Abstract: A method for providing a coated vehicle transparency, includes the steps of: (a) providing a vehicle transparency having a vision area and a non-vision area; and (b) applying a sound dampening coating composition to at least a portion of the non-vision area of the transparency. The coating composition can an aqueous dispersion of polymeric microparticles prepared from components including: (i) a functional material selected from (a) a nitrile functional material, (b) an amide functional material, and (c) a carbamate functional material; (ii) a polyoxyalkylene acrylate; and (iii) a filler material.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an aqueous dispersion of silicon compounds and to a process for making them and methods of treating a surface using them. The dispersions have water, a separate liquid phase of an incompatible silicone, and an anionic surfactant. The water contains a stabilizing amount of a dissolved electrolyte, and the dispersion contains an effective amount of stabilizing anionic surfactants.
