Abstract
Prepolymerized resins are applied to wooden articles to coat them and impart a tough and abrasive resistant surface which protects the articles from deterioration and delamination due to shock, impact and abrasive forces. The resins are applied by contacting the articles with a prepolymerized resin which has been dissolved in a readily vaporizable solvent to form a resin solution, coating the article with the resin solution, vaporizing the solvent from the resin coating and drying the resin coating. The coated articles find particular utility in high shock and impact uses such as hockey stick blades.
Claims17
A method of applying a protective phenoxy or polyamide resin coating to a wooden article consisting essentially of contacting said article for about 1 to 90 seconds with a coating solution consisting essentially of a prepolymerized phenoxy resin of the formula ##STR2## wherein n=150 to 700 and having a molecular weight between 45,000 to 200,000 or prepolymerized polyamide resin having a molecular weight of 5,000 to 10,000 or mixtures thereof dissolved in a readily vaporizable solvent, coating the article with the resin solvent solution, withdrawing the article from the resin solvent solution, drying said coated article in about 5 to 30 minutes by vaporizing the solvent from the resin coating on said article to obtain a 0.1 to 0.5 mm thick resin coating that is nonsticky to the touch.
The method of claim 6 wherein the resin coating on the wooden article is dried for 5 to 30 minutes at a temperature of 15.degree. to 30.degree. C.
