Abstract:
An improved thermosetting coating composition of the type comprising a film forming component and an amine aldehyde compound, wherein the composition cures by reaction between the amine aldehyde compound and hydroxy functionality present on the film forming material. The improvement comprises including in the composition a catalyst comprising at least one hydroxy functional organophosphate ester selected from certain mono- and diesters of phosphoric acid.
Abstract:
A fast curing, high solids coating composition adapted for use as an automotive topcoat, which upon curing forms a hard, glossy, durable coating exhibiting excellent resistance to solvents and water. The coating composition contains greater than about 60 percent by weight of non-volatile solids and, exclusive of pigments, solvents and other nonreactive components, consists essentially of:(A) a copolymer bearing pendant epoxy functionality, having a number average molecular weight (M.sub.n) of between about 1500 and about 10,000 and a glass transition temperature (Tg) of between about -25.degree. and about 70.degree. C.;(B) a reactive catalyst comprising at least one hydroxy functional organophosphate ester selected from certain mono- and diesters of phosphoric acid;(C) an amine-aldehyde crosslinking agent; and(D) optionally, a hydroxy functional additive.The hydroxy functional organophosphate ester is included in the composition in an amount sufficient to provide between about 0.67 and about 1.4 equivalents of acid functionality for each equivalent of pendant epoxy functionality of copolymer (A), and the amino crosslinking agent is included in the composition in an amount sufficient to provide at least about 0.4 equivalents of nitrogen crosslinking functionality for each equivalent of hydroxy functionality included in the composition.
Abstract:
Aqueous coating compositions without abnormal viscosity characteristic upon dilution with water are described. The coating compositions comprise (A) a resinous component which is a physical or chemical blend of a water-insoluble film-forming polyhydroxy compound having an acid value below about 10 mg KOH/g and a hydroxy number between about 50 and 650 mg KOH/g, and a film-forming polycarboxylic compound having an acid number from between about 30 and 280 mg KOH/g; the ratio of carboxy groups to hydroxy groups being 1 : 2 to 1 : 25 and the carboxy group at least partly neutralized with a nitrogen base diluted with water to a resin solids content of 35 to 60 percent in the presence of (B) a polyvalent film-forming resin without polyelectrolyte character and reactive with hydroxy groups, to provide a composition comprising 60 to 90 percent of (A) and 40 to 10 percent of (B) on a solids basis.
Abstract:
High solids, aqueous solvent-thinnable compositions are prepared by combining relatively low molecular weight, hydroxyl-containing organic materials with aminoplast resins. In general, the hydroxyl-containing materials are characterized by a room temperature water thinnability of 3 or more parts of water per 100 parts of organic material. The compositions can be used in a wide variety of different applications, and find particular utility in the formulation of unique coating compositions.
