example 1 and comparative example A-D

[0031] Samples of Working Example 1 were prepared as described below. 1.50g TiO 2 (STS-21, obtained from Ishihara Sangyo Kaisha, Japan), 50.59g deionized water, 0.75g sodium silicate (sodium silicate PD (Sodium Silicate PD), 37% by weight, containing 2.75% by weight of SiO 2 / Na 2 O, obtained from PQ Corporation, Valley Forge, PA), and a dispersion of 8.66 g of freshly prepared tetraethoxysilane (TEOS, 98%, obtained from Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) in ethanol / water ( The molar ratio of the dispersion is TEOS:EtOH:H 2 O=1:40.7:53.6) was added into a 250mL container and stirred evenly. The resulting mixture was then slowly poured onto 1000 g of WA5100 pellets (untreated, available from 3M Company, St. Paul, MN) that had been preheated to 210°F (about 99°C) for one hour and being stirred. While pouring, stir the pellets to ensure an even coating. Continue to agitate the pellets for about 2 minutes. The pellets were then heated with a heat gun until they appeared dry and ...

example 2-5

[0039] The samples of Working Examples 2-5 were prepared by the same procedure as that of the sample of Working Example 1 was prepared. The compositions of the photocatalytic coatings of Working Examples 2-5 are listed in Table 2. In contrast to Working Example 1, Grade No. 11 uncoated pellets (available from 3M Company, St. Paul, MN) were used in Working Examples 2-5. In addition, the samples of Working Examples 3 and 5 were fired at 400°F (about 204°C) instead of 800°F.

[0040] The durability of the coated pellets was measured and reported in Table 2. The results also show that the use of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) in combination with sodium silicate significantly increases durability.

[0043] example

example 6-9

[0045] The samples of Working Examples 6-9 were prepared by the same procedure as that of the sample of Working Example 1 was prepared. The compositions of the photocatalytic coatings of Working Examples 6-9 are listed in Table 3. In contrast to Working Example 1, Grade No. 11 uncoated pellets were used in Working Examples 6-9. In addition, TEOS acidic aqueous solution was used in Working Examples 6-9. Prepare this solution by mixing 43.20 g of deionized water, 10.00 g of 98% TEOS, and a drop of 68 to 70% analytical nitric acid (HNO 3 ) (available from EM Industries, Gibbstown, NJ) was added to a 100 mL glass bottle and stirred magnetically for 60 minutes at room temperature. In addition, potassium silicate was used in Working Examples 7 and 8 instead of sodium silicate. In addition, the samples of Working Examples 8 and 9 were fired at 500°F (260°C) instead of 800°F.

Abstract

In one aspect, the present invention is directed to a coating composition. The coating composition comprises photocatalytic particles and an alkali metal silicate binder comprising an alkoxysilane. In another aspect, the present invention is directed to a coated article. The coated article has a photocatalytic coating with improved durability on its external surface that is formed from the aforethe coating composition.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to coating compositions and coated articles having photocatalytic coatings formed from the coating compositions, especially for use in building materials, such as roofing pellets. Background technique [0002] Discoloration of building surfaces due to algae growth or other media has been a problem that has plagued the construction industry for many years. Discoloration is often caused by the presence of blue-green algae and other airborne pollutants such as soot and grease. [0003] One way to solve this problem is to coat the building surfaces with a composition comprising a photocatalyst and a binder, usually a silicate binder. Photocatalysts can photooxidize organic materials that cause discoloration when exposed to sunlight. [0004] Photocatalytic titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) particles can be used to provide photocatalytic activity, for example in roofing pellets. In order to obtain long-term photocatalytic performan...
