Definitions
- the present invention relates to an aqueous composition for plasticising or softening paint, varnish and similar coatings (e.g. lacquers) prior to stripping the coating from a surface.
- aqueous composition for plasticising or softening paint, varnish and similar coatings (e.g. lacquers) prior to stripping the coating from a surface.
- Solvent-based compositions are known, for plasticising or softening paint, varnish and similar coatings prior to stripping.
- the composition is applied to the coating, for example by brush application, is then left for a period of time to allow the composition to plasticise or soften the coating to a desired extent, and then the stripping operation is carried out mechanically.
- Such compositions, and the fumes they emit, are generally irritant, smelly and toxic. This necessitates special storage and handling procedures, particularly for commercial use, as well as protective clothing and equipment for users.
- the compositions are liquid at room temperatures, which means that it is difficult for them to work effectively on vertical surfaces .
- Example 1 describes such an aqueous composition, containing a total of 66% by weight dibasic acid esters (dimethyl succinate, dimethyl glutarate and dimethyl adipate) , 2% by weight of an organic thickening agent (cellulose acetobutyrate) and 5% by weight of water, together with additional ingredients such as surfactants.
- dibasic acid esters dimethyl succinate, dimethyl glutarate and dimethyl adipate
- organic thickening agent cellulose acetobutyrate
- surfactants additional ingredients
- EP-A-0294041 describes further aqueous compositions, containing up to about 50% by weight dibasic acid esters, small amounts of thickening agents (clay/cellulose mixtures) and at least about 50% by weight water, together with additional ingredients such as surfactants.
- Such compositions were tested in comparison with a methylene chloride paint stripper (Comparative Example A) and the known composition from DE-A-3438399 (Comparative
- Example B for their ability to remove four layers of paint from a pine board. With the board horizontal
- compositions of EP-A-0294041 do not provide a significant improvement in practical commercial terms. There is a tendency for the compositions to dry out and/or to separate out when left on the surface to be treated, so reducing their effectiveness. In addition, the compositions are not clear enough to be able to see the coating after the composition has been applied, so that it can be difficult to judge when the softening action has proceeded sufficiently.
- EP-A-0407952 describes viscous, pasty or gel-like aqueous compositions, said to be improvements on the compositions of EP-A-0294041, in which the paint-softening "solvents" generally comprise 20 to 60% by weight of the composition, preferably 30 to 45%, the remainder of the composition being an aqueous solution of common surfactants with one or more common thickeners.
- Dibasic esters are generally indicated as possible "solvents", although none is specifically mentioned.
- Laponite RD is exemplified (Examples G, H and I) as an example of a common thickener.
- compositions of EP-A-0407952 do not provide a significant improvement in practical commercial terms.
- the viscosity of the compositions is not particularly high, notwithstanding the rather low water content (about 50% by weight is exemplified) .
- the compositions contain too much organic material, and too many individual organic components, to be feasible from either an environmental or commercial point of view.
- EP-A-0648820 describes further aqueous compositions employing rather low levels of water and high levels of active and carrier organics dispersed in the water by means of surfactants.
- surfactants there are generally mentioned alkylene-oxide (ethylene oxide or propylene oxide) -added type nonionic surface active agents.
- aqueous compositions overcome some of the disadvantages of the former solvent-based compositions, but there nevertheless remains a need for improved or at least alternative aqueous plasticising or softening compositions.
- an aqueous composition which can work at least as well as known methylene chloride strippers, and in which water forms the major portion of the composition.
- an aqueous composition for plasticising or softening paint, varnish and similar coatings prior to stripping the coating from a surface comprising: (a) an effective amount of a non-toxic plasticising/ softening compound or mixture forming an emulsion in the composition;
- composition (b) an effective amount of at least one surfactant to allow the composition to exist as a stable emulsion, the surfactant (s) being selected from nonionic water-soluble block copolymers of more than one alkylene oxide; and
- component (a) forms an emulsion in the composition. It is not necessary for component (a) to be completely insoluble in water, however, provided that the stable emulsion can be maintained. Indeed, as discussed in more detail below, it can be preferred that part of component (a) partitions between the emulsified and aqueous phases.
- stable emulsion refers particularly to an emulsion which is stable with respect to separation into unemulsified phases over a period of time normally required for such a composition, typically a few weeks or months.
- emulsion includes suspensions and dispersions.
- the emulsion unless thickened by a rheology control agent as described below, may sediment on standing, but because of its stability with respect to phase separation will be readily redispersed for use by simple stirring or shaking.
- the compound or mixture of component (a) may be selected from any conventional compounds, particularly organic compounds, capable of plasticising or softening the desired coating. Such compounds are listed extensively in the prior art documents acknowledged above, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. In certain of those disclosures, plasticising /softening compounds are referred to ' as "solvents", by reason of the fact that the act of plasticising or softening a coating can be regarded as a partial dissolution of the coating.
- the compound or mixture of component (a) may be selected from:
- R, R 1 and R 2 which may be the same or different, represent lower alkyl, phenyl or lower alkyl- phenyl groups;
- the compound or mixture of component (a) may be selected from:
- lower alkyl refers in particular to alkyl groups containing up to about 8 carbon atoms, for example methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, s-propyl, n-butyl, s-butyl, t- butyl, pentyl and hexyl groups.
- alkyl groups may optionally be mono- or poly-substituted, for example by one or more substituents selected from halo, nitro, amino, C ⁇ .,, alkylamino, di-C ⁇ ,, alkylamino, hydroxy, C 1-4 alkoxy, carboxy, (C 1-4 alkyl)carbonyl, (C ⁇ alkoxy) - carbonyl, C 2 .
- non-toxic refers to an acceptably low level of toxicity when a compound is present at an effective amount, and not necessarily to a complete absence of toxic effects.
- compounds which have only a temporary toxic effect and do no significant permanent harm will be referred to and understood as “non-toxic” herein.
- Particular toxic effects which are to be avoided in the compositions of the present invention are carcinogenicity, teratogenicity and mutagenicity.
- the compound of formula I forming component (al) of the preferred composition is preferably water-soluble or water-miscible, if necessary with the assistance of solubilising agents, but insoluble or non-miscible compounds may be used provided that they are emulsifiable or suspendible in aqueous solution, if necessary with the assistance of emulsifying and/or suspending agents.
- the carboxylic acid ester forming component (a2) of the preferred composition is preferably a lower alkyl ester of a straight-chain fully or partially saturated C 2 . 20 alkyl mono- or poly-carboxylic acid.
- Particularly preferred esters include alkyl esters of fully or partially saturated straight-chain mono-, di- or tribasic carboxylic acids such as, for example, C 2 , 10 alkanoic, alkanedioic or alkanetrioic acids, more particularly C 2 .
- B alkanoic acids such as acetic acid, C 4 .
- ⁇ alkanedioic acids such as adipic acid (hexanedioic acid) or C 4 . ⁇ alkanetrioic acids.
- Alkyl portions of the ester of component (a2) may optionally be mono- or poly- substituted, for example by one or more substituents selected from halo, nitro, amino, C x . 4 alkylamino, di-C ⁇ ,, alkylamino, hydroxy, C j . 4 alkoxy and C 2-4 alkanoyloxy groups or salt derivatives thereof.
- Particularly preferred esters include dimethyl adipate, triacetin (1,2, 3-propanetriol triacetate) , tri-n-butyl citrate, n- octyl acetate and methyl octanoate.
- the C 4.12 alkanol forming component (a2) of the second preferred composition is preferably a branched C 4 . 10 alkanol, and most preferably an alkan-1-ol having one hydroxyl function and at least one (preferably.one) alkyl side chain at the 2-position.
- a particularly preferred such alkanol is 2-ethyl-l-butanol .
- the component (a2) is typically poorly soluble or non- soluble in the aqueous composition. This component is therefore typically present mainly in the "oil" phase of the emulsion.
- the surfactant component (b) is selected from nonionic water-soluble block copolymers of more than one alkylene oxide.
- Block copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide are particularly suitable, as these can provide a wide range of emulsification and dispersant effects, optionally functioning also as gelling agents.
- Such copolymer surfactants typically have an approximate molecular weight in the range of about 8000 to about
- Such copolymers generally have an HLB value in the range of about 20 to 28, as determined chromatographically.
- Water-soluble Synperonic PE (TM) surfactants ICI, England
- ICI, England e.g. of the F-series (referring to their flake appearance)
- particularly preferred surfactants of component (b) may be mentioned as particularly preferred surfactants of component (b) .
- the surfactant may suitably be used in conjunction with a cosurfactant such as a simple organic alcohol, suitably a C o alkyl alcohol, for example a C 4 . 8 alkanol such as hexan-1-ol.
- a cosurfactant such as a simple organic alcohol, suitably a C o alkyl alcohol, for example a C 4 . 8 alkanol such as hexan-1-ol.
- Cosurfactants improve the strength and stability of the emulsion/suspension produced by the surfactant component (b) , and assist in reducing foaming of the composition.
- the organic components of the composition have a relatively high flash point (i.e. well above normal operating temperatures) . It is also preferred, for convenience, that the organic components of the composition are liquid over the full range of normal operating temperatures.
- Option (a3) of the preferred form described above has been found to provide particular enhanced and unexpected effects. More particularly, a biphasic system of components (al) and (a2) is observed, with a certain degree of partitioning of at least one of the components between a hydrophobic ("oil") phase and the aqueous phase.
- the formation and nature of the biphasic system is dependent on the concentration of components (al) and (a2) present, and the relative water-solubility of the components, but we have found that a strong activity is observed when such a system is maintained in the emulsion.
- an aqueous composition for plasticising or softening paint, varnish and similar coatings prior to stripping the coating from a surface comprising: an aqueous phase including water in an amount sufficient to comprise the major portion of the composition; and an emulsified hydrophobic phase suspended in the aqueous phase, the hydrophobic phase including components (al) and (a2) as defined above.
- components (al) and (a2) are present in such concentrations that they exist in a partitioned state between the hydrophobic and aqueous phases.
- an effective amount of at least one surfactant is present in the composition, to allow the composition to exist as a stable emulsion.
- the partitioning of the components in the biphasic system can readily be maintained when (al) is present at an amount of about 10% by weight of total composition and (a2) is present at between about 4 and 10% by weight of total composition.
- the presence of the partitioned components in the biphasic system is believed to promote the swelling and softening of the coating, while preventing the composition from drying and so allowing the coating to revert to its unsoftened state.
- the surfactant component when present, is preferably, but not essentially, the nonionic water-soluble block copolymer(s) of more than one alkylene oxide, described above.
- a range of possible alternative water-soluble surfactants is listed in the prior art documents acknowledged above, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- the composition be in the form of a thixotropic gel or gel-like paste, which can be easily taken up on a brush and applied to the coating to be treated, whereupon when the brush is removed the composition will re-thicken on the coating, sufficiently to adhere to the coating even against the effect of gravity on a vertical surface. In this way, the composition will readily stay in contact with the coating for a sufficient length of time to allow the plasticising or softening action to proceed to the required extent.
- a conventional rheology control agent (“thickener”) may therefore be incorporated into the composition to provide the thixotropic gel characteristics required.
- a range of rheology control agents is listed in the prior art documents acknowledged above, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- Suitable rheology control agents include synthetic smectic clays composed of layered hydrous magnesium silicate free from crystalline silica.
- An example of such synthetic clay is a synthetic hectorite clay such as Laponite (TM) (Laporte) , which is a rapid- dispersing clear and highly effective gelling agent. Fluorine-free grades of Laponite are preferred. It has been found that the combination of Laponite and the emulsion/suspension confers rheological properties on the composition which produce particularly good brush pick- up, brush application and hold-up without sagging or slumping, even at high film builds.
- the composition may include additional components as desired.
- additional components may include conventional fillers, binders, stabilising agents, colorants and biocides.
- the compositions of the present invention may be prepared by simple admixture. It is preferred that the water and surfactant components are mixed first, before component (a) is added. It is preferred that, where more than one compound is used in component (a) , the less soluble compound(s) is/are added first to the water and any surfactant components, until an emulsion is formed. Then any more soluble compound(s) of component (a) are added, followed by the remainder (if any) of water and any rheology control agent and/or minor additional ingredients.
- Any co-surfactant may be added before or after component (a) , or between different compounds of component (a) . It is preferable to add any cosurfactant before component (a) , as this is found to produce a more stable emulsion.
- the composition is suitably stirred during the mixing.
- the water component comprises the major portion of the composition, i.e. at least about 50% by weight and/or volume, more preferably at least about 55% by weight and/or volume, still more preferably at least about 60% by weight and/or volume, still more preferably at least about 65% by weight and/or volume, still more preferably at least about 70% by weight and/or volume, still more preferably at least about 75% by weight and/or volume and most preferably about 80% by weight and/or volume.
- component (a) the surfactant and any rheology control agent and/or minor additional ingredients mentioned above and as large an amount as possible of water, while still preserving the desired characteristics and properties of the composition.
- Component (a) is suitably present in an amount of up to about 50% by volume of the total composition. More preferably, compounds (al) and (a2) should both be present (a3) , typically in approximately equal volumes, for example each up to about 20% by volume of the total composition, more preferably about 10% by volume of the total composition. When both (al) and (a2) are present the composition has been found to be effective on a particularly wide range of film-forming paints, varnishes and similar coatings.
- the surfactant component is typically present in an amount up to about 5% by weight of the total composition, more preferably about 1 to 2% by weight.
- Minor cosurfactants such as hexanol may suitably comprise up to about 20% by weight of the surfactant component, more preferably about 10% by weight.
- any minor additional components will typically comprise up to about 10% by weight of the composition, more preferably up to about 6% by weight. Where a rheology control agent is present, this will suitably be the predominant additional component, for example up to about 5% by weight of the total composition, more preferably about 4% by weight.
- compositions are excellent for use in commercial dipping tanks where large articles are treated to plasticise or soften the coatings.
- compositions are non-toxic, non-irritant and non-corrosive to humans, so that no or minimal health precautions are required.
- compositions typically maintain their moistness and volume for substantially longer than prior comparison compositions. 4. The compositions typically enable more layers of coatings to be removed, more quickly than prior comparison compositions.
- compositions typically exhibit excellent coating softening performance at room temperature or above, in contrast to many prior compositions which are only effective at elevated temperatures.
- compositions typically do not phase separate when left to stand.
- shelf-life of the compositions of the present invention is excellent. Agitation to redisperse any sedimented material immediately before and/or during use is all that may be required.
- compositions use high levels of water, and are thereby environmentally and economically attractive.
- compositions exhibit a very high low-shear viscosity, typically in excess of 100 Pas at a rheometer shear rate of 1 s "1 .
- compositions exhibit an undisturbed yield stress typically in excess of 100 Pa, indicating a very strong and stable gel.
- compositions are typically thixotropic, shear- thinning to a high degree.
- the low-shear viscosity of over 100 Pas mentioned above declines to 1 Pas at a rheometer shear rate of 100 s "1 and to about 0.2 Pas at a shear rate of 520 s -1 .
- the compositions typically maintain their moistness and clingability on the coating being treated for substantially longer than prior comparison compositions.
- compositions typically enable more layers of coatings to be removed, more quickly and with fewer applications of composition, than prior comparison compositions.
- compositions typically exhibit excellent coating softening performance at room temperature or above, in contrast to many prior compositions which are only effective at elevated temperatures.
- compositions typically do not separate out when left on a coating overnight, in contrast to prior comparison compositions.
- shelf-life of the compositions of the present invention is also substantially extended.
- compositions typically are sufficiently clear that the coating being treated can be seen through the composition, in contrast to prior comparison compositions.
- compositions use high levels of water, and are thereby environmentally and economically attractive.
- compositions of the present invention enable paint, varnish or other coatings of a surface to be plasticised or softened with an acceptably non-toxic aqueous composition, and at an acceptably high speed, leading to significant improvements in stripping efficiency and reduced costs.
- Germaben (TM) (Blagdon Chemicals, England) 5cm 3
- the triethyl phosphate was then added slowly, with stirring, over approximately 10 minutes, followed slowly by the Germaben to produce a white emulsion.
- the emulsion was poured slowly and gently into a second vessel containing the reminder of the water under rapid stirring to create vortex conditions in the water.
- the addition of the emulsion to the second vessel took about 15 minutes, and stirring was continued for a further approximately 15 minutes to produce a good blend.
- DMA dimethyl adipate
- Triacetin (component a2) 100 cm 3
- the triethyl phosphate was then added slowly, with stirring, over approximately 10 minutes, followed slowly by the Germaben to produce a white emulsion.
- the emulsion was poured slowly and gently into a second vessel containing the remainder of the water under rapid stirring to create vortex conditions in the water.
- the addition of the emulsion to the second vessel took about 15 minutes, and stirring was continued for a further approximately 15 minutes to produce a good blend.
- the Laponite RD was added into the vortex of the stirrer. A period of about 15 - 20 minutes was allowed for the addition. Stirring was continued for about 5 to 10 minutes, after which the composition was filled into containers and allowed to thicken to a gel-like paste.
- the Synperonic F127 was added to 133 cm 3 of the water and was stirred until it became dissolved. This solution and the hexan-1-ol were poured into a plastic beaker. A Silverson high shear mixer was set into the fluid and mixing was commenced. The triethyl phosphate and the 2- ethyl-1-butanol were poured in as a gentle stream to give a white emulsion. The remaining 400 cm 3 of water were put into a plastic beaker and the Silverson high shear mixer was transferred to that beaker. Mixing was commenced and the white emulsion was poured in as a gentle stream.
- the Silverson mixer was removed and replaced by a paddle type stirrer. Stirring was rapid, to produce a vortex.
- the Laponite RD was tapped gently onto the stirred surface, and stirring was continued until some initial thickening was observed. The mix was then transferred to a plastic jar.
- the Synperonic F127 was added slowly and with stirring to 200 cm 3 of the water in a vessel, and allowed to fully dissolve.
- the hexan-1-ol was then added.
- a Silverson high shear mixer was set into the fluid and mixing was commenced.
- the 2-ethyl-l-butanol was added slowly during the mixing, followed by the triethyl phosphate.
- the Germaben was then added into the vortex created by the mixer, to form a white, creamy, emulsion.
- the remaining 600 cm 3 of water were put into a second vessel with rapid stirring (using a Silverson high shear mixer) to create a vortex.
- the emulsion previously prepared was poured slowly and gently into the vortex of the water in the second vessel during the stirring.
- the Silverson mixer was removed and replaced by a paddle type stirrer. Stirring was continued with the paddle stirrer, sufficiently to ensure good mixing.
- the finished product will sediment on standing but will not phase separate. The sedimentation can be readily redispersed in the fluid for use, by simple stirring.
- the instrument used was a Bohlin CS Rheometer. This is a computer controlled, thermostatted, controlled stress instrument and is capable of carrying out a wide range of rheological measurements.
- the rheometer was fitted with a vane. This was dipped directly into a beaker containing the composition. This gelled composition had been covered, with two layers of Clingfilm (R) (thin polyvinyl chloride film) , and undisturbed since it was made 24 hours previously.
- Clingfilm thin polyvinyl chloride film
- the yield stress was determined by incrementally increasing the stress applied to the sample. The stress was applied for 2 seconds the sample allowed to recover for 20 seconds. The yield stress was taken, as the stress beyond which the resulting deformation was no longer fully recovered.
- the composition had a yield stress in the range 115 to 120 Pa. This is the yield stress for the undisturbed gel. It should be noted that the gel is thixotropic and, as such, the yield stress measured once the sample has been subjected to shearing will be lower and depend upon the time allowed for the gel to recover.
- the viscosity of a number of samples of the composition was measured on the Bohlin CS rheometer.
- the material shear thins to a high degree.
- the viscosity decreases from about 160 Pas at a shear rate of 0.3 s '1 to about 0.2 Pas at a shear rate of 520 s "1 .
- the comparison composition was the commercially available "3M STRIPPER" composition, which is an aqueous-based stripper using dibasic esters, and is believed to be in accordance with EP-A-0294041.
- Example 2 Painted door with approximately 6-8 coats of paint. Both the composition of Example 2 (code letters: KS) and the comparison composition (code letters: 3M) were applied at midday and were left overnight.
- KS Sample 4 Stripped back to bare wood.
- 3M Completely dried out overnight but had removed 2 coats of paint. The door needed a further 2 applications before reaching bare wood. Separation of 3M product was noted after the overnight treatment .
- KS Samples 2 and 3 were prepared as described above. Sample 4 was prepared with faster stirring and the hexan-1-ol added before the DMA.
- KS Sample Removed 3 coats after 40 minutes and the remaining two coats after a further 40 minutes back to bare wood.
- 3M Removed 2 coats after 40 minutes and after a further 40 minutes not back to wood. A further two applications were required to achieve bare wood.
