Disclosed are aromatic enol ethers that have utility as film-hardening additives for coating formulations. The aromatic enol ethers have particular utility as film-hardening additives for water-based coating formulations. The aromatic enol ethers provide improvements in hardness and hardness related properties such as block resistance without contributing to the volatile organic content of the composition.

Provided herein are surface treated pigments and methods of making and using the surface treated pigments. The surface treated pigments can comprise a mineral pigment surface treated with a hydrophilic latex composition and a hydrophobic material, which produce a film on an outer surface of the pigment. The hydrophobic material can be selected from a silane, a siloxane, or a siloxane/silicone resin blend, wax, fatty acid, styrene-butadiene latex, or a mixture thereof. The hydrophilic latex composition can be selected from a straight (meth)acrylic latex emulsion, a styrene-(meth)acrylic latex emulsion, or a blend thereof. The surface treated pigment has a surface energy that is less than a surface energy of the mineral pigment alone, a water contact angle of at least 90° and a dodecane contact angle of less than 150°.

The present application relates to a two-component aqueous sealing primer for wood, comprising: Component A: a film-forming resin composition comprising at least one aqueous emulsion of cationic resin and optionally at least one additional additive; and Component B: a curing agent composition comprising at least one polyisocyanate.

The formed sealing coating can substantially seal the tannin, grease, and other substances in the wood, and has good sandability.

The present disclosure relates to a silicone-based coating composition, and a silicone-based release film comprising the same.

The present invention relates to a method of preparing an oxidatively curable coating formulation made from an oxidatively curable alkyd-based resin, a complex comprising one or more manganese ions and one or more triazacyclononane-based ligands; and to the use of triazacyclononane-based ligands for accelerating the rate of curing of an alkyd-based resin formulation by such complexes. The formulations may be paints or other oxidatively curable coating compositions.
