David J. Miklos has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Chlorine-free, zero voc, waterborne adhesion promoter for polyolefinic substrates
    Patent number: 6455614
    Abstract: A zero VOC aqueous coating composition comprising a halogen-free propylene/&agr;-olefin copolymer having an &agr;,&bgr;-unsaturated dicarboxylic acid or anhydride grafted thereon, a neutralizing base, a water-dispersible resin containing at least two epoxy groups and an acid catalyst is applied to a plastic substrate comprising a propylene polymer. The dried coating promotes adhesion of a subsequent coating to the polypropylene-based surface of the article.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 16, 1998
    Date of Patent: September 24, 2002

  • Zero VOC aqueous dispersion of an acid-modified polyolefin and a monoepoxide/polymeric acid adduct
    Patent number: 5801219
    Abstract: An acid-modified polyolefin is dispersed in water by adding a hydroxy-functional ester made from a polymeric acid and a monoepoxide having from 14 to 46 carbon atoms to the water. Said dispersion is substantially zero-VOC. When a composition of this invention is applied to the surface and cured by baking the article at an elevated temperature, a coating is obtained which improves the adherence of subsequent coatings to a polyolefinic article. A polyolefinic article is one having a surface comprising polypropylene or a polypropylene modified with rubber called a thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO).

  • Chlorine-free, zero VOC, waterborne adhesion promoter for polyolefinic substrates
    Patent number: 5709946
    Abstract: A zero VOC aqueous coating composition comprising a halogen-free propylene/.alpha.-olefin copolymer having an .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated dicarboxylic acid or anhydride grafted thereon, a base, and a water-dispersible resin containing at least two epoxy groups is applied to a plastic substrate comprising a propylene polymer. The dried coating promotes adhesion of a subsequent coating to the polypropylene-based surface of the article.
