The invention belongs to the technical field of antifouling paint preparation, and relates to an antifouling material with a directionally arranged
acicular filler and a preparation method thereof. The antifouling material is prepared from a self-
polishing resin,
rosin, a main antifouling compound, an auxiliary antifouling compound, a
pigment, an
acicular filler, a surfactant, an aid and a
solvent. The preparation method comprises the following steps: sequentially adding the self-
polishing resin,
rosin, main antifouling compound, auxiliary antifouling compound,
pigment, surfactant and
solvent into a container according to the set parts by
mass, carrying out ball milling or high-speed stirring, sequentially adding the aid and
acicular filler according to the set parts by
mass, stirring to obtain an antifouling paint,
coating the antifouling paint onto a matrix surface, and curing the antifouling paint in a uniform
magnetic field to form a film so that the acicular filler is directionally arranged along the
magnetic field direction, thereby obtaining the antifouling material with the directionally arranged acicular filler. The antifouling compound
coating and
microstructure antifouling are combined to reduce the consumption of the antifouling compounds, and the antifouling material has favorable static antifouling property. The preparation method is simple and easy to implement; and the product has the advantages of energy saving, environment friendliness and long antifouling period, and is suitable for large-area application.
