Abstract:
A method of applying a coating composition, which preferably has a high solids content, to a workpiece. The method is one wherein a coating composition is atomized into liquid particles, an electrical charge is imparted with an induction charging electrode means on the particles substantially simultaneously with their formation, and the charged particles are directed to an electrically-receptive workpiece, and includes the improvement comprising heating the coating composition to adjust its conductivity and to enhance the induction charging of the particles formed from the heated coating composition. In a preferred embodiment, the charged particles are cooled before they reach the workpiece.
Abstract:
Cured coatings having a high degree of extensibility, gloss retention, good sprayability and other desirable properties are obtained from compositions comprising (A) an interpolymer of an hydroxyalkyl ester of an ethylenically-unsaturated carboxylic acid and a copolymerizable material; (B) an organic polyisocyanate; (C) a polymeric polyol of low glass transition temperature; and (D) a curing agent, present either externally and/or as a part of the interpolymer. These compositions, when used as coatings, are durable, adherent and highly extensible. The coatings are particularly useful on resilient and rubbery substrates such as EPDM rubber, foam rubber, polyurethane foam and vinyl foam and on soft metal surfaces such as steel and aluminum.
Abstract:
High solids coating compositions can be formulated from an ester-containing polyol having a molecular weight of less than about 850 and a viscosity of less than about 60 poises, and an amine-aldehyde crosslinking agent. Such compositions aid in environmental control problems as well as having good adhesion, flexibility, hardness, stain resistance, detergent resistance, solvent resistance and the like.
Abstract:
Compositions useful as sealing primers for elastomeric coatings comprise (A) the reaction product of a polyurethane polyol and a polycarboxylic acid or acid anhydride, and (B) an aminoplast resin. When used as primers, the compositions of the instant invention increase the durability, gloss retention and adhesion of elastomeric coatings. Such primers are particularly useful on resilient and rubbery substrates such as EPDM rubber, foam rubber, polyurethane foam and vinyl foam.
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.
Abstract:
Cured coatings having a high degree of extensibility and other desirable properties are obtained from compositions comprising a hydroxyl-containing, urethane reaction product containing a polyester component and an amine-aldehyde resin. Preferred compositions contain a polymeric polyol of low glass transition temperature. These compositions are storage-stable in one package, and the cured coatings are adherent, durable and highly extensible. These coatings are particularly useful on resilient and rubbery substrates, such as form rubber, polyurethane foam and vinyl foam, and on soft metal surfaces such as mild steel and aluminum.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an ungelled partial hydrolysis product of an organosilicon-containing material, a method for preparing the partial hydrolysis product, and a composition such as a coating composition containing the partial hydrolysis product. The organosilicon-containing material for preparation of the ungelled partial hydrolysis product has an average functionality based on easily hydrolyzable Y groups attached to silicon atoms of greater than or equal to 2.4. The organosilicon-containing material for preparation of the ungelled partial hydrolysis product contains greater than or equal to 10 mole percent of at least one organosilane compound corresponding to the formula, R--Si--Y.sub.3. In the aforesaid formula, R represents hydrogen or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 group joined to Si through an Si--C linkage. Each Y in the aforesaid formula represents an easily hydrolyzable group. The partial hydrolysis product is prepared by hydrolyzing a portion of the easily hydrolyzable groups of the organosilane compound with a controlled amount of water. The amount of water employed in the controlled hydrolysis is determined according to the following formula,(E.sub.1,2 .times.0.5)+(E.sub.3,4 .times.Z)=W,whereinW represents the total moles H.sub.2 O employed calculated based on the total equivalents of the easily hydrolyzable groups employed,E.sub.1,2 represents the total number of equivalents of Y employed from organosilane compounds containing one or two Y groups,E.sub.3,4 represents the total number of equivalents of Y employed from organosilane compounds containing three or four Y groups, andZ is a number in the range of from 0.023 to 0.43.

There is disclosed herein an amide-containing hydroxyethyl carbamate and a coating composition comprising same. The preparation thereof entails the reaction of an amidoamine and a cyclic organic carbonate.
Abstract:
This invention encompasses a high solids, solvent-based, thermosetting composition having the necessary hardness and flexibility that make it an effective coating for both elastomeric and hard metal substrates. The composition comprises a polyester-urethane polyol and a curing agent such as an aminoplast.
Abstract:
Thermosetting elastomeric coating compositions are disclosed. The resinous binder of the coating compositions is based on a hard polyester polyol containing cyclic moieties plasticized with a blend of soft polyurethane polyols, one of which has a high molecular weight and one of which has a low molecular weight, and cured with a curing agent capable of reacting with active hydrogens, for example, an aminoplast curing agent. The coating compositions are resistant to solvent popping and are particularly useful on elastomeric substrates such as high density polyurethane foams, as well as on metal substrates such as steel and aluminum.
