Abstract:
The present invention concerns new associative thickening agents belonging to the category of HEURs (Hydrophobically modified Ethylene oxide URethane). These products contain an original associative monomer with a base of alkyl cyclohexanol alkoxylates. Their thickening power is equal to or greater than that procured by HEUR associative thickening agents of the prior art containing grafted alkyl phenols. An efficient substitute product is therefore available, which is free of alkyl phenols, matching current market demand.
Abstract:
A method of manufacture of an aqueous suspension of talc, using a copolymer of (meth)acrylic acid with an oxyalkylated monomer with a surfactant group, an aqueous suspension of talc which may be obtained by such a method, and the use of these suspensions in various applications.
Abstract:
Process for thickening a composition, through the use of a direct emulsion in water, which is alkali-swellable, of a polymer of the ASE or HASE type, which is both rich in acrylic acid and which has a certain quantity of AMPS. The use of such emulsions simultaneously allows there to be no obligation to use surfactants and organic solvents other than water, and allows the thickening phenomenon to be activated for pHs of less than 7: this latter characteristic is particularly advantageous for formulations intended to be used in contact with skin.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns the use of new additives in a paint formulation containing particles of titanium dioxide (TiO2) as an agent for improving the opacity of the film that is dry or in the process of drying as well as paint formulations including such agents.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a paper coating slip composition comprising a copolymer of thickening acrylic acid, a mineral material in the form of particles, a binding agent, and water. The invention also relates to the use of said composition for the production of paper or cardboard, improving the water retention of the paper coating slip.
Abstract:
(EN) The invention relates to the field involved in the production of aqueous compositions comprising rheology modifying agents, in particular the production of aqueous detergent or cosmetic compositions having improved, thickening and clarity properties, as well as good suspension properties. In particular, the invention relates to a rheology modifying agent which is a copolymer obtained by means of polymerisation of at least one crosslinking monomer with at least one anionic monomer comprising at least one polymerisable ethylenic unsaturation and at least one hydrophobic non-ionic monomer comprising at least one polymerisable ethylenic unsaturation.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the preparation of a water-soluble anionic polymer, the weight-average molecular mass MW of which ranges from 1,000 to 10,000 g/mol and the polydispersity index Ip of which is less than 3.5. The polymer according to the invention is obtained by a polymerization reaction in water of an unsaturated anionic monomer, in the presence of CuI or of CuII and of an aromatic compound comprising a functional group chosen from hydroxyl, primary amine, secondary amine and tertiary amine directly bonded to the aromatic ring. The invention also relates to an aqueous composition comprising the polymer according to the invention.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a rheology-modifying urethane compound. The compound comprising urethane functions of the invention can be prepared according to a method in several steps which use different compounds comprising isocyanate functions. For the preparation of the urethane compound according to the invention, a monoisocyanate compound, in particular a monoisocyanate compound resulting from the separate condensation of an asymmetric diisocyanate compound with a reactive compound, is reacted with an alkylene glycol compound in the presence of a polyisocyanate compound. The invention also provides coating compositions comprising mineral particles and a urethane compound according to the invention.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a continuous process for preparing a comb polymer, without organic solvent, by esterification and/or amidification of an acidic homopolymer or copolymer, which consists in performing the esterification and/or amidification of said homopolymer/copolymer by reaction at elevated temperature in the mixing and transportation zone of a tubular reactor, optionally equipped with a water removal system, in the presence of at least one poly(alkylene glycol) in solid or molten form and of an antioxidant, said esterification and/or amidification taking place at a temperature greater than or equal to 170° C.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel method for preparing a (meth)acrylic acid polymer in an aqueous solution, said polymer having a molecular mass lower than 8000 g/mol, for example using copper carbonate and iron sulphate (or the derivatives thereof).
