Abstract:
The present invention provides shelf stable redispersible multilayer polymer particles (RDPs) comprising a major proportion of epoxy resins, a methacrylic acid or anhydride containing alkali soluble polymer outer layer and a hydrophobic chain transfer agent or a high glass transition temperature colloidal stabilizer, such as poly(vinyl pyrrolidinone) or its copolymer, as well as to methods of making the same.
Abstract:
A mixture contains: (a) an acrylic core-shell redispersible polymer powder with a core polymer that is an acrylic having a glass transition temperature in a range of −40 to 50 degrees Celsius and a shell polymer that is alkali soluble and contains more carboxyl-group functionalities than the core polymer and containing a nucleating agent having a boiling point of 150-500 degrees Celsius and a water solubility of 3.5 weight-percent or less; and (b) a second redispersible polymer powder selected from acetate ethylene copolymer redispersible polymer powders and polymer powders of a blend of vinyl acetate ethylene copolymer and vinyl ester of versatic acid copolymer; where the concentration of (a) is more than 20 weight-percent and less than 100 weight-percent of the total combined weight of (a) and (b). The mixture can further contain: (c) a Portland cement; (d) alumina rich cement; and (e) calcium sulfate.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a water redispersible polymer powder (RDP) for use in the preparation of non-cementitious exterior finishing compositions such as textured paint formulations. Also provided are non-cementitious exterior finishing compositions comprising such RDPs and a method of coating a surface with such a finishing composition. When the RDP of the invention is incorporated into an exterior finishing composition such as a topcoat formulation of an external insulation finishing system (EIFS), the resultant composition provides improved dirt pickup resistance without a loss in wet abrasion resistance over conventional textured paint formulations comprising acrylic latex powders and, preferably, acrylic latexes.
Abstract:
A mixture of first and second redispersible polymer powders where the first redispersible polymer powder has a copolymer having a glass transition temperature of 60 degrees Celsius or higher and an acid level in a range of 0.1 to 8 weight-percent percent as determined by potentiometric titration according to ASTM D664 and the second redispersible polymer powder is selected from vinyl acetate ethylene copolymer redispersible polymer powders and polymer powders of a blend of vinyl acetate ethylene copolymer and vinyl ester of versatic acid copolymer is useful as a component in a dry-mix formulation that further contains Portland cement, alumina rich cement and calcium sulfate.
Abstract:
The present invention is method comprising the steps of a) contacting 4-hydroxyphenone and a salt thereof with propylene oxide in a reactor heated to a temperature in the range of from 100° C. to 200° C. to form a poly(propylene oxide)-benzophenone intermediate; then b) contacting the intermediate with ethylene oxide in the heated reactor to form an alkoxylated benzophenone substituted with propylene oxide groups and ethylene oxide groups. The method of the present invention is useful for preparing a non-volatile alkoxylated benzophenone photoinitiator that gives long lasting gloss retention in an exterior architectural coating.
Abstract:
The present invention provides multilayer polymer redispersible powder (RDP) particles comprising a major proportion of from 50 to 90 wt. %, preferably, from 60 to 85 wt. %, based on total polymer solids, of epoxy resin resins having a calculated glass transition temperature (Tg) of from 0 to 40° C., a methacrylic acid containing alkali soluble polymer outer layer, and a divalent metal, such as zinc powder, having an aqueous pKa of 9.55 or more, or its acid salt having a pH of 7.0 or less, such as strong acid salts, e.g., chlorides, sulfates or phosphates, or organic acid salts, e.g., acetates, succinates and citrates, as well as to methods of making the same.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a compound which is a benzophenone substituted with a hydroxyl-terminated alkylene oxide group (R) of formula 1:
where R is a combination of from 1 to 13 propylene oxide groups and from 5 to 20 ethylene oxide groups, with the proviso that the sum of the propylene oxide groups and the ethylene oxide groups is not greater than 25. The compound of the present invention provides a non-volatile, non-toxic photoinitiator that provides excellent gloss retention in exterior architectural coatings.
