Abstract: Substrates, such as the interior surfaces of food containers, can be coated using a composition including a phenolic modified polyester resin prepared using a formulation not including Bisphenol A as a component or subcomponent. These polymers arid subsequent coatings are free of both mobile and bound Bisphenol A moieties. These polymers and resulting coatings have properties similar to and, in some embodiments, superior over comparable conventional polyester coatings.

Abstract: An aircraft having aerodynamic surfaces coated with a clear coat may be more easily cleaned and be more resistant to solvent degradation to the aircraft's paint. Such a clear coat is one having been prepared using a resin formulation including an aliphatic methacrylate and a curing agent, wherein the clear coat passes the SKYDROL Test.

Abstract: Aqueous-based basecoat compositions, useful for application to metal and/or plastic substrates, comprise an anionic polyurethane principal resin and an anionic acrylic pigment grind resin. The compositions are particularly adapted to application to substrates over a wide range of ambient humidities and have quick drying characteristics. The incorporation of an anionic acrylic grind resin, which is compatible with the anionic polyurethane principal resin, produces a coating which has good pigment wetting and dispersion characteristics with improved shelf life and color stability.

Abstract: This invention, therefore, relates to the field of polyurethane coatings for use in automobile basecoat/clearcoat systems. In particular, this invention relates to the discovery that incorporating a long-chain carboxylic acid of at least 50% by weight of the carboxylic acid component used to make polyester resins which are further incorporated into polyurethane resins provides basecoat composition exhibiting low temperature flash characteristics. These low temperature flash characteristics are exhibited even where the basecoat is deposited at 50-90% relative humidity.
