Definitions
- This invention relates to coating materials and more particularly with such coating materials which may be used as a substitute for tin on metal containers to protect the metal from corrosion and to preserve products which may be placed in the containers.
- the coatings are unstable and tend to contaminate food products on long storage. Also, many coatings will not withstand high temperatures which are often necessary in packaging foods in metal containers. Many of the prior art coatings require the use Of chemicals which are not available in times of war in the great quantities demanded by the canning industry.
- the general object of this invention is the provision of a protective coating of the type mentioned and a process of making it which will obviate the difliculties mentioned above.
- the protective. coating of this invention can be applied directly to the surface of metal containers,
- the coating of this invention may be applied to metals, such as iron, steel, aluminum, tin, and various alloys, without the necessity of using a primer, and it has beenfound not to contami nate food in any way. Foods especially susceptible to taste contamination were found not to be affected at all.
- the coating will adhere better ifthe surface of the iron is first subjected to a hot dip phosphate treatment.
- my invention comprises heating March a, 1883, as 370 o. G. 757) a mixture comprising polylactylic acids (also known as, polylactyllactic acids) and a drying oil, preferably in the presence of a catalyst. whereupon the mixture becomes resinifie-d to a soft, elastic, and soluble material.
- drying oils includes the class of oils known as "semidrying oils, and oils which may become drying oils during the process of this invention.
- any oil of this class may be used, such as castor oil, dehydrated castor oil, corn oil, linseed oil, tung oil, oiticica oil, Perilla oil, and soya bean oil.
- the catalysts which may be employed are, activated bauxite, cobalt salts (such as cobalt oxide, ferrous lactate, powdered iron, aluminum powder, magnesium turnings, magnesium methoxide, vanadium pentoxide, and cobalt oxide.
- the catalyst appears tocatalyze both a condensation and polymerization reaction. A better product is formed if the mixture also includes a material such as fumaric acid or maleic anhydride. rcsinified material is then dissolved in a solvent, such as xylene, acetone, butyl alcohol, benzene, and Iglycol monomethyl ether, or a mixture of two or more of these solvents, to which is added a drying agent, which should be of a non-toxic nature so as to eliminate the possibility of any food poisoning.
- a solvent such as xylene, acetone, butyl alcohol, benzene, and Iglycol monomethyl ether
- Suitable drying agents are zinc naphthenate, cobalt naphthenate, andmanganese naphthenate.- If desired, thinning agents may be used, such as toluene and petroleum solvents.
- This solution is then applied directly to the surface of the metal to be coated, such as by dipping, roller coating, and spraying, and then baked until hard; The time and temperature of baking will vary with the composition of. the coating solution and the surface to which it is applied. Ordinarily the baking may be accomplished at a temperature between C.
- Example 1 13.7 parts of polylactylic acids, 6.7 parts of castor oil, 2 parts of fumaric acid, and 2 parts of activatedbauxite granules (20/60) mesh were 7 mixed in an open vessel, while'heatlng with continuous stirring, arid the temperature raised to a out 265 chloride), ferric oxide, chromic As the second phase of the process, the
- the resulting coating was found to be tough and hard, to adhere excellently to the metal, and to resist decomposition by steam, acids, such as hydro'chloric and acetic acids of various concentrations, alcohols, and weak alkalies, such as, 1% sodium hydroxide.
- acids such as hydro'chloric and acetic acids of various concentrations, alcohols, and weak alkalies, such as, 1% sodium hydroxide.
- the same coating solution was applied to a steel container and baked in the same manner, after which two additional coats were baked on in the same way over the first coat.
- Five gallon milk cans coated in this way were put into regular dairy service for a period ofone to two months and were found not to contaminate the milk in any way.
- Example 2 100 parts of polylactylic acids, 50 parts of soya bean oil, parts of fumaric acid, and 1 part of activated bauxite granules were dissolved in an excess of xylene-butanol solvent mixture to aid in blending the ingredients and heated under a reflux condenser until the ingredients became blended. The condenser was then removed and the solvent was permittedto boil off. The temperature was increased to about 260 to 270 C. and maintained thereat for about 6 hours.
- the brown rubbery resin resulting was dissolved in a mixture of 50 parts of xylene and 50 parts of butanol to make a solid content of 30%, filtered, and 0.3% of zinc naphthenate and 0.6% of cobalt naphthenate were added to the solution.
- the same procedure as explained in Example 2 was followed in baking the resin on an iron surface, and the baked product was tested and found to be resistant against steam, weak alkalies, and alcohols.
- Example 3 Same as Example 2, except that linseed oil was used instead of soya bean oil.
- Example 4 100 parts of polylactylic acids, 50 parts of castor oil, 5 parts of maleic anhydride, and 1 part of ferric oxide were dissolved in a mixture of xylene and isoamyl alcohol. By gradually heating the mixture to 260 C. the solvent was boiled oil. The mixture was then held at a temperature between 260 and 265 C. and stirred for about 3 hours until the resin became viscous. The resultin resinous composition was dissolved in benzene to make a coating solution. The solution was spread on an iron surface and baked 90 minutes in an oven, the temperature of which was gradually increased from 150 to 210 C.
- Example 5 500 parts of polylactylic acids, 500 parts of castor oil, and 2 parts of concentrated sulphuric acid were mixed together and the temperature gradually raised to 260 C. over a period of 2 hours to blend the materials. The temperature was then held between 260 and 280 C. for about 3v hours, with constant stirring. The resulting resinous compound was then dissolved in benzene to make a coating composition containing 30% -01 the resin'by weight. This material was spread Example 6 The same as Example 1, except that ferrous lactate was used instead of activated bauxite granules.
- Example 7 The same as Example 1, except that cobalt chloride was used instead of activated bauxite granules.
- Example 8 The same as Example 1, except that magnesium I methoxide was used instead of activated bauxite granules.
- the process comprising heating a mixture comprising polylactylic acids and afatty drying oil at a temperature and for a period of time sum,- cient to cause the mixture to become resinified to a soft and elastic material, followed by baking the material on a metal surface.

the coatings are unstable and tend to contaminate food products on long storage. Also, many coatings will not withstand high temperatures which are often necessary in packaging foods in metal containers. Many of the prior art coatings require the use Of chemicals which are not available in times of war in the great quantities demanded by the canning industry.
The general object of this invention is the provision of a protective coating of the type mentioned and a process of making it which will obviate the difliculties mentioned above. The protective. coating of this invention can be applied directly to the surface of metal containers,
not involve the use of materials which are or which may become scarce, insofar as it can be foreseen at present, in either normal times or in times of war. 1 i
- The coating of this invention may be applied to metals, such as iron, steel, aluminum, tin, and various alloys, without the necessity of using a primer, and it has beenfound not to contami nate food in any way. Foods especially susceptible to taste contamination were found not to be affected at all. In using iron, the coating will adhere better ifthe surface of the iron is first subjected to a hot dip phosphate treatment. In general, my invention comprises heating March a, 1883, as 370 o. G. 757) a mixture comprising polylactylic acids (also known as, polylactyllactic acids) and a drying oil, preferably in the presence of a catalyst. whereupon the mixture becomes resinifie-d to a soft, elastic, and soluble material. It is to be understood that the term drying oils" as used herein includes the class of oils known as "semidrying oils, and oils which may become drying oils during the process of this invention. In general, any oil of this class may be used, such as castor oil, dehydrated castor oil, corn oil, linseed oil, tung oil, oiticica oil, Perilla oil, and soya bean oil. Examples of the catalysts which may be employed are, activated bauxite, cobalt salts (such as cobalt oxide, ferrous lactate, powdered iron, aluminum powder, magnesium turnings, magnesium methoxide, vanadium pentoxide, and cobalt oxide.
The catalyst appears tocatalyze both a condensation and polymerization reaction. A better product is formed if the mixture also includes a material such as fumaric acid or maleic anhydride. rcsinified material is then dissolved in a solvent, such as xylene, acetone, butyl alcohol, benzene, and Iglycol monomethyl ether, or a mixture of two or more of these solvents, to which is added a drying agent, which should be of a non-toxic nature so as to eliminate the possibility of any food poisoning. Suitable drying agents are zinc naphthenate, cobalt naphthenate, andmanganese naphthenate.- If desired, thinning agents may be used, such as toluene and petroleum solvents. This solution is then applied directly to the surface of the metal to be coated, such as by dipping, roller coating, and spraying, and then baked until hard; The time and temperature of baking will vary with the composition of. the coating solution and the surface to which it is applied. Ordinarily the baking may be accomplished at a temperature between C. and 260 Example 1 13.7 parts of polylactylic acids, 6.7 parts of castor oil, 2 parts of fumaric acid, and 2 parts of activatedbauxite granules (20/60) mesh were 7 mixed in an open vessel, while'heatlng with continuous stirring, arid the temperature raised to a out 265 chloride), ferric oxide, chromic As the second phase of the process, the
C. and maintained for about 7% hours until the resulting resin became viscous, soft, and
elastic. A 50% yield of a brown rubbery resin was obtained. This resin was dissolved in a mixture of xylene and butyl alcohol to form a solution containing 30% of resin and then filtered. On the basis of the resin content, 0.2% of zinc naphthenate and 0.4% of cobalt naphthenate were added to form the final coating solution. The surface of an iron container was then coated with this solution by dipping. Excesses of the solution were permitted to drain off the metal surface and the remaining amount permitted to dry. The coated container was then baked for 90 minutes in an oven, the temperature of which was gradually increased from 150 to 210 C. The resulting coating was found to be tough and hard, to adhere excellently to the metal, and to resist decomposition by steam, acids, such as hydro'chloric and acetic acids of various concentrations, alcohols, and weak alkalies, such as, 1% sodium hydroxide.
The same coating solution was applied to a steel container and baked in the same manner, after which two additional coats were baked on in the same way over the first coat. Five gallon milk cans coated in this way were put into regular dairy service for a period ofone to two months and were found not to contaminate the milk in any way.
Example 2 100 parts of polylactylic acids, 50 parts of soya bean oil, parts of fumaric acid, and 1 part of activated bauxite granules were dissolved in an excess of xylene-butanol solvent mixture to aid in blending the ingredients and heated under a reflux condenser until the ingredients became blended. The condenser was then removed and the solvent was permittedto boil off. The temperature was increased to about 260 to 270 C. and maintained thereat for about 6 hours. The brown rubbery resin resulting was dissolved in a mixture of 50 parts of xylene and 50 parts of butanol to make a solid content of 30%, filtered, and 0.3% of zinc naphthenate and 0.6% of cobalt naphthenate were added to the solution. The same procedure as explained in Example 2 was followed in baking the resin on an iron surface, and the baked product was tested and found to be resistant against steam, weak alkalies, and alcohols.
Example 3 Same as Example 2, except that linseed oil was used instead of soya bean oil.
Example 4 100 parts of polylactylic acids, 50 parts of castor oil, 5 parts of maleic anhydride, and 1 part of ferric oxide were dissolved in a mixture of xylene and isoamyl alcohol. By gradually heating the mixture to 260 C. the solvent was boiled oil. The mixture was then held at a temperature between 260 and 265 C. and stirred for about 3 hours until the resin became viscous. The resultin resinous composition was dissolved in benzene to make a coating solution. The solution was spread on an iron surface and baked 90 minutes in an oven, the temperature of which was gradually increased from 150 to 210 C.
Example 5 500 parts of polylactylic acids, 500 parts of castor oil, and 2 parts of concentrated sulphuric acid were mixed together and the temperature gradually raised to 260 C. over a period of 2 hours to blend the materials. The temperature was then held between 260 and 280 C. for about 3v hours, with constant stirring. The resulting resinous compound was then dissolved in benzene to make a coating composition containing 30% -01 the resin'by weight. This material was spread Example 6 The same as Example 1, except that ferrous lactate was used instead of activated bauxite granules.
Example 7 The same as Example 1, except that cobalt chloride was used instead of activated bauxite granules.
Example 8 The same as Example 1, except that magnesium I methoxide was used instead of activated bauxite granules.
