A method for formulating an aqueous dispersion of a polymer includes dissolving a polymer such as an acrylic polyol in a solvent to form a polymer solution. A surfactant is added to the polymer solution, and water is then added with mixing sufficient to dispersed the polymer in the water. The resulting aqueous dispersion can be mixed with a water dispersible polyisocyanate to produce coating materials which can be cured to form tough films and coatings.

Aqueous dispersions of polymers

An aqueous dispersion containing a polyamide and non-polyamide polymer is prepared by dissolving the polyamide in an organic solvent with a surfactant to form a polyamide solution. Water is then added to the polyamide solution to form an aqueous dispersion. The non-polyamide polymer can be added before or after the addition of water. The polyamide/non-polyamide dispersion can be used to produce an ink with better adhesion to plastic substrates and reduced blocking problems.

Aqueous polyamide dispersion composition

There is disclosed a self-dispersing curable epoxy resin composition comprising the addition product of reactants comprising (a) 1.0 reactive equivalent of an epoxy resin, (b) from about 0.40 to 0.95 reactive equivalents of a polyhydric phenol, and (c) from about 0.005 to 0.5 reactive equivalents of an amine-epoxy adduct comprising the addition product of reactants comprising 1.0 reactive equivalent of a polyepoxide and from about 0.3 to 0.9 reactive equivalents of a polyoxyalkyleneamine with the structural formula

Aqueous self-dispersible epoxy resin based on epoxy-amine adducts

A composition for thickening aqueous based personal care products is comprised of a cosolvent selected from the group consisting of a diol, the mono alkyl ether of a diol, a salt of a sulfated ethoxylated alcohol, a salt of a sulfated ethoxylated alkyl phenol, and a complex organic phosphate ester; water; a nonionic surfactant and, a complex ester.

A process is provided for preparing a dispersion of a polyamide in water, said process comprising:

Aqueous dispersions of polyamides

A process is provided for preparing a dispersion of a polyamide in water, said process comprising: dissolving a polyamide having an amine value of greater than about 2 in an organic solvent to form a solution of said polyamide in said solvent, said polyamide and said solvent being at a temperature below the softening point of, said polyamide during said dissolving, said solution further comprising a surfactant and an inorganic alkaline material, adding sufficient water containing an acid to said solution with mixing to form an oil-in-water dispersion, the temperature of said solution and said water being below the softening point of said polyamide during said adding, the amount of said acid being sufficient to neutralize a portion of said inorganic alkaline material, but insufficient to coagulate said polyamide from the resulting oil-in-water dispersion, and removing at least a major amount of said organic solvent from said oil-in-water dispersion. The resulting dispersion is useful in preparing a coating of the polyamide, which coating is useful as an adhesive.

Self-dispersing curable epoxy resin ester dispersions prepared by a process comprising reacting a self-dispersing curable epoxy resin based on a polyoxyalkyleneamine with a fatty acid selected from the group consisting of drying oil and semi-drying oil fatty acids, are provided. The self-dispersing curable epoxy resin is based on a polyoxyalkyleneamine. Thus, a polyoxyalkyleneamine was present as a chemical precursor of the epoxy resin or a starting material therefor. The self-dispersing curable epoxy resin ester of the invention is in the form of an aqueous dispersion. When dried, films of the self-dispersing curable epoxy resin ester dispersion are useful as a coating composition.
