, Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to the field of coating compositions. Specifically, it relates to eco-friendly, water-based glitter spray paint composition which enables broad scope for spray application on variety of surfaces like textile, paper, metal, plastic, and glass.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Water-based aerosol spray paints which are prepared by mixing metallic pigments and resin compositions in water are known and extensively used as top coating material. Such water-based aerosol spray paints play a key role in reducing environmental pollution, but have their own defects.
[0004] Patent No: US8916181B1 describes composition of mixture of volatile organic solvent, binder polymer, glitter particles, rheology modifier and propellant. This composition contains hydrocarbons as propellant which is highly flammable. The volatile organic solvents used in this composition are toxic and have adverse effect on the environment and the user. Limitation: Synergistic use of volatile organic solvent with hydrocarbons makes the composition highly flammable and unsafe for indoor application. Volatile organic solvents used in the composition makes it adverse for the environment and the user and also restricts the use of the composition in the indoor environment. Substrate suitability is not mentioned.
[0005] Patent No: 6649686 describes the composition of decorative component along with mixture of solvents, alkali swellable adhesive, a surfactant, biocide, glycol and a defoamer. The composition is completely washable from fabric which is undesirable for the art users. It also uses PVA as one of the adhesives in the composition. Limitation: The composition limits the user to achieve wash durable effect on textile. Propellant free composition is not suitable for substrates other than textile due to their low vertical cling property (sagging behaviour) after spraying. PVA hardens the textile surfaces and makes it rough for touch.
[0006] Patent No: US3819119A describes the use of different colours of glitter particles and use of binder system, propellant and solvent in the formulation. Limitations: Use of hydrocarbon as propellant along with solvent creates the composition unsafe for indoor application. Substrate suitability is not mentioned.
[0007] Patent No: US5071900A describes a composition of a film former, a thickening agent, water, pigment and propellant. The propellant used is Dimethyl ether. The composition is water based. Limitations: The invention does not speak about the suitability of glitter particles in the aerosol composition. Substrate suitability is not mentioned.
[0008] Patent No: US4859242A describes a composition that comprises a water-soluble paint, water, polymeric thickener, sparkle or glitter, water soluble wax and colouring agents. The composition is focused on water-based glitter formulations. Limitations: The invention is not focused on the aerosol spray formulation application
[0009] Patent No: US20160002475A1 describes a water-based paint composition for aerosol cans with the use of Dimethyl ether as a propellant and the paint component with water as a solvent. Limitations: The invention has not pointed out the odor levels in the formulation and substrate suitability and durability levels. The invention, also, doesn’t address the non-oxidizable glitter particles and the process in detail.
[0010] There is a continuing need for development of eco-friendly, odourless, water-based glitter paint compositions that provide an improved cling property on surfaces like metal, glass, paper, plastic, and the like.

[0067] In an embodiment, the present disclosure provides a method for producing eco-friendly water-based aerosol glitter spray paint composition, said method comprising the steps of:
Film former is slowly added in water in the reactor. The components are mixed until a homogenous mixture is achieved. The anti-foaming and de-aerating agent is then added slowly to remove all the foam and bubbles generated in the homogenous mix. The resin is then added in the mixture and stirred until homogenous.
The particle size of the glitter powder was grounded well in a grinder and particles below 60 microns were filtered out. The process of grinding of the glitter particles was repeated and continued until the particle size achieved was below 50 microns, preferably between 5 to 40 microns and further preferable between 10 to 30 microns.
Glitter powders are then added slowly in recirculation followed by addition of rheology modifier. The composition then undergoes the homogenization process to give a perfectly dispersed glitter formulation which is the glitter part.
The glitter part composition is then filled in the can. A steel ball is added which is required to maintain good dispersion before spraying and the propellent is pumped to give pressure of 5 bar. This aerosol can which contains the composition with glitter part and the Dimethyl ether as propellent is now the water-based glitter aerosol spray.
The aerosol can is then shaken well to maintain the proper dispersion of glitter powder and sprayed on different surfaces like textile, paper, metal, glass and plastic to check the efficiency, the effect yield, the durability and odour after spraying.
[0068] While the foregoing describes various embodiments of the disclosure, other and further embodiments of the disclosure may be devised without departing from the basic scope thereof. The scope of the invention is determined by the claims that follow. The invention is not limited to the described embodiments, versions or examples, which are included to enable a person having ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention when combined with information and knowledge available to the person having ordinary skill in the art.
[0069] In an embodiment, the eco-friendly water-based aerosol glitter spray paint composition of the present invention maybe used in any manner known to a person skilled in the art.
