A refinish coating composition is provided comprising: a) at least one refinish coating resin; b) at least one solvent; c) at least one pigment; d) optionally, at least one crosslinking agent; e) at least one cellulose mixed ester having a weight average molecular weight (M) greater than 10,000 and f) at least one low molecular weight cellulose mixed ester. In addition, processes for coating the refinish coating composition on a substrate are also provided.

Refinish coating compositions comprising low molecular weight cellulose mixed esters

A basecoat composition is provided comprising: a) at least one film-forming polymer selected from the group consisting of acrylic polyols and polyester polyols; b) at least one rheological modifier; c) at least one solvent; d) at least one pigment; e) optionally, at least one microgel; f) optionally, at least one crosslinking agent; and g) at least one cellulose mixed ester. A wet-on-wet-on wet process is also provided. The process for coating a substrate comprises: a) applying a primer to said substrate to produce a primed substrate; b) applying a basecoat composition to said primed substrate while said primer is wet to produce a basecoated substrate; and c) applying a clearcoat composition to said basecoated substrate while said basecoat composition is wet and optionally said primer is wet to produce a coated substrate. Coated articles are also provided.

Basecoat coating compositions comprising low molecular weight cellulose mixed esters

Cellulose mixed esters are disclosed having low molecular weights and low degrees of polymerization. These new cellulose mixed esters include cellulose acetate propionate and cellulose acetate butyrate. The esters exhibit solubility in a wide range of organic solvents with minimal viscosity increase, are compatible with a wide variety of resins, and are useful in coatings and inks compositions as binder resins and rheology modifiers.

Low molecular weight cellulose mixed esters and their use as low viscosity binders and modifiers in coating compositions

An aqueous composition and method for applying additives to polymeric particles includes a water-dissipatable polyester derived from a dicarboxylic acid component and a diol component and a difunctional monomer containing a SO M moiety attached to an aromatic nucleus to at least partially disperse the additive. A method for dispersing a hydrophobic additive in an aqueous media includes the step of contacting the hydrophobic additive with an effective amount of the water-dissipatable polyester to form a mixture and agitating the mixture sufficiently to produce a homogenous blend is also described.
