Abstract

A chain component part has a first coating film formed on an iron base material using a water-based rust preventive paint containing a water-based rust preventive pigment containing a nitrate and having good storing stability. Since zinc is eluted earlier, generation of red rust caused by iron is suppressed, and thus durability is improved. A roller chain includes a zinc-iron alloy ground layer formed on an iron base material by impact zinc plating, a first coating film formed using the water-based rust preventive paint, and a second coating film formed using a water-based top coat paint containing a water-based pigment and a water-soluble or hydrolyzable silane coupling agent containing an amino group.

Claims (35)

1. A rust preventive pigment comprising

powder of a base metal containing zinc,

an organic compound containing a mercapto group and coating said powder of the base metal, and

a nitrate, which promotes coating of said organic compound to said powder of the base metal, comprising potassium nitrate, calcium nitrate, magnesium nitrate, nickel nitrate, or cobalt nitrate,

wherein the amount of the organic compound to 100 parts by mass of the base metal powder is in a range of 1 to 13 parts by mass and the amount of the nitrate to 100 parts by mass of the base metal powder is in a range of 0.1 to 10 parts by mass.

2. The rust preventive pigment according to claim 1 , further comprising a magnesium compound.

3. A water-based rust preventive paint comprising the rust preventive pigment according to claim 2 .

4. A highly corrosion resistant surface-treated chain, wherein said chain is constructed by a pair of outer link plates and a pair of inner link plates connected alternately,

parts including said outer link plates and said inner link plates are made of an iron base material, and

a first coating film is formed on the iron base material of said parts using the water-based rust preventive paint according to claim 3 .

5. The rust preventive pigment according to claim 1 , wherein said nitrate is magnesium nitrate or nickel nitrate.

6. A water-based rust preventive paint comprising the rust preventive pigment according to claim 5 .

7. A highly corrosion resistant surface-treated chain, wherein said chain is constructed by a pair of outer link plates and a pair of inner link plates connected alternately,

parts including said outer link plates and said inner link plates are made of an iron base material, and

a first coating film is formed on the iron base material of said parts using the water-based rust preventive paint according to claim 6 .

8. A water-based rust preventive paint comprising the rust preventive pigment according to claim 1 .

9. The water-based rust preventive paint according to claim 8 , further comprising a rust preventive pigment containing aluminum.

10. The water-based rust preventive paint according to claim 9 , further comprising colloidal silica.

11. A highly corrosion resistant surface-treated chain, wherein said chain is constructed by a pair of outer link plates and a pair of inner link plates connected alternately,

parts including said outer link plates and said inner link plates are made of an iron base material, and

a first coating film is formed on the iron base material of said parts using the water-based rust preventive paint according to claim 10 .

12. A highly corrosion resistant surface-treated chain, wherein said chain is constructed by a pair of outer link plates and a pair of inner link plates connected alternately,

parts including said outer link plates and said inner link plates are made of an iron base material, and

a first coating film is formed on the iron base material of said parts using the water-based rust preventive paint according to claim 9 .

13. A highly corrosion resistant surface-treated chain,

wherein said chain is constructed by a pair of outer link plates and a pair of inner link plates connected alternately,

parts including said outer link plates and said inner link plates are made of an iron base material, and

a first coating film is formed on the iron base material of said parts using the water-based rust preventive paint according to claim 8 .

14. The highly corrosion resistant surface-treated chain according to claim 13 , comprising a zinc-iron alloy ground layer formed between said iron base material and said first coating film by impact zinc plating.

15. The highly corrosion resistant surface-treated chain according to claim 14 , comprising a second coating film formed on said first coating film using a water-based top coat paint containing a pigment and a water-soluble or hydrolyzable silane coupling agent containing an amino group.

16. The highly corrosion resistant surface-treated chain according to claim 15 , wherein said water-based top coat paint further comprises a tungsten compound, hydroxy apatite, and a pearl pigment.

17. The highly corrosion resistant surface-treated chain according to claim 16 , wherein said water-based top coat paint further comprises lithium silicate.

18. The highly corrosion resistant surface-treated chain according to claim 13 , comprising a second coating film formed on said first coating film using a water-based top coat paint containing a pigment and a water-soluble or hydrolyzable silane coupling agent containing an amino group.

19. The highly corrosion resistant surface-treated chain according to claim 18 , wherein said water-based top coat paint further comprises a tungsten compound, hydroxy apatite, and a pearl pigment.

20. The highly corrosion resistant surface-treated chain according to claim 19 , wherein said water-based top coat paint further comprises lithium silicate.
