Publication number: 20170355806Abstract: Paint, clear coat, stain, adhesive, or other aqueous formulations that contain at least one [(dimethylamino)alkyl]-imino-dialcohol and a alkyd emulsion, polymer latex or polyurethane dispersion binder. Also disclosed are methods for manufacture and use of these formulations. The [(dimethylamino)alkyl]-imino-dialcohols provide aqueous formulations having low odor and reduced volatile organic compounds (VOC). The [(dimethylamino)alkyl]-imino-dialcohols also aid in dispersing pigment and other solids so less co-dispersant is needed for aqueous paint or coating formulations.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2015Publication date: December 14, 2017Applicant: RHODIA OPERATIONSInventors: Lichang ZHOU, Derek PAKENHAM, Ayaz KHAN, Hervé ADAM, Jose P.
