Abstract:
An anionically-stabilized aqueous emulsion composition includes a) a first emulsion polymer having a Tg from -60°C to 40°C; b) a volatile base; and c) polymeric particles, different from the first emulsion polymer and present in emulsified form. The c) polymeric particles are polyamine graft copolymers, in which vinyl monomers form a polymer grafted to a water-soluble amino- group containing polymer. The anionically-stabilized aqueous emulsion composition may have a pH of from 8 to 11.
Abstract:
An aqueous composition for coating cementitious or masonry substrates is provided. When dried, the coating composition has high gloss and low dirt pick-up. The composition includes at least one emulsified polymeric binder; at least one water-soluble silicate; at least one alkyl siliconate; at least one pigment, optionally at least one filler; optionally at least one paint additive; and water. The pigment volume concentration (PVC) of the aqueous composition is 40 weight % or less.
Abstract:
A one-part composition includes by wt% of total weight of the composition: a) 5 to 70 wt% of at least one emulsified polymeric binder, the binder comprising one or more of (meth)acrylamide or derivatives thereof as a polymerized monomer; b) 1 to 55 wt% of at least one silicate; c) 0.01 to 10 wt% of at least one alkyl siliconate; d) water, and e) optional additives. The binder a) includes (meth)acrylamide or derivative thereof as a polymerized monomer and is in the form of emulsified polymeric particles having a volume average particle size of 50 nm - 500 nm.
Abstract:
A method of coating a cementitious and/or masonry substrate includes applying an aqueous coating composition to the cementitious and/or masonry substrate. The aqueous coating composition includes at least one pigment, optionally at least one filler, at least one emulsified polymeric binder, at least one water-soluble silicate, and optionally at least one additive. The emulsified polymeric binder includes at least one of: a) (meth)acrylamide or derivative thereof as a polymerized monomer; or b) 1 weight % or more of at least one surfactant based on the total dry weight of the total monomer in the emulsified polymeric binder. The aqueous coating composition has a weight ratio of emulsified polymeric binder to the water-soluble silicate from 65:35 to 95:5 on a dry weight basis. The aqueous coating composition also has a pigment volume concentration (PVC) from 5% to 85.
Abstract:
Polymer latex binders useful for preparing coating compositions containing low levels of, or which are substantially free of, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as volatile freeze-thaw additives are prepared by multistage emulsion polymerization, wherein one stage provides a copolymer having a relatively high glass transition temperature and containing an oxyalkylene-containing (meth)acrylate comonomer.
Abstract:
Waterborne dispersions including crosslinkable multistage polymeric particles useful in coating compositions are provided. The multistage particles have a last-formed layer that includes a diketone functionality that is capable of crosslinking via a dihydrazide component also included in the dispersion. Another embodiment of the waterborne dispersion further includes crosslinkable latex particles having a diketone functionality that are capable of crosslinking with each other and/or the multistage particles via the dihydrazide component. An emulsion polymerization process for forming the multistage particles also is provided. Also provided are coating compositions that contain either embodiment of the waterborne dispersions.
Abstract:
Compounds comprising one or more functionalized fatty acid esters, which may be derived from bio-based oils, are used as a low-VOC coalescent agent (i.e., a coalescent agent having a low content of volatile organic compounds) in waterborne coating compositions. The functional group can be epoxide, vicinal diol, hydroxy phosphotriester, hydroxy ester, hydroxyl alkyl ester, hydroxyl benzyl ester, hydroxy ether, hydroxy amino, hydroxy sulfide, hydroxy nitrile, hydroxy amine, terminal alcohol, thiiran, ketone, or cyclic carbonate. The present disclosure also relates to waterborne coating compositions comprising these functionalized fatty acid esters.
