- COATING Sl'RIPPING COMPOSITION AND METHOD
.

Background of the Invention The invention is concerned with compositions which are useful for removing or stripping protective and/or decorative coatings from substrates. The invention is also concerned with a method for removing said coatings.
In the manufacture of various commercial articles, it is often the p~actice to provide such articles with a protective and/or decorative film of a coating composition, such as a paint film, on the surface of the article. Coating composi-tions, such as paints, are generally construed in their normal broad terms to include a variety of film forming compositions which are applied in a variety of manners, such as spraying and dipping, and include various means of applica-tion such as with or without organic carriers, water based substances, electrostatic sprays, application using various means of energy for curing, such as heat, electron beam, in rared, W
and the like. In general, the paint or coating composition is comprised of a varie_y of film forming materials, including acrylic resins, epoxy resins, vinyl resins, polyester resins as alkyd resins, urethanes and the like. In addition, the substrate to which the application of the coating composition is made generally has a corrosion protective coating applied thereto, such as an iron phosphate coating composition of the Bonderite type (trademark of Oxy Metal Industries Corpora-tion).
In the course of manufacturing the articles, it becomes desirable to remove the protective coating for a number o~
reasons, such as an inappropriate or inadequate coating, some defect in the substrate and the like.
Use has been made in the past of chlorinated hydrocarbon paint stripping compositions. The difficulty with many of the previous paint stripping compositions are that they may take an inordinate amount of time or req~lire components that are undesirable from the point of view of having a detri-mental effect on the personnel who would be usin~ -the stripping compositions.
Canadian Patent: 708,141 teaches a paint stripping com-position which contain~ a halogenated carboxylic acid an organic sulfonic acid in an aqueous carrier.
U.S. 3 544 365 teaches the use of methylene chloride compositions containing triethanol amine lauryl sulfate anionic oil soluble surfactant plus formic acid as a composition for removing food residues.
U.S. 3 356 614 teaches a trichloroethylene composi-tion containing an activator which is a combination of acetic acid and trichloroacetic acid for film stripping purposes.
The above and other compositions used in the trade are not sufficiently efficient in removal of the coating compositions from the substrate in a sufficient period of time.
Summary of the Invention The invention is concerned with a composition capable of removing protective and/or decorative coatings from a substrate comprising a major amount of a chlorinated hydrocarbon of from one to four carbon atoms;
a minor amount o a carboxylic acid accelerator use-ful for accelerating the removal of the coating from the substrate; and an effecti~e amount of a penetrating amphoteric nitrogen containing surfactant.
To improve the efficiency of the composition, a sur-factant emulsifier of the SOX type and a corrosion in-hibitor of the acetylenic alcohol type may be used.
Description of Preferred Embodiment The composition of the present invention is capable of removing a variety of films rom substrates. The substrates ;~

3~

can be an~ o~ the normal substr~tes encountered ln industry, such as iron, example steel, such as cold rolled steel or stainless steel, or light metals, such as al-~inum, titaniuTn, and most alloys thereof. In general, the su~strate that has S the protective and/or decorative coating applied thereto which is to be removed is dipped into a vat containing the coating stripping composition of the present invention. This i5 normally performed at ambient ~emperature and pressure, although higher temperatures up to the boiling point of the composition could be employed. Generally no agitation is employed, although it is to be appreciated that for increased efficiency, agitation may be deemed desirable when a particularly adhesive composition is to be removed from a substrate.
In addition to the components which have been described above, other additional components are used in the coating composition to improve the overall efficiency. Such compo-nents are a combination of wax and aromatic compounds which assist in the application of the composition to the substrate and thereby assist in the removal. The wax and aromatic compound also retard evaporation of the stripping composition Materials such as aromatic hydrocarbons~ as xylene, toluene, and other alkylated aromatics may be employed. A paraffinic wax may likewise be used.
The acetylenic alcohol that is employed in the present case is one that inhibits corrosion of the substrate to which the stripping CompositiGn is to be applied. Suitable acety-lenic alcohols are hexynol, ethyloctynol, ethynyl cyclohexy-nol, methylbutynol, methylpentynol and the like.
The acid accelerator that is useful in the present application is a carboxylic acid that is liquid at ambient and containing from one to twelve carbon atoms. A preferred carboxylic acid is a halogenated carboxylic acid, such as the chlorinated material. Suitable carboxylic acids are formic, acetic, proprionic, butyric and the like, while the haloge-nated acids are chloroacetic, trichloroacetic and the li~e.
It is most preferred that a combination of the acids be ~ ~ _4_ employed, such as the combination of Eormic acid and tri-chloroacetic acid used in amounts of one part formic acid to one to ten parts trichloroacetic acid.
~mulsifiers of the organic So~ type may be employed such as sulfurous, sulfonic and sulfuric acids and the like, as well as the alkali salts thereof, such as sodium, potassium and the like. The SOX emulsifiers that are used are generally long chain substances containing upwards of twenty-two carbon atoms. Suitable emulsifiers of the SOX
type are petroleum sulfonate, sulfates of alcohol, sulfates of ethoxylated alcohol, sul~ates and sulfonates of ethoxylated alkyl phenols, sulfates of fatty esters, sulfates and sulfonates of oils and fatty acids, sulfon-ates of alkyl aryls, sulfonates of benzene, toluene and xylene, sulfonates of condensed naphthalenes, sulfonates of dodecyl and tridecyl benzene, sulfonates of naphthalene and alkyl naphthalene and the like.
The penetratin~ amphoteric nitrogen containing sur-factant is one that is useful for improving the efficiency of the stripping composition. While one does not wish to be held to any theory, it is believed that the amphoteric nitrogen containing surfactant has a tendency to penetrate the film to be removed, thereby allowing for destruction and removal of the coating cornposition or film from the substrate. Suitable amphoteric nitro~en containin~ sur-factants are materials of the Aromox DMC-W type (trademark of Armour Industrial Chemical Company for dimethyl coco-amine oxide), materials such as the Miranol C2M-SF type (trademark of Miranol Chemical Company for dicarboxylic coconut amine derivative disodium salt), as well as the pyridine arnphoteric type and the irnadazoline amphoteric type. Additional usefu~ amphoteric materials are lauryl myristyl amido propyl betaine, cocamidopropyl betaine, cocamidopropyl hydroxy sultaine, cocobetaine, disodium lauriminopropionate, disodium tallow-iminodipropionate, tallow-amidopropyl hydroxy sultaine, tallow betaine. By "amphoteric' is meant the ability to behave as an acid or a base.
