The invention is also a method of reducing dust released from an agricultural product that includes the step of providing a coating composition comprising at least 10% of a renewable sourced and biodegradable sugar ester. Enough of the coating composition is added to the agricultural product to reduce the amount of dust released from the agricultural product by at least half.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2019Publication date: April 2, 2020Applicant: Renuvix LLCInventors: Larry Goldstein, Melissa C.

Publication number: 20200102460Abstract: A free-flowing dry mix of various chemical components can be applied in its dried form, as is contemplated by typical powder coating operations, as well as dispersed within a liquid carrier and applied in liquid form. When liquefied, this bifunctional composition retains similar viscosity to liquid coatings, while simultaneously avoiding any reaction with or degradation by the liquid carrier. The liquefied powder is preferable to existing liquid coatings because it avoids the use of any volatile organic compounds or other solvents, whereas the final, cured coating produced by these bifunctional compositions are indistinguishable regardless of whether they are applied in dry or liquefied form.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2019Publication date: April 2, 2020Inventors: Joseph H. James, Sanjana Das
