Latest Patents

Hill’s listed patent, “Polymer Latex Composition for Fibre Binding,” describes a composition containing two types of latex particles. The first particles make up 50 to 98 percent by weight of the total latex particles and have a volume-average particle size of 80 to 1,000 nanometres. They may bear acid functional groups and their salts, amides, or anhydrides, silane functional groups, or combinations of these groups.

The second particles make up 2 to 50 percent by weight and have a volume-average particle size of 5 to 70 nanometres. These particles bear epoxy functional groups. The patent also addresses using the composition for fibre binding, producing a fibre structure containing its dried residue, and increasing the strength of a fibre structure.
