Stain compositions and related coated substrates
Disclosed are dryable stain compositions, such as wiping stains, that include a binder including a mixture of an alkyd resin and a drying and/or semi-drying oil, wherein the stain composition (a) includes no more than 100 grams of volatile organic material per liter of the stain composition, and (b) is substantially free of water. Also disclosed are porous substrates at least partially coated with such stain compositions, methods for staining at least a portion of a porous substrate with such stain compositions, and porous substrates at least partially coated with a multi-layer composite coating system wherein at least one coating layer is deposited from such a stain composition.
1. A dryable stain composition comprising a cure-promoting catalyst and a binder comprising a mixture of an alkyd resin and a drying and/or semi-drying oil, wherein the stain composition: (a) comprises less than 100 grams of volatile organic material per liter of the stain composition; and (b) is substantially free of water.
2. The stain composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is a wiping stain composition.
3. The stain composition of claim 1 , wherein the alkyd resin is capable of undergoing oxidative cure.
4. The stain composition of claim 1 , wherein the alkyd resin is pourable at one hundred percent solids.
5. The stain composition of claim 1 , wherein the drying and/or semi-drying oil comprises soya oil and/or linseed oil.
6. The stain composition of claim 1 , wherein the alkyd resin is present in an amount of 10 up to 60 percent by weight and the drying and/or semi-drying oil is present in an amount of 40 up to 90 percent by weight, with the percents by weight being based on the total weight of the stain composition.
7. The stain composition of claim 1 , wherein the stain composition is substantially free of any non-drying oil.
8. The stain composition of claim 1 , further comprising a colorant.
9. The stain composition of claim 1 , wherein the stain composition comprises no more than 50 grams of volatile organic material per liter of the stain composition.
10. The stain composition of claim 9 , wherein the stain composition comprises no more than 25 grams of volatile organic material per liter of the stain composition.
11. The stain composition of claim 1 , wherein the stain composition has an open time of at least 15 minutes.
12. The stain composition of claim 1 , wherein the stain composition dries within 24 hours after application to a substrate.
13. The stain composition of claim 1 , wherein the stain composition dries within 12 hours after application to a substrate.
14. A method for at least partially coating a porous substrate comprising applying the stain composition of claim 1 to at least a portion of the substrate and allowing the stain composition to oxidatively cure.
15. A dryable wiping stain composition comprising a cure-promoting catalyst and a binder comprising a mixture of an alkyd resin, a drying and/or semi-drying oil, and up to 20 percent by weight of a non-drying oil based on the total weight of the stain composition, wherein the stain composition: (a) comprises less than 250 grams of volatile organic material per liter of the stain composition; and (b) is substantially free of water and (meth)acrylates.
16. The stain composition of claim 15 , wherein the alkyd resin is pourable at one hundred percent solids.
17. The stain composition of claim 15 , wherein the alkyd resin is present in an amount of 10 up to 60 percent by weight and the drying and/or semi-drying oil is present in an amount of 40 up to 90 percent by weight, with the percents by weight being based on the total weight of the stain composition.
18. The stain composition of claim 15 , wherein the stain composition is substantially free of any non-drying oil.
19. The stain composition of claim 15 , wherein the stain composition comprises no more than 100 grams of volatile organic material per liter of the stain composition.
