Abstract:
The present invention provides for a metal coating composition that includes a resin system with at least one unsaturated polyester polyol and a curing agent such as an isocyanate or a melamine. The compositions are suitable as a primer and provide good adhesion and moisture resistance to metal substrates.
Abstract:
A coating system for application to a substrate having a sol-gel film layer applied thereon includes a decorative color coat applied directly on top of the sol-gel film without an intervening adhesion layer. The decorative color coat may be a solvent borne composition including a resin which is the reaction product of a crosslinked polyepoxy resin and a polyamine crosslinker, and one or more opacifying pigments. Decorative designs may be formed by selectively applying more than one layer of decorative color coats having different colors. A transparent clearcoat may be applied to the decorative film.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a curable composition comprising a solvent solution of a mixture comprising: (i) at least one hydroxy-functional acrylic polymer having a Tg of about 25°C or lower; and (ii) at least one hydroxy-functional polyester having a Tg of 0°C or lower; (iii) at least one polyisocyanate having an average functionality of >4; (iv) a metal catalyst, such as a tin compound, for accelerating the isocyanate/hydroxyl reaction; and (v) optionally a pot-life extending amount of propionic acid.

Abstract:
The present invention provides for a resin system and coating composition suitable for direct application to metal substrates. The composition may include a phosphate functional polyester. The polyester may be an unsaturated polyester polyol. The coating composition may further include a suitable curing agent, such as an isocyanate or melamine. The composition can be applied through traditional application equipment onto a variety of metal substrates and cures to an acceptable surface for further processing, such as top coating with basecoat and clearcoat.
Abstract:
A pigment dispersing polymer comprising a backbone having one or more urea groups and having polymeric side chains extending therefrom. The dispersing polymer may be formed from the reaction of a compound having one or more carbodiimide groups with acid functional resins such as acid functional polyesters, acid functional acrylics, acid functional polyethers, and fatty acids.
Abstract:
A method for refinishing a damaged area of a substrate, such as an existing finish on a vehicle which includes the steps of preparing a damaged area for refinishing, by cleaning and/or sanding, providing a multi-component coating composition which includes at least two components having functional groups reactive with each other in a crosslinking reaction and spreading the coating composition onto the area to be refinished using a squeegee applicator.
Abstract:
A 2K basecoat clearcoat system includes a solvent borne basecoat having a low Tg branched polyester polyol, optionally, a high Tg, high molecular weight thermoplastic resin, and a hardener that includes an isocyanate functional material suitable for crosslinking the polyester polyol, and optional thermoplastic resin. The solvent borne clearcoat composition includes a low Tg linear or branched polyester polyol, at least one other multi-functional polyol, and an isocyanate functional material suitable for crosslinking the polyester and multi-functional polyols.
