Compositions and methods involving latent base-catalyzed Michael addition reaction are described herein. The compositions described herein are derived from a Michael addition reaction and provide coatings, including primer coatings and direct-to-metal coatings that have optimal adhesion, corrosion resistance, and cure response when applied to a substrate and cured.

Corrosion-resistant primer and topcoat composition

Reactive liquids diluent and reactive dispersing agents for fluid concentrates, colorants and coating compositions, wherein the reactive liquid diluent and reactive dispersing agents have a viscosity less than 1,000 cps and contain at least one molecular species having at least three reactive unsaturated sites. The reactive liquid diluent or dispersing agent may be included a coating composition to form an interpenetrating polymer network in, or crosslink with, a pigmented coating composition containing a film-forming polymeric binder.

Pigment dispersion

Fluid concentrates, colorants and coating compositions contain solid pigment particles dispersed in a nonvolatilizing, reactive liquid diluent having a viscosity less than 1,000 cps and containing at least one molecular species having at least three reactive unsaturated sites. The reactive liquid diluent may serve as one or more of a dispersing medium for the solid pigment particles, a carrier, a coalescent and a humectant, and may crosslink or otherwise cure to form an interpenetrating polymer network in, or crosslink with, a pigmented coating composition containing a film-forming polymeric binder. Embodiments of the reactive liquid diluent can provide colorants and coating compositions having reduced levels of VOCs, conventional carriers, conventional dispersants, conventional coalescents and conventional humectants.

A polymer-encapsulated pigment dispersion is prepared from a mixture of (a) a carrier; (b) pigment particles; and (c) a polymeric dispersing agent having a polymer backbone, and an alkali-swellable copolymer component. The dispersing agent may provide efficient pigment wetting and dispersion using relatively low and thus economical dispersant amounts, and subsequently enable formation of polymer-encapsulating pigment dispersions that, when used in coatings, provide good opacity and good hiding characteristics, especially in titanium dioxide-containing coating compositions.

Polymer-encapsulated pigment particle

A polymer-encapsulated pigment dispersion is prepared from a mixture of (a) a carrier; (b) pigment particles; and (c) a polymeric dispersing agent having a polymer backbone, and a zwitterionic polymer side chain comprising anionic and cationic groups. The dispersing agent may provide efficient pigment wetting and dispersion using relatively low and thus economical pigment amounts, with good opacity and good hiding characteristics, especially in titanium dioxide-containing coating compositions.
