Abstract
An improved, water based, undercoating composition, primarily designed for undercoating of vehicles to prevent corrosion. It is a butadiene-styrene based polymer latex composition which contains from about 5% to about 20% by weight of mica as a filler and flattener which provides an effective moisture barrier and also functions to prevent premature gelling of the composition in combination with a sufficient amount of ammonium hydroxide to provide a composition pH within the range of 7.5 to 10.0 and, in addition, to provide enhancement of anti-foaming properties of the composition. The balance comprises small but effective amounts of minors such as a wetting agent, a defoaming agent, a dispersing agent, pigment, viscosity modifiers, and water. Also, disclosed is a solvent based, stryene butadiene coating.
Claims8
An aqueous emulsion butadiene styrene latex composition consisting essentially of from about 40% to about 65% weight butadiene styrene, from about 5% to about 20% by weight of mica platelets as filler and flattening agent which effectively prevents vapor transmission and also as an anti-gelling agent for said composition and a sufficient amount of ammonium hydroxide to enhance anti-foaming properties of said composition and to provide a pH within the range of about 7.5 to 10.0 from about 0.02% to about 0.2% by weight of a bacteriostatic agent, from about 0.1% to about 1% by weight of a wetting agent, from about 0.05% to about 1% by weight of a defoaming agent, from about 0.5% to about 2% by weight of a viscosity control agent, and from about 1% to about 5% by weight of pigment, the balance of said composition comprising water.
An improved method of undercoating vehicles for rustproofing comprising,
- applying to the undersurface of the metal of the vehicle's body a composition consisting essentially of an aqueous emulsion butadiene styrene latex composition which is from about 40% to about 65% by weight butadiene styrene, from about 5% to about 20% by weight of mica platelets as a filler and flattening agent which effectively prevents vapor transmission and also act as an anti-gelling agent for said composition, and a sufficient amount of ammonium hydroxide to enhance anti-foaming properties of said composition and provide a pH within the range of about 8.5 to 9.0, from about 0.02% to about 0.2% by weight of a bacteriostatic agent, from about 0.1% to about 1% by weight of a wetting agent, from about 0.05% to about 1% by weight of a defoaming agent, from about 0.5% to about 2% by weight of a viscosity control agent, and from about 1% to about 5% by weight of pigment, the balance of said composition comprising water.
A solvent base undercoating system primarily for use on rustproofing of vehicles, said system consisting essentially of from about 5% to about 40% by weight of butadiene styrene polymer, from about 30% to about 50% solvent for said polymer, from 0% to 3% of a viscosity modifier for said solution, from 0% to 20% of a hydrocarbon resin, from 5% to 15% of mica platelets as a filler and flattening agent, and from 1% to 5% of pigment for said composition, the total solids concentration of said system being within the range of from 40% to 50% by weight.
