U.S. 7,868,120 B2

PPG Industries has been granted a patent for a low temperature, moisture curable coating composition comprised of an ungelled, secondary amine-containing, Michael addition reaction product of reactants comprised of a compound comprised of more than one site of ethylenic unsaturation, and an aminofunctional silane; a compound comprised of functional groups reactive with the secondary amines of the Michael addition reaction product; and a polysiloxane.

Henkel patents waterborne adhesive U.S. 7,871,488 B2 Henkel AG & Co. KGaA has obtained a patent for a waterborne adhesive comprised of a crosslinkable polymer, a crosslinking agent, an acid catalyst and a 2-aminoben- zamide as an acetaldehyde scavenger in an amount effective to reduce acetaldehyde emission levels to less than or equal to 3 ppm, and wherein the acid catalyst is present in the adhesive in amount effective to produce a pH range of 2-5.

BASF patents color effect
materials
U.S. 8,083,846 B2
BASF Corporation has received a patent for
a color effect material comprised of a
platelet-shaped substrate sequentially en-
capsulated with a first layer which is highly
reflective to light directed thereon and
which is selected from the group consisting

Aculon receives USPTO patent for application of organometallic coatings to substrates

Aculon, Inc., a nanotechnology enabled performance coatings company, announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has allowed a patent covering its method for applying transition metal alkoxide films to substrates.

United States Patent Application No. 7,989,069 discloses an organometallic coating deposited from a metal alkoxide composition under conditions sufficient to form a polymeric metal oxide coating with unreacted alkoxide and hydroxyl groups. The invention also discloses a method for applying the organometallic coating to a substrate.

"One of the key focuses for our technology is to increase hydrophobicity and oleophobicity on surfaces and the use of organometallic coatings deposited from a metal alkoxide composition to achieve this is a very interesting application of our tech-nology," said Edward Hughes, CEO of Aculon. "We believe that this technology fills a significant gap where alternative hydrophobic and oleophobic treatments have failed to treat certain difficult to treat substrates."

Aculon, Inc. commercializes unique surface and interfacial coatings leveraging nanotechnology discoveries made at Princeton University. The Princeton intellectual property includes two issued patents and seven pending applications, with Aculon as the exclusive worldwide licensee for non-biological applications. Aculon has strengthened its IP position with 15 new inventions beyond the original Princeton discoveries. In total, Aculon owns and licensees a portfolio of 25 exclusive, global patents.
