- preferred polysaccharides include, but are not limited to, various cellulose derivatives, and starch and various starch derivatives, with dextrins being most preferred.
- the protective compositions of this invention utilize dextrins as film formers.
- Dextrins are widely known as products of the hydrolysis of starch, often by amylases. More specifically, dextrins are polymers of D- glucose, characterized by an ⁇ (l-4) linkage, which are intermediate in complexity between starch and maltose. The viscosity of dextrins, in aqueous solution, varies depending on dextrin length and degree of branching. However, compared with the original starch, dextrins produce aqueous solutions of lower viscosity. Commercially available dextrin typically comprises a mixture of higher viscosity and lower viscosity dextrins.
- the term "dextrin” refers to that combination of higher and lower viscosity dextrins as would be obtained in a typical commercial preparation such as Amaizo 1895 (Cerestar C*+08602), 1890 (Cerestar C*+08601), and 1885 (produced by American Maize Products Co., now owned by Cerestar), Amiogum 35 (EmCap06377), and the like.
- Prefened dextrins have a viscosity ranging from about 12 to about 20 seconds, more preferably from about 12 to about 15 seconds, and most preferably about 12 seconds in an aqueous solution comprising 40 percent solids (dextrins), as measured using a number 3 Zahn cup.
- a most prefened dextrin When measured as an aqueous solution comprising about 50 percent solids (dextrin) a most prefened dextrin has a viscosity ranging from about 95 to about 100 centipoise.
- One such prefened dextrin is an off-specification Amaizo 1895 designated Amaizo 2686N dextrin, available from American Maize Products, Co.).
- dextrins are derived from maize, dextrins derived from other sources are also suitable. These include native dextrins of any origin, synthetic, natural or hybrid, derived, for example from potatoes, manioc, corn, waxy corn, corn with high amylose content, wheat, rice, and the like. Other preferred embodiments utilize tapioca dextrins (also known as crystal gum, see e.g. K4484 from National Starch and Chemical Col, Birdgewater NJ.) and/or maltodextrins (e.g., Star-Dri 180, A.E. Stanley Co.). Preferred maltodextrins are products produced from corn starches.
- tapioca dextrins also known as crystal gum, see e.g. K4484 from National Starch and Chemical Col, Birdgewater NJ.
- maltodextrins e.g., Star-Dri 180, A.E. Stanley Co.
- DE dextrose equivalent
- reducing sugars present calculated as dextrose and expressed as a percentage of the total dry substance.
- Preferred maltodextrins have DE values of less than about 20, more preferably less than about 15 and most preferably have a DE value of about 10.
- dextrose of glucose has a DE of 100.
- Dextrin is utilized in the films of the present invention to provide solids and to build film thickness. It was an unexpected discovery of the present invention, that the use of dextrins provides masking compositions that show exceptional coating, film forming, and drying properties, h particular, the use of high concentrations of dextrins allow the buildup of a thick coating which nevertheless shows relatively low viscosity, good coating properties and an extremely rapid drying time. This is in dramatic contrast to starch-based compositions that typically cannot achieve comparable high solids concentration. Starches form highly viscous aqueous solutions that tend to gel at a solids concentration far too low to permit formation of a continuous protective film. Prior to the present invention, it was unknown and unsuspected that the use of dextrins would overcome this limitation and form the basis of an effective paint masking composition.
- the quantity and type of dextrin in the coating composition may be optimized for a particular application. This is accomplished empirically. Generally where it is desired that the composition dry to provide a thicker final coating more solids (dextrin) are added to the composition. However, the upper limits to dextrin concentration are dictated by the resulting viscosity of the composition. The viscosity of the wet coating must be low enough to permit application to and continuous coating of the surface. Thus, in order to produce a thick coating one increases the solids concentration, but not beyond a point where the composition becomes difficult or impossible to apply. Conversely, where a thin coating is desired, the solids composition may be decreased, but not to a point where the composition fails to form a continuous protective coating when dried.
- maltodextrins are particularly effective. Moreover, the maltodextrins dry to form a somewhat tacky coating and help to capture and retain airborne dust particles thereby helping to provide a reduced dust or dust-free environment for the overcoating operation. Because they produce a thick and relatively tough film, maltodextrins are particularly well suited in coating compositions designed for use on floors (e.g. floors of paint booths). Maltodextrins typically tend to yellow when subjected to drying cycles (heat). However, discoloration is rarely an issue for protective floor coverings. In contrast, tapioca dextrins tend to form thinner coatings that dry quickly. The tapioca dextrins do not discolor on repetitive heating and hence are particularly well suited to applications on surfaces such as walls (e.g. the walls of a spray booth).
- the optimal solids content of the mixture is a function of the application method. It is expected that the composition may be applied by a variety of methods known to those of skill in the art. These methods include, but are not limited to painting, dipping, spraying, reverse roller coating, and the use of doctor bars. One of skill in the art will appreciate that application by spraying will generally require a composition of lower viscosity than application by the use of doctor bars. Thus a composition intended for application by spraying may contain a lower solids concentration than a composition applied by dipping or doctoring.
- the coatings of the present invention also include a plasticizer to provide toughness and flexibility and in particular to prevent cracking of the film during drying and subsequent handling.
- Suitable plasticizers are well known to those of skill in the art and include, but are not limited to glycerine, sorbitol, simple sugars (e.g. glucose, sucrose, levulose, dextrose, etc.), urea, triethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, polyglycerol, glycerol, and other water soluble plasticizers. These plasticizers may be used alone, or in combination with each other.
- a particularly preferred combination of plasticizers is urea in combination with glycerine or glycerine derivatives such as glycerine monostearate or glycerine monooleate.
- Another particularly preferred combination is glycerin in combination with sorbitol.
- the plasticizer is simply sorbitol.
- the coatings utilizing urea as a plasticizer preferably include about 4 percent to about 12 percent urea, more preferably about 6 percent to about 12 percent urea and most preferably about 7 percent to about 12 percent urea, while the coatings utilizing glycerine and/or sorbitol as plasticizer preferably include about 0.8 percent to about 30 percent glycerine and/or sorbitol, more preferably about 3 to about 16 percent glycerine and/or sorbitol, and most preferably about 4% or 5% to about 10% glycerine and/or sorbitol.
- the coatings of the present invention that are force dried typically require a higher plasticizer concentration than the coatings that are simply air dried.
- coatings that are simply air-dried may contain plasticizer in concentrations near the lower end of the ranges provided above.
- the air-dried coatings contain about 4 percent (10 percent, by weight, of the dextrin) urea or 0.8 percent (2 percent, by weight, of the dextrin) glycerine.
- force dried coatings preferably contain higher concentrations of plasticizer.
- the force-dried coatings may contain about 7.2 percent (18 percent, by weight, of the dextrin) urea or about 2 percent (5 percent, by weight, of the dextrin) glycerine.
- coatings containing the higher amounts of plasticizer may be air dried as well.
- coatings containing the lower amount of plasticizer may often be successfully force-dried.
- the coatings of the present invention may additionally contain a surfactant.
- Suitable surfactants include, but are not limited to anionic surfactants (e.g., alkyl sulfates (e.g. RhodaponTM), ether sulfates (e.g. RhodapexTM), sulfonates (e.g. RhodacalTM), dodecylbenzene sulfonates, alpha-olefin sulfonates, diphenyl oxide disulfonates, phosphate esters (e.g. RhodafacTM), carboxylates (e.g.
- cationic surfactants e.g., imidazolines (e.g. MiramineTM , ethoxylated amines (e.g. RhodameenTM, etc.), non-ionic surfactants (e.g., nonylphenol ethoxylates (e.g. Igepal CO series), octylphenol ethoxylates (e.g. Igepal CA series), nonionic esthers (e.g. AlkamulsTM), oleyl alcohol ethoxylates (e.g. Rhodasurf ), ethoxylated mercaptans (e.g. Alcodet ), capped ethoxylates (e.g.
- imidazolines e.g. MiramineTM , ethoxylated amines (e.g. RhodameenTM, etc.
- non-ionic surfactants e.g., nonylphenol ethoxylates (e.g. Igepal
- the masking composition includes nonionic alkyl aryl surfactants such as Triton CF-10 and CF-12 (Rohm & Haas, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.). Also suitable is Triton X-100 and surfactants having fluorinated alkyl chains such as "Fluorad” products sold by Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing (St.
- Preferred compositions include up to 5 percent surfactant. More preferred compositions include less than 2 percent surfactant, and most prefened compositions include about 1 percent, or less, by weight, surfactant.
- the masking composition should adequately wet the surface to be protected. However, many surfaces, in particular, car body finishes, are themselves highly hydrophobic or purposely treated (e.g. waxed) to have a low surface free energy so that water will bead. To facilitate wetting and thereby prevent the masking composition from beading, the surface tension of the masking composition may be lowered by the addition of a surfactant.
- a primary role of the surfactant in the masking composition is to wet the substrate thereby leading to the formation of a continuous film.
- a sufficiently continuous protective film could be obtained with little or no surfactant so long as the masking composition contains a very high solids content (e.g. , high concentrations of dextrin). Films containing high solids concentrations are often highly viscous and therefore difficult to apply, especially by spraying. While, as explained above, the use of dextrins allows the production of coatings with a high solids content, the use of surfactants or other wetting agents is prefened as coatings containing surfactants show superior film-forming properties in a variety of application methods.
- the surfactant should reduce the surface tension of the composition to a sufficiently low value that a level film, free of pinholes, is laid down, h most instances the surfactant will reduce the surface tension of the masking composition to at most about 25 dynes per centimeter, and more preferably to at most about 20 dyne/cm. To avoid fonnation of pinholes, the surfactant should not foam. Further, the surfactant should work with a variety of surfaces such as those containing silicones, acrylic waxes, teflon® waxes, clear coats, natural and hydrocarbon waxes, etc.
- surfactants will be relatively inexpensive, will provide a product that does not spot, streak, or frame (i.e., evaporate faster at edges such as molding and/or trim) on the surface to be protected.
- the surfactant should be water soluble and otherwise compatible with the other components of the masking composition so that the composition does not separate and leave pinholes when dry. Because many surfaces to be protected will have unusually low surface free energies, the surfactant should be able to dramatically lower the surface and interfacial tensions of the masking composition. Compositions having very low surface tensions also tend to produce many fewer pinholes in the coating. Thus, any of the known classes of very low surface tension surfactants are preferred for use with this invention.
- One such class is the alkoxylates of fluormated alkyl chains.
- Other functional derivatives e.g., esters, sulfonates, carboxylates, ammonium compounds, etc
- fluormated alkyl chains also tend to produce low surface tension aqueous solutions, h general, replacement of hydrogens on an alkyl group by fluorine atoms leads to surfactants of unusually low surface tension.

- the coating compositions of this invention can additionally include one or more thickeners.
- the thickener may be utilized to regulate the viscosity and film thickness of the protective coating composition.

- thickeners offer previously unsuspected advantages in the formulation of polysaccharide-based protective coatings for paint overspray (masking coatings).
- thickeners dramatically increase the resistance of the dry film to incidental contact with moisture.
- incidental moisture e.g. dew/condensation when the coated automobile is stored outside overnight, incidental condensation on very humid days, incidental splash/misting from washing operations, etc.

These include painting, dipping, spraying, reverse roller coating, and the use of doctor bars. Particularly preferred techniques include brushing and spraying of the material. In one preferred embodiment the surface to be protected is blown dry of dust and debris. In some cases, additional water may be added for easier application, such as a 10%> dilution. Thereafter, the masking material is applied with a pressure pot sprayer, preferably first in a thin mist and, thereafter, in a flow coat or thicker substantially continuous film. For some applications, the mist coat will not be necessary.
- the resulting masking coating is applied in a wet coating in a thickness ranging from about 1 to about 10 mils, more preferably ranging from about 1 to about 4 mils, and most preferably ranging from about 1 to about 2 mils.

Under ambient conditions (about 62°F and 60%> humidity), the dextrin composition dried in about 21 minutes, while the SlimePlusTM coating took well over an hour to dry. Both coatings provided a continuous substantially free of pinholes and dry to the touch.
- the dextrin based coating eliminated a whitening of black paint observed with SlimePlusTM. Without being bound to a particular theory, it is believed that SlimePlusTM 1 passes through a gel phase when drying. This gel phase tends to hydrate the automotive paint coating on the underlying surface producing a temporary local whitening.
