Patent number: 5399611Abstract: This invention relates to novel hydroxy-functional polyester diluents, and more particularly, to acrylic-modified hydroxy-functional polyester reactive diluents useful for blending with a variety of thermosetting or thermoplastic film-forming polymers. More specifically, the hydroxy-functional polyester reactive diluents are essentially low molecular weight polyesters derived from triols, and a combination of unsaturated monocarboxylic acids and saturated monocarboxylic acids. These hydroxy-functional polyester diluents may be copolymerized with one or more acrylic monomers, i.e. hydroxy-functional acrylic monomers, and blended with a variety of thermosetting or thermoplastic film-forming polymers. These blends of the film-forming polymers and the hydroxy-functional polyester diluents can be crosslinked with conventional crosslinking agents such as isocyanates and used in the formulation of low VOC paint compositions particularly useful as automotive topcoats.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 1993Date of Patent: March 21, 1995Assignee: The Sherwin-Williams CompanyInventor: John Mathai

Patent number: 5326516Abstract: This invention relates to a process for preparing a pigmented thermoplastic polymer composition which is useful as a low profile additive composition for thermosetting resins. The process includes the steps of(A) selecting at least on thermoplastic polymer having a refractive index which is within about 0.06 units of the refractive index of the thermosetting resin;(B) preparing a mixture of said thermoplastic polymer and at least one color pigment, dye or mixture thereof under high shear in a high-intensity mixer; and(C) forming a slurry containing said mixture obtained in step (B) in at least one liquid copolymerizable monomer containing at least one CH.sub.2 .dbd.C<group. In a preferred embodiment, at least one surfactant is included in the slurry obtained in step (C) in an amount sufficient to enhance the uniformity of the pigmentation of a cured composite produced from the thermosetting resin composition and a low profile additive composition.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 1993Date of Patent: July 5, 1994Assignee: Plasticolors, Inc.Inventor: Selby M. Brannon

Patent number: 5324350Abstract: Cyclopentadiene-modified alkyd resins obtained by reaction of naturally occurring, unsaturated fatty acid esters with cyclopentadiene compounds under pressure, transesterification of the resulting adducts with polyols which contain at least three hydroxyl groups, and esterification with aromatic or cycloaliphatic polycarboxylic acids or anhydrides thereof. These resins are employed in the preparation of printing inks for offset printing. The novel resins impart an improved gloss to these printing inks.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 1993Date of Patent: June 28, 1994Assignee: Hoechst AktiengesellschaftInventors: Albert Bender, Lothar Bothe, Gerhard Werner

Patent number: 5254642Abstract: The present invention is based on the unexpected discovery that the low profile additives (LPA) disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,116,917 provide effective shrinkage control when used with various blends of vinyl ester and polyester resin systems. This LPA is unique in that its low profile efficiency is not affected by the different reactivities displayed by blends of vinyl ester resin and polyester resin at different blend ratios. This LPA is equally effective in formulations of all vinyl ester resin, all polyester resin, or any combination of such two resins. The present invention, then, is directed to a thermosettable resinous composition of between about 0 and 95 wt-% of a thermosettable vinyl ester resin; between about 5 and 100 wt-% of a thermosettable polyester resin; and between about 5 and 40 wt-% of a low profile additive comprising a non-gelling, saturated polyester formed from dibasic acid and an EO/PO block copolymer having an EO/PO molar ratio ranging from about 0.1 to 0.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 1992Date of Patent: October 19, 1993Assignee: Ashland Oil, Inc.Inventors: Ken K. Chang, Timothy A. Tufts
