  • Method for providing a gloss coated cementitious substrate
    Publication number: 20020022688
    Abstract: The method of the present invention provides a coated cementitious substrate with a glossy appearance, dirt pick-up resistance, and efflorescence resistance. The method includes the steps of applying a coating formulation onto a green cementitious substrate and of curing the coated green cementitious substrate. The coating formulation contains an emulsion polymer with a molecular weight in the range of 30,000 to 300,000 and a glass transition temperature in the range of −10° C. to 60° C. Also provided are an emulsion polymer including a photoinitiator monomer as polymerized unit, a coating formulation including photoinitiator molecule, and a coating formulation including an ethylenically unsaturated polymer.

  • Aqueous polish compositions containing acid-amine latexes
    Patent number: 6319977
    Abstract: Disclosed is the use of film-forming acid-amine latexes in aqueous polish compositions whereby the resulting film is durable, tough, and resistant to detergent, but amine-strippable. Such polish compositions are metal-free and contain relatively low levels of volatile organic compounds.

  • Aqueous polish compositions containing acid-amine latexes
    Patent number: 5869581
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for preparing an acid- and amine-functional polymer under conditions of free-radical initiated addition polymerization. The method involves copolymerizing an anhydride monomer with an ethylenically unsaturated monomer to produce an anhydride polymer, followed by addition of base thereto, followed immediately by addition of a diamine, and allowing the components to react. The preferred medium is aqueous. Also disclosed is an acid- and amine-functional polymer formed by the free-radical initiated addition polymerization process described herein.

  • Silane-modified floor finish vehicles
    Patent number: 5428107
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the preparation of emulsion polymers bearing reactive functional groups which are post-reacted with an amino silane to promote crosslinking during film formation.Polymers of the present invention are particularly useful in polish and coating compositions where detergent resistance and removability are required.
