Abstract

Abstract When polyurethane paint compositions are applied to natural or synthetic rubbers, as the paint composition dries and cures, the paint may "orange-peel," i.e. it wrinkles or beads without separating from the rubber. It has been found that by adding a small amount of a rubber to such a paint, such orange-peeling is prevented.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 61 words
In a cured rubber surface to which is adhered a solid coating of a polyurethane prepolymer derived from a polyol and an isocyanate, which prepolymer is cured with an amine curing agent and contains an adhesion promoter, the improvement in which in the coating, there is 3 to 10 parts of a polystyrene-polybutadiene-polystyrene block copolymer to prevent the coating from orange-peeling.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 61 words
In a cured rubber surface to which is adhered a solid coating of a polyurethane prepolymer derived from a polyol and an isocyanate, which prepolymer is cured with an amine curing agent and contains an adhesion promoter, the improvement in which in the coating, there is 3 to 10 parts of a polystyrene-polybutadiene-polystyrene block copolymer to prevent the coating from orange-peeling.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 16 words
The coated rubber of claim 1 in which the polyurethane is derived from a butadiene diol.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 16 words
The coated rubber of claim 1 in which the polyurethane is derived from a polytetrahydrofuran diol.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 16 words
The coated rubber of claim 1 in which the polyurethane is derived from a polypropylene glycol.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 16 words
The coated rubber of claim 1 in which the polyurethane is prepared from a polyester diol.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 22 words
The coated rubber of claim 1 in which the polyurethane is derived from a hydrogenated polybutadiene or a hydrogenated butadiene-styrene copolymer urethane.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 21 words
The coated rubber of claim 1 in which the rubber surface is the surface of the sidewall of a pneumatic tire.
