Abstract

Abstract The invention relates to a process for the preparation of an antimony oxide-doped tin oxide pigment with a white or off-white color and a surface electrical resistance not exceeding 20 ohms/square, comprising the intimate mixing of tin oxide and antimony oxide, then heating the resultant mixture to a high temperature, in which a proportion of 1.25 to 10 parts by weight of antimony oxide Sb 2 O 3 per 100 parts by weight of tin oxide SnO 2 is mixed and the mixture of Sb 2 O 3 and of SnO 2 is calcined at a temperature in the range from 900° to 950° C. Application for the manufacture of electrically conductive white or colored paints which are useful particularly in aeronautics.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 85 words
A process for producing an antimony oxide-doped tin oxide pigment comprising the steps of intimately mixing 1.25 to 10 parts by weight of antimony oxide powder present as Sb 2 O 3 with 100 parts by weight of tin oxide powder present as SnO 2 and thereafter firing the resultant mixture at a temperature in the range of from 900° to 950° C., to provide an oxide-doped tin oxide pigment having a white to off-white color and a surface electrical resistance not exceeding 20 ohms/square.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 85 words
A process for producing an antimony oxide-doped tin oxide pigment comprising the steps of intimately mixing 1.25 to 10 parts by weight of antimony oxide powder present as Sb 2 O 3 with 100 parts by weight of tin oxide powder present as SnO 2 and thereafter firing the resultant mixture at a temperature in the range of from 900° to 950° C., to provide an oxide-doped tin oxide pigment having a white to off-white color and a surface electrical resistance not exceeding 20 ohms/square.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 23 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein 2.5 to 5 parts of antimony oxide are mixed per 100 parts of tin oxide.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 35 words
A white or colored paint comprising at least one pigment, at least one binder, and at least one solvent wherein said at least one pigment is a pigment produced by the process of claim 1.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 34 words
The paint of claim 3 which additionally contains at least one electrically nonconductive pigment, and wherein the weight ratio of the electrically nonconductive pigment to the pigment of claim 6 does not exceed 1:1.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 25 words
The paint of claim 3 in which the weight ratio of total pigments to the binder is in the range of from 1.5 to 4.
