Abstract
A paint system having a base coating composition and a top coating composition, each having a low VOC value preferably below 50 g/l, is disclosed. The base coating composition includes a release material and the top coating composition includes a pigment and a paint emulsion. The base coat formulation is applied to a surface to form a base coating and the top coat layer is applied over the top coating. When dry, the top coating has high cohesion relative to the adhesion of top coating to base coating, thereby permitting the top coating to be manually peeled away from the surface. Related methods are also disclosed.
Claims19
A paint system comprising:
- a base coating composition and a top coating composition, said base coating composition comprising a release material, said base coating composition having a VOC value less than 50 g/L, said top coating composition comprising a pigment and an emulsion paint base, said top coating composition having a VOC less than 50 g/L;
- said base coating composition dying to form a base coating;
- said top coating composition, when applied over said base coating, drying to produce a top coating having sufficient cohesion relative to the adhesion of said top coating over said base coating to allow manual peeling of said top coating from said base coating.
A method comprising:
- providing a paint system, said paint system comprising:
- a base coating composition and a top coating composition, said base coating composition comprising a release material, said base coating composition having a VOC value less than 50 g/L, said top coating composition comprising a pigment and an emulsion paint base, said top coating composition having a VOC less than 50 g/L;
- said base coating composition dying to form a base coating;
- said top coating composition, when applied over said base coating, drying to produce a top coating having sufficient cohesion relative to the adhesion of said top coating over said base coating to allow manual peeling of said top coating from said base coating;
- applying said base coating composition to a wall surface;
- allowing said base coating composition to dry to form a base coating;
- applying said top coating composition over said base coating.
A method comprising:
- approaching a wall surface coated with a base coating and a top coating, the base coating having been dried from a base coating composition comprising a release material, and having a VOC value less than 50 g/L;
- said top coat having been dried from a top coating composition comprising a pigment and an emulsion paint base and a VOC less than 50 g/L, said top coating having sufficient cohesion relative to the adhesion of said top coating over said base coating to allow manual peeling of said top coating from said base coating;
- and
- manually peeling said top coating from said wall surface.
A method comprising:
- approaching a wall surface coated with a base coating and a top coating, the base coating having been dried from a base coating composition comprising a release material, and having a VOC value less than 50 g/L;
- said top coat having been dried from a top coating composition comprising a pigment and an emulsion paint base and a VOC less than 50 g/L, said top coating having sufficient cohesion relative to the adhesion of said top coating over said base coating to allow manual peeling of said top coating from said base coating;
- and
- applying an overlaying third coating composition over said top coating.
A painted surface comprising:
- a wall surface;
- a base coating disposed over the wall surface;
- and
- a top coating disposed over the base coating;
- the base coating having been dried from a base coating composition comprising a release material, and having a VOC value less than 50 g/L;
- said top coat having been dried from a top coating composition comprising a pigment and an emulsion paint base and a VOC less than 50 g/L, said top coating having sufficient cohesion relative to the adhesion of said top coating over said base coating to allow manual peeling of said top coating from said base coating
