METHODS FOR MAKING COATING COMPOSITIONS HAVING PREDETERMINED VOC CONTENTS, METHODS FOR MAKING SYSTEMS FOR PRODUCING SUCH COATING COMPOSITIONS, AND TEMPERATURE ADJUSTERS FOR MAKING SUCH COATING COMPOSITIONS

摘要

A method of making a coating composition includes selecting a temperature adjuster from a plurality of temperature adjusters based on an ambient temperature at which application of the coating composition is to occur. The temperature adjuster contains a resin and a solvent. The resin, the solvent, and/or amounts of the resin and the solvent are based on the ambient temperature. The temperature adjuster contains no less than about 1% solids and has no more than a predetermined VOC content. A paint is combined with the temperature adjuster. The paint contains a resin and a solvent and has no more than the predetermined VOC content. The temperature adjuster and the paint are mixed to form the coating composition, wherein the coating composition has no more than the predetermined VOC content.

1. A method for making a coating composition, the method comprising the steps of:
selecting a temperature adjuster from a plurality of temperature adjusters based on an ambient temperature at which application of the coating composition is to occur, the temperature adjuster comprising a resin and a solvent, wherein the resin, the solvent, and/or amounts of the resin and the solvent are based on the ambient temperature, wherein the temperature adjuster comprises no less than about 1% solids and wherein the temperature adjuster comprises no more than a predetermined VOC content; combining a paint with the temperature adjuster, the paint comprising a resin and a solvent and having no more than the predetermined VOC content; and mixing the temperature adjuster and the paint to form the coating composition, wherein the coating composition has no more than the predetermined VOC content.
