For example, potassium tripolyphosphate (manufactured by Taihei Chemical Sangyo Co., Ltd.), Primer 850 (trade name) (manufactured by Rohm & Haas), Demol EP (trade name) (manufactured by Kao Corp.) DISCOAT N-14 (product) Name) (Daiichi Kogyo Seiyaku Co., Ltd.), Orotan 165A (trade name) (R & H), SN Dispersant 5020 (trade name) (San Nopco).

The antifoaming agent is not particularly limited as long as it is generally used as an antifoaming agent. Examples include hydrophobic silica, metal soap, amide, modified silicone, silicone compound, polyether, emulsion, and powder. For example, as the hydrophobic silica, Nopco SN deformer 777 (trade name) (manufactured by San Nopco Co., Ltd.), SN deformer VL (trade name) (manufactured by San Nopco Co., Ltd.), and Nopco NXZ (trade name) (San Nopco for metal soaps) Nopco 267-A (trade name) (manufactured by San Nopco Co., Ltd.) as an amide type antifoaming agent, Silicone KM80 (trade name) (manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical), silicone as a modified silicone antifoaming agent SN Deformer 121N (trade name) (manufactured by San Nopco Co., Ltd.) as a compound type anti-foaming agent, SN Deformer PC (trade name) (manufactured by San Nopco Co., Ltd.), an emulsion type anti-foaming agent as a polyether type anti-foaming agent Nopco KF-99 (trade name) (manufactured by San Nopco Co., Ltd.), SN Deformer 14-HP (trade name) ( N'nopuko Ltd. Co.) and the like can be exemplified.

Examples of the preservative include ACTICIDE LG (trade name) (manufactured by So Japan Co., Ltd.), ACTICIDE MBS (trade name) (manufactured by So Japan Co., Ltd.), and the like.
The film forming aid is not particularly limited as long as it is generally used as a film forming aid. For example, CS-12 (trade name) (manufactured by Chisso Corporation), benzyl alcohol, butyl glycol, 2-ethylhexyl glycol, phenylpropylene glycol, dibutyl diglycol, dipropylene glycol mono n-butyl ether, tripropylene mono Organic esters of polyhydric alcohol monoalkyl ethers such as glycol n-butyl ether, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, ethylene glycol mono n-butyl ether, diethylene glycol mono n-butyl ether, 3-ethoxypropionic acid esters, 3-methoxy-3 acetate -Methyl-butyl and the like can be exemplified.

Furthermore, the paint additive and paint according to the present invention may contain a compound having a methyl group at both ends of a polydimethylsiloxane structure represented by the following formula (IV) (generally called silicon oil).
(IV): [—Si (CH ₃ ) ₂ —O—] n
[Wherein n is usually a natural number of 10 to 100. ]
When silicon oil is added, the stain resistance of the formed coating film can be improved. This is because dimethylsilane can impart water repellency to the dried coating film and prevent adhesion of dirt.
Specific examples of such silicone oil include, for example, X-22 173DX, X-22 170BX, X-22 170DX, X-22 176DX, X-22 160F (trade names) (manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.). ) And the like.

The timing of adding the silicone oil to the paint additive and paint is not particularly limited as long as the paint additive and paint intended by the present invention can be obtained. For example, in the stage of producing the aqueous resin (A), in addition to (a) the polymerizable unsaturated monomer, it may be present during the polymerization of the monomer, or (A) the aqueous resin is produced after the aqueous resin is produced. It can also be added, and can also be added to the paint when the paint is manufactured.

Such silicone oil includes “silicone oil having an ethylenic double bond”. "Silicon oil having an ethylenic double bond" refers to a compound that can impart a polydimethylsiloxane structure represented by the following formula (IV) to the aqueous resin (A) obtained by radical polymerization reaction, and is the present invention. If (A) aqueous resin which concerns on this is obtained, and the target additive for coating materials can be obtained, it will not restrict | limit in particular.
(IV): [—Si (CH ₃ ) ₂ —O—] n
[Where n is a natural number of 10 to 100. ]
The “ethylenic double bond” is as described above.
It is preferable to add the “silicone oil having an ethylenic double bond” to the paint at the stage of (A) producing the aqueous resin, and (a) the polymerizable unsaturated monomer.

As such a silicon oil having an ethylenic double bond, a silicon oil having an ethylenic double bond on one end side of a polydimethylsiloxane structure is preferable. For example, X-22 174DX (trade name), X-22 2426 X-22 2475 (trade name) (manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.), X-22 174DX (trade name) is preferred.

The use of silicon oil having an ethylenic double bond is more preferred because it is considered that the stain resistance of the formed coating film can be further improved. When silicone oil with ethylenic double bond is used, (A) dimethylsiloxane structure can be incorporated into water-based resin, so the dimethylsiloxane structure gives water repellency to the dried film and prevents the adhesion of dirt. Because it can. Furthermore, since the dimethylsiloxane structure is incorporated into the (A) aqueous resin by chemical bonding, the performance can be maintained for a longer period.
Silicon oils having an ethylenic double bond can be used alone or in combination. Silicon oil having an ethylenic double bond is not taken into account when calculating the Tg of the (A) aqueous resin.

As described above, the paint additive according to the present invention comprises (A) an aqueous resin obtained by polymerizing (a) a polymerizable unsaturated monomer.
Compared with conventional additives, the paint additive of the present invention is superior in water resistance and stain resistance to the coating film formed from the paint, and has a good balance of weather resistance, surface tack, etc. Excellent. This is considered to be due to the following reason.

The paint additive of the present invention functions as a protective colloid in the paint, and appears to appear on the surface of the paint film formed from the paint when the paint film dries. When it rains, the hydrophilic group contained in the paint additive, that is, the “highly hydrophilic hydroxyl group” is deposited on the surface of the coating film, which can effectively wash off the dirt adhering to the coating film. It is assumed that the contamination resistance is improved.
In addition, since the acid value of the (A) aqueous resin is controlled to a specific value of 20 to 60 mg KOH / g, the decrease in water resistance can be further reduced.
Further, (A) the aqueous resin uses (a2) a monomer having an alkoxysilyl group and an ethylenic double bond, so that the coating additive is crosslinked when the coating film is dried. As a result, it is considered that the contamination resistance performance is further sustained, and the weather resistance and the surface tack performance are also improved.
For the reasons described above, the paint additive and the paint containing the paint additive according to the present invention are considered to have excellent properties, but the present invention is not limited at all by these reasons.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described specifically and in detail with reference to examples and comparative examples, but these examples are only one aspect of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to these examples. In addition, a part means a weight part in an Example.
