Abstract
Abstract Paint compositions suitable for forming decals which can be applied to vehicle tire sidewalls. The compositions comprise a saturated elastomer having a glass transition temperature not higher than -40 degrees C., a pigment which is preferably titanium dioxide in an amount in the range of 0.5 to 10 times the weight of elastomer, and a solvent. Compositions of this invention are resistant to ultraviolet light and ozone, maintain color and integrity during outdoor aging, and have a long fatigue life.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
68 words
A paint composition having high resistance to ultraviolet light and ozone and suitable for generating appliques for adherence to tire sidewalls, said composition comprising: (a) a saturated elastomer having a glass transition temperature not higher than about -40 degrees C.; (b) a pigment, the amount of said pigment being in the range of about 0.5 to about 10 times the weight of said elastomer; and (c) a solvent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
68 words
A paint composition having high resistance to ultraviolet light and ozone and suitable for generating appliques for adherence to tire sidewalls, said composition comprising: (a) a saturated elastomer having a glass transition temperature not higher than about -40 degrees C.; (b) a pigment, the amount of said pigment being in the range of about 0.5 to about 10 times the weight of said elastomer; and (c) a solvent.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
A composition according to claim 1 wherein said pigment is a white pigment.
