  • Publication number: 20220235244
    Abstract: Provided herein are novel and improved weight coating systems suitable for use with pipes, particularly pipes that are submerged in liquid, such as water, in environments including oceans, seas, marshes, lakes and rivers. The novel coating systems provided herein comprise an aggregate and a polyurethane binder, wherein the polyurethane binder is a two -component composition comprising an isocyanate component and an iso-cyanate-reactive component. The coating systems provided have increased durability, as well as flexibility allowing for efficiencies related to transportation, storage, use and resistance to corrosive effects. Furthermore, the coating systems are cost effective and have minimal or zero impact on the environments in which they are utilized.

  • Patent number: 10808140
    Abstract: A coating, system comprises 30 to 90 parts by weight of a bioresin component and 10 to 70 parts by weight of an isocyanate component, based on 100 parts by weight of the coating system, and has a percent solids of greater than 60%. The bioresin component comprises an acrylic polymer and a biopolyol formed from a natural oil. A method of forming a coating on a substrate with the coating system comprises the steps of combining the bioresin component and the isocyanate component to form a reaction mixture having a percent solids of greater than 60 percent, applying the reaction mixture onto the substrate, and curing the reaction mixture to form the coating on the substrate.

  • Patent number: 6852771
    Abstract: Coating composition comprising (a1) radiation curable component that polymerizes upon exposure to actinic radiation comprising at least two functional groups comprising at least one bond that is activatable upon exposure to actinic radiation, optionally, at least one isocyanate-reactive functional group, and optionally, at least one hydroxyl-reactive functional group; (a2) thermally curable binder component that polymerizes upon exposure to heat comprising at least two functional groups that are reactive with functional groups of component (a3), wherein at least 5% by weight based on a nonvolatile weight of component (a2) is component (X) that is a polymer with at least two functional groups (a21), a Tg of less than 0° C., and an equivalent weight of greater than 225; (a3) thermally curable crosslinking component comprising at least two functional groups that are reactive with functional groups of (a2); and (a4) optionally, at least one reactive diluent.
