ANTIFOULING PAINT [16 records]

Subject field(s)

CONT

A soluble matrix antifouling paint contains rosin as the main part of its paint binder, and the antifoulant is blended with the same, in order to prevent settlement of fouling aquatic organisms.

CONT

The main groups of marine paints with active compounds released at the surface are 1) the selfpolishing coatings (SPC-paints) ... 2) soluble matrix paints in which the biocide is dispersed in a water soluble binder and when the binder dissolves, the biocide is released.

DEF

Paints consisting of copolymers designed to be smoothed via erosion of their surface as the vessel moves through the water, continually exposing smooth, fresh paint.

CONT

Self-polishing copolymer (SPC) antifoulings release biocides via a hydrolysis reaction of an acrylic polymer with seawater. This is a chemical reaction and only occurs at the surface of the coating. SPC technology combines controlled polishing rate and optimum biocide release with inherent self-smoothing for hull roughness control and maximum fuel efficiency.

OBS

"Controlled solubility copolymers" or "self-polishing copolymers (SPC)" are modern coatings in which, initially for TBT [tributyltin] paints, the biocide was chemically part of the paint matrix or resin, for example the copolymer tributylin methacrylate. When immersed, hydrolysis caused the copolymer to cleave, or hydrolyse, splitting the copolymer into a TBT (the biocide) and an acrylate (the resin) component. The TBT then released and acted as a biocide, the acrylate dissolved to ablate the paint. TBT-free SPCs have now been developed which use copper, zinc or silyl acrylate copolymers.

Système à copolymères autopolissants. L'eau de mer hydrolyse le liant à copolymères, libérant lentement, à un taux contrôlé, le biocide du tributylétain et la résine à copolymères.

Erodible/ablative paints consist of two components: the paint matrix and the biocide. Seawater movement against ships' hull polishes off the matrix and the biocide leaches out. The leaching rate will not be constant, because the biocide is not even homogeneously dispersed in the paint matrix. Secondly, the solubility of paint matrix and of incorporated biocides may not be identical.

A careful balance is needed between the amount of rosin required to provide sufficient biocide release and the quantity of the other film-forming components used to make the coating tough and durable. As the rosin content increases the binder system becomes softer and more soluble in seawater whereas a low rosin content makes the binder system virtually insoluble and hard. Antifoulings which are softer and more soluble are known as “controlled depletion polymer” (CDP) or soluble matrix antifoulings, whereas the hard types are known as insoluble matrix or “contact leaching” antifoulings.

Contact leaching paint, also known as hard-racing or long-life paints, are also free-association types but have an insoluble matrix. Continuous biocide release is generated by the high biocide concentration ensuring that biocide particles contact each other through the paint film. As surface biocide is released, microchannels are created which permit release of biocide from deeper in the coating. Biocide release rates decrease exponentially with time and effective life is again limited to periods rarely exceeding 18 months.

CONT

The products with a low level of rosin are hard and are referred to as contact leaching antifoulings. They are mechanically tough, have no polishing characteristics and commonly have a maximum in-service lifetime of 24 months (depending on in-service conditions and specification applied).

An antifouling with both SPC [self-polishing copolymer] and CDP [controlled depletion polymer] features.

OBS

Hybrid SPC/CDP systems: This relatively new antifouling type is a blend of a hydrolysable TBT[tributyltin] -free SPC technology (copper acrylate SPC) with the rosin-based CDP technology. By carefully combining these two technologies to form a "hybrid", it is possible to produce an antifouling which has the CDP features of surface tolerance and attractive volume solids, together with the SPC benefits of polishing rate control, control of biocide release and reduced leached layer size.
