Abstract
Abstract A paint composition is disclosed which comprises: (a) a highly flexible polymer such as an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer; (b) a compound having a plurality of aliphatic double bonds such as a polyterpene; (c) a plasticizer-tackifier such as a phthalate wherein (a), (b) and (c) comprises the binder; and (d) a liquid carrier such as an organic solvent for the binder; and (e) a pigment such as titanium dioxide, dispersible in the carrier. This composition when applied to asphalt or concrete surfaces dries under ambient conditions to set without the application of heat, and the dried paint composition exhibits a high degree of wear resistance under outdoor abrasive and erosive exposure.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 21
Claim 1
Independent Claim
97 words
A wear-resistant paint composition useful on an asphalt, cement or stone surface, which composition comprises: (a) a polymer; (b) a compound having a plurality of aliphatic double bonds; (c) a plasticizer; (d) a liquid carrier for said (a), (b) and (c); said liquid being vaporizable in air at a temperature in excess of about 0° C.; and (e) a pigment which is dispersible in said liquid and wherein said paint composition when air dried to a 0.10 inch strip, said strip exhibits a flexibility from about 45° to 180° in bending, which does not require heat cure.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
97 words
A wear-resistant paint composition useful on an asphalt, cement or stone surface, which composition comprises: (a) a polymer; (b) a compound having a plurality of aliphatic double bonds; (c) a plasticizer; (d) a liquid carrier for said (a), (b) and (c); said liquid being vaporizable in air at a temperature in excess of about 0° C.; and (e) a pigment which is dispersible in said liquid and wherein said paint composition when air dried to a 0.10 inch strip, said strip exhibits a flexibility from about 45° to 180° in bending, which does not require heat cure.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
The paint composition of claim 1, said (a), (b) and (c) comprising the binder and said flexible polymer being present in an amount of from about 33% to 90% by weight of said binder.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
The composition of claim 1, said (a), (b) and (c) comprising the binder, and said flexible polymer being present in an amount of 50% to 90% by weight of said binder.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
13 words
The composition of claim 2, said flexible polymer being an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
20 words
The composition of claim 4, said ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer having from about 15% to 40% by weight of vinyl acetate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
20 words
The composition of claim 1, said compound (b) being one selected from the group polyketones, polyterpenes, tall oils and polyesters.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
18 words

Claim 10
Dependent Claim
99 words
A paint composition comprising: a binder comprising; (a) 33% to 75% by weight of said binder, a polymer; (b) 10% to 50% by weight of said binder, a compound having a plurality of aliphatic double bonds; and (c) 1 to 15% by weight of said binder, a plasticizer; and an air-drying liquid-carrier for said binder; and a pigment dispersible in said liquid, whereby said composition upon drying forms a paint, so that when air dried to a 0.10 inch strip, said strip exhibits a flexibility from about 45° to 180° in bending, which does not require a heat cure.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
59 words
