  • Patent number: 6582822
    Abstract: An aqueous coating composition is provided which includes crosslinkable film-forming resin and about 0.01 to about 25 weight percent on a basis of total resin solids of an amphiphilic adjuvant having an acid value of less than 30, a water-soluble polar end including at least one terminal hydroxyl group and a water-insoluble hydrocarbon end including at least seven contiguous carbon atoms. The coating composition is useful as a monocoat or primer, basecoat or clearcoat in a multi-component composite coating composition for automotive applications.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 9, 2001
    Date of Patent: June 24, 2003
    Assignee: PPG Industries Ohio, Inc.

  • Patent number: 6316119
    Abstract: A multi-component composite coating composition is provided which includes a basecoat deposited from an aqueous basecoat film-forming composition and a transparent topcoat applied over the basecoat, the transparent topcoat being deposited from a topcoat film-forming composition. The topcoat film-forming composition includes one or more crosslinkable film-forming resins and one or more amphiphilic adjuvants including: a water-soluble polar end having at least one terminal hydrophilic group selected from hydroxyl groups, carbamate groups, amide groups and urea groups; and a water-insoluble hydrocarbon end having at least six contiguous carbon atoms. The adjuvant has an acid value of less than 30 and is present in an amount ranging from about 0.01 to about 25 weight percent on a basis of total resin solids of the topcoat film-forming composition.
