  • Patent number: 5270354
    Abstract: Method of making aqueous dispersions of hydrophobic polymer particles loaded with at least one hydrophobic compound, comprising the consecutive steps of dissolving said at least one hydrophobic compound in a water-immiscible organic solvent medium, dispersing the solution obtained in water or in an aqueous medium to form a dispersed phase having an average droplet size lower than 5 .mu.m, mixing the resulting dispersion with a dispersion of hydrophobic polymer particles in water or in an aqueous medium, said hydrophobic polymer particles being swellable in said water-immiscible solvent medium and having an average particle diameter ranging from 0.02 to 5.0 .mu.m, stirring the mixture obtained to allow said hydrophobic compound to associate with said hydrophobic polymer particles, and removing said water-immiscible organic solvent medium by evaporation.

  • Patent number: 4963600
    Abstract: A method for minimizing the inherent yellowness of any kind of clear coating is disclosed. This method involves the addition of very small amounts of blue pigments or dyes to the clear coating so that chroma neutralization occurs. The chroma neutralization results in a clear coat which is crystal clear in appearance.

  • Patent number: 4746684
    Abstract: A polyurethane dispersion contains (A) an organic solvent, (B) a polyurethane resin having a molecular weight of 20,000-500,000, and (C) fine particles obtained from an active-hydrogen containing polyfunctional compound, which contains functional groups having a molecular weight of 50 or smaller per functional group, and an organic polyisocyanate. The dispersion can be converted into an emulsion by emulsifying water therein. A sheet-like porous material is also obtained by impregnating and/or coating a base material with the emulsion, causing the thus-coated emulsion to gel and then drying the resultant base material. The dispersion has excellent stability. The emulsion can be gelatinized at a relatively high temperature in a rather short period time, thereby permitting efficient production of the sheet-like porous material. The sheet-like material has a very fine porous structure, is excellent in various properties and has superb water vapor transmission characteristics.
