Abstract
Abstract Coated nails and other driven fasteners designed to increase the force requied to withdraw the nail, screw, tack, staple, or other fastener from wood or similar materials, are disclosed. The coating for the metal fasteners is an emulsion or rosin or a rosin-like resin in an ethylene co- or terpolymer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
A coating composition particularly useful for coating on nails comprising an emulsified mixture of: a. from about 50 to about 80 percent by weight of resin solids of rosin or a rosin-like resin which melts at a temperature of from about 60°C to about 150°C, dissolved in an organic solvent; and b. from about 20 to about 50% by weight of resin solids of an ethylene copolymer or terpolymer comprising from about 60 to about 90 percent by weight ethylene and from about 10 to about 40 percent by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or an ester thereof free of groups which are reactive of said rosin or rosin-like resin, said ethylene copolymer or terpolymer dissolved in a hot volatile aqueous alkali solution.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
125 words
A coating composition particularly useful for coating on nails comprising an emulsified mixture of: a. from about 50 to about 80 percent by weight of resin solids of rosin or a rosin-like resin which melts at a temperature of from about 60°C to about 150°C, dissolved in an organic solvent; and b. from about 20 to about 50% by weight of resin solids of an ethylene copolymer or terpolymer comprising from about 60 to about 90 percent by weight ethylene and from about 10 to about 40 percent by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or an ester thereof free of groups which are reactive of said rosin or rosin-like resin, said ethylene copolymer or terpolymer dissolved in a hot volatile aqueous alkali solution.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
