Abstract: Curable compositions which include a 1,3,5-triazine carbamate crosslinker and a polyfunctional epoxy resin as well as their uses in coatings are disclosed. The compositions may additionally contain a co-crosslinker and/or a polyfunctional hydroxy group containing material. Reduction in the formaldehyde emission levels relative to aminoplast resin based coatings can be achieved without loss of the ultimate film properties.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to carboxylated amino-1,3,5-triazines and the preparation thereof via carboxylation of amino-1,3,5-triazines with carbon dioxide and a base. These carboxylated amino-1,3,5-triazines find use, for example, as intermediates in the production of other useful amino-1,3,5-triazine derivatives, and particularly carbamate and isocyanate functional 1,3,5-triazines. The present invention also relates to the preparation of such carbamate and isocyanate functional 1,3,5-triazines.

Abstract: Coating compositions containing new classes of 1,3,5-triazine compounds as crosslinkers are disclosed, which compounds are of the general formula ##STR1## wherein each of Y, Z, and optionally X are independently selected from a group of the formula (II), (III) and/or (IV) ##STR2## and wherein A, D, Q, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6, R.sup.7 and R.sup.8 are as defined herein.

Abstract: New classes of 1,3,5-triazine compounds and compositions containing the same are disclosed, which compounds are of the general formula ##STR1## wherein each of Y, Z and optionally X are independently selected from a group of the formula (II), (III) and/or (IV) ##STR2## These compounds and compositions are particularly suitable for use as crosslinking agents in curable compositions such as coatings, particularly in combination with active hydrogen groups-containing materials. The 1,3,5-triazine compounds of the present invention do not release formaldehyde as a volatile by-product during cure, and certain of these compounds may be used in curable compositions which may be cured at relatively low temperature. Processes for preparing such compounds, compositions containing the same, as well as additional uses thereof, are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to carboxylated amino-1,3,5-triazines represented by the formula: ##STR1## wherein Z and Z.sup.1 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, a hydrocarbyl, a hydrocarbyloxy and a group represented by the formula --N(Q).sub.2 ; each Q is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, a hydrocarbyl and a group Y, with the proviso that no more than one Q in each --N(Q.sub.2) is Y; and Y is selected from the group consisting of a carboxyl group and a carboxylate salt group. These carboxylated amino-1,3,5-triazines find use, for example, as intermediates in the production of other useful amino-1,3,5-triazine derivatives, particularly carbamate and isocyanate functional 1,3,5-triazines. The so-produced derivatives may find use as, for example, crosslinking agents in curable compositions.
