AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a cost-effective system and method for drying five-sided containers, such as intermodal cargo containers, that have been coated with water-based paint. The system uses a drying chamber and conventional blowers and heaters, and can be installed in a shipping facility or easily retrofitted to existing drying chambers. The water-based coating can be used to protect metal-containing substrates against corrosion. The system is particularly effective for forming coatings with excellent sag resistance. The patent also provides aqueous coating compositions that can form coatings with satisfactory sag resistance, even at high levels of certain additives. Controlling humidity conditions during application and drying / cure can also improve sag resistance.

Problems solved by technology

If a conventional drying chamber is used to dry shipping containers to which a water-based paint has been applied, the paint on the container does not adequately dry in a reasonable amount of time, which increases operating costs and adversely affects the appearance of the painted container.
It is typically not cost-effective to extend the length of the drying chamber or significantly increase the air flow capacity of the system that applies the heated air to the drying chamber.

Abstract

The present invention provides a water-based coating and / or coating system that can be used to form sag resistant wet layers or coatings on a wide range of substrates. The coating system is particularly effective for protecting metal-containing substrates, such as intermodal cargo containers, against corrosion. As an overview, the present invention provides water-based compositions suitable to form primer coats on substrates. Desirably, the primer incorporates a high level of one or more CAS agents for excellent sag resistance while drying in a broad range of relative humidity environments. Alternatively, modifications can be made to control temperature and humidity during spray application and drying as a way to increase sag resistance of the coating.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S)[0001]This application is a continuation of PCT Application No. PCT / US2011 / 057010, filed 20 Oct. 2011, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61 / 450,481, filed 8 Mar. 2011.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to water-based coating systems and methods used to form protective coatings on substrates and in particular metal containing substrates. More particularly, the present invention relates to coating compositions, methods, and coating systems involving an aqueous coating composition. These coatings are typically used as a primer coat (also referred to as a base coat) or as a direct-to-metal coat (“DTM”), wherein the aqueous coating composition preferably has a sufficiently high loading of one or more clay anti-sag agents (hereinafter “CAS agents”), and / or the coating is applied in a controlled humidity environment, to promote enhanced performance of the resultant coatings with respect to sag resi...
