Abstract

A coated article which includes a cement fiberboard substrate and a radiation-curable coating system applied to the substrate. The coating system includes one or more olefinic compounds and one or more PVC dispersion resins, and may be provided in the form of one or more coating compositions that may be applied in one or more layers.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A coated article, comprising:
a cement fiberboard substrate; and
a liquid radiation-curable coating system applied to the substrate, wherein the coating system comprises:
a plastisol or organosol comprising one or more olefinic compounds and one or more polyvinyl chloride (PVC) dispersion resins containing resin particles suspended in the liquid and when cured provides the substrate with increased resistance to moisture uptake.

2. The article of claim 1 , wherein the coating system includes two or more coating compositions that may be applied in two or more layers.

3. The article of claim 1 , wherein the coating system further comprises an initiator system.

4. The article of claim 3 , wherein the coating system comprises a UV photoinitiator.

5. The article of claim 1 , wherein the coating system comprises a first composition comprising an olefinic compound and a second composition comprising a PVC dispersion resin.

6. The article of claim 5 , wherein the coating system comprises a composition comprising both an olefinic compound and a PVC dispersion resin.

7. The article of claim 1 , wherein the olefinic compound comprises a (meth)acrylate, vinyl, vinyl ether, allyl ether, vinyl ester, unsaturated oil, unsaturated fatty acid, or combination thereof.

8. The article of claim 7 , wherein the olefinic compound comprises isobornyl (meth)acrylate, isodecyl (meth)acrylate, phenoxyethyl (meth)acrylate, trimethylolpropane tri(meth)acrylate, alkoxylated cyclohexane dimethanol di(meth)acrylate, trimethylolpropane ethoxylate tri(meth)acrylate, dipropylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, tripropylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, hexanediol di(meth)acrylate, tetrahydrofurfuryl (meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol tri(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol tetra(meth)acrylate, ditrimethylolpropane tetra(meth)acrylate, propoxylated glycerol tri(meth)acrylate, beta-carboxyethyl (meth)acrylate, bisphenol A ethoxylate di(meth)acrylate, ethoxylated neopentyl glycol di(meth)acrylate, propoxylated neopentyl glycol di(meth)acrylate, or combination thereof.

9. The article of claim 8 , wherein the olefinic compound comprises trimethylolpropane tri(meth)acrylate, bisphenol A ethoxylate di(meth)acrylate, propoxylated glycerol tri(meth)acrylate, trimethylolpropane ethoxylate tri(meth)acrylate, ditrimethylolpropane tetra(meth)acrylate, or combination thereof.

10. The article of claim 7 , wherein the olefinic compound comprises a monomer.

11. The article of claim 7 , wherein the olefinic compound comprises an oligomer.

12. The article of claim 1 , wherein the PVC dispersion resin comprises resin particles in a liquid plasticizer and wherein the particles have an average particle diameter of about 0.1 μm to about 1.5 μm.

13. The article of claim 1 , wherein a latex-containing primer or latex-containing topcoat is applied over the coating system and wherein the cement fiberboard substrate is in the form of a siding product.

14. The article of claim 1 , wherein the coated article when radiation cured can withstand at least 30 freeze-thaw cycles.

15. The article of claim 14 , wherein the coated article can withstand at least 75 freeze-thaw cycles.

16. The article of claim 15 , wherein the coated article can withstand at least 175 freeze-thaw cycles.

17. The article of claim 1 , wherein the coating system has a VOC of less than about 5% based on the total weight of the coating system.

18. The article of claim 17 , wherein the coating system has a VOC of less than about 0.5% based on the total weight of the coating system.

19. A method for making a coated article, which method comprises:
providing a cement fiberboard substrate;
coating at least a portion of the substrate with a liquid radiation-curable coating system comprising a plastisol or organosol comprising one or more olefinic compounds and one or more polyvinyl chloride (PVC) dispersion resins containing resin particles suspended in the liquid; and
radiation-curing the coating thereby providing the substrate with increased resistance to moisture uptake.

20. The method of claim 19 , comprising coating the substrate with a first coating composition comprising the one or more olefinic compounds followed by a second coating composition comprising one or more polyvinyl chloride (PVC) dispersion resins.
