Abstract:
The present invention relates to new acrylic associative thickening agents which, when polymerized in the presence of particular polyglycerols, ultimately result in an increase of the open time of the paint or of the thick coating in which they are incorporated. By so doing, painters and applicators will have more time to work the paint layers gradually or to correct imperfections such as paint droplets, traces of brushes and filling-knives.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel associative thickeners belonging to the category of the HEUR (Hydrophobically modified Ethoxylated URethanes), and also intermediate aqueous formulations containing such thickeners, and the final compositions, for example paint, lacquer, varnish or paper coating colour compositions.
Abstract:
The present invention pertains to the use, in the manufacture of an aqueous formulation with a hydraulic binder base, of a combination of at least one comb-branched copolymer having a (meth)acrylic skeleton, onto which are grafted side-chains terminated by a hydrophilic group, and at least one ASE acrylic polymer. This results in improving the workability of said formulation, without causing a segregation phenomenon.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a continuous process for preparing a comb polymer, without organic solvent, by esterification and/or amidification of an acidic homopolymer or copolymer, which consists in performing the esterification and/or amidification of said homopolymer/copolymer by reaction at elevated temperature in the mixing and transportation zone of a tubular reactor, optionally equipped with a water removal system, in the presence of at least one poly(alkylene glycol) in solid or molten form and of an antioxidant, said esterification and/or amidification taking place at a temperature greater than or equal to 170° C.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a process for producing an aqueous suspension of precipitated calcium carbonate, wherein a milk of lime is prepared by mixing water, a calcium oxide containing material, at least one water-soluble polymer having a molecular weight Mw in the range from 200 to 6500 g/mol, and at least one slaking additive, and subsequently, the milk of lime is carbonated to form an aqueous suspension of precipitated calcium carbonate.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a new solvent-free preparation method of a (meth)acrylic acid polymer in solution, where said polymer has a molecular weight less than 8,000 g/mol and a polydispersity IP index between 2 and 3 by radical polymerization, the polymers obtained by this means, and their applications in industry.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a new mineral matter particle hydrophobization agent and to its various uses for the surface treatment of mineral matter particles.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns polymeric-enveloped microparticles including at least one HASE type acrylic copolymer, at least one solid-liquid phase change material with a phase transition temperature ranging from 20 to 90° C., and at least one active agent. In particular, the microparticles include at least one HASE type acrylic copolymer including at least one anionic monomer with a polymerizable vinyl group and a carboxyl group, at least one non-ionic hydrophobic monomer with a polymerizable vinyl group, and at least one alkoxylated associative macromonomer with a polymerizable vinyl group and a hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain.
