Abstract
Abstract The tendency of metallic pigments, especially of aluminum flake pigments, to react with the aqueous medium of a water-born paint composition with the generation of gaseous material is prevented or reduced by incorporating in the composition an agent containing in the molecule at least one P-OH group, or a salt derivative thereof, which is obtained by reacting a compound containing the grouping -O-PO(OH2) with one or more epoxide group-containing compounds at least one of which also contains at least one aromatic or alicyclic group.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
A water-borne coating composition comprising a film-forming polymer, a metallic pigment and an aqueous diluent medium, wherein the tendency of the pigment to react with the aqueous medium and release gaseous material is prevented or reduced by the incorporation in the composition of an agent which contains in the molecule at least one acidic hydroxyl group linked to a phosphorus atom, or a salt derivative thereof, and which is the reaction product of (i) a compound containing in the molecule the grouping ##STR4## with (ii) one or more compounds which contain in the molecule at least one epoxide group and at least one of which also contains in the molecule at least one aromatic or alicyclic group, provided that, if the component (i) or one of the compounds (ii), or both, contain an aliphatic group of more than 6 carbon atoms, the total proportion of such aliphatic groups in the reaction product does not exceed 65% by weight.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
158 words
A water-borne coating composition comprising a film-forming polymer, a metallic pigment and an aqueous diluent medium, wherein the tendency of the pigment to react with the aqueous medium and release gaseous material is prevented or reduced by the incorporation in the composition of an agent which contains in the molecule at least one acidic hydroxyl group linked to a phosphorus atom, or a salt derivative thereof, and which is the reaction product of (i) a compound containing in the molecule the grouping ##STR4## with (ii) one or more compounds which contain in the molecule at least one epoxide group and at least one of which also contains in the molecule at least one aromatic or alicyclic group, provided that, if the component (i) or one of the compounds (ii), or both, contain an aliphatic group of more than 6 carbon atoms, the total proportion of such aliphatic groups in the reaction product does not exceed 65% by weight.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
A composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein the compound (i) is orthophosphoric acid or a monoester thereof, the esterifying group being an alkyl, alkoxyalkyl, aryl, alkyl-substituted aryl, cycloalkyl or heterocyclic group.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
A composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein the compound (ii) contains a single epoxide group and a single aromatic or alicyclic group.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
14 words
A composition as claimed in claim 3, wherein the compound (ii) is phenylglycidyl ether.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
A composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein the compound (ii) contains two or more epoxide groups and/or two or more aromatic or alicyclic groups.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
A composition as claimed in claim 5, wherein the compound (ii) is an epoxy resin obtained by the reaction of epichlorhydrin with bisphenol-A.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
36 words
A composition as claimed in claim 5, wherein the compound (ii) is an addition copolymer derived from at least one monomer containing an aromatic or alicyclic ring and at least one monomer containing an epoxide group.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
21 words
A composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein the reaction between the compounds (i) and (ii) is catalysed by a base.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
14 words
A composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein the metallic pigment is aluminium flake.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
27 words
A composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein the metallic pigment has been contacted with the inhibiting agent prior to incorporation of the pigment into the composition.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
19 words
A composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein the inhibiting agent is introduced during the formulation of the composition.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
34 words
A composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein the inhibiting agent is used in an amount which, on the basis of its acid value, is equivalent to from 0.2% to 5% of orthophosphoric acid.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
27 words
A composition as claimed in claim 12, wherein the inhibiting agent is used in an amount which is equivalent to from 0.5% to 2% of orthophosphoric acid.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
35 words
A process for coating a substrate wherein there is initially applied to the substrate surface a basecoat composition according to claim 1 and there is then applied to the resulting film a transparent topcoat composition.
