Disclosed herein are a more efficient method for manufacturing paints and a universal extender pigment grind that can be used for the paints in the same paint line as well as in different paint lines, while producing paints with similar properties as paints manufactured under traditional manufacturing techniques. The universal extender pigment grind comprises a minimum amount of diatomaceous earth.

Manufacturing method for multi paint finishes and a multi-finish extender grind

Disclosed herein is a method for adjusting factory-made tintable paints at the point of sale by adding at least one gloss modifier to the factory-made tintable paints without substantially changing the amount of opacifying pigments in the tintable paints, so that a single color prescription can be used to tint the paints to a single color for any gloss or sheen. Such same color paints should have a color difference of less than 2.0 CIEDE2000 units. Also disclosed is an aqueous gloss reducer that contains mostly a matting agent with substantially no latex resin and substantially no opacifying pigments.

Reduced point of sale bases for multi-finish paint line and methods for same

The present invention relates to paint extenders or open-time extenders, which are mixed with an architectural coating, such as aqueous latex paints, to increase the coating's open time. The open-time extender comprises acrylic or vinyl latex particles having a mean diameter of less than about 150 nm, and at least one crosslinkable monomer that can crosslink the latex particles in the open-time extender to the latex particles in the architectural coating at ambient conditions. The open-time extender also comprises water and the total solid content of the open-time extender is less than about 15% by weight.

Latex based open-time extenders for low VOC paints

The present invention relates to a coating composition and a method for making same. The coating composition according to the invention can advantageously have a low content of volatile organic compounds and can be used in paint and architectural coatings applications for coating on an appropriate substrate. Methods of formulating the coating compositions according to the invention and methods for forming substrate-bound coatings with improved properties are also described herein.

Low-VOC compositions containing a polymeric latex, coatings made therefrom, substrates containing same, and methods for making same

Novel perfluoroalkyl-substituted mono-, di- and poly-amide compounds which are reaction products of a mono-, di- or polyamine of 60 to 2000 molecular weight with a perfluoroalkyl substituted unsaturated acid or its corresponding lower alkyl ester and optionally a non-fluorinated amino-reactive compound such as an acid, ester, anhydride, epichlorohydrin, isocyanate or urea, are useful as internally or externally applied paper sizes to impart oil and grease resistance to paper, and as oil proofing coatings on textiles, wood, masonry and the like, or as high-performance surface active agents.
