Abstract

An acrylic emulsion is disclosed. The emulsion comprises from about 30% to about 90% by weight of water, about 10% to about 70% by weight of an acrylic polymer, about 0.2% to about 10% by weight of a emulsifying agent, and up to 20% by weight of an organic solvent. The acrylic polymer contains from about 20% to about 80% by weight of recurring units of t-butyl acrylate or methacrylate. Latex coatings formulated from the acrylic emulsion show significantly improved resistance to moisture and corrosion.

Claims (12)

1. A latex coating comprising

(a) from about 30% to about 90% by weight of water;

(b) from about 10% to about 70% by weight of an acrylic polymer that consists essentially of 20% to 80% by weight of recurring units of t-butyl acrylate or methacrylate, 1% to 20% by weight of recurring units of acrylic or methacrylic acid, and up to 79% of recurring units of a C 1 -C 10 alkyl acrylate or methacrylate having a Tg lower than 25° C.;

(c) from about 0.2% to about 10% by weight of a emulsifying agent;

(d) up to 20% by weight of an organic solvent;

(e) up to 60% by weight of a pigment; and

(f) from 1 to 30% by weight of a crosslinker,

wherein the coating has improved moisture and corrosion resistance.

2. The latex coating of claim 1 wherein the acrylic polymer has an acid number greater than about 2 mg KOH/g.

3. The latex coating of claim 1 wherein the organic solvent is an alcohol.

4. The latex coating of claim 1 wherein the pigment is titanium dioxide.

5. The latex coating of the claim 1 wherein the crosslinker is a melamine compound or a blocked isocyanate.
