  • Patent number: 9447215
    Abstract: This invention provides a multistage emulsion polymer including, as copolymerized units: from 0.5% to 5%, by weight P-acid monomer, based on the weight of the emulsion polymer; from 0% to 0.05% by weight multiethylenically unsaturated monomer, based on the weight of the emulsion polymer; and at least one second monoethylenically unsaturated monomer; the emulsion polymer having a calculated Tg of from ?20° C. to 50° C.; the emulsion polymer is formed by the “pulsed” addition of 75% to 100% of the P-acid monomer during a stage including from 10% to 50% of the total monomer weight, preferably added during the relatively early stages of the polymerization. A multistage polymer/TiO2 composite particle and an aqueous coating composition including the composite particle are also provided.

Also provided is a method for forming a stable aqueous composition including composite particles by admixing TiO2 particles and adsorbing emulsion polymer particles at a mixing intensity of greater than 2 hp/kgal. A method for providing a coating including composite particles is also included.

  • Patent number: 8609759
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a latex composition comprising a) an opaque polymer having a pigment volume concentration of from 18 to 28; b) fully or partially polymer encapsulated TiO2 particles having a pigment volume concentration of from 8 to 18; c) an extender having a pigment volume concentration of from 0 to 10; d) a binder; e) a thickener; and f) water. Notwithstanding the surprisingly high pigment volume concentration of opaque polymer, the composition—upon application to a substrate—gives a coating with a gloss or semi-gloss finish, excellent hiding, and acceptable burnish resistance.

  • Patent number: 7612129
    Abstract: A paint manufacturing method includes receiving each of a group of fluid prepaints at different inputs of a fluid component mixing system, determining at a computer system a first fluid prepaint ratio, and mixing the fluid prepaints in accordance with the first ratio to form a base paint at an output of the mixing system. A paint manufacturing system includes a computer-controlled prepaint mixing system. The prepaint mixing system includes multiple fluid inputs providing for computer-controllable flow of prepaints into the mixing system. The computer system includes a memory storing software instructions that configured the computer system to receive user input selecting a base paint to be produced, determine a ratio of fluid prepaints needed to produce the base paint, and regulate each fluid flow control to establish, in the determined ratio, a flow of fluid prepaints entering the fluid mixing system.
