Abstract: A waterborne acrylate-functionalized alkyd coating composition is disclosed, which includes an acrylate-functionalized alkyd resin, at least one drier, and water. The acrylate-functionalized alkyd resin comprises the reaction product of (i) a hydroxy functional alkyd resin, (ii) an acid anhydride, and (iii) a glycidyl acrylate. Methods of preparing waterborne acrylate-functionalized alkyd coating compositions are also disclosed.

Abstract: A solvent-borne acrylate-functionalized alkyd coating composition is disclosed which includes an acrylate-functionalized alkyd, at least one drier, and an organic solvent. Also disclosed is a waterborne acrylate-functionalized alkyd coating composition including an acrylate-functionalized alkyd resin, at least one drier, and water. The acrylate-functionalized alkyd resin comprises the reaction product of (i) an alkyd resin having an acid number from greater than 0 to about 10 mg KOH/g, and (ii) a glycidyl acrylate. Also disclosed are methods of preparing acrylate-functionalized alkyd coating compositions, and coating compositions made by such methods.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an aqueous dispersion of a polyester salt and polymeric vehicles which include the aqueous dispersions of a polyester salt. The polymeric vehicle is particularly effective for providing coating binders in cured primer coatings. The primer coating compositions are useful for multilayer paint coating films which have at least two layers of paint film including the cured primer coating composition film. The use of the primer polymeric vehicles of the present invention in conjunction with one or more additional overlaying top coating film layers provide a multiple layer coatings having improved adhesion and chip resistance.

Abstract: Acetoacetate-functional alkyd resins are disclosed, as are compositions including such resins in combination with at least one drier and an organic solvent. The acetoacetate-functional alkyd resin described is the reaction product of an alkyd resin with an alkyl acetoacetate. Also disclosed are methods of preparing such compositions, and uses for such compositions.

Abstract: The instant invention relates to weatherable polycarbonate compositions (formulations or blends) comprising piperazinone or piperazine dione based HALS. These piperazinone or piperazine dione based HALS impart photostability to the polycarbonate formulations, thereby reducing yellowing or other forms of light induced degradation.
