Abstract: Transparent pigment dispersions, having long term storage capabilities and which produce coatings having a rich clean color and excellent transparency are produced by first dispersing the pigment in a resin solution under high speed, high shear, high impact conditions followed by completing the dispersion under conditions of maximized shear and minimized impact. Such pigment dispersions are useful in automotive paints, particularly "metallic" automotive paints.
Abstract: Air drying epoxy esters and alkyd resins are blended with polyacrylate esters of polyols. Coatings made from these blends have improved air-drying properties over the properties of coatings made from the unmodified resins, particularly in hardness and recoatability after overnight dry.
Abstract: Improved concretes and mortars are made from a hydraulic cement, e.g., Portland cement, and aggregate, plus a curable epoxy resin powder. After the concrete or mortar has cured by hydration, it is heated to a temperature high enough to cause the epoxy resin powder to melt, flow and cure.
Abstract: Metal surfaces, after being cleaned of rust with an aqueous acid solution, are rinsed with an aqueous solution of a chelating agent and an ammonium or alkali metal silicate. Such rinsed surfaces remain rust free for extended periods of time. When coated with primer and top-coat paints, excellent durability and corrosion resistance are obtained.
Abstract: Powder coating compositions which produce a variegated speckled appearance after being applied and baked are made from a dry blend of a finely divided fusible polymeric film forming coating composition and an oil soluble dye. Such coating compositions are useful as decorative and protective coatings for many industrial applications.
Abstract: Low molecular weight polymers of ethylenically unsaturated monomers are prepared by a bulk polymerization process using organic mercaptans as the polymerization catalysts and carried out in the presence of oxygen. These low molecular weight polymers find utility as high solids casting and coating resins.
Abstract: Aqueous dispersions of synthetic polymers have been made by polymerizing ethylenically unsaturated monomers in water in the presence of a protective colloid which is a polymer of a hydroxyalkyl acrylate or methacrylate. Such aqueous dispersions are useful in paints, adhesives and textile applications.
