Abstract: Aqueous coating compositions as well as methods of using thereof are described. The coating compositions can be a two-part aqueous coating composition. The first coating component can comprise one or more polymers and the second coating component can comprise a catalyst such as phosphoric acid. The first coating component and the second coating component can be provided as separate aqueous compositions. The first coating component and a second coating component that can be co-applied (e.g., simultaneously or sequentially) to a surface form a rapid set coating.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are coating compositions comprising one or more enzymes that retain enzymatic activity following film formation. Uses of such functionalized coating compositions to confer bioactive properties to surfaces are also provided. Methods of enhancing in-film enzyme activity by modulation of filler type, pigment volume concentration (PVC), neutralizer type, and/or coalescing agent level are also provided.

Abstract: Described herein are methods of making a composition, the method comprising polymerizing monomers comprising a hydrophobic monomer in the presence of a solid grade oligomer, thereby forming a (co)polymer derived from the hydrophobic monomer, wherein the (co)polymer is derived from 5% by weight to 100% by weight of the hydrophobic monomer based on the total monomer weight. The hydrophobic monomer has a solubility in water of 0.2 g/100 g or less as measured at 20° C. The hydrophobic monomer comprises a substituted or unsubstituted C10-C22 alkyl (meth)acrylate, a substituted or unsubstituted C8-C20 alkenyl (meth)acrylate, a substituted or unsubstituted C5-C12 cycloalkyl (meth)acrylate, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an aqueous dispersion comprising a water-insoluble pesticide and polymer particles, wherein the polymer particles comprise a copolymerizable surfactant in polymerized form; to a method of preparing the aqueous dispersion; a method of controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or undesired plant growth and/or undesired insect or mite attack and/or for regulating the growth of plants; and seed containing said aqueous dispersion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an aqueous suspoemulsion comprising a first pesticide, which is dissolved in a water-immiscible solvent, a second pesticide, which is suspended in continuous aqueous phase, and a polymer in form of polymer particles, where the polymer comprises methyl (meth)acrylate and C2-C12 alkyl (meth)acrylate in polymerized form. Furthermore, the invention relates to a process for the preparation of said suspoemulsion by contacting water, the first pesticide, the second pesticide, the water-immiscible solvent and the polymer particles.
