A computer-implemented apparatus and method for coordinating paint-related process steps of at least one paint-related facility. The paint-related process steps exhibit paint-related characteristics. A data acquisition module is provided for acquiring paint characteristic data indicative of the paint-related characteristics. A paint process control data structure is provided for interrelating the acquired paint characteristic data with at least two of the paint-related process steps to produce interrelated paint process control data. A paint process control coordinator is connected to the data acquisition module for storing the acquired paint characteristic data in the paint process control data structure. A data display is connected to the paint process control data structure for remotely receiving and viewing the interrelated paint process control data.

Computerized virtual paint manufacturing and application system

A one component composition suitable for coating a substrate, including at least one crosslinker having a functionality thereon that is reactive with a functionality on at least one film forming polymer. The crosslinker includes at least one member selected from the group consisting of: blocked isocyanurates of isophorone diisocyanate; derivatives of blocked isocyanurates of isophorone diisocyanate; blocked biurets of isophorone diisocyanate; derivatives of blocked biurets of isophorone diisocyanate. The composition preferably includes a blend of this crosslinker with a second crosslinker, wherein the second crosslinker is at least one member selected from the group consisting of: blocked isocyanurates of hexamethylene diisocyanate; derivatives of blocked isocyanurates of hexamethylene diisocyanate; blocked biurets of hexamethylene diisocyanate; and derivatives of blocked biurets of hexamethylene diisocyanate. The invention also pertains to a process for coating a substrate using the composition, as well as to a cured coating formed by the process of the present invention.
