Patent number: 8188183Abstract: Coating compositions are provided which may be applied from aqueous systems and contain binders which are autoxidisable to produce rapid drying hard coatings, preferred binders are based on polymers derived from monomers obtained by the reaction of drying oil fatty acids and unsaturated monomers. The polymers contain microgels, have low Tg and contain residual unsaturation; preferred copolymers also contain amide groups. The drying of the coating compositions can be accelerated by the use of metal dryers and have been found to enable the use of particularly low levels of vanadium dryers.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2005Date of Patent: May 29, 2012Assignee: Imperial Chemical Industries, PLCInventors: Manish Sarkar, Barry Osborn, Thomas Charreton, Helen Silgram

Patent number: 6903157Abstract: A thickened aqueous coating composition (preferably paints and the like or adhesives) containing a film-forming polymeric binder which produces dried coatings having less sensitivity to water by using a thickener which is autoxidisable. Preferred autoxidisable moieties are provided by derivatives of long chain fatty acids of the type used in alkyd paints and association is the preferred thickener mechanism. The moieties may form part of a compound which can take part in a copolymerisation to form a polymeric backbone for the thickener and if the compound is not very soluble in water, the copolymerisation mixture is subjected to intensive agitation to form droplets of less than 500 nm which compensates for the lack of solubility. The thickener may serve as its own binder if sufficient amounts are used.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2001Date of Patent: June 7, 2005Assignee: Imperial Chemical Industries PLcInventors: Manish Sarkar, Stephane Patrick Belmudes

Patent number: 6740703Abstract: A thickened aqueous coating composition (preferably paints and the like or adhesives) containing a film-forming polymeric binder which produces dried coatings having less sensitivity to water by using a thickener which is autoxidizable. Preferred autoxidizable moieties are provided by long chain fatty acids of the type used in alkyd paints and association is the preferred thickener mechanism. The moieties may form part of a compound which can take part in a copolymerization to form a cellulose-free polymeric backbone for the thickener and if the compound is not very soluble in water, the copolymerization mixture is subjected to intensive agitation to form droplets of less than 500 nm number average diameter which compensates for the lack of solubility. The thickener may serve as a binder if sufficient amounts are used.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2002Date of Patent: May 25, 2004Assignee: Imperial Chemical Industries PLCInventors: Manish Sarkar, Stephane Patrick Belmudes
