A corrosion-resistant self-priming coating comprising from 30-70 parts by weight of an alkyd resin binder, l-30 parts by weight of an alkaline earth metal phosphate; 0.1-10 parts by weight of a zinc benzoate; l-30 parts by weight of an aluminum triphosphate; l-40 parts by weight of titanium dioxide; O-2.0 parts by weight of an oil-soluble surface ac- tive agent; and 140 parts by weight of at least one organic solvent.

Coating Composition U.S. Patent 5,539,057. July 23, 1996 K. Safou et al., assignors to Hifachi Chemncal Co. Ltd., Tokyo

A resin composition for coating, which comprises a mixture of a nonaqueous dis- persion resin containing a vinyl polymer sol-

uble in an organic solvent mainly comprising prising electrostatic coating means; clean- an aliphatic hydrocarbon, and vinyl polymer ing means for removing excess or particles, which are insoluble in the organic undesired powder coating from areas of the solvent and obtained by polymerizing a po- workpiece; and means for translating the lymerizable unsaturated compound in the or- workpiece in a first direction along a trans- ganic solvent using the vinyl polymer as a lation plane; wherein said cleaning means dispersant; and a solvent resin of a vinyl comprises a substantially closed vacuum polymer having a silyl group. chamber.
