[0033] [Composition]

[0034] (Hydrophilic coated pigment)

[0035] The composition according to the present invention includes (a) at least one hydrophilic coated pigment. If at least two hydrophilic coated pigments are used, they may be the same or different.

[0036] The term "pigments" should be understood as meaning white or colored and inorganic or organic particles which are insoluble in the physiologically acceptable volatile medium such as water and which are intended to color and / or opacify the film formed by the composition according to the present invention.

[0037] The pigments preferably have an absorption ranging from 380 to 780 nm, and in at least one embodiment, an absorption at a maximum in this absorption range.

[0038] The pigments may be organic pigments. By "organic pigment" is meant here any pigment that meets the definition of Ullmann's encyclopedia in the chapter on organic pigments. The organic pigment may be chosen, for example, from nitroso, nitro, azo, xanthene, quinoline, an-thraquinone, phthalocyanine, metal complex, isoindolinone, isoindoline, qui-nacridone, perinone, perylene, diketopyrrolopyrole, thioindigo, dioxazine, triphenylmethane and quinophthalate compounds.

[0039] The organic pigment may be chosen, for example, from carmine, carbon black, aniline black, melanin, azo yellow, quinacridone, phthalocyanine blue, sorghum red, the blue pigments codified in the color index under the references CI 42090, 69800, 69825, 73000, 74100 and 74160, the yellow pigments codified in the color index under the references CI 11680, 11710, 15985, 19140, 20040, 21100, 21108, 47000 and 47005, the green pigments codified in the color index under the references CI 61565, 61570 and 74260, the orange pigments codified in the color index under the references CI 11725, 15510, 45370, and 71105, the red pigments codified in the color index under the references CI 12085, CI 12120, 12370, 12420, 12490, 14700, 15525, 15580, 15620, 15630, 15800, 15850, 15865, 15880, 17200, 26100, 45380, 45410, 58000, 73360, 73915 and 75470, and the pigments obtained by oxidative polymerization of indole or phenolic derivatives as described, for example, in French patent no. 2,679,771.

[0040] These pigments may also be in the form of composite pigments as described, for example, in European Patent No. 1,184,426. These composite pigments may be composed, for example, of particles comprising an inorganic core at least partially covered with an organic pigment and at least one binder for fixing the organic pigments to the core.

[0041] Other examples may include pigment pastes of organic pigments such as the products sold by the company Hoechst under the names: Cosmenyl Yellow IOG: Pigment Yellow 3 (CI 11710); Cosmenyl Yellow G: Pigment Yellow 1 (CI 11680); Cosmenyl Orange GR: Pigment Orange 43 (CI 71105); Red Cosmenyl R": Pigment Red 4 (CI 12085); Carminé Cosmenyl FB: Pigment Red 5 (CI 12490); Violet Cosmenyl RL: Pigment Violet 23 (CI 51319); Blue Cosmenyl A2R: Pigment Blue 15.1 (CI 74160); Vert Cosmenyl GG: Pigment Green 7 (CI 74260); and Black Cosmenyl R: Pigment Black 7 (CI 77266).

[0042] The at least one pigment may also be chosen from lakes. By "lake" is meant here insolvent dyes adsorbed on insoluble particles, the complex or compound thus obtained remaining insoluble during use.

[0043] Inorganic substrates onto which the dyes are adsorbed may include, for example, alumina, silica, calcium sodium borosilicate, calcium aluminum borosilicate, and aluminum.

[0044] Non-limiting examples of organic colorants include cochineal carmine and products known as: D&C Red 21 (CI 45380), D&C Orange 5 (CI 45370), D&C Red 27 (CI 45410), D&C Orange 10 (CI 45425), D&C Red 3 (CI 45430), D&C Red 4 (CI 15510), D&C Red 33 (CI 17200), D&C Yellow 5 (CI 19140), D&C Yellow 6 (CI 15985), D&C Green (CI 61570), D&C Yellow 10 (CI 77002), D&C Green 3 (CI 42053) and D&C Blue 1 (CI 42 090).

[0045] Another non-limiting example of a lake is the product known as: D&C Red 7 (CI 15850:1).

[0046] The pigment may also be a special effect pigment. By "special effect pigments" is meant here pigments that generally create a non-uniform colored appearance (characterized by a certain hue, vibrancy and / or brightness) that changes depending on the viewing conditions (light, temperature, viewing angles, etc.). They thus contrast with white or colored pigments that provide a standard uniform opaque, semi-transparent or transparent shade.

[0047] There are two types of special effect pigments: those with a low refractive index, such as fluorescent, photochromic and thermochromic pigments, and those with a high refractive index, such as pearls and glitters.

[0048] The pigment may also be selected from pigments having an interference effect which are not fixed on a substrate, for example, liquid crystals (Helicones HC from Wacker) and holographic interference flakes (geometric pigments or Spectra f / x from Spectratek).

[0049] Special effect pigments may also include fluorescent pigments, whether daylight fluorescent or ultraviolet fluorescent, phosphorescent pigments, photochromic pigments, and thermochromic pigments.

[0050] The pigments may also be inorganic pigments, in a preferred embodiment. By "inorganic pigment" is meant herein any pigment that meets the definition of Ullmann's Encyclopedia in the chapter on inorganic pigments. Preferably, the inorganic pigments comprise at least one inorganic material. Non-limiting examples of inorganic pigments useful in the present invention include metal oxides, in particular, transition metal oxides, such as zirconium oxides, cerium oxides, iron oxides, zinc oxides, chromium oxides, manganese violet, ultramarine blue, chromium hydrate, ferric blue and titanium dioxide. The following inorganic pigments can also be used: Ta2O5, Ti3O5, Ti2O3, TiO and ZrO2 in admixture with TiO2, ZrO2, Nb2O5, CeO2 and ZnS.

[0051] The pigment may also be a pearlescent pigment such as a white pearlescent pigment, for example, mica coated with titanium or bismuth oxychloride, a colored pearlescent pigment such as mica coated with titanium and iron oxides, mica coated with titanium and, for example, ferric blue oxide or chromium oxide, mica coated with titanium and an organic pigment as defined above, as well as a pearlescent pigment based on bismuth oxychloride. Examples of such pigments may include Cellini pigments sold by Engelhard (Mica-TiO2-lake), Prestige pigments sold by Eckart (Mica-TiO2) and Colorona pigments sold by Merck (Mica-TiO2 Fe2O3).

[0052] In addition to pearlescent pigments on a mica support, multilayer pigments based on synthetic substrates such as alumina, silica, calcium sodium borosilicate, calcium aluminum borosilicate and aluminum, may be useful in accordance with the present disclosure.

[0053] According to the present invention, the hydrophilic coated pigment (a) has at least one coating on the pigment and is hydrophilic. The hydrophilic coated pigment (a) is not an uncoated pigment. It is preferable that the coating is hydrophilic and is the outermost layer of the hydrophilic coated pigment (a). By "hydrophilic" is meant herein that the pigments can be dispersed in water at an ambient temperature of 25°C, for example.

[0054] The material included in the coating is not limited as long as the coated pigment is hydrophilic. It is preferable that the material included in the coating is chosen from alginate such as sodium alginate, silica and a mixture thereof.

[0055] The hydrophilic coated pigment (a) may be selected from inorganic particles, preferably metal oxide particles, and more preferably titanium oxide particles and / or iron oxide particles, coated with alginate (e.g., sodium alginate) or silica. It is even more preferable that the alginate or silica coating constitutes the outermost layer of the hydrophilic coated pigment (a).

[0056] Examples of the hydrophilic coated pigment (a) include:

[0073] The glass transition temperature (Tg) of a polymer can be measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), for example, under the following conditions: To measure the glass transition temperature, an approximately 150 mm thick film of test polymer is prepared by depositing an aqueous solution or dispersion of the polymer into a 40 mm diameter circular Teflon mold and allowing the deposit to dry. The film is dried in an oven at a temperature of approximately 23 °C, under a relative humidity of 45%, until the weight no longer changes. Approximately 5 to 15 mg of the film is removed and placed in a crucible, which is then introduced into the analyzer. The thermal analyzer is a TA Instruments model DSC-2920®. The initial and final temperatures of the temperature scan are chosen to surround the desired glass transition temperature.The temperature scan is performed at a rate of 10°C / minute. This analysis is performed in accordance with ASTM D 3418-97, except as modified above.
