Abstract:
A coating composition for a food or beverage can that includes an emulsion polymerized latex polymer formed by combining an ethylenically unsaturated monomer component with an aqueous dispersion of a water-dispersible polymer.
Abstract:
A polyester polymer is provided that includes at least one pendant phenolic-containing group. In one embodiment, the polyester polymer is combined with an optional crosslinker and an optional carrier to form a coating composition suitable for use in coating articles such as packaging articles. The coating composition typically includes a resole phenolic crosslinker. In one embodiment, the polyester polymer has at least one phenolic-containing group that comprises an adduct of cardanol.
Abstract:
A mobile retail unit and associated network and method of use, where the mobile retail unit includes one or more of a customized-tint station and a climate-control system. The mobile retail unit also includes a computer-based system for storing inventory and order information, and which may include a network adapter configured to relay the inventory information and the order information over a wireless network between the computer-based system and a remote network center.
Abstract:
An interior portion of a container (e.g., a lid portion, a base portion, etc.) includes one or more walls of a body of material (e.g., in a hexagonal configuration, a spiral configuration, a concentric circular configuration, etc.) that define one or more reservoirs. The one or more reservoirs are open to receive fluid composition therein (e.g., when the lid is positioned to close the container).
Abstract:
Dental materials may be made from polyhydric phenols that are non-genotoxic and exhibit estrogenic activity less than that of bisphenol S, while exhibiting properties such as strength and flexibility comparable to those of conventional BPA-derived dental materials.
Abstract:
A polymer is provided that preferably includes at least one unsaturated cycloaliphatic group. In one embodiment, the polymer is combined with an optional crosslinker and an optional carrier to form a coating composition suitable for use in coating articles such as packaging articles. In one embodiment, the polymer has at least one unsaturated cycloaliphatic group that is at least bicyclic.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a binder useful in coating end uses. The binder preferably includes an aqueous polymer dispersion and a vinyl polymer. The binder is useful in packaging coatings, including coatings for use on food or beverage cans, or a portion thereof.
Abstract:
A water-dispersible polyurethane polymer useful in coating applications preferably includes a backbone having urethane linkages and at least one cycloaliphatic group having a closed aliphatic ring structure. Ethylenically unsaturated groups are preferably provided on the polyurethane polymer.
Abstract:
A method to prevent gelation of an uncured gelcoat composition during storage is described. The method includes applying a gelation inhibitor to the surface of a gelcoat composition in the container to prevent premature gelation. The gelation inhibitor additionally prevents the formation of a crust on the inner surface of storage container lids.
