Methods of Applying Coating Compositions

Abstract

Coating compositions and methods of applying them.

1 . A method comprising:
 applying a coating material to a substrate that is subject to outdoor weather;   where the coating material (a) comprises pigment, water, and about 8 to 15% wt. of resin, and (b) once dry, is resistant to rain but removable from the substrate using a wet towel.   
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1 , where the substrate is glass. 
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 1 , where the substrate is plastic. 
   
   
       4 . The method of  claim 1 , where the substrate has an irregular surface. 
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 removing the coating material using a wet towel.   
   
   
       6 . The method of  claim 1 , where the resin is an acrylic/latex resin. 
   
   
       7 . The method of  claim 1 , where the coating material includes about 10 to 25% wt. of pigment. 
   
   
       8 . The method of  claim 1 , where the coating material includes about 40 to 50% wt. of water. 
   
   
       9 . The method of  claim 1 , where the coating material further comprises about 3 to 25% wt. of opacifier. 
   
   
       10 . The method of  claim 9 , where the opacifier is titanium dioxide. 
   
   
       11 . The method of  claim 1 , where the coating material further comprises about 3 to 6% wt. of solvent. 
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 11 , where the solvent is propylene glycol. 
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 1 , where the coating material further comprises about 0.5 to 4% wt. of coating agent. 
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 13 , where the coating agent is polypropylene glycol.
