Abstract
A flexible, aminoplast-curable film-forming composition can serve as a transparent coating composition for a multi-component composite coating composition having the transparent coating on a pigmented or colored base coat. The film-forming composition comprises at least two polymeric components. One is a polyether polymer containing a plurality of terminal and/or pendant carbamate groups of the structure: ##STR1## Another is at least one additional carbamate functional polymer along with urethane oligomer or is a polyurethane polyol. The former include carbamate functional polyester, acrylic polymer, and polyurethane, where each contains a plurality of terminal and/or pendant carbamate groups of the Structure I depicted above. Also the urethane oligomers has a plurality of carbamate groups of Structure I that are pendant and/or terminal. The latter polyurethane polyol has a plurality of pendant and/or terminal hydroxyl groups and optionally can be used with the urethane polyol and/or any of the aforementioned carbamate functional polymers. Optionally an additional polymer that is present is an acrylic polymer containing a plurality of amide groups with or without a plurality of terminal and/or pendant carbamate groups of Structure I. Also with the presence of the amide functional acrylic polymer, silica can be employed. Additionally for crosslinking the film-forming composition contains an aminoplast crosslinking agent.
