Abstract: The potlife of an ambient temperature, moisture-curable coating composition comprising an acrylic-silane interpolymer and a cure-accelerating catalyst is increased by the addition to the composition of from about 0.5 percent to about 15 percent by weight of interpolymer solids of a monomeric hydrolytically reactive organo-silicon compound represented by the structural formula:X.sub.n Si(OR).sub.4-nwherein X is an organic radical having from 1 to 12 carbon atoms, R is methyl, ethyl, 2-methoxyethyl, 2-ethoxyethyl, or an acyl group containing 5 or less carbon atoms and n is 0, 1 or 2.

Abstract: Energy-absorbing interlayers and glass laminates prepared therefrom for use as automobile windshields and other safety glass applications are disclosed. The interlayers are made from a poly(lactone-urethane) in which the molecular weight and structure of the lactone moiety is carefully controlled so as to get optimum energy-absorbing and optical properties.

Abstract: Cured coatings having a high degree of extensibility, gloss retention, good sprayability and other desirable properties are obtained from compositions made by reacting (A) an organic polyisocyanate; (B) a hydroxy-containing material selected from the group consisting of saturated polymeric diols having low glass transition temperatures, saturated low molecular weight diols, and mixtures thereof; (C) a hydroxyalkyl ester of an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid; (D) one or more copolymerizable monomers; and (E) a curing agent. These compositions, when used as coatings, are durable, adherent and highly flexible. The coatings are particularly useful on resilient and rubbery substrates such as EPDM rubber, foam rubber, polyurethane foam, and on metal surfaces, such as mild steel and aluminum.

Abstract: Conventional thermosetting resins are thinned with radiation sensitive or actinic light sensitive materials and then subjected to a dual cure wherein the material is first subjected to ionizing irradiation or actinic light and then to the conventional curing mechanism of the thermosetting resin. The resultant film contains the properties of both the radiation sensitive material and the conventional thermosetting resin and is easily applied as a coating.

Abstract: Compositions useful as coating compositions comprise the reaction product of a polyurethane polyol which contains acidic carboxyl groups with an alkylenimine. Particularly desirable coatings are produced by further combining the imine-modified polyurethane polyols with aminoplast resins. The compositions are characterized by improved pigment wetting properties and provide coatings having improved low temperature, flexibility and increased adhesion.

Abstract: Colloidal dispersions in non-aqueous media are sterically stabilized in a solvent medium by a copolymer of1. a chain-like terminally monoethylenically unsaturated macromonomer which is soluble in the solvent and has a molecular weight of at least 500, and2. an anchor component comprising a polymerizable material consisting of at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer,Where the stabilizer contains masked hydroxyl groups.

Abstract: High solids coating compositions can be formulated from an ester-containing polyol having a molecular weight of less than about 850 and a viscosity of less than about 60 poises, and an amine-aldehyde crosslinking agent. Such compositions aid in environmental control problems as well as having good adhesion, flexibility, hardness, stain resistance, detergent resistance, solvent resistance and the like.

Abstract: Thermoplastic coatings have a high degree of extensibility, gloss retention, good sprayability and other desirable properties are obtained from ungelled, storage-stable compositions comprising the reaction product of (A) an interpolymer of a hydroxyalkyl ester of an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid and a copolymerizable compound, (B) an organic polyisocyanate, and (C) a polymeric polyol of low glass transition temperature. Rather than using the interpolymer itself, it is also possible to form useful products by reacting (B) and (C) with a hydroxyalkyl ester monomer in combustion with another copolymerizable monomer. These compositions when used as coatings are adherent, durable and highly extensible. The coatings are particularly useful on resilient and rubbery substrates such as foam rubber, polyurethane foams and vinyl foam and on metal surfaces such as mild steel and aluminum.

Abstract: Cured coatings having a high degree of extensibility and other desirable properties are obtained from compositions comprising a hydroxyl-containing, urethane reaction product containing a polyether component and an amine-aldehyde resin. Preferred compositions contain a polyether polyol of low glass transition temperature. These compositions are storage-stable in one package, and the cured coatings are adherent, durable and highly extensible. These coatings are particularly useful on resilient and rubbery substrates, such as foam rubber, polyurethane foam and vinyl foam, and on soft metal surfaces such as mild steel and aluminum.

Abstract: Compositions useful as sealing primers for elastomeric coatings comprise (A) the reaction product of a polyurethane polyol and a polycarboxylic acid or acid anhydride, and (B) an aminoplast resin. When used as primers, the compositions of the instant invention increase the durability, gloss retention and adhesion of elastomeric coatings. Such primers are particularly useful on resilient and rubbery substrates such as EPDM rubber, foam rubber, polyurethane foam and vinyl foam.

Abstract: High solids, aqueous solvent-thinnable compositions are prepared by combining relatively low molecular weight, hydroxyl-containing organic materials with aminoplast resins. In general, the hydroxyl-containing materials are characterized by a room temperature water thinnability of 3 or more parts of water per 100 parts of organic material. The compositions can be used in a wide variety of different applications, and find particular utility in the formulation of unique coating compositions.
