| 20090005508 | EPOXIDIZED ESTERS OF VEGETABLE OIL FATTY ACIDS AS REACTIVE DILUENTS - The present invention is directed to compositions containing epoxidized esters of vegetable oil fatty acids, and to methods of making such compositions. The esters are C | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090018300 | MONOMERS AND POLYMERS FROM BIODERIVED CARBON - The present disclosure provides compositions including biobased monomers derived from biological sources for the synthesis of polymers from bioderived carbon. The monomers and resulting polymers are comparable to petroleum derived monomers and polymers, but have a carbon isotope ratio characteristic of bioderived materials. Methods for synthesizing polymers having 100% biobased materials are also disclosed. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090118397 | Waterborne Film-Forming Compositions Containing Reactive Surfactants and/or Humectants - The present invention is directed to aqueous coating compositions, such as paints, containing a film-forming latex polymer and a reactive surfactant. The reactive surfactant, a polyglycerol ester or ether of an unsaturated fatty acid, reduces or eliminates the need for traditional water-soluble additives that lower the water resistance of the dry coating. Additionally, the reactive surfactants of the invention are capable of oxidative cross-linking during the curing process, forming a dry film that is more durable and water-resistant than traditional latex paint composition. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20100104884 | Waterborne Film-Forming Compositions Containing Reactive Surfactants and/or Humectants - The present invention is directed to aqueous coating compositions, such as paints, containing a film-forming latex polymer and a reactive surfactant and/or a low VOC humectant. The reactive surfactant, a polyglycerol ester or ether of an unsaturated fatty acid, reduces or eliminates the need for traditional water-soluble additives that lower the water resistance of the dry coating. Additionally, the reactive surfactants of the invention are capable of oxidative cross-linking during the curing process, forming a dry film that is more durable and water-resistant than traditional latex paint composition. The low VOC humectant polyglycerol, isosorbide, or a derivative of isosorbide can replace at least in part traditional humectants such as propylene glycol which contribute to VOCs, while maintaining an effective open time for application of the aqueous coating compositions. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100216915 | Levulinic acid ester derivatives as reactive plasticizers and coalescent solvents - The present invention is directed to ester derivatives of levulinic acid that are useful as plasticizers and/or coalescent solvents in polymer compositions, compositions comprising the ester derivatives, methods of making the derivatives and the compositions, and the use of the derivatives as additives in polymer compositions. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20110003727 | HYDROGENATED AND PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED HEAT-BODIED OILS AND USES THEREOF - The present disclosure presents materials comprising hydrogenated and/or partially hydrogenated polymerized vegetable oils. Non-limiting applications of the polymerized oils, including coatings, binders, blends, and greases are presented. Methods for forming these materials are also disclosed. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20110166287 | WATERBORNE FILM-FORMING COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING REACTIVE SURFACTANTS AND/OR HUMECTANTS - The present invention is directed to aqueous coating compositions, such as paints, containing a film-forming latex polymer and a reactive surfactant and/or a low VOC humectant. The reactive surfactant, a polyglycerol ester or ether of an unsaturated fatty acid, reduces or eliminates the need for traditional water-soluble additives that lower the water resistance of the dry coating. Additionally, the reactive surfactants of the invention are capable of oxidative cross-linking during the curing process, forming a dry film that is more durable and water-resistant than traditional latex paint composition. The low VOC humectant polyglycerol, isosorbide, or a derivative of isosorbide can replace at least in part traditional humectants such as propylene glycol which contribute to VOCs, while maintaining an effective open time for application of the aqueous coating compositions. | 07-07-2011 |
