Abstract
Abstract A coating composition is provided in which the film-forming material consists of (a) 30 - 85% by volume of disperse phase particles of size 0.01 - 20 microns, of which not less than 50% are polymer microparticles, stably dispersed in (b)70-15% by volume of a liquid continuous phase which is capable of curing by a condensation polymerisation reaction, the total volume of components (a) and (b) being 100% and the disperse phase being capable of taking part in the curing reaction. The composition can have a very high solids content and makes possible the production of thick films free from surface shrinkage.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
A coating composition in which the film-forming material consists of:- (a) from 30% to 85% by volume of disperse phase consisting of particles having a size or size distribution in the range 0.01 - 20 microns, not less than 50% by volume of those particles being polymer microparticles, and the disperse phase being in a state of stable dispersion as hereinbefore defined in (b) from 70% to 15% by volume of a liquid continuous phase which is capable of curing to a film-forming polymeric material by means of a condensation polymerisation reaction, the total volume of components (a) and (b) being 100% and the disperse phase being capable of taking part in the said condensation polymerisation reaction.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
117 words
A coating composition in which the film-forming material consists of:- (a) from 30% to 85% by volume of disperse phase consisting of particles having a size or size distribution in the range 0.01 - 20 microns, not less than 50% by volume of those particles being polymer microparticles, and the disperse phase being in a state of stable dispersion as hereinbefore defined in (b) from 70% to 15% by volume of a liquid continuous phase which is capable of curing to a film-forming polymeric material by means of a condensation polymerisation reaction, the total volume of components (a) and (b) being 100% and the disperse phase being capable of taking part in the said condensation polymerisation reaction.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
81 words
A composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein the disperse phase particles are stably dispersed in the continuous phase liquid by means of a graft copolymer dispersing agent comprising as one type of polymeric component a polymer backbone which is not solvated by the continuous phase liquid and is capable of becoming anchored to the polymer microparticles and as another type of polymeric component a plurality of polymer chains pendant from the backbone which are solvatable by the continuous phase liquid.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
46 words
A composition as claimed in claim 1 or claim 2, wherein the stable dispersion of the polymer microparticles is obtained by dispersion polymerisation of suitable monomers in the presence of the dispersing agent, in a volatile, inert organic liquid in which the microparticles produced are insoluble.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
A composition as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the polymer microparticles are composed of a crosslinked polyester.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
A composition as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 4, wherein the film-forming material present in the continuous phase liquid comprises a melamine-formaldehyde resin.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
65 words
A composition as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 5, wherein the continuous phase liquid contains, in addition to the film-forming material, one or more reactive liquid constituents which are not in themselves capable of curing by a condensation polymerisation reaction but are compatible with the said film-forming material and contain groups which can participate in the curing thereof by the said reaction.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
32 words
A composition as claimed in claim 6, wherein the continuous phase liquid comprises mainly a melamine-formaldehyde resin and the reactive liquid is a relatively low molecular weight compound containing free hydroxyl groups.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
64 words
A composition as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 4, wherein the continuous phase of the composition is obtained by the admixture, shortly before the composition is to be applied to a substrate, of two liquid constituents which are mutually reactive to form a film by means of a condensation polymerisation reaction but which are not individually capable of curing and film-formation.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
26 words
A composition as claimed in any'one of claims 1 to 8, wherein the continuous phase liquid has a viscosity in the range 0.1 to 25 poise.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
68 words
A composition as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 8, wherein, in addition to the disperse phase (a) and the liquid continuous phase (b), there is present up to 3 0 % by weight, based on the total composition, of an inert liquid diluent which is a solvent for the continuous phase and which volatilises under the conditions of application of the composition to a substrate.
