Patent number: 6841590Abstract: Solid, solvent-free inks are provided for use in hot melt flexographic printing. The ink is composed of a pigment; a thermoplastic binder which is an ethylene copolymer, a hydrocarbon resin, or a combination thereof; a wax which is a highly branched hydrocarbon wax, a polyethylene homopolymer wax, an oxidized polyethylene wax, an animal wax, a vegetable wax or combinations thereof; a solid linear alcohol; and, a dispersing agent. The ink may also contain a solid plasticizer. The solid ink has a melting point of about 75° C. or greater, and when heated to a temperature between about 90° C. and about 135° C., a molten ink is formed which has a viscosity between about 100 cps and about 1200 cps. The solid inks are used in melt flexographic printing by heating the ink to a temperature greater than about 90° C.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2001Date of Patent: January 11, 2005Assignee: Sun Chemical CorporationInventors: Jitendra Modi, Edward Stone, Ana Marie Flores, Robert Catena, Robert Auerbach

Patent number: 6822030Abstract: Continuous coatings including floor finishes can be prepared using novel two part compositions and methods. The two part compositions comprise a solid particulate polymer part and a liquid coalescing agent part. A novel method of the invention involves contacting the coalescing agent with the polymer in a variety of coating methods including applying the polymer to the coalescing agent, applying the coalescing agent to the polymer or applying the coalescing agent and polymer simultaneously. The polymer and coalescing agent interact to form a continuous coating layer or finish layer.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2003Date of Patent: November 23, 2004Assignee: Ecolab Inc.Inventors: Keith E. Olson, Bryan M. Anderson, Robert D. P. Hei

Patent number: 6818597Abstract: Liquid water soluble polymer suspensions in non-aqueous solvents are extremely stable over long periods of time with minimum separation of the solvent and no hard packing of the dispersed water soluble polymer. The suspensions enable a user to rapidly add the suspension to water, being mixed at low speeds, without the formation of lumps or fisheyes and without generating fugitive dust in the process. The suspensions are environmentally safe and biodegradable. Unlike many other liquid polymer suspensions, the suspensions exhibit minimal oil or grease upon dilution. They contain no surfactants that can add to the oil and grease determination. The suspensions and the fluids produced by diluting the fluids to a working concentration of the water soluble polymer exhibit low toxicity to marine organisms and to humans. The suspensions can be manufactured from ingredients suitable for use in personal care applications such as cosmetics, shampoos and the like.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2001Date of Patent: November 16, 2004Assignee: Benchmark Research & Technology, Inc.Inventor: William Franklin Harris

Patent number: 6809142Abstract: The invention relates to a pressure sensitive sealant composition for sealing a clearance between a lamp unit housing and a vehicle body panel of an automotive vehicle. The pressure sensitive sealant composition includes (a) 10-40 wt % of a component A that is at least one copolymer selected from the group consisting of hydrogenated styrene-butadiene copolymers, hydrogenated styrene-isoprene copolymers, and modified copolymers thereof; (b) a component B that is at least one tackifier selected from the group consisting of petroleum resins, terpene resins, rosin resins, coumarone-indene resins, hydrogenated resins thereof, and modified resins thereof, and (c) a component C that is a hydrocarbonic plasticizer. The pressure sensitive sealant composition is prepared by maxing together 100 parts by weight of the component A, 20-60 parts by weight of said component B, and 150-400 parts by weight of said component C.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 1999Date of Patent: October 26, 2004Assignees: Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hidekazu Takeyama, Tomohiro Kawasaki, Masahiko Ohnishi, Minoru Matano, Akira Ozaki, Katsuyuki Arima
