Abstract: A solvent system is provided, which enables increased amount of exact color tone recipes even when using with currently known dispensing machines having a minimum dispensing limit of 0.01-0.02 ml of a color paste component. The system enables a capability of tinting paints in a tone-accurate manner even into aerosol paint cans of small filling volume. The system provides a capability of radically reducing the amount of various ready-to-use aerosol paints and aerosol base paints stocked by a storekeeper. The disclosure provides an aerosol paint for tinting, as well as a tinted aerosol paint which is suitable for use in a process of mechanized tinting, and by which a good paint coverage on a painted surface is achieved.

Abstract: The invention relates to a water based paint composition to be used in a pressurized and sealed aerosol can and which composition contains A) up to 24% w/w of propellant gas which is dimethyl ether (DME); B) up to 76% w/w of coating material, consisting nonvolatile content in the range of 65-95% w/w and volatile content in the range of 5-35% w/w; —which volatile content contains water up to 0-100% w/w and additives, co-solvents and dispersing agents which comprise altogether of 0-9% w/w of volatile liquids, having 0-10% w/w preferably less than 5% w/w of volatile organic compounds (VOC) provided that the aggregate amount of dimethyl ether (DME) and the volatile organic compounds (VOC) in volatile liquids is such that VOC concentration is below 186 g/l (responding about 24% w/w, calculated as DME).

Abstract: A water-based paint composition for pressurized, sealed aerosol can, and method to make same is disclosed. The composition contains up to 24% w/w propellant gas dimethyl ether (DME); up to 76% w/w coating material, consisting of 65-95% w/w nonvolatile content and 5-35% w/w volatile content. The volatile content contains 0-100% w/w water and additives, co-solvents and dispersing agents comprising altogether of 0-6% w/w volatile liquids, having 0-10% w/w, preferably 0-5% w/w volatile organic compounds (VOC) provided that the aggregate amount of DME and the VOC in volatile liquids remains below about 24% w/w calculated as DME, and nonvolatile content comprises 0-30% w/w color pigments and optional fillers, 45-99% w/w polyurethane modified alkyd resin or alkyd resin and additives up to 9% w/w. The resin is present as emulsified dispersion in water miscible preferably up to 5% w/w solvent comprising water and DME.

Abstract: The invention relates to a solvent system, which consists of a liquid present in the cup of an aerosol can filling device, said cup having functionally connected thereto mechanized color paste dispensing elements which enable dispensing into the filling device's cup one color paste in an amount A, which is at least Amin, as well as of an aerosol base paint present in the aerosol can.
