[0001] Related Applications

[0001] This application claims priority to and incorporates by reference herein U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 351,025, filed on June 10, 2022, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 405,544, filed on September 12, 2022.

Background Art

[0002]

[0002] The storage of water-based materials continues to be complicated by regulations that prohibit or limit the use of certain active ingredients. For some of the widely used active ingredients, there are labeling implications at effective use levels. For this reason, there is a great need in the industry for ways to improve the activity of preservatives in cans at "label-free" levels.

[0003]

[0003] Partially due to regulations on the incorporation of preservatives and labeling implications, many coating manufacturers in the European Union are currently regulated by the Biocidal Products Authority (BPR) and are producing biocide-free paints. These biocide-free paints are produced by setting the pH to about 11, which is generally considered to limit the growth of microorganisms. However, while the paints are biocide-free, they are not without problems. For example, high pH can be irritating, limit the use of many commonly used paint additives, and significant levels of alkaliphilic bacteria that grow actively in the paint have been detected.

[0004]

[0004] Typical usage levels of BIT during coating are 200 - 500 ppm. Due to the weaknesses of BIT (e.g., effectiveness against Pseudomonas), the active substance is usually combined with additional biocidal components. However, since regulatory authorities continue to limit the usage levels of additional biocidal components as well as BIT, "remaining" components such as BIT have to be the mainstay of the preservative at low levels. Combining a single active preservative at low usage levels can cause the development of resistance to biocides in the plant environment and can also cause major spoilage problems that are difficult to improve in the industrial environment.

[0005]

[0005] Even in regions where the allowable usage levels of active substances are wider and do not have label indication suggestions beyond the limits set by regulatory authorities, manufacturers may struggle to achieve excellent preservation at reasonable usage costs.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006]

[0006] For these reasons, there is a strong need to provide the industry with multifunctional boosters to simultaneously improve the activity of active ingredients, improve the overall preservation quality, or enable preservation at a level that can meet the "label-free" requirements in certain regions. Furthermore, due to the multifunctionality of the components, it is possible to simultaneously achieve a reduction in the functions provided by a number of other additives (e.g., dispersants, defoamers, rheology modifiers, surfactants, pH adjusters) and a reduction in SKUs.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] This disclosure generally relates to a multifunctional booster composition comprising a polyetheramine and at least one additive including an inorganic metal compound, a silicate, a pyrithione salt, and an organic amine, wherein, in the formula, R1 is H or C1-C9 alkyl, each of R2, R3, and R4 is independently H or CH3, and each of x, y, and z is independently 1-10. According to the present disclosure, the weight ratio of the polyetheramine to the additive is about 1:5 to about 100:1.

According to the present disclosure, the weight ratio of the polyetheramine to the additive is from about 1:5 to about 100:1.

[0014]

[0030] Surprisingly, the polyetheramine, alone or in combination with additional components, acts as a multifunctional booster to boost the activity of the preservative in the can and at the same time provide other benefits to coating properties (e.g., rheology, pH stabilization, color acceptance, or combinations thereof).

[0015]

[0031] The degrees of polymerization (x, y, and z) of formula I are independently 1-10. The degrees of polymerization x, y, and z may in some cases be the same or different. For example, x may be 1, y may be 2, and z may be 3. In another example, z, y, and z may each be 2. In one embodiment, the total degree of polymerization (e.g., the sum of the x, y, and z values) is 5 or more, such as 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10. In one embodiment, the sum of the x, y, and z values is 10 or less.

[0016]

In another embodiment, the weight ratio of polyetheramine to zinc acetate is 2:1.

[0019]

[0035] The combination of the polyetheramine of Formula I and the inorganic zinc compound can boost the activity of the preservative in the can and at the same time act as a multifunctional booster to provide other benefits to coating properties (e.g., rheology, pH stabilization, color acceptance, or combinations thereof) at a concentration of about 0.075 wt% to about 1 wt%, for example, about 0.1 wt% to about 0.75 wt%, for example, about 0.15 wt% to about 0.45 wt%, or any range therebetween.

In another embodiment, the multifunctional booster composition may contain one or both of zinc pyrithione and sodium pyrithione. The pyrithione salt is present in the multifunctional booster composition in an amount of about 0.005 wt% to about 1 wt%, such as about 0.015 wt% to about 0.5 wt%, such as about 0.025 wt% to about 0.25 wt%, or any range therebetween, based on the weight of the composition. For example, the pyrithione salt may be present in the multifunctional booster composition in an amount of about 5 ppm to about 500 ppm, such as about 50 ppm to about 300 ppm, such as about 100 ppm to about 250 ppm, or any range therebetween.

[0026]

[0042] Advantageously, the water-based industrial materials containing the multifunctional booster composition disclosed herein do not contain or are "essentially free of" biocides. In one embodiment, the multifunctional booster composition disclosed herein does not contain biocides such as isothiazolin-3-one. For example, the water-based industrial materials are "essentially free of" 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one ("BIT"), N-(n-butyl)-1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one, 4,5-dichloro-2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one ("DCOIT"), 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, 5-chloro-2-methyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one / 2-methyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one ("CMIT / MIT"), or combinations thereof. However, if necessary, the water-based industrial materials according to the exemplary forms of the present disclosure may contain additional non-isothiazolinone-based biocides. For example, the water-based industrial materials may contain one or more non-isothiazolinone-based biocides, such as methyl benzimidazol-2-yl carbamate ("BCM"), IPBC, 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea ("Diuron"), and / or 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol ("Bronopol"). Additional algaecides that can be used include, but are not limited to, 2-tert-butylamino-4-ethylamino-6-methylthio-1,3,5-triazine ("terbutryn") and 3-(4-isopropylphenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea ("isoproturon").

[0027]

[0043] Other examples of non-isothiazolinone biocides are tetraalkylphosphonium halides, guanidine derivatives, compounds containing imidazole such as 4-[1-(2,3-dimethylphenyl)ethyl]-1H-imidazole [medetomidine] and derivatives, avermectin and its derivatives such as ivermectin, or macrocyclic lactones such as spinosin and its derivatives such as spinosad, or enzymes such as oxidase, or enzymes that are proteolytic, hemicellulolytic, cellulolytic, lipolytic, or amylolytically active.

[0028]

[0044] For all biocides present in the multifunctional booster compositions disclosed herein, it is expected to be advantageous to be present in the form of relatively fine particles, for example, particles having a particle size of 5 to 75 micrometers. Desired particle sizes can be achieved using conventional techniques such as grinding, milling, sieving, etc. The biocidal agent is present in the multifunctional booster composition in an amount of about 0.001 wt% to about 1 wt%, for example about 0.015 wt% to about 0.85 wt%, for example about 0.25 wt% to about 0.5 wt%, or any range therebetween, based on the weight of the composition.

[0029]

[0045] Optionally, the multifunctional booster compositions of the present disclosure may utilize one or more surfactants. The surfactant functions as an emulsifier and helps to maintain the water-insoluble components of the formulation in the form of a stable dispersion (emulsion) of small particles suspended in the aqueous phase.

[0030]

[0046] Suitable types of nonionic surfactants include, but are not limited to, polyoxyalkylene glycol alkyl ethers (e.g., polyoxyethylene glycol alkyl ethers, polyoxypropylene alkyl ethers, polyoxyethylene / propylene alkyl ethers), glucoside alkyl ethers, polyoxyalkylene glycol alkylphenol ethers (e.g., polyoxyethylene glycol alkylphenol ethers, polyoxypropylene glycol alkylphenol ethers, polyoxyethylene / propylene glycol alkylphenol ethers), glycerol alkyl esters, polyoxyalkylene glycol sorbitan alkyl esters (e.g., polyoxyethylene glycol sorbitan alkyl esters), sorbitan alkyl esters, cocamide MEA, cocamide DEA, block copolymers of polyethylene glycol and polypropylene glycol (poloxamers), polyalkoxylated tallow amines, alkoxylated fatty acids, etc., and combinations thereof.

[0031]

[0047] Examples of specific nonionic surfactants include alkoxylated aliphatic monoalcohols and alkoxylated aromatic monoalcohols. Such surfactants are typically prepared by reacting one or more alkylene oxides (e.g., ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, a mixture of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide) with one or more monoalcohols (e.g., an aliphatic alcohol, which may be, for example, linear or branched, primary or secondary, or an aromatic alcohol, such as a phenol like an alkyl- and aralkyl-substituted phenol). The number of moles of alkylene oxide reacted per mole of monoalcohol may vary as desired, but is typically on average from about 2 to about 50. When more than one type of alkylene oxide is used, the alkylene oxides may be reacted as a mixture (to provide polyoxyalkylene segments having a random copolymer structure) or sequentially (to provide polyoxyalkylene segments having a block copolymer structure).

[0032]

[0048] Another type of nonionic surfactant for use in the present disclosure is an alkoxylated aliphatic monoalcohol that is ethoxylated C 10 ~C 18 aliphatic alcohol (specifically, a linear primary C 12 ~C 16 aliphatic alcohol (or a mixture of such alcohols)) that has been reacted with about 6 to about 15 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of aliphatic alcohol to provide an alkoxylated alcohol containing on average about 6 to about 15 oxyethylene repeat units per molecule. For example, the alkoxylated aliphatic monoalcohol may be an ethoxylated C 12 ~C 16 linear aliphatic alcohol containing on average about 8 to about 12 ethylene oxide units per molecule. Specifically, ethoxylated tridecanol containing on average about 10 ethylene oxide units is suitable for use in the present disclosure.

[0033]

[0049] Another type of nonionic surfactant for use in the present disclosure is an alkoxylated C2-C8 aliphatic alcohol containing both ethylene oxide units and propylene oxide units. The C2-C8 aliphatic alcohol may be, for example, n-butanol. The ethylene oxide and propylene units may be arranged in a block manner (e.g., the surfactant may contain polyoxyethylene blocks and polyoxypropylene blocks). Also suitable for use as a nonionic surfactant are alkoxylated phenols, specifically ethoxylated phenols, where the phenol may be substituted with one or more alkyl groups (specifically, long-chain alkyl groups such as nonyl or dodecyl groups, or aralkyl groups as in the case of tristyrylphenol).

[0034]

[0050] Suitable anionic surfactants include, but are not limited to, surfactants containing anionic functional groups such as sulfate groups, sulfonic acid groups, phosphoric acid groups, and carboxylic acid groups in their heads. The cationic counterions for the anionic functional groups may be, for example, alkali metals (e.g., Na, K) or amine (ammonium) cations, such as quaternary ammonium.Useful types of anionic surfactants in the present disclosure include, but are not limited to, alkyl sulfates, alkyl ether sulfates, sulfated alkanolamides, sulfated glycerides, alkyl aryl sulfonates (including linear alkylbenzene sulfonates, branched alkylbenzene sulfonates, alkyl naphthalene-sulfonates), alpha olefin sulfonates, lignosulfonates, sulfocarboxylic acid compounds (e.g., sodium lauryl sulfacetate, sulfosuccinates (including dialkyl sulfosuccinates), sulfophthalates, organo phosphored surfactants, sacrosides, hydroxyalkane sulfonates, alkane sulfonates, alkylphenoxy polyoxyethylene propyl sulfonates, salts of polyoxyethylene alkyl sulfophenyl ethers, sodium N-methyl-N-oleoyl taurate, disodium N-alkyl sulfosuccinamate monoamide, petroleum sulfonates, sulfated castor oil, sulfated tallow oil, salts of sulfuric esters of aliphatic alkyl esters, salts of alkyl sulfates, salts of alkyl sulfates, sulfuric esters of polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, salts of sulfuric esters of aliphatic monoglycerides, sodium salts of monosulfated monoglycerides of hydrogenated coconut oil fatty acids, salts of sulfuric esters of polyoxyethylene alkyl phenyl ethers, salts of alkyl phosphates, salts of phosphoric esters of polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, salts of phosphoric esters of polyoxyethylene alkyl phenyl ethers, partially saponified compounds of styrene-maleic anhydride copolymers, partially saponified compounds of olefin-maleic anhydride copolymers, naphthalene sulfonate-formalin condensates, higher alkyl sulfacetates, and higher fatty acid esters of 1,2-dihydroxypropane sulfonic acid, and combinations thereof. Among these anionic surfactants, particularly, sulfonate surfactants, specifically salts of alkyl aryl sulfonic acids, especially C8-C. 18 Salts of alkylbenzene sulfonic acids, such as salts of dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid, and combinations thereof are included.

[0035]

[0051] To provide a physically stable dispersion, the total amount of surfactant effective in combination with any thickening agent and / or suspending agent that may be present in the composition is used. The amount of surfactant required to achieve a physically stable dispersion is expected to depend on various factors such as, for example, the type and amount of polyetheramine and thickening agent / suspending agent present, as well as the type of surfactant utilized. However, typically, an amount of surfactant sufficient to provide a weight ratio of polyetheramine:surfactant in the range of about 5:1 to about 50:1 or about 6:1 to about 20:1 is used.

[0036]

[0052] Furthermore, certain surfactants and combinations of surfactants also have the activity of disrupting well-known membranes. This activity is common for some cationic surfactants, but also applies to certain nonionic and ionic surfactants.

[0037]

[0053] Optionally, the multifunctional booster composition of the present disclosure may include one or more substances capable of functioning as a thickening agent or suspending agent to physically stabilize the composition. Specifically, the type and amount of thickening agent and / or suspending agent are selected such that the resulting multifunctional booster composition has a viscosity of at least 300 cps at 25°C. In other embodiments, the viscosity of the multifunctional booster composition at 25°C is at least 400 cps or at least 500 cps. Generally, it is expected to be desirable not to increase the viscosity of the multifunctional booster composition to the point where it becomes difficult to move or handle the multifunctional booster composition by pumping. The viscosity is measured using a Brookfield viscometer (spindle number 5, 100 rpm).

[0038]

[0054] Suitable thickeners / suspending agents include, but are not limited to, clays (including natural clays and organically modified clays), silicates (such as silica like modified silica and fumed silica), polysaccharides (such as gums like xanthan gum, cellulose-based polymers), polyacrylates, etc., and combinations thereof.

[0039]

[0055] In addition to the above, one or more other components may optionally be present in the multifunctional booster composition of the present disclosure. However, in certain embodiments, the multifunctional booster composition consists essentially of or consists only of the foregoing components, optionally with one or more antifoaming agents being present in such embodiments.

[0040]

[0056] Optional additional components include, but are not limited to, dispersants, antifoaming agents (foam suppressants, e.g., silicone-based antifoaming agents, mineral oil-based antifoaming agents, hydrophobic silica-based antifoaming agents), sequestering agents / chelating agents, fillers, colorants, antifreeze agents, corrosion inhibitors (anticorrosion additives), ultraviolet light stabilizers, antioxidants, solvents, cosolvents, scale inhibitors, etc.

[0041]

[0057] The multifunctional booster compositions according to the present disclosure can be prepared by adapting any of the techniques known in the art for making dispersions of water-insoluble substances in water using surfactants (emulsifiers), thickeners, suspending agents, and combinations of these components. For example, water can be placed in a mixing vessel of suitable size, followed by the surfactant that is desired to be included in the multifunctional booster composition. While stirring the surfactant / water mixture, a polyetheramine and a portion of the thickener / suspending agent are added. Mixing at high speed and / or high shear can be continued until a uniform emulsion with the desired particle size (typically 5 to 75 micrometers) is obtained. During this process, the mixture may be heated to a temperature slightly above room temperature. The remaining thickener / suspending agent can then be added and the mixture can be stirred again until uniform. The mixture may be cooled to room temperature prior to the final addition of the thickener / suspending agent. The multifunctional booster composition may then be transferred by pumping or other means to one or more suitable storage containers such as tanks, drums, or small cups.

[0042]

[0058] The multifunctional booster compositions of the present disclosure are useful for imparting resistance to microbial growth, such as the growth of bacteria, fungi, and algae, in various practical compositions, particularly water-based products. Typically, since multifunctional booster compositions containing relatively high concentrations of active ingredients (i.e., biocides) are prepared, they are generally utilized as concentrates that are combined in relatively small amounts with one or more other components to formulate a final product suitable for its intended purpose.

[0043]

[0059] The practical compositions of the present disclosure include polyetheramines and additional additives or boosters disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the multifunctional booster composition includes a polyetheramine and an inorganic zinc compound.

[0044]

[0060] The multifunctional booster composition disclosed herein can effectively enhance the performance of preservatives in a container. "The performance of preservatives in a container" refers to enhancing various properties such as the rheology of industrial materials, pH stabilization, color acceptance, and boosting of preservatives. For example, incorporating the multifunctional booster or composition disclosed herein into an acrylic semi-gloss architectural paint formulation, which is a non-volatile organic compound (VOC), at a concentration of about 0.2 wt% to about 0.4 wt% boosts the viscosity stability over time.

[0045]

[0061] In various forms, the practical composition is a paint or coating composition, in which case other components can include one or more pigments, polymer resin binders or fillers (e.g., latex resin), and a carrier medium such as water. Specific polymer resins can include acrylates, butadiene, PVA, EVA, styrene, or vinyl acetate polymers. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the multifunctional booster composition is added to a coating composition, specifically a water-based coating composition such as a latex paint, in an amount of about 0.02 wt% to about 4 wt% of the coating composition.

[0046]

[0062] In another exemplary form, the water-based industrial material of the present disclosure may be a joint sealing compound. A joint sealing compound (also known as a wallboard joint compound, drywall joint compound, or wallboard mud) can be used to attach tape to wallboard (also known as drywall, gypsum board, or sheetrock) to cover the tape or hide defects on the surface of the wallboard. A typical wallboard joint compound may contain a substantial or larger proportion of gypsum or limestone and water, and a relatively smaller proportion of stone, clay, and polymers.

[0047]

[0063] Another exemplary form of the present disclosure includes methods for inhibiting or preventing the growth of microorganisms in industrial materials that are susceptible to or affected by contamination by bacteria, fungi, yeast, algae, and slime molds. For example, the method may include incorporating into or onto the industrial material a multifunctional booster according to an exemplary form of the present disclosure in an amount effective to have a detrimental effect on the growth of microorganisms.

[0048]

[0064] The multifunctional boosters disclosed herein can be incorporated into architectural paints. In one exemplary embodiment, the architectural paint includes a solvent (e.g., water), a latex binder (e.g., a polymer containing one or more acrylate, vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride, and / or styrene butadiene monomers), and a multifunctional booster. Optionally, the architectural paint may further include a dispersant and / or a surfactant to improve the distribution of the latex binder throughout the architectural paint. In this manner, the dispersant and / or surfactant can be used to produce a more homogeneous mixture that can provide a smoother coating of the architectural paint. Optionally, the architectural paint may include a thickener to adjust the viscosity of the architectural paint to improve the adhesion of the wet paint to an applicator (e.g., a brush or roller). Optionally, the architectural paint may include one or more pigments (e.g., TiO2) to color the architectural paint. Optionally, the architectural paint may include a co-solvent (e.g., ethylene glycol) that can improve the solubility of the components of the architectural paint. Exemplary aspects of embodiments according to the present disclosure may have a zero content of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or may include a low content of VOCs. High VOCs are recognized as an environmental hazard and, in addition, pose a personal hazard to painters working in enclosed and / or unventilated spaces. In these spaces, VOCs can accumulate in the air, which can cause breathing problems and potential health concerns for the painter. Many known paint additives used to change the open time of paints are known to be high in VOCs, which is problematic. Poor open time performance can require an increase in working time to correct mistakes such as the appearance of streak patterns inherent in the paint composition. Therefore, improving the open time while reducing the VOC content can provide significant advantages in terms of the cost and efficiency of paint projects, as well as the health of the painters.

[0049]

[0065] Another aspect of the exemplary embodiments may include certain latex binders. Suitable latex binders may include various polymers suitable for architectural paints, such as acrylates (e.g., polymethyl methacrylate) that can be formed as homopolymers or copolymers. For example, the copolymer may include the incorporation of another monomer (e.g., butadiene styrene). In some embodiments, the acrylate may be modified to include one or more nitrile groups. Thus, suitable latex binders may include various acrylates, acrylate butadiene styrene copolymers, and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymers. Additionally, these latex binders are provided for illustrative purposes, and additional latex binders may be used alone or in combination with the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0050]

[0066] As an example for illustration, embodiments of the present disclosure may include an architectural paint containing a latex binder containing acrylate. Examples of acrylate may include a polymer or copolymer containing one or more acrylate monomers. Exemplary forms of the acrylate polymer or copolymer may include the mass fraction of the acrylate monomer. For example, examples of acrylate may include a copolymer containing an acrylate monomer (e.g., methyl methacrylate) and a second monomer (e.g., butadiene styrene). The mass fraction of the acrylate monomer copolymer relative to the total weight of the copolymer can define the mass fraction. In some acrylates, the mass fraction of the acrylate monomer copolymer relative to the total weight of the copolymer may be about 20 wt% or more and about 100 wt% or less, for example about 30 wt% or more and about 80 wt% or less, about 40 wt% or more and about 70 wt% or less, or about 45 wt% or more and about 60 wt% or less (e.g., 100 wt%, 95 wt%, 90 wt%, 85 wt%, 80 wt%, 75 wt%, 70 wt%, 65 wt%, 60 wt%, 55 wt%, or 50 wt%). In particular, certain embodiments may include an acrylate in which the mass fraction of the acrylate monomer relative to the total weight of the acrylate is greater than 50 wt%.

[0051]

[0067] Exemplary embodiments formulated in accordance with the present disclosure can provide additional benefits for formulating low-VOC architectural paints. In particular, the exemplary embodiments may include solvents that can be considered low-VOC or VOC-free. For example, water, since it is not an organic compound, is preferably incorporated into the architectural paints of the present disclosure. In addition to water, co-solvents can be included to improve the solubility of the components of the architectural paint (such as multifunctional boosters, surfactants, pigments, etc.). Exemplary co-solvents may be those that are VOC exempt (such as acetone, AMP-95, dimethyl carbonate, methyl acetate, parachlorobenzotrifluoride, tert-butyl acetate, and propylene carbonate), or may be included at lower concentrations (such as lower weight percentages) to limit the VOC concentration of the architectural paint.

[0052]

[0068] For example, certain embodiments of the present disclosure may include architectural paints having a VOC content of less than one-thousandth of one percent (<0.001%) based on the total weight of the architectural paint. The VOC content can be determined using various methods, and preferably, the exemplary embodiments may include the specific VOC content determined in accordance with EPA Method 24 for surface coatings.

[0053]

[0069] In some exemplary embodiments, an alternative method for determining the VOC content can also be used to determine the VOC content. For example, ASTM D6886-14 does not specifically define what constitutes a VOC component based on chemical properties, but rather implies that all components that produce peaks in the gas chromatogram are considered VOCs (either applicable or non-applicable). In addition, IOS11890-2 can be used to determine the VOC content based on a predefined boiling point limit. As an example, when the term "VOC" is used for a compound having a boiling point below the boiling point limit, a marker compound having a known purity and a boiling point (BP) within ±3 °C of the defined maximum value is used. Thus, when the EU definition for VOCs is adopted (i.e., all compounds having a boiling point below 250 °C are classified as VOCs), tetradecane (having a BP of 252.6 °C) or a nonpolar compound having a similar boiling point can be used as a marker compound for a nonpolar system, while diethyl adipate (having a BP of 251 °C) can be used for a polar system.

[0054]

[0070] Exemplary embodiments according to the present disclosure may include a VOC content of 0.00001 percent (0.00001%) or more and 0.001 percent (0.001%) or less when determined using one of the methods disclosed herein (e.g., EPA method 24), for example, 0.00005 percent (0.00005%) or more and 0.0008 percent (0.0008%) or less, or 0.0001 percent (0.0001%) or more and 0.0005 percent (0.0005%) or less. In some embodiments, the VOC content may be substantially zero, for example, containing a substantially undetectable amount of VOCs based on the analytical tool (e.g., gas chromatograph) used to determine the VOC content.

[0055]

[0071] For exemplary embodiments, the multifunctional booster may be present in the architectural paint in an amount effective to reduce the appearance of streaks even in a low humidity environment. For example, the multifunctional booster may be present at a concentration of about 0.1 percent (0.1%) or more and about 5 percent (5%) or less, based on the weight of the multifunctional booster to the total weight of the architectural paint, such as about 0.5 percent (0.5%) or more and about 4.5 percent (4.5%) or less, about 1 percent (1.0%) or more and about 4 percent (4.0%) or less, about 1.2 percent (1.2%) or more and about 3.5 percent (3.5%) or less, and about 2 percent (2%) or more and about 3 percent (3%) or less.

[0056]

[0072] Another aspect of some embodiments according to the present disclosure may include a solids content of 5 percent (5%) or more and 70 percent (70%) or less, based on the total weight of the latex binder, such as 8 percent (8%) or more and 50 percent (50%) or less or 10 percent (10%) or more and 30 percent (30%) or less [e.g., 12 percent (12%), 14 percent (14%), 15 percent (15%), 16 percent (16%), or 18 percent (18%)].

[0057]

[0073] Aspects of some embodiments of the present disclosure of water-based industrial materials may include the weight ratio of the multifunctional booster to the latex binder. Advantageously, the weight ratio of the multifunctional booster to the latex binder is 1:999 or less and 1:9 or more, such as 1:900 or less and 1:9 or more, 1:800 or less and 1:9 or more, 1:800 or less and 1:90 or more, or 1:800 or less and 1:200 or more (e.g., 1:900, 1:800:1:700, 1:600, 1:500, 1:400, 1:300, 1:200, or 1:100).

[0058]

[0074] The weight ratio of the multifunctional booster to the latex binder, as used herein, is understood to be based on the multifunctional booster. Thus, 1:999 or less is to be read as there being 999 weight units or less of the latex binder per 1 weight unit of the multifunctional booster. As another example for illustration, 1:9 or more is to be read as there being 9 weight units or more of the latex binder per 1 weight unit of the multifunctional booster.

[0059]

[0075] One exemplary aspect of certain embodiments may include an increase in open time resulting from adding the multifunctional booster to an architectural paint. To determine the increase in open time, a base paint having a composition without the multifunctional booster can be modified to produce an architectural paint by adding an effective amount of the multifunctional booster to the base paint. In some embodiments, adding an effective amount of the multifunctional booster to the base paint can result in an increase in open time determined for the architectural paint of 10 percent (10%) or more, such as 20 percent (20%) or more, such as 30 percent (30%) or more, such as 40 percent (40%) or more, such as 50 percent (50%) or more, such as 60 percent (60%) or more, such as 75 percent (75%) or more, compared to the base or reference paint alone. The open time can be determined using various methods, and in a preferred embodiment according to the present disclosure, the open time can be determined in accordance with the OTA test ASTM D7488 - 11, "Standard Test Method for Open Time of Latex Paints".

[0060]

[0076] Alternatively, or in addition, another exemplary aspect of certain embodiments may include an increase in scrub resistance resulting from the addition of a multifunctional booster to a paint composition. To determine the increase in scrub resistance, test methods such as ASTM D2486 can be used to compare the number of scrubs until the substrate material deteriorates and / or is exposed after several scrubs. For example, a first coating may be applied to the substrate material using a base paint, and a second coating may be applied to the substrate material using an architectural paint, which is formulated by adding an effective amount of a multifunctional booster to the base paint. After applying a polishing force (e.g., scrubbing) to the coating, the scrub resistance can be determined, at least in part, based on the removal of the coating and / or the exposure of the substrate material. In some embodiments, the addition of an effective amount of a multifunctional booster can result in an increase in scrub resistance of 300 percent (300%) or more and 1000 percent (1000%) or less (compared to the base paint), for example 500 percent (300%) or more and 800 (800%) or less, for example an increase of about 750 percent (750%).

[0061]

[0077] Alternatively, or in addition, another exemplary form of certain embodiments may include an increase in stain resistance resulting from adding a multifunctional booster to a paint composition. To determine the increase in scrub resistance, test methods such as ASTM D4828 can be used to compare the number of times of staining until the substrate material deteriorates and / or is exposed after several stains. For example, a first coating may be applied to the substrate material using a base paint, and a second coating may be applied to the substrate material using an architectural paint, which is formulated by adding an effective amount of a multifunctional booster to the base paint. After applying a polishing force (e.g., staining) to the coating, the stain resistance can be determined, at least in part, based on the removal of the coating and / or the exposure of the substrate material. It is understood that the polyetheramines disclosed herein are not used as reactants in the main mechanism for forming the coating.

[0062]

[0078] Embodiments of the present disclosure may include a method for adjusting the open time of a base paint (e.g., an aqueous latex paint). The method may include forming an aqueous latex paint (e.g., a water-based acrylate) with a multifunctional booster having the structure of Formula I described herein.

[0063]

[0079] One exemplary form of forming an aqueous latex paint with a multifunctional booster may include homogenizing the aqueous latex paint while adding the multifunctional booster. Homogenization may include various forms of mixing that facilitate the incorporation of the multifunctional booster with the aqueous latex paint. For example, homogenization can include mixing the aqueous latex paint at a specified revolutions per minute (RPM), sonication of the aqueous latex paint at a specified frequency, and / or vortex mixing of the aqueous latex paint. In this manner, the multifunctional booster can be incorporated throughout the aqueous latex paint to produce an architectural paint according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Accordingly, an exemplary embodiment may further include a method for producing an architectural paint, such as an exemplary architectural paint of the present disclosure, using the exemplary method of the present disclosure.

[0064]

[0080] Another form of a method for producing an architectural paint may include determining the solids content of a base paint (e.g., an aqueous latex paint) and adding an amount of Compound I to the base paint, at least partially based on the solids content. Specifically, the solids content can be used to determine a basis for including an effective amount of the multifunctional booster. For example, the amount of latex binder can be determined based on the solids content, and an effective amount of the multifunctional booster can be determined according to the ratio of the multifunctional booster to the latex binder disclosed in the exemplary embodiments herein.

[0065]

[0081] A particular method for producing an architectural paint according to the present disclosure further includes modifying Formula I by adjusting the degree of polymerization (e.g., by selecting x, y, and / or z) to modify the open time of the aqueous latex paint.

[0066]

[0082] The foregoing description is illustrative in nature and is not intended to limit the scope, applicability, or configuration of the disclosure in any way.

[0101] Furthermore, specific forms of the present disclosure can be better understood from the following examples, which are intended to be essentially non-limiting and exemplary. It will also be understood that the compositions described in the examples may in some cases substantially exclude any substances not explicitly described.

Examples

[0082] Example 1:

[0102] The activity improvement of blends containing Genamin T403 in combination with other components was measured. Potassium methyl silicate (CAS No. 31795-24-1) and metal oxides were added, and the effect on Pseudomonas bacteria in combination with conventional biocides was measured. The resulting dispersion-type formulations were produced using 60% Genamin T403, 5% potassium methyl silicate, and 3.0% magnesium oxide (''1737-34'') or 3% zinc oxide (''1737-35''), along with 32% inert materials including surfactants, emulsifiers, and solvents.

[0083] Reference Name - "1737-34" Chemical Name Percentage Genamin T403 60% Magnesium Oxide 3.0% Huber 90 5.0% Arlacel 83 1.5% Ethylan NS500LQ 2.0% Aerosil R972 2.0% Potassium Methyl Silicate 5.0% Methocil K100M 0.05% Distilled Water 19.45% Polypropylene Glycol 200 2.0%.

[0084] Reference Name - "1737-35" Chemical Name Percentage Genamin T403 60% Zinc Oxide 3.0% Huber 90 5.0% Arlacel 83 1.5% Ethylan NS500LQ 2.0% Aerosil R972 2.0% Potassium Methyl Silicate 5.0% Methocil K100M 0.05% Distilled Water 19.45% Polypropylene Glycol 200 2.0%.

[0085]

Table 1

[0086]

[0103] To examine the preservative boosting ability of these dispersions, a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) test was performed. The MIC was determined via microbroth dilution using the following specific test parameters: Format 96-well plate Strength Approximately 1.0×10 5 CFU / mL Standardized OD 600 Incubation temperature 37 °C Incubation time 2 days Test endpoint No growth (via turbidity) Test medium MHB.

[0087]

[0104] OD 600 Based on the required dilution of the organism, 1.0 OD 600 was calculated based on being equivalent to 8×10 8 CFU / mL. The biocide dilutions were performed in 2-fold increments for each assay.

[0088]

[0105] The test results show that magnesium oxide version "1737-34" achieves a MIC value of 1 / 2 against BIT and 1 / 4 against CMIT / MIT, but is clearly antagonistic to sodium pyrithione. Zinc oxide version "1737-35" achieves strong boosting for all three test biocides. Compared to Jeffamine T403 (Table 1), dispersion booster "1737-34" is relatively weak on a product basis, but dispersion booster "1737-35" is significantly stronger on a %w / w basis, especially when combined with sodium pyrithione or CMIT / MIT (Table 2).

[0089]

Table 2

[0090]

Table 3

[0091]

[0106] Bactericidal curves were generated using Mergal K10N (10% BIT) at loading levels of 500 and 1000 ppm (50 and 100 ppm BIT) with and without the addition of 0.15% w / w booster “1735 - 37”. Cultures of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC number 10145) growing in tryptone soya broth diluted to OD 600 = 0.7 in Mueller - Hinton broth containing the test compound at the specified level were used to perform the bactericidal curves. Time points were collected by adding 1 mL of sample to 9 mL of Dey - Engley neutralizing fluid medium and performing serial dilutions with 1× Butterfield phosphate buffer. Counts were obtained from pour plates on tryptic soy agar after incubation overnight at 35°C. Viability measurements were taken at 1, 2, 4, and 24 hours of incubation at 35°C, the biocide was neutralized with 1× Dey - Engley liquid medium, and serial dilutions were made on plates. The test results (Figure 1) showed that after 24 hours, both concentrations of BIT showed growth inhibition or reduction from the initial count, but the combination of BIT and booster showed achievement of complete lethality (<10 CFU / mL) of Pseudomonas spp. Since the booster showed effectiveness similar to the control, it is strongly suggested that the combination of booster and BIT acts synergistically in the lethality of Pseudomonas.

[0092] Example 2:

[0107] To test whether the booster was effective during coating, a consortium of industrially important bacterial isolates such as Alcaligenes faecalis (ATCC number 25094), Enterobacter aerogenes (ATCC number 13048), Escherichia coli (ATCC number 11229), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC number 10145), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC number 6538), Microbacterium paraoxydans (Troy isolate), Burkholderia cenocepacia (Troy isolate), Citrobacter werkmanii (Troy isolate), and Acinetobacter spp. (Troy isolate) was used to perform a bacterial load test. All bacteria from separate overnight cultures grown in tryptone soy broth (TSB) were blended, mixed to equal CFUs by OD 600 measurement, and then diluted to OD 600 = 7 (about 10 9 CFU / mL) to obtain the final bacterial consortium. Each mixture was prepared shortly before each planting. Plantings were performed by adding 0.1 mL to 50 g of the designated test sample to achieve approximately 10 7 CFU / g per planting. At the designated intervals after each load, viability readings were taken by applying a small amount of the test sample onto tryptic soy agar (TSA). The plates were then incubated at 32 °C for 3 - 5 days and then evaluated using a semi - quantitative scale. This scale estimates the approximate CFU / g by visual assessment of colony density along the streak line. Readings were recorded as the average of two consecutive semi - quantitative readings from "0" to "4". Samples were mixed both immediately before viability readings and after each planting.

[0093]

Table 4

[0094]

[0108] The load test results show that paints containing up to 0.05% w / w of Troyshield FSP40 or Megal K10N are highly susceptible to bacterial contamination, and the combination with "1737-35" at 0.1 - 0.4% w / w shows a dose-dependent improvement in bacterial resistance beyond the baseline performance of the biocide (Table 3).

[0095]

Table 5

[0096] Example 3:

[0109] The solution version of the multifunctional booster was produced while maintaining a zero VOC content. Solutions "1737-67" and "1737-72" were produced by combining Jeffamine T403, glycerin, and potassium methylsilicate with various levels of zinc acetate and water.

[0097] Reference Name - "1737-67" Chemical name Percentage Jeffamine T403 60% Glycerin 24.5% Zinc acetate 0.5% Potassium methylsilicate 3.0% Distilled water 12.0%.

[0098] Reference Name - "1737-72" Chemical name Percentage Jeffamine T403 60% Glycerin 24.5% Zinc acetate 1.5% Potassium methylsilicate 3.0% Distilled water 11.0%.

[0099]

[0110] Similar to the case of Example 1, the test was initiated by assaying the boosting activities of "1737-67" and "1737-72" containing Megal K10N, Megal CM1.5, and Troy Shield FSP40. The test was conducted as described for the dispersion liquid version. The test results (Table 4) indicate that both versions can significantly boost Megal CM1.5 (CMIT / MIT) and Megal K10N (BIT), but only the version with a higher zinc acetate content can boost Troy Shield FSP40 (sodium pyrithione). It should be noted that "1737-72" was a more effective booster than Jeffamine T403 and the dispersion booster "1737-35".

[0100]

Table 6

[0101]

[0111] The activity of the clear solution booster was further characterized. A kill curve was created using the same procedure (Figure 1) as was done using the dispersion booster "1737-35", except that "1737-67" was used. The test shows that "1737-67" itself has no activity at 0.15% w / w, but significantly improves the activity of 50 ppm and 100 ppm of BIT (Figure 2). The boosting kill curve results are similar to the dispersion version "1737-35". The solution version containing 1.5% zinc acetate ("1737-72") has a similar boosting activity (Figure 3).

[0102]

[0112] The bacterial load test was conducted as described in Example 2, except that solution versions "1737-67" and "1737-72" were used. Again, the aim was to examine the improvement in the paint's bactericidal resistance when stored with low levels of BIT and NaPy. As was done for dispersion booster "1737-35", levels of 15 and 50 ppm of BIT were selected, and levels of 100 and 200 ppm of NaPy were selected. The loading results show that both boosters are effective in boosting BIT and NaPy at low levels, but, in line with the MIC experiments (Table 4), "1737-72" is significantly more effective than "1737-67" in boosting NaPy (Tables 5, 6).

[0105] Example 4:

[0113] The booster "1737-72" may be combined with additional components to enhance its performance as a multifunctional ingredient. AMP95 (2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol) is a common component used as a pH regulator and buffer in paint formulations. MIC boosting experiments and bacterial load tests were performed to confirm that the blend of AMP95 and "1737-72" remains highly functional as a booster. AMP95 was mixed with "1737-72" at a 1:1 ratio by weight to produce a homogeneous clear solution with no precipitation. This solution was used for the tests.

[0106]

[0114] The MIC experiments show that the booster halved the MICs of BIT and CMIT / MIT to both 0.075 and 0.15% w / w, and reduced the MIC of sodium pyrithione to 1 / 64th at 0.15% w / w (Table 7).

[0116] The multifunctional benefits of Gefermin T403 and the T403 composition "1737-32" were measured.

[0111]

[0117] The Acronal Edge 4750 No VOC semi-gloss architectural paint formulation was formulated for this project based on the Acronal Edge 4750 resin starting formulation. Samples were prepared as follows: · For each formulation made with different experimental additive loadings, a masterbatch sample of 1100 grams of paint was prepared. Calculations and adjustments were made during the process in the grinding period.

[0112] · Grinding period: A high-speed disperser was used to blend the components at 2760 RPM for 20 minutes to obtain a particle size of 7 - 7.5 Hegman as a reference. "1737-72" and Gefermin T-403 were used in the grinding at a usage level of 0.20% - 0.40% based on the total formulation, and the water content was adjusted by let-down.

[0113] · Let-down period: The formulation components were blended at 1897 RPM for 15 minutes. · The coating properties were evaluated overnight 24 hours after the paint was equilibrated and monitored for 8 weeks.

[0114] · Subsequently, each masterbatch was divided into cans lined with 4 half-pint phenolic epoxies and evaluated after heat aging for 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks.

[0118] Film Application

[0119] Films were prepared from the aqueous samples and applied to a sealed Leneta Penopac chart, Form 1B, using a 3-mil Bird Film Applicator®. The chart was held in place using a vacuum plate to ensure a uniform film thickness. The films were dried at ambient temperature for 24 hours.

[0119]

[0120] Color measurements of the test films were taken using a DataColor Check 3 spectrophotometer model LAV / USAA C31567 to obtain CIEL * , a * , b * and YI-E313 data in the CIELAB color space based on perception. The yellowness index, YI-E313, was recorded to determine the degree to which the color of the sample deviated from the ideal white.

[0120] Gloss and Film Defects

[0121] The coating film was applied to the Reneta Penopac chart, Form 1B using a 3 mil Bird film applicator, dried for 1 day as is, and gloss was measured at 20°, 60° and 85° on the sealed section of the chart. The gloss measurements of the dried film were obtained using an Elcometer 408 Gloss and DOI meter. Gloss was measured within 3 points of the standard and the average value was recorded. Film defects were evaluated at 10× magnification using a MEIJI EMZ-TR optical microscope.

[0121]

[0122] Contrast ratio or Ro / Rw ratio: L of the coating film over the black area (Ro) of the Reneta Form 1A Penopac chart as described in ASTM D2508, the standard test method, for the hiding power of the paint by reflectance measurement * reflectance value and L of the white sealed area (Rw) on the same chart of the same sample * division of the reflectance values.

[0122]

[0123] Color measurement of the test film was performed using a DataColor Check3 spectrophotometer model LAV / USAA C31567 to obtain CIEL * , a * , b * and YI-E313 data in the CIELAB color space based on perception. The yellowness index YI-E313 was recorded to determine the degree to which the color of the sample deviated from the ideal white. Figure 4 shows the color analysis recorded over 8 weeks in the laboratory tests tested in this study. Coatings containing "1737-72" and Jeffamine® T-403 had a lower L compared to the control *It was shown that there was a very slight increase in value, the effect on color was very small, and no obvious covariance characteristics were seen due to a small increase of less than 0.6 units. All samples showed similar yellowing profiles in the initial evaluation. As the samples aged, the YI-313 value increased but did not exceed 2.2%. Therefore, since the control (U210533-01) yellowed at a similar rate, no significant contribution to the yellowing of the dry film was recorded. 0.20% of "1737-72" (U210533-02) showed the lowest DE value, which is considered the smallest change from the control. In summary, compared with the control, the incorporation of "1737-72" and Jeffamine® T-403 did not impair the properties of the dry film.

[0123] Example 6

[0124] The pH measurements were evaluated using a Thermos Scientific Orion Star (registered trademark) A111 pH meter and reconfirmed using a Hanna Instruments HI2550 pH / ORP and TDS pH meter. All evaluations were performed in duplicate to ensure the accuracy of the pH values. Figure 5 shows the effectiveness of "1737-72" and Jeffamine (registered trademark) T-403 as pH boosters and pH stabilizers. 0.2% of "1737-72" (U210533-02) and 0.4% of "1737-72" (U210533-03) provided the maximum boost in pH at 0.3 and 0.4 units, respectively, and up to 0.5 units at 6 and 8-week thermal aging intervals. Although not seemingly large in appearance, this slight boost is sufficient to make formulators recognize and understand that the addition of this product can slightly reduce the loading amount of conventional pH regulators to bring the coating pH into specification. 0.20% of Jeffamine T-403 (U210533-04) and 0.40% of Jeffamine T-403 (U210533-05) also showed positive results but at an even lower rate. The control sample (U210533-01) contains AMP-95 (trademark) at an optimized usage level as a conventional pH regulator. All samples showed pH stability over time. Alkali stability is essential during formulation as problems such as vehicle stability, package corrosion, viscosity profile, and stability of the pigment dispersion can be severely impaired.

[0124] Example 7

[0125] The fineness of the grinding was measured using a Hegman-type gauge according to ASTM D1210, a standard test method for the fineness of pigment-medium systems. The results were reported in Hegman units and in micrometers using a grinding gauge from Precision Gage and Tool Company.

[0125]

[0126] Figure 6 shows the fineness of the coating's gliding, the air volume, and the opacity. These characteristics appear during the gliding period of coating production. All master batches resulted in a similar particle size profile of 7.2 Hegman (10 μm micrometers) in the initial reading. There was no significant increase or negative impact on the particle size of the coating over the long term. The values of the contrast ratio explaining the opacity showed similar results for all samples, and the changes observed with thermal aging were minimal. There were no significant benefits or harmful effects to note regarding air release or air entrainment. However, the samples of 0.20% Jeffamine T-403 (U210533-04) and 0.40% Jeffamine T-403 (U210533-05) showed slightly higher air entrainment. Film defects due to trapped air were not observed.

[0126] Example 8

[0127] The Krebs unit (KU) viscosity measurement was performed according to ASTM D562, a standard test method for the consistency of paints using a Stormer viscometer. The ICI viscosity measurement was performed according to ASTM D4287, a standard test method for high shear viscosity using an ICI cone / plate viscometer model 106-110v-60HZ at a temperature of 25 °C.

[0127]

[0128] Coating samples were thermally aged at 50 °C for 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks in a Thermo Scientific Heratherm OMS180 model number 41298000 convection oven. After removing the coating samples from the oven before measuring the viscosity, they were left to equilibrate at room temperature.

[0128]

[0129] The chart of Figure 7 depicts the viscosity profiles of all the tested samples within 8 weeks. The initial evaluations showed similar viscosity profiles. The aged coatings containing 0.20% of "1737-72" (U210533-02) and 0.40% of "1737-72" (U210533-03) showed profiles higher than the control samples by 13 and 25 units respectively. 0.20% of Jeffamine T-403 (U210533-04) and 0.40% of Jeffamine T-403 (U210533-05) had an even higher impact on viscosity stability, and both loadings increased the viscosity by 30 units during exposure to heat.

[0129] Example 9

[0130] Color acceptance was demonstrated by coloring the test paints with BASF Pure Options® low VOC universal colorants representative of various pigment chemistries, color spectra and dispersant / surfactant packages with 2.5 wt% of lamp black, phthalocyanine blue and red oxide. Figure 8A shows the results for lamp black. 0.20% of "1737-72" (U210533-02) and 0.40% of "1737-72" (U210533-03) improved the color acceptance characteristics as they showed minimal change in the DL * value when performing rubbing friction. The Delta E values also followed a similar trend. The low DL *And the DE value strongly suggests improved color acceptance. 0.20% of Jeffamine T-403 (U210533-4) and 0.40% of Jeffamine T-403 (U210533-05) also showed excellent color acceptance compared to the control, but were not as effective as "1737-72". Reduction in gloss was observed in the colored base paint and the uncolored base paint for it, which is normal and can be within the range of the parameters. The colored samples containing Jeffamine T-403 had lower gloss readings (up to 10 units) than those containing "1737-72" when compared to the control, which may be a sign of some type of incompatibility. Similar trends were also observed with the phthalocyanine blue in Figure 8B and the pigment dispersion in Figure 8C.

[0130] Example 10

[0131] The test paints were applied to a 165×432 mm vinyl chloride / vinyl acetate copolymer panel and three different panels using a 7-mil Bird film applicator (registered trademark). After curing for 7 days, two of the best panels were selected and placed in a linear washability apparatus Gardco model number D10-WA-2151 having a brass shim (12.7×0.25 mm) under each panel. A nylon brush having hairs in a 5 / 4 pattern extending 19 mm from the block was placed in the brush holder, and the number of cycles to form a break in the coating was recorded. Test measurements were performed in accordance with ASTM D2486, a standard test method for scrub resistance of wall paints.

[0131]

[0132] Figure 9 illustrates the scrub resistance characteristics or the resistance of the wall paint against erosion caused by scrubbing, determined by the concept of cycle-to-failure of the conventional failure. 0.20% of "1737-72" (U210533-02) and 0.40% of "1737-72" (U210533-03) did not show significant changes in the scrub resistance against the control. 0.4% of "1737-72" showed only a very slight decrease, but higher dosages may impair the durability against erosion, as seen in the pure Jeffamine T-403 data. 0.20% of Jeffamine T-403 (U210533-04) and 0.40% of Jeffamine T-403 (U210533-05) showed lower durability against erosion, with differences of 538 cycles and 760 cycles respectively against the control. Even if the reproducibility of this test is acceptable up to 30%, the raw data between the tests matched almost without variation.

[0132] Example 11

[0133] The test paints were applied to 165×432 mm vinyl chloride / vinyl acetate copolymer panels and three different panels using a 7-mil Bird Film Applicator (registered trademark). After curing for 7 days, the two best panels were selected and common household contaminants were applied to each panel in the following order: (1) Renatus Stain Medium ST-1, (2) grape juice, (3) mustard, (4) coffee, (5) red marker, (6) wine, (7) purple marker, (8) lipstick, (9) tea, and (10) ketchup. The contaminants were left to dry at room temperature for 1 hour. Then, the panels were placed in a linear washability apparatus Gardco model number D10-WA-2151 with a sponge installed on a brush holder; a liquid cleanser was applied onto the film and washed for a maximum of 100 cycles. Test measurements were performed according to ASTM D4828, a standard test method for the practical washability of organic coatings.

[0133]

[0134] To check the relative ease of removal of common household stains, the panels of FIGS. 10 and 11 were evaluated in a mechanical washer up to 100 cycles. The evaluation of the color or erosion of the test films was performed visually. The results show how the stains in the paint films containing "1737-72" and Jeffamine® T-403 produced generally similar effects on stain resistance compared to the control (U210533-01). The removal of stains from Renatus stain media ST1, coffee, and wine was slightly more difficult from the paints used and required additional cycles for complete removal.

[0134]

[0135] FIG. 12 correlates the visual observations in FIGS. 10 and 11 with color analysis for each stain. The results generally showed no significant change in stain resistance. Some stains had slightly higher or slightly lower variations in L, ΔL, and ΔE compared to the performance of the control, but no significant advantages or disadvantages were observed. Some slight enhancements to note with "1737-72" are purple marker and tea stains. Slight enhancements to note with T-403 are grape juice, red marker, and red wine. * 、ΔL * and ΔE, but no significant advantages or disadvantages were observed. Some slight enhancements to note with "1737-72" are purple marker and tea stains. Slight enhancements to note with T-403 are grape juice, red marker, and red wine.

[0135] Example 12

[0136] Five coatings were tested for a total of 500 hours using color measurements at the first and last intervals, using ASTM D4587-11 (2019), Standard Practice for Fluorescent UV Condensation Exposure of Paints and Related Coatings. The QUV cabinet was programmed as follows.

[0136]

Table 13

[0137]

[0137] All films were applied to the sealed regenerator penopac chart, Form WB, using a 3-mil Bird film applicator (registered trademark). The chart was held in place using a vacuum plate to confirm a uniform film thickness. The film was dried at ambient temperature for 24 hours and then tested.

[0138]

[0138] Figure 13 shows the color analysis of samples exposed to a QUV accelerated weathering chamber for 500 hours in a cycle of 60 °C for 8 hours and condensation: 50 °C for 4 hours. The control (U210533-01) showed no changes that impaired the properties of the dry film after weathering exposure. 0.20% of "1737-72" (U210533-02) and 0.40% of "1737-72" (U210533-03) had a minimum change in L value of 0.51 - 0.92 units and a low DE value between the two tests. In addition, since the control (U210533-01) yellowed at a similar rate, the yellowness index results did not show a significant contribution to the yellowing of the dry film. However, 0.20% of Jeffamine T-403 (U210533-04) and 0.40% of Jeffamine T-403 (U210533-05) lost color due to weathering exposure, showing a greater deterioration of the L value (Figure 4). By utilizing higher usage levels of Jeffamine T-403, the coating properties deteriorated and the L value also decreased. It should be noted that the yellowness index showed a slightly higher value. In summary, 0.20% of "1737-72" (U210533-02) and 0.40% of "1737-72" (U210533-03) withstood the weathering conditions better than the samples containing Jeffamine T-403. * values and a low DE value. In addition, since the control (U210533-01) yellowed at a similar rate, the yellowness index results did not show a significant contribution to the yellowing of the dry film. However, 0.20% of Jeffamine T-403 (U210533-04) and 0.40% of Jeffamine T-403 (U210533-05) lost color due to weathering exposure, showing a greater deterioration of the L * value. By utilizing higher usage levels of Jeffamine T-403, the coating properties deteriorated and the L * value also decreased. It should be noted that the yellowness index showed a slightly higher value. In summary, 0.20% of "1737-72" (U210533-02) and 0.40% of "1737-72" (U210533-03) withstood the weathering conditions better than the samples containing Jeffamine T-403.

[0139] Example 13

[0139] Figure 14 shows the rating of the stability inside the can of the test coating over an 8-week period of thermal aging. Samples were evaluated for separation and sedimentation according to ASTM D869, a standard test method for evaluating the degree of paint sedimentation. The samples were rated on a scale of 0 - 10 for the degree of sedimentation, where 0 is complete separation / hard sediment and 10 is no separation or sedimentation.

[0140]

Table 14

[0141]

[0140] The test paints were stored under accelerated aging conditions at a temperature of 50 °C for a total of 8 weeks. Laboratory tests were performed after each storage interval to observe signs of phase separation. The test samples were rated according to ASTM D1849 for phase separation classification and the rating of Spectrochem.

[0142]

Table 15

[0143]

[0141] No sedimentation was found in the samples; however, signs of phase separation were present in the samples containing "1737 - 72" and Jeffamine T - 403 at both use levels. Phase separation is the release of a small amount of fluid on the coating surface in the container, and this was evaluated based on two test methods to provide accurate evidence of behavior. In addition, it was determined exactly when phase separation occurred in the coating. Signs of phase separation were observed during the mid - course of 2 weeks during accelerated aging. Even though phase separation was present on the surface, no pigment sedimentation was observed, and when the coating was mixed with a spatula, uniformity was easily achieved. Phase separation did not cause a harmful effect on the film properties, and no film defects were observed.

[0144] In summary, "1737-72" and Jeffamine® T-403 were incorporated into a non-VOC acrylic semi-gloss architectural paint formulation at 0.2% and 0.4 wt% during the gliding period of production. The coating performance and stability during all periods of the manufacturing process, as well as the effect on the dry film and stability properties, were evaluated. The data generally shows that 0.2 - 0.4% w / w of Jeffamine® T-403 can have positive and negative effects on paint properties, but the blended multifunctional booster product "1737-72" improves its ability to act as a booster in the container while, importantly and surprisingly, minimizing most of the observed negative effects of Jeffamine® T-403 on paint properties, even when compared at an equivalent active polyetheramine content.
