The disclosure relates to a coating method including the steps of providing a multi-component coating composition including two or more components, applying each component to a porous substrate, mixing each component with at least one other component thereby causing at least two components to undergo a chemical reaction.

Multi-component coating method for porous substrates

Target substrates are electrostatically coated by flowing an electrically isolated wet coating composition containing waterborne coalescable polymeric binder into an electrostatic coating apparatus (), depositing the coating composition onto a rotating electrostatically-charged atomizer () and then onto the target substrate, flowing an electrically isolated aqueous cleaning liquid into the apparatus before deposition of the coating composition onto the rotating atomizer is halted or interrupted, and depositing the aqueous cleaning liquid onto the atomizer before or within a sufficiently short time after a halt or interruption in coating composition deposition onto the atomizer so that a coalesced polymeric binder film does not accumulate on the atomizer.

Process for improving hydrolysis resistance of polyurethane dispersion adhesives and bonded assemblies produced therefrom

The present invention discloses a stable aqueous polyurethane dispersions comprising a reaction product of a water dispersible isocyanate-terminated polyurethane prepolymer (A), an aqueous polyurethane dispersion (B) and water, and a method wherein a water dispersible isocyanate-terminated polyurethane prepolymer (A) is dispersed in at least one aqueous polyurethane dispersion (B) and water, and reacted at about 35.degree. C. to about 95.degree. C. until substantially free of isocyanate. The inventive dispersions are useful in adhesives, coatings, binders, primers and sizers.
