Publication number: 20200048494Abstract: A urethane composition useful in a variety of applications such as, for example, as a direct-to-metal coating, i.e. a coating composition that can be applied directly to the surface of a metal substrate without a primer or pretreatment is described. The coating composition preferably includes a polyol that is the reaction product of a resin of general formula (I) with an acid or a diol respectively, with the reaction being carried out in the presence of a catalyst. The coating composition also includes an isocyanate-functional compound as a crosslinker. The coating composition forms a corrosion-resistant film when applied directly to the substrate surface without a pretreatment or primer.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2019Publication date: February 13, 2020Applicant: SWIMC LLCInventors: Donald W. Boespflug, Tapan DebRoy, Dan Hartinger

Publication number: 20180142103Abstract: The present invention provides a water-based coating system that can be used to form durable, abrasion resistant, corrosion resistant, protective barriers on a wide range of substrates. The coating system is particularly effective for protecting metal-containing substrates, such as intermodal cargo containers, against corrosion. As an overview, the present invention provides water-based primer compositions suitable to form primer coats and topcoats on substrates. Desirably, the primer incorporates one or more chlorinated resins for excellent corrosion protection. These polymers not only provide excellent corrosion protection and but also show excellent adhesion to a wide range of substrate materials. The system also includes topcoat compositions enhance compatibility and adhesion to the primer and to provide enhanced application.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2018Publication date: May 24, 2018Applicant: SWIMC, LLCInventors: Channing Charles Beaudry, Howard T. Killilea, Wylie H. Wetzel, Walter J. Blatter, Zhang Feng, Donald W. Boespflug, David J. Fouquette, Douglas T. Mueller

Patent number: 9371453Abstract: The present invention provides a water-based coating system that can be used to form a durable, abrasion resistant, tough, protective coating on a wide range of substrates. The coating system advantageously has excellent adhesion properties and can be directly coated onto stainless steel surfaces without requiring an intervening primer layer. Primer layers or other types of coatings can be used in combination with the coating system of the present invention if desired, however. The coating system is particularly effective for protecting metal-containing substrates such as intermodal, refrigerated cargo containers. The resultant coatings are flexible and impact resistant. Being water-based, the coating compositions have lower VOC emissions and less residual odor than solvent-based compositions.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2015Date of Patent: June 21, 2016Assignee: Valspar Sourcing, Inc.Inventors: Channing C. Beaudry, Donald W. Boespflug, Wylie H. Wetzel, Walter J Blatter, Feng Zhang, T. Howard Killilea

Patent number: 7442416Abstract: This invention relates to a novel stack of siding, comprising: first and second coated siding pieces comprising an outer topcoat layer, an inner decorative coating layer and a fiberboard cement substrate layer; and a liner positioned between the first and second coated siding pieces. The siding, during normal transportation and installation, retains an acceptable appearance that is substantially free of viewable scratches or mars. In more preferred embodiments, the outer topcoat layer of the siding has a thickness of at least 8 microns and comprises a polyurethane dispersion. The present invention also provides novel methods of pre-finishing a fiberboard cement siding product, comprising the steps of: providing a fiberboard cement substrate layer; coating a first major surface of the fiberboard cement substrate with a decorative coating; coating the exposed surface of the decorative coating with a topcoat layer; and curing the topcoat layer to provide an abrasion resistant siding.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2007Date of Patent: October 28, 2008Assignee: Valspar Sourcing, Inc.Inventors: Jason E.

Patent number: 5777024Abstract: An allophanate-modified urethane resin is formed by reacting an allophanate-modified isocyanurate with one or more hydroxy-functional olefinic compounds, such as hydroxy-functional acrylates, methacrylates, allyl ethers, or vinyl ethers. Such resins typically have relatively low viscosities and can be used to make coating compositions for surfaces such as wood, cement, vinyl, plastic, metal, and glass on such diverse products as flooring, vinyl tiles and sheets, fiber optics, and plastic. Such coating compositions are typically curable by thermal processes or by high-energy irradiation, including UV/visible light or electron beam irradiation.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 1997Date of Patent: July 7, 1998Assignee: The Valspar CorporationInventors: T.
