An oxidized zinc pigment has been developed that can be used in a waterborne coating. The zinc metal allows for improved stability in waterborne systems while retaining the level of activity required for an anticorrosive material. This pigment is oxidized enough to prevent corrosion and still be dispersed in the waterborne coating, while still allowing for cathodic and anodic corrosion protection in the coating once applied to a metal surface. This zinc pigment may also be used in a waterborne ink or coating system and also for coated metal articles.

An aerosol coating composition contains at least one film-forming resin, trans-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene and at least one propellant such as CO.sub.2. The aerosol coating composition is non-flammable and compatible with polyethylene terephthalate. The film-forming resin may be acrylic resins, alkyd resins or mixtures thereof. A glycol ether solvent may be present. The coating composition may have low toxicity, be non-ozone depleting, have low or no VOC, be low in maximum incremental reactivity and/or be low in global warming potential. A method of coating a substrate with the aerosol coating composition comprises providing at least one film-forming resin selected from the group consisting of acrylic resins, alkyd resins, and mixtures thereof and trans-1-chloro-trifluoropropene in a container comprising polyethylene terephthalate, which is charged with a propellant comprising carbon dioxide. The aerosol coating composition is non-flammable. The composition is applied to a substrate and allowed to dry.
