  • Publication number: 20220154037
    Abstract: Provided is a polyaspartic composition comprising a reaction product of a polyamine with a Michael addition receptor, a pigment, and from >0% to ?3% of a phosphoric acid ester dispersant, wherein the percentage is calculated as (weight of dispersant solids/weight of pigment solids)×100. The inventive polyaspartic compositions may be reacted with a polyisocyanate to provide coatings, adhesives, sealants, composites, castings, and films having a stable initial gloss. Also provided is a method of increasing 60° gloss in a cured polyurea or polyurethane composition, the method comprising reacting a polyisocyanate with the inventive polyaspartic composition to form a reaction product and curing the reaction product, wherein 60° gloss of the cured polyurea or polyurethane composition is ?80%. The high 60° gloss is maintained over at least one-week, and in some cases over at least four weeks, at 40° C. and 80% relative humidity.
