Claims35
A water-based paint composition, comprising:
- (a) an opacifying agent;
- (b) a polymeric binding agent;
- and
- (c) a debonding agent active on metal surfaces.
A water-based paint composition, comprising:
- (a) an opacifying agent comprising titanium dioxide;
- (b) a viscosity enhancing agent comprising hydroxyethylcellulose;
- (c) a surfactant comprising a salt derived from morpholine and a long-chain carboxylic acid;
- (d) a polymeric binding agent comprising an acrylic-based latex;
- and
- (e) a debonding agent active on metal surfaces comprising soybean oil.
A method for labeling an oriented strandboard panel bundle, comprising:
- (a) placing a stencil against a side of an oriented strandboard panel bundle, wherein the bundle comprises a stack of oriented strandboard panels, and each panel having an exposed edge;
- (b) applying a paint composition to the exposed edges of the oriented strandboard panels by spraying the composition through the stencil;
- wherein the composition comprises a water-based paint composition, comprising:
- (i) an opacifying agent;
- (ii) a polymeric binding agent;
- and
- (iii) a debonding agent active on metal surfaces;
- and
- (c) removing the stencil from the unit.
A method for making a labeling paint composition, comprising blending an aqueous suspension comprising an opacifying agent and a polymeric binding having a glass transition temperature greater than about 25° C. with an emulsion comprising a debonding agent active on metal surfaces to provide a labeling paint.
