Abstract
Abstract New coating compositions having controllable drying time and capable of drying rapidly at ambient temperatures without substantial evolution of gaseous by-products caused by conventional driers such as melamines or urea formaldehyde comprising carbodiimides or homologies of carbodiimides together with organic carboxylates. These compositions are particularly useful in providing fast-drying long-oil alkyds which form coatings exhibiting excellent hardness, toughness and resistance to humidity and salt spray.

A controllable drying-time, water-based or organic solvent-based alkyd composition which dries rapidly at ambient temperature without substantial evolution of gaseous by-products and is capable of application and flow on a solid substrate, comprising: (A) about 0.1 to 40.0% by weight of a drying agent selected from the group comprising carbodiimides, polycarbodiimides and substituted polycarbodiimides; (B) about 60 to 99.5% by weight of an organic carboxylate selected from the group comprising alkyds, polyesters, acrylics, epoxides, phenolics, modified acrylics, modified vinyls and urethanes; said carboxylate being present in at least the stochiometric quantity required to react with said drying agent; (C) about 0 to 90.0% by weight of a solvent selected from the group consisting of water, and organic solvents;
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
118 words
A controllable drying-time, water-based or organic solvent-based alkyd composition which dries rapidly at ambient temperature without substantial evolution of gaseous by-products and is capable of application and flow on a solid substrate, comprising: (A) about 0.1 to 40.0% by weight of a drying agent selected from the group comprising carbodiimides, polycarbodiimides and substituted polycarbodiimides; (B) about 60 to 99.5% by weight of an organic carboxylate selected from the group comprising alkyds, polyesters, acrylics, epoxides, phenolics, modified acrylics, modified vinyls and urethanes; said carboxylate being present in at least the stochiometric quantity required to react with said drying agent; (C) about 0 to 90.0% by weight of a solvent selected from the group consisting of water, and organic solvents;
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
