Copolymers and latex paint compositions using such copolymers that are heat-age stable and provide good adhesion, block resistance, and hiding all while using lower amounts of pigment are described herein. In one aspect, the heat-age stable compositions include an acrylic, styrene acrylic, vinyl acrylic copolymer or blends thereof including, as additional polymerizable units, at least one polymerizable phosphate surfactant and at least one linear or branched hydrophobic monomer that are both polymerized into the acrylic, styrene acrylic, vinyl acrylic copolymer backbone.

Sol-gel coating formulations including metal oxide particles such as aluminum oxide, calcium oxide, zinc oxide, magnesium oxide, and molybdenum oxide embedded in a hybrid polymer matrix based on a reacted form of a resin composition containing a tetraalkylorthosilicate, an aminoalkylsilane, a dialkoxysilane, and a silanol terminated polydimethylsiloxane. The sol-gel coating formulations are suitable for applications such as anticorrosive protective coatings of metal substrates (e.g. mild steel). These anticorrosive coated metal substrates are evaluated on their hydrophobicity (water contact angle), surface roughness, mechanical strength (e.g. hardness), adhesiveness to the substrate (e.g. critical load), and anticorrosiveness upon exposure to a saline solution (e.g. impedance value).

A fireproof and waterproof biomass floor and a manufacturing method therefor. The floor comprises, in parts by weight, 80-95 parts of a wood fiber, 5-20 parts of an additive, and 0-1 part of a pigment. The additive comprises the following raw material components in percentage by weight: a metal oxide: 10-20 wt %; a hydrochloride: 10-20 wt %; a non-metal oxide: 5-10 wt %; a weak acid: 5-10 wt %; a sulfate: 1-2 wt %; a phosphate: 1-2 wt %; and water: 36-68 wt %. The manufacturing method comprises: mixing the wood fiber, the additive, and the pigment; flatly laying the obtained mixture on a base plate; performing die pressing, and standing for 3-10 days; performing demolding; subjecting the obtained demolded plate to edge cutting, drying, sanding, assembling, hot pressing, cutting, curing, slotting, and silent pad pasting on the back face. The floor has the advantages of being fireproof, ultralow in water absorption thickness expansion rate, and ultralow in formaldehyde release amount.

A coating solution comprising an organic solvent solution containing polyol-crosslinkable fluororubber, a polyol vulcanizing agent, and N-phenyl-3-aminopropyltrialkoxysilane, preferably a coating solution further containing an epoxy resin in addition thereto, and a fluororubber metal laminated sheet formed by applying the above coating solution to a metal sheet, followed by vulcanization. The coating solution can not only impart stability over time to the fluororubber paste, but also improve the interlayer adhesion and abrasion resistance of the fluororubber metal laminated sheet. Therefore, when it is used as a cylinder head gasket, it is possible to cope with the reduction in rigidity due to the increase in combustion pressure of the engine, and with weight saving. As a result, it will greatly contribute to the improvement of fuel efficiency of automobiles.
