Abstract:
A multilayer article comprises a substrate layer, and a coating layer in contiguous superposed contact with the substrate layer, the coating layer comprising a thermostable, weatherable polymer comprising structural units derived from at least one 1,3-dihydroxybenzene moiety, at least one aromatic dicarboxylic acid moiety, at least one bisphenol moiety, and at least one soft-block moiety derived from a siloxane oligomer, in which the multilayer article comprises the substrate layer and the coating layer, or the substrate layer with coating layers on each side of the substrate layer.
Abstract:
A thermosetting polymer material capable of being used in powder coatings. The thermosetting polymer material includes at least one hydroxyl functional aliphatic polycarbonates that is formulated and crosslinked with isocyanates to yield a thermoset organic coating material. These materials provide improved weatherability as compared to prior art powder coating materials while also being less expensive than prior art materials utilizing fluorinated polymers.
