Additive manufacturing compositions and methods may include a resin stabilized pigment. The pigment may be easily combined with at least one component of a co-reactive system, such as a co-reactive prepolymer formulation, via solid mixing without the need for grinding or additional solvents. The prepolymer formulation may be pigmented, printed, and cured under ambient conditions, and one or more pigments may be incorporated into the composition to change the color of the composition during printing and/or to selectively change the color of the printed article among several colors.

Additive manufacturing compositions and methods including resin stabilized pigments

Disclosed herein is a composition comprising: an epoxy-containing component, elastomeric particles in an amount of greater than 11% by weight to 25% by weight based on total weight of the composition; and a curing component activatable by an external energy source, the curing component comprising at least one guanidine having a D90 particle size of 25 μm measured by dynamic light scattering. Also disclosed is the composition in an at least partially cured state. Also disclosed is a method for treating a substrate comprising applying the composition to a surface of a substrate; and applying an external energy source to cure the composition. Also disclosed are substrates comprising the composition. Also disclosed are substrates formed by the method of the present invention.

Coating compositions

Disclosed herein is a composition comprising: an epoxy-containing component, elastomeric particles in an amount of greater than 11% by weight to 25% by weight based on total weight of the composition; and a curing component activatable by an external energy source, the curing component comprising at least one guanidine having a D90 particle size of 25 &#x3bc;m measured by dynamic light scattering. Also disclosed is the composition in an at least partially cured state. Also disclosed is a method for treating a substrate comprising applying the composition to a surface of a substrate; and applying an external energy source to cure the composition. Also disclosed are substrates comprising the composition. Also disclosed are substrates formed by the method of the present invention.

The present invention includes a process for producing treated filler that includes (a) treating a slurry that includes untreated filler, where the untreated filler has not been previously dried, with a treating composition that includes a treating agent, thereby forming a treated filler slurry, and (b) drying the treated filler slurry to produce treated filler. The treating agent can include a polymer having (i) at least one first group that interacts with the untreated filler and (ii) at least one second group that interacts with a rubber matrix into which the treated filler is incorporated. The present invention also is directed to treated filler prepared by the process, as well as rubber compounding compositions and tires including the treated filler.

Treated fillers, compositions containing same, and articles prepared therefrom

The present invention relates to reflective articles, such as solar mirrors, that include a sacrificial cathodic layer. The reflective article, more particularly includes a substrate, such as glass, having a multi-layered coating thereon that includes a lead-free sacrificial cathodic layer. The sacrificial cathodic layer includes at least one transition metal, such as a particulate transition metal, which can be in the form of flakes (e.g., zinc flakes). The sacrificial cathodic layer can include an inorganic matrix formed from one or more organo-titanates. Alternatively, the sacrificial cathodic layer can include an organic polymer matrix (e.g., a crosslinked organic polymer matrix formed from an organic polymer and an aminoplast crosslinking agent). The reflective article also includes an outer organic polymer coating, that can be electrodeposited over the sacrificial cathodic layer.

Reflective article having a sacrificial cathodic layer

The present invention includes a process for producing treated filler that includes (a) treating a slurry that includes untreated filler where the untreated filler has not been previously dried, with a treating composition that includes a treating agent, thereby forming a treated filler slurry, and (b) drying the treated filler slurry to produce treated filler. The treating agent can include a polymer having (i) at least one first group that interacts with the untreated filler and (ii) at least one second group that interacts with a rubber matrix into which the treated filler is incorporated. The present invention also is directed to treated filler prepared by the process, as well as rubber compounding compositions and tires including the treated filler.

Disclosed herein are dual cure coating compositions that include (a) a melamine-group containing polyethylenically unsaturated compound and (b) an acrylate-containing compound different from (a), wherein the acrylate-containing compound is present at a level sufficient to provide a cured coating layer having a glass transition temperature of 100&#xb0; C. or below and a crosslink density of 20.0 mmoles/cc or below. Also disclosed are related multi-component composite coatings, coated substrates, and methods for coating a substrate.

Dual cure coating compositions, methods of coating a substrate, and related coated substrates

Disclosed are coating compositions that can be one-component, ambient curable, and waterborne. The coating compositions comprise acrylic copolymer resin particles comprising carbonyl functional groups and a crosslinking agent comprising functional groups, such as hydrazide groups, that are reactive with carbonyl groups.
