  • Emulsion compositions for use in printing inks
    Patent number: 7947760
    Abstract: Polymer emulsion compositions for use in printing inks and printing inks made from the compositions are provided. The emulsion compositions include an aqueous continuous phase containing water and a dissolved carboxylic acid-functional support polymer. The dispersed phase of the emulsion composition contains crosslinked, dispersed polymer particles. The emulsion compositions also include at least one multivalent metal crosslinker and at least one stabilizing agent. The polymer emulsion compositions display superior printability properties in inks and other coatings formulated with them, yet are stable at elevated temperatures for long periods of time.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 19, 2005
    Date of Patent: May 24, 2011
    Assignee: BASF Corporation

  • Stabilized water-borne polymer compositions for use as water-based coatings
    Patent number: 7910663
    Abstract: Stable water-borne polymer compositions are disclosed. The compositions comprise a water-borne polymer, a metal cross-linking agent and a stabilizing agent comprising from 2 to 10 carbon atoms and at least two functional groups independently selected from hydroxy and carboxy. The stabilizing agent is present a 1.4 mole percent or more of the amount of metal cross-linking agent. Inventive compositions are particularly suitable for use in water-based inks and coatings. Methods of making and using the coating compositions are also described.
