Abstract:
1. A process for forming an elastomeric paint and/or elastomeric protective coating upon a thermoplastic elastomeric substrate forming an article and having a surface structure receptive to receiving at least one selective elastomeric paint coating, said process including: said thermoplastic elastic substrate substantially comprising a styrenic block copolymer; permanently applying a paint coating composition to the surface structure of a thermoplastic elastomeric substrate article, said elastomeric paint coating composition comprising: wherein each of said copolymers contains at least two thermodynamically incompatible segments, selected from the group consisting of: wherein said copolymers comprise between about 5% to 10% by weight of the elastomeric paint coating composition; wherein said mineral oil comprises between from about 5% to 15% by weight of said elastomeric paint coating composition; wherein said solvents comprise aromatic and aliphatic solvents, said aromatic solvents including toluene, xylene, aromatic 150 and aromatic 100, and said aliphatic solvents including heptane, cyclohexane, mineral spirits and VM & P, said solvents comprising between about 80% to about 90% by weight of the elastomeric paint coating composition; wherein said elastomeric paint coating composition includes pigments comprising at least one of luminescent pigment, fluorescent pigment, and thermochromic pigment, and said comprised between about 3% to 8% by weight of the elastomeric paint coating composition; wherein said at least one additive selected from the group consisting of adhesion modifier, matting powder, antistatic agent, defomer, wetting agent, antioxidant, anti-ultraviolet agent, and a fragrance, and said additives being added to adjust the coating composition for flow, viscosity, and surface characteristics; and applying said elastomeric protective coating onto the top coat treatment of the thermoplastic elastomeric article, wherein said elastomeric protective coating comprises: wherein said elastomeric paint and elastomeric protective coating furnishing protection to the imprinted article to provide scratch resistance and allow stretching of the article during its usage.
