The present invention relates to a coating formulation comprising: (A) from 0.1 to 100 wt percent (based on the total weight of the coating formulation) of at least one substantially random interpolymer, which comprises: (1) polymer units derived from: (i) at least one vinyl or vinylidene aromatic monomer, or (iv) at least one aliphatic or cycloaliphatic vinyl or vinylidene monomer, or (v) a combination of at least one aromatic vinyl monomer and at least one aliphatic or cycloaliphatic vinyl or vinylidene monomer; (2) polymer units derived from at least one of ethylene and/or a C3-20 alpha -olefin; and/or (4) polymer units derived from one or more of ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable monomers other than those derived from (1) and (2); (B) from 0 to 99.9 wt percent of an additional resin (based on the total weight of the coating formulation); (C) from 0 to 99.9 wt percent (based on the total weight of the coating formulation) of a solvent; and (D) from 0 to 99.9 wt percent (based on the total weight of the coating formulation) of one or more additives selected from the group consisting of binders, surfactants, thinners, adhesion promoters, fillers, tackifiers and processing aids, hardening resins, surface modifying additives, and combinations thereof.
