Abstract

Abstract There is provided an aqueous dispersion type vibration-damping coating composition containing, as essential components thereof, (a) a polyvinyl acetate emulsion, (b) a polyethylene in finely divided particulate or emulsion state and (c) a flaky inorganic powder. When this composition is applied to the surface of a structural member which could be source of noise or vibrations, the coating composition displays a high vibration-damping effect over a broad temperature range from low to high temperatures and is excellent in resistance to water, heat and weathering.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 60 words
A method of damping the vibration of a structural member comprising (1) coating a surface of said structural member with a layer of an aqueous dispersion comprising, as essential components thereof, (a) a polyvinyl acetate emulsion, (b) an ethylene polymer in finely divided particulate or emulsion state, and (c) a flaky inorganic filler, and (2) then drying the coated layer.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 60 words
A method of damping the vibration of a structural member comprising (1) coating a surface of said structural member with a layer of an aqueous dispersion comprising, as essential components thereof, (a) a polyvinyl acetate emulsion, (b) an ethylene polymer in finely divided particulate or emulsion state, and (c) a flaky inorganic filler, and (2) then drying the coated layer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 21 words
The method of damping the vibration of a structural member as claimed in claim 1, wherein said ethylene polymer is polyethylene.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 23 words
The method of damping the vibration of a structural member as claimed in claim 1, wherein said flaky inorganic powder is mica powder.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 25 words
The method of damping the vibration of a structural member as claimed in claim 1, wherein said aqueous dispersion further comprises (d) a cross-linking agent.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 23 words
The method of damping the vibration of a structural member as claimed in claim 4, wherein said cross-linking agent is a zirconium compound.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 77 words
The method of damping the vibration of a structural member as claimed in claim 4, wherein said cross-linking agent is selected from the group consisting of ammonium zirconylcarbonate, zirconium chloride, zirconium nitrate, zirconium lactate, sodium zirconium oxalate; boric acid, borax, titanyl sulfate, α-titanic acid, potassium titanium oxalate, titanium triethanolamine; formaldehyde, glyoxal; methylolmelamine; divinyl sulfone, bis(β-hydroxyethyl)sulfone, disodium tris(β-sulfoethyl)sulfonium; epichlorohydrin, polyamide-polyamine-epichlorohydrin resins, glycidyl compounds of water-soluble polyhydric alcohols, dicarboxylic acid chlorides, acid anhydrides; disulfite compounds; and di- and tri-isocyanates.
