  • ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION MITIGATION IN COATINGS WITH SPHERICAL PARTICLES
    Publication number: 20250109298
    Abstract: Coating compositions comprising a polymer binder and a sphere selected from porous metal oxide spheres formed from metal oxide particles and having, e.g., an average porosity of from 0.10 to 0.90; polymer spheres formed from a multimodal distribution of polymer particles; or mixtures thereof, are described herein. The sphere enhances the reflective characteristics of the coating compositions with respect to electromagnetic radiation. In particular, the coating compositions when dried, can exhibit UV reflectance, visible light reflectance, IR reflectance, or a combination thereof.
    Type: Application

  • Reaction products and use of same in defoamer compositions and methods for defoaming
    Patent number: 10982046
    Abstract: Reaction products of an optionally alkoxylated alcohol, a polyalkylene alcohol and a linker can be used in various applications such as defoamers. Methods of making the reaction products and defoamer compositions including the reaction products, and methods of using the reaction products to reduce or prevent foam in a composition are also disclosed. The reaction products can be used with an organic solvent or without an organic solvent to provide low VOC compositions.
