Patent number: 10689801Abstract: The present invention relates to substrates comprising a coating on the surface thereof containing colorant complexes made from specific anionic dyes complexed with cationic compounds, such as substrates having a coating thereon intended to mimic the look and feel of leather. The inventive colored coatings have superior compatibility, transparency, solvent fastness, non-migration and water fastness properties.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2015Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: Millikan & CompanyInventors: Xiaoyong Michael Hong, Chunping Xie, Brian Sun, Mary E. Mason, Sanjeev K. Dey

Patent number: 7094918Abstract: Novel ultraviolet absorbing compounds that are liquid in nature, are low in color (and thus permit use without the concomitant necessity of adding large amounts of other coloring agents to combat such discoloring), and are highly effective in providing protection in wavelength ranges for which previous attempts at low-color ultraviolet absorbers have failed are provided herein. Such compounds provide such excellent, inexpensive, and beneficial protection from ultraviolet exposure within various media, including, but not limited to, clear thermoplastics. The particular compounds are generally polymeric in nature including various chain lengths of polyoxyalkylenes thereon and are liquid in nature to facilitate handling and introduction within the target media. In addition, such ultraviolet absorbers also exhibit extremely low migratory properties thereby providing long-term protective benefits to the target media as well.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2003Date of Patent: August 22, 2006Assignee: Milliken & CompanyInventors: Jusong Xia, Mary E. Mason, Eric B. Stephens
