Abstract: Autodeposition coating compositions that deposit uncured coatings, on metallic surfaces of a substrate, which are curable at oven temperatures of less than 130° C., are provided as well as autodeposition methods, compositions and components for depositing such autodeposition coatings. More particularly, the invention relates to autodeposition coatings that cure at temperatures lower than conventional autodeposition coatings, while achieving chemical and corrosion performance comparable to higher temperature cure autodeposition coatings, as well as being directed to autodeposition coating compositions possessing improved storage stability and coating thermal stability, and articles of manufacture having cured and uncured autodeposited coatings deposited thereon.

Abstract: A polymeric coating composition comprising a polymeric binder composition, a plurality of nanoparticles, a solvent and a polymeric evaporative droplet templating agent that is different from the polymeric binder is provided. The coating composition can be spray applied to a wide variety of substrates and the as-applied coating composition is then dried and cured into a coating that exhibits a droplet-shaped morphology. The coating provides a highly effective anti-fingerprinting coating with a unique droplet-shaped morphology that can be seen using scanning electron microscopy and provides a cost-effective means to coat substrates having many different surface contours to hide fingerprints.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel aqueous coating compositions containing epoxy urethane (glycidyl carbamate) functional resin. An aqueous coating composition comprises a polyfunctional oligomer having at least two epoxy urethane functional groups and a polyalkylene oxide chain, an optional surfactant, and water. The aqueous coating compositions of the invention can be dispersed in water with or without added surfactants to form a dispersion containing no volatile organic solvent. The invention provides a method for making aqueous coating compositions containing epoxy urethane functional resin as well. Water-dispersible epoxy urethane compounds of the aqueous coating compositions are also provided.

Abstract: This invention relates to coating compositions comprising a linear glycidyl carbamate (GC) resin and a curing agent. The linear GC-resins were synthesized using linear and cycloaliphatic diisocyanates and a combination of diols and optional triols with glycidol. The combination of linear diisocyanates and diols introduces a more linear structure in the GC-resin compositions.
