Abstract: A curable composition and process of applying the composition and the resulting composite coatings provide improved resistance to acid etch and mar. The curable composition has (a) about 30 to 90 percent by weight, based on total weight of resin solids, of a film-forming composition selected from the group consisting of: (i) a polyepoxide and a polyacid crosslinking agent; (ii) an acrylosilane polymer, an acrylic polyol polymer, and optionally an alkylated melamine-formaldehyde crosslinking agent; and (iii) a polyisocyanate and a polymer having at least one group that is reactive with isocyanate; and (b) about 10 to 70 percent by weight, based on total weight of resin solids, of a tricarbamoyl triazine compound of the formula: C3N3(NHCOXR)3 wherein X is nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, phosphorus, or carbon, and R is a lower alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, or mixtures of lower alkyl groups.

Abstract: A process for applying a color-plus-clear composite coating to a substrate is provided. The process comprises applying to the substrate a pigmented or colored film-forming composition to form a base coat and applying to the base coat a transparent film-forming composition to form a clear coat over the base coat. The base coat comprises a resinous binder; a tricarbamoyl triazine compound having the formula C.sub.3 N.sub.3 (NHCOXR).sub.3, wherein X is nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, phosphorus, or carbon, and R is a lower alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, of mixtures of lower alkyl groups; and a pigment to act as the colorant. In a second embodiment of the invention, the base coat comprises a resinous binder, a capped polyisocyanate, and a pigment; and the clear coat comprises a polyepoxide and a polyacid crosslinking agent.

Abstract: Disclosed is a liquid coating composition, useful for making a chip resistant coating, comprising a binder of: a first and a second urethane resin each containing terminal, reactive ethylenically unsaturated groups. Each urethane resin is prepared by reacting components comprising (A) an isocyanate-terminated prepolymer which is the product of reacting an organic polyisocyanate with an organic polyol with (B) an isocyanate reactive group-containing unsaturated monomer selected from hydroxyalkyl acrylates, hydroxyalkyl methacrylates and hydroxyalkyl acrylamides. The organic polyol for the first urethane resin has a hydroxyl functionality of 3 or more; the organic polyol for the second urethane resin has a hydroxyl functionality of less than three; and the average functionality of the polyols utilized for the first and second urethane resins is less than three.Also disclosed is a method of making a cured chip resistant, coating.

Abstract: An improved multiple glazed unit including a pair of glass sheets maintained in spaced-apart relationship to each other by a spacer element to provide an airspace therebetween and a sealing element to hermetically seal the airspace, is characterized by a spacer element containing a dehydrating material and an unplasticized polymeric material which is the reaction product of a polyisocyanate and an active hydrogen containing material; and a sealing element containing an unplasticized polymeric material which is the reaction product of a polyisocyanate and an active hydrogen containing material; the polymeric material of the spacer element having a moisture vapor transmission rating which is greater than that of the polymeric material of the sealing element.

Abstract: A water-reducible acrylic enamel coating composition capable of being substantially completely cured at a relatively low temperature, such as about 250.degree. F. and containing a water-miscible partially etherified melamine formaldehyde cross-linking agent and an acrylic copolymerization product of about 3% to about 8% of an unsaturated carboxylic acid, about 10% to 30% of a hydroxy functional monomer and about 62% to 87% of a nonfunctional monomer. The acrylic copolymer is further characterized as having a glass transition temperature of about -10.degree. C. to 45.degree. C. and a molecular weight of about 2,000 to about 100,000. The aminoplast resin preferably is only partially etherified and contains about 10% to about 30% by weight reactive methylol groups.
