Description

DESCRIPTION

PAINT VISIBLE IN ALL SHADES DAY AND NIGHT IN PITCH BLACK

Specific Area of the Invention and State of the Art

This paint can be seen in all shades in pitch-black. Each color can be traced for extended hours in its own shade even in no-light environments. This way, paintings made with this paint shall be visible in all shades in pitch-black and paintings made with this paint emit light with all shades even in environments receiving no light.

Paints currently used are deprived of properties of being visible in environments with no light. Considering their usage areas, phosphor paints in the market are in single shade frequency and do not meet the needs for all colors. And.this narrows the usage of this. phosphor paint produced only in pistachio green color. Besides, phosphor paint known to be; sold in. the market has limited light absorption and reflect, it , back in the dark. It also requires . that the area used by phosphor paints in the market to reflect light to have a white c'olor or a color close to white. One other tiling that is known is applications needing visibility; at night, traffic signs. These signs are sensitive only, to the light coming towards them and, are not visible in no-light pitch-black. .

Technical Problems the Invention Aims to Solve

This invention aims paints visible in all shades in night - pitch black. In state of the art paints, because the visibility feature has a single color frequency, they have limited usage. Particularly because paintings are made on canvas contain different colors, the phosphor paint does not meet the requirements as it has a single shade frequency. With this newly-developed paint, easy visibility feature in all colors and shades in no-light environments is given to the paint. This way, a very wide usage is created with the paint.

However, limited light absorbance and light reflection times in existing paints is also are also increased. Besides, these paints also resist to environmental factors for extended times. , Description of invention

Basic elements forming the structures of for example synthetic based paints that are produced in and sold by factories may be classified as follows:

1- Pigment = Essence

2- Binding Agents = example: linseed oil 3- Solvents - Thinners = example: Synthetic based thimier

4- Chemical aux. mater. = Consistency balancers

1. PIGMENT

Formed of color particles, pigment is the color element of paint. Its functions are: a. Gives paint its color b. Gives the following additional properties.

RESISTANCE:

a) Resistance to Light: Expresses resistance particularly to ultraviolet rays. Losses that may occur in paint chemistry and shade against sunlight shall be minimized. b) Resistance to Temperature: After the paint is applied on a suitable material, it raises the temperature resistance of pigment in case it is exposed to non-normal temperature. Here, when the pigment is applied, for example o metal items, it reduces deformation against high temperature. c) Resistance to Other Chemical Substances: This resistance becomes more important for prints and paintings used particularly packaging industry like alkali or acid. d) Resistance to Solvents: What is meant here are very strong solvents. Because the above mentioned paint is synthetic based, there will be full solution in paint on paint applied to a suitable ground like a cellulose thinner if very strong solvent and at the same time volatile substances are in contact. However, despite water being solvent and volatile, it won't cause debt as cellulose thinner. Contrary to this, in the paint in below-mentioned invention, small amount of sea water and sea salt will be added different from synthetic-based paint in the market. COVERING-OVERLAYING: Pigments bring in and adjust characteristic of covering and overlaying of the space on which paint is to be applied. For example, if you apply oil paint on canvas or synthetic based paint on wooden or on metal surface, dirt rust or other impurities will be covered. .BINDING AGENTS: The primary function of substances as linseed oil is to assign brightness of paint. This substance also increases chemical resistance of paint and determines the space on which pigment particles should be applied.

LINSEED OIL AND GLOSS VARNISH: Linseed oil is produced from linseeds. The gloss varnish is prepared by boiling linseed oil. There are 3 types of gloss varnish produced from linseed oil; Thin, Medium, Thick. Gloss varnish is mixed with essence. Gloss varnish is obtained by 3 methods. a) linseed oil obtained from linseeds b) solvent and resin gloss varnish obtained from petroleum c) gloss obtained from some trees as Chinese tree.

SOLVENTS AND THINNERS: They are used to increase resistance of paint and degree of applicability. Solvents and thinners are added ..to. the paint depending on usage and purpose of paint. This is a chemical liquid helping paint to dry. Solvent added to the paint forms a film on the spread material by evaporating or by absorption during the drying process. • .. ., ^■ . ^■ v.

^" AUXILIARY SUBSTANCES: These are desiccant and; thinner substances added, for example, into synthetic-based paints available in the market. ^: ' ,_;,,

A) AUXILIARY THINNER SUBSTANCES: Amount of thinner added to paint depending on its aim and usage does not change color gradation and influence other characteristics (such as overlaying). B) DESICCANTS: Binding agents are used to assure a proper period of drying and speed up the time of drying. For example, turpentine can be used. Q The objective of this discovery is to obtain paint having the characteristic of visibility in all tones in a dark environment. Therefore following mixture was prepared. In order to create color tones, first powdered dry and colorful ochre and linseed oil are used.

Ochre is available in natural environment. In some places this colorful ochre is kiln-dried by molding in blocks with different size and used in manufacture of products like brick, tile. In addition, colorful soil, also available in natural environment, is used for producing vases and flowerpots with different size through proper processes. In addition to 5 , all these explanations, there were some attempts to make dry and colorful paint, available in its natural environment, convenient for painting by taking this powdered soil in a certain thickness with linseed oil added. However, it was observed that the paint .obtained by mixing these two substances turn into an inappropriate mixture and its efficient usage is limited. Hence, saffron was added in order to make thickness more0 practical and to obtain especially yellow among main colors more consistently.

Economically important organ of saffron is the three sectional stigma of pistil in its blossom. Main substances like crocetin, crocin, picrocrocin and Safranal making saffron important are only present in its stigma. Stigma includes some amount of volatile oil. The most intensive substance in the content of volatile oil is Safranal. Most research focus5 on stigma since it includes substances stated above.

; Usage area of saffron can be grouped in three titles as paint , industry, cosmetics industry, medicine industry and food industry. . .

^: 1) It was widely used in painting works for painting of fabric and carpet thread in the past.

Although its painting capacity is so high (about 100 thousand times of its weight) and it0 gives a nice flaming yellow, its usage for painting has decreased generally since it is a costly substance. Since synthetic paints are much cheaper they have replaced saffron. ^•

2) it is used for perfume production in cosmetics industry.

3) Saffron is used as a cure both in modern medicine and alternative medicine, it has appetitive, expectorant and aphrodisiac effects. It is used for cure of ailments5 like lack of appetite, bronchitis, whooping couch, indigestion, insomnia, impotence. It is also used as bleeding expectorant and for abortion. Saffron is a good stimulant in low doses, increases body temperature in high doses and has an isotoxic effect and causes severe bleeding in very high doses. Lethal dose for human is 10-12 gram. Saffron poisoning is harmful due to the damage it creates especially on kidneys. Saffron is also0 used in researches about cancer in considerable rates. For example, it is stated that some hopeful results were obtained from tests on cavies for some cancer types in cancer researches conducted in United States, Japan, Russia, Spain, France, Romania and England. However the amount of saffron produced in the world is not enough for researches conducted, and also restricts researches and increases research costs , considerably since it is an expensive substance. For that reason, some researches are also conducted for production of saffron in garden frames whole year. 4) Usage of saffron in food industry is so wide in abroad. It is widely used from soup types to meat roasts and meaty dishes, from desserts to pastry and coloring of dried fruits. For example, it can be used as colorant and sweetener in some dishes and desserts; as colorant in dough, pasta, cheese, butter, bologna, salami and sausage; and as colorant and sweetener in cold and hot beverages and even in some drink types. Some books concerning preparation of foods and beverages with saffron have been published in some countries. Prices of saffron foods are higher compare to equivalent types.

On the other hand, saffron usage is not common in our country. Saffron has been used only in zerde, noah's pudding and pilaf all along. Turkish delight manufacturers in Safranbolu have increased delight diversities by adding saffron Turkish delight in other diversities in recent years.

AU these matters stated indicate the considerable economic importance of saffron for nowadays and even the future. Some news about saffron indicating the price of saffron in world market published in national newspapers are given below.

Sabah: (1995) 1 kg of saffron is 60 million liras in world market. Anadolu'nun Sesi: (1996) 1 kg of saffron is 10 thousand dollars in world market. Milliyet: (1996) 1 kg of saffron is 250-300 million liras in domestic market. Gazete Pazar: (1997) 1 kg of saffron is 2 billion liras in domestic market. Hϋrriyet (December 15, 1998); Saffron, is also known as "holy plant" in public because it gives its flowers during the flowering period in October and on the morning of the night connecting Thursday to Friday or Sunday to Monday.

Tϋrkiye (October 21, 2001); the most expensive herb in the world, Saffron is produced only in Safranbolu in Turkey, with kilogram price ranging between 5-6 billions in domestic market, and 13 thousand dollars in the international market. Today, 1 gr Saffron is 6-7 dollars in the Turkish market, in the United States, retail price of one gram of Saffron is 8 dollars. Considering this price, it is seen that 1 gram of Saffron is equal to one gram of gold. Saffron is not sold in market rayons in the United States, and kept in the safe in the market manager's office. The customer wishing to purchase Saffron buys saffron from the manager against cash payment, and credit cards are not accepted as means of payment. Moreover, saffron sale and purchase is made against cash payment in Spain and Greece. To give an example for Saffron export; more that 2% of India's total export incomes is from Saffron and it has the most important role among spices grown in India.

As will be understood from the above explanation, because of the high cost of Saffron and because it is not frequent, it is used in small amounts in the paint visible at night and it is more suitable to use to be able to use more yellow color. Adding sufficient amount of synthetic thinner or synthetic naphtha into the paint made using these materials, it is made a more suitable type of paint. However, because of the consistency and unsuitable density, it reduces productivity in painting. However, although painting ratio is lower, they may be used by the addition of color and salty water obtained by boiling very low cost dry onion peels in sea water. In order to be able to convert consistency to a more productive and handier usage, use of melted wax will ensure that paint in desired consistency will be used in a more productive manner in making paintings. There are various minerals in sea water and sea salt used here and where dry onion peels are boiled. With these, when inventing the paint visible in all shades in no-light environments, it protects this paint and paintings made naturally with this paint from external factors (stain, soot, polluted air, radiation etc) for an extended period. It minimizes cracks and color-shade loses on paintings. Thanks to this, it ensures the color and shades in paint are seen better. Obtained from all these mixtures, this paint, after giving it suitable consistency to do painting, a substance containing very high amount of phosphor and collage, obtained by grinding after drying - freezing operation of concha of sharks in deep and cold waters and used in Scandinavian countries from 1960s particularly to accelerate the process of healing sores is added to protect paint consistency, and to increase light absorption property.

Application of invention on the industry:

The invention aims to give visibility feature in no-light areas and in all shades. This paint can be used in all applications required in no-light areas. With this paint, paintings, signs, patterns, warning signs will be obtained in desired shades seen in pitch black. Again, it can be used in determining the places of objects desired to be shown in dark. It can be used in military applications in determining strategic points as visible at night, and in misleading enemies.
