Abstract:
Cured coatings having particles at a surface region of the cured coating are provided. Also provided are multi-component composite coatings which include a cured basecoat deposited from a pigmented coating composition and a cured topcoat deposited from a topcoating composition. The multi-component composite coatings of the invention provide highly scratch resistant color-plus-clearcoatings capable of retaining scratch resistance after weathering.
Abstract:
Coating compositions are provided which are formed from components comprising (a) at least one polysiloxane comprising at least one reactive functional group; (b) at least one reactant comprising at least one functional group that is reactive with at least one functional group selected from the at least one reactive functional group of the at least one polysiloxane and at least one functional group of at least one reactant; and (c) a plurality of particles, wherein each component is different, and wherein the at least one reactive functional group of the at least one polysiloxane and the at least one reactive functional group of the at least one reactant are substantially nonreactive with the particles. A multi-component composite coating composition formed from a basecoat and a topcoat deposited from the curable coating composition also is provided. The multi-component composite coating compositions of the invention provide highly scratch resistant color-plus-clearcoatings capable of retaining scratch resistance after weathering.
Abstract:
A non-aqueous dispersion comprising a continuous phase and a dispersed phase, wherein the dispersed phase comprises the dispersion polymerization reaction product prepared from a reaction mixture comprising an ethylenically unsaturated monomer, an acrylic polymer stabilizer, and an aliphatic polyester stabilized seed polymer, is disclosed. Related coatings and coated substrates are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A process for coating a substrate comprising (a) applying a solventborne primer coating composition onto at least a portion of the substrate; (b) applying a solventborne color containing coating composition onto at least a portion of the solventborne primer coating composition, wherein the solventborne color containing coating composition comprises a colorant and an insoluble microparticle; and (c) curing at least a portion of the solventborne primer coating composition and the solventborne color containing coating composition.
