  • Patent number: 8664327
    Abstract: The present invention provides a coating composition that is excellent in application workability, and that can form a cured coating film excellent in coating film performances such as scratch resistance, acid resistance, stain resistance, finished appearance, sagging resistance, etc. Specifically, the present invention provides a coating composition comprising an acrylic resin (A), a polyisocyanate compound (B) and a specific non-aqueous dispersion-type acrylic resin (C), wherein: the acrylic resin (A) is obtainable by copolymerization of a specific secondary hydroxyl group-containing monomer (a-1), a secondary hydroxyl group-containing polyoxyalkylene mono(meth)acrylate monomer (a-2), an isobornyl (meth)acrylate monomer (a-3) and at least one other copolymerizable unsaturated monomer (a-4), the unsaturated monomer (a-1) being used in an amount (mass) greater than that of the monomer (a-2).

  • Patent number: 8563636
    Abstract: The present invention provides an aqueous two-package type clear coating composition comprising: (A) an aqueous dispersion of a hydroxyl group- and acid group-containing acrylic resin having a hydroxyl value of 30 to 200 mg KOH/g, an acid value of 5 to 50 mg KOH/g, a weight average molecular weight of 3,000 to 30,000, and a glass transition temperature of ?30 to +40° C. obtained by radical polymerization of 10 to 50 mass % of a secondary hydroxyl group-containing monomer (a) and 50 to 90 mass % of at least one other unsaturated monomer (b); and (B) a polyisocyanate curing agent obtained by mixing (c) a polyisocyanate compound and (d) a compound containing an anionic functional group, a polyoxyethylene group, and a hydrocarbon group, and a process for forming a multilayer topcoat film using the same.

  • Patent number: 8221848
    Abstract: This invention provides a multilayer coating film-forming method which comprises applying a first clear paint onto a coating object, applying onto so formed first clear coating film which is either uncured or cured by heating, a second clear paint such that its heat-cured film thickness falls within a range of 2-15 ?m, and forming the second clear coating film, (a) the first clear paint and second clear paint comprising hydroxyl-containing resin as the base resin and polyisocyanate compound as the crosslinking agent, and (b) when the coating film formed by applying a paint to a cured film thickness of 40 ?m and curing it by heating at 140° C. for 30 minutes is measured of its dynamic viscoelasticity at a frequency of 11 Hz, the first clear paint forming the first clear coating film having a glass transition temperature of lower than 70° C. and tan? (=loss elastic modulus/storage elastic modulus) at 80° C. of less than 0.
