Abstract:
Water repellent treating compositions are based upon olefin and paraffin materials containing a substantial proportion of compounds containing from 20 to 24 carbon atoms. The treating compositions are especially useful for application to wood. Additives such as wood preservatives, alkyd resins and, in especially preferred compositions, organic ionizable compounds are included. The preferred compositions are useful for application to wood substrates which are subsequently electrostatically sprayed with a topcoating.
Abstract:
A method and a system are provided for producing a continuous liquid spray curtain which, when sprayed onto a moving surface, covers essentially the entirety of that surface without substantial streaking thereof. The subject spray curtain is produced by discharging a continuous air curtain at a relatively high velocity of at least 600 feet per second. A plurality of liquid streams are at the same time discharged from a liquid discharge means at a relatively low velocity of not more than about 20 feet per second. The air curtain contacts the liquid streams at a minimum contact angle of between about -10.degree. and about +30.degree., measured from the center line of the liquid discharge means. The contacting air curtain atomizes the liquid streams and forms the subject high velocity, uniform, liquid spray curtain.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for coating a substrate with a transparent, weather-resistant, light-stable exterior varnish or lacquer comprising blending a transparent coating resin free of drying types of unsaturation, and free of chlorine and bromine, and a minor amount of a compatible transparent, uncured, unoxidized, water-insoluble linear condensation resin of formaldehyde and a phenol having the formula:
wherein R'' is a radical selected from the group consisting of alkyl, substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, substituted cycloalkyl, aryl, and substituted aryl, and R and R'''' are radicals taken from said group or H, the methylene groups in the condensation resin being in the ortho, ortho'' position with respect to the hydroxy group, applying a thin coating of the transparent composition to a substrate, and exposing said coating to conditions, for instance outdoor exposure and/or an oxidation catalyst such as the metallic driers commonly used with unsaturated drying oils, such that oxidation of the phenolaldehyde condensate is achieved to an extent that at least some of the ortho, ortho'' -CH2- groups connected to phenol rings are converted to
groups, whereby the oxidized phenol-aldehyde condensate protects the coating resin and substrate from oxidation or degradation induced by actinic light or other means, the amount of condensation resin being from 5 percent to 35 percent, preferably 10 to 30 percent, based on the combined weights of the resins. The phenol-aldehyde resin may be oxidized prior to being introduced into a coating resin, or it may be oxidized while mixed with the coating resin when it is in liquid form, as an aqueous dispersion, organic solvent solution, or non-aqueous dispersion of the polymer.
