Abstract:
A liquid coating composition is provided which comprises, as a binder, an addition polymer containing on average 2 or more pendant activated unsaturated groups and, as a crosslinking agent, a compound containing on average 2 or more primary amino groups. The pendant activated unsaturated groups of the addition polymer are based upon fumaric, maleic and/or itaconic acid and/or anhydrides thereof. The liquid coating compositions of the present invention provide the particular advantage of rapid cure at ambient temperatures.
Abstract:
Transesterification curing of ester polymers and hydroxyl polymers is effected by the inclusion of a transesterification catalyst comprising a catalytic amount of epoxy resin and certain inorganic salts.
Abstract:
Hydroxyl-containing polymers prepared by reaction of a polymerizable alpha, beta-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid and an epoxy compound containing greater than 5 carbon atoms are disclosed. The polymer is prepared by free radical organic solution polymerization techniques. Synthesis of the polymers by this technique assures multiple hydroxyl functionality in all polymer chains thereby providing good cure response. The polymers are useful as binders in high solids coating compositions. When used with appropriate curing agents, the resultant coatings have good hardness, high gloss and distinctness of image, have good solvent and humidity resistance and are very resistant to acid etching.Preferred reactants are:(a) an alpha, beta ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid and(b) a glycidyl ester of the formula ##STR1## where R=a tertiary aliphatic hydrocarbon group of 4 to 26 carbon atoms.
Abstract:
Liquid, curable coating compositions are provided based on an addition polymer containing hydroxyl groups and a curing agent. The compositions have a high solids content and hence a low solvent emission upon application. The addition copolymer contains structural units derived from isobornyl (meth)acrylate and/or a mono-ethylenically unsaturated compound of decahydronaphthalene and/or tricyclo(5.2.1.0.sup.2,6 ) and has a Mn of 600-15000 and a hydroxyl number of 30-320. The curing agent may be (blocked) isocyanate or methylolated aminoplast resin.The composition may be applied to vehicles as a top coat.
Abstract:
Coating compositions comprising a polymeric polyol with a polyester crosslinking agent having at least two beta-alkoxyester groups per molecule are disclosed. The compositions, when applied to a substrate and cured in the presence of a transesterification catalyst, give solvent-resistant coatings.
Abstract:
A thermosetting binder composition for coating, comprising:(I) (1) A non-acidic resinous saturated compound having a molecular weight of at least 900, and an alcoholic hydroxyl content of at least 0.2 eq./100 g;(2) A non-acidic polyester of a polycarboxylic acid crosslinking agent having more than one .beta.-hydroxyl ester group per molecule, and at least one of components (1) and (2) having an alcoholic hydroxyl functionality of more than 2, and(II) A transesterification-promoting metal salt or complex curing catalyst which is soluble in liquid hydrocarbons.For aqueous compositions, component (I) (1) is preferably a neutralized epoxy resin/amine adduct and component (II) should be insoluble in water; they can be used for cathodic electrodeposition.

Abstract:
A heat-curable composition is disclosed comprising a hydroxyl-bearing polymer; a liquid, polyglycol hemi-formal diluent; and an aminoplast or phenolic resin capable of curing the hydroxyl-bearing polymer. Optionally, a pigment may be added to the composition.
Abstract:
Water-based paints having improved properties are disclosed. Improvements in resistance to crater formation and dirt pick-up is achieved by incorporation of crosslinked latex into a water-based paint comprising (a) an amino resin crosslinking agent, (b) a mixture of at least two copolymers of acrylic monomers, (c) an amine and (d) water or water and an organic solvent.
Abstract:
A polymeric composition comprising main chains, side chains attached thereto and crosslinking units between side chains. The main chains comprise a copolymer of two or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers at least one of which contains hydroxyl groups, the side chains comprise lactone chains attached to said hydroxyl groups and the crosslinking units comprise polyisocyanates. The copolymers may be prepared and subsequently modified or the side chain may be attached to an ethylenically unsaturated monomer and the modified copolymer prepared directly by polymerisation with other unsaturated monomers. The modified copolymers are crosslinked and cured with a polyisocyanate.
