Definitions

  • the present invention is related to polymeric compounds useful as a combined corrosion or hydrolysis inhibitor and surface modifier for metallic flake pigment.
  • the invention also pertains to coating compositions containing the treated metallic pigments.
  • Automotive coatings can utilize a single, uniformly pigmented layer.
  • basecoat highly pigmented layer
  • clearcoat subsequently applied coating layer with little or no pigmentation
  • the two-layer coating is known in the industry as "basecoat/clearcoat”.
  • Basecoat/clearcoat coatings impart a high level of gloss and depth of color that can result in a particularly appealing look.
  • Metallic flake pigments typically are incorporated into the basecoat composition.
  • Waterborne automotive paints are gaining widespread usage in the automotive industry due to concerns over organic solvent emissions during coating application and curing processes.
  • waterborne paints have the disadvantage of using a medium that can be corrosive to metallic flake pigments.
  • hydrolysis of the metal pigments can occur in waterborne paints.
  • the pH of typical waterborne acrylic coating compositions can range from 8.0 to 9.0, and typical polyurethane coating compositions can have a pH typically ranging from 7.5 to 8.0.
  • the aluminum pigment can be oxidized. The oxidation is a form of corrosion that destroys the metallic pigmentation properties of the mirror-like particles. When a paint with oxidized metallic flake pigments is coated onto a substrate, the coating shows discoloration and diminished metallic effect.
  • the hydrolysis or oxidation of the metallic surfaces in waterborne paints results in the evolution of hydrogen gas.
  • the amount of hydrogen gas evolved is indicative of the amount of oxidation (i.e., corrosion) of the metallic pigment.
  • the hydrogen gas can accumulate under pressure if the coating composition is stored in a closed container.
  • Coating compositions containing metal flake pigment are often stored for 6 months or more before application, which can result in significant corrosion of the pigment. If this corrosion remains unchecked the coating composition can be rendered unusable.
  • passivate metal pigment surfaces to prevent corrosion of the metal surface by water in waterborne coating compositions.
  • chrome can be toxic and, therefore, special handling and disposal procedures are required for such chrome coated metallic pigment particles.
