Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to an anti-rust composition for metal surfaces and a method of anti-rust treatment on metal surfaces. More specifically, the present invention relates to an anti-rust composition for cold roll steel and a method of anti-rust treatment on cold roll steel.BACKGROUND

[0002] Many metal coils, sheets and parts tend to get rusting without any treatment during storage and transportation. The resultant rust will bring defects that could not be overcome by further processing. Therefore, those metal coils, sheets and parts need to be prevented from rusting before delivered to the production workshop by applying an anti-rust coating layer.

[0003] Take coil steels for instance, normally the coil steels are coated with oil to block air and water during storage and transportation. However, using oil as anti-rust coating layer is followed by further treatments including steps of i). decoiling the coil steels; ii). cutting the coil steels into steel plates; iii). forming the steel plates; iv). degreasing the surfaces of coil steels; v). phosphating the surfaces of coil steels; and vi). painting. Those treatments yield lots of waste water that contain chemical compounds harmful to the environment. And meanwhile those steps bring in considerable workload to the factories.

[0004] The industry still expects a new anti-rust product that provides a good performance of anti-rust during storage and transportation and at the same time reduce the following treatment steps, especially the steps of degreasing and phosphating could be avoided that bring pollutions to the environment.

[0005] US 2014 / 0134368 relates to a process for coating a metallic surface with an aqueous composition comprising (a) as main component an organic film former consisting of at least one synthetic resin which consists of 70-100 wt.% of a water soluble or water dispersible synthetic resin, poly(meth)acrylate being mentioned inter alia; (b) a long-chain alcohol as film-forming aid; (c) a cross-linker, (d) a lubricant, (f) a silane, silanol or siloxane and / or an inorganic compound of a specific particle size and (g) optionally a corrosion inhibitor, solvent or additive. Hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate ester polymers as component (a) or as any other component are not mentioned.

[0006] CN 109161288 A relates to weather-resistant metal roof waterproof coatings comprising water, an amide group-modified acrylate copolymer emulsion, a wetting and dispersing agent, preservative, antifreeze, film-forming aid, anti-rust pigment, pigment, filler, anti-flash rust agent, UV absorber, silane coupling agent, thickener, defoamer, and multi-functional pH value adjustment. Hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate ester polymers as acrylate copolymer or as any other component are not mentioned.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0012] As used herein, the articles "a" and "an" refer to one or to more than one (i.e., to at least one) of the grammatical object of the article. By way of example, "an element" means one element or more than one element.

[0013] As used herein, the articles "resin" and "resins" refer to polymer and / or copolymer of one or more monomers and / or the derivatives of the monomers.

[0016] As used herein, the article "degreasing" refers to removing grease or oil from a metal surface generally using hot water, steam, alkaline cleaners, or organic solvents.

[0017] As used herein, the article "phosphating" refers to the application of phosphoric acid on steel or iron parts, where a classic acid and metal reaction takes place which locally depletes the hydronium (H 3 O +< ) ions, raising the pH, and causing the dissolved salt to fall out of solution and be precipitated on the surface of steel or iron parts.
