Abstract

The present invention provides a paint formulation that has good storage stability and weather resistance, and that is capable of forming a paint film having excellent water resistance, chemical resistance such as gasohol resistance and fuel resistance, and adhesion. The paint formulation comprises an acid-modified polyolefin (A) and a tackifier (B), and satisfies the following (a) and (b): (a) the acid-modified polyolefin (A) has crystallinity; and (b) the tackifier (B) has a double-bond equivalent of 40 or more, as defined by the formula: double-bond equivalent=weight average molecular weight/number of double bonds in a molecule, or contains no double bond.

Claims (10)

1. A paint formulation comprising an acid-modified polyolefin (A) and a tackifier (B), and satisfying the following (a) and (b):

(a) the acid-modified polyolefin (A) has crystallinity; and

(b) the tackifier (B) has a double-bond equivalent of 40 or more, as defined by the formula: double-bond equivalent=weight average molecular weight/number of double bonds in a molecule, or contains no double bond,

wherein the paint formulation comprises the tackifier (B) in an amount of 60 to 400 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the acid-modified polyolefin (A).

2. The paint formulation according to claim 1 , wherein the paint formulation further comprises a hydrocarbon-based solvent (C) in an amount of 200 to 3000 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the acid-modified polyolefin (A).

3. The paint formulation according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one solvent selected from the group consisting of an ester-based solvent (D1) and a ketone-based solvent (D2).

4. The paint formulation according to claim 1 , wherein the acid-modified polyolefin (A) has an acid value of 5 to 40 mgKOH/g-resin.

5. The paint formulation according to claim 1 , wherein the acid-modified polyolefin (A) has a weight average molecular weight of 10,000 to 200,000.

6. The paint formulation according to claim 1 , further comprising an alcohol-based solvent (E).

7. A primer paint for a polyolefin substrate, comprising the paint formulation according to claim 1 .
