A preferred plasticizer is poly butyl acrylate.In a preferred embodiment, alkyd resins are included in the composition to reduce the tendency of paint films to shrink on ageing and "creep" when used in very heavy impasto applications.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 1992Date of Patent: July 5, 1994Inventor: James C. Cobb

Patent number: 5310578Abstract: A process for coating the surface of pigment and filler particles with an oleaginous and cosmetically functional material, characterized in that an aqueous suspension of the pigment or filler is mixed with an emulsion of said oleaginous material to be coated onto the surface of pigment or filler particles, followed by adding a component capable of breaking the emulsion to the thus obtained mixture, whereby the emulsified material coalesces onto the surface of the pigment or filler particles. The thus obtained pigments or fillers exhibit excellent properties when used in cosmetics.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 1990Date of Patent: May 10, 1994Assignee: Merck Patent GesellschaftInventors: Angelika Thurn-Muller, Jane Hollenberg, Ian Scott

Patent number: 5279766Abstract: A composition is the reaction product of(1) a alkylene diamine condensate compound containing a poly(oxyalkylene)group and having at least two --OH groups;(2) a compound other than as defined in (1) which contains at least two reactive hydrogen atoms present as --OH, --NH.sub.2 or --NHR;(3) a carboxylic acid containing at least two carboxylic acid groups or an anhydride or chloride thereof; and(4) a mono-carboxylic acid, a mono-hydroxycompound, a secondary mono-amine or a hindered primary mono-amine;where components (2) and (3) may be replaced, at least partially, by a substituted carboxylic acid. The resulting composition is non-ionic and can be used to prepare a wide range of emulsions or dispersions of solids in liquids.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 1992Date of Patent: January 18, 1994Assignee: ICI Americas Inc.Inventor: Gerd Dahms
