Abstract:
A process for applying a paint or protective coating to a surface comprising the steps of:(i) providing an elastomeric resin substrate; (ii) contacting the substrate surface with a composition comprising from about 0.5% to 5% by weight of a styrenic copolymer resin and from 95% to 99.5% by weight of a terpene solvent, wherein the terpene solvent is selected from the group consisting of d-limonene, 1 limonene, d1-limonene, dipentene, terpineol, sesquiterpene, natural extracts containing these terpenes, and mixtures thereof, and the styrenic copolymer resin is selected from the group consisting of styrene-butadiene rubber, styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymers, styrene-ethylene-propylene-styrene block copolymers, styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene block copolymers and mixtures thereof; and (iii) curing the applied composition to form a layer on the elastomeric substrate.
