<p>A lacquer comprises an organic solvent solution of nitrocellulose and a copolymer of ethylene and an ethylenically unsaturated ester of a saturated fatty acid, the copolymer comprising at least 36% by weight of the ester and being present in the proportion of 20-80% by weight, based on the combined weight of the nitrocellulose and the copolymer, especially 35-65%. Preferably the copolymer is an ethyllene-vinyl acetate copolymer. Other suitable ethylenically unsaturated esters are listed. Specified solvent mixtures include toluene, ethyl alcohol, butyl alcohol, ethyl acetate and butyl acetate and "Cellosolve" (Registered Trade Mark) acetate. Dioctyl phthalate may also be present. Specified pigments include titanium dioxide and phthalocyanine blue. Specification 497,643 and U.S.A. Specifications 2,200,429, 2,394,960, 2,395,381, 2,703,794 and 2,734,375 are referred to.ALSO:Aluminium foil and paper are coated with a lacquer comprising an organic solvent solution of nitrocellulose and a copolymer of ethylene and an ethylenically unsaturated ester of a saturated fatty acid, the copolymer comprising at least 36% by weight of the ester and being present in the proportion of 20-80% by weight, based on the combined weight of the nitrocellulose and the copolymer, especially 35-65%. Preferably the copolymer is an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer. Other suitable ethylenically unsaturated esters are listed. Specified solvent mixtures include toluene, ethyl alcohol, butyl alcohol, ethyl acetate and butyl acetate and "Cellosolve" (Registered Trade Mark) acetate. Dioctyl phthalate may also be present. Specified pigments include titanium dioxide and phthalocyanine blue. Application may be made by spraying, dipping, roller coating, spreading with a doctor blade or rod, or printing, followed by air drying at ambient or elevated temperature. Aluminium foil which still retains traces of processing oils may be coated without prior removal of said oils. The lacquers are also useful for other substrates including "Cellophane" (Registered Trade Mark), paperboard, cloth, leather, rubber, metal and wool.</p> |
