Definitions

  • the invention relates to varnish compositions. More specifically, it relates to varnish compositions suitable for the coating of surfaces of substrates. Varnishes confer to substrate surfaces onto which they are applied numerous properties like high mechanical resistance (to fissuring and scratch, for instance), high flatness, high heat resistance, low permeability to liquids (water, alcohols, etc.), low opacity (contrast ratio), good surface aspect and low gloss (matt effect), to mention only a few of them.
  • the varnish compositions on the market at present day generally contain pyrogenic silica. Pyrogenic silica guarantees a good matting effect but it presents several drawbacks. It is a relatively expensive material.
  • Pyrogenic silica is formed of fine particles and can lead to irritation of the respiratory tract if unproperly handled (see for instance "Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, Fifth, Completely Revised Edition, Volume A 23, Pages 635 to 942, Pyrogenic Silica"). And last but not least, pyrogenic silica can be difficult to disperse in aqueous media which are becoming the current basis for varnish compositions. There is therefore a need for new varnish compositions with less or without pyrogenic silica exhibiting similar or improved properties with respect to the current ones.
  • varnish compositions containing additives which are non toxic, cheaper and easier to handle than pyrogenic silica, and which confer to the surfaces of substrates onto which they are applied similar or improved, surface aspect (low opacity), superficial hardness, gloss, and liquid stain resistance, with respect to varnish compositions of the prior art.
  • the invention relates then to varnish compositions containing particles of calcium carbonate. It has surprisingly been found that when in varnish compositions, pyrogenic silica is at least partially replaced by particles of calcium carbonate, good surface aspect (low opacity), good superficial hardness, acceptable gloss and good liquid stain resistance are obtained for the substrate surfaces onto which the varnish have been applied.
  • the varnish compositions containing the particles of calcium carbonate can be used for exterior and interior applications.
  • varnish compositions one intends to denote varnishes ready to use or any premix of components which can be incorporated into varnishes before they are ready to use.
  • premixes are mixtures containing a binder, a solvent and at least one component selected from antifoaming agents, water emulsion waxes, antifreeze coalescent agent and wetting agents.
  • Varnish compositions are liquid, paste or powder products which can be applied to surfaces of various substrates by various methods and equipment in layers of given thickness. These form adherent films on the surface of the substrate, the film formation occurring by drying. The drying takes place physically or chemically depending on the varnish compositions. Evaporation of solvents and cooling of the melted powder are examples of physical drying. Chemical drying takes place by chemical reaction between varnish components and involves for instance, polymerization and cross-linking reactions. Unlike paints, the films formed on the surface of the varnished substrates are transparent. The transparency or its opposite the opacity of the film can be measured according to standard UNI ISO 3905-1990.
  • the opacity of the film is lower than or equal to 10 %, preferably lower than or equal to 5 % and most preferably lower than or equal to 1 %, while for paints, the opacity is higher than or equal to 90 %, preferably higher than or equal to 95 % and most preferably higher than or equal to 99 %.

  • the organic solvent can be selected from alcohols, glycol ethers and oxygen-containing solvents that are soluble or miscible with water.
  • Varnish compositions where the solvent is only water or is a mixture of water and of at least one organic solvent have several advantages over varnishes containing only organic solvents : the main solvent is water, no environmentally polluting cleavage products are liberated during drying, fastness of the coating is excellent, water is noncombustible and non toxic.
  • the solvent content of the varnish composition is usually higher than or equal to 10 % by weight of the total varnish composition (volatile plus non volatile components), preferably higher than or equal to 25 % by weight and most preferably higher than or equal to 40 % by weight. In addition, the solvent content is generally lower than or equal to 80 % by weight of the total varnish composition, preferably lower than or equal to 70 % by weight and most preferably lower than or equal to 60 % by weight.
  • Coalescing agents are compounds that can be added to varnishes in order to help varnish coalescence and uniform film formation. Coalescing agents can be selected from different families of compounds like polyols and esters. Polyols are preferred.
  • the content of the coalescing agent in the varnish composition is usually higher than or equal to 0.1 % by weight of the total varnish composition, preferably higher than or equal to 0.5 % by weight and most preferably higher than or equal to 1.0 % by weight.
  • the content of the coalescing agent is generally lower than or equal to 5 % by weight of the total varnish composition, preferably lower than or equal to 3 % by weight and most preferably lower than or equal to 2 % by weight.

  • the high molecular mass products can include among others, cellulose nitrate and vinyl chloride copolymers, which are suitable for film formation by physical drying.
  • the low molecular mass products can include alkyd resins, phenolic resins, polyisocyanates, and epoxy resins, which must be chemically dried after application to the substrate to produce acceptable films.
  • Resins can be soluble in organic solvents or in water. Resins which are soluble or easily dispersed in water are preferred. Aqueous dispersions of resins are more preferred.
  • Water-soluble resins can be selected from low molecular mass polymers (lower than 10 000) e.g. alkyds, polyesters, acrylics, polyacrylates, epoxides, epoxy esters and polyurethanes. Polyurethane polymers, acrylic polymers, and mixtures thereof (polyurethane-acrylic polymers) are preferred.
  • Resins for aqueous binder dispersions can be selected from high molecular mass polymers e.g. of styrene, butadiene, acrylate, or vinyl monomers and mixtures thereof. Polyurethane-acrylic polymers are preferred. Such aqueous suspensions are sometimes referred to latex.

  • the content of the binder is generally lower than or equal to 90 % by weight of the total varnish composition, preferably lower than or equal to 80 % by weight and most preferably lower than or equal to 70 % by weight.
  • Plasticizers are generally organic liquids of high viscosity and low volatility. They can lower the softening and film- forming temperatures of the binders, improve flow, flexibility, and adhesion properties.
  • Esters of polyacids e.g. dioctyl phthalate
  • Rheological modifiers can be selected from cellulose, bentonite, xantam gum derivatives and the so called associative thickeners, because they act directly onto the binder surface in order to create a network.

  • Pigments and extenders are responsible for the color and the covering power of paints. They are finely ground crystalline solids that are dispersed in the paint. They constitute a major component of the paint and are usually present in an amount higher than 50 % by weight.
  • the varnish composition of the invention may contain pigments. The amount of pigments us usually lower than or equal to 5 % by weight of the total varnish composition weight, preferably lower than or equal to 3 and most preferably lower than or equal to 1.5. Varnish compositions without pigments and pigment extenders are particularly well suited.
  • non volatile components that can be present in the varnish composition are usually used in small amounts to improve technical properties of the varnish.

  • Synthetic calcium carbonate is usually prepared by precipitation using various sources of calcium and carbonates ions. Synthetic calcium carbonate is preferred, especially precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC).
