  • Patent number: 10513617
    Abstract: A method for preparing an aqueous based coating system, and coating systems made thereby, for coating onto paper and/or paperboard for providing barrier to liquid, moisture vapor, oil and grease including a pigment and a polymer emulsion system or natural based binding system. One alternative of the method includes surface treating a pigment to form a pigment system and mixing a polymer emulsion system or natural based binding system with the pigment system. Another alternative of the method includes mixing a pigment and polymer emulsion system or natural based binding system and hydrophobizing the polymer emulsion system or natural based binding system by adding silanes, siloxanes, siloxane/silicone resin blends, or their carbon based analogs.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 2, 2017
    Date of Patent: December 24, 2019
    Assignee: BASF Corporation

  • Publication number: 20110046284
    Abstract: This invention is directed to novel pigments, pigment systems (including components not classified as pigments) and formulations for use in an aqueous coating system applied onto cellulosic (paper and/or paperboard) and non-cellulosic substrates (polyethylene (PE), polylactic acid (PLA), polyvinyl acetate (PVAc), etc.) to impart barrier properties.

  • Patent number: 7807008
    Abstract: A three layer coated fabric has a bottom backing layer, a top coating layer and a middle coating layer that contains recycled coated fabric material. All of the constituent parts of coated fabrics being recycled are included in the middle layer. The middle layer also sometimes contains other materials that can blend with the recycled coated fabrics or other recycled post-consumer materials. The three layer coated fabric is manufactured by transforming the recycled coated fabrics and other materials into a form that can be used to create the middle layer.
