A method of extending the open time of a water-based acrylic paint composition and a method of controlling the open time of a water-based acrylic paint composition are also described.

Description

Paint Composition Field of the Invention This inventioii relates to water based artists' pain.ts and more particularly to improved water based artists' paint compositions.

IiacWound to the Iuvenfian Acrylic paints dry as water leaves the paint. As water evaporates or is absorbed by the substrate to which the paint is applied, acrylic polymer particles coalesce into a continuous adhesive film. Within a relatively short period of time, approximately 10 to minutes, a skin forms over the outer surface of the paint film. At this stage the paint film is said to be "dry to the touch". The thicker films continue to dry over time, the length of time varying with the thickness of the flm. For very thin films this may be a few minutes, while films half a centimetre in thickness or more may take weeks or 15 months.
Once the skin has formed over the paint film, the film can no longer be worked.
The artist is not able to change and adapt what is taking place on the canvas using traditional techniques. Although the touch dry film could be painted over, the "wet in wet" pa'niting techniques are severely cuttailed. The term "wet in wet" is used by persons skilled in the art to refer to painting techniques by which the artist creatively works and develops the wet paint on the substrate, adding, blending and alter'vag the appearance over time to achieve the desired artistic result.
Temperature, hu.midity and air flow are environmental factors that influence the drying times of acrylic paint compositions. The time taken for a paint fihn to skin over can be extended somewhat by reducing air-flow, lowering temperature and inereasing humidity. Manipulating such environmental factors may not always be possible or practical. Low temperatures (below about 9 C) may interfere with coalescence of the polymer particles resulting in paint film cracking, becoming powdery or failing to adhere to the substrate. Optimum humidity may be difficult to determine and maintain.
The nature of the substrate also influences the dryi:ng time of acrylic paint compositions. An absorbent substcate will draw moisture out of the paint composition and speed drying time. Sealing the substrate to reduce absorbency or selecting a nonabsorbent substrate such as metal or masonite will reduce the moisture lost through the substrate. Using a moist substrate can also reduce moisture lost through the substrate and increase humidity in the environment of the paint. -By soaking the back of a canvas with water or, attaching wet rags or sponges to the back of a canvas, for example, the rate of drying of the paint f$lm can be reduced. This technique has limitations and the water may also wash irnpurities out of the canvas into the paint film causing discoloration.
Humectants, such as glycerin or propylene glycol may be used as paint additives to extend the time taken for a paint fdni to skin over. As paint additives however, humectants tend to linger in the paint film. They can remain tacky and adversely affect outer coat adhesion. Most importantly they do not prevent fast drying of thin films of paint.

Disclosure of the Invention The invention relates to a water-based paint containing at least one water dispersible acrylic polymer, the improvement comprising including in the composition at least one alkali soluble polymer in an amount effective to increase the open time of the composition and at least one substituted amine in an. amount effeotive to adjust the pH to about 7 to about 11.
In one aspect the present invention provides a water-based paint composition comprising: at least one pigment in an effective amount to provide the desired pigmentation; at least one alkali soluble polymer in an amount effective to increase the open time of the composition, said polymer being selected from the group consisting of polymers soluble at ambient temperature and pressure in an aqueous solution having a pH of from about 7 to about 11; at least one substituted amine in an amount effective to adjust the pH to about 7 to about 11, said amine selected from the group consisting of Cz.6 alcohol amines, C1_6 alkyl Cl-b alcohol amines and mixtures thereof; a binding effective amount of at least one water dispersible acrylic polymer; and an effective amount of at least one alkali soluble or allcali swellable thickener.
The composition also optionally includes one or more conventional additives such as dispersants, rheology modifiers, defoamers, coalescents and preservatives.
The term "open time" as used herein means the time during which the paint composition remaans workable such that it may be blended and altered.
3o The present inventor has surprisingly found that the period during which a water-based acrylic paint composition remains workable, i.e. the open time of the paint, can be significantly extended to free the artist to develop the artistic work over many hours. Rather than developing a paint skin in the normal way, within about 10 minutes, the .composition sets gradually over time_ Wet paint may therefore be appiied over paint already on a sutistxate and may be blended with it and into it, giving artists time to create complex paintings while working at their own pace and with ample opportunity to revise aiid alter their work before it becomes fixed. The open time can be .extended for several hours and for as long as a day by using the composition of the invention and by periodically applying water to the paint film for example by sprinkling or spraying.
The conventional acrylic binder, namely a water dispersible polymer, is prevented from forming a skin as the water evaporates. Whilst not wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the alkali soluble polymer forms a coating around the dispersion polymer particles preventirig coalescence of those particles. A water resistant film is formed only when the amine evaporates and the alkali soluble polymers themselves become water resistant.
Accordingly, the present invention also provides a method of extending the open tirne of a water-based acrylic paint composition comprising including in the composition at least one alkali soluble polymer in an amount of effective to increase the open time of the composition said polymer being selected from the group consisting of polymers soluble at ambieAt temperature and pressure in an aqueous solution having a pH of from about 7 to about 11; and at least one substituted amine in an anzount effective to adjust the pH to about 7 to about 11 and optionally, periodically applying water to the composition.

Alkali Soluble Polymer As used herein, the term "alkali soluble polymer" means a polymer which is capable of being solubilized at ambient temperature and pressure in an aqueous solution where the pH is alkaline. The solubilization pH of the alkali-soluble polymer is generally in the order of from about 7 to about 11. Preferably the solubilisation pH is in the order of from about 7.5 to about 10, more preferably about 7.5 to about 9.5. An alkali soluble polymer has at least one acidic or anion producing group.
Examples of anion producing groups include but are not .limited to earboxylic hydroxyl, phenolic hydroxyl, active imido and sulfonamide.
The alkali soluble polymer is made to serve as au auxiliary binder and is not a conventional ingredient in acrylic paints.
The proportion of alkali soluble polymer can be varied to manipulate the drying time of the paint composition. The higher the ratio of alkali soluble polymer to water dispersible acrylic polymer, the longer the drying time as long as a slow-evaporating amine is also present (as discussed below).
For a paint composition with a feel similar to a conventional acrylic artists' paint the ratio of alkali soluble polymer to water dispersible acrylic polymer may range from about 1:4 to 1:20, preferably from about 1:5 to 1:10. In a 200L batch of paint for example where 80kg/200L of water dispersible acrylic binder is used and about 10kg/200L of alkali soluble or alk.ali swellable thickener, the amount of alkali soluble polymer may be in the range of about 4-20 kg/200L, preferably 8-15 kg/200L, more preferably 8-12 kg/200L and most preferably 8-10kg/200L. This equates to ratios of alkali soluble polymer to water dispersible acrylic polymer of from about 1:4 to 1:20, preferably from about 1:5.33 to 1:10, more preferably from about 1:6.66 to 1:10 and most preferably from about 1:8 to 1:10.
For a paint composition with a feel more like a traditional gouache a ratio of alkali soluble polymer to water dispersible acrylic polymer may range from about 1:1 to 1:3, preferably about about 3:4. This ratio gives a tough paint film which is less brittle and more flexibile than a conventional guache but can still be applied thickly if desired.
Artists may wish to use paints in several different ways or techniques in the same painting and the paint is usually applied in successive layers. An artist may sometimes want a layer of paint to dry qu.ickly, but more often wants to extend the open time, and being able to control what is happening is desixable.
A paint as described above with 80kg water dispersible acrylic binder per 200L
and 8-12kg of alkali soluble binder does not form a skin and can be kept "open" by spraying with a water atomiser from time to time as water evaporates and the paint becomes tacky. Mediums can also be used to give the artists even more control.
Tor faster drying, a medium made from water dispersible acrylic polymer applied to a paint film will swing the balance towards fast film formation, while for a slower drying paint, a medium made from alkali soluble polymer/ substituted amine swings the balance in the opposite direction.
In a preferred embodiment therefore, the invention provides a method of controlling the open time of a water-based acrylic paint composition, the method comprising including in the composition at least one alkali soluble polymer in an amount effective to increase the open time of the composition and at least one substitated amine in an amount effective to adjust the pT-T to about 7-11 and periodically applying to the composition one or more of:
(a) water;
(b) a medium comprising at least one alkali soluble polymer and at least one substituted ami.ne in. an amount effective to adjust the pH to about 7-11; and (c) a medium comprising at least one water dispersible acrylic polymer.
.35 Suitable commercially available alkali soluble polymers are flexographic ink polymers such as those manufactured by Rohm & Haas under the names Lucxdene TM

.361 and Lucidene TM 602 LS, and Acrysol 1-62. Also suitable are GlascolTM
LS16, and the LE 500 series - LE 510, LE 520 and LE 530 manufactured by Ciba Specialty Chemicals and Joncryl 142 TM manufactured by Johnson Wax Co.
5 Substituted Amine Substituted amines are included in amounts sufficient to neutralise the composition to a pH in the range of about 7 to about 11. Preferably the pH is in the range of from about 7.5 to 10, more preferably about 7.5 to 9.5. Suitable amines include C1.6 alcohol annines .' and C1.6 alkyl CI_6 alcohol amines such as aminomethylpropanol (AMP), monoethanolainine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA) and triethanolamine (TEA) and mixtures thereof. AMP and TEA and mixtures thereof are preferred. Substitnted amines are selected so as to slow the evaporation of the amines thereby extending the time in which the binders and thickeners (those which are water soluble or swellable under alkali conditions) may remain in solution.
Dispersible Acrylic Polymer The present invention includes at least one water dispersible acrylic polymer.
These polymers are conventional binders for acrylic paints, well known to those slcilled in the art. Suitable polymers include water dispersible polymers containing one or inore monomers selected from styrene, acrylates, alkylarylates and dienes.
Polymers including acrylate, methacrylate and methyl methacrylate monomers are common.
The selection of water dipersible acrylic binder and the quantity to be used for the composition of the present invention is within- the skill of the person skilled in the art using routine trial and experimentation.
Examples of suitable commercially available water dispersible acrylic polymers are PR 3230, ae 2235, ACI-1955 and Primal SF-017 manufaetured by Rohm & Haas.
Also suitable is Acrona1290D manufactured by BASF.
The water dispersible aciylic polymer is present in the composition of the invention in a binding effective amount. A "binding effective amount" of at least one water dispersible acrylic polymer will be understood to mean that the at least one water dispersible polymer is present in an amount so that in combination with the at least one alkali polymer discussed above, it tivill bind the pigment particles together into a cohesive paint film upon drying.
Thickener One or more alkali soluble or alkali swellable thickeners are included in the composition of the present invention.. Such thickeners typically comprise the aqueous emulsion reaction product of an unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer, e.g., methacrylic acid; a moizoethylenically unsaturated monomer different from the carboxylic acid monomer, e.g. ethyl acrylate; a macromonomer coxaaprising a hydrophobic portion and an alkoxylated portion which is polymerizable with the other monomers; and a monomer having latent crosslinking funetionality. Suitable thickeners include UCAR 146 and UCAR Polyphobe TR115, manufactured by Union Carbide and Acrysol DRW 1, Acrysol DR-73, Acrysol ASE 60 manufactured by Rohm &
Haas.
The thickeners may be varied depending on the main pigmeilts being used in order to get a uniform viscosity. The selection of alkali soluble or alkali swellable thickener and the quantity to be used for the composition of the present invention is within the skill of the person skilled in the art using routine trial and experimentation.
Pigment One or more pigments may be included in the composition. Pigmentation provides colour and opacity and may contribute to other properties of the paint composition. A person skilled in the art will be aware that pigment particle size and shape, ease of wettabi.lity or properties relating to specific density contribute to the viscosity and application characteristics of the wet paint composition and ultimately properties of the dried paint coatings. A person skilled. in the art will therefore appreciate that the choice of pigment will have an effect on the choice of other ingredients such as thickeners.
It is well- within the skill of the addressee to determine the appzopriate selection of pigment and the quantity to be used using routine trial and experimentation.
Colour pigments may be organic or inorganic compounds, natural or synthetic and these may be used separately or in combination. Titanium dioxide is a conunon white pigment with a high refractive index and excellent hiding power (the ability to render a paint opaque). It is frequently used with both coloured organic and inorganic pigments. Iron oxides range in colour from yellow and red to brown and black.
Azo pigments are a common class of organic colour pigments. Pigments called "extender"
pigmealts may be used in conjunction with other pigments. The use of extender pigments reduces shrinkage stresses witliin the paint film and increases the pigment volume content at relatively low cost. Extender pigments include those based on carbonates, silicates, sulfates, barytes 'and mica. The use of extender pigments aids in viscosity and flow control and reinforces the dry film strength.

Dispersant The cornposition of the present invention may include one or more dispersants.
These are conventional ingredients used to enhance pigment loading and dispersion stability. The dispersant may be nonionic or anionic surfactants. Anionic surfactants are preferred. Examples of suitable anionic emulsifiers include sadium lauryl sulfate, sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate, dioctylsulfosuccinate, sodium polyoxyethyleue lauryl ether sulfate, sodium dodecyl diphenyloxide disulfonate and other diphenylsulfonate derivatives, and sodium salt of tert-octylphenoxyethoxypoly(39) ethoxyethyl sulfate.
Suitable anionic surfactants are manufactured by Rohm & Haas under the trade marks Orotan 1124, Orotan 1288, Orotan 731 DP and Orotan 850.
The skilled addressee is able to determine the appropriate selection of dispersants and the quantity to be used using routine trial and experimentation.

Other Additives The composition also optiortally includes one or more conventional additives such as rheology modifiers, defoazners, coalescents and preservatives.

Best Modes for Performing the Invention The invention will now be further discussed with reference to the following exa7nples. It is to be understood that these examples are illustrative and not restrictive.

The alkali swellable thickener in the examples may be substituted with other conventional alkali swellable thickeners as discussed above.
The amount of Alkali Soluble Ink polymer may be varied to control the rate of drying. For Acrysol 1-62 in the examples above amounts may be varied from about 4kg to about.20kg/200L. Preferred amounts are from 8-15 kg/200L more preferably 8-12 kg/200L. Less than 4kg does not achieve the desired effect.

The paint making process is the same for any colour and is the conventional procedure which may be siunmarised as follows.

Stage 1: Load: Add water, dispersants, some defoamer as required to control against foam and alkali soluble ink polymer and under agitation using a cavitation mixer such as a TORRACE rnixer, add enough substituted amine, such as MEA or TEA, to neutralize this mixture to desired pH, add the coalescent if used. A suitable defoamer is manufactured by Henkel under the trade mark Foaniaster NS-l..

Stage 2: At this point the pigment (and extender if used) is added, either in powder form; or possibly as a pre-dispersed liquid which has already been processed in a bead m.yll.

Stage 3: Add a portion of the thickener and disperse.

Stage 4: Let down: Add the acrylic binder dispersion, the rheology modifiers and remainder of the thickener and the propylene glycol.

Stage 5: Add sufficient water to make 200L and stir until the batch is uniform.

The present invention gives an artist considerably more time to develop an artistic piece while still retaining the benefits of using water-based acrytic paints (such as low amounts of volatile organic compounds, excellent colour retention and brushes being able to be washed out in water). The invention provides paint compositions with increased open time without loss of appropriate viscosity and with desirable fmal film properties once the aznine has evaporated.

It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that nu.merous variations and/or modifications may be made to the uavention as shown in the specific embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as broadly described. The present embodiments are, therefore, to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive.
