Abstract:
A substrate coated with a multi-layer decorative and/or protective coating which comprises:(a) a basecoat comprising a pigmented film-forming polymer; and(b) a transparent clearcoat comprising a film-forming polymer applied to the surface of the basecoat composition;the improvement which comprises utilizing as the clearcoat a multicomponent curable composition which is reactive upon mixing of the components, wherein the curable composition comprises:(i) an anhydride-functional compound having an average of at least two cyclic carboxylic acid anhydride groups per molecule; and(ii) a hydroxy-functional compound havng an average of at least two hydroxyl groups per molecule;wherein at least one of the compounds (i) or (ii) comprises a film forming polymer.
Abstract:
Novel carboxylic acid-functional polymers are obtained by reacting:(a) a hydroxy-functional polymer having an average of at least two hydroxyl groups per molecule; and(b) a cyclic anhydride under reaction conditions to produce acid groups and ester groups; andwherein the hydroxy-functional polymer is obtained by the copolymerization of:(i) 1-95 weight percent of a cellulose ester; and(ii) 5-99 weight percent of at least one ethylenically unsaturated alcohol copolymerizable with the cellulose acetate butyrate; and(iii) 0-94 weight percent of at least one other ethylenically unsaturated monomer copolymerizable with the cellulose ester and the ethylenically unsaturated alcohol.Curable compositions especially useful as coatings are prepared by mixing the novel carboxylic acid-functional polymers with epoxy-functional compounds and, optionally, with anhydride-functional compounds and, optionally, hydroxy-functional compounds. The coatings are especially useful in clearcoat/basecoat compositions.
