Definitions
- This invention 1 elates to the continuous application of organic polymeric compositions to moving substrate surfaces to form a thin coating of the composition on the surface. If the coating remains on the substrate surface to which it is applied and is caused oi allowed to harden or set, the process may be gene ⁇ cally referred to as painting the substrate surface
- the invention is directed towaids the continuous painting of moving metal, for example steel, strip in the context of an industrial production line for producing painted stock material in lai ge quantities
- a thin layer of liquid paint composition for example pigmented organic polymeric particles and filler particles dispersed or dissolved in a liquid solvent
- the formation of the liquid layei on the strip may be effected in various ways, for example by dipping the strip into a bath of the paint composition followed by stripping surplus composition from the strip, spraying the paint composition onto the strip or by contacting the strip with a roller laden with the paint composition.
- Such piocesses do have the advantage that the tendency of the low viscosity liquid layer to flow before solidifying and the effect of suiface tension tend to flatten the surface of the liquid layer lesulting in an attractive smooth suiface on the finished painted product
- An object of the present invention is to provide a thin paint coat on a substrate surface, by a continuous coating procedure utilising high solids, organic polymeric paint compositions, having a smoother surface than has been attainable by such procedures hitherto.
- a high solids composition may be defined as one having a so-called volume solids of at least 80 percent, preferably more than 95 percent.
- volume solids is a reference to the volume of the solids in the composition expressed as a percentage of the volume of the total composition.
- the invention attains that object by the selection of parameters controlling the operation of methods of the kind described
- the invention consists in a method of pioviding a paint coat of an organic polymeric paint composition on a moving substrate surface, of the kind comprising establishing a quantity of the paint composition, in a high solids form at a temperatuie such that it is spreadable, in a nip defined by the substrate surface and a smoothing roll to enable paint from the established quantity to pass thiough the nip as a paint layer on the substrate surface, wheiein the smoothing l oil has a surface roughness coefficient (usually lefened to by the symbol R d ) of no more than 1 5, and wheiein the maximum surface speed of the smoothing loll expressed as a percentage of the substrate speed beais a linear relationship to the substrate speed, such that the surface speed of the smoothing roll is no more than 1.2 percent of the substrate speed at an exemplary low substrate speed of 15 metres per minute and no more than 12 percent of the substrate speed at an exemplary substrate speed of 150 meties per minute.
- the R is no moie than 0 8
- sui face loughness coefficient or R a is a term of art defined, with leference to a sectional piofile oi a sui face, as the ai ithmetic mean of the depaiture distances of the peaks and troughs of the piofile from the mean line of the profile, expressed in micrometies
- the smallei is the value of R a then the smoothei is the surface
- Foi pieference the direction of movement of the suiface of the smoothing loll at the nip is the same as that of the substrate It will be noted that the invention includes within its ambit the instance of a stationaiy smoothing roll having zeio suiface speed and instances wherein the direction of movement of the smoothing i oil surface is opposite to that of the substrate
- Figure 1 is a diagrammatic longitudinal sectional elevation of an apparatus whereby the method of the invention may be performed.
- Figure 2 is a view similar to figure 1 of a second apparatus whereby the method of the invention may be performed
- Figure 3 is a graph representing the relationship between substrate speed and the maximum surface speed of the smoothing roll over a range of substrate speeds including the exemplary substrate speed values referred to in the definition of the method of the invention. It should be noted that figures 1 and 2 aie explanatoiy diagrams rathei than repiesentational views of actual apparatus. They are not to scale In particular the rolls aie diminished in size and thus display much smaller ladn of curvatuie than they would have in reality and the thicknesses of the paint layers are greatly enlarged
- the apparatus lllustiated by figure 1 is adapted for carrying out the method of the invention in instances where the surface to be painted is itself the substrate surface
- That apparatus comprises a smoothing roll 3 forming a nip with a moving substrate metal strip 4 to be painted
- the roll 3 and strip 4 are caused to move by conventional means in the directions of the arrows appearing thereon
- the smoothing roll is preferably furnished with at least a surface layer of elastomeric material
- roll 3 may comprise a surface layer of a heat resistant sihcone rubber upon a steel core
- the elastomeric surface of the smoothing roll is relatively hard, foi example it may have a Shore A hardness of from 35 to 90
- the smoothing I oil 3 is a very smooth loll, with an R d of no more than 1.5, with a preferred value, having legard to the difficulty and expense of obtaining very smooth surfaces, of 0.8
- a back-up loll (not shown) is provided on the opposite side of the strip from the smooth
- a relatively rough surfaced layei 5 of a high solids organic polymenc paint composition is deposited on the strip 4 at a position upstream of the nip between it and the roll 3
- the deposition of the layer 5 may be effected by any conventional means
- the deposition rate is adjusted to suit the desired usage rate, having regaid to the strip speed and the desired thickness of the finished paint coat on the strip, so as to avoid excessive spillage or overflow at the smoothing station Nevertheless a small reserve quantity 6 of paint composition is pieferably established immediately upstream of the nip
- the reserve quantity may be established by direct deposit into the nip or by deposit onto the smoothing roll for transfer thereby into the reserve quantity.
- the paint composition is deposited directly in the nip oi is deposited directly into a pool of point composition established in the nip Having passed through the nip, the paint composition emerges as two streams, namely a smooth surfaced, still fluid, paint coat 7 carried away on the strip 4 and a thin film 8 carried away on the suiface of the roll 3 and returned by it to the lesei ve quantity 6
- the paint coat 7 may have a thickness of from 10 to 60 crometres, pieferably from 12 to 25 micrometres.
- the strip speed may typically be within the range of from 15 to 120 metres per minute
- the surface speed of the roll 3 is no more than 1.2 percent of the substrate surface speed oi 15 meties per minute, rising to no more than 9 6 percent of the substrate speed at 120 meties per minute
- the actual suiface speed of the roll in any instance would be less than those maxima and may be zeio
- the film 8 is so thin that it constitutes a boundary layer that moves through the nip at substantially the constant speed of the smoothing roll surface Furthermoie the layer 7 of paint composition on the strip is earned away fiom the nip at the relatively high speed of the strip Thus it is suggested that the bulk of the paint composition travels thiough the nip at or very near the speed of the strip It follows that a very high shear strain is produced in a very thin layer of the composition identified by the broken line shown within the reserve quantity 6.
- Table 1 results of a numbei of such tests aie listed in Table 1 below
- the data, operational conditions and results recorded in Table 1 do not necessanly represent optimum production parameters that would be used commercially Rather, the examples of Table 1 were designed to illustrate the scope and iange of the pai ameters identified in the invention. Furthermore, production line availability meant that the number of examples at high strip speed was limited. Table 1 also includes examples that fall within the present invention, being Sample
- Samples rated 4 or 5 have smoothing roll Ra or speed parameters outside claim scope.
- Figure 2 illustrates apparatus for effecting the method of the invention wherein the substrate surface on which the paint coat is formed is the surface of a rubber coated transfer roll 9 whereby the coat is transferred to a moving strip 4 on which it is caused or allowed to set to constitute the finished painted product.
- the remaining components in figuie 2 bear reference numerals corresponding to those on corresponding components of the figure 1 embodiment and are not further described herein.
- the smoothing roll 3 of this embodiment may be a steel roll or a very hard rubber surfaced roll
