Description

DISCOLORATION-RESISTANT ARTICLES FOR APPLYING COLOR ON SURFACES
AND METHODS OF REDUCING DISCOLORATION IN ARTICLES FOR APPLYING
COLOR ON SURFACES
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to articles and methods for applying color on a surface and, more particularly, to articles for applying color to a surface that resist discoloration arising from transfer of extraneous agents, such as extraneous dyes and pigments, from the surface to which the article is applied and methods of mitigating or preventing the transfer of extraneous agents responsible for the discoloration.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Thin sheets of visually-perceivable color effects, such as a dry color component, may be adhesively secured to a surface by a bonding layer, typically adhesive, for applying color.
Foreign substances or agents in or on the surface, such as pigments in a paint coating, may be solubilized (i.e., dissolve) into the bonding layer and transferred as a permeant to the sheet of visually-perceivable color effects. The presence of certain extraneous agents, originating Crom the surface and transfewed to the sheet, in the sheet of visually-perceivable color effects may result in discoloration of the color effect provided by the article. For example, discoloration may be produced by organic pigments found in common wall paints that are partially solubolized by the bonding layer and subsequently migrate through the bonding layer into the sheet of visually-perceivable color effects. For example, the sheet may be yellowed by the migration of mono-azo based pigments from the surface. Often, the sheet of visually-perceivable color effects includes a topcaat that may inhibit volatilization and release of the extraneous agent from the article and, thereby, hasten accumulation of the extraneous agent in the sheet and the concomitant discoloration. The concentration of the extraneous agent in the sheet Of VlSLlally-perCelvable CO101' effects and, hence, the degree of discoloration increases over the lifetime of the article. Elevated temperattue and low molecular weight components in the paint such as ethylene glycol, coalescing aids, and water may accelerate the transfer of the extraneous agent, which would likewise accelerate the discoloration.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with the principles of the invention, an article is provided for conveying visually-perceivable color effects to a surface containing a extraneous agent.
The article generally includes a sheet of visually-perceivable color effects, a bonding agent carried by the sheet capable of bonding the sheet to the surface, and a releasable liner removably covering the sheet. In one aspect of the invention, the article may include a barrier layer disposed between the sheet and the bonding agent. The barrier layer is effective for reducing transfer of the extraneous agent from the surface to the sheet. In various specific embodiments, the barrier layer may include a glass-coated polymer, a ceramic-coated polymer, a sodium silicate-containing composition, at least one of an anionic layer and a cationic layer, or a nanocomposite. The barrier layer may optionally incorporate a non-woven material, a metallized material, a cellulosic material, and/or a polymer 1 ayes.
Alternatively or in addition to the barrier layer, the sheet, the bonding agent, a tie layer, and/or the barrier layer of the article may include a scavenger material capable of scavenging the extraneous agent to reduce transfer of the extraneous agent from the surface to the sheet. In yet other alternative embodiments, the sheet, the bonding agent, a tie layer, and/or the barrier layer of the article may include a neutralizing agent capable of modifying the extraneous agent to reduce transfer of the extraneous agent from the surface to the sheet. In yet another embodiment of the invention, an article for conveying visually-perceivable color effects to a surface containing a extraneous agent, the bolldlllg agent of the article has a solubility for the extraneous agent that differs substantially from a solubility of the extraneous agent in the surface. In yet another embodiment of the invention, the bonding agent controls discoloration.
In accordance with the invention, a method is provided for preventing alld reducing the discoloration of a layered article for conveying visually-perceivable color effects. The method includes adapting the layered article for application to a surface containing an extraneous agent and modifying the layered article to reduce the transfer of the extraneous agent from the surt~ace to a portion of the layered article providing the visually-perceivable color effects by either adding a barrier layer, a scavenger material, and/or a neutralizing agent to one or more layers of the layered article, or by adjusting a solubility of the extraneous agent in one or more layers of the layered article to differ substantially from a solubility of the extraneous agent in the surface.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION ~F THE INVENTION
The invention is directed to articles and methods for applying color on a surface ill which the material providing the color is protected against discoloration arising from extraneous agents migrating, diffusing or blooming from the surface to which the article is applied into the portion of the article supplying the color. As employed herein, the term "color" is used to refer to a color effect, i.e., a difference in color perception. In a specific embodiment, the color effect is a substantially permanent color effect, i.e., a color effect which is not removed or noticeably reduced upon casual contact, light washing, or the like. Thus, a substantially pel-Inanent color effect is distinguished from a temporary color effect which can be easily removed or reduced, such as that provided by chalk or crayons. The term "color component" is used herein to refer to the component of the inventive articles that provides the color effect. A
topcoat or overcoat may also be applied over the color layer. It is to be understood that, in use, the article may provide other fiu lctional effects to the surface as well. The primary function of the article is not limited to providing color or other aesthetic effects.
The term "surface" is used herein to refer to any outer layer or boundary of an object or substrate which is capable of receiving a color component thereon. Suitable surfaces may be substantially two-dimensional and flat or substantially three-dimensional alld including curves, angled portions or the like. In one embodiment, the surface to which color component is applied using the articles and methods of the invention comprises an architectural surface, i.e., a surface of a building, a building fixture (i.e., appliances), furniture, and the like.
The architectural building surface may be an interior surface within the building or an exterior surface on an outer portion of the building. Substantially three-dimensional architectural surfaces can include, for example, edge treatments of two-dimensional surfaces such as moldings (e.g., moldings around windows or doorways), floorboards, appliances, furniture, floors, counters, and the like. The architectural surface may be permanently installed or may be temporarily installed or portable.
The products of the present invention can further be applied to surfaces of articles to give them the same or different texture and/or appearance of architectural surfaces. For example, the products hereof can be used to apply a color layer to appliances, furniture, and other architectural articles. Additional surfaces suitable for application of color using the articles and methods of the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art in view of the present disclosure.
With reference to FICi. 1 and in accordance with the principles of the invention, an article for applying color on a surface 16 comprises a sheet 12 of visually-perceivable color effccis, such as a dry color component, a bonding agent 14, such as an adhesive, a releasable liner 18 covering the sheet 12, and a barrier layer 20 situated between the bonding agent 14. The sheet may inchlde a topcoat 15 formed of any suitable material including, but not limited, polymers such as polyurethanes, polyvinyl chlorides, polyvinylidine fluorides, polyacrylates, cellttlosic materials and the like, as well as blends and copolymers thereof. The bonding agent is any substance capable of adhering the sheet 12 to the surface 16 at the ambient temperature of environment of the article 10. In certain embodiments of the invention, the sheet 12 may have a thickness of less than or equal to about 0.0033 inch (3.3 mils or 0.084 mm).
The releasable liner 18 is removable and is intended, and adapted, for I'elnOVal 51171L11ta11e0t1Sly with application, or subsequent to application, of the sheet 12 to the surface 16.
Typically, the releasable liner 18 is removed by peeling liner 18 from sheet 12. The releasable liner 18 provides structural support and/or strength to the sheet 12, for example when the releasable liner is in film form, and/or to facilitate handling of the article during manufacture, storage and use and may optionally be used to convey a finish to the sheet 12.
Exemplary articles 10 are described in commonly-assigned Application Serial No. 10/324,237 entitled "Articles and Methods for Applying Color on Surfaces," the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

by way of example, and not by way of limitation, t0 estab11511 a frame of reference. It is understood various other frames of reference may be employed without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
With continued reference to FIG. 1, the barrier layer 20, may be a prophylactic barrier layer 20 and operates to either eliminate or, at the least, substantially retard the transfer, by mechanisms including but not limited to diffusion and migration, into the sheet 12 of a extraneous (e.g., foreign) substance or agent, diagrammatically shown and labeled with reference numeral 21 in FIG. 1, originating from the surface 16 to be colored. The extraneous agent 21 is understood to be an agent that would be extraneous by its presence with a (mite concentration in sheet 12 or would be considered extraneous by increasing an existing concentration of the agent normally present in sheet 12. ~ne such extraneous agent 21 is an organic pigment or dye present in an existing layer, such as an existing paint layer, residing on or covering the surface 16 before the article 10 is applied and with which the bonding agent 14 is mechanically coupled for bonding the article 10 to the surface 16.
The barrier layer 20 may act as a physical barrier that blocks, prohibits or otherwise prevents transfer by defining an impervious or impermeable barrier to the passage or permeation of the extraneous agent 21 so as to prevent or lessen degradation of a property of the article I 2, such as preventing the occurrence of discoloration. Alternatively, the barrier layer 20 may slow or retard the transfer rate of the extraneous agent 21 so that a property of sheet 12, such as color, is not perceptibly affected over at least the lifetime of the article 10 for pi°oviding surface 16 with color. The thickness and properties of the barrier layer 20 are adjusted to provide the desired blocking or retardation. The barrier layer 20 has a thickness less than or equal to about 0.0025 (2.5 mils or 0.064 mm) and, in certain embodiments of the invention, the barrier layer 20 may be 0.001 inch (0.1 mils or 0.025 mm) or thinner.
The barrier layer 20 is illustrated in FIG. 1 as being incorporated as an identifiable layer, stratum or lamina in the layered strucW re of article 10. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, a barrier layer 20a, characterized by properties identical to barrier layer 20, may be incorporated as a component of the bonding agent 14. In yet another alternative embodiment, a barrier layer 20b, characterized by properties identical to barrier layer 20, may be incorporated as a component of the sheet 12. The barrier layers 20a and 20b may be segregated as a layer, stratum or lamina positioned within the thickness of the bonding agent 14 or sheet 12, respectively, or may be distributed uniformly throughout the thickness of the corresponding one of the bonding agent 14 or sheet 12. The barrier layers 20, 20a and 20b may be employed individually or incoiporated~into article 10 in any permutation or combination. Each of the barrier layers 20, 20a and 20b may combine two or more of the candidate materials described herein. The properties of barrier layer 20 described herein are understood to apply equally to barrier layers 20a and 20b.
Generally, the characteristics and properties required for the ban~ier layer 20 will depend among other things upon the identity of the extraneous agent 21 and its transport mechanism in the barrier layer 20. Several factors are known to influence transport properties of an agent, such as extraneous agent 21, in a material, such as barrier layer 20. The chemical nature of the polymers forming barrier layer 20 influences transport as extraneous agent transfer is believed decrease with increasing strength of the forces holding the polymer chains together. The polymer backbone is recognized to be an important factor in determining the chain-to-chain forces.
Polymer chains have to move aside, or open up, to permit agent transfer or permeation. Polymers with hydroxyl, cyano, halogen, ester, and amide linleages are exemplary candidate materials f'or barrier layer 20, although the invention is not so limited. Generally, any polymer having a glass transition temperature that exceeds the ambient temperature conditions of the environment of the surface 16 to which article 10 is applied will have adequate chain-to-chain force strength.
Another factor influencing the transport of extraneous agent 2l in barriei° layer 20 is the susceptibility of the polymer forning the barrier layer 20 to moisture.
The barrier properties of polar materials that depend on hydrogen bonding for their barrier properties will diminish in the presence of water. Water swells the polymer, which reduces the chain-to-chain forces and allows permeation. Polymers characterized by such polar linkages include, but are not limited to, esters and cyano.
Yet another factor that affects the transport of extraneous agent 21 in barrier layer 20 is the degree of packing, crystallinity, and orientation of a polymer constituting barrier layer 20.
Increasing the crystallinity of barrier layer 20 improves barrier properties as the free volume decreases. Increasing the orientation also improves barrier properties, as the path for agent transfer becomes more tortuous path. However, material stiffness also increases with increasing crystallinity and orientation, which reduces the flexibility of the article 10.
Yet another factor that influences the transport of extraneous agent 21 in barrier layer 20 is the naW re of the polymer surface contacting the sheet 12 or bonding agent 14. Hydrophilic or hydrophobic surfaces and/or polar or nonpolar surfaces can prevent or, at the least reduce or retard, the transfer of the extraneous agent 21 from surface 16.

Another factor influencing the transport of extraneous agent 21 in barrier layer 20 is the presence of additives and modifiers, Additives typically act to reduce the chain-to-chain forces malting the polymers flexible and, therefore, increasing permeation. Blending a polymer with poor barrier properties with one that has acceptable barrier properties will increase the barrier of the poor barrier material.
In one specific embodiment of the invention, the barrier layer 20 has a composition of abput 3 percent by weight to about 40 percent by weight water-glass or sodium silicate (NaZSi40z), about 3 percent by weight to about 40 percent by weight polymer, and about 20 percent by weight to about 24 percent by weight water. The use of sodium silicate as a barrier layer is described in U.S. Patent Nos. 1,365,715 and 5,460,855, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in their entirety. The polymer in the composition lends flexibility to such barrier layers 20 and the presence of water dilutes the composition to facilitate a coating application process. Sodium silicate is manufactures by combining or fusing various ratios of sand and soda ash (i.e., sodium carbonate) at high temperature.
In another specific embodiment of the invention, the barrier layer 20 includes at least one of an anionic layer and a cationic layer capable of capturing or trapping the extraneous agent 21.
One technique appropriate for incorporating such anionic and cationic layers iota article 10 is by coating sheet 12 with an aqueous dispersion. Suitable cationic and anionic aqueous dispersions are described in U.S. Patent No. 6,576,327, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. Specific cationic and anionic aqueous dispersions are commercially available, for example, from BASF Aletiengesellschaft (Ludwigshafen, Germany) Lu~der the tradenames ACRONALc~, BUTONAL~, STYROFAN~, and PROPIOFAN~~. The anionic layers are effective for capturing extraneous agents 21 that are positively charged and cationic layers are effective for capturing extraneous agents 21 that are negatively charged.
Frequently, the barrier layer 20 may be constituted by a bilayer or multi-layer structure consisting of spatially-separated anionic and cationic layers so that, regardless of the charge state of the extraneous agent 21, all charged extraneous agent particles are captured and secured against migration into sheet 12. For example, an upstream anionic layer would capture positively-charged extraneous agent particles and transmit negatively-charged foreign particles for capture by a downstream cationic layer more distant from surface 16. Alternatively, the cationic layer of the bilayer or multi-layer structure may be disposed upstream of the anionic layer. Alternatively, either the anionic or cationic layer may be provided in, or mixed as a component of, the bonding agent 14 and the other of the anionic or cationic layer is provided as a separate layer.

WO 2004/074003 _ ..... " PCT/US2004/004504 In yet another specific embodiment of the invention, the barrier layer 20 is a glass-coated polymer. Suitable glass-coated polymers include, but are not limited to, aluminum oxide-coated polyethyleneterephthalate polymers and copolymers, aluminum oxide-coated polypropylene polymers and copolymers, aluminum oxide-coated nylon polymers and copolymers, and combinations of these materials. Such glass coatings are typically transparent inorganic materials.
SLICK glass coatings may be applied, for example, by a plasma-based deposition process.
In yet another specific embodiment of the invention, the barrier layer 20 is a ceramic-coated polymer. One suitable coating material is silicon oxide (SiOx), which may be stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric, that may be deposited by a chenucal vapor deposition process using silane as a precursor source. Suitable ceramic-coated materials include, but are not limited to, silicon oxide-coated oriented polypropylene, silicon oxide-coated polyethyleneterephthalate, silicon oxide-coated oriented polyvinyl alcohol, silicon oxide-coated polypropylene, silicon oxide-coated polyethylene, and combinations thereof.
In yet another specific embodiment of the invention, the barrier layer 20 is a nanoclay-based composite material or plastic nanocomposite that creates a tortuous path that the extraneous agent 21 must successfully traverse to reach the sheet 12. The nanoclay-based composite material is formed by dispersing nanoclay platelet particles, tactoids of individual platelet particles, aggregates of tactoids, or mixtures thereof in a polymer host matrix. The nanoclay platelet particles are arranged a sheet-like structure having the form of a plurality of adjacent, bound layers, in which the planar dimensions are significantly larger than the structure's thickness. In certain embodiments of the invention, the nanoclay loading in the host polymer resin may be greater than about 0.5 percent by weight, Ill other' embodiments of the invention, the nanoclay loading in the host polymer resin may range from about 0.5 percent by weight to about 25 percent by weight. In any event, the nanoclay loading is sufficient to define a tortuous path through the host polymer resins. The individual platelet particles may have a thickness of less than about 2 nm and a diameter in the range of from about 10 nm to about 5000 nm.
The nanoclay platelet particles may be composed of any suitable organic or inorganic material and, in particular, may be composed of a phyllosilicate. Natural phyllosilicates suitable for use in the invention include, but are not limited to smectite clays, such as montmorillonite, saponite, hectorite, mica, vermiculite, bentonite, nontronite, beidellite, volkonskoite, magadite, and kenyaite. Synthetic phyllosilicates suitable for use in the invention include, but are not limited to, synthetic mica, synthetic saponite, and synthetic hectorite.
Either synthetic or natural phyllosilicates may be modified by fluorination or by the addition of an organic canon.

Phyllosilicates suitable for use in the invention are commercially available from various sources, including Nanocor, II1C. (Arlington Heights, Illinois). Host polymer resins suitable for the matrix include, but are not limited to, polyamide polymers and copolymers, polyethyleneterephthalate polymers and copolymers, polypropylene polymers and copolymers, and combinations thereof.
The nanoclay platelet particles may be derived from natural, synthetic, and modified phyllosilicates, which may be treated to allow incorporation of organic canons.
Another nanoclay-based polymer material suitable for use in the invention is the AEGIS
Nanocomposite Barrier Resin, commercially available from Honeywell, which is based upon nylon 6.
Other inorganic platelet particles suitable for use in the nanocomposite include aluminum or zinc platelets that have a thickness of about 3 ltm to 10 )lm and a diameter of about 4 pm to 17 l.un. These inorganic platelet particles may be provided in any polymer host matrix described above in an amount of between about 0.1 percent by weight and 3.5 percent by weight.
Exemplary aluminum platelets are commercially available as aluminum pigment dispersions under the METALURE~~ tradename from Eckhart America L.P. (Louisville, hentuclcy).
In yet another specific enlbodinlent of the invention, the barrier layer 2U or sheet 12 is a formed by a polymer having a crystallinity defining the torturous path. The polymer forming barrier layer 20 should have a glass transition temperature that is greater than the temperature of the article 10 while applied to the surface 16 so that the constihlent polymer has a low free volume available for migration of the extraneous agent 21.
Ill yet a110ther SpeClflC embOdllTlent Of the II1ve11tl0n, tile bOlld111g agent 14 OI' Slleet may have a solubility for the extraneous agent 21 differs substantially from a solubility of the extraneous agent 21 in the surface 16. As a result, the extraneous agent 21 is not readily transferred from the surface 16 to the bonding agent 14. If the extraneous agent is prevented from entering the bonding agent 14, then subsequent transfer cannot occur subsequently from the bonding agent 14 to the sheet 12. In this instance, the bonding agent 14 is operating as the barrier layer 20. The solubility of the extraneous agent 21 in bonding agent 14 may be altered by varying the chemistry of the adhesive to modify the bond strength between constituent molecules of the bonding agent 14.
To improve adhesion between the sheet 12 and the barrier layer 20 and/or between the bonding agent 14 and the barrier layer 20, the appropriate surfaces may be surface treated by either corona treatment, roughening of target surface for increasing surface area, swelling of target surface, intermolecular mixing or mutual diffusion, direct coating of bonding agent, applying heat or pressure during lamination, including a fimctionalized polymer to provide covalent or intermolecular bonds, increasing a surface area of one or more layers by embossing, brushing or other mechanical methods, or by adding particles or by solvent etching, and combinations thereof.
Corona treatment, for example, involves exposing the sheet 12 to a high voltage corona discharge while passing sheet 12 between a pair of spaced electrodes.
The invention contemplates that any of the various types of barrier layers 20 described herein may be used singularly or in compatible combinations. For example, the barrier layer 20 may be constituted by a two-layer struchire including a lamina of nanoclay-based composite material and a lamina containing sodium silicate.
In yet another specific embodiment of the invention, the barrier layer 20 may further include a sheet or film of a polymer that cooperates with barrier layer 20 for reducing transfer of the extraneous agent 21 from the surface 16 to the sheet 12. The polymer film may also be provided as a lamina in the layered structure of the article 10 distinct from barrier layer 20 or, alternatively, as a lamina disposed in the sheet 12 or in the bonding agent 14. In various embodiments, the polymer sheet or film is selected from the group consisting of polyvinylidene chloride polymers and copolymers, polyvinyl alcohol polymers and copolymers, ethylene vinyl alcohol polymers and copolymers, polycholorotrifluoroethylene polymers and copolymers, acrylonitrile methacrylate polymers and copolymers, polyacrylonitrile polymers and copolymers, aromatic polyamide polymers and copolymers, amorphous polyamide polymers and copolymers, polyethyleneterephthalate polymers and copolymers, polyvinyl chloride polymers and copolymers, polyvinylidene fluoride polymers, liquid crystalline polymers and copolymers, polystyrene, polyethylene, acrylic, styrene-acrylic copolymers, alkyd, polyurethane, polypropylene polymers and copolymers, oriented polypropylene polymers and copolymers, cellulosic polymers, copolymers and coatings, aliphatic polyesters, polyhydroxy alkonals, polycaprolactones, polylactic acid, and combinations thereof. The polymer film resists penetration by the extraneous agent 21 so as to assist the barrier layer 20 in blocleing or limiting transfer of extraneous agent 21 to the sheet 12. The invention contemplates that sheet 12 or bonding agent 14 may include one of the listed polymers as a component so a distinct polymer layer is not required in the layered structure of the article 10.
An exemplary polyvinylidene (PVDC) polymer suitable for use as a polymer film in barrier layer 20 is commercially available under the SARAN tradename from The Dow Chemical Company (Midland, Michigan). Exemplary commercial sources of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) include Clariant GmbH (Frankfurt, DE) and E.I. Du Pont De Nemours & Co.
(Wilmington, Delaware). Exemplary ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymers are commercially available under the EVALOO tradename from ICuraray Co., Ltd. (ICurashiki City, Japan) and under the SOARNOLO
tradename from Nippon Gohsei (Osaka, Japan). One suitable polycholorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE) is commercially available under the ACLAROO tradename from Honeywell International Ine. (Morris Township, New Jersey). A suitable acrylonitrile methacrylate copolymer is available commercially under the BAREXOO tradename from BP, p.l.c. (London, England). An exemplary aromatic polyamide is commercially under the MDX6 tradename from Mitsubishi Gas Chemical America Inc. (New York, NY) and also available commercially from sources such as Honeywell International Inc. (Morris Township, New Jersey) and BASF
Aktiengesellscha('t (Ludwigshafen, Germany). Amorphous polyamide suitable for use in the invention is commercially available under the SELARO PA tradename from E.I. Du Pont De Nemours & Co.
(Wilmington, Delaware). An exemplar°y liquid crystalline polymer is commercially available under the VECTRANO tradename from Ticona (Summit, New Jersey).
The polymer(s), copolymers) or (co)polymer blends) of the polymer Elm may optionally be crosslinlced by joining adjacent chains to one another either during synthesis or by a non-reversible chemical reaction. Crosslinlcing may be accomplished by additive atoms or molecules that are covalently bonded to the crosslinlced chains. Crosslinking may also be achieved by weaker chemical interactions, portions of crystallites, and even physical entanglement. Crosslinking may operate to improve the resistance of the barrier layer 20 to the transfer of the extraneous agent 21 from the surface 16 to which article 23 is bonded to sheet 12.
The polymer film may be foamed from either a thermoplastic resin that softens when exposed to heat and returns to its original condition when cooled to room temperatltre or a thermoset resin that sets irreversibly when heated. Thermoset polymer resins are known to be crosslinked, in contrast to thermoplastic resins.
In yet another specific embodiment of the invention, the barrier layer 20 may further incorporate a nonwoven web consisting of a web having an entangled structure of individual synthetic fibers, filaments, threads or staple length polymeric fibers composed of one or more thermoplastic polymers.

The concentration or thickness in the pattern may be modulated either systematically or randomly, and all areas in the article's horizontal plane may have a non-zero concentration or thickness of the barrier layer 20, scavenger material 32 or neutralizing agent 46.

Color change/stability is measure according to the following procedure. A
square sample measuring 7.62 cm per side is provided. The sample is adhesively mounted onto a rigid backing board, being careful to eliminate air bubble and wrinkles. Any overling carrier layer or releasable liner is removed from the sample, exposing the color layer.
The rigid backing board is prepared as follows. A board made of drywall is provided.
The board is painted with a commercially available primer, as is available from Behr Corporation as Behr Premium Plus PVA Drywall Primer & Sealer No. 73 white latex. Upon drying the board is painted with a paint having 49.3 grams/liter of pigment. Suitable paint is commercially available from Behr as Behr, Premium Plus Interior Semi-Gloss Enamel Pastel Base no. 3500. Painting may be accomplished with a synthetic lambskin roller having a nap of about 6.35 mm. The board is disposed on a horizontal surface and primed/painted until the surface has a uniform and even coating of primer/paint. A period of 24 hrs occurs between coats at 50 percent RH and 20 degrees C. A baseline L*A'''B
colorimeter measurement of the sample is made according to ASTM Test Methods E1164 to measure the ample color and E308 to convert the color measurement to L.a.b. scale) A
Minolta CM508d colorimeter with a pulsed Xenon arc lamp has been found suitable. with the following settings:
2°/C ; SCE ; 8mm sample area. After the baseline measurement is taken, the sample is placed in a 60 degree C test oven. The sample is removed hourly and tested for L*A~°B''' again as set Forth above. The hourly testing occurs until the recorded change in the B°'' (referred to as OB~'' ) is less than 10% between consecutive measurements.
An article 10 according to the present invention may have an opacity of at least 99, preferably at least 99.3 and more preferably at least 99.5 measured according to ASTM standard D2805. Furthermore such article may have a thickness of less than 0.084 mm, preferably less than 0.076mm, more preferably less than O.O64mm, more preferably less than 0.05 mm and more preferably less than 0.04~mm measured under a confining load of 8.74 grams with a presser foot diameter of 5 mm. Articles 10 thus made will have an opacity to thickness ratio of at least 40, preferably at least 50 and more preferably at least 55 per mm.
Example 1 Solutions of 10 grams of Hansa Yellow (mono-azo) pigment and 2-propanol (1PA) was prepared. A spectrophotometer was used to find peaks in an absorbance curve of a 10 ppm solution. A principle absorption peak was observed at a wavelength of about 404 nm. All subsequent absorbance readings were made at 404 nm. The absorbance at 404 nm of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 ppm solutions were determined for a calibration curve. Various types of activated carbon (approximately 45 to 63 microns in diameter) were added to the 1O ppnl SOlllt1011, which was stirred continuously on a stir plate. A solution lacking carbon was used as a control. Aliquots were removed as samples after 30 min, 60 min, and 120 min. The samples were centrifuged to remove carbon and the absorbance was sampled using the spectrophotometer. The results are presented in FIG. 4.
The uppermost curve represents absorption of the control and the lower four curves represent absorption after addition of various types of activated carbon. It is apparent from FIG. 4 that the absorbance characterizing the 404 nm peak of Hansa Yellow pigment is significantly reduced due to the presence of the activated carbon in the solution.
Specifically, the absorbance is reduced by at least a factor of five and as much as over an order of magnitude by the action of activate carbon. In order from least reduction in absorbance to the greatest reduction in absorbance, the specific activated carbons in the solution were MeadWestvaco SA-1500 wood-based activated carbon, wood-based activated carbon, coconut-based activated carbon, and MeadWestvaco RGC wood-based activated carbon, respectively.
Activated carbon, because of its high porosity levels, is effective for absorbing the Hansa Yellow (mono-azo) pigment. Although not shown in FIG. 4, increasing the amount of carbon added to the solution was observed to increase the amount of yellow pigment removed from the solution. It follows that an extraneous agent, if positioned between the sheet of color and the surface to which the article is applied, would be effective in halting the migration of the extraneous agent by operating as a scavenger material. As a result, the sheet of color would not be discolored as the activated carbon would capture migrating extraneous agent before the extraneous agent enters the sheet of color.
