Abstract
Abstract Coating compositions, useful for marking trafficable surfaces such as roads, are disclosed and claimed which comprise a polymer-monomer mixture and a catalyst system. The relative amounts of the components are chosen so as to provide compositions which have, surprisingly, a desirable balance of stability and fast cure.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 21
Claim 1
Independent Claim
162 words
A coating composition which comprises: (A) a polymer-monomer mixture comprising: (a) at least 25% by weight of a homopolymer or copolymer of one or more (C 1 -C 8 )-alkyl esters of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid; (b) at least 30% by weight of one or more ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable monomers comprising one or more (C 1 -C 8 )-alkyl esters of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid; (c) 1-40% by weight of at least one compound containing at least two ethylenically unsaturated groups per molecule; optionally, (d) 0.5-3% by weight of ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid; optionally, (e) 0.25-1% by weight of paraffin wax; and, (B) a catalyst system comprising: (a) 0.5-10% by weight, based on the weight of polymer-monomer mixture (A), of organic peroxide as catalyst; (b) 0.1-10% by weight, based on the weight of the polymer-monomer mixture (A), of tertiary amine as accelerator; the relative amounts of the components being chosen so as to give a fast-curing composition, as hereinbefore defined.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
162 words
A coating composition which comprises: (A) a polymer-monomer mixture comprising: (a) at least 25% by weight of a homopolymer or copolymer of one or more (C 1 -C 8 )-alkyl esters of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid; (b) at least 30% by weight of one or more ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable monomers comprising one or more (C 1 -C 8 )-alkyl esters of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid; (c) 1-40% by weight of at least one compound containing at least two ethylenically unsaturated groups per molecule; optionally, (d) 0.5-3% by weight of ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid; optionally, (e) 0.25-1% by weight of paraffin wax; and, (B) a catalyst system comprising: (a) 0.5-10% by weight, based on the weight of polymer-monomer mixture (A), of organic peroxide as catalyst; (b) 0.1-10% by weight, based on the weight of the polymer-monomer mixture (A), of tertiary amine as accelerator; the relative amounts of the components being chosen so as to give a fast-curing composition, as hereinbefore defined.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
A composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein component (A)(b) comprises from 40 to 60 weight percent of the polymer-monomer mixture.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
37 words
A composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein component (A)(c) comprises at least one compound containing a plurality of acrylate or methacrylate groups which retain their ethylenic unsaturation in the compound and are thereby capable of cross-linking.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
A composition as claimed in claim 3 wherein component (A)(c) comprises one or more of dimethylolpropane dimethacrylate, trimethylolpropanetriacrylate, trimethylolpropanetrimethacrylate, pentamethylolpropanepentamethacrylate pentaerythritol triacrylate and dipentaerythritolpentacrylate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
15 words
A composition as claimed in claim 3 which also contains at least one polymerisation inhibitor.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
39 words
A roadmarking composition which comprises the composition as claimed in claim 3 and one or more of the following adjuvants: pigment, filler, dispersant, reflectant, extender, aggregate, suspending agent, dispersing or wetting agent, matting agent, surface tack reducer, and antioxidant.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
56 words
A roadmarking composition as claimed in claim 6 in which the pigment is selected from titanium dioxide, lead chrome or an organic pigment, the reflectant is ballitoni, the extender is whiting or silica flour, the aggregate is selected from crushed marble, silica sand, calcined flint, cristobalite, and crushed quartz, and the surface tack reducer is wax.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
36 words
A composition as claimed in claim 1 which comprises a mixture of components (a), (b), (c) and, if present, (d) and/or (e) split into two portions, one portion containing the accelerator and the other the catalyst.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
38 words
A method of marking a trafficable surface comprising combining the two portions of the composition of claim 8, and substantially simultaneously applying the same to said surface as a traffic marking, and curing the coating on said surface.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
10 words
A trafficable surface marked by the method of claim 9.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
47 words
A composition as claimed in claim 1 which comprises three portions: a mixture of components (a), (b) and, if present, (d) and/or (e) split into two portions, one portion containing all the accelerator and the other all the cross-linking agent, and as the third portion the catalyst.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
38 words
A method of marking a trafficable surface comprising combining the two portions of the composition of claim 11, and substantially simultaneously applying the same to said surface as a traffic marking, and curing the coating on said surface.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
10 words
A trafficable surface marked by the method of claim 12.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
21 words
