Abstract: A low odor liquid coating compositions coating composition that includes: 10 wt % to 95% wt % based upon the total weight of the solids in the coating composition of a mono-functional (meth)acrylate monomer that has a boiling point of 120 C or more at atmospheric pressure; 0.2 wt % to 5 wt % based upon the total weight of the solids in the coating composition of an oleophilic compound selected from a wax, an oil, or combination thereof; 1 pbw to 20 pbw based upon 100 parts by weight of the total weight of the solids in the coating composition of a hydrocarbon solvent, halocarbon solvent, or a combination thereof; and a multifunctional crosslinker selected from a multi-functional (meth)acrylate monomer, a multi-functional oligomer, and combinations thereof with the proviso that the multi-functional (meth)acrylate monomer does not exceed 5 wt % based upon the total weight of the solids in the coating composition.

Abstract: A multi-layer coating system comprising a hydroxyl-functional polyurethane dispersion is provided. The hydroxyl-functional polyurethane comprises the reaction product of a pre-polymer intermediate formed from the reaction of an isocyanate with an active hydrogen containing compound, such as a polyester polyol, with a compound having at least two amine groups and one hydroxyl group, such as a diamino alcohol. In addition, a waterborne basecoat composition is provided having improved rheology and pattern control. Such a waterborne basecoat composition comprises a hydroxyl-functional polyurethane dispersion an acrylic emulsion resin, a water-reducible polyester resin, and a cellulose ester.
