Abstract

A coating composition of:
from 4 to 17 wt % of hollow microspheres having a thermal conductivity (designated lambda) below 0.1 W·m −1 ·K −1 , from 0.05 to 1 wt % of at least one linear alcohol whose hydrocarbon chain comprises at least 8 carbon atoms, from 5 to 25 wt % of at least one bonding agent selected from water-dispersible or water-soluble polymers, comprising a glass transition temperature (Tg) less than or equal to 65° C., from 25 to 50 wt % of a non-hydraulic binder that is mineral and metallic fillers: having an average particle size in the range from 5 to 100 μm, from 0.1 to 1 wt % of at least one thickener, water,

Use thereof and the applications thereof as smoothing and/or heat-insulating coating for walls and ceilings.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A coating composition comprising:
from 4 to 17 wt % of hollow microspheres having a thermal conductivity (designated lambda) below 0.1 W·m −1 ·K −1 ,
from 0.05 to 1 wt % of at least one linear alcohol whose hydrocarbon chain comprises at least 8 carbon atoms,
from 5 to 25 wt % of at least one bonding agent that is a water-dispersible or water-soluble polymer having a glass transition temperature (Tg) less than or equal to 65° C.,
from 25 to 50 wt % of a non-hydraulic binder that is a mineral or metallic filler which is a carbonate of an alkaline-earth metal, alumina, silica, a silicate of aluminium, a silicate of an alkali metal, a silicate of an alkaline-earth metal, or a mixture thereof, said fillers having an average particle size of 5 to 100 μm,
from 0.1 to 1 wt % of at least one thickener, and
water,

the percentages by weight being expressed in wt % of dry matter relative to the total weight of the coating composition.

2. The coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the hollow microspheres have a real density of 0.05 to 0.5 g/cm 3 .

3. The coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the hollow microspheres are hollow microspheres having an average particle size (D50) of 0.10 to 100 μm.

4. The coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the hollow microspheres are hollow glass or polymer microspheres of sodium or calcium borosilicate, of aluminosilicate, or of vinylidene chloride/acrylonitrile.

5. The coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the alcohol is a mixture of linear fatty alcohol(s) of formula ROH, where R is a linear hydrocarbon chain, saturated or unsaturated, having from 8 to 30 carbon atoms and of vinyl polyol(s), having a Tg of 75 to 95° C.

6. The coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the water-dispersible or water-soluble polymer is a copolymer of styrene and (meth)acrylic acid, a copolymer of styrene and ester of (meth)acrylic acid, a copolymer of styrene and (meth)acrylamide, said copolymers optionally being silanized, a homopolymer or copolymer of butadiene, a vinyl polymer a polyurethane, or a mixture thereof.

7. The coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the mineral filler is calcium carbonate or silica.

8. The coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the thickener is clay, a polysaccharide thickener or mixture thereof, optionally in the presence of soda.

9. A method of applying a composition as defined in claim 1 , comprising at least the following:
(i) applying said composition in one or more successive layers on a surface of a substrate using a roller and/or a smoothing tool, then
(ii) drying said layer, then
(iii) optionally applying, on said hardened coating layer a layer of a non-insulating material.

10. The method according to claim 9 , comprising at least the following:
(i′) applying a first layer of a composition on a surface of a substrate using a roller, then
(ii′) applying of a second layer of a composition on said first layer deposited using a smoothing tool, the time that passes between the first and second application of the composition being less than 30 minutes, or
(ii″) smoothing of the surface using a smoothing tool without adding additional material, then
(iii′) drying the coating composition, then
(iv′) optionally applying, on said hardened coating layer, a layer of a non-insulating material.

11. The method according to claim 9 , comprising at least the following:
(i′″) applying a layer of a composition on a surface of a substrate, using a smoothing tool, then
(ii′″) drying the coating composition, then
(iii′″) optionally applying, on said hardened coating layer, of a layer of a non-insulating material.

12. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the roller used in (i) is a honeycomb textured foam roller.

13. A substrate covered with a hardened layer of coating composition of thickness in the range from 0.5 to 3 millimeters obtainable by the method as defined in claim 9 .

14. A process for smoothing and/or heat-insulating interior walls and ceilings, comprising achieving heat insulation or smoothing on said wall or ceiling by applying a composition according to claim 1 .

15. The coating composition according to claim 6 , wherein the copolymer of butadiene is polybutadiene or polybutadiene styrene and the vinyl polymer is polyvinyl chloride or polyvinyl acetate.

16. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the roller used in (i′) is a honeycomb textured foam roller.

17. A substrate covered with a hardened layer of coating composition of thickness in the range from 0.5 to 3 millimeters obtained by the method as defined in claim 9 .

18. An interior wall or ceiling coated with a composition according to claim 1 .
