Abstract:
The present invention provides an ultraviolet curable composition including: an urethane resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group, which is obtained by reacting a polyol and a polyisocyanate with each other, wherein the polyol contains an alkylene diol having two or more polymerizable unsaturated groups, which is represented by general formula (1), or an oxyalkylene diol having two or more polymerizable unsaturated groups, which is represented by general formula (2); an aqueous medium; and a photopolymerization initiator having an absorption peak at a wavelength in the range of from 320 to 460 nm. The ultraviolet curable composition is satisfactorily cured even when using an LED lamp as a light source, and can form a cured coating film having both elongation and surface hardness. €ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ HO-R 1 -OH €ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ (1) €ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ HO-R 1 O-R 2 -OR 3 -OH €ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ (2)
Abstract:
The present invention provides polymer modified aqueous urea formaldehyde resin (UF resin) binder compositions useful in making a treated glass mat, e.g., for roofing shingles, wherein the polymer modifier is an multistage aqueous emulsion acorn copolymer comprising one protuberant polymer stage containing phosphorous acid groups and one or more other polymer stage comprising an addition copolymer incompatible with the protuberant polymer stage, wherein the multistage aqueous emulsion copolymer has a measured Tg of from −60 to 25° C., or, preferably from 31 30 to 12° C. and, further wherein the weight ratio of the total of monomers used to make the one or more other polymer stage to the total amount of monomers used to make the protuberant polymer stage ranges from 3:1 to 50:1, or, preferably, from 3:1 to 30:1 or, more preferably, from 3:1 to 20:1, or, even more preferably, from 8:1 to 12:1.

Abstract:
Provided are a method for producing a polyvinyl alcohol resin which is highly transparent in the form of an aqueous solution, has a good appearance when formed into a film or an aqueous gel, and improves ink acceptability and color appearance and exhibits water resistance when used for a thermal recording material or an ink-jet recording material; and a polyvinyl alcohol resin obtained by the method. In particular, provided is a method for producing a polyvinyl alcohol resin, comprising the steps of copolymerizing an aliphatic vinyl ester (A) with diacetone acrylamide (B), at least a part of which diacetone acrylamide (B) is added at a later stage, in the presence of a polymerization catalyst in an alcohol solvent, so that the ratio (a)/(b) of the polymerization yield at the end of the polymerization (a) to the polymerization yield at the end of the later addition (b) of diacetone acrylamide (B) is in the range of 1.01 to 1.10, and saponifying the resulting copolymer.
Abstract:
At least a two-layer protective coating system including: (a) a layer of a fusion bonded epoxy, and (b) a layer of a spray-dried protective powder coating disposed on at least a portion of the top surface of the fusion bonded epoxy layer (a), said powder coating being cured to form a protective coating on at least a portion of the fusion bonded epoxy layer; a process for preparing the above two-layer protective coating system; a substrate such as a metal pipe coated with the above two-layer protective coating system; and a process for producing a coated article such as a coated metal pipe using the above two-layer protective coating system.
Abstract:
The present application is directed to methods for solvent-free preparation of polymers and their subsequent processing into activated carbon materials. These methods unexpectedly demonstrate ability to tune pore structure in the polymer gel and carbon produced there from, while also providing distinct advantages over the current art.
Abstract:
Two-part aqueous coating compositions as well as methods of using thereof are described. The first coating component can comprise one or more polymers and the second coating component can comprise a flocculant. The first coating component and the second coating component can be provided as separate aqueous compositions. The first coating component and a second coating component that can be co-applied (e.g., simultaneously or sequentially) to a surface form a rapid set coating.
