxide in order to obtain an antifouling paint composition having a sufficiently high antifouling property by using cuprous oxide.
However, in the antifouling paint composition containing a large amount of cuprous oxide and a hydrolyzable resin as a binder resin, the hydrolysis rate of the formed antifouling coating film in water does not become constant, which causes a problem that a high antifouling property cannot be exhibited in a stable manner. Specifically, depending on the type of the hydrolyzable group contained in the hydrolyzable resin, even if the hydrolysis rate was relatively constant in the early stage of immersion in water, the hydrolysis rate sometimes rose rapidly after a lapse of a certain time period of immersion in water, or the hydrolysis rate was constant for a while after immersion in water, but the hydrolysis rate subsequently fell, and self-polishing of the coating film hardly progressed.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an antifouling paint composition that allows formation of an antifouling coating film having a constant hydrolysis rate for a long period of time, thereby allowing a high antifouling property to be exhibited for a long period of time {for example, for the entire period during ship navigation) in a stable manner. Also, another object of the present invention is to provide an antifouling coating film formed from the antifouling paint composition, and a method of controlling the hydrolysis rate of the antifouling coating film in water by using the antifouling paint composition.
SOLUTION TO PROBLEM
The present invention provides an antifouling paint composition containing two or more types of antifouling agents containing 4-bromo-2-(4-chlorophenyl}-5- (trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carbonitrile; and an acrylic resin having a group expressed in a general formula (1) 0 —{Xj—C—O0—M—a (1) (where X is a group expressed in a general formula

It is preferable that the antifouling agents include a first antifouling agent that is a 4-bromo-2-{4-chlorophenyl)-S-{triflucromethyl}- 1 H-pyrrole-3-carbounitrile; and a second antifouling agent that is at least one type selected from the group consisting of zing pyrithione, copper pyrithione, pyridine-triphenyiborane, 1,1-dichloro-N- [(dimethylamino)sulfonyl}-1-fluoro-N-phenylmethanesulfenamide, |,1-dichloro-N- [(dimethylamino)sulfonyl]-1-fluoro-N-{4-methylphenyl) methanesulfenamide, N'-(3,4- dichlorophenyl)-N,N'-dimethylurea, N'-tert-butyl-N-cyclopropyi-6-(methyithio)-1,3,5- triazine-2, 4-diamine, and 4,5-dichlore-2-n-octyi-4-isothiazoling-3-one.
It is preferable that a ratio between a content of the first antifouling agent and a content of the second antifouling agent is within a range from 1/15 to 1/1 in a mass ratio.
The antifouling paint composition of the present invention does not need to contain cuprous oxide as the antifouling agent,

Furthermore, the present invention provides an antifouling coating film formed using the antifouling paint composition of the present invention. Furthermore, the present invention provides a method of controlling a hydrolysis rate of an antifouling coating film in water that is formed on a surface of an object to be coated. The od -
controlling method of the present invention is characterized by using the antifouling paint composition of the present invention as a paint composition forming the antifouling coating film.
ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS OF INVENTION

Furthermore, according to the antifouling paint composition of the present invention, it becomes possible to form an antifouling coating film that is excellent in long-term antifouling property and also excellent in resistance to cracking, The antifouling paint composition of the present invention can be suitably used as an antifouling paint for preventing fouling on the surface of underwater structures such as marine vessels, various fishnets including those for aquaculture, harbor facilities, oil fences, piping materials, bridges, buovages, industrial water facilities, and sea bottom bases.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
The antifouling paint composition of the present invention includes a hydrolyzable resin having a specific hydrolyzable group that is a binder resin, the first antifouling agent that is 4-bromo-2-(4-chlorophenyl}-S-(trifluoromethyl)-1 H-pyrrole- 3-carbonitrile, and one type or two or more types of antifouling agents different from the first antifouling agent. The antifouling coating film formed from such an antifouling paint composition hydrolyzes at a constant rate for a long period of time in water, especially in seawater. Therefore, according to the antifouling paint composition of the present invention, it becomes possible to obtain a coating film that exhibits a high antifouling performance for a long period of time in a stable manner.
Furthermore, the antifouling coating film formed from the antifouling paint composition of the present invention is excellent in long-term antifouling property and also in resistance to cracking. For example, when an antifouling paint composition is applied to a marine vessel and the like, an antifouling coating film is repeatedly exposed to a cycle of immersion in seawater for a certain time period and landing after this immersion in seawater. Therefore, the antifouling coating film is required to have flexibility sufficient to withstand such a condition. According to the present invention, it becomes possible to form an antifouling coating film that hardly undergoes cracking even after repetition of such a cycie. Each component contained in the antifouling paint composition of the present invention will be hereinafter described in detail. <Binder Resin>
The binder resin used for an antifouling paint composition of the present invention is an acrylic resin (hereinafter referred to as an acrylic resin (A)) having a group expressed in a general formula (1} below in a side chain.
OQ
—XF—C—0—N—A (1) k
Here, X is a group expressed in a general formula 0 ee Qe GY where kis 0 or 1, Y is a hydrocarbon, M is a divalent metal, and A represents an organic acid residue of a monobasic acid.
Generally, acrylic resin (A) exhibits such a property as being gradually hydrolyzed in water (particularly, in sea water), owing to hydrolyzability of metal ester bond included in the group expressed in the general formula (1) above. Therefore, the antifouling coating film formed from such an antifouling paint composition containing the acrylic resin as a binder resin has its surface self-polished by being immersed in water, thereby causing an antifouling component (antifouling agents, and a metal component and an organic acid component generated by hydrolysis of the metal ester bond) to be continuously released from the surface of the coating film. Therefore, antifouling performance is exhibited until the coating film is completely consumed.
However, the present inventors’ studies showed that the antifouling coating film formed from an antifouling paint composition containing acrylic resin (A) as a binder resin and cuprous oxide as a main component of the antifouling agent exhibits a constant hydrolysis rate for a while after immersion in water, but the hydrolysis rate subsequently falls and self-polishing of the coating film hardly progresses, with the result that sufficiently high antifouling performance cannot be exhibited for a long period of time. It is considered that such a phenomenon is caused by interaction between the metal ester portion of the group expressed in the general formula (1) above and cuprous oxide. In other words, it is considered specifically as follows. Even if hydrolysis of the metal esier portion smoothly progresses in the early stage of immersion in water, when self-polishing of the coating film progresses to some extent, the ionized cuprous oxide comes to show a certain interaction with the side chain expressed in the general formula (1) above. This causes a stronger interaction between the metal ester portion and cuprous oxide, thereby making it less likely to cause hydrolysis of the metal ester portion. Consequently, renewability of the coating film by hydrolysis becomes poor,
In the present invention, in order to solve the above-described problems, the antifouling agent described below in detail is used together with acrylic resin (A). By using this antifouling agent, even when acrylic resin (A) is used as a binder resin, the hydrolysis rate of the antifouling coating film can be kept constant for a long period of time, so that high antifouling performance can be exhibited for a long period of time in a stable manner.
Examples of acrylic resin (A) used in the present invention may include an acrylic resin having a group expressed in the general formula (1) above asa hydrolyzable group in a side chain and not having a group expressed in the general formula (2) below in a side chain (this acrylic resin will be hereinafter referred to as an acrylic resin (A1)); an acrylic resin having both of a group expressed in the general formula (1) above and a group expressed in the general formula (2) below as a hydrolyzable group in a side chain (this acrylic resin will be hereinafter referred to as an acrylic resin (A2)); and the like. Each of these resins may be used alone or in combination with two or more types of resins. Furthermore, acrylic resin (Al) and acrylic resin (A2) may be used together. In the present specification, the "acrylic resin” means a resin, at least a part of which is composed of a constitutional unit derived from a (meth)acrylic acid or a derivative thereof, or (meth)aerylic ester. The derivative of a (methacrylic acid also includes a (meth)acrylic acid metal sali. 1 rm Ge Gm SRE (2)
R3 (where R', R* and R” are identical or different and each represent a hydrocarbon residue having a carbon number from | to 20). [Acrylic Resin (A1)]
Acrylic resin (Al} is an acrylic resin having a group expressed in the general formula (1) above as a hydrolyzable group in a side chain and not having a group expressed in the general formula (2) above in a side chain, which is typically an acrylic resin having only a group expressed in the general formula (1) above as a hydrolyzable group in a side chain. In the general formula (1) above, M is a divalent metal and, for example, may be 3A to 7A, 8 and 1B to 7B group elements in the periodic table.
Among them, M is preferably copper or zinc.
In the general formula (1) above, A is an organic acid residue of a monobasic acid. Monobasic acid may be preferably, for example, a monobasic cyclic organic acid and the like. Monobasic cyclic organic acid is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, not only those having a cycloalkyl group such as naphthenic acid but also a resin acid such as a tricyclic resin acid, a salt thereof, and the like. Tricyelic resin acid is not particularly limited, which may be, for example, a monobasic acid having a diterpene-based hydrocarbon skeleton and the like, and examples thereof may be a compound having an abietane, pimarane, isopimarane, or labdane skeleton, and more specifically, examples thereof may be abietic acid, neoabietic acid, dehydroabietic acid, hydrogenated abietic acid, palustric acid, pimaric acid, isopimaric acid, levopimaric acid, dextropimaric acid, sandaracopimaric acid, and a salt thereof, and the like. Among these, abietic acid, hydrogenated abietic acid, and a salt thereof are preferred, because hydrolysis moderately oceurs, which leads to an excellent long- i0 term antifouling property and also excellent resistance to cracking of a coating film and availability, Furthermore, a monobasic cyelic organic acid may preferably have an acid value of 120 10 220 mgKOH/g. By using a monobasic cyclic organic acid having an acid value of not more than 220 mgKOH/g, the viscosity of the obtained binder resin (Al) can be lowered, thereby reducing the solvent content in the paint to be obtained.
This is because the viscosity of binder resin (Al) greatly depends on the interaction between functional groups expressed in general formula (1). Binder resin (Al) obtained by using a monobasic cyclic organic acid having an acid value of not more than 220 mgKOH/g tends to cause an increase in steric repulsion of the monobasic cyclic organic acid, In addition, it is considered that this steric repulsion acts to inhibit the interaction between the functional groups expressed in the general formula {1}, with the result that the viscosity of binder resin {Al) can be lowered. Furthermore, when the acid value is less than 120, the binder resin (Al) to be obtained becomes too hydrophobic, thereby preventing hydrolysis of the obtained coating film, which is not preferable.
The monobasic cyclic organic acid described above does not have to be highly purified, and for example, turpentine, a resin acid of a pine, or the like can also be employed. Examples thereof can include rosin, hydrogenated rosin, disproportionated rosin, and the like, as well as naphthenic acid. The rosin herein refers to gum rosin, wood rosin, tall oil rosin, and the like. The rosin, the hydrogenated rosin, and the digproportionated rosin are preferred because they are inexpensive and readily available and excellent in handleability, and they exhibit a long-term antifouling property. The above-described monobasic cyclic organic acid may be used alone or in combination of two or more types.
Monobasic acids that can be used in the present invention other than the above- described monobasic cyclic organic acids may be, for example, those having a carbon number from | to 20 such as acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, lauryl acid, stearic acid, linolic acid, oleic acid, chloroacetic acid, fluoroacetic acid, and valeric acid.
These monobasic acids may be used alone or in combination of two or more types.
Y in the general formula (1) above is pot particularly limited as long as itis a hydrocarbon, and examples thereof may be a residue obtained when dibasic acid such as phthalic acid, succinic acid and maleic acid are added to a polymerizable unsaturated organic acid monomer.
A method of producing acrylic resin (Al} is not particularly Hmited, and examples thereof include (i) a method of causing reaction among a resin obtained by polymerization of a polymerizable unsaturated organic acid and another copolymerizable unsaturated monomer, a monobasic acid and a metal compound; and (ii) a method of causing reaction among a polymerizable unsaturated organic acid, a metal compound and a monobasic acid or causing reaction between a polymerizable unsaturated organic acid and a metal salt of a monobasic acid, and thereafter polymerizing the obtained metal containing unsaturated monomer and another copolymerizable unsaturated monomer; and the like. The same resin structure is provided in each of the resin oblained in the process of the method {i}, that is, the resin obtained by polymerization of a polymerizable unsaturated organic acid and another copolymerizable unsaturated monomer; and the resin obtained by causing reaction among a polymerizable unsaturated organic acid, a metal compound and a monobasic acid or causing reaction between a polymerizable unsaturated organic acid and a metal salt of a monobasic acid, and thereafter polymerizing the obtained metal containing unsaturated monomer and another copolymerizable unsaturated monomer in accordance with the method (ii), and further hydrolyzing its side chain expressed in the general formula (1). These resins are alse collectively referred to as a "base acrylic resin (al}" in the present specification.
Polymerizable unsaturated organic acid in the above-described methods (i) and (ii} is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a polymerizable unsaturated organic acid having ene or more carboxy! groups, and the like. More specifically, examples of the polymerizable unsaturated organic acid include an unsaturated monobasic acid such as (methacrylic acid; an unsaturated dibasic acid and monoalkyl ester thereof such as maleic acid and monoalky! ester thereof, itaconic acid and monoalkyl ester thereof; a dibasic acid adduct of unsaturated-monobasic acid hydroxy alkyl ester such as a maleic acid adduct of 2-hydroxyethyl (methjacrylate, a phthalic acid adduct of 2-hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, a succinic acid adduct of 2- hydroxyethyl (methjacrylate. These polymerizable unsaturated organic acids may be used alone or in combination of two or more types. Furthermore, in the method (ii), a part or all of the metal containing unsaturated monomer may be replaced with a divalent metal di{meth)acrylate and then used, When divalent metal di{fmeth)acrylate is used, a resin has a cross-linking structure via the group expressed in the general formula (1), and this resin can also be used.
The above-described another copolymerizable unsaturated monomer is not particularly limited, and examples thereof may be, as (methacrylic esters, {methacrylic acid alky! ester with an ester portion having a carbon number from 1 to 20 such as methyl (meth)acrylate, ethy! (meth)acrylate, i-propyl (meth)acrylate, n-butyl (meth)acrylate, -buty] (methacrylate, t-butyl (meth)acrylate, 2-ethythexyl (meth)acrylate, lauryl (meth)acrylate, and stearyl (methacrylate; hydroxy! group- containing {imeth)acrylic acid alkyl ester with an ester portion having a carbon number from 1 to 20 such as 2-hydroxypropy! {(methjacrylate and 2-hydroxyethyl {meth)acrylate; (meth)acrylic acid cyclic hydrocarbon ester such as phenyl (meth}acrylate and cyclohexyl (methacrylate; (methacrylic acid polyalkyleneglycol ester such as polyethyleneglycol mona(methjacrylate and polyethyleneglycol mono
{methacrylate representing a degree of polymerization of 2 to 10; alkoxyalkyl (meth)acrylate having a carbon number from 1 to 3; (meth)acrylamide; a vinyl compound such as styrene, a-methylstyrene, vinyl acetate, vinyl propionate, vinyl benzoate, vinyltoluene, and acrylonitrile; crotonic acid esters; diester of unsaturated 3 dibasic acid such as maleic acid diesters and itaconic acid diesters. The ester portion of (methacrylic esters described above is preferably an alkyl group having a carbon number from 1 to 8, and more preferably an alkyl group having a carbon number from 1 to 6, which is preferably methyl (meth)acrylate, ethyl (meth)acrylate, butyl (meth)acrylate, and cyclohexyl (methacrylate. These may be used alone or in 16 combination of two or more types.
The above-described metal compound is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include metal oxide, metal hydroxide, metal chioride, metal sulfide, basic metal carbonate, acetic acid metal salt, and the like. Also, the monobasic acid described above is not particularly limited, and examples thereof may be those as described above.
Although the number average molecular weight (GPC, in terms of polystyrene) of base acrylic resin {al) described above is not particularly limited, it is preferably 2000 or more and 100000 or less, and more preferably 3000 or more and 40000 or less.
The number average molecular weight less than 2000 may cause deterioration in the film forming performance of the coating film while the number average molecular weight exceeding 100000 may cause deterioration in the storage stability of the obtained paint, which is not only suitable for practical use, but also not preferable in terms of public health and economical efficiency since a large amount of dilution solvents needs to be used during coating.
Acrylic resin (Al) contains at least one group expressed in general formula (1).
By adjusting the content of the group expressed in the general formula (1), the elution rate of the coating film into water (hydrolysis rate of the coating film) can be controlled at a desirable elution rate. The content of the group expressed in the general formula (1) above can be mainly adjusted by adjusting the acid value of base acrylic resin (al), and the acid value of base acrylic resin (al) is preferably 100 to 250 mgKOH/g.
When the acid value is less than 100 mgKOH/g, the amount of metal salt bonded to a side chain is decreased, which may deteriorate the antifouling property. When the acid value exceeds 250 mgKOH/g, the elution rate becomes too high, and accordingly, a long-term antifouling property tends to be hardly achieved. [Acrylic Resin (A2)]
Acrylic resin {A2) has hoth of a group expressed in the general formula (1) above and a group expressed in the general formula (2) above each as a hydrolyzable group in a side chain. In the general formula (2) above, R', R? and R® are identical or different and each represent a hydrocarbon residue having a carbon number from | to iG 20, and specific examples thereof include a linear or branched alkyl group having a carbon number not more than 20, such as a methyl] group, an ethyl group, an propyl group, an isopropyl group, an n-butyl group, an isobutyl group, a sec-butyl group, a t- butyl group, a pentyl group, a hexyl group, a heptyl group, an octy! group, a nonyl group, a decyl group, an undecyi group, a dodecyl! group, a tridecyl group, and a tetradecy! group; a cyclic alkyl group such as a cyclohexyl group and a substituted cyclohexyl group; an aryl group, a substituted aryl group, and the like. Examples of the substituted aryl group include an aryl group substituted with halogen, an alkyl group having a carbon number up to around 18, an acyl group, a nitro group, an amino group, or the like, and the like. Among these, since a stable polishing rate (polishing speed) can be exhibited in the obtained coating film and antifouling performance can be maintained in a stable manner for a long period, an isopropyl group and the like are preferable.
A method of producing acrylic resin (A2) is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a method (1) of causing reaction among a resin obtained by polymerization of a polymerizable unsaturated organic acid, a monomer component having a triorganosily! group and another copolymerizable unsaturated monomer, a monobasic acid and a metal compound; and a method (IT) of polymerization of a metal- containing unsaturated monomer obtained by causing reaction among a polymerizable unsaturated organic acid, a metal compound and a monobasic acid or reaction between a polymerizable unsaturated organic acid and a metal salt of a monobasic acid; a monomer component having a triorganosily] group; and another copolymerizable unsaturated monomer; and the like. The same resin structure is provided in each of the resin obtained in the process of the method (I), that is, the resin obtained by b polymerization of a polymerizable unsaturated organic acid, a monomer component having a triorganosily] group and another copolymerizable unsaturated monomer, and the resin obtained by polymerization of a metal-containing unsaturated monomer obtained by causing reaction among a polymerizable unsaturated organic acid, a metal compound and a monobasic acid or reaction between a polymerizable unsaturated organic acid and a metal salt of a monobasic acid; a monomer component having a triorganosilyl group; and another copolymerizable unsaturated monomer in accordance with the method (ID), and thereafter hydrolyzing its side chain expressed in the general formula (13. These resins are also collectively referred to as a "base acrylic resin (a2)" in the present specification.
As the monomer component having the triorganosilyl group described above, triorganosilyl (methjacrylate expressed in a general formula (3) below can be preferably used.

In triorganosityl (meth)acrylate expressed in the general formula (3), Z represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group. The above-described RY, R® and R® are identical or different and each represent a hydrocarbon residue having a carbon number from 1 to 20, and examples thereof may be a hydrocarbon residue similar to those of R',
R* and R® described above.
Specific examples of triorganosilyl (methacrylate expressed in the general formula (3) above are not particularly limited, and include trimethylsilyl(meth)acrylate, triethylsilyl (methacrylate, tri-n-propylsilyl (meth)acrylate, tri-i-propylsilyl

Among them, tri-i-propylsilyl (methjacrylate is preferable since it can maintain a stable polishing rate (polishing speed) for a long period of time. These triorganosilyl {meth)acrylates may be used alone or in combination of two or more types.
Examples of polymerizable unsaturated organic acid, another copolymerizable unsaturated monomer, metal compound, and monobasic acid as described ahove may be those described with regard to acrylic resin (Al). These polymerizable unsaturated organic acid, another copolymerizable unsaturated monomer and the like may be used alone or in combination of two or more types.
The number average molecular weight (GPC, in terms of polystyrene) of the above-described base acrylic resin (a2) is not particularly limited, and is preferably 2000 or more and 100000 or less, and more preferably 3000 or more and 40000 or less.
The number average molecular weight less than 2000 may cause deterioration in the film forming performance of the coating film while the number average molecular weight exceeding 100000 may cause deterioration in the storage stability of the obtained paint, which is not only suitable for practical use, but also not preferable in terms of public health and economical efficiency since a large amount of dilution solvents needs to be used during coating.
Acrylic resin (A2) has af least one group expressed in the general formula (1) above and at least one side chain expressed in the general formula (2) above. By adjusting the total content of the groups expressed in the general formula (1) and the general formula (2), the elution rate of the coating film into water (hydrolysis rate of the coating film) can be controlled at a desirable elution rate. The total content of the groups expressed in the general formula (1) and the general formula (2) can be adjusted mainly by adjusting the acid value of base acrylic resin (a2), which is preferably set at 3 30 to 200 mgKOH/g. When the acid value is less than 30 mgKOH/g, the amount of metal salt to be bonded to a side chain is decreased, which may deteriorate the antifouling property. When the acid value exceeds 200 mgKOH/g, the elution rate becomes too high, and accordingly, a long-term antifouling property tends to be hardly achieved.
In the present invention, binder resins other than the above-described acrylic resin {A) may be used as a binder resin. By a combination use of other binder resins, the antifouling performance or resistance to cracking of a coating film may be further improved, and the physical properties and the consumption rate of the coating film can be more readily adjusted. Examples of other binder resins include chlorinated paraffin, 18 polyvinyl ether, polypropylene sebacate, partially hydrogenated terphenyl, polyvinyl acetate, poly (methjacrylic acid alkyl esters, polyether polyol, alkyd resin, polyester resin, polyvinyl chioride, silicone oil, wax; Vaseline; liquid paraffin, rosin, hydrogenated rosin, naphthenic acid, an aliphatic acid, a divalent metal salt thereof, and the like. Particularly, chlorinated paraffin, rosin and hydrogenated rosin are preferably used. Other binder resins may be used alone or in combination of two or more types.
The amount of use of other binder resins described above can be set at 0 to 150 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of acrylic resin {A} in a mass ratio based on the resin solid content. In consideration of improving effects for the antifouling performance and the resistance to cracking and the like, it is preferable to set the amount of use of other binder resins at 0 to 100 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of acrylic resin (A.
Furthermore, the antifouling paint composition of the present invention may contain a hydrolyzable resin other than acrylic resin (A) as a binder resin. Examples of hydrolyzable resins other than acrylic resin {A) include an acrylic resin (B) having a group expressed in the general formula (2) above in a side chain and not having a group expressed in the general formula (1) above. Although the coating film containing acrylic resin (BB) as a binder resin exhibits a relatively constant hydrolysis rate in the b carly stage of immersion in water, the hydrolysis rate tends to subsequently rise abruptly. Accordingly, in order to form an antifouling coating film that is hydrolyzed at a constant rate for a long period of time, the content of acrylic resin (B) is preferably not more than 50 parts by mass, and more preferably not more than 30 parts by mass, with respect to 100 parts by mass of acrylic resin (A) in a mass ratio based on the resin solid content.
In the antifouling paint composition of the present invention, the content of the binder resin is preferably 30 to 70 mass %, and more preferably 40 to 65 mass %, in the solid content contained in the antifouling paint composition. When the content is less than 30 mass %, defects such as cracks or peel-off may occur in the coating film.
Furthermore, when the content exceeds 70 mass %, a desirable antifouling effect tends to be hardly achieved. It is to be noted that the solid content contained in the antifouling paint composition means the total components contained in the antifouling paint composition other than the solvent. <Antifouling Agent>
The antifouling paint composition of the present invention contains two or more types of antifouling agents including 4-bromo-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-(trifiuoromethyl)- 1 H-pyrrole-3-carbonitrile (which will be hereinafter referred to as the first antifouling agent) expressed in the formula (4) below.

The above-described first antifouling agent is an antifouling component that is effective as an animal-resistant antifouling agent. Therefore, by using the first antifouling agent, use of cuprous oxide conventionally frequently used can be completely eliminated or significantly reduced. Consequently, the hydrolysis rate of the antifouling coating film containing an acrylic resin (A) as a binder resin can be set at a constant rate for a long period of time. Furthermore, as cuprous oxide is not used or reduced, the specific gravity of the antifouling paint can be lowered while limitation on the material of the object to be coated can be alleviated. Since the antifouling paint containing cuprous oxide causes corrosion of an aluminum base material, it could not be used for an aluminum object to be coated. The antifouling paint composition of the present invention however can be used also for such an object to be coated without limitation. Furthermore, the blending amount of cuprous oxide that shows redness is reduced, it becomes possible to adjust the color of a coating film to be obtained.
The antifouling paint composition of the present invention contains at least one type of the second antifouling agents in addition to the above-described first antifouling agent. This allows formation of an antifouling coating film exhibiting a high antifouling property against not only aquatic animals but also plants such as algae, and having an excellent antifouling performance against the entire aquatic organisms. As the second antifouling agent, it is preferable to employ an antifouling component that exhibits a high antifouling property against aquatic plants such as algae, and examples thereof include zinc pyrithione (2-pyridinethiol-1-oxide zinc salt); copper pyrithione (2- pyridinethiol-1-oxide copper salt); triphenylborane-amine complexes such as pyridine- triphenylborane; 1,1-dichloro-N-[{dimethylamino)suifonyl]-1-fluoro-N- phenylmethanesulfenamide; 1,1-dichloro-N-[{dimethylamino)sulfonyl}-1-fluoro-N-{4- methylphenyl) methanesulfenamide; 4,5-dichloro-2-n-octyi-4-isothiazoline-3-one; N'- (3,4-dichlorophenyl)-N,N'-dimethylurea; and N'-tert-butyl-N-cyclopropyi-6- (methylthio)-1,3,5-triazine 2,4-diamine; and the like. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more types.
The triphenylborane-amine complex is a complex formed from triphenyliborane and an amine. The amine is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include primary amine such as n-propylamine, n-butylamine, n-hexylamine, n-octylamine, n-
decylamine, n-dedecylamine, n-tridecylamine, n-tetradecylamine, n-hexadecylamine, n-octadecylamine, aniline, and toluidine; secondary amine such as di-n-butylamine, di- n-hexylamine, di-n-octylamine, di-n-decylamine, di-n-dodecylamine, di-n- tridecylamine, di-n-tetradecylamine, di-n-hexadecylamine, di-n-octadecylamine, and diphenylamine; tertiary amine such as tri-n-propylamine, tri-n-hexylaroine, tri-n- octylamine, tri-n-decylamine, tri-n-dodecylamine, tri-n-tridecylamine, tri-n- tetradecylamine, tri-n-hexadecylamine, tri-n-octadecylamine, and triphenylamine; pyridines such as pyridine or pyridine with a substituent on the ring, such as pyridine, 2-picoline, 3-picoline, 4-picoline, 2-chloropyridine, 3-chloropyridine, and 4- i0 chloropyridine.
Among others, pyridine-triphenylborane containing pyridine as an amine is excellent in antifouling property, and therefore, preferably used.
The antifouling paint composition of the present invention can include, for example, cuprous oxide, cuprous thiocyanate {copper rhodanide) or the like as the second antifouling agent, in addition to the components described above, However, when cuprous oxide is used as a main component of the antifouling agent, the antifouling coating film that is hydrolyzed at a constant rate cannot be obtained as described above. Accordingly, when using cuprous oxide, it is preferable that the content of cuprous oxide is set at 15 mass % or less in the solid content contained in the 28 antifouling paint composition, and more preferable that cuprous oxide is not contained.
Furthermore, also when cuprous thiocyanate (copper rhodanide) is used in large amount, there occurs the same phenomenon as that in the case of cuprous oxide.
Accordingly, when using cuprous thiocyanate, it is preferable that the content of cuprous thiocyanate is set at 15 mass % or less in the solid content contained in the antifouling paint composition, and more preferable that cuprous thiocyanate is not contained.
The content of the first antifouling agent is preferably 1 to 60 mass %, and more preferably 3 to 50 mass %, in the solid content contained in the antifouling paint composition. When the content is less than 3 mass %, sufficient antifouling performance against aquatic animals tends to be hard to be achieved. When the content exceeds 60 mass %, defects such as cracks or peel-off may occur in the obtained coating film.
The content of the second antifouling agent (the total amount of antifouling agents other than the first antifouling agent) is preferably 5 to 60 mass %, and more preferably 10 to 55 mass %, in the solid content contained in the antifouling paint composition. When the content is less than 5 mass %, it is less likely to obtain an antifouling paint composition having excellent antifouling performance against the entire aquatic organisms. Furthermore, when the content exceeds 60 mass %, defects such as cracks or peel-off may occur in the obtained coating film.
The total content of the first antifouling agent and the second antifouling agent is preferably § to 70 mass %, and more preferably 10 to 60 mass %, in the solid content contained in the antifouling paint composition. When the total content is less than 5 mass %, it is less likely to obtain an antifouling paint composition excellent in long- i5 term antifouling property. Furthermore, when the total content exceeds 60 mass %, defects such as cracks or peel-off may occur in the coating film.
The ratio {mass ratio) between the content of the first antifouling agent and the content of the second antifouling agent (the total amount of antifouling agents other than the first antifouling agent) is preferably 1/15 to 1/1, and more preferably 1/12 to 1/2. When the mass ratio is less than 1/13, the animal-resistant antifouling property tends to deteriorate. Furthermore, when the mass ratio exceeds 1/1, the algae-resistant antifouling property tends to deteriorate. <Qther Additives>
The antifouling paint composition of the present invention may contain commonly used additives such as a plasticizer, a pigment and a solvent. Examples of plasticizers include phthalate-ester-based plasticizers such as dioctyl phthalate, dimethyl phthalate and dicyclohexyl phthalate; an aliphatic-dibasic-acid-ester-based plasticizer such as isobutyl adipate and dibutyl sebacate; glycol-ester-based plasticizers such as diethylene glyco! dibenzoate and pentaerythrito! alkyl ester; phosphoric-ester-
based plasticizers such as iricresyl phosphate and trichloroethyl phosphate; epoxy- based plasticizers such as epoxy soybean oil and octyl epoxy stearate; organic-tin-based plasticizers such as dioctyltin laurate and dibutyltin laurate; triocty] trimellitate, triacethylene, and the like. These plasticizers may be used alone or in combination of two or more types.
Examples of pigments include extenders such as precipitated barium, talc, clay, chalk, silica white, alumina white and bentonite; color pigments such as titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, basic lead sulfate, tin oxide, carbon black, graphite, red iron oxide (colcothar), chrome yellow, phthalocyanine green, phthalocyanine blue, and quinacridone. These pigments may be used alone or in combination of two or more types.
Examples of solvents include hydrocarbons such as toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene, eyclopentane, octane, heptane, cyclohexane, and white spirit; ethers such as dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, ethyleneglycol monomethyl! ether, ethyleneglyeol monoethy! ether, ethyleneglycol monobatyl ether, ethyleneglycol dibutyl ether, diethyleneglycol monomethyl ether, and diethyleneglycol monoethy! ether; esters such as butyl acetate, propy! acetate, benzyl acetate, ethyleneglycol monomethyl ether acetate, and ethyleneglycol monoethyl ether acetate; ketones such as ethyl isobutyl ketone and methyl isobutyl ketone; alechols such as n-butanol! and propyl alcohol; and the like. These solvents may be used alone or in combination of two or more types.
In addition to the above, for example, the following agents may be added, such as monoester of dicarboxylic acid such as monobutyl phthalate, monoocty! succinate, camphor, castor oil; a water binder, an anti-sagging agent, an anti-floating agent, an anti-settling agent, a defoaming agent, and the like.
The antifouling paint composition of the present invention can be prepared, for example, by adding, to the above-described binder resin, the above-described antifouling agent and, as required, commonly used additives such as a plasticizer, a coating film consumption control agent, a pigment, and a solvent, and mixing the resultant using a mixer such as a ball mill, a pebble mill, a roll mili, or a sand grind mill.
The antifouling coating film can be formed by applying the obtained antifouling paint composition to the surface of the object to be coated in accordance with an ordinary method, and then, volatilizing and removing a solvent at room temperature or under heating. Examples of objects to be coated are not particularly limited, but include underwater structures such as marine vessels, various fishnets, harbor facilities, oil fences, piping materials, bridges, and sea bottom bases. Since the antifouling coating film formed using the antifouling paint composition of the present invention is hydrolyzed at a constant rate for a long period of time, it can exhibit high antifouling performance for a long period of time in a stable manner. Furthermore, the antifouling coating film formed using the antifouling paint composition of the present invention has such an enhanced long-term antifouling property and is excellent in resistance to cracking.

(Evaluation) (1) Long-term Antifouling Property
The obtained antifouling paint composition was applied to a blast plate, to which a rustproof paint had been applied in advance so that a dry film thickness of a coating film 1s 300 pm, and the blast plate was left in a room for 2 days and nights for drying. The test plate having the antifouling coating film was thus obtained. The obtained test plate was subjected to an organism adhesion test by using an experimental raft installed in Marine Research Laboratory of Nippon Paint Marine Coatings Co., Ltd. in Tamano, Okayama Prefecture and an antifouling property was evaluated, The results are shown in Tables 2 to 6. The number of months in the tables shows a period during which the raft was immersed, In addition, numeric values in the tables cach show a proportion (%) of an organism adhering area to an area of the coating film (determination by visual inspection) and are rated based on the following criteria, and a ratio not higher than 1 was determined as pass. i5 Evaluation score 0: Proportion of the organism adhering area to the coating film area (0%
Evaluation score 1: Proportion of the organism adhering area to the coating film area more than 0% and less than 20%
Evaluation score 2: Proportion of the organism adhering area to the coating film area not less than 20% and less than 40%
Evaluation score 3: Proportion of the organism adhering area to the coating film areca not less than 40% and less than 60%
Evaluation score 4: Proportion of the organism adhering area to the coating film area not less than 60% and less than 80%
Evaluation score 5: Proportion of the organism adhering area to the coating film area 80% to 100%
Fig. 1 is a photograph showing an example of the state of the test plate surface after an antifouling property test (organism adhesion test) (24 months after immersion).
In Fig. 1, the left photograph shows an example in the case where the evaluation score of animal adhesion is § while the evaluation score of slime/algae adhesion is 0 (for example, Comparative Example 1}. The center photograph shows an example in the case where the evaluation score of animal adhesion is 0 while the evaluation score of slime/algae adhesion is 5 (for example, Comparative Example 3). The right 3 photograph shows an example in the case where both animals and slime/algae adhere, in which the evaluation score of animal adhesion is 3 while the evaluation score of slime/algae adhesion is 3. (2) State of Coating Film
A state of the coating film on the test plate after 6 months of a rafl immersion 16 period in the long-term antifouling property test above was observed visually and with rubbing, and then evaluated. The results thereof are shown in Tables 2t6 6. A coating film in which no crack was observed was evaluated as A and a coating film in which a crack was observed was evaluated as B.
Test for Resistance to Cracking (Dry and Wet Alternating Test)
A test plate having the antifouling coating film was obtained by applying the obtained antifouling paint composition (0 a blast plate, to which a rustproof paint had been applied in advance so that a dry film thickness of a coating film is 300 um and leaving the blast plate in a room for 2 days and nights for drying. The obtained test plate was immersed for | week in seawater at 40°C followed by drying in a room for 1 week, and a dry and wet alternating test with this procedure being defined as 1 cycle was conducted 20 cycles at the maximum. If a crack is generated in the coating {ilm during the test, the test was terminated at the time point of generation of a crack and the number of cycles at that time point is shown in the tables. A plate having no crack after 20 cycles was evaluated as A. (4) Coating Film Consumption Amount {Polishing Speed) Test
A test plate having the antifouling coating film was obtained by applying the obtained antifouling paint composition to a blast plate, to which a rustproof paint had been applied in advance so that a dry film thickness of a coating film is 300 yum and leaving the biast plate in a room for 2 days and nights for drying. This test plate was bonded to a side surface of 2 cylinder having a diameter of 750 mm and a length of 1200 mm, the cylinder was continuously turned in seawater for 24 months at a peripheral speed of 15 knots, and an amount of consumption of the coating film on the test plate (a total amount of decrease in thickness of the coating film {pum]) was 8 measured every three months, The test results are shown in Tables 2 to 6.
As shown in Tables 2 to 6, the hydrolysis rate (polishing speed) of the antifouling coating film obtained from the antifouling paint composition of cach
Example is almost constant for 24 months, so that a relatively high antifouling property can be exhibited against aquatic animals and slime/algae for a long period of time in a stable manner. Turthermore, it is also found that a long-term antifouling property and excellent resistance to cracking can be achieved. In addition, the state of the coating film is also excellent for a long period of time.
