Description

ANTIFOULING COATING COMPOSITIONS
Technical Field
This invention is concerned with antifouling coating compositions used on surfaces likely to come into contact with marine fouling organisms such as algae, seaweed and barnacles, for example on ships or boats or on the outfalls for cooling water from power stations. Such coating compositions generally comprise a biocide for marine organisms and a binder polymer. More particularly, i t re l ates to compos i ti ons capab l e of formi ng a coati ng film having an improved binder polymer.
Background Art
The most successful antifouling paints in recent, years have been self-polishing antifouling paints using binders which are linear polymers containing pendent side groups (hereinafter called "leaving groups") which are liberated from the polymer by reaction with seawater, the residual polymer being sufficiently dispersible or soluble in seawater to be swept away from tne paint surface, exposing a fresh layer of the binder able to undergo a similar reaction with seawater. Such paints are described for examcle in British Patent 1457590. The gradual thinning of the paint film controls the release of a biocide active against fouling. The well-known benefits of such self- polishing paints are that the paint film tends to at least retain its initial smoothness and that the biociσe contained in the paint tends to be delivered from the surface at a more uniform or constant rate.
The only commercially significant self-polishing paints employ binders which comprise triorganotin ester leaving groups. The triorganotin provides some of the biocidal action of the paints and the triorganotin ester readily undergoes the hydrolysis on which the self-polishing action is dependant. The biocidal activity can be augmented by other antifouling supstances dispersed or dissolved in the paint film. There may be aαvantages in replacing some or all of the triorganotin ester leaving groups by other leaving groups, which are not necessarily biocidal. botn for cost reasons and because the powerful biocidal effects of triorganotin may not be desired.
International Patent Application WO84/02915, for example, discloses an antifouling paint having a hydrolysable film-forming water-insoluble seawater-erodible polymeric binder having recurring groups represented by the formula:
Figure imgf000004_0001
where X is hydrogen or methyl, R is a substituted alkyl, aryl, aralkyl or triorganosilyl moiety and B is the residue of an ethylenically unsaturated comonomer. WO84/02915 describes a wide range of groups R, but it has been found in practice that the less readily hydrolysable groups R such as benzyl, aminoalkyl and haloalkyl groups do not give a polymer which dissolves in seawater. WO84/02915 also describes hydrolysable groups R which are triorganosilyl groups and these are further described in US Patent 4593055. The triorganosilyl groups undergo rapid hydrolysis, but this can give rise to gelation of the paint composition on storage and undesirably rapid dissolution of the paint from a ship's hull in use.

146969 describes an antifouling coating containing a copolymer of 10-90 molar % triorganosilyl acrylate or methacrylate units and 0.1-10 molar % tertiary aminoalkyl acrylate or methacrylate units.
Disclosure of Invention
An antifouling coating composition according to the present invention containing a biocide for marine organisms and comprising as binder a polymer having pendent triorganosilyl carboxylate groups, is characterised in that the coating composition contains a monoamine having at least 4 carbon atoms or a quaternary monoammonium compound. The amine or quaternary ammonium compound inhibits gelation of the coating composition curing storage. Paints containing a polymer having pendent triorganosilyl carboxylate groups may be liable to gelation during storage, particularly when the paint contains a metal compound as pigment, for example a copper or zinc compound such as cuprous oxide. The amine or quaternary ammonium compound also controls the rate of dissolution of the coating in use on a ship moving through seawater, prolonging the length of time for which the coating is effective. The binder polymer is preferably a triorganosilyl acrylate or methacrylate polymer containing repeat units of the formula:
Figure imgf000005_0001
where X represents H or CH3 and R represents a triorganosilyl moiety of the formula Si(R')3, where the groups R', which can be the same or different, represent straightchain or branched alkyl groups having 1 to 10 carbon atoms or phenyl groups.
The polymer is preferably produced by addition polymerisation of a triorganosilyl acrylate or methacrylate of the formula:
Figure imgf000005_0002
where R has the above meaning, using a free radical catalyst such as an azo compound or a peroxide, preferably in solution in an organic solvent. Examples of monomers of the formula (I) are tributylsilyl acrylate, triphenylsilyl acrylate, phenyldimethylsilyl acrylate, diphenylmetnylsilyl acrvlate, tri - i sopropyl si l yl acrylate and trimetnylsilyl acrvlate, and the corresponding methacrylates. Examples of suitable solvents are an aromatic hydrocarbon such as xylene or toluene, optionally mixed with an aliphatic hydrocarbon such as white spirit, an ester such as butyl acetate, ethoxyethyl acetate or metnoxypropyl acetate, an alcohol such as butanol or butoxy-ethanol, or a ketone such as methyl isobutyl ketone or methyl lsoamyl ketone.
The triorganosilyl acrylate or methacrylate monomer is generally copolymerised with one or more ethylemcally unsaturated comonomers which do not undergo hydrolysis in seawater, for example acrylic esters such as methyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate. butyl acrylate or 2-ethyl hexyl methacrylate, styrene, acrylonitrile. vinyl acetate, vinyl butyrate, vinyl chloride or vinyl pyridine. Units of the triorganosilyl acrylate or methacrylate monomer can for example form 15 to 60 mole % of the resulting copolymer, preferably 20 to 45 mole % .
The polymer binder can alternatively be formed by reacting a carboxylic-acid-functional polymer, for example a copolymer of acrylic or methacrylic acid with an ethylenically unsaturated comonomer of the type described above, with a triorganosilyl compound such as a hexa-alkyl disilazane or a bis(triorganosilyl) urea. The polymer binder can alternatively be a block copolymer of a triorganosilyl acrylate or methacrylatepolymer with polyether or polymethane blocks or blocks of another addition polymer such as polymethyl methacrylate as described in US Patent 4957989. The monoamine used in the coating composition is preferably a primary amine, although a secondary or tertiary amine can be used. The amine or quaternary ammonium compound preferably includes at least one organic group having at least 8 carbon atoms, more preferably 8 to 20 carbon atoms. Such amines and quaternary ammonium compounds generally have the additional advantage that they are toxic to marine organisms. Primary amines having at least 8 carbon atoms are particularly preferred. The monoamine can for example be a diterpene-derived amine of the formula:
R2
Figure imgf000007_0002
R1 - N - R3 where R1 is a monovalent hydrocarbon group derived from a diterpene and R2 and R3 are each independently hydrogen, an alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms or an aryl group having 6 to 12 carbon atoms. These amines are usually toxic. Such an amine is preferably derived from rosin. A primary amine derived from rosin is dehydroabietylamine sold commercially as "Rosin Amine D" . Its main constituent is
Figure imgf000007_0001
A corresponding secondary or tertiary amine, for example an N-methyl or N,N-dimethyl derivative of Rosin Amine D, can alternatively be used.
The monoami ne can al ternati ve l y be an al i phati c ami ne containing an organic group of 12 to 20 caroon atoms, for example a straight-chain alkyl or alkenyl amine such as dodecyl amine. hexadecyl amine, octadecyl amine or oleyl amine or mixtures of amines derived from aliphatic groups present in natural fats and oils such as tallow amine or hydrogenated tallow amine or coconut amine. These amines also are usually toxic.
Alternative monoamines which can be used are aralkyl- amines such as these sold commercially as "phenalkamines". The quaternary monoammonium compound can for example be a halide salt, e.g. hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride. The proportion of triorganosilyl polymer binder to amine or quaternary ammonium compound in the coating composition is preferaply 98:2 to 40:60 by volume, most preferably 90:10 to 50:50. Amines naving no film-forming properties are preferably used at no more than 25% based on the combined volume of polymer and amine, whereas film- forming amines such as the diterpene derivatives can be used at a higher proportion if desired.
If an amine or quaternary ammonium compound which is biocidal to marine organisms is used the resulting coating composition can be a clear antifouling varnish or can be pigmented. If a non-biocidal amine or quaternary ammonium compound is used the coating composition should contain a marine biocide. The coating preferably contains a pigment, and the same material may function simultaneously both as a marine biocide and as a pigment if a biocidal pigment is used. The coating composition preferably contains an organic solvent for the triorganosilyl polymer binder; if tne polymer is prepared in solution the polymer solution produced can be used in preparing the paint. The amine or quaternary ammonium compound can be premixed with the triorganosilyl polymer binder before addition of other components of the coating composition, or the binder polymer can simultaneously be mixed with the amine or quaternary ammonium compound and a pigment. For example, the triorganosilyl polymer binder and the amine or quaternary ammonium compound can be mixed with pigment using conventional paint-blending procedures to provide a composition having a pigment volume concentration of, for example, 25 to 55%. The pigment is preferably a sparingly soluble pigment having a solubility in seawater of from 0.5 to 10 parts per million by weight and is preferably a metalliferous pigment. The pigment is most preferably a copper or zinc compound, for example cuprous oxide, cuprous thiocyanate, zinc oxide, zinc ethylene bis(dithiocarbamate), zinc dimethyl dithiocarbamate, zinc diethyl dithiocarbamate or cuprous ethylene bis(dithiocarbamate). These sparingly soluble pigments which are copper and zinc compounds are generally also marine biocides. The sparingly soluble metalliferous pigments produce water-soluble metal compounds on reaction with seawater so that the pigment particles do not survi ve at the paint surface. Mixtures of sparingly soluble pigments can be used, for example cuprous oxide, cuprous thiocyanate or zinc ethylene bis(dithiocarbamate), which are highly effective biocical pigments, can be mixed with zinc oxide, which is less effective as a biocide but dissolves slightly more rapidly in seawater.
The paint composition can additionally or alternatively contain a pigment which is not reactive with seawater and may be highly insoluble in seawater (solubility below 0.5 part per million oy weight) such as titanium dioxide or ferric oxide or an organic pigment such as a phthalocyanine pigment. Such highly insoluble pigments are preferably used at less than 40% by weight of the total pigment component of the paint, most preferably less than 20%.
The antifouling paint can also contain a non-metalliferous biocide for marine organisms, for example tetramethyl thiuram disulphide, methylene bis(thiocyanate), captan, a substituted isothiazolone or 2-methyl thιo-4-t- butylamino-6-cyclopropylamino-s-triazine.
The antifouling coating composition of the invention is generally applied from a solution in an organic solvent: for example when the triorganosilyl polymer is prepared in an organic solvent the polymer solution can be used directly in the paint. It can optionally be diluted by further solvent, preferaply selected from the solvents listed above.
The invention is illustrated by the following Example. Example
15 molar % phenyldimethylsilyl acrylate, 15 molar % trimethylsilyl methacrylate and 70 molar % butyl methacrylate were copolymerised as a 40% by weight solution in xylene at 70°C using azobisisobutyronitrile as initiator. The resulting triorganosilyl copolymer solution was mixed with pigments, structuring agents. Rosin Amine D and additional solvent in a high-speed disperser and ground to a particle size of 25 microns to produce an antifouling paint having the following formulation:
Per Cent by We i ght
Triorganosilyl copolymer 1 5 . 1
Xylene 31 . 0
Methyl isoamyl ketone 1 4 . 9
Cuprous oxide 28 . 7
Titanium dioxide 3 . 4
Structuring Agents (bentonite clay,
zeolite and silica) 1 . 7
Rosin Amine D 4 . 6
A sample of the paint produced was stored in a can at 45°C for 22 days. A slight skin formed at the surface of the paint but the paint was still sprayable. By comparison, a paint (A) based on the same copolymer ano having the same pigment volume concentration but containing no Rosin Amine D had gelled on storage and was not sprayable.
Further samples of the paints produced were applied as twe stripes 90 microns thick on a disc. The disc was rotated in seawater for 80 days as a test designed to measure the rate of dissolution of the paints when used as a self-polisning antifouling paint. The thickness of the paint strioes was measured before and after tne trial and the rate of polishing away of paint was calculated. The rate of dissolution of the paint of the invention was only 44% of that of the comparison paint (A).
