Patent number: 10301477Abstract: A composition for forming a hydrophilic coating includes an organic binder having an average particle size from about 1 to about 100 nm and an inorganic binder having an average particle size from about 1 to about 40 nm. The composition further includes an inorganic photocatalyst that catalyzes an oxidation-reduction reaction. Characteristically, the photocatalyst includes a photocatalytic metal oxide having an average particle size from about 1 to about 50 nm. Advantageously, coatings formed from the composition have improved stain resistance, low contact angle, and resistance to dirt adherence, while maintaining a clear optical character.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: Behr Process CorporationInventors: Jinzhen Shi, Ming-Ren Tarng, Jigui Li, Shuxue Zhou, Limin Wu, Ling Yang

Patent number: 9340433Abstract: A method of making a titanium oxide-containing coating composition comprises attaching an initiator to a pretreated titanium oxide to form an initiator/pretreated titanium oxide complex. The pretreated titanium oxide includes a plurality of pretreated titanium oxide particles which are titanium oxide particles that are pretreated with at least one metal oxide. The initiator/pretreated titanium oxide complex is contacted with a polymerizable unsaturated monomer such that a polymeric encapsulate forms on the initiator/pretreated titanium oxide particles to form polymeric encapsulated titanium oxide particles.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2011Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignees: Behr Process Corporation, Northwestern UniversityInventors: Xiaowu Fan, Jinzhen Shi, Ming-ren Tarng, Dong-Keun Lee, Phillip B.

Publication number: 20140010965Abstract: Methods for enhancing the deicing properties of a cementitious substrate using a polymer-based coating are provided. Coating formulations and coated cementitious surfaces are also provided. The methods comprise applying an aqueous emulsion to a surface of the cementitious substrate and allowing the aqueous emulsion to dry, such that a continuous, fluorine-containing, polymeric coating is formed over the surface of the cementitious substrate. When applied to a cementitious surface, the coating penetrates into the underlying cementitious substrate and bonds with the substrate to provide the cementitious surface with hydrophobic and other properties that improve the deicing properties of the surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2012Publication date: January 9, 2014Applicant: BEHR PROCESS CORPORATIONInventors: Jigui Li, Ming-Ren Tarng, Xiaowu Fan, Jinzhen Shi

Publication number: 20120052317Abstract: A colorant formulation for use in paint includes a titanium dioxide dispersion and at least one pigment that has an infrared reflectance of at least approximately 60 percent when provided in a clear base over a white substrate and less than approximately 40 percent when provided in a clear base over a black substrate. The colorant formulation does not include pigments that have an infrared reflectance of less than approximately 60 percent when provided in a clear base over a white substrate. The colorant formulation is configured to provide a total solar reflectance for the paint of at least about 50 percent when provided over a white substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2011Publication date: March 1, 2012Applicant: MILGARD MANUFACTURING INCORPORATEDInventors: Jinzhen Shi, Semen Kharchenko
