Abstract:
A new coating composition comprising, by dry weight based on the total dry weight of the coating composition, i) from 12% to 80% of polymer particles comprising, as polymerized units, by dry weight based on the total dry weight of the polymer particles, from 3% to 70% of a vinyl acetate; from 2% to 65% of a styrene; and from 20% to 55% of (meth)acrylate monomers; ii) from 0.1% to 6% of a wax; and iii) from 14% to 55% of a pigment. A process for making the coating composition.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a dispersion of polymer particles comprising, as polymerized units, by dry weight based on total dry weight of the polymer particles, from 85% to 99.9% ethylenically unsaturated nonionic monomers, from 0.01% to 4% phosphorous-containing (meth)acrylate monomers, and at least one neutralizer. The final pH of the polymer dispersion is above 6, and from 50% to 100% by mole of the total neutralizers are alcohol amines. The present invention further provides a paint comprising said dispersion. The paint has both satisfactory paint viscosity stability and improved paint performances such as scrub resistance, stain resistance, corrosion resistance and durability.
Abstract:
Provided is a process for forming forming an antimicrobial polymer composition comprising: contacting together at least one initiator, at least one promoter, at least one reductant, and at least one monomer, under emulsion polymerization conditions to form a base polymer; and mixing with the base polymer an antimicrobial complex; wherein the at least one initiator is a peroxidic compound and the at least one reductant is an ascorbic compound.
Abstract:
A polyurethane/acrylic hybrid dispersion comprising a polyurethane dispersion, acrylic monomers and ethylenically unsaturated phosphorus containing monomers. The weight ratio of the solid content of the polyurethane dispersion to the acrylic monomers and the ethylenically unsaturated phosphorus containing monomers is from 3:7 to 7:3. A process of making the polyurethane/acrylic hybrid dispersion.
