Patent number: 6136882Abstract: This invention provides a UV curable powder coating composition comprising a particulate blend of a non-crystalline unsaturated polyester base resin, a crystalline unsaturated crosslinker resin co-polymerizable with the base resin, and a photoinitiator, that exhibits reduced or eliminated hazing in the cured coating formed therefrom upon being cured at low temperatures demanded by certain heat sensitive substrates. This is accomplished by incorporating in the powder composition a recrystallization or haze inhibitor which is comprised of a crystalline epoxy resin. When this powder blend is melted for curing, the crystalline crosslinker resin visually appears to separate and recrystallize out of the molten powder less completely than it does in the absence of the recrystallization or haze inhibitor. This prevents a visible haze from developing on the surface of the coating upon curing with UV radiation.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 1999Date of Patent: October 24, 2000Assignee: Morton International Inc.Inventors: Andrew T.

Patent number: 6069187Abstract: A coating composition which comprises (A) an actinic radiation curable resin, which is the ring-opening addition reaction product of (a) a polyester resin having hydroxyl functionality and (b) a compound having both a cyclic ether group and a (meth)acryloyl group, and preferably (B) at least one compound having at least one radical-polymerizable unsaturated group in a molecule. The composition also preferably comprises (C) a photopolymerization initiator and (D) photosensitizer. A process for obtaining the composition and the coating of metal substrates are also disclosed, as well as coated metal substrates that are particularly useful as cans for beverages, soft drinks, juices, and other food products. The coating compositions and the resulting cured coatings and coated substrates exhibit improved processability, adhesivity, hardness, mar resistance, appearance and retort resistance.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 1997Date of Patent: May 30, 2000Assignee: Kansai Paint Co., Ltd.Inventors: Nubuo Kusumoto, Kenji Seko, Tetsuya Koishihara, Atsushi Shioda, Toru Hayase

Patent number: 6017640Abstract: Opaquely pigmented or thick filmed powder coatings for heat sensitive substrates, such as wood, wood composites, for example, medium density fiber board, and plastics, that can be fully cured, especially near the substrate, through the incorporation of a dual cure system in the powder comprising a thermal initiator, such as a peroxide, along with a UV initiator. The UV initiator cures the surface, while the thermal initiator cures at the substrate. Surprisingly, virtually no pregelation occurs during the heated melt and flow out step prior to UV curing. Consequently, the hardened film finish formed on the surface exhibits exceptional smoothness which is comparable to that of traditional UV curable powders. The hardened film finish is also fully cured throughout and exhibits exceptional adhesion to the substrate which cannot be achieved with traditional UV curable powders that have been pigmented.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 1999Date of Patent: January 25, 2000Assignee: Morton International, Inc.Inventors: Jeno Muthiah, Andrew T. Daly, Richard P. Haley, Joseph J. Kozlowski

Patent number: 6017974Abstract: An activation energy beam curable coating composition containing (A) a polymer having an organopolysiloxane unit and a quaternary ammonium salt unit and (B) a polyfunctional acrylate having 3 or more acryloyl groups in the molecule is disclosed. A film excellent in abrasion resistance, antistatic properties and transparency can be formed by applying the activation energy beam curable coating composition of the present invention to the surface of a material, and irradiating the coated surface with an activation energy beam.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 1998Date of Patent: January 25, 2000Assignee: Mitsubishi Chemical CorporationInventors: Noritaka Hosokawa, Kazuhide Hayama

Patent number: 6011080Abstract: This invention provides a UV curable powder coating composition comprising a particulate blend of a non-crystalline unsaturated polyester base resin, a crystalline unsaturated crosslinker resin co-polymerizable with the base resin, and a photoinitiator, that exhibits reduced or eliminated hazing in the cured coating formed therefrom upon being cured at low temperatures demanded by certain heat sensitive substrates. This is accomplished by incorporating in the powder composition a recrystallization inhibitor which is comprised of a crystalline epoxy resin. When this powder blend is melted for curing, all of the crystalline resin species tend to separate and recrystallize out of the molten powder slower and less completely than they do in the absence of the recrystallization inhibitor. This prevents a visible haze from quickly developing on the surface of the molten coating before the coating can be cured with UV radiation.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 1998Date of Patent: January 4, 2000Assignee: Morton International, Inc.Inventors: Andrew T. Daly, Jeno Muthiah, Richard P. Haley, Owen H. Decker, Eugene P. Reinheimer, Matthew B. Snyder
