Claims
- 1. A process for coloring a lawn comprising applying a lawn a colorant composition having rearing effects, said lawn colorant composition comprising a pigment and an adhesive therefor, wherein said pigment comprises a blue pigment comprising as a primary component a compound represented by the following formula: MFe[Fe(CN)6 ]wherein M represents an alkali metal atom or an ammonium group, one of said two Fe atoms is a divalent ion, and the other Fe atom is a trivalent ion; and said a adhesive comprises a water-dispersed polymer and a water-soluble polymer.
- 2. A process according to claim 1, wherein the water-soluble polymer is selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl alcohol, acrylic acid polyers, acrylic acid copolymers, maleic acid resins, cellulose resins, starch, and chitosan.
- 3. A process according to claim 1, wherein the lawn colorant composition additionally contains a yellow dye or pigment.
- 4. A process according to claim 1, wherein said water-soluble polymer is contained in a proportion of from 1 to 30 wt. % based on said water-dispersed polymer.
- 5. A process according to claim 4, wherein the water-soluble polymer is selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl alcohol, acrylic acid polymers, arcylic acid copolymers, maleic acid resins, cellulose resins, starch, and chitosan.
- 6. A process according to claim 4, wherein the water-dispersed polymer is present as a polymer emulsion or latex the lowest film-forming temperature of which is in the range of from 0-100°C.
- 7. A process according to claim 6, wherein the water-soluble polymer is selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl alcohol, acrylic acid polymers, acrylic acid copolymers, maleic acid resins, cellulose resins, starch, and chitosan.
- 8. A process according to claim 6, wherein the polymer emulsion is selected from the group consisting of emulsions of vinyl acetate, vinyl acetate copolymers, acrylate ester polymers, acrylate ester copolymers, methacrylate ester polymers, methacrylate ester copolymers, and styrene copolymers.
- 9. A process according to claim 8, wherein the water-soluble polymer is selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl alcohol, acrylic acid polymers, acrylic acid copolymers, maleic acid resins, cellulose resins, starch, and chitosan.
- 10. A process according to claim 1, wherein the water-dispersed polymer is present as a polymer emulsion or latex the lowest film-forming temperature of which is in the range of from 0-100°C.
- 11. A process according to claim 10, wherein the water-soluble polymer is selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl alcohol, acrylic acid polymers, acrylic acid copolymers, maleic acid resins, cellulose resins, starch, and chitosan.
- 12. A process according to claim 10, wherein the polymer emulsion is selected from the group consisting of emulsions of vinyl acetate, vinyl acetate copolymers, acrylate ester polymers, acrylate ester copolymers, methacrylate ester polymers, methacrylate ester copolymers, and styrene copolymers.
- 13. A process according to claim 12, wherein the water-soluble polymer is selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl alcohol, acrylic acid polymers, acrylic acid copolymers, maleic acid resins, cellulose resins, starch, and chitosan.
- 14. A process according to claim 1, wherein the lawn colorant composition additionally contains at least one surfactant.
- 15. A process according to claim 14, wherein the lawn colorant composition additionally contains a yellow dye or pigment.
- 16. A process according to claim 14, wherein the at least one surfactant is a nonionic surfactant.
- 17. A process according to claim 16, wherein the lawn colorant composition additionally contains a yellow dye or pigment.
- 18. A process according to claim 14 , wherein the at least one surfactant is a nonionic surfactant and an anionic surfactant.
- 19. A process according to claim 18, wherein the lawn colorant composition additionally contains a yellow dye or pigment.
