Abstract
Abstract A variegated coat is produced by the steps of preparing a synthetic emulsion coating composition containing a body pigment and a color pigment in a combined concentration higher than critical pigment volume concentration as well as a high boiling organic solvent or plasticizer, applying said coating composition on a surface, and polishing locally the resulting film after drying but while at least a portion of said solvent or plasticizer is still present in the surface layer of the coat.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
115 words
A method of producing a variegated coat on a surface comprising the steps of coating the surface with a coat of a synthetic resin emulsion coating composition containing a body pigment and a color pigment in a combined concentration higher than critical pigment volume concentration and further containing a high boiling organic solvent or plasticizer, partially drying the thus-produced coat, and polishing locally areas of the resulting partially dried coat while at least a portion of said solvent or plasticizer is still present in the surface layer of the coat, to thereby produce a color difference between the areas so polished and the areas not polished and develop a variegated-color pattern in the dried coat.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
115 words
A method of producing a variegated coat on a surface comprising the steps of coating the surface with a coat of a synthetic resin emulsion coating composition containing a body pigment and a color pigment in a combined concentration higher than critical pigment volume concentration and further containing a high boiling organic solvent or plasticizer, partially drying the thus-produced coat, and polishing locally areas of the resulting partially dried coat while at least a portion of said solvent or plasticizer is still present in the surface layer of the coat, to thereby produce a color difference between the areas so polished and the areas not polished and develop a variegated-color pattern in the dried coat.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein said coating composition is applied to the surface in a relief pattern and the projecting portions of the pattern are selectively polished.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein said resin emulsion contains per 100 weight parts thereof, 1 to 20 weight parts of the high boiling solvent or plasticizer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
A method as claimed in claim 3 wherein said solvent or plasticizer has a boiling point of at least 190 degrees C.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
27 words
A method as claimed in claim 3 wherein said pigments have an average particle size less than 4 microns as calculated from the specific surface area thereof.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
21 words
A method as claimed in claim 3 wherein said resin emulsion has a pigment volume concentration of from 60% to 80%.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
31 words
A method as claimed in claim 3 wherein said synthetic resin emulsion is a synthetic latices or an aqueous dispersion of an alkyd resin, an epoxy resin or an acrylic resin.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
33 words
A method as claimed in claim 4 wherein said high boiling solvent or plasticizer is a ester type plasticizer, an epoxide type plasticizer, chlorinated paraffin, camphor, a polyhydric alcohol or a derivative thereof.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
66 words
A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein said coating composition contains, per 100 weight parts thereof, 1 to 20 weight parts of a solvent or plasticizer having a boiling point of at least 190° C., has a pigment volume concentration of from 60% to 80%, and said pigments have an average particle size less than 4 microns as calculated from the specific surface area thereof.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
57 words
A method as claimed in claim 9 wherein said resin emulsion is a synthetic latex or an aqueous dispersion of an alkyd resin, an epoxy resin or an acrylic resin and wherein said high boiling solvent or plasticizer is an ester type plasticizer, an epoxide type plasticizer, chlorinated paraffin, camphor, a polyhydric alcohol or a derivative thereof.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
30 words
A method as claimed in claim 9 wherein said resin emulsion is applied to the surface in a relief pattern and the projecting portions of the pattern are selectively polished.
