Patent ID: 8440857

Claim:
An anti-misting compound having the formula: R((AO) n X) m ((AO) n H) p wherein each AO group is, independently, an alkyleneoxy group selected from ethyleneoxy, 1,2-propyleneoxy, 1,2-butyleneoxy, and styryleneoxy groups; n is, independently, a number from 2 to 15; m is a number from 1 to the total number of —OH hydrogens in the R group prior to alkoxylation; p is a number such that the sum of m plus p equals the number of —OH hydrogens in the R group prior to alkoxylation; X is SO 3 Y, (CH 2 ) q SO 3 Y, CH 2 CHOHCH 2 SO 3 Y, or CH 2 CH(CH 3 )OSO 3 Y, where q is a number from 2 to 4, and Y is a cation; and R is OC(CH 2 O) 2 (IV).
