  • Patent number: 11926967
    Abstract: The present invention provides water-based coatings that provide liquid resistance when applied to various substrates. In some embodiments, more than one layer of coatings can be applied, using multiple coating stations. The coatings are particularly suitable for cellulosic substrates such as paper or paper board. In addition to liquid resistance, the coatings have good heat sealability, and are resistant to roll blocking. Preferably, the coatings are recyclable and/or repulpable with the substrates to which they are applied. The coating compositions comprise one or more polymer binders, and one or more particles. Preferably, at least one polymer binder has a glass transition temperature (Tg) less than 10° C. Preferably, at least one polymer binder has a heat seal onset temperature of less than 200° C. Preferably, at least one particle has a mean particle size greater than 4 ?m. It is also preferable that the particles have a melting point greater than 60° C.

  • Patent number: 11242461
    Abstract: Described herein are coatings which impart oil, grease, and water resistance to various materials, such as paper, paperboard and polymeric materials. Such coatings may be applied as barrier coatings to the substrate materials in order to inhibit and prevent the transmission of oil, grease and water; that is, to prevent oil, water grease from passing into and/or through the substrate material. The coatings include an acrylic-based polymer latex, a styrene-butadiene rubber latex, a styrene-acrylic resin solution, a large particle size wax, and optionally, a small particle size wax. Also disclosed herein is a process of preparing the coatings. Also disclosed are products to which the coatings have been applied in order to impart oil, grease and/or water resistance, and processes for preparing such products.

  • Publication number: 20210130642
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are water-based coatings that include an aqueous self-crosslinking system that includes water and an acrylate resin, and a silane adhesion promoter selected from at least one amino-functional silane and at least one oxysilane selected from a mono-, di-, tri-, and tetra-functional oxysilane. After the water-based coatings are applied to a substrate and cured, they form decorative and protective coatings (an exemplary substrate is glass). The coatings may provide a wide range of color finishes with superior chemical and mechanical resistance.
