This invention relates to aliphatic, carbamate-functional polyester resins for use in coatings. More particularly this invention relates to aliphatic, carbamate-functional polyester resins containing 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol (TMCD) that exhibit improved scratch resistance and acid etch resistance when formulated into 2K automotive clearcoats. These carbamate-functional polyesters can be used as the sole resin in the clearcoat binder or in combination with other carbamate-functional acrylic resins and/or hydroxyl-functional acrylic and polyester resins.

Thermosetting coating composition with improved scratch resistance

This invention relates to aliphatic polyester resins for use in coatings. More particularly this invention relates to aliphatic polyester resins containing 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol (TMCD) that exhibit improved scratch resistance when formulated into 1 K automotive clearcoats. These polyesters can be used as the sole resin in the clearcoat binder or in combination with carbamate-functional acrylic resins and/or hydroxyl-functional acrylic and polyester resins.

Coatings with improved scratch resistance

This invention relates to a carbamate functional thermosetting coating with a composition comprised of a carbamate-functional acrylic and/or polyester polyol and an alkylated melamine-formaldehyde cross linker modified by an aliphatic polyester and an alkylated melamine. The polyester polyol is made of monomers including a 2,4,4-tetraalkylcyclobutane-1,3-diol and an aliphatic diacid. These polyester polyols can be used in blends with hydroxyl-functional or carbamate-functional acrylic resins or serve as the primary film former in a coating formulation.

Scratch resistant thermosetting coating compositions

Disclosed are aliphatic polyester resins containing specific molar quantities of 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol, and solvent borne, thermosetting monocoating compositions prepared therefrom. The aliphatic polyesters exhibit good hardness and flexibility when formulated into thermosetting coatings compositions.

1,3-diketoamide functional polymers and compositions employing the same

Disclosed are aliphatic polyester resins containing 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclo-butanediol and solvent borne, thermosetting coating compositions prepared therefrom. The aliphatic polyesters exhibit good hardness and flexibility when formulated into thermosetting coatings compositions.

Disclosed are solvent borne thermosetting coating compositions containing curable, aliphatic polyesters, acrylic copolymers, crosslinkers, and nonaqueous solvents. The aliphatic polyesters contain 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol. Blends of acrylic copolymers with these aliphatic polyesters exhibit good compatibility, viscosity reduction, and good Tg retention. Coating compositions formulated from these blends exhibit high gloss, hardness with flexibility; solvent and chemical resistance; and outdoor durability.

Coating compositions containing acrylic and aliphatic polyester blends

Acetoacetate-functional monomers are disclosed that correspond to the following formula 1: 

Acetoacetate-functional monomers and their uses in coating compositions

Disclosed are solvent borne thermosetting coating compositions that contain a curable polyester resin blended with an acrylic copolymer, a crosslinker, and a solvent. The polyester resin contains 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol and exhibits good dry time, compatibility with acrylic resins, sag resistance and hardness development in a coating composition. The coating compositions can be used to prepare clear coat or pigmented coatings for automotive OEM, auto refinish, and other applications.

Coating compositions containing tetramethyl cyclobutanediol

Disclosed are polyester resins and solvent borne thermosetting coating compositions that include these resins in combination with at least one crosslinker. The polyester resins contain 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol and exhibit a combination of good solubility in organic solvents and high hardness with good flexibility in a coating composition.

Thermosetting polyester coating compositions containing tetramethyl cyclobutanediol

This invention relates to a cosmetic film forming composition which is especially useful as a nail coating composition which upon drying forms a film which will adhere to keratin of a nail. More particularly, the present invention relates to cosmetic film forming compositions which consist of aqueous emulsion (A) which comprises a sulfopolyester and a copolymer of vinyl acetate and dialkyl maleate, and aqueous emulsion (B) which comprises an aqueous emulsion of acetoacetoxyethyl alkylacrylate or the reaction product of acetoacetoxyethyl alkylacrylate with a vinylfunctional monomer. These cosmetic film forming compositions are fast drying, have good adhesive properties and are environmentally compatible.
