Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method of manufacturing a one-component coating composition. The method can include combining a water-containing additive with a non-reactive resin to form a grinding dispersion. The method can also include grinding the grinding dispersion to a Hegman value of at least 4 to form a ground dispersion. A drying agent can then be added to form a dried slurry. A silane-modified polyurea can be added to the dried slurry to form a one-component coating composition.
