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 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.
Abstract:
The present invention provides shelf-stable, non-cementitious dry mix compositions of inorganic non-cementious materials, such as sand, and water redispersible polymer powder (RDP) containing particles of a multi-stage acrylic copolymer having a calcium methacrylate salt group containing alkali-soluble resin outer stage and one or more inner stage, the particles further containing each of one or more nucleating agent having a boiling point of 150° C. to 500° C. and a water solubility of 3.5% or less, and one or more colloidal stabilizer, wherein the colloidal stabilizer and the multi-stage acrylic copolymer are contained in the same RDP particle.
Abstract:
The present invention provides water redispersible polymer powder (RDP) compositions that perform well even when redispersibility is fair comprising carboxyl group containing multi-stage acrylic copolymers having an alkali-soluble resin outer stage and one or more inner stage acrylic (co)polymer having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of from −40 to 50° C., one or more nucleating agent having a boiling point of 150° C. to 500° C., and a water solubility of 3.5% or less, preferably, an alkyl isobutyrate and a branched alkyl isobutyrate, and one or more colloidal stabilizer. Also provided are dry mix cement tile adhesive compositions comprising the water redispersible polymer powder an ordinary Portland cement, an alumina rich cement with an alumina content of from 30 wt. % to 85 wt. %, and calcium sulfate. The invention enables a broad range of the claimed acrylic polymers in useful RDPs.
