  • Patent number: 7001949
    Abstract: An aqueous coating composition comprising a comb copolymer is disclosed. A method of forming a coating from the aqueous coating composition, and a coating formed by that method are also disclosed, as is a method of forming the comb copolymer. The comb copolymer is characterized in that aqueous dispersions of the comb copolymer have a Hard/Soft Balance Advantage value of at least 25%. The aqueous coating composition is capable of producing coatings having an excellent balance of hard and soft properties.

  • Patent number: 5201948
    Abstract: A method of improving the scrub resistance of a paint is provided. The method involves adding to a paint containing at least one polymeric binder having a glass transition temperature greater than about 20.degree. C. and an average particle size diameter of from about 70 nanometers to about 150 nanometers when said binder is formed from at least one acrylic monomer or from about 100 nanometers to about 50 nanometers when said binder is formed from at least 50% by weight of vinyl acetate, at least one coalescent at a concentration of at least about 10% by weight based on the weight of the polymeric binder and where said coalescent is a solvent for the polymeric binder. The method is particularly useful for improving the scrub resistance of flat latex paints.

  • Patent number: 5135568
    Abstract: A method is provided for improving the optical performance of fluorescent coatings. The appearance of fluorescent coatings is improved by the use of hollow polymer particles which scatter ultraviolet light and shorter wavelength visible light. These hollow polymer particles may be employed as an additive in a fluorescent coating, as an additive in a basecoat onto which a conventional fluorescent coating is applied, or as an additive in both the fluorescent coating and the basecoat onto which the fluorescent coating is applied.
