Claim 1
Independent Claim
182 words
A pigmented coating solution adapted to deposit an organic coating possessing improved resistance to ultraviolet radiation-induced auto-oxidation comprising, organic solvent including aromatic hydrocarbon solvent, said solvent having dissolved therein an aromatic hydrocarbon-soluble, normally liquid, polysulfide or polydisulfide derivative in which the terminal --SH groups have been reacted with a monofunctional reactant providing a C 1 -C 22 alkyl terminal group to provide a polysulfide or polydisulfide derivative which is essentially nonreactive, said solvent also having dissolved therein a polar polymeric binder which degrades by a photo-oxidative mechanism and which has limited compatibility with said derivative, said derivative being present in an amount of 0.5% to 5%, based on total solids, and said solvent having suspended therein a pigment which is ultraviolet absorptive and which is present in a pigment to binder weight ratio of at least about 0.1, said pigment protecting the bulk of a deposited coating, and said limited compatibility causing a heated film of said coating solution to stratify as the solvent evaporates to concentrate said polysulfide or polydisulfide at the surface of the cured coating to protect the same.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Dependent Claim
