DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
This invention relates to corrosion inhibiting pigments not injurious to health, a process for their manufacture and the application of the pigments.
The pigments are based on zinc silicate which is modified with B.sub.2 O.sub.3 and, if necessary, with further oxide-type complexing agents or oxides which are able to form complex polyacids or heteropolyacids.
Lead pigments, known for good anti-corrosive properties, have been used in many ways to manufacture corrosion inhibiting coating systems. In addition to red lead (minimum) and lead silicochromate, lead silicate has also been used most notably for electrophoretic coatings in the automobile industry. The corrosion resistance of pieces coated in the electrophoretic process improves significantly due to the presence of lead silicate in the non-volatile matter of the coating.
Since lead compounds are classified as substances creating health hazards, efforts have been made to develop lead-free pigments which would still exhibit the same or better corrosion inhibiting properties as the exemplary lead silicates.
Attempts were made to substitute lead silicate with zinc silicate. However, those did not provide pigments having the required rust-protection activity.
According to the invention, corrosion inhibiting pigments based on zinc silicate are produced from 35-65% by weight of ZnO, 15-35% by weight of SiO.sub.2, 5-20% by weight of B.sub.2 O.sub.3 and 1-20% by weight of WO.sub.3, entirely or partly substituted by MoO.sub.3 annd/or SnO.sub.2, wherein the amount of, zinc silicate, boron oxide and, if necessary, other metal oxides or their hydrates, singly or in a combination thereof, are such that the entire combination with zinc silicate and the boron oxide contains at least one of the oxides WO.sub.3, MoO.sub.3 and/or SnO.sub.2 in amounts constituting the balance of 100%.
It has appeared that the melting together of the components of the carrier (zinc silicate) with the above-specified oxides singly or in combination results in corrosion inhibiting pigments that produce clearly higher active rust-protection effect than that of zinc silicate alone. As well, the pigments provide the same or better corrosion protection than lead silicate used so far for specific applications.
The pigments may be produced from ZnO, SiO.sub.2 and B.sub.2 O.sub.3 as well as WO.sub.3 which can be substituted entirely or partly by MoO.sub.3 and/or SnO.sub.2, so that the pigment contains at least 4 components. However, if one or more of the oxides WO.sub.3, MoO.sub.3 and SnO.sub.3 are added, boron trioxide should be added preferably in an amount of 5-10% by weight. It is even more advantageous to introduce 47-60% by weight of ZnO and 15-25% by weight of SiO.sub.2 as well as boron trioxide in the above-specified amount range, and at least one oxide from the group consisting of WO.sub.3, MoO.sub.2 and SnO.sub.2, the amounts being 5-10% WO.sub.3, 5-15% MoO.sub.3 and 5-10% SnO.sub.2.
The pigment is produced by melting together raw materials at a temperature from 1100.degree. C. to 1400.degree. C. for a period of 1-3 hours, preferably at ca. 1200.degree. C. for about 2 hours.
The products thus obtained are cooled down, granulated and wet-comminuted to the required fineness, for example in a ball mill. The preferred way of granulation is to pour the melt (molten mass) into the water.
The wet-comminution of the mass containing 70% of solids to the desired fineness is acccompanied by a partial hydrolysis resulting in hydrated molecules which can be applied advantageously to form adhesion complexes in combination with corresponding binding agents and the metal substrate.
Another advantage of this process is the possibility to obtain the pigment in the form of a paste with high solids content. Thus, the primary particle size and particle fineness remain unchanged and the formation of agglomerates that usually occurs during drying is eliminated.
In order to be applicable in a solvent-containing product, the pigments must be pulverized. To this end, the pigments after wet-comminution are dried ou
