Patent number: 9359510Abstract: A custom color paint or stain tinting system employs a dark-colored non-infrared-absorptive liquid base paint or stain and a point-of-sale array of concentrated liquid colorants which when dispensed into the base paint or stain provide custom-tinted non-infrared-absorptive paints or stains in lightened shades and a variety of tints. Dark custom-tinted paints or stains are tinted lighter from a dark-colored base, not darker from a white or light colored base as is done in conventional point-of-sale systems.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2014Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: Valspar Sourcing, Inc.Inventors: Sanford Lee Hertz, Matthew S. Gebhard

Patent number: 8691907Abstract: A water-borne stain blocking primer comprises a) from about 10 to about 30 wt % of a water-dispersible, hydrophobic alkyd resin having an acid number of less, than 40 KOH/g, b) from about 5 to about 30 wt % of a pigment, the pigment having an average aspect ratio of at least 3:3:1; c) from about 0.05 to about 3 wt % of a tannin chelation agent; d) from about 0 to about 20 wt % of a water-dispersible, hydrophobic free-radically polymerized copolymer; e) a hydrophobically modified associative rheology modifier in an amount effective to provide a water-borne primer having an ICI viscosity of from about 0.5 to about 3.0 poise; and a KU viscosity range of from about 80 to about 120 Krebs units; and f) water. The water-borne primer has a VOC content of less than 5%. Methods of preparing and using such water-borne stain blocking primers also are described.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2011Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: Valspar Sourcing, Inc.Inventors: Matthew S.

Patent number: 8460399Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods which are adapted to impart color to concrete or mineral substrate surfaces. Specifically, the present invention relates to a composition and methods adapted to treat concrete surfaces which have the advantage of using a non-corrosive acid-based solution.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2007Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignee: Valspar CorporationInventors: Sanford Lee Hertz, Ed Daraskevich, William W. Tao, Jason J. Netherton, Matthew S. Gebhard

Publication number: 20120247372Abstract: The present invention provides acidic compositions and methods that are adapted to impart color to cementitious or mineral substrate surfaces. Specifically, the present invention relates to acidic compositions and methods adapted to treat cementitious or mineral substrate surfaces that have the advantage of using a less corrosive acid-based solution. The acidic composition incorporates species including a weak base in equilibrium with a conjugate acid. The presence of such species moderates the corrosive behavior of the acid while still allowing excellent coloring action to occur.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2012Publication date: October 4, 2012Inventors: Sanford Lee Hertz, Ed Daraskevich, William Tao, Jason J. Netherton, Matthew S. Gebhard, T. Haward Killilea, Kevin W. Evanson
