Patent number: 11926967Abstract: The present invention provides water-based coatings that provide liquid resistance when applied to various substrates. In some embodiments, more than one layer of coatings can be applied, using multiple coating stations. The coatings are particularly suitable for cellulosic substrates such as paper or paper board. In addition to liquid resistance, the coatings have good heat sealability, and are resistant to roll blocking. Preferably, the coatings are recyclable and/or repulpable with the substrates to which they are applied. The coating compositions comprise one or more polymer binders, and one or more particles. Preferably, at least one polymer binder has a glass transition temperature (Tg) less than 10° C. Preferably, at least one polymer binder has a heat seal onset temperature of less than 200° C. Preferably, at least one particle has a mean particle size greater than 4 ?m. It is also preferable that the particles have a melting point greater than 60° C.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2020Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: SUN CHEMICAL CORPORATIONInventors: Yongping Zha, Vanessa Gordon, Philippe Schottland

Patent number: 11242461Abstract: Described herein are coatings which impart oil, grease, and water resistance to various materials, such as paper, paperboard and polymeric materials. Such coatings may be applied as barrier coatings to the substrate materials in order to inhibit and prevent the transmission of oil, grease and water; that is, to prevent oil, water grease from passing into and/or through the substrate material. The coatings include an acrylic-based polymer latex, a styrene-butadiene rubber latex, a styrene-acrylic resin solution, a large particle size wax, and optionally, a small particle size wax. Also disclosed herein is a process of preparing the coatings. Also disclosed are products to which the coatings have been applied in order to impart oil, grease and/or water resistance, and processes for preparing such products.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2017Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: Sun Chemical CorporationInventors: Yongping Zha, Vanessa Gordon, Saverio Lucci, Philippe Schottland

Publication number: 20220010182Abstract: Described herein are adhesive compositions, and in particular to solventless adhesive compositions, which can be used to construct laminates, such as flexible laminate materials used to construct flexible packaging (among other things). In another aspect, the solventless adhesive materials are essentially monomer and/or catalyst free, making them well suited for use in making laminates for packaged foods, beverages, and other sensitive materials, e.g., materials which should not be contaminated or not contaminated to unacceptable levels. Also described are laminates made with the adhesive compositions. Laminates made with the adhesive compositions exhibit sufficient bond strength to be slit after 4-8 hours after formation and even 4-5 hours after formation.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2019Publication date: January 13, 2022Applicant: SUN CHEMICAL CORPORATIONInventors: Thierry Frinault, Paul M.

Patent number: 10662349Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of enabling the easy separation of labels, including wrap around labels and sleeve labels, particularly shrink sleeve labels, from containers during recycling through the use of a specially formulated coating to be applied in the seam area. The coatings ensure proper bonding, and shrink properties, of the labels, and have been designed to help de-bonding of the seam in a hot caustic wash step, or a solvent wash step. The method does not rely on floatation separation and therefore may be applied to any container/label material combination regardless of their specific gravity differences.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2018Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: Sun Chemical CorporationInventors: Philippe Schottland, Robert Mateuszczyk, Saverio Lucci, Yongping Zha

Patent number: 10643501Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a coating composition used to form a bond in the seam area of a label substrate material that wraps around an article and is shrunk in conformance to the size and shape of the article. The coating composition is comprised of at least first and second resins, and in some instances, third resins as described herein. The coating composition provides good bond strength in the seam area of the label, and the coating composition and/or each of the resins thereof may be at least partially hydrolysable but not solutionable in a hot caustic bath, enabling separation of the label from the article during recycling. Further disclosed is a method providing for the separation of labels from the articles, and further disclosed are labeled articles employing the coating compositions.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2018Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: Sun Chemical CorporationInventors: Philippe Schottland, Robert Mateuszczyk, Saverio Lucci, Yongping Zha
