Description

Composition for promoting attachment and growth of marine organisms to be applied to marine artificial structure containing fatty acids}

The present invention relates to compositions, methods, and coatings that effectively promote the growth of marine organisms in marine structures.

Marine structures are artificially installed in the ocean, and one of them, the artificial reefs, is installed in the soft seas and fosters seaweeds necessary for spawning fish, crustaceans, shellfish, etc., protecting, nurturing, and multiplying hatching and fry. Provide a suitable environment for the growth of fish and shellfish.

The materials of artificial reefs currently used mainly are cement, iron, ceramics, fibers, waste fibers, synthetic resins (polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, etc.), waste tires, and the like.

Cement marine structures were initially difficult to marine marine organisms because they released harmful substances that interfered with marine organisms. On the other hand, in the case of the structure made of synthetic resin, the surface tension of the surface is low, the marine organisms have a problem that the living organism spores slip easily due to the seawater flow when it is difficult to grow.

An object of one embodiment of the present invention is to solve the above problems.

An object of one embodiment of the present invention is to allow marine organisms to easily attach to and grow well in marine structures including artificial reefs.

It is an object of one embodiment of the present invention to provide a coating that is formed on the surface of an oceanic structure to promote marine life.

In order to achieve the above object, the marine organism growth promoter composition for applying marine structures according to an embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that it contains a fatty acid as an active ingredient.

In addition, the surface coating method of the marine structure according to an embodiment of the present invention, (a) mixing the binder 2 to 45% by weight and the solvent 10 to 50% by weight;

(b) adding 1 to 45% by weight of fatty acids to the mixture obtained in step (a) and mixing the mixture;

(c) applying the mixture of step (b) to an offshore structure; And

(d) drying the composition applied in step (c) to form a film.

In addition, the surface coating film of the marine structure according to an embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that it comprises a fatty acid.

The present invention is effective to increase the fishery resources by effectively promoting the attachment and growth of marine organisms to marine structures including artificial reefs that are habitats of marine organisms.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail, but it is only for illustrating the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

As used herein, "engraftment" means that benthic organisms adhere to and grow on artificial objects.

As used herein, the term "ocean structure" means a structure that is artificially added to the ocean, and includes an artificial reef, a sofa, and the like. This includes all structures consisting of cement, steel, ceramics, fibers, waste fibers, synthetic resins, waste tires, and wastes.

As used herein, "artificial reef" is one of marine structures artificially manufactured and introduced into the ocean, and refers to a structure that provides a habitat for organisms inhabiting the ocean, such as seaweed or shellfish. This includes all structures consisting of cement, steel, ceramics, fibers, waste fibers, synthetic resins, waste tires, and wastes.

Marine life growth promoter composition for applying marine structures according to an embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that it contains a fatty acid as an active ingredient. The fatty acid includes both saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids. For example, all saturated fatty acids such as butanoic acid, hexanoic acid, octanoic acid, decanoic acid, dodecanoic acid, tetradecanoic acid, hexadecanoic acid, octadecanoic acid, eicosanoic acid and docosanoic acid, It also includes unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid, linolenic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and arachidonic acid. Especially, it is preferable that they are 1 type or 2 types of fatty acids selected from pentadecanoic acid and n-tetradecanoic acid.

In the above composition, the fatty acid is preferably contained in an amount of 1 to 45% by weight of the total composition. If the fatty acid is less than 1% by weight, the cultivation ability of marine organisms is insufficient. If the fatty acid is more than 45% by weight, the mixing properties and long-term storage of other components are lowered. In this respect, the fatty acid is more preferably included in an amount of 5 to 30% by weight.

It is preferable that the said composition further contains a binder and a solvent other than the fatty acid which is the said active ingredient.

Synthetic resin or natural resin may be used as the binder. Specifically, it may be one kind or two or more kinds selected from vinyl resins, urethane resins, chlorinated rubber resins, phthalic acid resins, alkyd resins, epoxy resins, phenol resins, melanin resins, acrylic resins, fluorine resins, silicone resins, and rosin. The binder is preferably included in an amount of 2 to 45% by weight of the total composition. If the content of the binder is less than 2% by weight, the adhesion of the paint is lowered. If the content of the binder is more than 45% by weight, the compatibility with other compositions is lowered, and the viscosity of the composition is too high, making it difficult to apply to marine structures. In this respect, the content of the binder is preferably 5 to 30% by weight.

As the solvent, any organic solvent may be used. For example, an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent such as xylene, a ketone solvent such as methyl ethyl ketone or methyl isobutyl ketone, or a cellulsolve solvent such as cellulsolve acetate may be used. The solvent is preferably included in an amount of 10 to 50% by weight of the total composition. If the solvent is less than 10% by weight, the viscosity is too high, the coating operation is difficult, and if it exceeds 50% by weight, the content of the active ingredient or the binder is lowered, and the viability of marine organisms is lowered.

In addition, the method for applying the surface of the marine structure according to an embodiment of the present invention,

(a) mixing 2 to 45% by weight of the binder and 10 to 50% by weight of the solvent;

(b) adding 1 to 45% by weight of fatty acids to the mixture obtained in step (a) and mixing the mixture;

(c) applying the mixture of step (b) to an offshore structure; And

(d) drying the composition applied in step (c) to form a film.

In the surface coating method described above, step (a) is preferably, but not limited to, mixing the binder and the solvent until the binder is dissolved in the solvent through a stirrer or the like. The binder of step (a) is one or two selected from vinyl resin, urethane resin, rubber chloride resin, phthalic acid resin, alkyd resin, epoxy resin, phenol resin, melanin resin, acrylic resin, fluorine resin, silicone resin and rosin It may be abnormal. In addition, the solvent of step (a) may be one or two or more selected from aromatic hydrocarbon solvents such as xylene, ketone solvents such as methyl ethyl ketone and methyl isobutyl ketone, and cellulsolve solvents such as cellulsolve acetate.

In the step (b), the fatty acid is preferably added to the mixture obtained in the step (a) and then mixed using a stirrer or the like, but is not limited thereto.

Step (c) may be applied with a brush or sprayed with air pressure, but is not limited thereto.

Step (d) may be exposed to dry in air. Alternatively, the curing operation may be repeated to increase the surface adhesion to the fish and further promote the curing of the surface layer, but is not limited thereto.

The film of step (d) may have a weight of 0.05 g / ㎠ to 0.50 g / ㎠. When the weight of the film is less than 0.05 g / cm 2, the ability to grow is insignificant, and when the weight of the film is more than 0.50 g / cm 2, it is uneconomical.

Surface coating of the marine structure according to an embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that it comprises a fatty acid.

Preferably, the surface coating film has a weight of 0.05 g / cm 2 to 0.50 g / cm 2. When the weight of the film is less than 0.05 g / cm 2, the ability to grow is insignificant, and when the weight of the film is more than 0.50 g / cm 2, it is uneconomical.

The coating further comprises a binder, the weight ratio of fatty acid: binder is preferably 1 to 45: 2 to 45. When the fatty acid is too high and the binder is too small to be out of the above range, it is difficult to keep the film stable on the surface of the marine structure. If the fatty acid is too small and there are many binders out of the above range, the marine engraftment ability is poor. From this point of view, the weight ratio is more preferably 5-30: 5-30. The binder may be one or two or more selected from vinyl resins, urethane resins, rubber chloride resins, phthalic acid resins, alkyd resins, epoxy resins, phenol resins, melanin resins, acrylic resins, fluorine resins, silicone resins, and rosin.

In the surface coating film, the marine structure may be an artificial reef.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
