Description
COMPOSITION COATING FOR BIOFOULING PROTECTION
FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to a composition coating for biofouling protection of underwater parts of marine vessels or underwater constructions such as ships, platforms, buoys, pipes, etc. More particularly, this coating prevents the settlement of fouling marine macro-organisms on the surface of static immersed underwater construction as well as of the underwater part of moving vessels, including these moving with low speed (below 14 knots).
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Composition antifouling pains containing one ore more biocides are well known. Basic disadvantage is their toxicity and the fact that they poison not only the target but also other aquatic organisms.
Non-toxic fouling release coatings called initially "anti fouling" coatings, are also known. US Pat No 4 025 693 discloses antifouling composition coating comprising a mixture of room temperature vulcanizing hydroxyl terminated methyl-phenyl-siloxane rubber with molecular weight of 40 OOO÷IOO 000, and cinematic viscosity of lO÷l 000 St, irrespectively and l÷lO parts by weight of methyl-phenyl-silicone oil with molecular weight of 2 OOO÷ 30 000 and cinematic viscosity of 20÷l 000 cSt, respectively per 100 parts by weight siloxane rubber.
US Pat. No 4 861 670 describes a marine foulers release coating on the base of curing composition containing: 100 parts by weight vinyl end-stopped liquid diorganopolysiloxane with kinematic viscosity of 2 500÷750 000 cSt; 20÷50 parts by weight vinyl functional organopoly(siloxane) co-polymer resin; l÷200 parts by weight non-reinforcing inorganic filler; platinum catalyst and liquid organohydropolysiloxane. Such silicone coating should be applied onto a primed ship hulls to improve the adhesion. Its main disadvantage is that some rest fouling remains after the cleaning of the protected surfaces.
Other patent publications are known which disclose the use of chemically inert oils or greases (slipping agents) in siloxane rubber compositions. German Patent No 1 470 465 describes the use of silicone oils and German Patent No 1 581 727 - of silica free organic compounds, for example polyolefin with molecular weight up to about 5 000, as slipping agents in siloxane rubber fouling release composition coatings. These coatings have the same disadvantage: they only make easy the release of biofoulers without to prevent the settlement.
WO 93/ 13179 describes a composition for protective coating which comprises: (A) a polymer carrying pendant and/or terminal curable functional groups that does not contains siloxane units and (B) a curable organohydropolysiloxane or polydiorganosiloxane, the curable functional groups in component (A) being capable of undergoing a condensation curing reaction with component (B), and normally also a solvent and a curing catalyst.
Another group of patents like for example US Pat. No 5 449 553 and US Pat. No
5 593 732 disclose two-layer protective coating systems with prolonged durability of the protective effect. These protective systems contain underlying tough rubber layer chemically bonded to the fouling releasing top-coat comprising the following components: 90÷99 % by weight hydroxyl terminated organopolysiloxane with dynamic viscosity of 1 000÷50 000 cP; 0.1 ÷5 % by weight alkyl silicate and 0.1 ÷5 % by weight curing agent. The releasing top coat contains 10÷300 % by weight filler. The barnacle adhesion to the top coat is low and the detachment of the biofouling is easy by water jet, i.e. such protective coating systems are of the type "biofouling releasing".
EP No 0881269, US Pat. No 6 107 381 and US Pat. No 6 187 447 disclose other room temperature vulcanizing siloxane rubber based protective coatings that only reduce the marine biofouling. According to the first one, the coating composition contains: pre-treated by non- reactive polyorganosiloxane oil reinforcing silica filler in amount of 10÷150 part by weight /100 parts by weight of reactive polyorganosiloxane; at least one condensation curing catalyst (thin-, zirconium- or titancompound) and at least one curing agent to obtain coating composition with dynamic viscosity up to about 10 000 cP. The discloused in US Pat.No
6 107 381 composition includes free of silanol groups polyorganosiloxan that is able to migrate on the surface and that contains 10÷60 % by weight of at least one hydroxi or alcoxi terminated polyoxialcylenalcyle radical. According to the thirst patent, the compound that is able to migrate on the surface of the cured poly siloxane contains fiuorinated hydrocarbon radical. The described three compositions are suitable for coating of ship hulls to reduce the barnacle adhesion.
US Pat. Appl No 2002 0192181 describes anti-fouling siloxane compositions comprising cured, free of perfluoro-polyether particles, silicone elastomer and liquid fiuorinated alkyl- or alcoxy-containing polymer or oligomer.
Other US Pat. Appl. No 2003 0161962 discloses fouling release siloxane composition including curable fluorinated resin. To achieve self cleaning of the based on both these composition coatings, marine vessel speed higher than 14 knots is necessary. Several Japan patents, JP No 06-045170; JP No 61-043668; JP No 06322294 also disclose the use of fluorinated polymers in fouling release coating with similar fouling release effect.
US Pat. No 6 723 376 discloses biofouling inhibition that includes: 1) coating the substrate before exposure in water with a composition that comprises from film-forming polymer (A) with non-reacted silica-containing functional groups ensuring latent reactivity; 2) applying onto this coating of a top layer that contains vulcanizing polymeric material (B) able to inhibit biofouling, namely vulcanizing polysiloxane or fluorocontaining polymer and 3) bonding of the top layer to the underlying coating film by means of condensation curing reaction in which participate non reacted functional groups of the top layer. This double layer inhibiting system has improved mechanical parameters but also does not prevent the settlement of macro foulers.
All known non-toxic siloxane protective coatings control the marine biofouling by creating of low adhesive surfaces that make difficult its adherence, ensure a self cleaning at moving sped higher than 14 knots and an easy detachment of the biofoulers with a water jet, a brush, or trough a wiping during dry docking. Common disadvantage of these fouling release coatings is that they do not prevent the macro- and micro-fouling and do not self clean at static underwater constructions as well as at slowly moving vessels (a speed lower than 14 knots) and/or at a long docking in the harbors.
