The invention provides an aqueous fluoropolymer dispersion comprising particles of a fluoropolymer as dispersed in an aqueous medium wherein a fluorinated surfactant (A) having a molecular weight lower than 1000 amounts to not higher than 100 ppm of the mass of the fluoropolymer, the aqueous fluoropolymer dispersion containing an anionic surfactant (B) other than the fluorinated surfactant (A) as well as a water-soluble polymer (C).Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2011Publication date: June 16, 2011Applicant: DAIKIN INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Chie SAWAUCHI, Nobuhiko TSUDA, Wade Martin SIMPSON

Publication number: 20110112223Abstract: The invention relates to colorant compositions, and aqueous latex paints or other water-borne coatings made from them, which have a mitigated environmental impact. Levels of solvents, additives and impurities comprising volatile non-aqueous constituents, alkylphenol ethoxylates (and derivatives thereof), crystalline silica, and/or formaldehyde are decreased relative to those typical of preceding generations of colorants and tinted aqueous latex paints and other water-borne coatings. On the other hand, paint-performance as indicated by any of Stormer viscosity stabilization, rheological profile flow/leveling and sag resistance, water sensitivity and color transfer resistance is comparable to a paint in which the aforementioned solvents, additives and impurities are still present.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2010Publication date: May 12, 2011Applicant: Columbia Insurance CompanyInventors: Yong Yang, Mohammed Asif, Robert J. Sheerin
