Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an amphiphilic copolymer comprising: a) repeating monomeric units comprising a pendant zwitterionic moiety; b) repeating monomeric units comprising a pendant group comprising a fluorine-containing group and at least one heteroatom; and c) optionally, secondary repeating monomeric units comprising a pendant group comprising a functional group selected from the group consisting of phosphate groups, phosphonate groups, sulfonate groups, alkoxysilane groups, carboxylate groups, and any combinations thereof; and wherein the repeating monomeric units of the amphiphilic copolymer independently comprise an ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable group selected from the group of (meth)acrylate ester containing groups. In another aspect, the present disclosure is directed to a protective coating composition comprising: a) an amphiphilic co polymer as described above, and b) a solvent comprising water.
Abstract:
A method of making a coatable composition includes: a) providing a initial composition comprising silica nanoparticles dispersed in an aqueous liquid medium, wherein the silica nano articles have a particle size distribution with an average particle size of less than or equal to 100 nanometers, and wherein the silica sol has a pH greater than 6; b) acidifying the initial composition to a pH of less than or equal to 4 using inorganic acid to provide an acidified composition; and c) dissolving at least one metal compound in the acidified composition to provide a coatable composition. Coatable compositions and soil-resistant compositions, preparable by the method, are also disclosed. Soil-resistant articles including the soil-resistant compositions are also disclosed.
Abstract:
This invention relates to coating compositions useful for the prevention and/or removal of limescale and/or soap scum. More specifically, the present invention is directed to a coating composition comprising acidified silica nanoparticles and a sulfonated polymer. The present invention is further directed to a method for the prevention and/or removal of limescale and/or soap scum from the surface of a substrate. The invention also relates to the use of such a coating composition for the prevention and/or removal of limescale and/or soap scum from the surface of a substrate.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a multilayer pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) film, having a first pressure sensitive adhesive layer and at least an opposing layer, wherein the first pressure sensitive adhesive layer comprises a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition with a (meth)acrylic-based elastomeric material comprising a reaction product of polymerizable material comprising: (a) a first monomer which is an alkyl (meth)acrylate ester of a primary alcohol R1—OH, the alkyl (meth)acrylate ester being of Formula (I) CH2═C(R2)—(CO)—OR1 (I) wherein R1 is an alkyl having 14 to 25 carbon atoms and the primary alcohol R1—OH has an iso index equal to at least 2 but no greater than 4; R2 is hydrogen or methyl; and (b) a second monomer having an ethylenically unsaturated group; wherein the at least one opposing layer comprises at least one filler material. The invention is also directed to a method for the manufacturing of such a multilayer PSA film and its use.
