Description

(54) TREATMENT OF METAL SURFACES (71) We, PYRENE CHEMICAL SERVICES LIMITED, a British Company, of Ridgeway, Iver, Buckinghamshire, SLO 9JJ, do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement:- There is a major demand in industry for a method of sealing heavy phosphate coatings and applying a uniform black finish. Paint coatings are not satisfactory for the application as they tend to cause too great a dimensional build-up, particularly on close tolerance components such as threaded fasteners. Known alternative methods involve protracted processing sequences.For instance it is known to apply a water black stain in the following sequence ( I ) phosphate; (2) rinse; (3) rinse; (4) aqueous stain (5) dry; (6) oil; and (7) drain.
Water-based black stains in common use are based on mixtures of water-soluble black dyes and chromic acid or chromates. Suitable chromate-containing materials are becoming increasingly unacceptable owing to the health and environmental problems associated with hexavelant chromium.
Instead of using aqueous stains spirit black stains can be applied. However they are usually based on ethanol and/or propanol and thus constitute a significant fire hazard.
Also it is necessary to dry the surface before the application of the stain and so this makes the processing sequence even longer. Attempts to avoid this additional drying step by use of a dewatering composition containing the stain are unsatisfactory since it has not proved practicable to devise such a composition that provides a sufficiently dense colour.
A process is described in French Patent Specification No. 1,260,026 that is intended to permit the replacement of the previous drying, staining, drying and oiling steps by a single treatment but this process does not seem to have been satisfactory. It comprises the application to the rinsed surface of a composition comprising water immiscible solvents such as petrol ethers, a resin soluble in the solvents, a plasticiser for the resin, pigments such as titanium dioxide, and polar hydrophobic products capable of dewatering the surface.
A dewatering stain according to the invention comprises a solution of a nitrogencontaining dewatering surface active agent, a black dye and an air curable resin all dissolved in a mixture of a volatile hydrocarbon solvent and a volatile water miscible polar organic solvent, the hydrocarbon and polar organic solvents being miscible and each having a flash point above 32"C.
A process according to the invention for treating a metal workpiece comprises contacting the workpiece with a phosphating composition, rinsing the phosphated surface at least once, coating the rinsed surface with a black finish by treating it with a stain of the invention, and drying the stain and curing the resin. The drying and curing can often be achieved in a single step by forced drying, or by leaving the workpiece in air.
Thus the stain of the invention in one step displaces water from the treated surface, applies a uniform black colour and a protective layer. Thus it replaces three steps in the conventional water black stain process and four steps in the conventional spirit black stain process by a single application and also can avoid many of the disadvantages incurred when handling conventional water stains and spirit stains.
The preferred hydrocarbon solvent for use in the invention is white spirit, but any aliphatic hydrocarbon which will volatilise in drying can be used. Aromatic hydrocarbons are less suitable owing to toxicity problems, but a minor proportion of chlorinated hydrocarbons such as 1,1, 1-trichloroethane can be included in the composition.
The polar solvent should also be such that it will volatilise during drying of the coating.
Thc two solvents should be miscible i.e. the novel stain is of one phase only. The organic polar solvent should also be miscible with water. It may be, for example, a ketone or alcohol miscible with both water and the hydrocarbon solvent, but preferably it is selected from glycol ethers, ketone alcohols and glycols. Particularly suitable polar solvents are 2-butoxyethanol (butyl Cellosolve) and 4-hydroxy-4-methylpentanone (diacetone alcohol). Cellosolve is a trade mark. We find that best results are achieved when both these named solvents are present.
Both types of solvent used in the novel stain should have a flash point exceeding 32"C, for safety and other practical considerations.
The resin used should be one that dissolves in the solvent mixture but which on drying cures in air to form the desired protective film. This curing generally involves polymerisation and preferably the polymerisation occurs at ambient temperatures or only slightly elevated temperatures, e.g. below 150"C. Preferred resins are urethane resins.
The dyes must also dissolve into the solvent mixture and preferably are diazo dyes since we have found that many diazos are capable of giving a denser colour than other dyes.
The nitrogen containing surface active agent must be one that will replace water on the treated surface and suitable surfactants for this purpose are known. It should also leave an adsorbed corrosion inhibiting film.
Preferred surfactants are selected from ethoxylateda amines, ethoxylated diamines, imidazoline derivatives and sarcosine derivatives. The resin, surfactant and dye components should all be soluble in the hydrocarbon solvent.
In the stain of the invention, the preferred amounts of the various constituents are as follows: 670 to 884, preferably 700 to 813, parts by weight of hydrocarbon solvent; 10 to 100, preferably 32 to 78, parts by weight of polar solvent; 100 to 200, preferably 130 to 175, parts by weight of resin: I to 20, preferably 4 to 16, parts by weight of surface active agent; and 5 to 40, preferably 20 to 25, parts by weight of black dye, all per 1000 parts by weight of stain.
The following Example illustrates the invention.
Example A composition was made up from 4 parts by weight of an oleyl sarcosine surfactant, 2 parts by weight of an ethoxylated diamine surfactant, 300 parts by weight of a 50% solution of a urethane resin in white spirit, 30 parts by weight of ablack diazo dye, 50 parts by weight of 4-hydroxy-4-methylpentanone, 4 parts by weight of 2-butoxy ethanol and 610 parts by weight of white spirit with a flash point of 47"C. The sarcosine surfactant is 'Sarkosyl" 0 supplied by Ciba Geigy Limited. The diamine surfactant is "Ethoduomeen" T/13 supplied by Akzo Chemie. The urethane resin solution is "Unithane" 640w supplied by Cray Valley Products and the dye is Ceres Black BN supplied by Bayer.
"Sarkosyl", "Ethoduomeen" and "Unithane" are trade marks.
Steel panels were phosphated to give a heavy zinc phosphate coating in accordance with British Standard 3189 1973 Type 1B.
After phosphating the panels were rinsed with water and dipped without immediate drying in the above composition. On draining and drying at 120"C for 10 minutes a uniform black finish was obtained which withstood 48 hours exposure to the ASTM B117 salt spray test.
WHAT WE CLAIM IS: 1. A stain comprising a nitrogen-containing dewatering surface active agent, a black dye and an air curable resin all dissolved in a mixture of a volatile hydrocarbon solvent and a volatile water miscible polar organic solvent and in which the volatile hydrocarbon solvent and the volatile polar organic solvent are miscible and each has a flash point above 32"C.
