Patent number: 7897688Abstract: The invention relates to compounds embodying amino group-terminal viscosifiers, the resultant products thereof, and the uses thereof. The inventive viscosifiers are provided with formula (I), wherein R1 represents a divalent radical of a carboxyl group-terminal butadiene/acrylonitrile copolymer after removing the terminal carboxyl groups. The disclosed compounds increase the viscosity of the compositions formulated therewith. Compounds containing glycidyl groups are particularly important as resultant products thereof which can be used in thermosetting single-component epoxy resin adhesives.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2006Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: Sika Technology AGInventors: Ulrich Gerber, Juergen Finter

Patent number: 7875672Abstract: Two component (2K) waterborne polyurethane coating compositions which when cured achieve excellent anti-graffiti properties at low VOC level (below 100 g/L) are disclosed. The composition comprises (A) a fluorinated polyol and optionally a non-fluorinated polyol; and (B), a blend of polyisocyanates comprising a hydrophilically modified trimer of hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDT) and a hydrophilic ally modified trimer of isophorone diisocyanate (IPDT). The glass transition temperature of the ambient cured coatings, crosslinked network structure, and fluorine content at the surface enable excellent anti-graffiti properties. The waterborn coatings of the invention have excellent recoatability and exceptional chemical resistance.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2008Date of Patent: January 25, 2011Assignee: Perstorp FranceInventors: Xiaodong Wu, Richard P. Rosen
