International Classification:

G01J003/42

US Classification:

356319000

Abstract:

The invention relates to a method of producing color pastes, in which a component comprising colorant particles is dispersed in a binder. In the method of the invention the dispersing operation is controlled by beaming excitational light of a defined wavelength range into a mixture of the component comprising colorant particles and the binder, detecting the light transmitted, reflected and/or scattered by the mixture and determining a sample spectrum, evaluating the sample spectrum and hence determining parameters of the color paste, and monitoring changes in the sample spectrum over time and terminating the dispersing operation when predetermined target parameters are attained.

Assignee:

BASF Corporation - Southfield MI

International Classification:

C08L 7102

US Classification:

525187

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to a pigment dispersant for use in coating compositions. The dispersant is the reaction product of a functionalized copolymer, a polyalkylene glycol monoalkyl compound to impart water soluble character to the copolymer, and a compound having a pigment interactive substituent including hydrazine derivatives and oxime containing compounds.

Appl. No.:

Jeffrey S. DePue - Urbana IL
Zenon P. Czornij - Warren MI
Clint W. Carpenter - Royal Oak MI
Lynne G. Bemer - Northville MI

Assignee:

BASF Corporation - Southfield MI

International Classification:

C08F 830

US Classification:

525123

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to a pigment dispersant composition for use with inorganic pigments in coating compositions. The dispersant composition includes a vinyl or acrylic copolymer and a transition metal or rare earth metal salt. The metal salt in combination with the copolymer is useful with inorganic pigment as it lowers the viscosity of the pigment dispersions, thus allowing a higher concentration of pigment in the dispersion and consequently providing dispersions with higher non-volatile content and higher pigment to binder ratios. The presence of the metal salts in the dispersant composition when used with surface coated metal flake pigment provides excellent corrosion reduction of the metal pigment, indicated by the reduction or elimination of hydrogen gassing by the pigment in a coating composition.
