The hydrophilic coating composition has (A) a ternary copolymer having a1) a repeating unit having a hydrophilic group, a2) a repeating unit having a hydroxyl group, an epoxy group, an isocyanato group, a blocked isocyanato group, a carboxylic acid anhydride group, or an amino group, and a3) a repeating unit having a hydrolyzable silyl group; and (B) a metal complex catalyst, wherein a content of the repeating unit a1) having a hydrophilic group is 50 mol % or greater.
Abstract:
A novel composition for use as a print head face plate coating. In particular, the coating comprises siloxyfluorocarbon (SFC), which is composed of networked precursors containing reactive siloxane groups attached to fluorocarbon chains. The present SFC coatings can be used to produce a surface whereby solid ink and ultraviolet (UV) curable inks do not adhere when applied at elevated temperatures and over an extended period of time. The advantages of the present coating are fewer print head related defects, and longer front face life.

Abstract:
The present invention has its object to provide a curable composition which comprises a reactive silyl group-containing organic polymer, does not contain, as a silanol condensation catalyst, any organotin type curing catalyst currently of concern because of the toxic feature thereof, is excellent in surface curability and depth curability and, further, can provide cured products excellent in adhesiveness; the above object can be achieved by a curable composition which comprises: an organic polymer (A) containing a silicon-containing group capable of crosslinking under siloxane bond formation; and a guanidine compound (B-1), as a silanol condensation catalyst (B), represented by the general formula (1): R1N═C(NR12)2 (1) (wherein one of the five R1s is an aryl group and the other four R1s each independently is a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group in which the carbon atom at position 1 is saturated).
Abstract:
The present invention has its object to provide a curable composition which comprises a guanidine compound as a non-organotin type catalyst, is less discolored, has good surface curability, depth curability, strength rise and adhesiveness, and can retain the curability even after storage; the above object can be achieved by a curable composition which comprises: (A) an organic polymer containing a silyl group capable of crosslinking under siloxane bond formation, the silyl group being a group represented by the general formula (1): —SiX3 (1) (wherein X represents a hydroxyl group or a hydrolyzable group and the three X groups may be mutually the same or different), (B) a guanidine compound (B-1) as a silanol condensation catalyst, and (C) a plasticizer, wherein the content of the component (B-1) is not lower than 0.1 part by weight but lower than 8 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the component (A), and a non-phthalate ester plasticizer accounts for 80 to 100% by weight of the (C) component plasticizer.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the discovery that pre-treating mineral oxide particles with a silylated polymeric coupling agent prior to suspending the particles in a binder polymer increases the crack resistance and adhesion of particles to a inkjet printing substrate such as paper sheets. Such pretreatment also reduces the amount of binder needed to achieve acceptable performance, leading to improvements in production speed and image quality.

Abstract:
A method and a coating on a tampon applicator. The coating includes a crosslinked hydrogel that includes a copolymer including water soluble base polymers having graft polymerized thereto organic moieties that react with water to form a silanol group. The copolymer is crosslinked through the silanol groups of the organic moieties to form a coating that is absorbent, lubricious and substantially non-water soluble.
