  • Patent number: 8481127
    Abstract: Cyclodextrin compositions including one or more radiation polymerizable monomers and a cyclodextrin inclusion complex, the cyclodextrin inclusion complex including a cyclodextrin compound and an olefinic inhibitor of an ethylene generation in produce, are coated onto packaging materials and cured. Treated containers and treated package inserts having the cured cyclodextrin compositions are useful in packaging of respiring plant materials.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6878794
    Abstract: Amine-terminated urethane oligomer compositions are described that include very high oligomer concentrations. The compositions are melts of the amine-terminated oligomers. The compositions can include one or more property modifiers. The compositions are useful in the formation of crosslinked copolymers, especially with epoxy resins. The resulting copolymers are useful in the formation of coatings.

  • Patent number: 6096383
    Abstract: A process for applying a coating to a floor surface and curing that coating after application includes the steps of first spreading a photochemically curable liquid coating in a thickness of from about 0.003 to about 0.006 inches on a floor surface. After the coating has been applied, it is exposed to ultraviolet radiation at a power level of about 40 watts per inch of width of coating being cured and at two different sequentially applied wavelengths. This cures the liquid coating instantly to a durable solid coating. The first applied ultraviolet radiation may have the wavelength of about 365 nm and the second applied ultraviolet radiation may have a wavelength of about 254 nm. The ultraviolet radiation is provided by an array of UV lights on a mobile, self-powered vehicle which moves over the floor coating at a speed in the range of 20 to 40 feet per minute.

  • Patent number: 5227414
    Abstract: An ambient temperature-curing aqueous urethane-epoxy emulsion coating composition is provided comprising an essentially organic solvent-free emulsion in water of:(a) a urethane oligomer, terminated with primary amine functional groups which are reactive with epoxides, said oligomer being the reaction product of an isocyanate-terminated polyurethane prepolymer and a mono- or polyketimine compound containing one other functional group bearing a single active hydrogen atom which reacts with the isocyanate groups to yield a ketimine-terminated urethane oligomer, said ketimine-terminated urethane oligomer being emulsified into the water by conversion of the ketimine groups into primary amine groups and formation of acid salt of 25-50% of the amine groups by a volatile organic acid; and(b) a polyepoxide in an amount sufficient to provide a ratio of total primary amino group hydrogen atoms to epoxide groups of about 0.9 to 2.
