Abstract:
Thermosetting composition comprises a compound having in the molecule two or more carboxyl groups blocked by a vinyl ether compound, a vinyl thioether compound or a hetero compound having a vinyl type double bond and oxygen or sulfur as the hetero atom, a compound having two or more reactive functional groups which can form a chemical bond with the blocked carboxyl compound by heating, a specific vinyl ether or vinyl thioether and a thermal latent acid catalyst. The blocked carboxyl group of the first compound and the reactive functional group of the second compound may be comprised in the same molecule. The thermosetting composition gives cured products having excellent chemical properties, physical properties, weathering resistance and storage stability and is advantageously utilized for coating compositions, ink, adhesive and molded plastics.

A method of producing an article with a color-plus-clear composite coating is described. The method comprises the steps of applying a colored coating composition to a substrate, and applying a clear coating composition over the colored coating composition, wherein the clear coating composition is a curable coating composition comprising:(a) a first component comprising a polymer backbone having appended thereto at least one carbamate functional group, and(b) a second component comprising a compound having a plurality of functional groups that are reactive with said carbamate group.
Abstract:
A curable coating composition comprises a hydroxy-functional component (A) having at least two hydroxy groups per molecule and an anhydride-functional component (B) having at least two carboxylic acid anhydride groups per molecule. At least one of the components (A) and (B) is a film-forming polymer. The coating composition contains amidine groups for accelerating the curing reaction between the hydroxy groups of component (A) and the anhydride groups of component (B). The amidine groups are present in the molecule of either of the components (A) or (B) and/or are present in the form of a separate compound containing an amidine group. The component or compound containing an amidine group generally has the formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 represents hydrogen, or an organic group attached through a carbon atom, or an amine group which can be substituted, or a hydroxy group or etherified hydroxy group; R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 each independently represent hydrogen or an organic group attached through a carbon atom or are joined to one another to form (with the linking --N.dbd.C--N--) a heterocyclic ring; and R.sup.4 represents hydrogen, an organic group attached through a carbon atom, or a hydroxyl group which can be etherified. Preferably, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are joined to form an imidazoline, imidazole, tetrahydropyrimidine, dihydropyrimidine or pyrimidine ring.
