Patent number: 9593195Abstract: Coating compositions can be prepared from an acrylic grafted polyether resin, wherein the smallest difunctional hydroxyl phenyl segment used to form the acrylic grafted polyether resin has a molecular weight greater than about 500, and wherein the smallest difunctional hydroxyl phenyl segment used to form the acrylic grafted polyether resin does not comprise two or more non-impaired hydroxyl groups attached to two or more different five-membered or six-membered carbon atom rings in a segment having a molecular weight less than about 500. The acrylic grafted polyether resin can be prepared by reacting a dihydroxyl compound and/or a diamine compound with a phenol stearic acid compound to produce a diphenol, reacting the diphenol with a diglycidyl ether compound to form a polyether resin, and mixing the polyether resin with an ethylenically unsaturated monomer component in the presence of an initiator to form the acrylic grafted polyether resin.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2014Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignees: AKZO NOBEL COATINGS INTERNATIONAL B.V., SI GROUP, INC.Inventors: Gary Pierce Craun, Daniel Bode, Timothy Edward Banach, Gary Joseph Robideau, Leigh Scott Howard

Publication number: 20170065030Abstract: A wiping device may be a friable layer or an absorbent pad made of a material that can absorb and retain a fluid composition and can be attached or is attached to an item of clothing, such as a sock, shoe, compression sleeve, etc. The device is impregnated with an adhesive-type tacky substance that is released when a shoe sole is wiped against it to clean the shoe sole and allow surface dust and debris to be removed from the shoe sole. The deposited substance also forms a film or coating that remains adhered to the surface of the shoe sole to improve traction by imparting tackiness to the shoe sole.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2016Publication date: March 9, 2017Inventors: Mark French, Lucas James Tucker, Timothy Edward Banach

Patent number: 9578923Abstract: An athletic shoe coating for traction enhancement includes a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) and a tackyfying resin and a film former initially in solution within a solvent suitable for application to the surface of a shoe sole in liquid form, such as by spraying, rolling and brushing the solution onto the shoe sole. After the solvent evaporates a film or coating attaches or is bonded to the shoe sole that exhibits the property of dynamically modifying the traction properties of the shoe sole when pressure and shear forces are applied to the coating. Such modification causes the exterior surface of the film or coating to “refresh” the exposed surface upon impact. This imparts continued tackiness over extended use. Impact modifiers may be added for controlled release of a solvent to temporarily dissolve or soften the film or coating to promote such refreshment of the coating outer surface.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2011Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: Mission Product Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Mark French, Lucas James Tucker, Timothy Edward Banach
