Latest Patents
Among his latest patents, one is titled "Two stage cure two component coating composition containing hydroxylbutyl acrylate polymers." This invention describes a two-stage cure coating composition that includes a binder and a crosslinking component. The binder consists of an acrylic polymer with a weight average molecular weight ranging from 3,000 to 50,000, containing hydroxyl moieties between 7.0 to 40.0 weight percent. Notably, at least 40.0 weight percent of these hydroxyl moieties are derived from hydroxy butyl acrylate. The crosslinking component is an organic polyisocyanate, and the first stage curing process results in a water spot-free finish within 90 minutes of application. The composition also boasts a pot life characterized by less than a 2-second rise in Zahn cup viscosity over 150 minutes. Additionally, the invention outlines a method for producing a finish on a substrate using this coating composition.
Another significant patent is "Stable aqueous metallic flake dispersion using phosphated acrylic." This patent details a graft copolymer dispersant with a weight average molecular weight of approximately 5,000-100,000. The graft copolymer features a polymeric backbone formed by polymerizing ethylenically unsaturated monomers. It also includes macromonomer side chains attached to the backbone at a single terminal point, with weight average molecular weights ranging from 1,000 to 30,000. These side chains are formed by polymerizing ethylenically unsaturated monomers in the presence of a cobalt chain transfer agent. The graft copolymer contains about 2 to 70% by weight of polymerized constituents with phosphate or phosphoric acid moieties integrated into the backbone, side chains, or both. The copolymer is neutralized with an inorganic base or an amine.
