Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method which is more conveniently used to produce non-solid products (e.g., polyester coatings) initially before employing pelletized solid polyester resins in consideration of: shortening the cycle time of polyester production; obtaining products in a syrup form; and containing a polymer and a nonreactive carrier.SOLUTION: An oligomer is converted into a polymer by polycondensation at high temperature under high pressure in a nonreactive carrier capable of forming an azeotrope with water, and medium and high molecular weight polyester polymers are produced in a syrup form from an ester oligomer. The oligomerization and polycondensation reactions are monitored using a non-viscometric measurement method.
Abstract:
Medium and high molecular weight polyester polymers are prepared in syrup form from an ester oligomer. The oligomer is converted to the polymer by polycondensation at atmospheric pressure and elevated temperature in a nonreactive carrier capable of forming an azeotrope with water. The ester oligomerization or polycondensation reactions desirably are monitored using a non-viscometric technique. The process has a rapid cycle time. The syrup contains the polymer and nonreactive carrier, and may more conveniently be used to make initially non-solid products such as polyester coatings than is the case when employing pelletized solid polyester resins.
Abstract:
A gel coat for a surface of a composite article contains a curable urethane acrylate resin preferably based on aliphatic polyester polyols and aliphatic polyisocyanates. The gel coat provides a surface that has high gloss and color retention after prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation. The gel coat composition contains resin and acrylic diluents, including optional difunctional and trifunctional diluents. The gel coat is optionally pigmented to produce an article that may be used without further surface treatment.
Abstract:
The synthesis of highly-branched, allyl ether-functionalized, unsaturated polyester resins is disclosed herein, along with the utility of these resins in formulating formaldehyde-free, isocyanate-free, and styrene-free, low temperature and fast curing solvent-borne coatings, including wood coatings, and their use as alternatives for conventional acid catalyzed urea- or melamine-crosslinked coating systems.
Abstract:
Soak-in and strike through on the exposed end grain portions of low density or porous wood substrates including alder, birch, pine, poplar, and soft maple are reduced by applying to the end grain a solvent-borne coating composition containing an (i) alkyd resin having a hydroxyl number less than about 150, (ii) acid catalyst and (iii) cross linker. The resin desirably has a number average molecular weight greater than about 2000, and may have a Gardner coloration less than about 3 or may be a short oil alkyd based on coconut oil. By using a reduced hydroxyl number alkyd resin, a reduced cross linker amount may be employed, thereby reducing formaldehyde evolution in compositions made with methylated amino resin cross linkers such as methylated melamine resins.

La resma base tiene una cantidad de hidroxilo mayor de aproximadamente 90 pero no mayor de aproximadamente 215, la resma final tiene una cantidad de hidroxilo mayor de aproximadamente 100 pero no mayor de aproximadamente 215, y el recubrimiento base y final cada uno se pueden endurecer en 30 segundos o menos para proporcionar un recubrimiento que tiene por lo menos una flexibilidad de 'OT sin desprendimiento y por lo menos una dureza de lápiz de 2H.
Abstract:
A primer/topcoat coil coating system employs crosslinkable branched hydroxyl-functional polyester-imide resins derived or derivable from a symmetric aromatic imide triol and a diacid or acid-producing derivative. The primer resin has a hydroxyl number greater than about 90 but not more than about 215, the topcoat resin has a hydroxyl number greater than about 100 but not more than about 215, and the primer and topcoat can each be hardened in 30 seconds or less to provide a coating having at least 0T flexibility with no tape off and at least 2H pencil hardness.
Abstract:
Fluid concentrates, colorants and coating compositions contain solid pigment particles dispersed in a nonvolatilizing, reactive liquid diluent having a viscosity less than 1,000 cps and containing at least one molecular species having at least three reactive unsaturated sites. The reactive liquid diluent may serve as one or more of a dispersing medium for the solid pigment particles, a carrier, a coalescent and a humectant, and may crosslink or otherwise cure to form an interpenetrating polymer network in, or crosslink with, a pigmented coating composition containing a film-forming polymeric binder. Embodiments of the reactive liquid diluent can provide colorants and coating compositions having reduced levels of VOCs, conventional carriers, conventional dispersants, conventional coalescents and conventional humectants.
Abstract:
Se describen polímeros de poliéster de peso molecular promedio y alto preparados en forma de suspensión de un oligómero de éster. El oligómero se convierte a polímero por policondensación a presión elevada y temperatura elevada en un portador no reactivo capaz de formar un azeótropo con agua. Las reacciones de oligomerización o policondensación de éster deseablemente se supervisan usando una técnica no viscosimétrica. El proceso tiene un tiempo de ciclo rápido. La suspensión contiene el polímero y el portador no reactivo, y puede utilizarse más convenientemente para hacer inicialmente productos no sólidos tal como recubrimientos de poliéster que es el caso cuando se usa en resinas de poliéster sólidas granuladas.
