Abstract
The present invention provides an ambient temperature curable coating and coated articles therefrom in a rubbery, high elongation, weatherable coating composition which can be applied to flexible elastomeric substrates for a variety of purposes. Depending on the film forming polymer used in the composition, it may be used to provide resistance to ozone, oils and solvents, or the coating may be applied for the purposes of enhancing the cosmetic appearance of the substrate rubber. The curable coating mixture is a mixture of two parts, one part containing a solution of a functional film forming polymer, and the other part providing the curing component. The stability as a premixed, one-part solution is limited to up to several months. The curable film former and curing component are mixed together at an overall 4% to 25% solids content. The viscosity is less than 20,000 cps (Brookfield) such that the coating can be sprayed, brushed or dipped to form thin coatings of from 0.001-0.020 mils.
