Abstract: Biuret group-containing polyisocyanates are produced having an isocyanate functionality of at least 4 are prepared by reacting polyisocyanates having a functionality of at least 2.8 with water as the biuretizing agent. Most preferably water is used as the sole biuretizing agent. The preparation is useful as a curing agent in crosslinkable coating compositions. The coating composition can be used as an automotive clearcoat over a conventional pigmented basecoat, or as a basecoat or monocoat or even as a primer or sealer when a suitable amount of pigment is incorporated therein.

Abstract: This invention relates to coating compositions and more particularly to highly productive coating compositions that quickly harden for sanding or buffing by incorporating therein a polyisocyanate adduct mixture into the coating composition as the crosslinking material. Such coatings are particularly useful for refinishing automobiles and trucks.
