Abstract:
The invention relates to the discovery that pre-treating mineral oxide particles with a silylated polymeric coupling agent prior to suspending the particles in a binder polymer increases the crack resistance and adhesion of particles to a inkjet printing substrate such as paper sheets. Such pretreatment also reduces the amount of binder needed to achieve acceptable performance, leading to improvements in production speed and image quality.
Abstract:
To provide a hydrophilic coating composition excellent in hydrophilicity, wear resistance, transparency, storage stability, antifogging properties, antifouling properties, visible light transmittivity, adhesion properties, chemical resistance, weather resistance, and water resistance and a hydrophilic member using the composition. The hydrophilic coating composition has (A) a ternary copolymer having a1) a repeating unit having a hydrophilic group, a2) a repeating unit having a hydroxyl group, an epoxy group, an isocyanato group, a blocked isocyanato group, a carboxylic acid anhydride group, or an amino group, and a3) a repeating unit having a hydrolyzable silyl group; and (B) a metal complex catalyst, wherein a content of the repeating unit a1) having a hydrophilic group is 50 mol% or greater.
Abstract:
A shelf-stable water-borne dispersion or solution that cures rapidly and at low temperatures when coated onto a substrate can be prepared with an aqueous-based solution or stable aqueous dispersion of a polymer having a backbone containing pendant silanol groups which are sufficiently neutralized to inhibit silanol condensation.
Abstract:
A coating comprising the silated reaction product of R1(OH)m and OCN(CH2)tSiR4(OR5)2 and/or R2-(SiYX¿2?)n; a graft copolymer having an acrylic polymer based backbone and stabilizing arms comprising ethylenically unsaturated monomer, the backbone being insoluble and the arms being soluble in the composition; a melamine crosslinker; and an acrylic polyol; m, n, t, R?1, R2, R4, R5¿, X and Y defined in the text.
Abstract:
A one component, moisture-cure, colorless or colored, protective or decorative high-build lensing or doming resin system is described. Use of these polymer systems have the advantage of eliminating the mixing, handling, and high toxicity associated with standard two-component epoxy or polyurethane lensing resins, or one-component ultraviolet cured systems.
Abstract:
A coating fluid for forming a coating on a support for use in inkjet printing comprises a liquid medium having dispersed therein (a) an inorganic oxide selected from aluminium oxide and silica, (b) a binder polymer, and (c) a polymeric crosslinking agent containing functional groups for reaction with the inorganic oxide, wherein the crosslinking agent has not more than one functional group for reaction with the inorganic oxide per 400 units of molecular weight. The components (a), (b) and (c) are preferably dispersed in an aqueous liquid and preferably the relative amounts of inorganic oxide to polymeric crosslinking agent are from 500: 1 to 15:1 preferably 250:1 to 20:1, the relative amounts of inorganic oxide to binder polymer are from 50:1 to 2:1 preferably 20:1 to 4:1 and the relative amounts of binder polymer to polymeric crosslinking agent are from 40:1 to 2:1 preferably from 20:1 to 3:1 the amounts being by weight on a dry basis.
Abstract:
The present invention provides stable alkoxy silane containing compositions and methods for the preparation of a stable silane containing composition comprising: (I) a water insoluble or slightly soluble alkoxy silane; (II) emulsifier; (III) water; and (IV) water dispersible or emulsified polymer containing an alkoxy silane functional group. Also provided are two part systems such that an alkoxy silane emulsion comprising components (I)-(III) are combined and the component (IV) may be added upon use of components (I) to (III). Moreover, additional components (V) such as catalysts and pH buffers may be added. The compositions of the present invention are stable for at least about three to twelve months.
