Abstract: A coating composition is disclosed that comprises (a) a copolymer comprising alternating units of a vinyl monomer and an unsaturated diester monomer in which at least one of the esterifying groups includes a hydroxyl group, and (b) a hydroxy group-reactive curing agent. The diester monomer is formed by first opening an anhydride with an alcohol to form a monoester, and then alkoxylating the remaining acid group on the monoester with an epoxy compound to form a second ester group having hydroxyl functionality.

Abstract: Disclosed are aqueous, single-package or two-package coating compositions having pH above 7.0 that contain as the binder a polyurea which is the product of a polyisocyanate and an anionic amino polymer synthesized in water from olefinically unsaturated monomers including primary or secondary amine containing monomers, the monomers being substantially free of acid groups. The polymerization of the amino polymer is carried out in the presence of an azo initiator dispersed in water by neutralization of acid groups present on the initiator.

Abstract: Very low gloss finishes are attained in pigmented, radiation curable coatings by inclusion of a combination of photoinitiators having an acylphosphine oxide photoinitiator and a second photoinitiator such as an acetophenone derivative. In the method of producing the low gloss finishes, the coating is first exposed to ionizing radiation (e.g., electron beam) in air, then exposed to actinic radiation (ultraviolet light) in an essentially inert atmosphere. The low gloss is achieved by a fine, uniform surface wrinkling effect.
Abstract: A copolymer with an acid value less than one contains alternating units of a vinyl monomer and a diester of a dicarboxylic acid wherein at least one of the esterifying groups contains a polyether group. The copolymer is particularly useful in preparing pigment dispersions for coating compositions. Such compositions exhibit properties including reduced pigment settling and improved metallic flake orientation, flow and leveling.

Abstract: Substituted polycarboxylic acids or substituted anhydrides as acidifying agents stabilize a waterborne polyester from saponification, provided: (a) the acidification is carried out to an extent sufficient to provide an acid number of at least 40 milligrams KOH per gram of polyester resin; and (b) the substitution on the polycarboxylic acid or anhydride is either an alkenyl group having at least four carbon atoms or a cyclic group in which the ring is not aromatic. The relatively high acid number renders the polyester dispersible in water without the need to rely on surfactants.
