Abstract:
A hyperbranched polyester polyol macromolecule, having a plurality of both embedded and exterior hydroxyl groups thereon, may be synthesized in a polymerization reaction having several steps. The hyperbranched polyol includes a central nucleus, a first chain extension, an intermediate substituent and a second chain extension. The central nucleus is a hydrocarbon structure with a plurality of oxygen atoms. The first chain extender is attached to the central nucleus and includes a carboxylic ester group and a plurality of hydroxyl groups. The intermediate substituent is attached to the first chain extender, and is a polyfunctional carboxylic acid or anhydride thereof. The preferred intermediate substituent is a cyclic compound. The second chain extension is attached to the intermediate substituent. The preferred second chain extension includes a glycidyl ester or epoxy. Methods of making a hyperbranched polyester polyol are also disclosed. Coating compositions in which the hyperbranched polyol is reacted with an aminoplast or with an isocyanate are also encompassed by the invention.
Abstract:
A binder for a coating composition is formed using a principal resin polyol, in combination with a hyper-branched polyol as a reactive intermediate, and at least one crosslinker. The principal resin polyol is at least one of a polyester polyol, a polyether polyol, and a polyacrylate. Hyper-branched polyester polyols may be used as reactive diluents, which will cross-link with isocyanates, isocyanurates, epoxides, anhydrides or their corresponding polyacids and/or aminoplasts to form a binder having particular properties, to help control the rheology of a coating system. The hyperbranched polyol, the principal resin polyol, or both may, optionally, include a carbamate functional group in the structure thereof. Coating compositions may be made using the binders together with additional components.

This invention concerns low viscosity aldimine and ketimine reactive diluents having multi-imine functionality, which are useful in automotive refinish coating compositions, including a process for making them and the coatings that contain them.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a coating composition containing a carbamate-functional resin having in its structure a hyperbranched or star polyol core, a first chain extension based on a polycarboxylic acid or anhydride, a second chain extension based on an epoxy containing compound, and having carbamate functional groups on the core, the second chain extension, or both; and a second resin containing functional groups reactive with the carbamate groups on the carbamate-functional resin. In one embodiment, the coating compositions are used as a clearcoat to be applied over a basecoat to form a composite coating. The compositions exhibit a combination of desirable properties, such as scratch and mar resistance, resistance to environmental etch, good intercoat adhesion, and high solids.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a dendritic macromolecule comprising a core and branches emanating from the core wherein the branches are based on vinyl cyanide and/or fumaryl dinatrile units. The invention also relates to processes for preparing these dendritic macromolecules. The dendritic macromolecules according to the invention are not sensitive to degradation through hydrolysis reactions and are also very stable at a high temperature. The processes are very suitable for large scale production of the dendritic macromolecules without requiring purification of reaction intermediates.
Abstract:
Dense star polymers having terminal group densities greater than conventional star polymers exhibit greater and more uniform reactivity than their corresponding conventional star polymers. For example, a third generation, amine-terminated polyamidoamine dense star polymer prepared from ammonia, methyl acrylate and ethylenediamine has 1.24.times.10.sup.-4 amine moieties per unit volume (cubic Angstrom units) in contrast to the 1.58.times.10.sup.-6 amine moieties per unit volume contained by a conventional star polymer. Such dense star polymers are useful as demulsifiers for oil/water emulsions, wet strength agents in the manufacture of paper, and agents for modifying viscosity in aqueous formulations such as paints.
