AQUEOUS WATER-REPELLENT COATINGS
Technical Field This invention relates to aqueous, air drying water-repellent latex coating compositions which include a large proportion of wax and provide long-term water repellency and durability on exterior exposure. These coatings are primarily intended for application to exterior wood surfaces.
Bac~round of the Invention The coatings industry has long sought to develop coating compositions that can be applied to wood surfaces to provide air drying coatings which demonstrate long-term water repellency and durability on exterior exposure~
It is known that the presence of a wax in a coating provides water repellency. In certain prior coatings, a paraffin wax was melted, dissolved in an organic solvent and incorporated into the organic solvent-based coating composition as a solution.
~0 However, only a small proportion of wax can be incorporated in this manneru This is unsuitable for many exterior applications where larger amounts of wax are needed to extend the duration of water repellency.
Organic solvent-based coating compositions have been developed which include a large proportion of paraf~in wax and which provide coatings with the foregoing properties of water repellency and durability ~see U.S. Patent No. 4,450,247 which issued on May 22, 1984 and which is assigned to DeSoto, Inc., the assignee of this invention)~ Such coating compositions include a solution of an alkyd resin in mineral spirits.
But the use of large amounts o organic solvents in such coating compositions leads to ., ~
-, : ~ : ' '' :
, ':
' ' ~.27633~3 numerous environmental and other known disadvantages because of the presence o-f a solvent. It is desirable to minimize these disadvantages through the use of coatings which contain minimal amounts of ~olatile organic solven-ts. Thus, a need e~ists for aqueous coatings which substantially duplicate the water repel-lency and the durability of -the patented solvent-based coatings.
In U.S. Patent No. 4,576,987, issued March 18, 1986 which is also assigned to DeSoto, Inc., we disclose aqueous, air drying water-repeLlent latex coating composi-tions that include an aqueous microcrystalline wax dispersion, an aqueous latex of emulsion copolymerized monoethylenically unsaturated monomers and an aqueous dispersion of an N-methylol -functional self-cross-linking polyurethane.
The polyurethane component provides several functions, one of which is to toughen the coating~ This is helpful when the copolymerized unsaturated monomers are of the type that do not readily dry in air to form hard films in the absence of a curing agent. For example, certain polymers of monoethylenically un-saturated monomers in aqueous emulsion do not coalesce adequately at Low temperatures (less than about 20 degrees C) so when these polymers are softened for adequate coalescence, they require the presence of a curing agent -to provide the desired film hardness.
The use of such a curing agent, however, adds to the cost o~ the coating composition, and it impairs the adhesion needed when largely unpiymented coatings are used on decks.
~ t is desirable, therefore, to provide aqueous latex coating compositions which dry under ~.27~i33~3 --3~
ambient conditions to form durable water-repellent films and which include a large proportion of wax, but which do not include substantial amounts of organic solvents or curing agentsO These coating compositions should coalesce below about 25 degrees C
and preferably below about 20 degrees C.
Moreover, and even when the copolymer has sufficient hardness, it is desired to provide improved adhesion and wear resistance for deck application.
Disclosure of the Invention . _ In accordance with this invention, an aqueous latex coating composition includes a large proportion of wax and dries in air under amhient conditions to provide a continuous and durable water-repellent film.
As used herein, the term '7ambient conditionsl" refers to atmospheric pressure and temperaturles in the range of at least about 0 degrees C to about 30 degrees C. The wax of the present coating composition slowly and progressively exudes to the surace of the film to form a water-repellent surface that persists for a long period of time;
i.e., at least for several months and, preferably for several year~.
The term "water--repellent" as used herein, indicates a hydrophobic film which causes water to bead on the surface of the film without penetrating the film. The terms "water-resistant" and l'water resistance", on the other hand, indicate a film that does not readily degrade or deteriorate in the presence of water~ but the film does not necessarily repel water. Most coatings are water resistant to some degree, few coatings are water repellent.

The coating composition consists essentially of (1) from about S percent to about 50 percent, preferably from 15 percent to 40 percent, by weight of an aqueous wax dispersion lncluding a petroleum wax, a polyethylene was and a surfactant; and (2~ from bout 50 percent to about 95 percent, preferably from 60 percen~ to 85 percent, by weight of an aqueous latex of emulsion copolymeri~ed monoethylenically unsaturated monomers.
Thus, according to one aspect, the present invention provides an aqueous coating composition which dries to provide a continuous film from which a wax will slowly and progressively exude to provide a water-repellent surface that confers long-term water resi.stance consisting essentially of from about 5 percent to about 50 percent of an aqueous wax dispersion including a petroleum wax, a polyethylene wax and a surfactant; and from about 50 percent to about 95 percen~ of an aqueous latex of emulsion copolymerized acrylic copolymer comprising monoethylenically unsaturated monomers having a sufficiently low glass transition temperature to coalesce on air drying, said proportions being by weight of solids based on the total solids not including any pigment which may be present.
As a feature of this invention, improved adhesion and wear resistance are provlded by the inclu~ion o~ an aqueous emulslon of an unsaturated oil or fatty acid thereof together with a catalyst for the drying reaction, typlcally a cobalt naphthenate. The proportion o~ this optional component may range from 5 percent to 50 percent, preferably from 10 percent to 40 percent.
~,a d~7~3~13 -4a- 23158-1572 The proportions disclosecl herein are by weight of sollds based on the total weight of solids :Ln the composition not including any pigment which may be present.
The aqueous latex of emulsion copolymerized monoethylenically unsaturated monomers preferably have a sufficiently low glass ~ransition temperature (Tg) to coalesce on air drying and provide a durable film. In general, aqueous emulsion copolymers having a (Tg) of from about 5 degrees C to about 2~ degrees C are useful herein since these provide coatings which are soft enough to air dry in A~he presence of little or no organic solvent, and which are hard enough to be u~eful without added curing agent.
Film formation from emulsions involves loss of water by evaporation, followed by coalescence of the emulsifled polymer particles to provide a continuous adherent film. There i5 a minimum ~wf ~.27~33~3 temperature for each polymer system below which coalescence of the particles (or film formation) will not take place. This temperature is related to the "glass transition teMperature" (designated Tg) of the S polymer. This is the point of transition between a hard solid and a plastic or semi-fluid condition.
The Tg of a monomer is the glass transition temperature of a homopolymer of the monomerO Such values are commonly determined by differential thermal analysis or by calculation from the monomers and their preparation in a known manner.
Emulsion-containing coating compositions can be applied at temperatures below the Tg of the polymer, and it is usual, therefore, to include a small proportion of a coalescing solvent in the formulation. These solvents can be stirred into the emulsion and dissolve in the polymer particles, resulting in a softening of the polymer and a momentary lowering of the Tg as the deposited coating dries. This helps the polymer particles to coalesce and produce a continuous film, whereupon the coalescing solvent evaporates. Solvents used for -this purpose include certain glycol esters and ether-esters as will be described herein.
As indicated, the aqueous wax dispersion comprises a blend of at least about 30 percent of a petroleum wax ~preferably, a paraffin wax), at least about 10 percent of a polyethylene wax and a surfactant. Preferably, the aqueous wax dispersion includes from about 40 percent to about 70 percent of a paraffin wax, from about 15 percent to about 25 percent of a polyethylene wax and enough surfactant to stabili~e the dispersion, usually at least about 5 percent. More preferably, the aqueous wax dispersion inc~udes from about 50 percent to about 60 percent ~, , .
~.%7~ii33~
paraffin wax, about ~0 percent polyethylene wax and a~ least about ~0 percent of a fatty acid salt surfactant (wit~. ammonia or an alkali metal).
As indicated above, the foregoing proportions are by weight of solids based on the total ~eight of solids in the composition not including any pigment which may be present.
Wax selection is more critical in the present coating compositions than in the solven~-based or the aqueous coatiny compositions discussed above. Higher melting point waxes and carnauba wax may be used as the petroleum wax; but, as described herein, paraffin waxes are preferred.
Paraffin waxes generally contain about 14 different stralght chain and branched hydrocarbons ranging from ~l~H38 to C32~66 and solidify between about 27 degrees C and about 70 degrees C (between about 80.5 degrees F and about 158 degrees F).
According to this invention, the preferred 2CI paraffin waxes have melting points in the range of about 50 degrees C to about 70 degrees C, more preferably from 55 degrees C to 65 degrees C, for long-term durability of water-repellent properties, however the melting point range is not critical~
The aqueous wax dispersion also includes a polyethylene wax, which preferably has a number average molecular weight greater than about 10,000.
In the aforementioned '247 patent, it was necessary to stably incorporate the wax in an organic solvent-based solutionJ But since little solvent is used herein and since the waxes used are not themselves water dispersible, the wax dispersion is maintained with the aid of a surfactant.
The sur~actant, which is preferably anionic or nonionic, provides a dispersion of fine particle Jj; '' ~
~ ~2~ ii33~3 size. If the surfactant i5 anionicl a defoaming agent may be employed to reduce bubble formation. If the surfactant is nonionic, a defoaming agent is usually not required. The selection of a particular surfactant, however, i5 not critical to the present invention.
The most common types of anionic surfactants are alkali metal salts of straight chain carboxylic sulfonic acids of about 11 to about 17 carbon atoms.
Other types of compounds frequently used as anionic surfactants are water-soluble salts of amines and fatty acids (triethanolamine oleate); sulfated higher alcohols (sodium lauryl sulfate); sulfonated compounds (sulfonated castor oil) and aromatic petroleum sulfonates.
Anionic surfactants that are useful herein include sodium lauryl sulfate; sodium lauryl sulfonate; sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate; sodium diisopropyl naphthalene sulfonate ~an aerosol acrylaryl sulfonate surfactant that is commercially available from American Cyanamid Co., Wayne, NJ under the product name Aerosol OS may be used); and disodium isodecyl sulfosuccinate, disodium alkyl amidoethanol sulfosuccinate, and disodium alkyl àmido polyethoxy sul~osuccina~e (aerosol disodium monoester sulfosuccinate surfactants available from Ameri~an~
Cyanamid Co. under the product names Aerosol A-~68, Aerosol 413 and Aerosol 200, respectively, may be used). Other suitable anionic surfactants include Lutensit A-ES surfactant, which is commercially available from BASF Corp., Holland, MI.
Particularly suitable surfactants include at least one ammonium or alkali metal salt of a C10 to C22 saturated or unsaturated carboxylic acid; for rk ~2~7G338 example, the sodium and potassium salts of myristic, palmitoleic anA oleic acids.
Suitable nonionic surfactants include ethoxylated nonyl lor dodecyl) phenols which, for example, are commercially available from DeSoto, Inc.~ Des Plaines, IL under the trade name Flo Mo 6N
~or Flo Mo 6D); polyethylene glycol ethers of straight chain fatty alcohols including Arnox 1007 ~~ which is available from the Arjay Chemical Division of Magna Corp., Houston, TX~ and ethoxylated castor oils including Chemax C0-30 which is available from Chemax, Inc., Greenville, SC.
The aqueous emulsion of copolymerized monoethylenically unsaturated monomers having a sufficiently low glass transition temperature to coalesce on air drying is subject to wide variation because so many copolymers are known which are broadly applicable. Acrylic copolymers which comprise monoethylenically unsaturated monomers, at 21) least 50 percent of which are esters of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid with a Cl to C8 alcohol, are particularly contemplated, however, since these copolymers are durable on exterior exposure.
Suitable monoethylenicaLly unsaturated ~5 monomers also include butyl acrylate, vinyl acetate, methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, styrene, ~-ethyl hexylacrylate, vinyl toluene, acrylonitrile, vinylidene chloride and the like.
Minor amounts, generally, less than about 5 percent by weight (based on the weight of the emulsion) of monomers having a functional group other than an ethylenic group, for example, acrylic acid, acrylamide, methylol acrylamlde, aminoacrylates, or hydroxyethyl acrylates, and the like may also be present.
* ~,~le n~a~k .

Preferably the monoethylenically unsaturated monomers are selected so as to produce a copoly~er having a glass ~ransition temperature (Tg) below about room temperature so that the individual copolymer particles, when applied on a selected surface as a coating, will coalesce by ~hemselves to provide a substantially continuous polymeric film without the need to apply external heat.
The aqueous emulsion of copolymerized monoethylenically unsaturated monomers may further include an amount of a water immiscible organic solvent sufficient to lower the Tg, and thus the coalescing temperature~ of the copolymeri~ed monomers to the desired value.
15When using higher glass transition temperature emulsion polymers, especially those having a Tg above 20 degrees C, water immiscible organic soLvents a~e helpful as coalescing agents in amounts of from lrrl5 percent based on the weight of the emulsion. These water-immiscible solvents are illustrated by ester alcohols like 2,2,4 trimethyltentanediol-1,3 monoisobutyrate, mineral spirits, 2-phenoxy ethanol, methyl octyl ketone, 2-ethyl hexanol and aromatic hydrocarbon mixtures such as Solvesso 150.
Any ethylenically unsaturated oil, or fatty acid derived therefrom, may be used herein, including drying oils, semi-drying oils, and the fatty acids therein. These are illustrated by dehydrated castor oil, linseed oil, linseed fatty acid and the like.
These oils are used as emulsions in water using surfactants well known for the purpose, as illustrated previously. The preferred surfactants include polysorbitan esters, as is also well known.

. . ,li i ~%7~33~3 The drying catalysts may be any of those customarily used to speed the oxidative drying of unsaturated oilsO These are usually octoates or naphthenates of metals, especially cobalt. The catalyst is normally used in an amount of 0.01 percent to 2 percent of the weight of the oil.
While several aqueous components are combined ~o form the present coating composition, all proportions expressed herein are by weight based on the solids content of the particular components, except in the examples.
The composition may also include pigments, preferably comprising finely divided silica in admixture with a platy clay. The pigment masks any observable blushing of the coating. Blushing is the tendency of a coating to whiten or become opaque upon exposure to moisture. Thickeners, such as hydroxyethyl cellulose, may be employed to provide the desired coating rheology. Preservatives may also be present as well as defoamers to minimize foaming as the various components are blended together. The ~se of such materials will be apparent to those skilled in the art, but those materials are not essential aspects of this invention. The foregoing proportions do not include the weight of any pigment (or thickener, preservative or defoamer~ that may be present .
The specified combination o~ components enables a large propor~ion o~ wax solids to be s~ably incorporated into an aqueous medium which solidi~ies on air drying to provide a continuous and durable water-repellent film. The wax slowly and progressively exudes to the surface of the coating over a long period of time to provide the desired long-term water resistance. Moreover, the mixture of ~.2~7~33~
paraffin wax and polyethylene wax with the aqueous emulsion of copoly~erized monoethylenically unsaturated monomers provides a durable film having immediate water-repellent properties.

Particularly suitable surfactants include at least one ammonium or alkali metal salt of a C10 to C22 saturated or unsaturated carboxylic acid; for rk ~2~7G338 example, the sodium and potassium salts of myristic, palmitoleic anA oleic acids.
Suitable nonionic surfactants include ethoxylated nonyl lor dodecyl) phenols which, for example, are commercially available from DeSoto, Inc.~ Des Plaines, IL under the trade name Flo Mo 6N
~or Flo Mo 6D); polyethylene glycol ethers of straight chain fatty alcohols including Arnox 1007 ~~ which is available from the Arjay Chemical Division of Magna Corp., Houston, TX~ and ethoxylated castor oils including Chemax C0-30 which is available from Chemax, Inc., Greenville, SC.
The aqueous emulsion of copolymerized monoethylenically unsaturated monomers having a sufficiently low glass transition temperature to coalesce on air drying is subject to wide variation because so many copolymers are known which are broadly applicable. Acrylic copolymers which comprise monoethylenically unsaturated monomers, at 21) least 50 percent of which are esters of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid with a Cl to C8 alcohol, are particularly contemplated, however, since these copolymers are durable on exterior exposure.
Suitable monoethylenicaLly unsaturated ~5 monomers also include butyl acrylate, vinyl acetate, methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, styrene, ~-ethyl hexylacrylate, vinyl toluene, acrylonitrile, vinylidene chloride and the like.
Minor amounts, generally, less than about 5 percent by weight (based on the weight of the emulsion) of monomers having a functional group other than an ethylenic group, for example, acrylic acid, acrylamide, methylol acrylamlde, aminoacrylates, or hydroxyethyl acrylates, and the like may also be present.

Preferably the monoethylenically unsaturated monomers are selected so as to produce a copoly~er having a glass ~ransition temperature (Tg) below about room temperature so that the individual copolymer particles, when applied on a selected surface as a coating, will coalesce by ~hemselves to provide a substantially continuous polymeric film without the need to apply external heat.
The aqueous emulsion of copolymerized monoethylenically unsaturated monomers may further include an amount of a water immiscible organic solvent sufficient to lower the Tg, and thus the coalescing temperature~ of the copolymeri~ed monomers to the desired value.
15When using higher glass transition temperature emulsion polymers, especially those having a Tg above 20 degrees C, water immiscible organic soLvents a~e helpful as coalescing agents in amounts of from lrrl5 percent based on the weight of the emulsion. These water-immiscible solvents are illustrated by ester alcohols like 2,2,4 trimethyltentanediol-1,3 monoisobutyrate, mineral spirits, 2-phenoxy ethanol, methyl octyl ketone, 2-ethyl hexanol and aromatic hydrocarbon mixtures such as Solvesso 150.
Any ethylenically unsaturated oil, or fatty acid derived therefrom, may be used herein, including drying oils, semi-drying oils, and the fatty acids therein. These are illustrated by dehydrated castor oil, linseed oil, linseed fatty acid and the like.
These oils are used as emulsions in water using surfactants well known for the purpose, as illustrated previously. The preferred surfactants include polysorbitan esters, as is also well known.

. . ,li i ~%7~33~3 The drying catalysts may be any of those customarily used to speed the oxidative drying of unsaturated oilsO These are usually octoates or naphthenates of metals, especially cobalt. The catalyst is normally used in an amount of 0.01 percent to 2 percent of the weight of the oil.
While several aqueous components are combined ~o form the present coating composition, all proportions expressed herein are by weight based on the solids content of the particular components, except in the examples.
The composition may also include pigments, preferably comprising finely divided silica in admixture with a platy clay. The pigment masks any observable blushing of the coating. Blushing is the tendency of a coating to whiten or become opaque upon exposure to moisture. Thickeners, such as hydroxyethyl cellulose, may be employed to provide the desired coating rheology. Preservatives may also be present as well as defoamers to minimize foaming as the various components are blended together. The ~se of such materials will be apparent to those skilled in the art, but those materials are not essential aspects of this invention. The foregoing proportions do not include the weight of any pigment (or thickener, preservative or defoamer~ that may be present .
The specified combination o~ components enables a large propor~ion o~ wax solids to be s~ably incorporated into an aqueous medium which solidi~ies on air drying to provide a continuous and durable water-repellent film. The wax slowly and progressively exudes to the surface of the coating over a long period of time to provide the desired long-term water resistance. Moreover, the mixture of ~.2~7~33~
paraffin wax and polyethylene wax with the aqueous emulsion of copoly~erized monoethylenically unsaturated monomers provides a durable film having immediate water-repellent properties.
