Abstract:
A paint composition with reduced seed formation includes a solvent, a polymeric binder, and a plurality of zeolite particles. Characteristically, each zeolite particle defines a plurality of pores therein with an average pore size from about 1 to 100 angstroms and having cations disposed within the pores. Advantageously, the paint composition exhibits reduced seed formation by sequestering cations in the paint composition that tend to cause seed formation.
Abstract:
A scuff and mar-resistant paint composition includes a base paint formulation and a slip additive dispersed in the base paint formulation. Characteristically, the slip additive has a surface energy less than about 30 mJ/m2. Advantageously, the slip additive being in a sufficient amount such that slip resistance of a coating formed from the scuff and mar-resistant paint composition is decreased compared to a coating formed from the base paint formulation. A method of upgrading a manufactured base paint formulation is also provided.
