  • Patent number: 9388291
    Abstract: Described are thin plane-parallel aluminum flakes illustrated in FIG. 1 having a thickness of up to 200 nm and comprising an inner layer of oxidized aluminium having a thickness of 0.5-30 nm, a process for the manufacture thereof and the use thereof, e.g. in formulations, like paints, electrostatic coatings, printing inks, plastics materials, and cosmetics. Surprisingly, due to the inner layer of oxidized aluminum the aluminum flakes have an improved shear stability as evidenced e.g. by the difference in lightness before and after shear stress.

  • Publication number: 20160196815
    Abstract: A description is given of an aqueous polymer dispersion comprising a polymer which is obtainable by emulsion polymerization from a monomer mixture comprising as hydrophilic monomers ethoxylated (meth)acrylate monomer, acid monomer, and C1 to C20 hydroxyalkyl(meth)acrylate; and also at least one hydrophobic principal monomer, selected from C1 to C20 alkyl(meth)acrylates and vinylaromatics; and also, optionally, further monomers. This polymer is preparable by at least two-stage emulsion polymerization, where in a first polymerization stage the predominant fraction or the entire amount of the hydrophilic monomers is used, and in a later polymerization stage the predominant fraction or the entire amount of the hydrophobic monomers is used. The polymer dispersion is a suitable binder for aqueous particle dispersions, more particularly of sound deadener compositions, which comprise inorganic and optionally also organic particulate solids.
