Definitions

• the present invention relates to a substrate coated with a multi-layer coating system and to a process for controlling aquatic biofouling on man-made objects using such multi-layer coating system.
• Man-made structures such as ship and boat hulls, buoys, drilling platforms, dry dock equipment, oil production rigs, aquaculture equipment and netting and pipes which are immersed in water, or have water running through them, are prone to fouling by aquatic organisms such as green and brown algae, barnacles, mussels, and the like.
• Such structures often are of metal, but may also be made of other structural materials such as concrete, glass re-enforced plastic or wood.
• Such fouling is a nuisance on ship and boat hulls, because it increases frictional resistance during movement through the water. As a consequence speed is reduced and fuel consumption increased.
• coatings with polysiloxane-based resins resist fouling by aquatic organisms.
• Such coatings are for example disclosed in GB 1307001 and US 3,702,778. It is believed that such coatings present a surface to which the organisms cannot easily adhere, and they can accordingly be called fouling release or fouling resistant rather than anti-fouling coatings.
• Silicone rubbers and silicone compounds generally have very low toxicity.
• an anti-fouling composition comprising a curable organosiloxane-containing polymer and a fluorinated oxyalkylene- containing polymer or oligomer.
• Coating compositions based on curable polysiloxane resins are relatively soft at room temperature.
• polysiloxane based coatings have been blended or crossl inked with stronger polymers such as epoxy resins or polyurethanes.
• WO 2012/146023 is disclosed a one-package moisture curable coating composition comprising 10-99 wt% silane terminated polyurethane and 1 -90 wt% silane terminated polysiloxane.
• the polyurethane and the polysiloxane self-crosslink to form an organic-inorganic hybrid network. Microphase separation occurs at the surface and polysiloxane forms a surface structure with low surface energy that provides foul release properties.
• a coating composition for use as a tie coat or a top coat in a foul release coating, comprising a curable polysiloxane and a silane terminated polyurethane.
• the curable polysiloxane and the silane terminated polyurethane are designed to co-cure.
• polysiloxane resins Although very good in providing foul release properties, an important disadvantage of polysiloxane resins is that many other resins do not adhere to surfaces contaminated with polysiloxane resins. So, if a surface is contaminated with polysiloxane resin due to overspray or spilling of a polysiloxane-based coating, such surface has to be cleaned before a primer or other coating can be applied to it. Contamination of coating compositions based on non-polysiloxane based resins with a small amount of a polysiloxane-based composition, also has a negative impact on aesthetics of the coating. It typically causes pin hole and fish eye effects. Therefore, separate equipment for polysiloxane-based and non-polysiloxane-based coating has to be used. Even coating compositions containing a very small amount of polysiloxane resin give rise to contamination issues.
• a multiple layer coating system comprising a tie-coat layer deposited from a tie-coat composition based on a binder polymer obtainable by copolymerizing a mixture of ethylenically unsaturated monomers and comprising curable alkoxysilyl functional groups, and a foul release topcoat deposited from a foul release coating composition comprising a curable polymer with an organic polymer backbone with terminal and/or pendant alkoxysilyl groups and essentially free of curable polysiloxane, provides good foul release properties and good adhesion to a substrate without giving rise to contamination issues.
• the invention provides a substrate coated with a multi-layer coating system comprising:
• a tie-coat layer applied to the substrate or to the optional primer layer deposited from a tie-coat composition
• a tie-coat composition comprising a binder polymer obtainable by copolymerizing a mixture of ethylenically unsaturated monomers, the binder polymer comprising curable alkoxysilyl functional groups
• a topcoat layer applied to the tie-coat layer, the topcoat layer deposited from a non-aqueous liquid foul release coating composition comprising a curable resin system comprising
• a curable polymer having a backbone selected from a polyurethane, a polyether, a polyester, a polycarbonate or a hybrid of two or more thereof, and having at least one terminal or pendant alkoxysilyl group of formula
• n 1 , 2 or 3, preferably 2 or 3;
• each of R 1 and R 2 is, independently, an alkyl radical having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, preferably 1 to 4 carbon atoms;
• n is an integer with a value in the range of from 1 to 20, and optionally
• non-aqueous liquid foul release coating composition is essentially free of a curable polysiloxane.
• the coated substrate according to the invention has foul release properties that are similar to or even better than substrates coated with compositions based on polysiloxane resins.
• the coated substrate moreover, has ice-release properties.
• An important advantage of the foul release coating composition used to obtain the coated substrate according to the invention is that surfaces contaminated with small amounts of the foul release coating composition can be coated with a primer or a topcoat without a negative impact on adhesion or aesthetics.
• a further advantage is that the foul release coating composition used to obtain the coated substrate according to the invention provides coated substrates with improved mechanical properties, in particular abrasion resistance, compared to substrates coated with top-coat compositions based on polysiloxane resins.
• the coated substrate according to the invention can be immersed and gives protection against fouling.
• the foul release coating composition provides coatings with very good fouling-resistant and foul release properties. This makes these coating compositions very suitable for coating objects that are immersed in an aquatic environment, such as marine and aquaculture applications.
• the multi-layer coating system can be applied to substrates that form the surface of both dynamic and static structures, such as ship and boat hulls, buoys, drilling platforms, oil production rigs, floating production storage and offloading vessels (FPSO), floating storage and regasification units (FSRU), cooling water intake in power plants, fish nets or fish cages and pipes which are immersed in water.
• FPSO floating production storage and offloading vessels
• FSRU floating storage and regasification units
• the invention provides a process for controlling aquatic biofouling on a surface of a man-made object, comprising the steps of:
• composition to cure to form a cured tie-coat layer and a cured foul release coating layer
• the coated substrate according to the invention is coated with a multi-layer coating system.
• the multi-layer coating system optionally has a first primer layer a) deposited from a primer coating composition; such layer is directly applied to the substrate.
• the multi-layer coating system has a tie-coat layer b) that is directly applied to the substrate, or, in case the multi-layer coating system comprises a primer layer, to the primer layer.
• the multi-layer coating system has a top-coat layer c) applied to tie-coat layer b) and deposited from a non-aqueous liquid foul release coating composition.
• each layer (primer, tie-coat, topcoat) of the multi-layer coating system may be applied by applying a single layer or multiple layers of the relevant coating composition.
