  • Porous Silicon Oxide Beads for Use As Drying Agents for Waterborne Latex Paint Compositions
    Publication number: 20180258292
    Abstract: A highway marking paint is provided formed from a waterborne latex paint and porous silica beads having a pore volume in the range of 0.3 cc/g to 3.0 cc/g. The silica beads enable the paint to achieve sufficient viscosity to permit the application of a highway marking of at least 40 mil and preferably at least 120 mil. The highway marking paint can also include retroreflective glass beads. Optionally, the highway marking paint further includes an acrylic polymer emulsion. The porous silica in bead form enhances the flowability of the porous silica beads and retroreflective beads.

  • High concentration surfactant compositions and methods
    Publication number: 20070270326
    Abstract: A high concentration, aqueous liquid surfactant composition is disclosed, comprising at least one amphoteric and/or anionic surfactant and a liquid-stabilizing amount of at least one liquid-stabilizing agent. The liquid-stabilizing agent is a succinic acid derivative, glutaric acid derivative or a combination thereof. The composition is pourable and pumpable at ambient room temperature.
