The invention relates to a coating composition comprising an acetal-functional binder and a thiol-functional cross-linker, wherein the acetal-functional binder is represented by the following formula wherein P is a binder backbone, K is a divalent and/or trivalent organic moiety having 1 to 30 carbon atoms and having one or two links to the binder backbone, A is selected from oxygen, sulphur, and NR, wherein Ris hydrogen or an alkyl group with 1 to 4 carbon atoms, m is an integer from 1 to 50, n is an integer from 1 to 10, and R and R' may be the same or different and represent alkyl groups with 1 to 4 carbon atoms. In a further aspect, the invention relates to acetal-functional binders, acetal-functional monomers, a process for the preparation of said monomers, coating compositions comprising said acetal-functional binders, and to a process for the preparation of a coating composition comprising an acetal-functional polyurethane dispersion and a thiol-functional cross-linker.

Coating composition comprising an acetal-functional binder

The invention pertains to a coating composition comprising a compound comprising at least one spiro-ortho silicate group and a hydroxyl-reactive cross-linker, to a process for curing the composition, and to the use of the composition. The coating composition of the current invention can be formulated to a coating composition having a low content of volatile organic solvents, is curable at a temperature as low as 5&#xb0; C., and the cured coating composition of the current invention is essentially free of unreacted low-molecular weight blocking agents. Further, the pot life: drying time ratio of coating compositions according to the invention is particularly favorable.

Coating composition comprising a compound comprising a spiro-ortho silicate group

The invention pertains to a coating composition comprising a compound comprising at least one bicyclo-orthoester group and at least one other functional group. The invention also comprises a process for curing the present coating composition. Further, a process for making a bicyclo-orthoester-functional compound from the corresponding oxetane compound is described.

Aqueous cross-linkable binder composition and its use in the production of lacquer coatings

The invention pertains to a coating composition comprising a first compound comprising at least one bicyclo- or spiro-orthoester group and a second compound comprising at least two hydroxyl-reactive groups. The invention also comprises a process for curing the present coating composition. More particularly, the latent hydroxyl groups of the bicyclo- or spiro-orthoester groups have to be deblocked and reacted with the hydroxyl-reactive groups of the second compound if the present coating composition is to be cured. Further, a process for making bicyclo-orthoester compounds from the corresponding oxetane compound is described, as are polymers comprising at least one bicyclo- or spiro-orthoester group.

Coating composition comprising a bicyclo- or spiro-orthoester functional compound

Proposed is a thermosetting powder coating composition comprising a mixture of particles reactive towards one another and a catalyst, with a portion of the reactive particles comprising a polymer reacting with epoxy to form ester forming or ether forming groups, while another portion comprises an at least bifunctional cross-linking agent which contains 2-oxo-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl groups, hereinafter referred to as cyclocarbonate groups, and, optionally, epoxy groups, with both the polymer reacting with epoxy to form ester forming and/or ether forming groups and the cross-linking agent being obtained by means of a non-vinylic addition and/or polymerization process. The catalyst used as ring opener for the cyclocarbonate groups is present in a quantity of 0.01 to 10, preferably 0.1 to 5, parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the mixture of particles reactive towards one another. The quantity of epoxy oxygen present in the cross-linking agent after CO.sub.2 unblocking preferably is at least 0.4 wt. %. The reactive polymer preferably is a polymer containing groups reactive towards epoxy such as carboxyl, anhydride and/or hydroxyl groups, with preference being given to polyesters and/or polyurethanes.
