Abstract
Golf ball comprising a colorless coating surrounding and adjacent to a TiOwhite-pigmented layer comprising a polymeric composition that comprises throughout: (i) passivated TiOparticulates amount of from about 1 wt. %-10 wt. % based on total weight of second polymeric composition; and (ii) silane-containing adhesion promoter(s), for example, organosilanes and/or organosiloxanes in an amount of from about 0.1 wt. % to about 5.0 wt. % of the total weight of the polymeric composition. The coating comprises a coating composition that is different than the polymeric composition and does not contain any silane-containing adhesion promoter; and there is no surface treatment with adhesion promoter at an interface between the colorless coating and TiOwhite-pigmented layer. In lieu of the colorless coating, the golf ball may include a coating that is clear tinted or translucent.
