Patent number: 9447215Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2011Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Assignee: Rohm and Haas CompanyInventors: James Charles Bohling, Steven James Broadwater, Arnold Stan Brownell, John William Hook, III, Reginald T.

Patent number: 8710133Abstract: This invention provides a method for forming a stable aqueous composition including composite particles by admixing TiO2 particles and adsorbing emulsion polymer particles at or below the critical composite ratio to an equilibrated viscosity range of from 200 cps to 4000 cps. 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2011Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignees: Rohm and Haas Company, Dow Global Technologies LLCInventors: James Charles Bohling, John William Hook, III, Melinda H.

Patent number: 8609759Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2012Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: Rohm and Haas CompanyInventors: David Michael Fasano, John William Hook, Qing Zhang

Patent number: 7612129Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2004Date of Patent: November 3, 2009Assignee: Rohm and Haas CompanyInventors: John Michael Friel, John William Hook, III, Jerry William Washel, Bernhard Helmut Lieser
