Abstract:
The present invention is a composition comprising a waterborne hydrophobically modified alkylene oxide urethane thickener comprising structural units of a) a polyalkylene glycol; b) a polyisocyanate; and c) a C14-C30-alkyl-O—(CH2CH2O)n—H alcohol ethoxylate capping agent. The composition of the present invention is useful as a thickener in formulations requiring high levels of surfactant, such as detergents.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition comprising an aqueous solution of a) a hydrophobically modified alkylene oxide polymer comprising a hydrophobic portion functionalized with a protonated secondary or tertiary amine or a quaternary ammonium salt and b) an acid and a salt thereof, which acid is phosphoric acid, nitrilotris(methylene)triphosphonic acid, hydrochloric acid, or sulfuric acid. The composition of the present invention is useful for the preparation of an associative thickener that can be stored for long periods, in the absence of ancillary biocides, without spoilage from biodeteriogenic attack.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition comprising a) an aqueous dispersion of polymer particles and b) a hydrophobically modified poly(oxyalkylene-urethane) rheology modifier having a 1) backbone; and 2) a hydrophobic portion represented by Fragment I: —O—R—SR1mH I where R and R1 are defined herein. The composition is useful as an aqueous coating formulation that exhibits a highly shear thinning rheology profile suitable for spray applications to provide high sag resistance without adverse impact on gloss or corrosion resistance.
Abstract:
The present invention provides low solvent or substantially solvent-free multi-ethylenically unsaturated acrylate composition imbibed particles of an acid functional group containing acrylic polymer for ultraviolet curing coating applications and methods of making the same wherein the acrylic polymer is formed by polymerizing in organic solvent, then neutralized and combined with a multi-ethylenically unsaturated acrylate composition prior to dispersing the mixture into water and, preferably, removing solvent.
