Paints formulated from these latexes, without coalescing solvents, are characterized as having substantially no insolubles, the resin particles in the emulsion are characterized as having a particle size of from 0.2 to 0.35 microns measured as weight average by capillary hydrodynamic fractionation.

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 4, 1997 and granted December 12, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 4, 2017.

- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
