  • Publication number: 20030144399
    Abstract: A water soluble copolymer useful as an inorganic pigment dispersant is comprised of a polymerized (1) monomer which is an ethylenically unsaturated organic phosphate or phosphonate and (2) an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylated monomer, wherein the amount of the ethylenically unsaturated carboxylated monomer is sufficient to permit the copolymer to associate with an inorganic pigment in an aqueous medium in a manner which disperses the inorganic pigment in the aqueous medium to form a stable aqueous dispersion of the inorganic pigment. The pigment dispersants according to the invention are particularly useful for dispersing concentrated ZnO slurries having a ZnO content of up to about 70% and in slurries containing ZnO in the presence of TiO2.

  • Patent number: 6472440
    Abstract: Defoamers are the products of the reaction of epichlorohydrin and compounds having the formula II R3(EO)n(PO)mOH  (II) wherein R3 is an alkyl, alkenyl or arenyl group having from 4 to 22 carbon atoms; a substituted alkyl or alkenyl group having from 4 to 22 carbon atoms wherein; n is a number from 0 to 50 and m is a number from 0 to 10; wherein the mole ratio of epichlorohydrin to (II) is from about 0.60/1 to about 2/1 are extremely efficient defoamers for aqueous surfactant systems. The defoamers are added to a surfactant in an amount sufficient to reduce or eliminate foam and have the advantage of being totally dispersible in water, are readily biodegradable, contain no organic solvents and do not affect the detergency of surfactants with which they are used because they are nonionic surfactants in themselves.
