Water-based compositions containing a low VOC coalescent, a latex or water-dispersible polymer, and a water-insoluble UV-VIS (preferably, ultraviolet) absorber.

Water-based compositions that resist dirt pick-up

Methods, kits, and treatment compositions for treating agricultural products to reduce or preventing wildfire smoke taint or other types of taint, including treated agricultural products, are provided. One or more treatment compositions effective in reducing or preventing wildfire smoke taint are preferably applied to agricultural products such as, for example, wine grapes prior to and/or during wildfire smoke exposure.

Treatments, methods, and kits to protect agricultural products from wildfire smoke

Reactive liquids diluent and reactive dispersing agents for fluid concentrates, colorants and coating compositions, wherein the reactive liquid diluent and reactive dispersing agents have a viscosity less than 1,000 cps and contain at least one molecular species having at least three reactive unsaturated sites. The reactive liquid diluent or dispersing agent may be included a coating composition to form an interpenetrating polymer network in, or crosslink with, a pigmented coating composition containing a film-forming polymeric binder.

Pigment dispersion

Shelf-life extender compositions, kits, and methods are provided for use with live plant items such as, for example, rootless plant cuttings and plant liners. The shelf-life extender composition is preferably applied on at least a portion of the surfaces of a live plant item prior to shipping the treated live plant item.

Shelf-life extender compositions for live plant items and methods, kits, and coated live plant items related thereof

Water-based coating compositions or paint having improved gloss retention, including a latex or water-dispersible polymer, a UV-VIS absorber comprising a substituted benzophenone capable of being a free radical generator, a hindered amine light stabilizer, and optionally a low-VOC coalescent provided in a preferably desired amount. A composition comprising a blend a UV-VIS absorber comprising a substituted benzophenone capable of being a free radical generator, a hindered amine light stabilizer, and a low-VOC coalescent, providing a thermally-stable coalescent that can be used in a paint formulation for gloss retention. Gloss retention of paints containing the UV-VIS absorber and hindered amine light stabilizer being markedly improved over paints that do not have both components present.

Water-based compositions with long term gloss retention

Fluid concentrates, colorants and coating compositions contain solid pigment particles dispersed in a nonvolatilizing, reactive liquid diluent having a viscosity less than 1,000 cps and containing at least one molecular species having at least three reactive unsaturated sites. The reactive liquid diluent may serve as one or more of a dispersing medium for the solid pigment particles, a carrier, a coalescent and a humectant, and may crosslink or otherwise cure to form an interpenetrating polymer network in, or crosslink with, a pigmented coating composition containing a film-forming polymeric binder. Embodiments of the reactive liquid diluent can provide colorants and coating compositions having reduced levels of VOCs, conventional carriers, conventional dispersants, conventional coalescents and conventional humectants.

Methods and systems for selectively applying a treatment to a plant item is provided. The method may include conveying, in an industrial processing line, at least one plant item in the batch of plant items to a sensing region having one or more sensors, assessing, with the one or more sensors and a computing device, one or more properties of the at least one plant item associated with ripeness and/or another attribute, conveying the at least one plant item to a treatment region, determining a treatment to apply to the at least one plant item based on the assessed one or more properties; and applying, in the treatment region, the treatment to the at least one plant item.

Selectively treating plant items

The disclosure provides a functionalized polymer for use in coating compositions and a method for making the functionalized polymer. In some embodiments, the functionalized polymer is a water-dispersible polymer, more preferably a water-dispersible polyester polymer, having one or more side groups including one or more salt groups. Packaging containers (e.g., food or beverage cans) comprising the functionalized polymer and methods of making such containers are also provided.

Methods and materials for the functionalization of polymers and coatings including functionalized polymer

Water-based compositions containing a low VOC coalescent, a latex or water-dispersible polymer are described.

Water-based coating compositions that resist dirt pickup

The present invention is directed to a coating composition or paint comprising a polymer system including one or more latex polymers, wherein the acid content and molecular weight of the latex polymers are balanced to provide a coating composition that demonstrates optimal performance characteristics of washability or stain resistance, especially when used in a flat finish paint.

Latex polymer for improved paint washability

A polymer is provided that preferably includes at least one unsaturated cycloaliphatic group. In one embodiment, the polymer is combined with an optional crosslinker and an optional carrier to form a coating composition suitable for use in coating articles such as packaging articles. In one embodiment, the polymer has at least one unsaturated cycloaliphatic group that is at least bicyclic.
