Coating composition

Abstract

The invention relates to a coating composition comprising (i) a supporting medium, and (ii) a plurality of cellulose particles, having an average dry particle size of less than 10 μm, dispersed in the supporting medium, excluding aqueous coating compositions adapted for application to paper. The invention also relates to a coating composition comprising (i) a supporting medium, and (ii) a plurality of cellulose particles, having an average dry particle size of less than 10 μm, dispersed in the supporting medium in an amount of less than about 5 g/L. The coating compositions of the invention form coatings which have useful thermal properties.

1 . A liquid paint composition comprising 0.0002 g/L to about 0.1 g/L of cellulose particles having an average dry particle size of less than 10 μm dispersed in the composition. 
   
   
       2 . An adhesive composition comprising 0.0002 g/L to about 0.1 g/L of cellulose particles having an average dry particle size of less than 10 μm dispersed in the composition. 
   
   
       3 . A foam composition comprising 0.0002 g/L to about 0.1 g/L of cellulose particles having an average dry particle size of less than 10 μm dispersed in the composition. 
   
   
       4 . A coating formed from a composition according to any one of  claims 1  to  3 . 
   
   
       5 . An article or structure wherein at least one surface of the article or structure has applied to it a coating formed from a composition according to any one of  claims 1  to  3 . 
   
   
       6 . An article or structure wherein at least one surface of the article or structure has applied to it a multiple layer coating with one or more layers of the coating being formed from a composition according to any one of  claims 1  to  3 .
