Claims
- 1. An aqueous composition which is water repellant when dried consisting essentially of a product which is formed by reacting in the presence of water (i) one or more carboxylic fatty acids and (ii) one or more polyfunctional aromatic or aliphatic amines; and subsequently reacting the intermediate product formed thereby with (iii) a water soluble metal complex cross-linking agent.
- 2. A composition according to claim 1, including a saturated hydrocarbon wax.
- 3. A composition according to claim 1, including an alkyd resin.
- 4. A composition according to claim 1, including an aqueous acrylic polymer.
- 5. A composition according to claim 1, wherein the crosslinking agent comprises Ammonium Zirconium Carbonate.
- 6. A composition according to claim 1, wherein the carboxylic acid is selected from oleic acid, isostearic acid, stearic acid, ricinoleic acid and tall oil fatty acids.
- 7. A composition according to claim 1, wherein the polyfunctional amine is a hydroxy-substituted amine and is selected from 2-amino-2-methylpropan-1-ol, 2-amino-2-ethylpropane-1,3-diol, 3-aminopropane-1,2-diol, and triethanolamine.
- 8. A composition according to claim 1, wherein the weight of solids in the composition is in the range of from about 1%-10%.
- 9. A composition according to claim 2 wherein paraffin wax is present in an amount from 0.0%-50% by weight of solids.
- 10. An aqueous composition which is water-repellent when dried comprising the product of mixing in the presence of water at substantially equimolar ratio (i) one or more carboxylic fatty acids of 3 to 22 carbon atoms and (ii) one or more hydroxy-substituted amines containing from 2 to 25 carbon atoms to form an alkanolamine carboxylate, and then adding (iii) a water-soluble zirconium cross-linking agent.
- 11. A composition according to claim 10, wherein the molar ratio of zirconium to alkanolamine carboxylate is from 1:1.2 to 1:1.
- 12. A method of treating a substrate to render it water repellent comprising the steps of applying to said substrate the composition as claimed in claim 1 and drying the composition.
- 13. A method according to claim 12, in which the substrate is brick masonry or concrete.
- 14. A method according to claim 12, in which the substrate is wood.
- 15. A method according to claim 12, in which the substrate is a textile.
- 16. A method according to claim 12, in which the substrate is leather.
- 17. A method according to claim 12, in which the substrate is chipboard.
- 18. A method according to claim 12, in which the substrate is calcium carbonate powder.
- 19. A method according to claim 12, in which the substrate is paper.
- 20. A method of treating a polyvinylacetate adhesive to render it water repellent when dry comprising the steps of mixing said adhesive with a composition as claimed in claim 1 and drying the mixture.
- 21. A method of treating an ink to render it water repellent when dry comprising the steps of mixing said ink with a composition as claimed in claim 1 and drying the mixture.
