The present invention is directed to a water-based adhesive composition, comprising an admixture of: (A) about 5 to about 80 wt % of an aqueous polyester polyurethane dispersion; and (B) about 95 to about 20 wt % of an aqueous aliphatic polyurethane dispersion. The present invention is also directed to a method of adhering a workpiece or adherent to a substrate using the above water-based adhesive composition.

Water-based adhesive

The present invention is directed to a tintable coating composition, comprising an admixture of: (A) about 2 to about 80 wt % of a carboxylated urethane polymer dispersion mixture made from 1,6-hexanediol and 4,4-methylenebis(cyclohexylisocyanate); (B) about 5 to about 65 wt % of a hydroxylated methylmethacrylate acrylic polymer emulsion; (C) about 0.1 to about 3 wt % of a crosslinking agent, the crosslinking agent comprising an aziridine-based crosslinking compound; and (D) optionally, about 0.5 wt % to about 25 wt % of a solvent; all percentages based on the total weight of the coating composition. The coating composition of the present invention may be used as a clear coating, or may include a decorative component such as dyes, pigments, colorants, metal flakes, metal powders, glass flakes, glass powders, and combinations thereof, that add a decorative or colored characteristic to the disclosed coating composition.

Tintable water-based coating composition

The present invention is directed to a tintable coating composition, comprising an admixture of (A) about 2 to about 80 wt % of a carboxylated urethane polymer mixture made from 2,6-hexanediol and 4,4-methylenebis (cyclohexylisocyanate); (B) about 5 to about 65 wt % of a hydroxylated methylmethacrylate acrylic polymer; (C) about 0.2 to about 10 wt % of an epoxylated silane cross-linking agent; and (D) optionally, about 0.5 wt % to about 25 wt % of a solvent; all percentages based on the total weight of the coating composition. The coating composition of the present invention may be used as a clear coating, or may include a decorative component such as dyes, pigments, colorants, metal flakes, metal powders, glass flakes, glass powders, and combinations thereof, that add a decorative or colored characteristic to the disclosed coating composition.

There is provided an anodizable aluminum substrate having an increased breakdown voltage. The increase in breakdown voltage is achieved by selecting an appropriate aluminum alloy and appropriate processing parameters. Sealing the anodic film increases the breakdown voltage by decreasing corrosion. A preferred sealant is an epoxy cresol novolac having a low room temperature viscosity that cures to a highly cross-linked polymer.

Anodized aluminum substrate having increased breakdown voltage

The present invention is directed to a water-based adhesive composition comprising an admixture of a first aliphatic water-based urethane resin that is the reaction product of polycaprolactonediol or polycaprolactonetriol, 4,4-methylene bis(cyclohexylisocyanate), and dimethylolpropionic acid extended with a diamine, and a second aliphatic water-based urethane resin that is the reaction product of 2,6-hexanediol, 4,4-methylene bis(cyclohexylisocyanate), and dimethylolpropionic acid extended with a diamine. The first aliphatic water-based urethane resin comprises from about 99 to about 20 percent by weight of the composition, and the second aliphatic water-based urethane resin comprises from about 1 to about 80 percent by weight of the composition. The invention is also directed to methods of adhering a substrate and a workpiece using the adhesive composition of the invention.
