Randall A. Funston has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20130012627
    Abstract: The present system is a waterborne coating system comprising a two-part aqueous polyurethane coating which provides for building solvent based equivalent film thickness without foaming or gassing while retaining properties of little or no volatile organic compound (VOC) or hazardous air pollutant (HAPs) emission. A blend of various acrylic copolomers neutralized in water based emulsion and combined with an emulsified polyester polyol provides the resin system allowing adhesion to a various number of substrates. In at least one embodiment, the acrylic polyol is an acrylic copolymer having the hydrophilizing groups and isocyanate-reactive functionality incorporated into the polymer via appropriate monomer selection or subsequent modification.

  • Patent number: 7951869
    Abstract: The present system is a waterborne coating composition comprising a low VOC (<50 g/l) acrylic epoxy coating which is capable of high build coating formation (>12 mils) without foaming. The coating composition may be made, stored and transported as a two-part composition, where each part is a pourable liquid. The waterborne acrylic epoxy composition cures under ambient condition to give tenacious adhesion to a variety substrates. The coating system, described herein, is designed as an ambient cure system, but may also be cured at elevated temperatures. The two component emulsion composition is useful for coating applications. One component is an emulsion comprised of a blend of a hydroxy functional acrylic polymer co-reactant, suitable additives, pigments and epoxy resin The second component is a waterborne amine hardener for curing or crosslinking the first component.
