US Patent:

20030084824, May 8, 2003

Filed:

Oct 3, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/264005

Inventors:

Robert Matheson - West Bloomfield MI, US
Dennis Dixon - Flint MI, US
John Moore - Leonard MI, US
David Fischer - Rochester MI, US

International Classification:

C04B002/10
C08L095/00

US Classification:

106/739000, 106/277000

Abstract:

A process for producing building materials, such as asphalt, cement, concrete, mortar, or plaster board from liquid paint sludge containing water and paint solids produced from overspray in commercial paint booth operations. The preferred embodiment comprises adding the liquid paint sludge as the hydrating agent directly to the building material mix.

International Classification:

B05D 3/02

US Classification:

427487000

Abstract:

A multi-stage process for drying and curing substrates coated with liquid waterborne basecoat and a topcoat includes: (a) applying a liquid waterbome basecoating composition to the substrate surface; (b) exposing the basecoating composition to air having a temperature ranging from ambient to about 40 C. for a period of about 30 seconds to volatilize at least a portion of volatile material from the liquid basecoating composition, the velocity of the air at the surface of the basecoating composition being about 0.3 to about 1 meter per second; (c) applying heated air to the basecoating composition for a period ranging from about 30 to about 45 seconds, the velocity of the air at the surface of the basecoating composition ranging from about 1.5 to 15 meters per second, the air having a temperature ranging from about 30 C. to about 90 C.; (d) applying infrared radiation and heated air simultaneously to the basecoating composition for a period of ranging from about 30 to 45 seconds, the velocity of the air at the surface of the basecoating ranging from about 1.5 to 5 meters per second, the air having a temperature ranging from about 30 C. to about 60 C., such that a sufficiently dried basecoat is formed upon the surface of the substrate; (e) applying a topcoating composition over the basecoat; and (f) simultaneously curing the basecoating composition and the topcoating composition together.
