Abstract: Coating compositions comprise a coating base, a lecithin additive and a fluorochemical wherein the coating base is an alkyd coating, urethane resin coating, unsaturated polymer coating, latex coating or water-dispersed coating. The combination of a lecithin additive and fluorochemical imparts, to a coating composition, significantly improved cleanability and/or oil repellency (as measured by higher contact angles) compared to the individual ingredients alone.

Abstract: Coating compositions comprise a coating base, a lecithin additive and a fluorochemical wherein the coating base is an alkyd coating, urethane resin coating, unsaturated polymer coating, latex coating or water-dispersed coating; wherein a dried coating resulting from said coating composition has an advancing hexadecane contact angle of at least about 50 degrees and demonstrates improved cleanability in a Lenata oil stain test are disclosed. Preferably the lecithin additive is acylated, most preferably the lecithin additive is acetylated.
