B Although various coatings have been used on stone 9 work and concrete constructions~ generally these compositions have be~n inadequate for protecting the stone or concrete 11 against damage by atmo~pheric pollutants and graffiti, 12 usually because the coatings did not permit the structures to 13 "breathe," that i~, to exchange water vapor, carbon dioxide 14 and other gases, with the air.
lS In the road maintenance art, a long-standing 16 problem is the damage caused to concrete roadbeds, road 17 dividers, curbs and sidewalks by materials used in deicing 18 operations, e.g., rock salt (sodium chloride), calcium 19 chloride or urea.

22 That is, concrete structures must breathe. On the other 23 hand, the concrete structure must be protected from 24 chemicals used for deicing, which would otherwise leach into the cement and tend to cause its disintegration. For example, 26 it is necessary to replace the curbs in the Washington, D.C., 27 area on the average of every third year owing to combined 28 damage by run off from salts used to melt snow and the 29 accumulation of salted snow piled on the curbs by snow plows.
The replacement rate varies according to the amount of salts 75~3 used to melt snow, but it wil:L be appreciated that the relat;ve economy of sc~l-t compaxed to other methods mandates its use in many sections of the country.
It is known in -the art of protecting and preserving stone objects to use a mixture containing barium or strontium ions in order to cause the precipitation of barium or strontium sulfate in objects made from calcareous stones, such as limestone and sandstone, to effect consolidation of the stone. However, as indicated in Sayre (United States Patent 3,70L,15~), the technique is not as simple as it appears, because of the need to deposit more than a few crystals of barium or stontium sulfate at the surface of the stone object. An additional drawback of this method is that several of the known methods require more than one process step and are therefore expensive in terms of labor.
Moreover, the use of barium or strontium salts as a binder does not protect the stone objects against graffiti.

The materials are applied from a water-hexane emulsion to produce a water-repellant coating which is permeable to water and gases. However, the hydro-phobic fi~Lm is not permanent, in that there is a significant increase of water-absorbency in treated samples of concrete after seven weeks' outdoors testing.
Dreher et al (United States Patent 3,850,661) suggest the use of an epoxide-based composition for impregnating porous inorganic substrates, including roadways.

Lal Gauri (U.S. Patent 3,795,533) teaches preserving and strengthen-ing wood or stone by a treatment involving sequential impregnation with a plurality of solvent-resin solutions. The deficiency of this method over a one-step process will be readily apparent.
Thus, there is a continuing need for materials which protect porous inorganic substrates from the deleterious effects of salt water, acidic gases, erosion, graffiti and the like and which are simple to apply and have a reasonable working life.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a method for preserving porous inorganic substrates consisting of applying to the porous inorganic substrate a gas and vapor permeable preservative composition consisting of an aqueous solution or dispersion of a carboxylated hydrophilic acrylic copolymer con-taining monomer units from at least one Cl-C4 alkyl acrylate or methacrylate and about 5 to about 20% by weight of at least one carboxylic monomer a cross-linking agent for the carboxylated hydrophilic acrylic copolymer constituting from about l.O to about 10% by weight of the aqueous solution or dispersion and from about 0.1 to about 2.0% by weight of said aqueous solution or dispersion of an ultraviolet-absorbing agent.
According to another aspect of the present invention there is provided a porous inorganic substrate protected against damage by salt water, gaseous pollutants, graffiti, and erosion consisting of the substrate coated by a gas and vapor permeable preservative composition consisting of an aqueous solution or dispersion of a carboxylated hydrophilic acrylic copolymer con-i - 4 -.1 ~75 ~
t~Zillillg mOllOlller Ullits from at lcast onc Cl-C4 alkyl acrylate or methacrylatc ~lnd from about S.. to about 20o by weight of at least one carboxylic monomer, a cross-linking agent for the carboxylated hydrophilic acrylic copolymer constituting from about 1.0 to about 10% by weight of the aqueous solution or dispersion and from about 0.1 to about 2 . 0% by weight of said aqueous solution or dispersion of an ultraviolet-absorbing agent.
In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the composition used to facilitate the removal of graffiti also contains polyethylenimine or a hydrophilic - 4a -75~3 1 polyethylenimine derivative.
2 The preservative compositions of this invention 3 further provide a transparent covering for the surface being 4 protected, so as to keep the surface clean, and add richness to the appearance of the surface, in addition to the more 6 critical function of protecting the surface against 7 accelerated weathering. Although the compositions of this 8 invention are permeahle to carbon dioxide, water vapor and, g to a limited extent, rain water, they are relatively impermeable to electrolytes such as salt water and acidic 11 rain waters. It is thought that the compositions of this 12 invention become selectively impermeable owing to an increàse 13 in ionic strength and/or acidity of solutions containing salt 14 or acidic pollutants.
As used in the specification and claims, "porous 16 inorganic substrates' includes concrete, marble, limestone, 17 sandstone, hydraulic cement, cinder blocks, bricks, asbestos 18 cement, mortar, gypsum blast furnace cement, alumina cement 19 and the like in the form of roads, buildings, monuments, sidewalks or the like.
21 As used in the specification and claims 22 "carboxylated hydrophilic acrylic polymer" means any 23 copolymer which contains at least some carboxylic acid 24 groups introduced by polymerization of an alpha,beta-unsaturated acid, which, for the purposes of this invention 26 include acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, itaconic acid, 27 crotonic acid, maleic acid, citraconic acid, ethacrylic acid 28 and the like. ~crylic acid is preferred.
29 Monomers usable in the preparation of the carboxylated hydrophilic polymers of this invention include ~7~'~^3 the lower alkyl acrylate and methacrylate esters and monomers polymerizable therewith, including, but not limited to styrene, vinyl acetate, ethyl vinyl ether, substituted styrenes, and the like. However, the hydrophilic car-boxylated polymers prepared from lower alkyl acrylate and methacrylates and carboxylic monomer exclusively are preferred. Typical of the esters pre-ferred for making the carboxylated hydrophilic copolymers are the Cl-C4 alkyl acrylates and methacrylates, such as methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, n-propyl acrylate, isopropyl acrylate, the butyl acrylates and the correspond-ing methacrylates. Especially preferred monomers are methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, butyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, methyl acrylate and mix-tures thereof, particularly with from about 5% to about 20% by weight of acrylic acid monomer.
A composition par-ticularly preferred for the purposes of this in-vention consists of a copolymer based on about 56% by weight of methyl meth-acrylate, about 30% by weight of ethyl methacrylate and about 14% by weight of acrylic acid. An equally preferred composition is based on about 44% by weight of butyl acrylate, 40% by weight of methyl acrylate and about 16% by weight of acrylic acid. Also preferred is a polymer containing about 90% by weight of ethyl acrylate and about 10% by weight of acrylic acid units.
Typical of commercially available hydrophilic polymers which can be used according to this invention is Carboset ~ 514, a dispersion in ammonia water (30% solids), or Carboset ~ 514H, a dispersion in ammonia water (40%
solids) or isopropanol (70% solids) available from the B. F. Goodrich Chemical Co.
For ease of application, the copolymer or terpolymer is preferably solubilized in water by adjustment of the pH to as near 7.5 as possible.
Suitablematerials for adjustment of -che pH include sodium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide or organic amines, including but not limited to dimethylamine, diisopropylamine, polyethylenimine, morpholine, triethylamine, ethylene diamine, 2-methylpiperazine, monoam~-lamine, ~75r~3 dibutylamine, 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol and the like. Of the fore-going, ammonium ~ydroxide and diisopropylamine are preferred. It is thought that the amines vaporize during the curing process.
The molecular weight of the copolymer or terpolymer prior to cross-linking can vary between about 5000 and three million. Preferably, the mo-lecular weight is between about 10,000 and 100,000. Although it is difficult to determine the molecular weight of the product after cross-linking, it is thought generally to be up to one million or higher.
Cross-linking agents suitable for the purposes of this invention include difunctional materials which react with the carboxyl groups of the hydrophilic acrylic polymers used herein. Exemplary of cross-linking agents which convert the hydrophilic polymers of this invention to essentially permanent protective compositions are formaldehyde-condensation resins, epoxy compounds and multivalent metal ions. Formaldehyde resins include those based on melamine, such as the methylol melamines and the lower molec-ular weight melamine-formaldehyde resins as well as methylolated phenols and lower molecular weight phenol-formaldehyde resins. Epoxy compounds include diglycidyl and triglycidyl ethers and low molecular weight epoxy resins.
Typical of multivalent metal ions which can be used are zinc, chromium, aluminum, iron, calcium and titanium, in the form of salts, oxides or hydrox-ides.
Among commercially available formaldehyde resins which can be used as cross-linking agents are melamine-formaldehyde resins such as Resimene RF 5306 (Monsanto Chemical Co.) and Cymel ~ 300 (American Cyanamid Co.).
Melamine-formaldehyde resins andmethylolated melamine derivatives are among the cross-linking agents preferred for the practice of this invention.
Commercially available epoxy compounds for the purposes of this invention include Epon ~ 828 (Shell Chemical Co.), the diglycidyl ether derived from epichlorohydrin and bisphenol A; Epon ~ 812 (Shell Chemical Co.), the triglycidyl ether of glycerol; Eponite ~ 100 (Shell Chemical Co.), ~S~'~.75 ~
a water-dispersible epoxy resin; and DER 332 (Dow Chemical Co.). Preferred epox~y compounds are the diglycidyl and triglycidyl ethers, especially bi-sphenol A diglycidyl ether and glycerine triglycidyl ether.
Although a variety of metallic ions can be used to provide cross-linking, the preferred system is one in which the cross-linking agent is zinc ions. A convenient way of preparing materials using zinc ions as cross-linking agent is to use a solution of zinc ammonium carbonate complex~
which is added to the solution or dispersion of polymer.
The amount of cross-linking agent can be varied from about 1.0% to about 10% by weight (as solids) of the aqueous solution or dispersion.
Preferably the amount of cross-linking agent is from about 1.0% to about 5%
by weight of the aqueous solution or dispersion.
Although the compositions used according to this invention ulti-mately become cross-linked and permanently adhere to the porous inorganic substrates being protected, it will be understood that the compositions as prepared have a reasonable life, provided that the hydrophilic acrylic resins and cross-linking agent are mixed at the site of application. Thus, a sys-tem consisting of a carboxylated acrylic terpolymer and a glycidyl ether has a life of about six days at room temperature, so that compositions for the practice Or this inven~ion can be prepared several days before used. Com-positions using melamine-formaldehyde resins as the cross-linking agent have an apparently indefini-te shelf life. Preferably, however, the hydrophilic acrylic resin and cross-linking agent are mixed just prior to use so that the products are of ow viscosity for ease of application.
"Ultraviolet-absorbing agent," as used in the specification and claims, means a material which is compatible with the carboxylated hydro-philic acrylic polymer and cross-linking agent and which absorbs incident radiation in the range between about 2700 ~ and about 4000 ~. Among mate-rials known to function as ultraviolet-absorbing agents are coumarin ethers;
esters of para-aminobenzoic acid, such as the glyceryl ester; esters of subst;tllted ~arn-aminoberlzoic acids and para-methoxycinnamic acid, e.g., the 2-ethoxyetllyl esterj benzophenone derivatives, e.g., 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-benzopllerlone, -triazolylketones, such as 2-phenyl-4-(2',4'-dihydroxybenzoyl)-v-triazoles and the corresponding ethers and esters; hydrozones derived from aromatic aldehydes; 2-phenylbenzoxazole derivatives; bisoxalic acid diamides, benzoylbenzofuran derivatives formazan derivatives and metal chelates of bicyclononanedione esters; bis-alpha-cyano-beta, beta-diphenylacrylic acid derivatives; 2-aryl-4,5-acrylo~,2,3-triazoles; beta-benzolyloxy-2'-hydroxy-chalcones and the like.
Among the preferred ultraviolet-absorbing materials used in accor-dance with this invention are those which absorb from about 2700 ~ to about 3300 ~. Among compounds which absorb selectively in this more limited region are benzoylbenzofurans (Baron et al, United States Patent 3,4LI8,190)~ which absorb primarily from about 2900 ~ to about 3200 A and various cinnamate esters, which absorb from about 2700 ~ to abou-t 3300 ~. Particularly pre-ferred as an ultraviolet-absorber is 2-etho~yethyl p-methoxycinnamate, available under the trade name of Giv-Tan~ F from Sindar Division of Giuvadan Corp., Clifton, ~. J.
~he effective amount of ultraviolet-absorbing agent used in the practice of this inven-tion is from about 0.01% to about 10% by weight of the aqueous solution or dispersion. However, the preferred range is from about 0.1~ to about 2.0% by weight.
"Polyethylenimine or hydrophilic polyethylenimine derivative," as used in the specification and claims, includes derivatives of materials which can vary in molecular weight from about 1,000 to about 100,000. Hydrophilic polyethylenimine derivatives within the scope of this definition include hydroxyethylated polyethylenimine, which is the reaction product of poly-ethylenimine with ethylene oxide; propoxylated polyethylenimine, which is the reaction product of polyethylenimine with propylene oxide; epichloro-hydrin-modified polyethylene imine and urea-modified polyethylenimine.
1~7~3 Generally, a weight ratio of ]:1 to 1:0.1 of polyetbylenimine to ethylene oxide is preferred; for propylene oxide, 1:0.1 to 1:1.1; for epichlorohydrin about 1:1 and for urea about 1:1. Preferably, polyethyleni~ine or hydro-philic polyethylenimine derivatives used in the practice of this invention have a molecular weight from 1,000 to about 60,000, most preferably from about 40,000 to about 60,000.
Polyethylenimine can be purchased from the Dow Chemical Co., Midland, Michigan. The product designated as PEI 600 has a molecular weight in the 40,000 to 60,000 range. PEI 600 and other commercially available polyethylenimines can be modified as set forth above to give hydrophilic derivatives.
The weight ratio of polyethylenimine or hydrophilic polyethyl-enimine derivatives to carboxylated hydrophilic acrylic polymeris preferably -varied from about 1:1 to about 10:1 in the compositions of this invention particularly adapted for protecting surfaces against graffiti.
The combination of carboxylated hy~drophilic acrylic polymer and polyethylenimine or hydrophilic polyethylenimine derivative, if present, constitutes from about 5% to about 60% by weight of the solution or disper-sion. Preferably, however, the combination constitutes from about 10% to about 50% by weight of the solution or dispersion.
The amount of cross-linking agent can be varied from about 0.1% to about 15% by weight of the solution, but amounts of the order of about 1.0%
to about 10% by weight are preferred.
The solutions or dispersions of this invention can be applied directly or following dilution with from about one to about ten volumes of water. Undiluted compositions are preferably used for protection against graffiti. For other purposes or for ease of application, dilution with three to six volumes of water is preferred. The recommended dilution de-pends essentially on the porosity of the substrate being protected. For example, a six-fold dilution is preferred for application to hard marble alld a three-~`old di~ut;ioll for al-plication -to limes-tone.
The method Or this invcntic)n contemplates application of the pre-servative composition to porous inorganic substrates prepared only by simple cleaning by a variety of conventional techniques, including pressure spray-ing, brushing, doctor blade application and the like. The preservative com-position is permitted to dry in the air, unless the user desires to acceler-ate the cross-linking process by application of heat below temperatures at which the polymeric constituents would burn or melt.
Generally, the amount of solution or dispersion is applied at the rate of about 1 gallon to about 4 gallons per 400 square feet. Preferably, the level is 1-2 gallons per 400 square feet.
The following examples depict in more detail the preparation of representative compositions and methods of their application in accord uith the principles of the present invention.
A dispersion was prepared by combining in a 55-gallon container equipped with a propeller agitator and agitating vigorously:
120 liters water 30 liters terpolymer (5~% by weight of methyl methacrylate, 30% of ethyl methacrylate and 14% of acrylic acid; molecular weight 30~000; 30% solution in water;
P~ 7.5) 80 milliliters emulsifier (Darvan~ ~o. 7) 80 milliliters 2-ethoxyethyl p-methoxycinnamate To the dispersion was added three liters of glycerine triglycidyl ether. The resulting material was diluted uith three parts by volume of water and sprayed on concrete sidewalk.
EXA~PLE 2 Material was prepared by the method of Example 1, except tha-t bisphenol A diglycidyl ether was used. The product, after dilution with three volwlles of water, was brushed on a brick building surface, which maintained a good appearance.
A dispersion was prepared by stirring the following together:
30 liters copolymer (90% by weight of ethyl acrylate and 10% of acrylic acid, molecular weight 30,000; 30% by weight in aqueous ammonia;
pH 7.5) 10 liters ammonium dichromate (30% by weight solution in water) 45 liters aqueous ammonia (3% by weight of ammonia) 100 liters polyethylenimine (molecular weight 40,ooo-60,ooo; 40% by weight in water) 3 liters 2-ethoxyethyl p-methoxycinnamate Immediately before use, a glycidyl ether (glyceryl triglycidyl ether or bisphenol A diglycidyl ether) was added at the rate of about 6 ounces per five gallons of solution. The resulting solution was brushed on concrete, brick or stone substrates.
The following product was prepared by stirring together the fol-lowing:
parts by weight terpolymer (44% by weight of butyl acrylate, 40% of methyl acrylate and 16% of acrylic acid; molecular weight 16,000; 30% by weight in water; pH 7.5) 2 aqueous ammonia (3% by weight of ammonia) 200 polyethylenimine (molecular weight 30,000-40,000; 40% by weigbt in water) 300 deioni~ed water
B Although various coatings have been used on stone 9 work and concrete constructions~ generally these compositions have be~n inadequate for protecting the stone or concrete 11 against damage by atmo~pheric pollutants and graffiti, 12 usually because the coatings did not permit the structures to 13 "breathe," that i~, to exchange water vapor, carbon dioxide 14 and other gases, with the air.
lS In the road maintenance art, a long-standing 16 problem is the damage caused to concrete roadbeds, road 17 dividers, curbs and sidewalks by materials used in deicing 18 operations, e.g., rock salt (sodium chloride), calcium 19 chloride or urea. Protective coatings for concrete or Portland cement-based structures must be such that the 21 structure can receive water vapor, carbon dioxide, etc.
22 That is, concrete structures must breathe. On the other 23 hand, the concrete structure must be protected from 24 chemicals used for deicing, which would otherwise leach into the cement and tend to cause its disintegration. For example, 26 it is necessary to replace the curbs in the Washington, D.C., 27 area on the average of every third year owing to combined 28 damage by run off from salts used to melt snow and the 29 accumulation of salted snow piled on the curbs by snow plows.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a method for preserving porous inorganic substrates consisting of applying to the porous inorganic substrate a gas and vapor permeable preservative composition consisting of an aqueous solution or dispersion of a carboxylated hydrophilic acrylic copolymer con-taining monomer units from at least one Cl-C4 alkyl acrylate or methacrylate and about 5 to about 20% by weight of at least one carboxylic monomer a cross-linking agent for the carboxylated hydrophilic acrylic copolymer constituting from about l.O to about 10% by weight of the aqueous solution or dispersion and from about 0.1 to about 2.0% by weight of said aqueous solution or dispersion of an ultraviolet-absorbing agent.

Although the compositions of this 8 invention are permeahle to carbon dioxide, water vapor and, g to a limited extent, rain water, they are relatively impermeable to electrolytes such as salt water and acidic 11 rain waters. It is thought that the compositions of this 12 invention become selectively impermeable owing to an increàse 13 in ionic strength and/or acidity of solutions containing salt 14 or acidic pollutants.
As used in the specification and claims, "porous 16 inorganic substrates' includes concrete, marble, limestone, 17 sandstone, hydraulic cement, cinder blocks, bricks, asbestos 18 cement, mortar, gypsum blast furnace cement, alumina cement 19 and the like in the form of roads, buildings, monuments, sidewalks or the like.
21 As used in the specification and claims 22 "carboxylated hydrophilic acrylic polymer" means any 23 copolymer which contains at least some carboxylic acid 24 groups introduced by polymerization of an alpha,beta-unsaturated acid, which, for the purposes of this invention 26 include acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, itaconic acid, 27 crotonic acid, maleic acid, citraconic acid, ethacrylic acid 28 and the like. ~crylic acid is preferred.
29 Monomers usable in the preparation of the carboxylated hydrophilic polymers of this invention include ~7~'~^3 the lower alkyl acrylate and methacrylate esters and monomers polymerizable therewith, including, but not limited to styrene, vinyl acetate, ethyl vinyl ether, substituted styrenes, and the like. However, the hydrophilic car-boxylated polymers prepared from lower alkyl acrylate and methacrylates and carboxylic monomer exclusively are preferred. Typical of the esters pre-ferred for making the carboxylated hydrophilic copolymers are the Cl-C4 alkyl acrylates and methacrylates, such as methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, n-propyl acrylate, isopropyl acrylate, the butyl acrylates and the correspond-ing methacrylates. Especially preferred monomers are methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, butyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, methyl acrylate and mix-tures thereof, particularly with from about 5% to about 20% by weight of acrylic acid monomer.
A composition par-ticularly preferred for the purposes of this in-vention consists of a copolymer based on about 56% by weight of methyl meth-acrylate, about 30% by weight of ethyl methacrylate and about 14% by weight of acrylic acid. An equally preferred composition is based on about 44% by weight of butyl acrylate, 40% by weight of methyl acrylate and about 16% by weight of acrylic acid. Also preferred is a polymer containing about 90% by weight of ethyl acrylate and about 10% by weight of acrylic acid units.
Typical of commercially available hydrophilic polymers which can be used according to this invention is Carboset ~ 514, a dispersion in ammonia water (30% solids), or Carboset ~ 514H, a dispersion in ammonia water (40%
solids) or isopropanol (70% solids) available from the B. F. Goodrich Chemical Co.
For ease of application, the copolymer or terpolymer is preferably solubilized in water by adjustment of the pH to as near 7.5 as possible.
Suitablematerials for adjustment of -che pH include sodium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide or organic amines, including but not limited to dimethylamine, diisopropylamine, polyethylenimine, morpholine, triethylamine, ethylene diamine, 2-methylpiperazine, monoam~-lamine, ~75r~3 dibutylamine, 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol and the like. Of the fore-going, ammonium ~ydroxide and diisopropylamine are preferred. It is thought that the amines vaporize during the curing process.
The molecular weight of the copolymer or terpolymer prior to cross-linking can vary between about 5000 and three million. Preferably, the mo-lecular weight is between about 10,000 and 100,000. Although it is difficult to determine the molecular weight of the product after cross-linking, it is thought generally to be up to one million or higher.
Cross-linking agents suitable for the purposes of this invention include difunctional materials which react with the carboxyl groups of the hydrophilic acrylic polymers used herein. Exemplary of cross-linking agents which convert the hydrophilic polymers of this invention to essentially permanent protective compositions are formaldehyde-condensation resins, epoxy compounds and multivalent metal ions. Formaldehyde resins include those based on melamine, such as the methylol melamines and the lower molec-ular weight melamine-formaldehyde resins as well as methylolated phenols and lower molecular weight phenol-formaldehyde resins. Epoxy compounds include diglycidyl and triglycidyl ethers and low molecular weight epoxy resins.
Typical of multivalent metal ions which can be used are zinc, chromium, aluminum, iron, calcium and titanium, in the form of salts, oxides or hydrox-ides.
Among commercially available formaldehyde resins which can be used as cross-linking agents are melamine-formaldehyde resins such as Resimene RF 5306 (Monsanto Chemical Co.) and Cymel ~ 300 (American Cyanamid Co.).
Melamine-formaldehyde resins andmethylolated melamine derivatives are among the cross-linking agents preferred for the practice of this invention.
Commercially available epoxy compounds for the purposes of this invention include Epon ~ 828 (Shell Chemical Co.), the diglycidyl ether derived from epichlorohydrin and bisphenol A; Epon ~ 812 (Shell Chemical Co.), the triglycidyl ether of glycerol; Eponite ~ 100 (Shell Chemical Co.), ~S~'~.75 ~
a water-dispersible epoxy resin; and DER 332 (Dow Chemical Co.). Preferred epox~y compounds are the diglycidyl and triglycidyl ethers, especially bi-sphenol A diglycidyl ether and glycerine triglycidyl ether.
Although a variety of metallic ions can be used to provide cross-linking, the preferred system is one in which the cross-linking agent is zinc ions. A convenient way of preparing materials using zinc ions as cross-linking agent is to use a solution of zinc ammonium carbonate complex~
which is added to the solution or dispersion of polymer.
The amount of cross-linking agent can be varied from about 1.0% to about 10% by weight (as solids) of the aqueous solution or dispersion.
Preferably the amount of cross-linking agent is from about 1.0% to about 5%
by weight of the aqueous solution or dispersion.
Although the compositions used according to this invention ulti-mately become cross-linked and permanently adhere to the porous inorganic substrates being protected, it will be understood that the compositions as prepared have a reasonable life, provided that the hydrophilic acrylic resins and cross-linking agent are mixed at the site of application. Thus, a sys-tem consisting of a carboxylated acrylic terpolymer and a glycidyl ether has a life of about six days at room temperature, so that compositions for the practice Or this inven~ion can be prepared several days before used. Com-positions using melamine-formaldehyde resins as the cross-linking agent have an apparently indefini-te shelf life. Preferably, however, the hydrophilic acrylic resin and cross-linking agent are mixed just prior to use so that the products are of ow viscosity for ease of application.
"Ultraviolet-absorbing agent," as used in the specification and claims, means a material which is compatible with the carboxylated hydro-philic acrylic polymer and cross-linking agent and which absorbs incident radiation in the range between about 2700 ~ and about 4000 ~. Among mate-rials known to function as ultraviolet-absorbing agents are coumarin ethers;
esters of para-aminobenzoic acid, such as the glyceryl ester; esters of subst;tllted ~arn-aminoberlzoic acids and para-methoxycinnamic acid, e.g., the 2-ethoxyetllyl esterj benzophenone derivatives, e.g., 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-benzopllerlone, -triazolylketones, such as 2-phenyl-4-(2',4'-dihydroxybenzoyl)-v-triazoles and the corresponding ethers and esters; hydrozones derived from aromatic aldehydes; 2-phenylbenzoxazole derivatives; bisoxalic acid diamides, benzoylbenzofuran derivatives formazan derivatives and metal chelates of bicyclononanedione esters; bis-alpha-cyano-beta, beta-diphenylacrylic acid derivatives; 2-aryl-4,5-acrylo~,2,3-triazoles; beta-benzolyloxy-2'-hydroxy-chalcones and the like.
Among the preferred ultraviolet-absorbing materials used in accor-dance with this invention are those which absorb from about 2700 ~ to about 3300 ~. Among compounds which absorb selectively in this more limited region are benzoylbenzofurans (Baron et al, United States Patent 3,4LI8,190)~ which absorb primarily from about 2900 ~ to about 3200 A and various cinnamate esters, which absorb from about 2700 ~ to abou-t 3300 ~. Particularly pre-ferred as an ultraviolet-absorber is 2-etho~yethyl p-methoxycinnamate, available under the trade name of Giv-Tan~ F from Sindar Division of Giuvadan Corp., Clifton, ~. J.
~he effective amount of ultraviolet-absorbing agent used in the practice of this inven-tion is from about 0.01% to about 10% by weight of the aqueous solution or dispersion. However, the preferred range is from about 0.1~ to about 2.0% by weight.
"Polyethylenimine or hydrophilic polyethylenimine derivative," as used in the specification and claims, includes derivatives of materials which can vary in molecular weight from about 1,000 to about 100,000. Hydrophilic polyethylenimine derivatives within the scope of this definition include hydroxyethylated polyethylenimine, which is the reaction product of poly-ethylenimine with ethylene oxide; propoxylated polyethylenimine, which is the reaction product of polyethylenimine with propylene oxide; epichloro-hydrin-modified polyethylene imine and urea-modified polyethylenimine.
1~7~3 Generally, a weight ratio of ]:1 to 1:0.1 of polyetbylenimine to ethylene oxide is preferred; for propylene oxide, 1:0.1 to 1:1.1; for epichlorohydrin about 1:1 and for urea about 1:1. Preferably, polyethyleni~ine or hydro-philic polyethylenimine derivatives used in the practice of this invention have a molecular weight from 1,000 to about 60,000, most preferably from about 40,000 to about 60,000.
Polyethylenimine can be purchased from the Dow Chemical Co., Midland, Michigan. The product designated as PEI 600 has a molecular weight in the 40,000 to 60,000 range. PEI 600 and other commercially available polyethylenimines can be modified as set forth above to give hydrophilic derivatives.
The weight ratio of polyethylenimine or hydrophilic polyethyl-enimine derivatives to carboxylated hydrophilic acrylic polymeris preferably -varied from about 1:1 to about 10:1 in the compositions of this invention particularly adapted for protecting surfaces against graffiti.
The combination of carboxylated hy~drophilic acrylic polymer and polyethylenimine or hydrophilic polyethylenimine derivative, if present, constitutes from about 5% to about 60% by weight of the solution or disper-sion. Preferably, however, the combination constitutes from about 10% to about 50% by weight of the solution or dispersion.
The amount of cross-linking agent can be varied from about 0.1% to about 15% by weight of the solution, but amounts of the order of about 1.0%
to about 10% by weight are preferred.
The solutions or dispersions of this invention can be applied directly or following dilution with from about one to about ten volumes of water. Undiluted compositions are preferably used for protection against graffiti. For other purposes or for ease of application, dilution with three to six volumes of water is preferred. The recommended dilution de-pends essentially on the porosity of the substrate being protected. For example, a six-fold dilution is preferred for application to hard marble alld a three-~`old di~ut;ioll for al-plication -to limes-tone.
The method Or this invcntic)n contemplates application of the pre-servative composition to porous inorganic substrates prepared only by simple cleaning by a variety of conventional techniques, including pressure spray-ing, brushing, doctor blade application and the like. The preservative com-position is permitted to dry in the air, unless the user desires to acceler-ate the cross-linking process by application of heat below temperatures at which the polymeric constituents would burn or melt.
Generally, the amount of solution or dispersion is applied at the rate of about 1 gallon to about 4 gallons per 400 square feet. Preferably, the level is 1-2 gallons per 400 square feet.
