Patents by Inventor Jeffrey Makarewicz

Jeffrey Makarewicz 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).

  • Patent number: 6632865
    Abstract: The present invention provides: a production process for an aqueous coating composition including a resin emulsion, which has excellent storage stability, and besides, excellent sagging performance, adhesion and water resistance. The production process for an aqueous coating composition comprises the steps of: beforehand mixing 20 to 50 parts by weight of an aqueous acrylic resin solution with 100 parts by weight of a resin emulsion, wherein the aqueous acrylic resin solution and the resin emulsion are in a state of not including an organic solvent; and adding an organic solvent to a mixed liquid obtained by mixing the resin emulsion and the aqueous acrylic resin solution.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6613826
    Abstract: The present invention provides: a high viscosity aqueous coating composition, which can be coated onto plastic materials such as polyolefin materials by a HVLP gun, and which has excellent sagging performance and can obtain a coating film with good appearance. The aqueous coating composition comprises an acetylene diol defoamer and a silicone wetting agent in addition to a film-formable component, wherein the nonvolatile solid content of the acetylene diol defoamer is in the range of 0.25 to 1.0 weight % of the entirety of the aqueous coating composition, and the nonvolatile solid content of the silicone wetting agent is in the range of 0.75 to 2.0 weight % of the entirety of the aqueous coating composition.

  • Patent number: 6599980
    Abstract: The present invention provides: a coating composition, with which a 1-coat finish of plastic materials such as polyolefin materials can be performed, and which is aqueous and can be baked at 70° C. for 5 min. to have the following performance: high adhesion, excellent beef tallow resistance and alkaline resistance; and a coated article. The aqueous coating composition comprises: a poly(propylene chloride) resin emulsion including an poly(propylene chloride) resin which has a chlorine content of 15 to 25 weight % and a maleic anhydride moiety content of 1.0 to 5.0 weight %; an acrylic resin emulsion including an acrylic resin which is obtained by modifying the poly(propylene chloride) resin of 0 to 30 weight % and has a glass transition temperature of not lower than 90° C.; a polycarbodiimide crosslinking agent; and a resin powder. An article is coated with the above aqueous coating composition.
