Abstract: The water dispersible resin of the present invention is contained in a base component of a two-component thermosetting resin composition. The water dispersible resin is prepared by dispersing a solvent resin in water, which solvent resin is obtained by solution polymerization, carried out in two or more stages, of a monomer mixture containing a polyfunctional monomer, an acid group-containing monomer, and a hydroxyl group-containing monomer, the polyfunctional monomer having a plurality of vinyl groups in its single molecule. The monomer mixture contains the polyfunctional monomer by not less than 0.1% by weight but not more than 3% by weight, and the water dispersible resin thus obtained has an acid value of solid content of not less than 10 mgKOH/g but not more than 45 mgKOH/g, a hydroxyl value of solid content of not less than 50 but not more than 200, and a viscosity of not less than 50 mPa·s but not more than 10,000 mPa·s when a nonvolatile content is 45% by weight.

Abstract: A first clear coating composition comprising (a) an acryl resin having a hydroxyl value of 110 to 160 mgKOH/g and an acid value of 5 to 35 mgKOH/g, (b) an acryl resin having a hydroxyl value of 10 to 150 mgKOH/g and an epoxy equivalent of 230 to 800 g/eq, and (c) a curing agent of a melamine resin, which has a solubility parameter (SP value) within a range of from 9.5 to 11.0, and which comprises no less than 50% by weight of an imino group-containing melamine resin. The composition is effective in a three coating and two baking (3C2B) coating process which includes applying a base coating composition, applying a first clear coating composition thereon by a wet-on-wet procedure, curing the coatings, applying a second clear coating composition thereon, and then curing the coating.

Abstract: A water-based intermediate coating composition which contains a water-dispersible polyurethane composition is used. Here, the water-dispersible polyurethane composition is obtained from: a polyisocyanate component containing diisocyanate as an essential component; a polyol component containing polycarbonatediol with an average molecular weight of 500 to 5,000 and carboxyl group-containing diol as essential components; an amine component containing a monoamine compound as an essential component; a carboxyl group-neutralizing component; and water. A three-layered coating film including the water-based intermediate coating, a water-based base coating and a clear coating is formed through a wet-on-wet process on a material onto which an electrodeposited coating film is formed. Thereafter, the three coating films are baked and cured at the same time, thereby forming a multilayer coating film.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide a method for forming a plural-layered coated film which is excellent in surface smoothness while phase mixing between an intermediate coating film and a base coating film is effectively prevented. The method comprises coating successively an aqueous intermediate coating paint, an aqueous base paint and a clear paint on an electrodeposition coated film in a wet-on-wet manner, and baking and curing them at the same time, wherein an intermediate coating film formed of the aqueous intermediate coating paint has a water absorption rate of coating film of 10% or less and a water dissolving rate of coating film of 5%, and the aqueous intermediate coating paint contains an acrylic resin emulsion, a urethane resin emulsion, and a curing agent.

Abstract: The present invention, therefore, provides a method of forming a metallic coating film comprising forming a metallic base coating film and a clear top coating film on a substrate provided with an undercoating film and optionally an intermediate coating film in advance,
