Abstract:
Paint, clear coat, stain, adhesive, or other aqueous formulations that contain at least one [(dimethylamino)alkyl]-imino-dialcohol and a alkyd emulsion, polymer latex or polyurethane dispersion binder. Also disclosed are methods for manufacture and use of these formulations. The [(dimethylamino)alkyl]-imino-dialcohols provide aqueous formulations having low odor and reduced volatile organic compounds (VOC). The [(dimethylamino)alkyl]-imino-dialcohols also aid in dispersing pigment and other solids so less co-dispersant is needed for aqueous paint or coating formulations.
Abstract:
An anti-settling additive, compositions containing anti-settling additives and methods for use, the additive containing a monomer or polymer compound that contains at least one polymerizable functional group per molecule, and at least one bicycloheptyl-, bicycloheptenyl-, or branched (C5-C42)alkyl- polyether radical per molecule, wherein the bicycloheptyl- or bicycloheptenyl- polyether radical may optionally be substituted on one or more of the ring carbon atoms by one or two (C1-C6)alkyl groups per ring carbon atom is useful in making polymers.
Abstract:
A coalescent composition for coating compositions such as paints, adhesives, and coatings comprising a blend of dibasic esters, specifically (i) esters of adipic, glutaric, and/or succinic diacids and/or (ii) esters of isomers of adipic acid have advantages, including efficiency and low VOC.
Abstract:
Disclosed are novel tri-substituted aromatic-alkoxylated surface active compounds. Also provided is a method of preparing an aqueous coating composition such as a latex paint including the above components.
Abstract:
Processes to prepare aqueous polymer dispersions are provided, as well as compositions thereof, which have high solids content ( e.g ., 50%) with low viscosity. The process uses a selective hydrophilic macro-RAFT agent of formula (I), and is substantially free of surfactants. This process can be used to make latex polymers with good stability, which can be used widely in coatings ( e.g ., architectural paints, stone paints, industrial coatings, wood coatings, etc .), adhesives, sealants and mastic compositions.
Abstract:
A coalescent composition for coating compositions such as paints, adhesives, and coatings comprising a blend of diesters, the blend comprising adducts of alcohol and diacids, the alcohol selected from the group consisting of ethyl, propyl, isopropyl alcohol and mixtures thereof, and the diacids selected from the group consisting of a blend of adipic, glutaric and succinic diacids ('AGS') and a blend of adipic, methylglutaric, and ethylsuccinic diacids ('MGA'), and paint, adhesive, and coating compositions comprising such coalescent compositions are disclosed.
Abstract:
Disclosed are novel substituted catechol polymeric dispersants and related method of preparing. Also disclosed are methods of dispersing at least one pigment comprising the following steps: contacting an aqueous solution containing at least one pigment with the polymeric dispersant copolymers as described herein.
Abstract:
Coatings and other applications containing latex having self-thickening properties obtainable by methods of adding a water soluble amphiphilic copolymer in a aqueous dispersion of a water-insoluble polymer obtained from ethylenically unsaturated monomers.
Abstract:
Disclosed are novel dispersants for universal colorant systems, novel colorant systems and related method of preparing said systems. Also disclosed are methods of dispersing at least one pigment to prepare a universal colorant system, as well as methods for preparing coatings and paints utilizing the disclosed colorant systems.
