Abstract
Abstract Staining and discoloration of painted wood surfaces, as a result of bleeding into the top or finish coat of soluble coloring matter and tannins naturally present in the wood, is prevented by coating or impregnating the wood with a basic aluminum compound, particularly with a water soluble basic aluminum halide or derivative thereof. The basic aluminum compound may be applied in aqueous solution or non-pigmented emulsion for prefinishing building lumber, or applied in the form of a pigmented emulsion as a primer coat. The present invention relates to novel methods and compositions for application to the surfaces of woods, particularly to stain-susceptible woods, to prevent their staining or discoloring as a result of tannin and tocopherol or other waste-soluble coloring matter present in the raw wood, bleeding or migrating into a subsequently applied preservative or decorative paint film.

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
109 words
Aqueous latex emulsion suitable for application to an unpainted wood surface to prevent bleeding of water soluble tannins and soluble natural coloring matters of the wood into a subsequently applied top paint film, said emulsion containing a tannin blocking agent in an effective amount to prevent staining of a subsequently applied water-base paint, but insufficient to substantially interfere with adhesion between said water-base paint and the treated surface, said tannin blocking agent comprising a water soluble basic aluminum compound selected from the group consisting of basic aluminum halide, complexes of basic aluminum halides, basic aluminum nitrate, basic aluminum formate, basic aluminum phenolsulfonate and basic aluminum chloride-basic aluminum sulfate couple.
