Abstract:
The present invention provides nonionic surfactants, compositions incorporating these surfactants, and related methods of making and using such surfactants and compositions. The nonionic surfactants demonstrate excellent equilibrium and dynamic surface tension properties as well as excellent wetting properties. Further, representative embodiments of the surfactants have shown low foaming characteristics, indicating that the surfactants would be suitable in applications where resistance to foaming is desired. The surfactants can be used singly or in combination with other nonionic and/or ionic surfactants as desired. As an over view, the nonionic surfactants of the present invention have a structure in which the surfactant backbone includes one or more amine moieties. At least one, preferably two or more branched, cyclic, fused cyclic, and/or spyro hydrophobic moieties are pendant from at least one of the amine moieties. Additionally, at least one, preferably two or more hydrophilic moieties, preferably alkylene oxide (i.e., polyether) chains also are pendant from at least one of the amine moieties.
Abstract:
A surfactant composition selected from the group consisting of: ArO—(CH2CH[CH2CH3]O)1-10(CH2CH2O)5-50H, isomers, aromatic ring substituted analogs, and mixtures thereof; and an aqueous coating composition including an aqueous polymeric dispersion, and certain other compositions, including the surfactant composition are provided. Also provided are a method for forming a coating and a method for improving the freeze/thaw stability of an aqueous composition including an aqueous polymeric dispersion.
Abstract:
