This invention is directed to high solids coating compositions comprising a hydroxyl functional acrylic polymer, an alkylolated melamine and, as a reactive diluent, a polycaprolactone polyol, wherein the ratio of the equivalent weight of the alkylolated melamine to the total hydroxyl equivalent weight of the hydroxyl functional acrylic polymer and the polycaprolactone polyol is from about 0.8 to about 2.5. The high solids coating compositions have utility as automotive finishes, appliance finishes, general metal finishing and the like.

High solids coating compositions containing polycaprolactone polyol

Described herein is a magnetic recording medium comprising a substrate and a magnetic recording layer thereon comprising a cured binder and magnetic particles, the binder containing a blend of a thermoplastic polymer or polymers and a polyfunctional acrylate derivatives of a caprolactone-polyol or a polyester polyol.
