Abstract: Disclosed herein is a water-borne coating composition including a) at least one water-soluble or water-dispersable binder, and b) at least one sagging control agent (SCA) that is obtained by reaction of b1) at least one aliphatic polyisocyanate and b2) at least one amine selected from a group consisting of C1-C10-alkoxy-C1-C10-alkylamine, di-C1-C10-alkoxy-C1-C10-alkylamine, C4-C10-alkyl substituted aniline and di-C4-C10-alkyl substituted aniline in the presence of Component a). Further disclosed herein is a method of preparing the coating composition.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a copolymer, including (A) allyloxycarboxyl substituted benzopinacol monomer of formula (I) and (B) at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer, in copolymerized form. Also disclosed herein is a use of the copolymer as a radical polymerization initiator. Further disclosed herein is the allyloxycarboxyl substituted benzopinacol monomer of formula (I).

Abstract: Described herein is a coating composition including a) from 25 to 50% by weight of a polymeric binder selected from polyacrylates (A1) and/or polyesters (A2) with a crosslinkable amount of hydroxyl groups, as component (A), b) from 15 to 25% by weight of a crosslinking agent having functional groups that are reactive to OH groups, as component (B), and c) from 35 to 50% by weight of at least one monomeric and/or oligomeric reactive diluent with at least one olefinic double bond, as component (C), where the weight percentage is based on the total weight of the coating composition. This coating composition has not only low VOC but also high hardness after curing. Also described herein are a preparation method of the coating composition and a method of use thereof.
