The invention provides curable organic coatings with improved scratch resistance. More particularly, the present invention relates to a combination of inorganic filler having a 50percentile particle diameter of from about 3 to about 9 micrometers comprised of aluminum oxide, silicon dioxide, ceramic spheres or mixtures thereof, and particles having a 50percentile particle diameter of from about 10 to about 150 micrometers. The liquid coatings have a viscosity before curing of from about 100 cps (mPa-s) to about 70,000 cps (mPa-s) at a shear rate of 0.15 s. The use of inorganic filler materials of the defined type and particle size are combined with the curable organic coating to improve the scratch resistance of the coating without a negative impact on the physical and performance properties or application parameters of the original coating material. The present invention also provides organic coatings comprising texture-producing particles which provide the coating with texture after the coating has been cured.

Low viscosity scratch resistant coatings using texturizing and inorganic fillers

The invention provides organic coatings with improved scratch resistance. More particularly, the present invention relates to the use of inorganic filler materials of a defined type and particle size which can be added to curable organic coatings to improve the scratch resistance of the coating without a negative impact on the physical and performance properties or application parameters of the original coating material.

Enhanced scratch resistant coatings using inorganic fillers

An adhesive composition that includes a free radical-polymerizable monomer component that includes a reaction product of a (hydroxy)acrylate with an anhydride and is substantially free of at least methyl methacrylate or methacrylic acid. The adhesive composition exhibits substantially reduced objectionable odor.

Adhesive formulations

An olefinic-terminated polyalkadiene that includes carboxy ester linking groups and at least one nascent secondary hydroxyl group that is capped with a monoisocyanate. This polyalkadiene can be made by reacting a hydroxyl-terminated polyalkadiene with a saturated cyclic acid anhydride to form a carboxylic acid-terminated polyalkadiene, reacting the carboxylic acid-terminated polyalkadiene with an olefinic monoepoxide to form an olefinic-terminated polyalkadiene, then reacting the olefinic-terminated polyalkadiene with a monoisocyanate.

Olefinic and urethane-terminated ester polyalkadiene

A composition that includes an olefinic-terminated polyalkadiene that includes carboxy ester linking groups and at least one nascent secondary hydroxyl group that is capped with a monoisocyanate. The composition also includes a free radical-polymerizable monomer such as an olefinic monomer and, optionally, a second polymeric material. In a preferred embodiment the composition is an adhesive that also includes a phosphorus-containing compound and an ambient temperature-active redox catalyst system.
