Claims27
A flexible coating composition comprising ultra-fine ceramic particles, a binder that forms a colloidal suspension with said ultra-fine ceramic particles, a film-forming polymer, and an aversive agent, wherein the ultra-fine ceramic particles are selected from the group consisting of diamond, cubic boron nitride, boron carbide, silicon carbide, corundum, tantalum carbide, tungsten carbide, niobium carbide, titanium carbide, zirconium carbide, porcelain, agate, zirconium oxide, tin oxide, aluminum oxide, cerium oxide, thorium oxide, and combinations thereof.
A method of forming a flexible coating composition comprising ultra-fine ceramic particles, a binder and a polymer, said process comprising the steps of:
- forming a colloidal suspension of ultra-fine ceramic particles with a binder that forms a colloidal suspension with said ultra-fine ceramic particles;
- and
- adding the colloidal suspension to a film-forming polymer to form the flexible coating composition.
