  • Patent number: 9359510
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9309417
    Abstract: A custom color paint or stain tinting system employs at least one light-colored non-infrared-absorptive base paint or stain packaged in a point-of-sale container and an array of colorants including an infrared-absorptive black liquid colorant, a non-infrared-absorptive black liquid colorant, and one or more additional liquid colorants made with non-infrared-absorptive pigments. The infrared-absorptive black liquid colorant or non-infrared-absorptive black liquid colorant may respectively be used to make custom-tinted interior or exterior paints and stains.

  • Patent number: 8691907
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 8460399
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20120247372
    Abstract: 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.
