Abstract:
The present invention provides a coating composition having excellent weatherability and durability. The coating composition includes a binder system comprising a durable polyester resin and a siliconized polyester resin having up to about 45 wt % silicone content. Coated articles with the coating composition applied to at least a portion of a surface thereof are also provided.
Abstract:
Methods and compositions for coating metal substrates with powder coatings are provided. The methods and systems include application of TGIC-reactive carboxyl-functional polyester resins with high acid number and low melt viscosity, used in powder coatings formulated at high pigment loadings, and optionally including a pigment dispersant in the premix prior to extrusion.
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:
This invention relates to coating compositions that include water; a latex polymer and a silane coupling agent. The latex polymer preferably comprises acetoacetoxy functionality, or is a multistage latex, or is an acetoacetoxy functional multistage latex. The silane coupling agent is preferably a functionalized silane coupling agent (more preferably an epoxy-functional silane coupling agent). The compositions may be used to coat a variety of substrates, including wood, cement and fiber cement. Articles having the coating applied thereto are also provided.
Abstract:
A custom color paint or stain tinting system employs a dark-colored non-infrared-absorptive liquid base paint or stain and a point-of-sale array of concentrated liquid colorants which when dispensed into the base paint or stain provide custom-tinted non-infrared-absorptive paints or stains in lightened shades and a variety of tints. Dark custom-tinted paints or stains are tinted lighter from a dark-colored base, not darker from a white or light colored base as is done in conventional point-of-sale systems.
Abstract:
A method includes applying a hydrophobic coating composition to a backside of a wooden board to prevent warping and cupping when the board is exposed to water vapor. The coating composition can include a chlorinated resin and water, or may be a solvent-based or a 100% solids composition including an epoxy(meth)acrylate, a polyester(meth)acrylate, a polyether(meth)acrylate, or a polyurethane(meth)acrylate, a multifunctional (meth)acrylate, and a photoinitiator.
Abstract:
An acetoacetyl-functional silicon-based resin includes at least a fraction with a branched molecular skeleton containing silicon atoms and acetoacetyl functional groups chemically bonded to the branched molecular skeleton. The acetoacetyl functional silicon-based resin can be used to formulate coating compositions.
Abstract:
Actuator apparatus for spray containers and methods of manufacturing actuator apparatus for spray containers. The actuator apparatus includes a cover having a restraint structure, e.g., locatable below an aperture portion of a push button of a base, to restrict the push button from depression by a user when the actuator apparatus is in a locked position.
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 polymer and coating composition containing the polymer are provided that are useful in coating applications such as, for example, food or beverage packaging containers. The polymer preferably includes a backbone having one or more polycyclic groups. In one embodiment, the polymer is a polyester and, more preferably, a polyester-urethane polymer. In one embodiment, the one or more polycyclic groups is a tricyclic or higher group.
