COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Compound or Material for Use in connection with Non-oleaginous
Protective Coverings or Paints.
1, JOHN CARRINGTON SELLARS, of 68 Bridge Street, Birkenhead, in the
County of Chester, Cement Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention has reference to protective coverings or paints for covering metal
and other surfaces; and has for its object, mainly, to provide improvements in
connection with coverings, such as of the type or kind referred to in the
Specifications of my former Patents No. 1457 of 1895 and No. 5291 of 1895,
i.e. coverings or paints made substantially without oil, and wherein pores exist or
are caused by the drying thereof. The present invention consists of a special
compound or material for use in connection with such coverings or coatings for
filling the pores thereon, and which will not wash out if subjected to the action of
water or rain, and will completely fill the pores down to the surface to which the
covering is applied. In the case of the surface being that of iron or steel, or other
metal more or less readily corrodible, when subjected to the action of the
atmospheric air or salt or fresh water, damp, etcetera, the compound or material
passes into the pores of the covering or paint, and reaches the surface of the iron
or steel, and preserves it against corrosion for a great length of time.
According to this invention, the compound or material used for filling the pores
of the said coverings or parts comprises rosin and creosote or rosin-oil. These
substances are mixed together and brought to the consistency of paint so as to be
capable of being applied with a brush; and the covering so treated may be dried
by air alone, or it may be artificially heated and dried by oil or gas flame, or
the like.
According to one form of manufacture according to this invention, it is
advantageous to dissolve the rosin in petroleum oil, or other suitable oil, and
then mix it with the creosote or rosin oil. In this case, therefore, the material
would comprise rosin, petroleum, and creosote or rosin oil. One mixture or
compound containing such substances which will be found suitable for use in
connection with coverings or paints upon iron or steel (especially if subjected to
the action of salt, or fresh water) consists as follows:-
Rosin (4 lbs.) dissolved in
Petroleum (36 lbs.)
Creosote
