International Classification:

C09D 7/12
C09D 133/00

Abstract:

The present invention is a composition comprising a stable aqueous dispersion of polymer particles and a sorbate ester, which is a liquid at 20 C. and has a molecular weight in the range of 125 to 500 g/mol. The composition of the present invention provides a way to enhance film formation of coatings prepared using relatively high Tlatexes without the aid of high volatile organic content (VOC) coalescents.

International Classification:

C09D 7/12
C09D 5/00

Abstract:

The present invention is a composition comprising a solution or a dispersion of polymer particles, a sorbate ester or sorbamide curing agent, and a cure modulating additive for the curing agent. The curing agent is a sorbic acid ester or a sorbamide and the cure modulating agent is a reagent capable of accelerating or attenuating the rate of cure of the curing agent. The control of cure kinetics is important for speeding up cure rates where rates are too slow or by reducing cure rates where curing too rapidly results in undesirable color formation.

International Classification:

C09D 133/04

Abstract:

The present invention is a method comprising the steps of a) applying a composition comprising a curing agent and a cure modulating additive to a substrate; and b) allowing the composition to cure. The curing agent is a sorbic acid ester or a sorbamide and the cure modulating agent is a reagent capable of modulating the rate of cure of the curing agent.
