  • ONE-COMPONENT, AMBIENT CURABLE WATERBORNE COATING COMPOSITIONS, RELATED METHODS AND COATED SUBSTRATES
    Publication number: 20110217471
    Abstract: Disclosed are coating compositions that can be one-component, ambient curable, and waterborne. The coating compositions include a polycarbodiimide, a carboxylic acid functional polymer, and a base. The polycarbodiimide is modified for hydrophilicity and is derived from a tetramethylxylylene diisocyanate. The base is present in the composition in an amount sufficient to provide the composition with a pH of at least 9.0.
