Abstract:
This invention provides a polymer, which is preferably a polyether polymer. The polymer may be uses in coating compositions. Containers and other articles comprising the polymer and methods of making such containers and other articles are also provided. The invention further provides compositions including the polymer (e.g., powder coatings), which have utility in a variety of coating end uses, including, for example, valve and pipe coatings.
Abstract:
A copolymer is made by feeding one or more added olefinic monomers into a reaction vessel containing a non-homopolymerizable olefinic monomer heated to a temperature of at least about 100° C. The process may be performed in a batch or continuous fashion, may use an unpressurized reactor, may be performed without added solvent, and may form a copolymer whose number average molecular weight is less than about 4,000 amu and whose polydispersity is less than about 3.
Abstract:
A method to accelerate cure of a multicomponent coating composition is described herein, including the steps of providing an isocyanate and an isocyanate-reactive compound, and replacing a portion of the isocyanate-reactive compound with a compound of formula I:
Abstract:
An adhesive binder composition for adhering a paper sheet to a gypsum article with a gypsum layer having at least one paper sheet on a major surface thereof. The adhesive binder composition includes a polymeric adhesive and at least one surfactant. The adhesive binder composition resides at a boundary between the gypsum layer and the paper sheet.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for coating metal substrates are provided. The methods and systems include sequential application of low flow and high flow powder coatings followed by a single heating step to provide a cured coating. The methods and systems include a marker that allows coating uniformity to be monitored and assessed during application. The described methods provide coatings with optimal surface smoothness and edge coverage.
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 color sampling display product is provided that includes a radiation-curable water-based coating composition applied to a substrate, and shows mechanical integrity and aesthetic appeal.
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.
