Abstract: A coating composition capable of forming a crystal-like stereo-pattern includes: a polyester; a curing agent for curing the polyester; a curing catalyst mixture including at least two curing catalysts to provide different curing rates for curing the polyester; a composite solvent including at least two solvents having different dissolving powers for the polyester; and a wax incompatible with the polyester. A metal product having the stereo-pattern formed thereon is also disclosed.

Abstract: Pigment particles are treated with an epoxy compound having a general formula (I): wherein R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are each, independently, hydrogen, or substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, or R2 and R4 may be taken together to form a 5-7 membered ring, and R6 is hydrogen, —OOCR7, —OR8, —OOC—CR9?CR10R11, monoepoxy or polyepoxy group containing diphenyl, phenyl, or substituted or unsubstituted alkyl or cycloalkyl, or monoepoxy or polyepoxy group containing a polyether group, R7, R8, R10 and R11 are each, independently, hydrogen, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, and substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl, and R9 is hydrogen, or alkyl, with the proviso that the epoxy compound has no silicon-containing group.

Abstract: A curable coating composition includes a polyester, a curing agent for curing the polyester, a curing catalyst, a composite solvent having at least two solvents with different dissolving powers for the polyester, and a wax incompatible with the polyester. A method for making a coated metal plate having an embossment-like texture formed from the coating composition, and the coated metal plate made thereby are also disclosed.

Abstract: An antifouling coating composition includes a binder copolymer which contains one or more copolymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomers or oligomers wherein at least one of said monomers or oligomers has a hydroxy group, a copolymerizable silicone monomer or oligomer, and a film formable metal soap compound which is prepared by reacting a metal compound containing a metal having a valency of at least 2 with an unsaturated fatty acid or alcohol.

Abstract: A self-polishing antifouling coating composition comprises a metallic soap resin which is prepared by reacting a metal compound containing a metal having a valency of at least 2 with an unsaturated fatty acid, a mixture of unsaturated fatty acids, or a mixture containing at least one saturated fatty acid and other saturated organic acids.
