Abstract

Water-based compositions that are resistant to dirt pickup, efflorescence, tannin bleed-through and surfactant leaching are described. The water-based composition includes a latex or water-dispersible polymer and a non-VOC UV-VIS (preferably, ultraviolet) absorber as a dirt pickup resistance additive. Methods of making water-based compositions including a non-VOC UV-VIS absorber as an additive are also described.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A water-based composition, comprising:
a latex polymer having Tg of about 5 to 20° C.;
methyl-o-benzoyl benzoate; and
optionally, a cross linking component,

wherein methyl-o-benzoyl benzoate is present in an amount of at least 0.1 wt-% and up to 5.0 wt-%, based on the weight of the polymer solids, and
wherein the water-based composition does not contain benzophenone.

2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the latex polymer has Tg of about 8 to 14° C.

3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein methyl-o-benzoyl benzoate is present in an amount of at least about 0.6 weight percent based on the total weight of polymer solids in the composition.

4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein methyl-o-benzoyl benzoate is present in an amount of at least about 0.9 weight percent based on the total weight of polymer solids in the composition.

5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the cross linking component is present and is selected from 2-(acetoacetoxy)ethyl methacrylate (AAEM), diacetone acrylamide (DAAM), and mixtures or combinations thereof.

6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the latex polymer is derived by polymerization in a single stage of an emulsion of one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers.

7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the latex polymer is derived by polymerization in a single stage of an emulsion of one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers selected from alkyl acrylates, alkoxy acrylates, alkyl methacrylates, alkoxy methacrylates, vinyl esters of saturated carboxylic acids, mono olefins, conjugated dienes, styrene, vinyl chloride, and combinations thereof.

8. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the latex polymer is derived by polymerization in a single stage emulsion process, the emulsion comprising:
about 30 to 55 wt percent methyl methacrylate;
about 0 to 40 wt percent 2-ethyl hexyl acrylate;
about 15 to 55 wt percent butyl acrylate
about 0 to 30 wt percent butyl methacrylate; and
about 1 to 5 wt percent methacrylic acid.

9. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is a water-based paint, sealer, caulk, or sealant.

10. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is a water-based durable paint for exterior use.

11. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is a water-based durable paint with a pigment volume concentration of at least 40%.

12. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition has extractables of less than about 0.3%.

13. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition has extractables of less than about 0.2%.

14. The water-based composition of claim 1 , wherein the latex polymer is a multistage latex polymer.
