Claims
- 1. A method for improving adhesion and gloss of a coating on a weathered substrate, wherein the improvement comprises:
- applying on said substrate a film of a latex binder comprising an aqueous evaporable carrier maintained at a pH of 8.5 to 9.5 and having dispersed therein a latex polymer bearing an acid functional pendant moiety and enamine functional pendant moiety wherein said enamine functional pendant moiety results from the reaction of an acetoacetyl functional pendant moiety on said latex polymer with ammonia or amine, said polymer having a peak molecular weight in the range of 10,000 to 200,000, and an acid number in the range of 1 to 70;
- evaporating said aqueous evaporable carrier from said film; and
- exposing said film to actinic light and air to cure said film into said coating on said weathered substrate having improved adhesion.
- 2. The method of claim 1 wherein said weathered substrate is a chalky, wood or a cement substrate.
- 3. A method for improving adhesion and gloss of a coating on a weathered substrate, wherein the improvement comprises:
- applying on said substrate a film of a latex binder comprising an aqueous evaporable carrier having dispersed therein a latex polymer bearing an acid functional pendant moiety and enamine functional pendant moiety wherein said enamine functional pendant moiety results from the reaction of an acetoacetyl functional pendant moiety on said latex polymer with ammonia or amine, said polymer having a peak molecular weight in the range of 10,000 to 200,000, and an acid number in the range of 1 to 70;
- evaporating said aqueous evaporable carrier from said film; and
- exposing said film to actinic light and air to cure said film into said coating on said weathered substrate having improved adhesion and gloss.
- 4. The method of claim 3 wherein said latex binder is prepared from 2% to 20% by weight of said polymer of an acetoacetyl functional monomer having the following structure: ##STR8## wherein A is either: ##STR9## wherein R.sub.1 is either H, alkyl having 1 to 10 carbon atoms or phenyl, R.sub.2 is either H, alkyl having 1 to 10 carbon atoms or phenyl, halo, CO.sub.2 CH.sub.3, or CN; wherein R.sub.3 is either H, alkyl having 1 to 10 carbon atoms or phenyl, or halo; wherein R.sub.4 is either alkylene having 1 to 10 carbon atoms or phenylene; wherein R.sub.5 is either alkylene; wherein a, m, n, and q is either 0 or 1; wherein each of X and Y is either --NH-- or --O--; and wherein B is either A, alkyl having 1 to 10 carbon atoms or phenyl or heterocyclic.
- 5. The method of claim 3 wherein said latex polymer comprises a blend of a first polymer having said acid functional pendant moiety and a second polymer having said acetoacetyl functional pendant moiety.
- 6. The method of claim 5 wherein said blend further comprises a third polymer having both said acid functional and said acetoacetyl functional pendant moieties.
- 7. A method for improving adhesion and gloss of a coating on a weathered substrate, wherein the improvement comprises:
- applying on said substrate a film of a latex polymer comprising an aqueous evaporable carrier having dispersed therein a blend of a first polymer bearing an acid functional pendant moiety and a second polymer having an enamine functional pendant moiety wherein said enamine functional pendant moiety results from the reaction of an acetoacetyl functional pendant moiety on said second polymer with ammonia or amine, said latex polymer having a peak molecular weight in the range of 10,000 to 200,000, and an acid number in the range of 1 to 70;
- evaporating said aqueous evaporable carrier from said film; and
- exposing said film to actinic light and air to cure said film into said coating on said weathered substrate.
- 8. The method of claim 7 wherein said blend further comprises a third polymer having both said acid functional and said acetoacetyl functional pendant moieties.
