Abstract:
A surface treated with an aqueous surface treatment composition, comprising:a surface selected from the group consisting of wood, reconstituted wood, plastics, paper, cementatious substrates, previously primed substrates, and previously coated substrates; and an aqueous surface treatment coating composition applied to said surface, said aqueous surface treatment composition comprising: (a) a polymeric water soluble thickening agent comprising a crosslinked alkyl vinyl ether/maleic anhydride copolymer; (b) water; (c) one or more than one basic neutralizing agent; and (d) one or more than one coloring agent, wherein said composition is prepared, in part, by hydrolysis of said anhydride groups of said crosslinked alkyl vinyl ether/maleic anhydride copolymer to their corresponding carboxylic acid groups, followed by neutralizing of said carboxylic acid groups with said basic neutralizing agent(s), and the composition is non-film forming upon application to a surface.
