Solvent-borne coating compositions and methods for forming coated substrates are provided. In one example, a solvent-borne coating composition includes a solvent(s), a colorant(s), a binder including one or more resins, a sag control agent, and a wax dispersion. The sag control agent includes urea crystals that are present in an amount of from about 0.5 wt. % to about 6 wt. % based on the weight of the binder. The wax dispersion includes ethylene vinyl acetate-based wax particles present in an amount of from about 3 wt. % to about 8 wt. % based on the weight of the binder. The solvent-borne coating composition has a non-volatile content of from about 11 to about 30 vol. % based on the volume of the solvent-borne coating composition.

Coating compositions including a sag control agent and wax

A method of making a system for producing coating compositions having a predetermined VOC content includes preparing a paint comprising a resin and a solvent and having the predetermined VOC content or less. Temperature adjusters are prepared containing a resin and having the predetermined VOC content or less. Each temperature adjuster includes a different solvent or a different amount of a solvent compared to the others such that each of the coating compositions formed from one of the temperature adjusters is suitable for application within an ambient temperature range based on a rate of evaporation of the solvent within the ambient temperature range. Each temperature adjuster has no less than 1 wt. % solids based on the total weight of the temperature adjuster. The paint and the temperature adjusters are provided together as the system.

Systems for producing a plurality of coating compositions having predetermined VOC contents and methods for making such systems

A method of making a coating composition includes selecting a temperature adjuster from a plurality of temperature adjusters based on an ambient temperature at which application of the coating composition is to occur. The temperature adjuster contains a resin and a solvent. The resin, the solvent, and/or amounts of the resin and the solvent are based on the ambient temperature. The temperature adjuster contains no less than about 1% solids. The method includes combining a paint with the temperature adjuster. The paint contains a resin and a solvent. The method includes mixing the temperature adjuster and the paint to form the coating composition, wherein the coating composition has no more than a predetermined total VOC content, wherein the predetermined total VOC content is about 1.2 kilograms per liter.

Methods for making coating compositions having predetermined VOC contents, methods for making systems for producing such coating compositions, and temperature adjusters for making such coating compositions

Low solids coating compositions having polyurea rheology control agents, methods for making such coating compositions, and systems for making such coating compositions are provided. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, a coating composition with no more than 30 weight percent nonvolatile content includes a colorant, a polyurea rheology control agent comprising polyurea crystals and a moderating resin, a film forming binder resin, and a solvent.
