  • Publication number: 20190390079
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to epoxy compositions and more particularly to two-part epoxy compositions that are useful for marking substrates, such as roadway and airport runway surfaces. The compositions and methods described herein can reduce build-up on applicator pump seals. Such build-up can lead to pump failure. In some cases, the compositions can reduce down-time due to pump failure. However, the compositions retain the necessary properties for substrate marking, such as curing within a short period of time.

  • Publication number: 20180355189
    Abstract: Curable coating compositions for preventing biofouling include a) at least one epoxy resin; b) at least one amine-functional poly(dialkylsiloxane) polymer in an amount from 1 to 70% based on the combined weights of components a) and b); and c) at least one alkylene polyamine, polyalkylene polyamine or polymercaptan epoxy curing agent; wherein components b) and c) together provide about 0.75 to 1.5 equivalents of amine nitrogen atoms and/or thiol groups per equivalent of epoxy groups provided by component a). When cured to form an antifouling coating, the coating exhibits a water contact angle of at least 100° as measured using an optical contact angle meter at 22° C. The coating composition adheres well to many substrates, provides good anticorrosion protection and is an effective anti-biofouling measure.

  • Patent number: 10011703
    Abstract: An epoxy or hardener mixture comprising (a) optionally water, (b) at least one hardener or epoxy resin, and (c) from 0.1 to 20 weight percent, based on epoxy resin of at least one distyryl phenol, tristyryl phenol or cumylphenol based additive surfactant with phosphate or sulfonate end groups having the structure R—OXn-W wherein R designates a polystyrylphenol or cumylphenol, preferentially chosen from among distyrylphenol, tristyrylphenol or cumylphenol, and mixtures thereof, and wherein OX designates ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide. The number of groups “n” varies from 0 to 200, and W designates H, sulfate (—SO3?) or phosphate (—PO3H or —PO2—OXnR). Freeze thaw resistance and improved stability is obtained in epoxy mixtures used in dispersion form. Improved pot life and cure time is obtained using either the epoxy mixture, the hardener mixture or a combination of the two in epoxy hardener formulations.
