The present invention is a composition of (a) a coating base selected from a water-dispersed coating, an epoxy polymer coating, an alkyd coating, a Type I urethane coating, or an unsaturated polyester coating; and (b) a fluorinated ester compound having a plurality of fluoroalkyl thioether groups, wherein the number average molecular weight of the fluorinated ester compound is &#x2264;30,000 Da; and where the fluorinated group Ris independently a straight or branched perfluoroalkyl group of 2 to 20 carbon atoms, which is optionally interrupted by one or more CH, CFH, ether oxygens &#x2014;O&#x2014;, or combinations thereof. The fluorinated ester compounds provide cleanability to the resulting coating made from the present composition.

Fluorinated ester compound additives for architectural coatings

This invention provides methods and technology related to increased hiding power of a coating through mediating the interaction of the pigment with other system components including but not limited to other pigment particles, latex paint particles, latex binding particles, and organic or inorganic hollow particles. Organization and spacing are tailored via pH sensitive functionalities hosted on ligands or polymeric spacers that are located at/within the surface of one of the components.
