  • Patent number: 11549032
    Abstract: The present invention is a water dispersible copolymer for scavenging formaldehyde, the copolymer being based on acrylic copolymer comprising one or more acetoacetyl functional groups and one or more hydrophilic groups chemically bonded to its molecular backbone, wherein the acrylic copolymer has a number average molecular weight of 2000-100,000 g/mol; and wherein the acrylic copolymer comprises between 10 wt % and 30 wt % of the acetoacetyl functional groups relative to the weight of the acrylic copolymer. The present invention also refers to an aqueous dispersion containing said water dispersible copolymer, as well as an article coated by a coating comprising the aqueous dispersion.

  • Publication number: 20220064479
    Abstract: The present application is directed to a two-component waterborne polyurethane coating composition including: a film-forming resin composition, comprising an aqueous dispersion of hydroxyl acrylic polymer particles with a core-shell structure; and a polyisocyanate crosslinker, wherein the hydroxyl acrylic polymer particles with a core-shell structure includes a shell formed by a copolymer A and an inner core formed by a copolymer B; and wherein the copolymer A has a glass transition temperature ranging from ?20° C. to 60° C., the copolymer B has a glass transition temperature ranging from 20° C. to 100° C., and the hydroxyl acrylic polymer particles with a core-shell structure have a glass transition temperature ranging from 10° C. to 90° C. The present application also relates to a low gloss coating formed by the two-component waterborne polyurethane coating composition.

  • Patent number: 10676638
    Abstract: A curable resin composition includes an acetoacetyl functional unsaturated polyester with a branched molecular skeleton containing olefinically unsaturated functional groups therein and acetoacetyl functional groups chemically bonded to the branched molecular skeleton. The acetoacetyl functional unsaturated polyester contains at least 2 wt % of the olefinically unsaturated functional groups, relative to the total weight of the acetoacetyl functional unsaturated polyester, and at least 20 wt % of the acetoacetyl functional groups, relative to the total weight of the acetoacetyl functional unsaturated polyester. The curable resin composition can be used to formulate coating compositions.
