Claims
- 1. A method for producing a coating on a friable surface comprising:(1) applying to said friable surface a layer of an aqueous coating composition comprising a plurality of polymeric particles, each of said particles consisting essentially of: (a) at least one polymer A having a glass transition temperature of −20° C. to 100° C., wherein said polymer A is an emulsion polymer consisting essentially of: (i) at least one copolymerized ethylenically unsaturated nonionic monomer having a water solubility at 25° C. less than 8% by weight, based on the weight of water; and (ii) at least one copolymerized acid monomer, such that the acid number of said polymer A is 13 to 260 mg of KOH per g of polymer; and (b) at least one polymer B having a glass transition temperature of −20° C. to 100° C., wherein said polymer B is an emulsion polymer comprising, as polymerized units, at least one ethylenically unsaturated nonionic monomer, wherein said particles have an average particle diameter less than 120 nanometers; and (2) drying said coating composition.
- 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said friable surface is selected from the group consisting of weathered paint, masonry, wall board, weathered uncoated wood, and gypsum.
- 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said polymer A has an acid number of 26 to 195 mg of KOH per g of polymer.
- 4. The method of claim 1, wherein said polymer A is present at 10 to 95 percent by weight, based on the total weight of said particles.
- 5. The method of claim 1, wherein said polymer A is present at 30 to 70 percent by weight, based on the total weight of said particles.
- 6. The method of claim 1, wherein said particles have an average particle diameter of less than 80 nanometers.
- 7. The method of claim 1, wherein said aqueous coating composition further comprises at least one nonionic surfactant in the amount 0.25 to 10 weight percent, as dry weight of said surfactant, based on the total dry weight of said particles.
- 8. The method of claim 7, wherein said nonionic surfactant is a surfactant selected from the group consisting of alkylphenol alkoxylate, alkoxylated amine, alkyl alcohol alkoxylate, and mixtures thereof.
- 9. The method of claim 1, wherein said aqueous coating composition additionally comprises at least one second polymeric component.
