  • Preparation of a coatings formulation with alkali swellable polymer particles
    Patent number: 11161986
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process comprising the step of contacting an aqueous dispersion of swelled polymer particles with a rheology modifier and a binder to form a coatings composition with a VOC of less than 50 g/L. The swelled polymer particles arise from neutralization of alkali swellable polymer particles having a high acid core content and a low Tg shell. The composition arising from the process of the present invention is useful for improving open time, especially for low VOC coatings applications.
    Type: Grant

  • COATINGS FORMULATION WITH OPEN TIME ADDITIVE
    Publication number: 20200102412
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an aqueous dispersion of neutralized multistage polymer particles comprising an alkali metal base or a high boiling point amine salt of a carboxylic acid functionalized first stage, and a low Tg second stage (shell). The dispersion is useful as an open time additive.
