Process for reducing metal exposures of siccative organic coatings

摘要

A process is described for reducing the metal exposure rating of metal surfaces which subsequently are coated with a siccative coating which comprises contacting said metal surface with an aqueous composition comprising a polyethylene selected from the group consisting of ethylene homopolymers, oxidized ethylene homopolymers, ethylene/acrylate copolymers, and terpolymers containing ethylene, acrylates, and esters. A process is also described for improving the mobility of formed metal surfaces and reducing the metal exposure rating of the surfaces which subsequently are coated with a siccative coating.
