Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to photocatalytic coating compositions wherein photocatalytic titanium dioxide particles are combined with binders, extenders, and further ingredients, the compositions being effective to form coatings exhibiting photocatalytic activity and improved durability.
- Titanium dioxide has long been used in coating compositions as a pigment and, more recently, has been used in a photocatalytic form to provide coatings capable of catalyzing reactions wherein various pollutants may be removed from air. More specifically, when coatings containing photocatalytic titanium dioxide are subjected to ultraviolet (UV) and near-UV radiation, electrons from the valence band are promoted to the conduction band. This begins a cascade effect wherein hydroxyl radicals and superoxide radicals are formed, such radicals being effective to degrade oxides of nitrogen (or NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Coatings including photocatalytic titanium dioxide are thus useful for removing pollutants from the air. Further, because various organic materials (grease, mildew, mold, algae, etc.) may also be oxidized at the surface of such coatings, the coatings may also have the advantage of being self-cleaning.
- UV ultraviolet
- near-UV radiation electrons from the valence band are promoted to the conduction band. This begins a cascade effect wherein
- nitric and nitrous acids One effect of the oxidation of NOx compounds utilizing coatings with photocatalytic titanium dioxide is the formation of nitric and nitrous acids.
- various alkaline fillers or extenders have been included for the purpose of neutralizing the acidic materials to form nitrites and nitrates.
- the most commonly used extender is calcium carbonate, and it has typically been recognized that calcium carbonate is a necessary ingredient for coating compositions that include photocatalytic titanium dioxide.
- coating compositions that comprise photocatalytic titanium dioxide typically include different types of organic binders. Because of the photocatalytic reactions due to the presence of the titanium dioxide, many types of binders are subject to degradation. To address this problem, photocatalytic coating compositions are typically formulated with binder systems based on siloxane polymers and/or styrene polymers because of increased stability of these materials in the presence of active species produced from photocatalytic reactions.
- Coating compositions with photocatalytic titanium dioxide are known in the art, e.g. those described in U.S. Patent 9,358,502. However, while these coating compositions have the desired activity against pollutants such as NO*, the total percentage by volume of all pigments in the composition (PVC value) is fairly high.
- any new photocatalytic coating composition would also contribute to sustainability by extending the life of the coating composition and reducing the need for multiple applications.
- the present disclosure relates to coating compositions that are photocatalytic and thus can provide beneficial uses, such as odor reduction, NOx reduction, de-pollution, indoor air quality improvement, and self-cleaning.
- the coating compositions can be formulated using various combinations of binders, extenders, and pigments that can reduce ⁇ eliminate reliance upon higher cost materials, such as styrene and/or siioxane materials, and that improve durability by reducing or eliminating the need for alkaline extenders, such as calcium carbonate. (For the purposes of this application, an extender does not include titanium dioxide).
- Such ends may be achieved without substantial reduction in photoactivity of coatings formed from the coating compositions, even when the coatings have a pigment volume concentration that is significantly lower than previously believed to be possible.
- the present disclosure can provide a coating composition comprising: photocatalytic titanium dioxide; a binder including an acrylic binder; and an extender.

- the coating composition further can comprise: 1% to 50% by weight of a pigment
- the present disclosure provides coating compositions that include photocatalytic titanium dioxide in combination with one or more binders, extenders, and further formulation ingredients.
- the coating compositions are formed with specific combinations of materials that provide desirable properties such that coatings made from the compositions provide photoactivity and high durability while also maintaining a matte finish.
- the compositions beneficially may be prepared at reduced cost compared to known coating compositions because the specific combinations of ingredients can substantially exclude the use of higher cost materials that have previously been believed to be necessary in forming effective, photocatalytic coating compositions.
- the coating compositions when applied to a substrate, can produce coatings that are effective to remove NOx from the environment and neutralize acidic by-products from the photocatalytic oxidation of NOx substances.
- the so-formed coatings can further be effective for odor reduction, de-pollution, indoor air quality improvement, and/or exhibiting self-cleaning attributes.
- NOx is intended to refer to all species of oxides of nitrogen, including NO (nitrogen oxide) and N0 2 (nitrogen dioxide), either collectively or individually.

- a coating composition according to the present disclosure can comprise at least photocatalytic titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ), a binder including an acrylic binder, and an extender.
- the coating compositions can include one or more further materials.
- one or more materials that are known to be useful in photocatalytic coating compositions may be substantially or completely excluded from the present compositions.

- the titanium dioxide may not necessarily be limited by specific properties, such as being specifically in the rutile form or anatase form.
- At least a portion of any titanium dioxide present in the coating compositions should be in the form of titanium dioxide particles that are photocatalytic and thus are capable of forming electron-hole pairs at least in the presence of electromagnetic radiation in the ultraviolet (UV), near-UV, and/or visible range.
- the titanium dioxide may have a rutile or anatase crystalline structure
- predominately is intended to mean that greater than 50% by weight of the photocatalytic titanium dioxide particles in the coating composition are in the anatase form. In one or more embodiments, 75% or greater, 90% or greater, 95% or greater, or 99% or greater (by weight) of the photocatalytic titanium dioxide is in the anatase form.

- the photocatalytic titanium dioxide used in the present coating compositions can be characterized, in some embodiments, by mean size.
- the photocatalytic titanium dioxide used in the present coating compositions can be substantially in the form of agglomerates of nano-sized particles.
- Such agglomerates can have a mean size in the range of 0.1 ⁇ to 8 ⁇ , 0.2 ⁇ to 6 ⁇ , 0.5 ⁇ to 5 ⁇ , 0.6 ⁇ to 4 ⁇ , about 0.7 ⁇ m to 3 ⁇ , or 0.8 ⁇ to 2 ⁇ .
- the agglomerate size range can be achieved, for example, by grinding larger agglomerates of the particles in a disperser, such as the DISPERMAT ⁇ line available from BYK-Gardner.
- one photocatalytic titanium dioxide material PC105 (available from Cristal), was ground to a mean size of 1.1 ⁇ after 15 minutes of grinding with a cowls blade on a DISPERMAT ⁇ disperser running at 5,000 rpm.
- Another photocatalytic titanium dioxide material PC500 (available from Cristal and also known as CristalACTiVTM), was ground to a mean size of 1.3 ⁇ m under the same conditions.
- Mean size can be determined by, for example, sonication followed by sample testing via laser diffraction particle analyzer, such as a Malvern Mastersizer 2000.
- PC 105 and PC500 are both examples of photocatalytic titanium dioxide that may be suitable for use in the presently disclosed coating compositions.
- Individual particles in the agglomerates can have a mean particle size that is less than 100 nm, less than 50 nm, less than 20 nm, or less than 10 nm, such as 2 nm to 50 nm, 3 nm to 40 nm, or 5 nm to 30 nm.
- Photocatalytic titanium dioxide useful according to the present disclosure preferably exhibits a substantially high surface area.
- the titanium dioxide particles used in the present coating compositions will exhibit a crystalline structure with a mean pore sizes in the nanometer range - e.g., 1 nm to 150 nm, 2 nm to 100 nm, 3 nm to 75 nm, 4 nm to 50 nm, or 5 nm to 40 nm.
- Particle characteristics on the nanometer scale may be measured, for example, using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) or X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques.
- TEM transmission electron microscopy
- XRD X-ray diffraction
- the particles may still exhibit significantly high surface areas - e.g., 30 m 2 /g or greater.
- the surface area of the photocatalytic titanium dioxide can be 50 m 2 /g or greater, 100 m 2 /g or greater, 200 m 2 /g or greater, or 250 m 2 /g or greater. More particularly, surface area of the particles can be 50 m 2 /g to 500 m 2 /g, 100 m 2 /g to 450 m 2 /g, or 150 m 2 /g to 400 mVg.
- photocatalytic coating compositions can include 0.5% or greater, 1% or greater, or 2% or greater of photocatalytic titanium dioxide, said weight being based on the total weight of the coating composition. More particularly, the photocatalytic titanium dioxide can comprise 0.5% to 12% by weight, 1 % to 10% by weight, 1.5% to 9% by weight, or 2% to 8% by weight of the coating composition.
- the coating compositions of the present disclosure may further comprise one or more pigments.
- a ""pigment” is intended to encompass particulate materials that impart color (including white) to the coating composition and which thus may be referred to as colorants.
- a pigment can also encompass materials that may be commonly referred to as "opacifying agents.”
- a pigment thus may be organic or inorganic compound in particulate form that is adapted to cause a coating formed from the coating composition to be non-transparent or less transparent, which ability may be referred to as hiding power.
- the present coating compositions particularly may include pigmentary titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ).
- Pigmentary TiO z may be distinguished from photocatalytic titanium dioxide in relation to the hiding power of the material.
- photocatalytic titanium dioxide may provide some level of hiding power, it is to be expected that pigmentary TiO 2 will provide significantly greater hiding power.
- Such difference may relate, at least in part, to the particle size of the titanium dioxide and/or the crystalline structure of the material.
- Pigmentary TiO 2 is substantially non-photocatalytic in nature.
- pigmentary TiO 2 may be predominately, substantially, or completely in the rutile form.

- TiO 2 pigmentary grade TiO 2 examples include TIONATM 595 and TIONATM 596, both of which are available from Cristal.
- pigmentary TiO 2 Another means of distinguishing between photocatalytic titanium dioxide and pigmentary TiO 2 is that the former is not surface treated while the latter is surface treated.
- the surface of pigmentary TiO 2 may comprise a surface treatment of alumina, silica, or the like as a passivating layer.
- the coating compositions of the present disclosure can be defined in relation to the pigment volume concentration (PVC) of the compositions.
- PVC defines the percent by volume of pigment in a coating and thus quantifies the volume of pigment in a coating relative to the total volume of all solids in the coating.
- the pigment volume includes the volumes of all pigments, photocatalytic titanium dioxide, and extenders present in the coating, and the total solids volume will include binder solids as well.
- Critical pigment volume concentration (CPVC) is understood to mean the pigment volume concentration at which there is just enough binder to wet the pigment particles. Thus, below the CPVC, there is excess binder and, above the CPVC, there is just sufficient binder to wet all pigment particles.
- the present coating compositions in light of the specific combinations of materials utilized, can beneficially provide photocatalytic coatings with a lower PVC than typically recognized as being necessary in the art.
- a higher PVC is necessary to provide a coating with a porous surface and thus increase photoactivity.
- photoactivity can be maintained in coatings having a PVC that is 60 or less, 55 or less, or 50 or less.
- coatings formed according to the present disclosure can have a PVC of 20 to 60, 25 to 55, or 30 to 50. If desired, higher PVC values can be utilized; however, the ability to achieve photocatalytic coatings with a lower PVC can be beneficial to reduce overall cost by reducing the amount of TiO 2 used.
- Coating compositions according to the present disclosure also include one or more binders.
- the binder includes organic polymers.
- the binder is an acrylic/acrylate polymer binder which may optionally be acrylic/acrylate copolymers (except for copolymers with styrene),

- the organic binder may also be in nanoparticle size (e.g. nanoparticle acrylate polymer).
- nanoparticle size e.g. nanoparticle acrylate polymer.
- presently disclosed coating compositions can provide desired levels of photoactivity without the limitation of including styrene-containing materials or siloxane-containing materials.
- the present coating compositions may be defined in relation to being substantially free of any styrene-containing material, such as styrene acrylic polymers.
- the present coating compositions may be defined in relation to being substantially free of any siloxane-containing materials, such as polysiloxanes.
- being substantially free of styrene-containing materials or siloxane- containing materials binders can mean that the coating composition comprises less than 2% by weight, less than I % by weight, less than 0,5% by weight, or less than 0.1 % by weight of such binders.
- the present coating compositions may be completely free of any styrene-based material (including vinyl styrene polymers) and/or may be completely free of any siloxane-based material (including polysiloxanes).
- the coating compositions may further be characterized in that no non-acrylic binder is present.
- the binder of the coating compositions may comprise 100% of an aery late polymer binder.
- Completely free refers to not separately adding a styrene-based or siloxane-based material to the coating composition of the invention. Completely free also recognizes that it is possible that insignificant trace amounts of styrene-based or siloxane-based material could inadvertently find their way into the coating composition as an impurity of another compound used in the process to make the coating compositions of the invention.
- testing was carried out to evaluate the effect of binder choice on photoactivity for coatings.
- the testing showed that coating compositions using acrylic binders yielded coatings with photoactivity that was equal to or better than previous technologies using only styrene and siloxane systems.
- the test is described in Example 1, and the test results are shown in TABLE 1A which shows that the desired levels of photoactivity can be maintained even when using 100% acrylic binder systems when completely free of styrene and/or siloxane materials.
- the total concentration of binders used in the present coating compositions can be in the range of 5% to 60% by weight.
- the coating compositions can comprise 10% to 50% by weight, 12% to 40% by weight, or 15% to 35% by weight.
- Coating compositions according to the present disclosure also include one or more extenders.
- an "extender” or “filler” can be an inorganic material or a mixture of inorganic materials that have refractive indices similar to the medium of the coating so that they are usually transparent in the coating medium below the critical pigment volume concentration but have significant opacity (although lower than titanium dioxide) above the critical pigment volume concentration.
- the extender materials are typically lower in cost than the pigments, including titanium dioxide, and allow for the replacement of some of the pigment in certain situations.
- Extenders or fillers can be effective to thicken coating films and/or support the structure of the coating composition. Some extenders may also provide hiding power and function as pigments, particularly above the critical pigment volume concentration. Extenders typically are color neutral. Extenders that have commonly been used in coating compositions and may be used according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure include clays (e.g., kaolin clays and China clays), talcs, quartz, barites (e.g., barium sulfate), and carbonate salts (e.g., calcium carbonate, zinc carbonate, magnesium carbonate), or mixtures thereof.
- clays e.g., kaolin clays and China clays
- talcs e.g., quartz, barites (e.g., barium sulfate)
- carbonate salts e.g., calcium carbonate, zinc carbonate, magnesium carbonate
- a key element of certain extenders in previously known photocatalytic coating compositions is alkalinity in that they can be used to neutralize acidic species (e.g., nitric and nitrous acid) that are formed from the photocatalytic oxidation of NOx.
- acidic species e.g., nitric and nitrous acid
- the nitrites and nitrate salts formed from the neutralization of nitric and nitrous acids are dissolved and removed from the coating upon contact with water.
- Carbonate salts, and particularly calcium carbonate have previously been believed to be required for effective photocatalytic coating compositions for this reason. It has been found according to the present disclosure, however, that alternate extenders and/or pigments may be used to arrive at coating compositions that are substantially free of calcium carbonate and/or carbonate salts in general.
- substantially free indicates that the coating composition comprises less than 2% by weight, less than 1 % by weight, less than 0.5% by weight, or less than 0.1% by weight of the carbonate salt.
- the coating compositions (and thus the formed coatings) can be completely free of calcium carbonate and may be completely free of any carbonate salt.
- compositions can exhibit increased durability, such as shown in
- Example 9 below. Moreover, as discussed in Example 7 below, the complete absence of calcium carbonate from coating compositions does not prevent coatings formed therewith from still exhibiting desired photoactivity.
- the extenders for the present coating compositions can include silicon dioxide, diatomaceous earth, silicates, and combinations thereof.
- the extender is diatomaceous earth or silicon dioxide,
- the total concentration of extenders used in the present coating compositions can be in the range of 1% to 50% by weight.

- choice of dispersant can relate to the type of photocatalytic material that is used.
- dispersants that can be particularly useful in coating compositions include photocatalytic titanium dioxide include hydrophilic copolymers, such as those sold under the name TAMOLTM 1 124 by Dow Chemical and sodium polyacrylates dispersants such as those sold under the name DISPEX® N40 by BASF, Dispersants can be beneficial to decrease the overall viscosity of the coating composition.
- the total amount of dispersant that may be included in coating compositions according to embodiments of the present disclosure can be 0.05% to 3% by weight, 0.1% to 2% by weight, or 0.2% by weight to 1.5% by weight based on the total weight of the coating composition.
- the addition of a thickener to the coating composition can provide notable improvements.
- clay extenders have previously been included in photocatalytic coating compositions because of the ability to impart stability to the composition during storage.
- coating compositions according to the present disclosure can be substantially free of clay or can be completely free of clay.
- being substantially free of clay can mean that the coating composition comprises less than 2% by weight, less than 1 % by weight, less than 0.5% by weight, or less than 0.1 % by weight of such binders.
- Completely free of clay refers to not separately adding clay to the coating composition of the invention. Completely free also recognizes that it is possible that insignificant trace amounts of clay could inadvertently find their way into the coating composition as an impurity of another compound used in the process to make the coating compositions of the invention,
- cellulosic materials e.g., hydroxyethylcellulose
- the inclusion of cellulosic materials can reduce or eliminate the need for any clay for storage stability.

- compositions were formed using, separately, a 100% acrylic binder, a styrene acrylic binder, a vinyl acetate ethylene binder, a nanoparticle acrylic binder, or a vinyl acrylic binder.
- the composition components are provided in TABLE 1 with relative quantities being provided in weight (grams).
- the coating compositions were prepared in two parts (Part A and Part B in TABLE 1).

The level of photoactivity is monitored by measuring the L* (brightness) and b* value (blue/yellow) - referring to the CIELAB system. The difference in L* and b* between the unexposed and exposed test results is a measure of photoactivity.
- the prepared coatings were exposed to 340 nm UV light in a QUV* (by Q-Lab) accelerated weathering chamber for 24 hours. (Additional test details given in Example 3) Test results are shown in TABLE 1 A below.
- compositions as shown in TABLE 2 were prepared using the method described in Example 1. Each of compositions in TABLE 2 differed only in relation to the polymer binder system that was utilized. The compositions were all 65PVC paints, and all of the compositions included calcium carbonate as an extender. The composition components in TABLE 2 are given in weight (grams). TABLE 2
- Coatings were formed utilizing each of the compositions prepared according to Example 2 and evaluated for percent photoactivity with the methylene blue test.
- the test is based on the recognition in the art that photocatalytic oxidation of methylene blue (MB) under UV light irradiation can be used to demonstrate the photoactivity of a composition containing a photocatalytic TiO 2 .
- MB methylene blue
- MB solution (1 % Methylene Blue Solution available from Fisher Scientific) was weighed into a lined half pint paint can. To the MB solution was added 100 grams of the respective composition to be tested. The can containing the composition containing MB was mixed for 5 minutes on a paint shaker, and composition was then allowed to rest for 15 minutes. On the coated side of white Byko-charts (available from BYK-Gardner USA), the rested composition containing the MB solution was drawn down directly next to a standard composition (the respective composition being tested but containing no MB solution) with a 2 mil bird bar. The chart was placed in a constant humidity cabinet overnight for drying.
- the color data (L*, a*, b*) of the composition was then measured.
- Equipment used for this testing was a Datacolor 600 Spectrophotometer- illuminant D65 observer 10° - 20mm aperture, specular excluded, 0% UV filter.
- the charts with the respective coatings were then irradiated in a QUV Accelerated Weathering Tester for 8 hour increments at 1.3 W/m 2 /nm using a UVA-340 bulb.
- initial white is the color data of the respective composition containing no MB.
- Initial blue is the color data of the respective composition containing the MB solution, and +8hrs is the color data of the respective composition containing the MB solution at each 8 hour increment of exposure.
- the percent photoactivity after 16 hours or exposure for each composition from TABLE 2 is provided below in TABLE 3.
- composition 8 percent photoactivity was not significantly impacted by utilizing all acrylic or vinyl acrylic polymer systems (Compositions 6 and 7, respectively) instead of a styrene containing polymer system, as in Composition 8.
- Example 3 The two compositions were tested for % photoactivity using method as described in Example 3. The durability was tested in accordance with ASTM method D4214-07 where the TNO chalking scale was applied. Briefly, coatings were formed on test panels and, after completing 152 hours of exposure, clear adhesive tape was applied to the test panels. The tape was then rubbed 10 times with moderate pressure to remove all air bubbles. The tape was then removed and adhered to black paper to determine the amount of chalking. The most severe chalking would be given a TNO rating of 10, whereas a coating that had no visible chalking present would be scored a 0. The results from both tests are provided in TABLE 5. TABLE 5
- compositions were made with varying types and concentrations of extenders.
- the compositions were 45PVC and were made with a vinyl acrylic polymer system.
- the compositions were 5% photocatalytic material by pigment weight.
- Composition 1 1 contained no calcium carbonate
- composition 12 contained 10% calcium carbonate by pigment weight
- composition 13 contained 20% mica by pigment weight.
- the mica used was a phyllosilicate mineral available from Imerys Performance materials.
- the compositions were made following the method previously discussed in Example 1, and composition component quantities are provided in Table 6, wherein values are shown as weight in grams.
- compositions 1 1 , 12, and 13 from Example 5 were tested for percent photoactivity and durability using the methods described in Examples 3 and 4. TABLE 7 show the results. TABLE 7
- composition 12 decreased the photoactivity in the vinyl acrylic polymer system.
- mica in composition 13 also reduced photoactivity. This demonstrated that polymer system and extender combinations can impact performance of the coating.
- compositions were prepared for use in evaluating effect of the choice of materials as well as PVC in performance as photocatalytic paint films.
- the composition components are provided in Table 8 with the relative quantities being provided in weight (grams)
- the coating compositions were prepared in two parts (Part A and Part B in TABLE 8).
- Part A The ingredients in Part A were combined and mixed together in a high shear mixer for 15 minutes at 4000 rpm.
- the ingredients in Part B were then added to the Part A mixture sequentially as listed in TABLE 8 while mixing at 500 rpm.
- the combined mixture with all ingredients was then mixed at 500 rpm for an additional 5 minutes.
- Composition 14 was a 45PVC coating that was 16% by weight extenders, 6% by weight pigmentary TiO 2 , and 5% by weight photocatalytic TiO 2 .
- Composition 15 was also a 45PVC coating that was 5% by weight extender, 21 % by weight pigmentary TiO 2 , and 3% by weight photocatalytic TiO 2 .
- Composition 16 was a 72.5PVC paint that was 24% by weight extender, 12% by weight pigmentary TiO 2 , and 8% by weight photocatalytic TiO 2 .
- coating compositions for forming photocatalytic films have typically required a high PVC (e.g., above the CPVC) to provide high porosity in the paint film.
- PVC e.g., above the CPVC
- lowering the PVC below the CPVC increases the gloss of the paint film and decreases the porosity, which should adversely affect photoactivity of the paint film.
- extender agents e.g., diatomaceous earth, silicon dioxide
- Coatings were prepared from each of the photocatalytic coatings compositions 14-16 from Example 7.
- the formed coating samples were aged for eight weeks prior to testing, For testing, the coating samples were placed in an air-tight sample chamber and sealed.
- the sample chamber was in communication with a three channel gas mixer (Brooks Instruments, Holland) through which NO (nitric oxide) was introduced into the chamber along with compressed air containing water vapor, the NO, air, and water vapor being provided at predetermined levels.
- the samples were irradiated with 8 W/m 2 UV radiation in the range of 300 to 400 nm from a UV Lamp Model VL-6LM 365 & 312 nanometer wavelengths (BDH).
- NOx concentration readings were taken without applied light to obtain an initial value and then again after five minutes of applied light to evaluate the reduction of NOx under the photocatalytic conditions.
- NOx concentrations were measured with a Nitrogen Oxides Analyzer Model ML9841B (Monitor Europe) connected to the sample chamber.
- the percent reduction in NOx was measured as ( ⁇ NO x /Initial NO x ) x100, wherein ⁇ NO x is difference between the sum of NO and N0 2 values measured under dark conditions (i.e., the Initial NO x value) and the sum of the NO and N0 2 values measured while exposed to the light conditions.
- the results are summarized in TABLE 9.
- the NO x removal was still acceptable even in the compositions having less photocatalytic TiO 2 by weight. Acceptable NO x removal was also possible despite the complete absence of calcium carbonate and despite the fact that the compositions were formulated with lower pigment volume concentrations.
- A (adjusted % NO x removal/adjusted PVC value) where A is a function of desiring to increase % NO x while decreasing the PVC value (the amount of TiO 2 used).
- the highest values in the Example 8 data set are normalized to 1 and all other data are adjust accordingly which results of the adjusted data depicted in Table 9A below:
- the testing method used accelerated weathering of 20 to 50 micron thick paint films formed from each of the compositions from Example 8 on a stainless steel substrate in a Ci65A Weatherometer (Atlas Electric Devices, Chicago) under a 6.5kW Xenon source emitting 550 W/m 2 UV at 340 nm.
- the black panel temperature in the Weatherometer was 63°C, and water spray was applied to the coatings during the accelerated weathering for a duration of 18 minutes out of every 120 minutes. No dark cycle was provided during the testing.
- the durability was measured as a function of the weight loss of the film sample (i.e., film weight before exposure versus film weight after exposure). Coatings produced from each of compositions 14-16 from Example 8 above were exposed under the conditions described above for 2800 hours, and the weight loss of each sample after testing was determined. The durability testing results are summarized in TABLE 10.
- Composition 14 exhibited a 230% (3.3x) increase in durability relative to Composition 16, which contained 25% calcium carbonate by weight.
- Composition 15 exhibited a 430% increase (5.3x) in durability relative to Composition 16.
- the testing illustrated that the combination of lowering the coating composition PVC while also using alternate extenders and/or pigmentary Ti(1 ⁇ 4 instead of any calcium carbonate not only did not hinder the removal of NO x compounds by films formed with the compositions but also significantly increased durability of the formed films.
- compositions of the invention offer a surprisingly superior coating selectivity factor (CSF) over the use of styrene acrylic polymer, where the CSF is defined as:
- A is multiplied by B (durability) to give a CSF representative of the coatings overall desirability to remove NO x , reduce the amount of TiO 2 required for the coating and having suitable durability.
- B durability
- An embodiment of the invention also includes providing coating compositions which have a CSF value at least 1.5x greater than styrene acrylic polymer containing coating compositions.
- Another embodiment of the invention is providing coating compositions which have a CSF value between 2x - lOx greater than styrene acrylic polymer containing coating compositions.
- In yet another embodiment of the invention is providing coating compositions which have a CSF value between 3x - 5x greater than styrene acrylic polymer containing coating compositions.
- the coating compositions of the invention not only provide environmental benefits by reducing the amount of NO x from the atmosphere, but also contribute to environmental sustainability by reducing the amount of titanium dioxide necessary to produce a suitable coating composition for the purpose of reducing the amount of NO x .
