Water-borne cross-linking polymeric compositions and related embodiments, such as methods of making and using the compositions, as well as products formed with said compositions are described. For example, the water-borne composition may comprise polymers incorporating cross-linking functionality such as, but not limited to, carbonyl or epoxy functionality, and a blocked cross-linking agent, for example, a hydrazone. The cross-linking functionality does not react with the blocked cross-linking agent; however, the blocked cross-linking agent is capable of reacting with the alternative form cross-linking agent such as, but not limited to, a hydrazide, to yield a cross-linked polymer. The alternative form cross-linking agent may be formed in an equilibrium reaction including the blocked cross-linking agent.

Aqueous cross-linking compositions and methods

The present invention is directed to a coating composition comprising a vinyl acrylic copolymer latex wherein said copolymer latex has a water contact angle of about 60&#xb0; or higher on the dried latex film surface, wherein said copolymer latex further has a specific water vapor permeability of about 0.5 mg/cm/mm/24 hr. The invention is also directed to the copolymer latex itself. Further, the invention is a method of improving a coating's ability to withstand a high humidity environment comprising adding a vinyl acrylic copolymer latex to the coating composition wherein said copolymer latex has a water contact angle of about 60&#xb0; or higher on the dried latex film surface, and wherein said copolymer latex further has a specific water vapor permeability of about 0.5 mg/cm/mm/24 hr.

Coatings for use in high humidity conditions

The magnetic flux generated by stator electrical winding can flow inside motor stator structure, so it is unnecessary to put the stator electrical winding and the rotor in the same medium. The stator and rotor can be separated by repositioning the dome of a hermetic (or semi hermetic) refrigeration (or air condition) system inside the motor. The rotor and compressor are sealed inside the dome and the stator electrical winding is outside of the dome or shell. The compressor powered by this induction motor design can be much safer and more reliable to operate even in more critical environment (like pumping and compressing poison, dangerous gas). It will also be easier to fix a motor with a detachable stator design.

A compact developer concentrate composition for color photographic development that has a reduced number of parts is described. The compact developer concentrate composition includes a concentrate and a coated solid. The coating of the solid remains insoluble in the concentrate, but is easily dissolved upon mixing with water to prepare a replenisher and/or working strength developer. The compact developer concentrate composition is stable, compact, easy to use, has good water solubility upon dilution with water, minimizes mixing errors, and remains free of degradation during long-term storage. A method of processing image-wise exposed photographic color silver halide emulsions using the developer concentrate composition is also provided.
