<p>Surfaces of solid substrates, e.g. those made of wood, metal, glass, ceramic or plastic, are coated by applying thereto a composition comprising a solution in an organic solvent of (1) a copolymer of which at least 50 mole per cent is constituted by units of methyl methacrylate and of which 2,5 to 8 mole per cent is constituted by acrylamide and/or methacrylamide, and (2) as a cross-linking agent N,N1-bis-methoxymethyl-N,N1-ethyleneurea or N,N1-bis-methoxymethyluron in an amount of 10 to 20% based on the weight of the copolymer, the organic solvent consisting essentially of a mixture of (a) 80 to 95% by weight of toluene, a xylene or 2-ethoxyethyl acetate or a mixture of two or more such solvents, and (b) 20 to 5% by weight of the monomethyl ether of ethylene glycol. As additional components of the copolymers there may be present units of other monomers, e.g. acrylic and methacrylic acids, esters and nitriles and itaconic acid. The compositions may also contain pigments, e.g. titanium dioxide, carbon black, phthalocyanine pigments, aluminium flake, bronze powder, pearl essence, talc, barytes china clay and diatomaceous earth. After application to the surface, e.g. by dipping or spraying, the composition is dried and baked at a temperature of 250 DEG to 350 DEG F. The examples describe the application of coatings to panels of bare steel, phosphated steel and steel coated with an epoxy resin primer. Other possible primers include alkyd resins, alkyd/aminoplast mixtures, alkyd/epoxy mixtures, and alkyd/aminoplast/epoxy mixtures which may be co-reacted.ALSO:Coating compositions comprise a solution, in an organic solvent, of (1) a copolymer of which at least 50 mole per cent is constituted by ester units of methyl methacrylate and of which 2,5 to 8 mole per cent is constituted by units of acrylamide and/or methacrylamide, and (2) as a cross-linking agent N,N1-bis-methoxymethyl-N,N1-ethyleneurea or N,N1-bis-methoxymethyluron in an amount of 10 to 20% by weight based on the copolymer, the organic solvent consisting essentially of a mixture of (a) 80 to 95% by weight of toluene, a xylene or 2-ethoxyethyl acetate or a mixture of two or more such solvents, and (b) 20 to 5% by weight of the monomethyl ether of ethylene glycol. As additional components of the copolymers there may be present units of other monomers, e.g. methyl and ethyl acrylates, C2-C4 alkyl methacrylates, acrylic and methacrylic acids and nitriles and itaconic acid. The copolymers are preferably prepared by polymerization of the monomers in toluene, xylene or 2-ethoxyethyl acetate with the aid of benzoyl peroxide or azodiisobutyronitrile as a catalyst, the resulting copolymer solution being diluted with ethylene glycol monomethyl ether. The compositions are used for coating purposes, for which they may contain as additional ingredients acid catalysts for the hardening of the coatings, particularly maleic acid and tertiary amine mono-salts thereof, and pigments, e.g. titanium dioxide, carbon black, iron blues, phthalocyanine blues and greens, metal oxides, hydroxides, sulphides, sulphates, silicates and chromates, aluminium flake, bronze powder, pearl essence, talc, barytes, china clay and diatomaceous earth. After applying to a suitable substrate the coating is dried and cured by heating, e.g. at a temperature of 250 DEG -350 DEG F.</p> |
