Patent number: 8399099Abstract: The present invention relates to cationically and radically curable coating compositions for coating a surface. The coating compositions consist essentially of a radically or cationically curable monomer, and a metal salt. The metal salt is chosen so that it is reduced at the surface to be coated, and where the standard reduction potential of the metal salt is greater than the standard reduction potential of the surface, and where when the composition is placed in contact with the surface, the metal salt of the composition is reduced at the surface, thereby initiating cure of the curable component in the compositions. Redox mediated cure of the coating compositions results in a coating or film on the surface. The invention also provides for functionalization of surfaces. Cross-linking of the coating occurs directly on the surface.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2009Date of Patent: March 19, 2013Assignee: Henkel Ireland LimitedInventors: David Farrell, Ciaran B.

Patent number: 7846996Abstract: New polymer concentrates on the basis of polymer additives, like e.g. fillers and flame-retardants, are provided which have in particular an increased bulk density compared to the polymer additives as such. This increased bulk density leads to a substantial improvement in the processability of such concentrates, their dispersibility during compounding and the properties of the resulting polymer compound. Processing improvements include less dust, faster processing and more homogeneous additive dispersion. The invention also provides a process for preparing such new polymer concentrates, a process for preparing polymer compounds containing the new polymer concentrates, the respective polymer compounds and a process for preparing formed parts thereof. Such formed parts have more uniform properties such as density, wall thickness, and in case of the flame-retardants more homogeneous and consistent flame retardancy.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2006Date of Patent: December 7, 2010Assignee: LANXESS Deutschland GmbHInventors: Stephen Pask, Andre Damman, Stephan Schroeder
