The present invention is directed towards an electrodepositable coating composition comprising a cationic electrodepositable binder; a phyllosilicate pigment; and a dispersing agent. Also disclosed are methods of making the electrodepositable coating composition, coatings derived therefrom, and substrates coated with the coatings derived from the electrodepositable coating composition.

An inorganic nanomaterial for continuous formaldehyde removal includes the following components in part by mass: 20-30 parts of water, 0.1-0.3 parts of cellulose, 0.1-0.2 parts of a defoamer, 0.3-0.6 parts of a dispersant, 0.3-0.6 parts of a wetting agent, 20-25 parts of titanium dioxide, 5-10 parts of kaolin, 10-15 parts of heavy calcium, 30-40 parts of modified inorganic hybrid resin, 0.1-1 part of a film-forming additive, and 0.1-1 part of propylene glycol. After inorganic hybrid modification, an ammonia group is introduced, which can continuously and effectively decompose formaldehyde in the environment. A coating film not only has good anti-mildew, anti-algae, fire prevention, and heat insulation functions, but also has a continuous formaldehyde removal function. The formaldehyde removal efficiency is greater than 95%. The durability of formaldehyde purification effect is 90%.

Disclosed are multifunctional coating compositions for surface coating substrates, for instance interior surfaces in aircraft. In embodiments, the coating compositions include a binder system, such as a resin or solvent, including from 10 to 15% by volume of the coating composition, a hydrophobic polymer including from 40 to 80% by volume of the coating composition, and montmorillonite clay particles comprising from 0.1 to 5% by volume of the coating composition, the montmorillonite clay particles having a particle diameter from 1 to 25 microns. In some embodiments, the coating composition includes an antimicrobial agent. Also disclosed are methods for surface coating a substrate with a multifunctional coating composition.

One or more systems, products, and methods are disclosed to provide for a concentrated surface treatment product, and the preparation, packaging, and application of the concentrated surface treatment product. The product can be easily stored, transported, and packaged in a variety of means while mitigating separation of the components of the surface treatment. The concentrated surface treatment product may be diluted using a solvent such as water by the end-user, allowing a user to mix only what is needed for the project and store the rest with less risk of separation than conventional surface treatments. The concentrated surface treatment may be packaged in a polymer pouch, a dissolvable solid, or in a spray nozzle, and when exposed to water, the concentrated surface treatment mixes and may be applied to a target surface.
