A coating system includes a clear coat layer and a sealant. The clear coat layer is formed from a clear coat composition that comprises a crosslinkable carbamate-functional resin and an aminoplast. Optionally, the coating system further includes a sub-clear coat layer. The sealant is bonded to the clear coat layer opposite the sub-clear coat layer. Optionally, the coating system further includes a tie coat layer and that is disposed between the sealant and the clear coat layer. An adhesion promoter is present in the clear coat composition in an amount of less than or equal to about 3% by weight based on the total weight of resin solids of the clear coat composition. Further, the adhesion promoter is present in at least one of the sub-clear coat composition and the tie coat composition in an amount sufficient to increase adhesion between the clear coat layer and the sealant.

A compound in which n is 0, 1, 2, or 3; R, R, R, and Rare each independently alkyl group, including cycloalkyl, an alkylaryl group, or an aryl group, optionally with one or more heteroatoms, with the proviso that Rand Rcan together form a cycloalkylene group and, independently, Rand Rcan together form a cycloalkylene group; Y is an oxygen free radical, a sulfur free radical, ORor SR; R, R, R, R, and Rare each independently H or an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group, or an alkylaryl group, optionally with one or more heteroatoms; and compositions, such as basecoat and clearcoat coating compositions, containing such compounds.

Hindered amine light stabilizer, methods of making, and compositions

Disclosed is a method for making nongelled addition polymers, especially carbamate functional additional polymers from linear unsaturated anhydrides. The method comprises reacting an unsaturated linear anhydride with an active hydrogen compound to provide two monomers comprising polymerizable C&#x2550;C bonds, at least one of said monomers comprising an acid functional group; polymerizing the polymerizable C&#x2550;C bonds of the two monomers to provide an acid functional polymerization product; and reacting the acid functional polymerization product with an epoxy functional compound to provide a nongelled addition polymer, wherein the disclosed method does not include a step comprising the physical removal of any acid functional monomers or polymerization products. Also disclosed is a curable coating composition containing the resulting carbamate functional polymer, as well as a coated substrate comprising a cured film resulting from the application and curing of the disclosed curable coating composition.

Carbamate functional addition polymers and method for their preparation

Disclosed is a method for making nongelled functional addition polymers from linear unsaturated anhydrides. The method subjects a linear unsaturated anhydride compound, an active hydrogen compound, and an epoxide compound to reaction conditions such that each of the following three reactions occur: (i) polymerization of polymerizable C&#x2550;C bonds, (ii) ring opening of an anhydride functional group of the linear unsaturated anhydride compound by the active hydrogen compound to create an acid functional group, and (iii) reaction of the acid functional group resulting from the anhydride ring opening with the epoxide compound. At the time of reaction (iii), the acid functional group resulting from the anhydride ring opening may be selected from an ethylenically unsaturated monomer, a polymer, or both. In one embodiment, the method does not include the physical removal of any acid functional monomers or polymerization products. Also disclosed are a curable coating composition and a coated substrate.

Functional addition polymers and a method for their preparation

A carbamate or terminal urea functional vinyl polymer is prepared by reacting a compound having an hydroxyl group and a carbamate group, terminal urea group, or a group that can be converted to a carbamate or terminal urea group, with a cyclic carboxylic acid anhydride group to form an ester bond and a free acid group from the anhydride; and reacting the free acid group with a compound having an epoxide group. The cyclic carboxylic acid anhydride group may be pendant to a vinyl polymer, or one of the compound having an hydroxyl group, a compound having the cyclic carboxylic acid anhydride group, and the compound having an epoxide group may have polymerizable ethylenic unsaturation that is polymerized, optionally with one or more copolymerizable monomers to form a vinyl polymer. When the compound having an hydroxyl group has a group that can be converted to a carbamate or terminal urea group, the group is converted to the carbamate or terminal urea group after step (a). The carbamate or terminal urea functional vinyl polymer may be included in a coating composition. The coating composition may be applied to a substrate and cured to form a cured coating on the substrate.

Curable coating compositions with carbamate-containing acrylic polymers

The invention provides carbamate-functional resins and coating compositions incorporating said resins that have improved adhesion with respect to subsequently applied films or coatings. More particularly, the invention relates to carbamate-functional addition polymers having at least 250 grams of polymer per carbamate group which are made with less than 35 percent by weight of nonfunctional monomers, preferably with less than 20 percent by weight and most preferably from 0 to less than 10 percent by weight, based on the total weight of the polymer. The invention further provides a method of making a carbamate-functional polymer and carbamate-functional polymers made by the claimed method. Finally, the invention provides a method for improving the adhesion of a first coating composition to a subsequently applied material as well as a method of making a composite comprising a coated substrate, an adhesive composition, and a glass having at least one surface.

Carbamate-functional resins having improved adhesion, method of making the same, and method of improving intercoat adhesion

The present invention provides a curable coating composition that includes a film-forming polymer, a polymeric additive having at least one bound surface protecting group, and a crosslinker that is reactive with the film-forming polymer. The polymeric additive is substantially free of groups reactive with the crosslinker and has comonomer units with aryl groups, alkyl groups having, on average, four or more carbon atoms, or combinations of the aryl and alkyl groups. When the coating composition is cured to form a cured coating layer, the concentration of the polymeric additive in the upper about 50% of the cured coating layer thickness is at least about 10% higher than the concentration of the polymeric additive in the rest of the cured coating layer.
