  • Compositions and methods for remediation of sulfate reducing prokaryotes
    Patent number: 11959068
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for use in controlling souring and corrosion causing prokaryotes, such as SRP, by treating oil and gas field environments or treatment fluids with a newly identified bacterial strain ATCC Accession No. PTA-124262 as a self-propagating whole cell that produces an anti-SRP bacteriocin in situ. In another aspect, the methods use one or more toxic peptides or proteins isolated therefrom in methods to control unwanted prokaryotic growth in these environments.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 27, 2023
    Date of Patent: April 16, 2024
    Assignee: Lanxess Corporation
    Inventors: Kathleen Manna, Ian A. Tomlinson, Abhiram Thatipelli, Christopher Janes, Elizabeth J. Summer

  • Enzyme curable alkyd composition
    Patent number: 8841360
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a coatings composition comprising an alkyd, a pigment, a rheology modifier, a radical producing oxidoreductase, and one or more additives, wherein the alkyd contains at least one C6-30—C(O)O— group having at least one diallylic group. The coatings composition of the present invention cures relatively rapidly without ancillary crosslinking agents and with minimal, if any, VOCs from solvents or coalescents.

  • Hindered primary chlorinated amine in a latex formulation
    Patent number: 8759416
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process comprising adding a sufficient amount of a halamine with a latex binder to achieve microbial prophylaxis, wherein the halamine is characterized by the following formula: wherein X1 is H, Br, or Cl; X2 is Br or Cl; and R1 is H or a C1-30 alkyl group or mixtures thereof. The present invention also relates to a composition comprising the halamine and a latex binder. The present invention provides a quick kill shelf stable preservative for latex binders and for formulations that use such binders.
