  • Protective films and related methods
    Patent number: 9723940
    Abstract: A protective film includes a base layer and a wear layer, the wear layer comprising a UV cured hardcoat resin, and the UV cured hardcoat resin comprising surface modified silica nanoparticles. The protective film may comprise a pressure sensitive adhesive for adhesion to a floor. The protective film may be used, for example, as a protective floor finish.

  • Floor finish composition
    Patent number: 6727309
    Abstract: One aspect of the present invention provides an aqueous surface finish composition comprising a film-forming, reversibly crosslinked, emulsion-based polymer composition, and a surface modified inorganic particle material. The surface modified inorganic particle material is dispersed within the emulsion-based polymer composition, and enhances performance characteristics of a resultant film including hardness, modulus, as well as scratch and soil resistance. The floor finish composition is shelf stable and is particularly well suited for application to floor surfaces, but also to other substrate surfaces such as walls and bathroom surfaces.
