Abstract
There is disclosed an emulsion coating composition having water dispersed in an organic solvent soluble resin and solvent through the use of an emulsifier having a hydrophile-lipophile balance of from two to about six. The composition may be mixed with a hydrocarbon propellant miscible in the continuous phase in suitable containers to produce a non-foaming water containing aerosol spray paint or varnish.
Claims13
An improved water-in-oil emulsion coating composition comprising:
- (a) a continuous phase, said continuous phase including an organic solvent, said solvent being of aliphatic or aromatic or combined aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon composition;
- (b) a dispersed phase, said dispersed phase including water;
- (c) a film-forming resin dissolvable in said solvent, said continuous phase further including an effective amount of said resin for forming a film on a workpiece;
- and, (d) an emulsifier, said coating composition including an effective amount of said emulsifier for maintaining stable dispersion of said dispersed phase throughout said continuous phase, said emulsifier having an HLB value of from 2 to about 6, whereupon said coating composition has as much as 80 percent water on a weight basis, said water thereby extending said solvent as to said coating composition, said water being substituted for said solvent throughout said coating composition.
An improved water-in-oil emulsion coating composition comprising:
- (a) a continuous phase, said continuous phase including an organic solvent, said solvent being of aliphatic or aromatic or combined aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon composition;
- (b) a dispersed phase, said dispersed phase including water;
- (c) a film-forming resin dissolvable in said solvent, said continuous phase further including an effective amount of said resin for forming a film on a workpiece;
- and, (d) an emulsifier system, said coating composition including an effective amount of said emulsifier system for maintaining stable dispersion of said dispersed phase throughout said continuous phase, said emulsifier system including at least two emulsifying components, a first emulsifying component having an HLB value of from 1/2 to 5, a second emulsifying component having an HLB value of from 5 to 12, an HLB value for said emulsifier system being a weighted average of said respective HLB values of said first and said second emulsifying components, said emulsifier system having an HLB value of from 2 to about 6, whereupon said coating composition has as much as 80 percent water on a weight basis, said water thereby extending said solvent as to said coating composition, said water being substituted for said solvent throughout said coating composition.
A method of manufacturing an improved water-in-oil emulsion coating composition, said coating composition having a continuous phase and a dispersed phase, said continuous phase including an organic solvent, said dispersed phase including water, said coating composition including an effective amount of an emulsifier for maintaining stable dispersion of said dispersed phase throughout said continuous phase, said method comprising:
- (a) adding to said solvent an effective amount of a film-forming resin thereby producing a mixture, said resin being soluble in said solvent, said solvent being of aliphatic or aromatic or combined aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon composition;
- and, (b) adding to said mixture a first effective amount of said emulsifier and to said dispersed phase a second effective amount of said emulsifier for maintaining stable dispersion of said dispersed phase throughout said continuous phase and thereafter mixing said dispersed phase and said mixture thereby producing said water-in-oil emulsion capable of forming a film on a workpiece, said emulsifier having an HLB value of from 2 to about 6, whereupon said coating composition has as much as 80 percent water on a weight basis, said water thereby extending said solvent as to said coating composition, said water being substituted for said solvent throughout said coating composition.
