Abstract:
The invention relates to Nano- or microsized containers comprising either a water immiscible or sparingly miscible core dispersible in aqueous dispersion medium or a water miscible core dispersible in non-aqueous dispersion medium and a core-soluble active agent which is selected from the groups of corrosion inhibitors, catalysts, accelerators of catalysts, adhesives, sealants, polymerizable compounds (monomers), surfactants, lubricants, antifouling agents, water repelling materials or their mixtures, and a stimulus-sensitive polymer/polyelectrolyte shell which is capable to encapsulate the core-soluble active agent and release the encapsulated agent in response to an external stimulus, in particular selected from the group consisting of humidity, ionic strength, pH, temperature, mechanical stress, constant and alternating magnetic or electromagnetic fields, corrosion products, electric current, and electrochemical potential. The invention also relates to feedback active coatings comprising said containers which have a broad range of application and can be used, for example, in the field of corrosion protection of metals, protection of wet surfaces from fouling, or production of new water-repelling materials for textile industry.
Abstract:
A microbicidal composition containing: (a) 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one; and (b) at least one microbicide selected from linoleamidopropyl PG-dimonium chloride phosphate and cocamidopropyl PG-dimonium chloride phosphate.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are antifouling compositions including at least one spinosyn active material. These compositions provide protection to surfaces coated or impregnated therewith from attachment of various biofouling organisms. Compositions include, for example, paint, varnish, and sealant formulations.
Abstract:
There is provided an anti-fouling composition comprising (i) a surface coating material; (ii) (a) a first enzyme; and (b) a first substrate, wherein action of the first enzyme on the first substrate provides a second substrate (iil) a second enzyme, wherein the second enzyme is encapsulated in a silicate, and wherein said second enzyme generates an anti-foulant compound when acting on said second substrate.
Abstract:
An underwater antifouling coating composition is provided. This coating composition comprises a non-silicone resin blended with a water-insoluble ionic liquid having a melting point of up to 35°C.
Abstract:
Oils of capsaicinoids and methods of making and using them are described. In some variations, the oils of capsaicinoids comprise at least 40% w/w capsaicinoid and a solvent capable of solubilizing the capsaicinoid, wherein the oil of capsaicinoid is substantially free of capsaicinoid crystals or capsaicinoid precipitates. In other variations, the oils of capsaicinoids consist essentially of at least 40% w/w capsaicinoid and a solvent capable of solubilizing the capsaicinoid. The solvent may be a semi-volatile solvent, a non-volatile solvent, or a volatile solvent, and the oil may comprise at least 50% w/w capsaicinoid, 60% w/w capsaicinoid, 70% w/w capsaicinoid, 80% w/w capsaicinoid, 90% w/w capsaicinoid, or 95% w/w capsaicinoid. The oil of capsaicinoid may also include a crystallization inhibitor.
Abstract:
The present invention aims to provide a composition having excellent stain resistance, which is mainly used for a one-pack coating material. A further aim of the invention is to achieve excellent storage stability and maintain excellent stain resistance even after storage by using the composition. The invention provides a resin composition for a one-pack coating material including: component (A) that is a polymer having a main chain substantially composed of an acrylic copolymer chain, and having, at a terminal of the main chain and/or in a side chain, at least one silicon group bonded to a hydrolyzable group; and component (B) that is a specific silicon compound; and if necessary, component (C) that is a compound having an amino group and/or a group hydrolyzable to an amino group; and component (D) that is another organic resin. The composition has excellent storage stability and maintains excellent stain resistance even after storage.
