Definitions
- the present invention relates to color harmonization, and more particularly relates to the use of a coating composition that provides substantially uniform visual characteristics for articles of manufacture comprising different types of substrate materials.
- footwear such as athletic shoes often comprise different types of materials including natural leather, synthetic leather, vinyl, fabric, foam and rubber.
- a different coating composition is conventionally applied to each type of substrate material. For example, one type of coating may be applied to natural leather upper components of the shoe, and another type of coating may be applied to synthetic leather upper components of the shoe.
- Color matching is a process by which the visual characteristics of more than one coating are "matched" such that the two or more coatings give the same or substantially same appearance.
- Color matching can be desired when, for example, two different substrates on the same article of manufacture are coated with two different coatings.
- Color matching can also be desired when trying to identify a coating that matches a previously coated article or component. For example, automotive body shops often paint repaired portions of autobodies with coating compositions selected to match the color of the original autobody paint; such color matched coatings often have different compositions from the original coatings, and may comprise significantly different types of coatings such as air- cured versus heat-cured coatings.
- color matched components may have substantially the same appearance in some viewing and illumination conditions, they may not maintain the same appearance when the viewing angle is changed, when the spectral distribution of the light source is changed and/or when the coatings have aged.
- some color matched components may have the same appearance in daylight conditions, but may not match under fluorescent and/or incandescent lighting. When a color match is dependent on illumination or viewing condition, the match is termed conditional or "metameric".
- An embodiment of the present invention provides an article of manufacture comprising a first substrate comprising a first flexible material, a second substrate comprising a second material different from the first material, and a color harmonization coating covering at least a portion of the first substrate and at least a portion of the second substrate.
- Another embodiment of the present invention provides footwear comprising a first substrate comprising a first flexible material, a second substrate comprising a second flexible material different from the first flexible material, and a color harmonization coating covering at least a portion of the first substrate and at least a portion of the second substrate.
- a further embodiment of the present invention provides a method of making an article of manufacture including first and second flexible substrates of different materials.
- the method comprises coating at least a portion of the first flexible substrate with a color harmonization coating composition, and coating at least a portion of the second flexible substrate with the color harmonization coating composition.
- Another embodiment of the present invention provides a method of making footwear including first and second flexible substrates of different materials. The method comprises coating at least a portion of the first flexible substrate with a color harmonization coating composition, and coating at least a portion of the second flexible substrate with the color harmonization coating composition.
- a further embodiment of the present invention provides an article of manufacture comprising a first substrate comprising foam, a second substrate, and a color harmonization coating comprising an aqueous polyurethane resin and a colorant, wherein at least part of the first substrate and at least part of the second substrate are coated with the color harmonization coating.
- Another embodiment of the present invention provides footwear comprising a first substrate comprising foam, a second substrate, and a color harmonization coating comprising an aqueous polyurethane resin and a colorant, wherein at least part of the first substrate and at least part of the second substrate are coated with the color harmonization coating.
- FIG. 1 is a partially schematic side view of an athletic shoe comprising multiple components made from different types of substrate materials which may be coated with a color harmonization coating in accordance with a non-limiting embodiment of the present invention.
- Figs. 2-9 are color photographs of athletic shoes including color harmonization coatings in accordance with embodiments of the present invention.
- Fig. 10 is a color variability chart showing substantially uniform color characteristics for a color harmonization coating of the present invention under different lighting conditions and substrates versus conditional or metameric color characteristics for conventional color matched coating compositions under different lighting conditions and substrates.
- the present invention provides color harmonization for articles of manufacture comprising two or more components of different materials or substrates.
- Color harmonization and like terms mean the use of the same or substantially similar coating compositions to provide substantially uniform visual characteristics for two or more different types of substrates under more than one lighting condition.
- a "color harmonization coating” is a coating that exhibits such substantially uniform visual characteristics.
- the color harmonization coatings may be used to coat two or more components of an article of manufacture to provide substantially uniform color for the multiple components, thereby avoiding the problems and/or labor associated with conventional color matching techniques.
- at least one of the components of the article of manufacture comprises a flexible substrate.
- flexible substrate refers to a substrate that can undergo mechanical stresses, such as bending, stretching, compression and the like, without significant irreversible change.
- flexible substrates include natural leather, synthetic leather, finished natural leather, finished synthetic leather, suede, vinyl, nylon, ethylene vinyl acetate foam (EVA foam), thermoplastic urethane (TPU), fluid-filled bladders, polyolefins and polyolefin blends, polyvinyl acetate and copolymers, polyvinyl chloride and copolymers, urethane elastomers, synthetic textiles and natural textiles.
- At least one flexible substrate of the article may comprise foam.
- foam substrate means a polymeric and/or natural material that comprises a plurality of open and/or closed cells.
- foam substrates include polystyrene foams, polymethacrylimide foams, polyvinylchloride foams, polyurethane foams, polypropylene foams, and polyethylene foams.
- olefinic foams include polypropylene, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and polyethylene foams.
- the article of manufacture comprises footwear.
- footwear includes athletic and sport shoes, men's and women's dress shoes, men's and women's casual shoes, children's shoes, sandals, flip flops, boots, work boots, outdoor footwear, orthopedic shoes, slippers and the like.
- footwear components include soles, midsoles, upper materials and liners.
- athletic shoes may comprise natural leather, synthetic leather and/or textile uppers, and EVA foam midsoles.
- Fig. 1 illustrates an athletic shoe comprising multiple components made from different types of substrate materials which may be coated with a color harmonization coating in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
- the shoe 10 includes an upper portion 12, a sole 14, and a midsole 16.
- the upper portion 12 of the shoe 10 includes various sections such as a body 22, heel 24, toe 26, midsection 27, eyelet 28, and tongue 29.
- the various upper sections of the shoe 10 may be made from different types of materials.
- the body section 22 may comprise natural leather
- the heel 24 may comprise TPU
- the toe 26 may comprise synthetic leather
- the midsection 27 may comprise natural leather
- the eyelet 28 may comprise nylon
- the tongue 29 may comprise synthetic leather or fabric.
- These various components may be assembled together by techniques such as sewing, gluing and the like.
- the sole 14 and midsole 16 of the shoe 10 may be made from various types of materials which are typically different from the materials of the upper portion 12.
- the sole 14 may be made of rubber or the like, while the midsole 16 may comprise foam substrates such as EVA foam and the like, as listed above.
- a color harmonization coating may be applied to at least two of the different shoe components comprising different substrates, such as those shown in Fig.
- the present color harmonization method may provide one or more advantages over conventional shoe assembly methods by using one coating system that can be used to coat different shoe component substrates.
- the cycle times to produce shoes can be greatly reduced since all of the shoe substrates can be ordered in a standard color such as white or black.
- the shoe manufacturer can paint all components themselves with the same paint using the same methods.
- the shoe components can be coated to obtain the desired colors needed for the shoe.
- the present methods also lend themselves to production of small batches of shoes having unique color and/or visual effect. Further, since the same coating may be applied to the different shoe component substrates, they will have good color harmony in all lighting situations. In addition, any fading of the color as a result of wear or cleaning may be substantially uniform across the different substrates, thereby maintaining color harmony throughout the life of the shoe.
- automotive upholstery In addition to footwear, other examples of articles of manufacture that may undergo color harmonization in accordance with embodiments of the present invention include automotive upholstery, automotive interiors, furniture upholstery, hand bags, clothing, coats, wallets, wheel covers, luggage, cases, sporting goods, sports equipment and the like.
- automotive or furniture upholstery may comprise a combination of natural leather and synthetic leather components which may be coated with a color harmonization coating in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
- the term "coating” means a material that forms a substantially continuous surface layer or film on an exterior surface of a substrate. The thickness of the coating is measured from the surface of the substrate. In some embodiments, a portion of the coating may penetrate at least partially into the substrate. For example, the coating may penetrate at least partially into the pores of a leather or foam substrate. It will be appreciated that the coatings of the present invention are sprayed or otherwise deposited onto the substrates themselves, which may or may not have other coatings applied thereto, and are not applied as a laminate nor are they applied to release paper and transferred to a substrate. Thus, application of the present coating compositions can reduce labor time.
- the color harmonization coatings of the present invention can be applied to the substrates by any conventional coating application process.
- Example coating application methods include spraying, slot coating, roll coating, curtain coating, dipping, screen printing, brushing or rod coating.
- the coating is applied to substantially all of an entire exterior surface of the substrate. In other embodiments, the coating is applied to a portion of an exterior surface of the substrate.
- the coating may be desired to apply directly to an exterior surface of the substrate.
- a primer to the exterior of the substrate before applying the coating.
- primers include epoxies, epoxy polyamides, polyolefins, chlorinated polyolefins, vinyl polymers, polyurethanes, alkyds, acrylics, polyesters and the like.
- a protective layer such as a sealer and/or clear coat may be applied to the exterior surface of the coating to provide a protective and/or visually aesthetic layer.
- the coating composition is suitable for any type of coating, and is particularly suitable as a topcoat.
- the coating can comprise a single application coating or monocoat.
- the coating composition can be applied as one layer in a multiple layer coating system having two or more layers in which each coat may or may not contain different components.
- the color harmonization coating composition is an aqueous coating comprising an aqueous resin dispersion and a colorant.
- the aqueous coating composition may be substantially solvent-free.
- substantially solvent-free means that the coating composition contains less than about 15 or 20 weight percent organicsolvents, e.g., less than 5 or 10 weight percent, with weight percent being based on the total weight of the coating composition to be applied to the substrate.
- the coating composition may contain from zero to 2 or 3 weight percent organic solvents.
- aqueous as used herein means coating compositions in which the carrier fluid of the composition is predominantly water on a weight percent basis, i.e., more than 50 weight percent of the carrier comprises water. The remainder of the carrier comprises less than 50 weight percent organic solvent, typically less than 25 weight percent, for example, less than 15 weight percent. Based on the total weight of the coating composition (including the carrier and solids), the water may comprise from about 20 to about 80 weight percent, typically from about 30 to about 70 weight percent, of the total composition.
- the substantially solvent-free, aqueous coating compositions of some embodiments of the present invention comprise polyurethane dispersions.
- Suitable polyurethane resins include those formed from a polyisocyanate, an active hydrogen-containing material, such as a polyol, as polyether, a polyester, a polycarbonate, a polyamide, a polyurethane, a polyurea, a polyamine, a polyolefin, a siloxane polyol, and/or mixtures thereof, an acid functional material having a functional group reactive with isocyanate and optionally a polyamine.
- the film-forming polyurethane resin is generally present in the coating in an amount greater than about 20 weight percent, such as greater than about 40 weight percent, and less than 90 weight percent, with weight percent being based on the total solid weight of the cured coating.
- the weight percent of resin can be between 20 and 80 weight percent.
- the polyurethane has a molecular weight average of at least 10,000, such as at least 25,000 or 100,000 or higher.

- di and/or trifunctional acrylics, polyesters, polyethers, polycarbonates, polyamides, epoxies and/or vinyls can be added as a partial replacement for a portion of the polyurethane dispersion of the aqueous coating compositions.
- Suitable di and/or trifunctional acrylic resins can include unsaturated acrylic monomers and/or copolymers with vinyl monomers prepared through emulsion polymerization.
- Suitable polyester resins can include reaction products of polyfunctional acid, anhydrides, polyfunctional alcohols, and monofunctional acids and alcohols.
- Other suitable resins include hybrids or mixtures of any of these resins, for example, acrylic/polyurethane and/or acrylic/polyester hybrids or blends.
- a solvent based polymer coating composition may be used.
- the solvent based coating may comprise two components.
- the first component may comprise a first polyester polyol having a first functionality and a second polyester polyol having a second functionality, wherein the second functionality is greater than the first functionality.
- the second component comprises an isocyanate.
- the NCO:OH ratio of the coating composition can be 0.8:1 or higher. It will be appreciated that the two components, when combined, produce a polyurethane coating.
- the difference between the hydroxyl numbers of the first polyester polyol and the second polyester polyol is at least 10. In another embodiment, the difference between the hydroxyl numbers of the first polyester polyol and the second polyester polyol is at least 20.
- the first polyester polyol of the first component has a low functionality. As used herein, the term "low functionality" means that the polyester polyol has a hydroxyl number of less than about 65. A suitable low functionality polyester polyol has a hydroxyl number of from about 40 to about 60. In one embodiment, the first polyester polyol has a hydroxyl number of from about 54 to about 58.
- the low functionality of the first polyester polyol results in increased flexibility and a lower tendency to form crosslinks when reacted with an isocyanate in a coating.
- Any polyester polyol having a low functionality can be used in the present invention.
- the first polyester polyol can be the reaction product of carboxylic acids and polyalcohols; such a product is commercially available as DESMOPHEN 1625A from Bayer Corporation.
- the second polyester polyol of the first component has a medium functionality.

- the red photochromic urethane acrylate composition was blended according to a 55:15:30 weight ratio of polyurethane dispersion:carbodiimide crosslinker: red photochromic urethane acrylate colorant.
- the resulting red photochromic composition was spin-coated on action leather substrate. Appearance and photo-activation were excellent.
- the base composition was substantially similar. Identical colorants could alternatively be used in the same base coating with excellent mechanical and visual properties on different substrates.
- System “A” is a comparison of the red footwear coating described in Example 3 on synthetic leather (uppers) and the same coating on EVA foam material (midsole).
- System B is a comparison of two different color match formulations on two different substrates: an Envirobase 5502 color match coating on synthetic leather; and a Global 5502 color match coating on EVA foam. The two different 5502 coatings were color matched to achieve the same color.
- Six different combinations (two systems x 3 lighting sources) were measured five times each to demonstrate that the observed change in relative color is not simply a function of measurement variation. In this example all of the coatings were applied via spray application.
- ⁇ a is a measure of degree to which the specimen looks red or green.
- Table 12 is graphically illustrated in Fig. 10.
- the ⁇ a color match varied depending on the light source. More specifically, the color of each coating as read by the spectrophotometer is closer under fluorescent light than under daylight or incandescent light. This demonstrated one of the problems associated with color matching.
- the color read by the spectrophotometer is substantially the same under all lighting sources.
