This invention pertains to a curable composition comprising a first component having &#x3b2;-ketoester and/or malonate functionalities and a second component having two or more aldehyde functionalities. The compositions can be cured at room temperature or low temperatures to yield crosslinked networks that are capable of providing desirable properties for coating and adhesive applications. The reactive functionalities of &#x3b2;-ketoester, malonate, and aldehyde can be either on polymers as the main binders or on small molecules as the crosslinkers. The curable compositions desirably are either solventless or organic solvent based.

Low-temperature curable compositions

This invention relates to a curable composition comprising:

Curable compositions comprising acetoacetylated resins, aldehydes and certain amines

This invention relates to an article of manufacture comprising at least one flexible substrate coated with at least one curable composition comprising:

Flexible substrates comprising curable compositions containing acetoacetylated resins

The invention provides branched trialkylamine oxides with improved properties. The trialkylamine oxides of the invention produced from branched trialkylamines, in one embodiment, can be made using certain branched C10-12 enals and aldehydes. The invention also provides an trialkylamine oxide having the formula: wherein R5, R6 and R7 are independently at least one of C3H7, C2H5, CH3, or H, or mixtures thereof; and wherein R5 and R6 are not H at the same time. In one embodiment, the trialkylamine oxides of the invention can be useful in making various products, for example, as surfactants.

Branched trialkyl amine oxides

The surfactants which can be produced from the trialkylamine intermediates include the quaternary ammonium compounds of formula: 

Branched trialkyl quaternary ammonium compounds

This invention pertains to a curable composition comprising a first component having beta-ketoacetate and/or malonate functionalities and a second component having two or more aldehyde functionalities. The compositions can be cured at room temperature or low temperatures to yield crosslinked networks that are capable of providing desirable properties for coating and adhesive applications. The reactive functionalities of beta-ketoacetate, malonate, and aldehyde can be either on polymers as the main binders or on small molecules as the crosslinkers. The curable compositions desirably are either solventless or organic solvent based.
