Patent ID: 8703112

Claim:
A low odor aqueous coating composition comprising: i) one or more emulsion-polymerized addition polymer; ii) one or more carboxylesterase enzyme having an ester hydrolysis activity in the composition of less than 0.03 micromole/minute; iii) one or more mono-alcohol with a formula molecular weight of less than 76; and iv) optionally, one or more organic carboxylester with a normal boiling point of less than 150° C.; wherein the aqueous coating composition has a headspace volatile organic compound (VOC) content, as measured by headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) at 33° C., of less than 10 ppm of the one or more organic carboxylester and more than 50 ppm of the one or more mono-alcohol.
