Abstract:
A method for producing a water-resistant aluminum pigment dispersion includes (a) adding a treatment agent containing a compound of general formula (1) described below to an aluminum pigment dispersion containing aluminum pigment particles dispersed in an organic solvent and reacting a hydroxy group present on a surface of each of the aluminum pigment particles with the compound of general formula (1) described below to form a film on the surface of each aluminum pigment particle, (b) removing at least a portion of the organic solvent, and (c) adding an aqueous solution containing at least one selected from polyoxyethylene alkyl ether phosphate and salts thereof, (wherein p represents an integer of 1 to 3, q represents an integer that satisfies the equation p + q = 3, r represents an integer of 2 to 10, R 1 and R 2 each independently represent an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and R 3 represents an acrylic group, an acryloyl group, or a methacryloyl group).
Abstract:
This invention relates to the control of radiant thermal energy and more specifically to highly Thermal Infrared (IRT) reflective pigments for use in decorative coatings for buildings or other areas where the control of IRT energy and visual decoration are required. Control of the spread of thermal energy in domestic buildings through passive techniques reduces energy consumption by reducing reliance on heating in cool environments and cooling air-conditioning in warm environments. A number of paint formulations having low emissivity in the thermal infrared exist which are based on variants of conventional decorative paint fluids. There are a number of problems associated with such formulations such as susceptibility to damage and high emissivity for certain color pigmentations. The present invention proposes a low emissivity flake for use in a paint formulation which substantially overcomes the problems associated with the prior art.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a metal pigment composition which can be used in an aqueous coating and shows excellent storage stability of a coating agent, and which is reduced in the deterioration of glossiness, hiding power, flip-flop property and the like when formed into a coating film. Specifically disclosed is a metal pigment composition which is treated with at least one amine salt of a heteropoly acid. The heteroatom constituting the heteropoly acid is at least one element selected from the elements belonging to Groups III, IV and V. The polyatom constituting the heteropoly acid is a transition metal. The amount of the amine salt of the heteropoly acid is preferably 0.01 to 10 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of a metal pigment. The metal pigment is preferably an aluminum flake.
Abstract:
A powder treatment method (10) includes loading powder into a fluidized bed vessel. At least some of the powder is fluidized in the fluidized bed vessel using an inert gas. While fluidized, the powder is heated in the fluidized bed vessel. A surface treatment coating is then applied to the powder.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a phosphate group-containing resin comprising, as polymerized units, a polymerizable unsaturated polyester having at least one phosphate group and/or having at least one phosphoric acid group, a (meth)acrylate based polymerizable monomer, and an alkoxylated (meth)acrylic acid polymerizable monomer; and a use of the phosphate-group containing resin as a treating agent of a metallic pigment or an inorganic pigment, especially used in a water-based coating composition.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a resin-coated metal pigment comprising 100 parts by weight of a metal pigment and 0.1 to 50 parts by weight of a resin, wherein the resin is attached on the surface of the metal pigment. The resin-coated metal pigment is produced by circulating a portion of a slurry solution containing the metal pigment in an external-circulation type vessel during the resin coating treatment in a reaction vessel and applying a vibration to the external-circulation type vessel with an ultrasonic wave.
Abstract:
The invention relates to electrodeposition paint pigments which are embodied as lamellar metal pigments that are coated with at least one coating agent. Said coating agent (a) is provided with one or several binder functionalities of anodic dipping paint binders, (b) one or several functional groups for adhesion or binding to the pigment surface, and (c) an acid number of 15 to 300 mg KOH/g of coating agent. The invention further relates to a method for producing said electrodeposition paint pigments as well as the use thereof.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for preparing platelet-like pigments comprising a core and at least one coating layer consisting essentially of a compound having from 60 to 95% by weight of carbon and from 5 to 25% by weight of nitrogen, the balance to 100% being selected from elements of the group consisting of hydrogen, oxygen and sulfur, comprising the steps of: (a) suspending plateletlike particles in a liquid; (b) adding one or more polymers containing nitrogen and carbon atoms, or (a1 ) suspending one or more polymers containing nitrogen and carbon atoms in a liquid; (b1 ) adding the plateletlike particles, (c) effecting a polymeric coating layer to be formed on the surface of said plateletlike particles from the polymers added at step (b), or (a1 ); (d) isolating said plateletlike particles having said polymeric coating layer from the suspension; and (e) heating said plateletlike particles having said polymeric coating layer to a temperature of from 100 °C to 1000 °C in a gaseous environment, to the pigments obtained by the method and the use thereof. It is possible by the process of the present invention to obtain very regular, homogeneous and continuous coatings in an extremely wide range of thicknesses.
Abstract:
A flake pigment which is suitable for use in a powder coating composition, enables a coating film to give an excellent metallic feeling and a highly bright feeling, and imparts satisfactory secondary adhesiveness to the film. The flake pigment comprises flaky base particles and a coating film which consists of one or more layers and with which the surface of the base particles is coated, wherein at least one of the one or more layers comprises a resin composition containing a copolymer having combined units derived from a polymerizable fluoromonomer having a fluoroalkyl group and combined units derived from a polymerizable monomer having a phosphate group.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a metal pigment for a cosmetic preparation such as lipstick, nail varnish, eye shadow, hair dye, liquid mascara, powder, eyeliner, rouge, skin/haircare agents, perfume, eau de toilette, lotions or similar, whereby a metallic substrate comprises a substrate-enclosing layer with a barrier effect against sweat and saliva, which prevents a direct contact between skin and metallic substrate and which is produced by a sol/gel method.
