Abstract
Abstract A water base, hardenable coating composition is disclosed for use on the inner or air conducting surfaces of fibrous glass thermal insulation employed in heating, cooling or ventilating conduits. The coating comprises, by weight: 70% to 90% of aluminum or magnesium hydrate; 5 to 20% of a binder such as vinyl acrylic latex or polyethylene vinyl acetate latex; and 1 to 10% of a flame retardant such as a sodium borate or boric acid.

A coating composition for use on fibrous glass thermal insulation comprising an aqueous dispersion of coating solids, said solids, by weight, consisting essentially of: a. 70 to 90% of a flame retardant filler selected from the group consisting of aluminum hydrate or magnesium hydrate or a combination thereof; b. 5 to 20% of a binder selected from the group consisting of a latex of a copolymer of vinyl acetate and butyl acrylate, a copolymer of vinyl acetate and ethylene or a combination thereof; and c. 1 to 10% of a water soluble fire retardant borate selected from the group consisting of sodium borate or boric acid or a combination thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
110 words
A coating composition for use on fibrous glass thermal insulation comprising an aqueous dispersion of coating solids, said solids, by weight, consisting essentially of: a. 70 to 90% of a flame retardant filler selected from the group consisting of aluminum hydrate or magnesium hydrate or a combination thereof; b. 5 to 20% of a binder selected from the group consisting of a latex of a copolymer of vinyl acetate and butyl acrylate, a copolymer of vinyl acetate and ethylene or a combination thereof; and c. 1 to 10% of a water soluble fire retardant borate selected from the group consisting of sodium borate or boric acid or a combination thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
The coating of claim 1 wherein said filler has a particle size such that, on a dry basis, at least 70% of said filler will pass through a 325 mesh screen.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim

Claim 5
Dependent Claim
110 words
A coating composition for use on fibrous glass thermal insulation comprising an aqueous dispersion of coating solids, said solids, by weight, consisting essentially of: a. 80 to 85% of a flame retardant filler selected from the group consisting of aluminum hydrate or magnesium hydrate or a combination thereof; b. 10 to 15% of a binder selected from the group consisting of a latex of a copolymer of vinyl acetate and butyl acrylate, a copolymer of vinyl acetate and ethylene or a combination thereof; and c. 2 to 4% of a water soluble fire retardant borate selected from the group consisting of sodium borate or boric acid or a combination thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
110 words
A coating composition for use on fibrous glass thermal insulation comprising an aqueous dispersion of coating solids, said solids, by weight, consisting essentially of: a. 80 to 85% of a flame retardant filler selected from the group consisting of aluminum hydrate or magnesium hydrate or a combination thereof; b. 10 to 15% of a binder selected from the group consisting of a latex of a copolymer of vinyl acetate and butyl acrylate, a copolymer of vinyl acetate and ethylene or a combination thereof; and c. 2 to 4% of a water soluble fire retardant borate selected from the group consisting of sodium borate or boric acid or a combination thereof.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
31 words
