Abstract

A concentrated solution (liquid concentrate) for preparing a surface conditioner, a surface conditioner (a treatment solution for preparing a surface), which have the excellent stability of dispersion and a method of a surface conditioning using this surface conditioner are provided. The concentrated solution for preparing a surface conditioner contains zinc phosphate particles and has a pH of 3 to 12. The zinc phosphate particles are of D 50 3 μm or less and the concentrated solution for preparing a surface conditioner contains a laminar clay mineral.

Claims (14)

1. A concentrated solution for preparing a surface conditioner containing zinc phosphate particles and having a pH of 3 to 12, wherein

said zinc phosphate particles have D 50 of 3 μm or less and comprise 3 to 60% by weight of said concentrated solution; and

said concentrated solution for preparing a surface conditioner contains 0.1 to 20% by weight of a laminar clay mineral, said laminar clay material being a natural hectorite and/or a synthetic hectorite.

2. A concentrated solution for preparing a surface conditioner containing zinc phosphate particles and having a pH of 3 to 12, wherein said zinc phosphate particles have D 50 of 3 μm or less and comprise 3 to 60% by weight of said concentrated solution; and

said concentrated solution for preparing a surface conditioner contains 0.1 to 20% by weight of a bentonite surface treated with alkyltrialkoxysilane expressed by the following formula (I);

in the formula (I), R 1 is a saturated alkyl group having 1 to 22 carbon atoms, and R 2 s are identical to or different from one another, each R 2 being and a methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl group.

3. A surface conditioner containing zinc phosphate particles and having a pH of 3 to 12,

wherein said zinc phosphate particles have D 50 of 3 μm or less and comprise 50 to 20000 ppm of said surface conditioner; and

said surface conditioner contains 3 to 600 ppm of a laminar clay mineral, said laminar clay mineral being a natural hectorite and/or a synthetic hectorite.

4. A surface conditioner containing zinc phosphate particles and having a pH of 3 to 12, wherein

said zinc phosphate particles have D 50 of 3 μm or less and comprise 50 to 20000 ppm of said surface conditioner; and

said surface conditioner contains 3 to 600 ppm of bentonite surface treated with alkyltrialkoxysilane expressed by the following formula (I);

in the formula (I), R 1 is a saturated alkyl group having 1 to 22 carbon atoms, and R 2 s are identical to or different from one another, each R 2 being a methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl group.

5. A method of surface conditioning comprising bringing the surface conditioner according to claim 3 or claim 4 into contact with a metal surface.
