  • Additive comprising low surface energy group and hydroxyl groups and coating compositions
    Patent number: 9803042
    Abstract: Additives comprising a low surface energy group and one or more hydroxyl groups are described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 2, 2016
    Date of Patent: October 31, 2017
    Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties Co.
    Inventors: Thomas P. Klun, Mahfuza B. Ali, Richard J. Pokorny, Daniel R. Cremons, Michelle L. Toy
  • Coating compositions comprising polymerizable non-ionic surfactant exhibiting reduced fingerprint visibility
    Patent number: 9701850
    Abstract: A coating composition is described comprising a polymerizable resin composition, a non-ionic unpolymerizable surfactant having an hydrophilic lipophilic balance ranging from 2 to 6, and a polymerizable surfactant. The surfactants are present at a concentration of greater than 10 wt-% solids. The non-ionic unpolymerizable surfactant and polymerizable surfactant are present at a weight ratio of less than 1.5:1. Also described are articles comprising the cured coating composition. The cured coating exhibits a property of an initially visible simulated fingerprint reducing in visibility within 60 minutes.
