Abstract: Copolymers and latex paint compositions using such copolymers that are heat-age stable and provide good adhesion, block resistance, and hiding all while using lower amounts of titanium dioxide are described herein. In one aspect, the heat-age stable compositions include an acrylic, styrene acrylic, vinyl acrylic copolymer or blends thereof including, as additional polymerizable units, at least one polymerizable phosphate surfactant and at least one linear or branched hydrophobic monomer that are both polymerized into the acrylic, styrene acrylic, vinyl acrylic copolymer backbone.

Abstract: A resin composition comprising an interpenetrating polymer network comprising: (a) 5 to 95 weight percent of a polyurethane prepolymer; (b) 5 to 95 weight percent of a waterborne polymer component; and (c) optionally, a chain extender or crosslinker; wherein either the polyurethane prepolymer has at least one functional group that is photopolymerizable or the waterborne polymer component has at least one functional group that is photopolymerizable; or wherein both the polyurethane prepolymer and waterborne polymer component have at least one functional group that is photopolymerizable.

Abstract: A self-polishing anti-fouling marine coating composition that is free of heavy metal biocides. The coating composition comprises a polymer binder comprising a film forming polymer having a hydrolysable functional group on the polymer backbone; and a blend of at least two biocidally active materials, the blend comprising a 2-trihalogenomethyl-3-halogeno-4-cyanopyrrole compound and a second biocidally active material.
