Abstract: A waterborne one-component coating composition capable of self-crosslinking and exhibiting a gloss and hardness improvement when cured that is similar to a solventborne two-component composition. The composition includes a urethane phase including a polyurethane polymer with at least polyester diol monomer units, polycarbonate diol monomer units, and ketone-functionalized diol monomer units. The composition may include an optional acrylic phase including an acrylic polymer having monomer units selected from one of alkyl (meth)acrylate monomer units, vinyl acetate monomer units, styrene monomer units, ketone-functional vinyl monomer units, or combinations thereof. The composition includes a hydrazine-functionalized crosslinking agent configured to crosslink one of the ketone-functionalized diol monomer units, the ketone-functional vinyl monomer units, or both. The composition further includes one or more tertiary amine reaction moderators or neutralizing agents.

Abstract: This invention describes a treatment for wood and other cellulosic materials for minimizing the net dimensional change in the wood and/or cellulosic material between cycles of shrinking and swelling. Cycles of shrinking and swelling compromise the integrity of cellulosic materials, including wood. The water-in-oil composition disclosed herein can be used as a treatment to reduce the magnitude of the dimensional change, thereby mitigating stress and reduce cracking.
