Title: Alistair J Ross: Innovator in Thermosetting Coatings
Introduction
Alistair J Ross is a notable inventor based in Strongsville, OH (US). He holds 2 patents that contribute significantly to the field of thermosetting coatings. His work focuses on innovative solutions that enhance the performance and durability of coating materials.
Latest Patents
Ross's latest patents include "Blocked isocyanate crosslinkers based on pentaerythritol for use in thermosetting coatings." This invention addresses the need for effective crosslinkers that improve the properties of thermosetting protective coatings. The invention involves a coreactive binder polymer that includes a hydroxyl functional matrix polymer, which coreacts with a blocked isocyanate derived from pentaerythritol. The formulation ensures that pentaerythritol constitutes between 20% and 100% by weight of the polyol reactants, while the blocked crosslinker makes up 10% to 50% by weight of the thermosetting binder components. The preferred application for this technology is in powder coatings. Another significant patent is for an "improved thermosetting coil coating composition," which features a binder of a thermosetting polyester polymer that is particularly resistant to crystallization and designed to be crosslinked with an aminoplast resin. This polyester is a condensation copolymer of 2-methyl-1,3-propane diol, neopentyl glycol, isophthalic acid, and terephthalic acid.
