Abstract: A water-base aerosol coating composition, for application to a surface to be coated from a pre-packaged pressurized spray container, which contains greater than 10 Wt. % and up to about 25 Wt. % of a water dispersible acrylic modified alkyd resin, from about 0.4 to about 0.6 Wt. % of an amine neutralizing agent, less than 0.45 Wt. % of an organophilic clay dispersing agent, and from about 0.1 to about 0.5 Wt. % of an organic rheological agent. The formulation also includes from about 11 to about 17 Wt. % of a first solvent comprising glycol ether, from about 14 to about 18.5 Wt. % of a second solvent comprising water, and from about 38 to about 42 Wt. % of a cosolvent propellant comprising dimethyl ether. From about 1.17 Wt. % to less than 2.46 Wt. % of a barium metaborate monohydrate corrosion inhibitor is included, and an antiblock function is provided by including more than 0.3 wt.

Abstract: Water based aerosol coatings which comprise water reducible resin, dimethylether, water and water soluble solvent are described. The improved water reducible aerosol coatings can be cleaned up with water, have high gloss, are non-flammable and contain no aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene or xylene.
