Rubber Combination Paints

Composition. Chlorinated rubber combination paints contain a second resin as the property-determining binder. The chlorinated rubber is added to an alkyd resin, acrylic resin, or bituminous substances to improve properties such as drying rate, water resistance, or chemical resistance. This application only accounts for a small proportion of the total chlorinated rubber consumption. 

The proportion of chlorinated rubber in the binder varies from 10 to 50wt% depending on the intended application plasticizers and/or alkyd resins and/or acrylic resins account for the remainder. 

In combinations with bituminous substances the proportion of chlorinated rubber ranges from 1 10 to 10 1. The ratio depends on whether the goal is to improve the bitumen-based coating without any substantial increase in cost, or to reduce the cost of the chlorinated rubber coating. Adhesion is improved but with the disadvantage of darker shades caused by the black bitumen. 

Production corresponds to that of pure chlorinated rubber paints (see Section 2.3.2). 

Chlorinated Rubber-Acrylic Resin Combinations. Physically drying acrylic resins are used for these combinations. These combinations have the same drying rates as normal chlorinated rubber paints (see Section 2.3.2). They have improved flow properties (particularly when applied by pouring techniques), improved weather resistance (chalking and yellowing), and favorable mechanical properties (adhesion and extensibility). Applications include topcoats for ship superstructures and priming coats on galvanized surfaces.

Rheology is the science of the deformation and flow of matter. It is concerned with the response of materials to applied stress. That response may be irreversible viscous flow, reversible elastic deformation, or a combination of the two. Control of rheology is essential for the manufacture and handling of numerous materials and products, eg, foods, cosmetics, rubber, plastics, paints, inks, and drilling muds. Before control can be achieved, there must be an understanding of rheology and an ability to measure rheological properties. 

Fire-retardant paints for wood have been developed using urea-formaldehyde resins and ammonium phosphate. Heat causes this compound to intumesce and develop an insulating layer for the surface upon which it is applied. Oil-based fire-retardant paints usually contain organic materials such as resins, paraffins, or chlorinated rubbers combined with inorganic vehicles, or they may be compounded of inorganics such as ammonium compounds. 

Clays have layers of linked (Al, Si)04 tet-rahedra combined with layers of Mg(OH)2 or AI(0H)3- Clays are very important soil constituents and are used in pottery, ceramics, as rubber, paint, plastic and paper fillers, as adsorbents and in drilling muds. 

In addition to poly(methyl methacrylate) plastics and polyacrylonitrile fibres, acrylic polymers find widespread use. First introduced in 1946, acrylic rubbers have become established as important special purpose rubbers with a useful combination of oil and heat resistance. Acrylic paints have become widely accepted particularly in the car industry whilst very interesting reactive adhesives, including the well-known super-glues are also made from acrylic polymers. 

Atmospheres polluted by oxidising agents, e.g. ozone, chlorine, peroxide, etc. whose great destructive power is in direct proportion to the temperature, are also encountered. Sulphuric acid, formed by sulphur dioxide pollution, will accelerate the breakdown of paint, particularly oil-based films. Paint media resistant both to acids, depending on concentration and temperature, and oxidation include those containing bitumen, acrylic resins, chlorinated or cyclised rubber, epoxy and polyurethane/coal tar combinations, phenolic resins and p.v.c. 

The most economically important materials with respect to ozone damage are paint, elastomers (rubbers), and textile fiber-dye systems. Damage to polyethylene by ozone is considered to be negligible. The 1970 ozone damage to materials has been estimated as follows paint, 540 million elastomers, 569 million and textile fibers and dyes, 84 million—for a total of over 1 billion. Thus, the total combined material and crop damage falls between 1.5 and 2 billion per year. Estimates of damage to natural ecosystems are not available. 

Lead powder can be combined with many binders [5.165], [5.166], It does not affect the stability or viscosity of the paint. Binders that absorb only small amounts of water are particularly suitable (e.g., epoxy resins, chlorinated rubber). When formulating paints based on lead powder, care must be taken not to dilute it with other pigments and extenders by more than 5 vol%. 

Chlorinated rubber is often used in combination with medium oil drying-type alkyds. The principal applications are highway traffic paint, concrete floor, and swimming pool paints. 

Uses Zinc (Zn) is one of the most common elements in the Earth s crust. Metal zinc was first produced in India and China during the Middle Ages. Industrially important compounds of zinc are zinc chloride (ZnCl2), zinc oxide (ZnO), zinc stearate (Zn (Ci6H3502)2), and zinc sulfide (sphalerite, ZnS). It is found in air, soil, and water, and is present in all foods. Pure zinc is a bluish-white shiny metal. Zinc has many commercial uses, as coatings to prevent rust, in dry cell batteries, and mixed with other metals to make alloys like brass and bronze. Zinc combines with other elements to form zinc compounds. Zinc compounds are widely used in industry to make paint, rubber, dye, wood preservatives, and ointments.109-112... 

Use and exposure Barium is a silvery-white metal that exists in nature only in ores containing mixtures of elements. It combines with other chemicals such as sulfur or carbon and oxygen to form barium compounds. Barium compounds are used by the oil and gas industries to make drilling muds, which make it easier to drill through rock by keeping the drill bit lubricated. They are also used to make paint, bricks, ceramics, glass, and rubber. Barium sulfate is used to perform medical tests and to take x-rays of the gastrointestinal tract in humans. ... 

Chlorinated rubber is often used in combination with medium-oil drying type alkyds. The alkyd gives better toughness, flexibility, adhesion, and durability, and the chlorinated rubber contributes to faster dry and better resistance to water and chemicals. The major applications are highway traffic paint, concrete floor, and swimming pool paints.
