Claims
- 1. A peelable film on a substrate to be protected wherein said film is made from a liquid composition consisting essentially of(a) a mixture containing 5-40% by weight of an emulsion of an acrylic copolymer having a glass transition temperature (hereinafter referred to as “Tg”) of not lower than 40° C., and 95-60% by weight of an emulsion of another acrylic copolymer having a Tg ranging from −20° C. through 5° C.; wherein (b) the acrylic copolymer emulsion mixture (a) contains ethylenically unsaturated vinyl monomers having acid value in a total amount of less than 0.2-2.0% by weight; and (c) the acrylic copolymer emulsion mixture (a) contains no constituent monomers having nitrogen.
- 2. The peelable film of claim 1 wherein at least one of the acrylic copolymer emulsions described in (a) is an acrylic copolymer which has been polymerized by use of a reactive surfactant, and the particle size of the acrylic copolymer emulsions is not more than 200 nm.
- 3. The peelable film of claim 1 wherein the substrate to be protected are portions of the exterior of an automobile.
- 4. A method of protecting a substrate comprising applying to the substrate an aqueous dispersion consisting essentially of(a) a mixture containing 5-40% by weight of an emulsion of an acrylic copolymer having a glass transition temperature (hereinafter referred to as “Tg”) of not lower than 40° C., and 95-60% by weight of an emulsion of another acrylic copolymer having a Tg ranging from −20° C. through 5° C.; wherein (b) the acrylic copolymer emulsion mixture (a) contains ethylenically unsaturated vinyl monomers having acid value in a total amount of less than 0.2-2.0% by weight; and (c) the acrylic copolymer emulsion mixture (a) contains no constituent monomers having nitrogen and drying the same to form a peelable film.
- 5. A method of protecting a substrate, according to claim 6, comprising applying to the substrate an aqueous dispersion wherein at least one of the acrylic copolymer emulsions described in (a) is an acrylic copolymer which has been polymerized by use of a reactive surfactant, and the particle size of the acrylic copolymer emulsions is not more than 200 nm and drying the same to form a peelable film.
- 6. The method of claim 4 wherein the substrate is an exterior panel of an automobile.
