Definitions

  • the invention relates to coatings to protect surfaces against the undesired effects of deposits or contamination, such as graffiti, algae, moss or fungal growth or other environmental contamination. Keeping surfaces clean these days often requires special attention. Many surfaces exposed to the environment are continuously at risk of being contaminated by undesired deposits, such as soot, grease, traffic dust, pollution, accidental stains, etc. Wilful contamination of a surface often is seen in the form of graffiti or scrawl on walls, doors, pillars, windows, roofs and other surfaces of buildings. Also, growth of algae, moss or fungi on surfaces is in many cases undesired. Especially surfaces under damp or wet conditions, such as north- or east exposed surfaces, or surfaces in bathroom or kitchen are susceptible to algae, moss or fungal growth. Algae or fungi or symbiotic populations of algae and fungi occur particularly on surfaces painted with water based paint. Underwater surfaces, such as on docks or ships, in particular are prone to algae growth.
  • packing material such as wrapping paper or carton, pallets, wood chips or organic fibers
  • fungicide to prevent fungal growth, especially on its surface, for example due to damp conditions that are seen during transport over seas, or transport under other circumstances that promote fungal growth .
  • semi-permanent coating systems which are in general a combination of a first layer of a permanent coating as above, combined with a top layer of a self-sacrificing system.
  • the invention provides a surface coating comprising a proteinaceous substance or derivatives thereof, capable of protecting surfaces against the undesired effects of deposits or contamination as varied as scrawl or graffiti, algae, moss or fungal growth, brines, or other contamination.
  • said proteinaceous substance comprises a mixture of a relatively elastic protein and a relatively viscous protein. Elasticity and viscosity are preferred to provide superior coating characteristics.
  • said proteins are capable of forming multimeric complexes to further enhance the coating capacity of the proteinaceous substance.
  • Preferred proteinaceous substances can be found among animal proteins such as collagen and/or gelatin, or among plant proteins such as storage proteins.
  • the invention provides a surface coating comprising gluten.
  • Gluten are in general relatively water-insoluble proteins from for example wheat and other edible grasses, comprising in general a mixture of two proteins (each of which are suitable for use in a coating as provided by the invention) : glutenins and gliadins, which contain in general 30-50% glutamine (Q) and 10-25% proline (P) .
  • Glutenins are of high molecular weight, comprising from 500-1000 amino acid molecules, covalently bound head-to-tail by disulfide bridges, forming multimeric complexes.
  • Glutenins are in general responsible for the elasticity and extensibility of the gluten.
  • the gliadines are of lower molecular weight, comprising from 250 to 600 amino acids, are monomeric, and are in general responsible for the viscosity of the gluten.
  • a proteinaceous coating is that it is in essence bio-degradable, it is not toxic for man, animals plants and environment, cannot or only little burn, and is a renewable source being a natural product.
  • Applying a proteinaceous coating results in a relatively elastic film, due to the presence of elastic protein, while it can easily be applied due to the viscosity generated by a viscous protein.
  • the relative water-insolubility of a proteinaceous substance allows outdoor use.
  • the proteinaceous film can furthermore simply be removed with water despite its relative water- insolubility, e.g. by applying a high-pressure sprayer, without having to resort to chemical solvents or other corrosive or abrasive techniques, and less expensive over existing coatings.
  • the invention provides a surface coating comprising gluten wherein said gluten is derived from wheat, or other gluten (derivatives) easily obtainable in the field.
  • said gluten or derivatives thereof are dispersed in a fluid that easily can be applied to the specific surface to be treated; thickness and other characteristics of such a fluid can easily be changed to accommodate diverse needs related to diverse surfaces.
  • a surface coating according to the invention wherein said proteinaceous substance or derivatives thereof are dispersed in a fluid comprising at least a crosslinking agent, or a matrix forming agent such as polyvinylalcohol, preferably in a range from 0.5 to 20, more preferably 1 to 10, most preferably 2 to 8% (crosslinking) agent.
  • Crosslinking agents are well known in the art. Crosslinking provides a coating according to the invention with a better resistance to water, at least to cold water, whereby said coating as provided by the invention is better resistant to weather influences such as rain and sleet, and subsequent drying. Removing it simply requires the use of warm or hot water.
  • a surface coating according to the invention can be applied on a great variety of surfaces, for example wherein said surface is a mineral, such as brickwork or masonry, concrete, plaster, stone, glass; a metal such as iron or steel, aluminium, copper; a plastic such as (synthetic) rubber, polymethylmetacrylate, polycarbonate, polyurethane, epoxy, polyvinylchloride, polypropylene, ureumformaldehyde, polyesters or wood, including painted wood.
  • Foreseen applications are use as biodegradable coating or as active ingredient of an other protective system on food- and feed products to avoid (effects of) contamination and or pollution.
  • biodegradable coating or active ingredient of an other protective system on walls, roofs, floors, (outside) furniture, fences, screens to avoid the build up or to remove the green film containing algae and other organisms.
  • Use as a biodegradable coating or as an active or passive ingredient of an other protective system e.g. for all types of packaging materials e.g. wood materials and pallets.
  • Use as an additive to water containing systems to prevent or remove the green film or haze Use as herbicide to prevent or inhibit or destroy plant growth. Use as fungicide. Use as pesticide. Use for treatment of thatched or tiled roofs and such, to avoid and/or remove primarily green films containing algae, fungi, moss and such, thereby protecting the roof from the deteriorating effects of these growths.
  • Painted surfaces in general are advantageously treated with a surface coating according to the invention to protect them against contamination or the undesired effects thereof.
  • the invention provides a surface coating protecting surfaces against graffiti or algae or fungi growth.
  • the invention provides use of a surface coating as provided by the invention as masking coating.
  • the invention furthermore provides a method to protect a surface against the undesired effect of a contamination on said surface comprising applying a coating comprising gluten or derivatives thereof to said surface, optionally, when so desired to remove a contamination, further comprising removing said contamination from said surface by removing said coating, e.g. by applying water, for example under high pressure.
  • a coating as provided by the invention is used in a method according to the invention to protect a surface against the undesired effect of a contamination on said surface.
  • the invention provides a method for applying a lacquer or paint pattern or picture on a surface comprising masking at least a part of said surface with a coating according to the invention further comprising applying lacquer or paint to, preferably, an unmasked part of said surface.
  • a coating as provided by the invention is thus used in a method to mask or protect parts of a surface that thereafter is sprayed or otherwise treated with lacquer or paint in order to provide said surface with a picture or pattern.
  • the masking coating is removed or washed off, for example by applying water with sufficient pressure, preferably when the paint or lacquer forming the desired pattern or picture has sufficiently set.
  • a coating as provided by the invention may for example contain the following components: proteinaceous substance such as wheat protein thickener weakening agent preservative anti foaming agent
  • the thickener may be selected in the range of wheat,- or potato, - or corn starch.
  • Thickeners like guar gum, xanthaan gum, locust bean gum, methyl-cellulose and derivatives thereof or carboxymethylcellulose and CMC derivatives can also be used.
  • Weakening agents can be chosen out of the group of alkane-glycolen, glycerol, sorbitol, mono and or disacharrides, or others known in the art. To preserve the dispersion a preservative may be used.
  • It can for example be chosen from the group organic acids from c-1 to c-4, sorbic acid, benzoic acid or combinations thereof.
  • an anti-foaming agent can be used. All the components may be dissolved or dispersed in a suitable fluid such as water to be applied as coating or spray.
  • a base suspension contains for example a protein, such as gluten, a preservative, such as propionic acid, and water.
  • a protein such as gluten
