Abstract:
The present invention provides compositions for use as elastomeric roof coatings having excellent infrared (IR) reflectivity which comprise (i) one or more elastomeric copolymer having a measured glass transition temperature (measured Tg) of from −100 to 0° C. and one or more mesoporous filler, preferably a mesoporous filler that is substantially free of organic groups or residues, the mesoporous filler chosen from mesoporous silica, mesoporous aluminosilicates and mesoporous alumina, wherein the composition has a pigment volume concentration (% PVC) of from 0.1 to 15%. Such compositions provide aqueous or solvent borne clearcoats that can go over existing, already painted or colorcoated roof or wall substrates to preserve their finish or appearance.

Abstract:
The present invention provides elastomeric roof coatings and aqueous coating compositions of (i) an acrylic emulsion copolymer that comprises (ii) a reductant and has a high molecular weight, (iii) a combination of a hydrophilic polymeric dispersant and a pigment, extender or filler, and (iv) a multivalent transition metal ion or multivalent transition metal ion compound or salt. The composition and coating provide excellent swelling resistance and a balance of tensile and elongation in an acrylic roof coating composition.
Abstract:
The present invention provides aqueous coating compositions comprising one or more emulsion copolymer made from itaconic acid, a sulfonic acid or sulfonate ester monomer and an additional acid monomer which is a carboxylic acid and having a glass transition temperature of from −45° C. to −10° C., and one or more pigment, opacifier, filler, extender, or mixture of any of these at a % PVC of from 20 to 55, preferably 30 to 50, wherein coatings made from the coating compositions provide improved resistance to water swelling and dirt pickup resistance. The improvements are observed regardless of whether the compositions contain or are substantially free of zinc or divalent metal ions, or salts or compounds containing them. The present invention also provides roofing substrates coated with the aqueous compositions.
Abstract:
The present invention provides aqueous compositions for use as elastomeric roof coatings having excellent tint retention which comprise (i) one or more gradient emulsion copolymers having a weight average particle size of from 20 to 550 nm, (ii) a large particle size filler, preferably silica, (iii) one or more chromatic colorants other than a white colorant in the amount of from 0.2 to 15 wt. %, based on the total weight of solids in the composition, and (iv) other pigments, extenders or fillers, wherein the resulting composition has a particle volume concentration (% PVC) of from 20 to 65%. The present invention provides methods of making the one or more gradient emulsion copolymers.
