Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of an aqueous vinyl polymer dispersion PD comprising a hydrophilic vinyl oligomer, a hydrophobic vinyl oligomer and a vinyl polymer obtained by the emulsion polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers from petrochemical or renewable origin. The present invention also relates to a process for making the aqueous vinyl polymer dispersion; to a coating composition comprising said aqueous vinyl polymer dispersion and the method making thereof; to a paint formulation comprising said aqueous vinyl polymer dispersion; and to an article coated with the coating composition or the paint formulation. The coating compositions are especially suitable for decorative and industrial wood applications.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the field of cross-linkable aqueous vinyl polymer dispersions, to a coating composition comprising said cross-linkable aqueous vinyl polymer dispersions; to a paint formulation comprising said cross-linkable aqueous vinyl polymer dispersions; and to an article coated with the coating composition or the paint formulation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a stain blocking water borne coating composition, preferably for clear coats, comprising an organic binder and as stain blocking agent at least one type of inorganic nano-particles having a layered structure and a crystal structure with positively charged layers.
