  • Publication number: 20100286328
    Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a composition having excellent stain resistance, which is mainly used for a one-pack coating material. A further aim of the invention is to achieve excellent storage stability and maintain excellent stain resistance even after storage by using the composition. The invention provides a resin composition for a one-pack coating material including: component (A) that is a polymer having a main chain substantially composed of an acrylic copolymer chain, and having, at a terminal of the main chain and/or in a side chain, at least one silicon group bonded to a hydrolyzable group; and component (B) that is a specific silicon compound; and if necessary, component (C) that is a compound having an amino group and/or a group hydrolyzable to an amino group; and component (D) that is another organic resin. The composition has excellent storage stability and maintains excellent stain resistance even after storage.
