Abstract
In accordance with this invention, a chemically convertible polymeric coating composition is applied to the surface of a glass substrate and subsequently converted to a crosslinked coating by the application of heat or another form of energy. The polymeric coating composition contains at least two essential ingredients: (1) a rubbery thermoplastic organic polymer; and (2) an organic peroxide or hydroperoxide.
Claims5
A process for forming a protective film on the surface of a glass container which comprises;
- applying a polymeric crosslinkable coating composition to the glass substrate container, the coating composition consisting of 90 to 99.99% by weight of a rubbery thermoplastic organic polymer and 10 to 0.01% by weight of a peroxidic organic compound, said polymer being an elastomeric organic polymer having an ultimate elongation of at least 100% and being crosslinkable, and said peroxidic organic compound possessing at least one oxygen-oxygen bond,
- and energizing the polymeric composition in situ on the container surface so as to crosslink the composition and form a protective polymeric film having a thickness of at least 0.002 inch.
