Patents by Inventor Mark R. Montagne

Mark R. Montagne has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Coating composition for coatings resistant to environmental etch
    Patent number: 5916986
    Abstract: A sterically-hindered monomer is used to make a polymer which in turn is useful in coating compositions. The resulting residue of the sterically-hindered monomer is present in the polymer, as well as in a cured coating (preferably an automotive coating) produced using a coating composition having the polymer therein. The presence of the residue of the sterically-hindered monomer imparts in the cured coating a resistance to environmental etching.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 20, 1996
    Date of Patent: June 29, 1999
    Assignee: BASF Corporation
    Inventors: Anna M. Budde, James A. Laugal, Walter H. Ohrbom, Marvin L. Green, Mark R. Montagne
  • Substrate having coating resistant to environmental etch, coating composition therefor, process for making the coating composition, and process of coating a substrate with the composition

  • Chip-resistant composite coating
    Patent number: 5360644
    Abstract: A coated article is described comprising a substrate having thereon a color-plus-clear composite coating wherein(a) the color layer of the composite coating is derived from a coating composition comprising:(1) a polymer component having active hydrogen-containing groups thereon,(2) an aminoplast curing agent,(3) an acid cure catalyst, and(4) an amine selected from the group consisting of substituted or unsubstituted pyridine or a substituted or unsubstituted N-alkyl primary amine, and(b) the clear layer of the composite coating is derived from a curable coating composition comprising an epoxy-functional component and an acid-functional or anhydride-functional component.

  • Composite coating with primary or tertiary amine-blocked aromatic sulfonic acid catalyst
    Patent number: 5356670
    Abstract: A coated article is described comprising a substrate having thereon a color-plus-clear composite coating wherein(a) the color layer of the composite coating is derived from a coating composition comprising:(1) a polymer component having active hydrogen-containing groups thereon,(2) an aminoplast curing agent,(3) an acid cure catalyst, and(4) a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl amine having at least one alkyl substituent of at least 8 carbon atoms, and(b) the clear layer of the composite coating is derived from a curable coating composition comprising an epoxy-functional component and an acid-functional or anhydride-functional component.
