Abstract:
An aqueous polyurethane dispersion compositions are disclosed. The compositions include a polyurethane prepolymer dispersed in an aqueous medium, the polyurethane prepolymer comprising an isocyanate and a crystalline polyester polyol having a hydroxyl content of 20 to 150 mg KOH/g and a melt temperature of less than or equal to 90° C. Methods of forming a laminate are also disclosed. The methods include providing an aqueous polyurethane dispersion, applying the polyurethane dispersion to a surface of the first substrate, bringing the side of the first substrate into contract with a surface of the second substrate, and curing the aqueous dispersion, thereby laminating the first substrate to the second substrate. Laminates formed by the methods and including the compositions are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A multilayer encapsulant film having at least two layers includes a first layer comprising an encapsulant resin, and a second layer comprising an encapsulant resin and at least one down-converter, such as a rare-earth organometallic complex. The down-converter may be present in an amount of at least 0.0001 wt % based on the total weight of the encapsulant film. Further layers of a multilayer encapsulant film may or may not include a down-converter. Preferably, a multilayer encapsulant film contains at least one layer with at least one down-converter and at least one layer without a down-converter. Such multilayer down-converting films may be used in an electronic device, such as a PV module.
Abstract:
Curable coating compositions for preventing biofouling include a) at least one epoxy resin; b) at least one amine-functional poly(dialkylsiloxane) polymer in an amount from 1 to 70% based on the combined weights of components a) and b); and c) at least one alkylene polyamine, polyalkylene polyamine or polymercaptan epoxy curing agent; wherein components b) and c) together provide about 0.75 to 1.5 equivalents of amine nitrogen atoms and/or thiol groups per equivalent of epoxy groups provided by component a). When cured to form an antifouling coating, the coating exhibits a water contact angle of at least 100° as measured using an optical contact angle meter at 22° C. The coating composition adheres well to many substrates, provides good anticorrosion protection and is an effective anti-biofouling measure.
Abstract:
A suspension process for preparing an acetoacetyl functional polymer and the acetoacetyl functional polymer made from the process suitable for aldehyde abatement.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a benzophenone derivative and an aqueous copolymer dispersion comprising the benzophenone derivative. This invention also relates to an aqueous coating composition comprising the aqueous copolymer dispersion. The benzophenone derivative provides better crosslinking efficiency and improvement to dirt pick up resistance performance.
