Patent number: 12098296Abstract: A low odor aqueous quick-drying coating composition is described. The composition is a water based latex coating composition that includes a binder component with at least one copolymer and a neutralizing component. The composition dries in less than about 10 minutes at a temperature between about 5° C. to 35° C. and a relative humidity between about 30% and 95% and has a pH of 9.5 or less. The coating composition may be used for applications such as road marking and coating exterior surfaces, where use of a low-odor coating is desired.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2023Date of Patent: September 24, 2024Assignee: SWIMC LLCInventors: Emile Stevens, Andrew Hearley

Publication number: 20230038057Abstract: One or more systems, products, and methods are disclosed to provide for a concentrated surface treatment product, and the preparation, packaging, and application of the concentrated surface treatment product. The product can be easily stored, transported, and packaged in a variety of means while mitigating separation of the components of the surface treatment. The concentrated surface treatment product may be diluted using a solvent such as water by the end-user, allowing a user to mix only what is needed for the project and store the rest with less risk of separation than conventional surface treatments. The concentrated surface treatment may be packaged in a polymer pouch, a dissolvable solid, or in a spray nozzle, and when exposed to water, the concentrated surface treatment mixes and may be applied to a target surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2022Publication date: February 9, 2023Inventor: Andrew HEARLEY

Patent number: 11472902Abstract: An aqueous emulsion is made by emulsion polymerizing at least one free-radically polymerizable monomer and one or more di- or higher-functional chain-extending monomers in the presence of an aqueous solution of an oligomer made from a mixture of free-radically polymerizable monomers including acid-functional free-radically polymerizable comonomers, adhesion-promoting free-radically polymerizable comonomers and other free-radically polymerizable comonomers. The aqueous emulsion is substantially free of adipic dihydrazide, has a minimum film forming temperature?55° C., and on drying has a Koenig hardness of at least 40 sec.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2018Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Inventor: Andrew Hearley
