Abstract

Abstract A coating composition that forms a high quality abrasion resistant finish for fiberglass reinforced plastic sinks and bathtubs contains as the binder 1. AN ACRYLIC GRAFT COPOLYMER HAVING ATTACHED TO ITS BACKBONE SIDE CHAIN ESTER UNITS CONTAINING REACTIVE HYDROXYL GROUPS; II. a polyester of two or more dicarboxylic acids or anhydrides, a glycidyl ester, a glycol and a triol; III. an alkylolated medium formaldehyde resin; and contains pigments in a pigment to binder ratio of 50:100 to 250:100 of a blend of a primer pigment such as titanium dioxide and an abrasive pigment of zirconium silicate.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim 25 words
about 9-25 percent, by equivalents, of a glycidyl ester having the formula wherein R3 is a tertiary hydrocarbon group having eight through 10 carbon atoms;
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 46 words
The coating composition of claim 1 having a binder content of 40-60 percent by weight and wherein the binder consists essentially of 40-50 percent by weight of the graft copolymer, 20-30 percent by weight of the polyester and 20-40 percent by weight of the melamine/formaldehyde resin.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 79 words
