C., an acid number of 0-20 and a hydroxyl number of 0-130, and built up of 3-40% by weight of a hydroxyl compound, 2-44% by weight of a carboxylic acid including a cycloaliphatic dicarboxylic acid, and 20-90% by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated fatty acid. Calculated on solid matter, component C forms 5-65% by weight of the binder system. The coating composition is preferably applied to wood.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 1982Date of Patent: May 8, 1984Assignee: Akzo N.V.Inventors: Dirk J. F. Geerdes, Petrus J. C. Nelen

Patent number: 4420575Abstract: An aerosol paint system under sprayable pressures in the container is provided comprising two film-forming polymeric binders. One of the two being monomer modified alkyd resin of relatively low molecular weight having an acid value (before neutralization with selected bases) of about 40 to 80 and the second polymeric binder of water-reducible nature being an emulsion polymer latex of high molecular weight, but capable of forming a continuous film in the total aerosol paint system aided by the monomer modified alkyd and a selection from co-solvents including in a first group low molecular weight alcohols, ketones, and esters and in a second group the co-solvents illustrated by the Cellosolves, Cellosolve acetates and other esters and the Carbitols as to chemical class.Pressures essential to spray application are principally provided by dimethyl ether and closely related ethers as a class.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 1982Date of Patent: December 13, 1983Assignee: Plasti-Kote Company, Inc.Inventors: Stanley Rapaport, Francis J.

Patent number: 4363888Abstract: A process for the preparation of rigid beads, of cross-linked polyester resin which beads may be solid or vesiculated, by forming an oil-in-water or a water-in-oil-in-water emulsion in which the oil phase contains an unsaturated polyester resin and an unsaturated organic monomer to provide said cross-linking and thereafter heating the emulsion to a temperature of at least 45.degree. C. before initiating polymerization of the oil phase by the introduction into the system of a polymerization initiator, and promoter system, if the latter is not already present in the emulsion.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 1981Date of Patent: December 14, 1982Assignee: Tioxide Group LimitedInventors: Geoffrey Willison, John C.

Patent number: 4338233Abstract: An aqueous sizing composition, method of preparing same and sized glass fibers are provided that enables the production of sized glass fibers having improved filamentization. The aqueous sizing composition has one or more cross-linkable film formers, one or more organo silane coupling agents and about 2 to about 12 weight percent of an interaction product of an unhydrolyzed or partially hydrolyzed amino organo silane coupling agent and an epoxidized polar thermoplastic copolymer. The epoxy copolymer has about 2 to about 12 parts of monomer with epoxy functionality per 100 parts of copolymer. Also the epoxy copolymer has a glass transition temperature (Tg) of from -10.degree. C. to about 70.degree. C. The unhydrolyzed or partially hydrolyzed amino silane coupling agent is contacted with the epoxidized copolymer, where the copolymer has a percent solids in the range of about 15 to about 60 weight percent.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 1981Date of Patent: July 6, 1982Assignee: PPG Industries, Inc.Inventors: Balbhadra Das, L.

Patent number: 4338234Abstract: An aqueous sizing composition, glass fiber strands having the dried residue of the aqueous sizing composition and processes for producing these articles are provided that enable the production of glass fiber reinforced polymeric materials having improved properties. In addition, improvements are obtained in the processability of using glass fiber roving in the production of sheet molding compound, bulk molding compound and thick molding compound. The sizing composition, sized glass fiber strands, processes, reinforced polymeric materials and improvements of this invention emanate from the use of epoxidized polar thermoplastic copolymers in aqueous sizing compositions that are substantially insoluble in the matrix polymer. The aqueous sizing composition has one or more cross-linkable film formers, one or more organosilane coupling agents and about 3 to about 12 weight percent of the aqueous sizing composition of the epoxidized polar thermoplastic copolymer.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 1980Date of Patent: July 6, 1982Assignee: PPG Industries, Inc.Inventors: L. Dow Moore, Balbhadra Das

Patent number: 4321332Abstract: This invention relates to a process of preparing aqueous slurries of vesiculated granules of crosslinked polyester resin wherein the granules have a maximum shrinkage on drying of 5% of the granule diameter. Previously-known processes for the preparation of granules of this type have utilized polyamines; this has led to odor and color problems. These problems may be eliminated or substantially reduced by the use of bases which are metal oxides, hydroxides or salts wherein the metal cation is selected from Ca, Mg, Ba, Ti, Zn, Pb, Sr and Co and, when a metal salt is used, the pKa value of the conjugate acid of the anion is greater than 2. The resulting granules are useful at matting and opacifying agents in, for example, paint compositions.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 1980Date of Patent: March 23, 1982Inventors: Michael P. Beresford, Willy Braun
