Disclosed are waterborne, radiation-curable coating compositions. These coating compositions include a water-dispersible polymer and a hydrophobic multi-functional ethylenically unsaturated compound. The compositions are characterized by being viscosity stable at elevated temperatures and alkaline conditions.

Waterborne, radiation-curable coating compositions and related methods

Disclosed are vinyl ethers and related compositions. The vinyl ethers are the conjugate addition reaction product of reactants comprising a vinyl ether group-containing acrylic ester and a nucleophile.

Vinyl ethers and compositions containing them

A multilayer coating system is disclosed. The first layer is a thermally curable layer comprising one or more thermally curable groups and one or more radiation curable groups. The second layer comprises a radiation curable resin.

Multilayer coating system

A composition that includes a copolymer containing residues having the following structural units (I):where n is an integer from 1 to 10,000; Ris linear or branched Cto Calkyl; Ris selected from the group consisting of methyl, linear, cyclic, or branched Cto Calkyl, alkenyl, aryl, alkaryl, and aralkyl; and Ris a moiety comprising a group that is capable of undergoing a polymerization reaction when exposed to actinic radiation or ionizing radiation. The composition may be used to coat a substrate by providing a substrate; applying a layer of a radiation-curable composition that includes the copolymer described above over at least a portion of a surface of the substrate; and curing the radiation-curable composition by exposing the layer to actinic radiation in an amount sufficient to effect curing of the radiation-curable composition.

Radiation-curable compositions containing alternating copolymers of isobutylene-type monomers

An abrasion resistant coating composition having excellent wear clarity is disclosed. The coating composition comprises a unique blend of particles, including alumina that has been treated with an organosilane and silica that is either similarly treated or left untreated. The use of these particles in combination allows for a significant reduction in the weight percent of wear resistant particles that can impart a suitable level of abrasion resistance to a coating. The particles can be included, for example, in a urethane acrylate binder that can be cured using UV radiation. Methods for using these coatings are also disclosed.

Mineral-filled coatings having enhanced abrasion resistance and wear clarity and methods for using the same

Stains comprising a polymer, an initiator, a colorant and a solvent are disclosed. The polymer comprises an alkyd portion and a free radical curable portion that is pendant from the alkyd portion; the alkyd portion includes one or more fatty acid moieties that can be derived from one or more drying, semi-drying or nondrying oils. When drying or semi-drying oils are used, the molecules of the present invention exhibit a dual cure, both oxidative and free radical. The compositions are particularly suitable for staining substrates comprising wood. Methods for using the present compositions are also disclosed.
