Abstract: An aqueous emulsion including a discontinuous oil phase comprising: a) a polyorganohydrogensiloxane, b) an amino-modified polyorganosiloxane comprising at least one amino group located at a terminal position and c) a blocked isocyanate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a compound which is a benzophenone substituted with a hydroxyl-terminated alkylene oxide group (R) of formula 1: where R is a combination of from 1 to 13 propylene oxide groups and from 5 to 20 ethylene oxide groups, with the proviso that the sum of the propylene oxide groups and the ethylene oxide groups is not greater than 25. The compound of the present invention provides a non-volatile, non-toxic photoinitiator that provides excellent gloss retention in exterior architectural coatings.

Abstract: An aqueous emulsion comprising an aqueous continuous phase and a discontinuous oil phase comprising particles having an interpenetrating network (IPN) comprising: i) an MQ resin, ii) a polyorganosiloxane and iii) an organic polymer.

Abstract: The present invention is a composition comprising a stable aqueous dispersion of polymer particles comprising structural units of a phosphorus acid monomer or a salt thereof and structural units of a photoinitiator monomer. Gloss retention of paints containing the latex described herein is markedly improved over paints that do not have photoinitiator chemically bound to the latex particles.
