Abstract

Abstract A two-package urethane forming coating composition comprises a hydroxyl-bearing polymer having ethylenic unsaturation dispersed in fugitive solvent; and a multi-isocyanate dispersed in fugitive solvent. The coating composition cures by heating with an in situ reaction of the hydroxyl-isocyanate reaction in combination with an in situ free-radical addition polymerization through the ethylenic unsaturation.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim 141 words
A two-package, urethane-forming coating composition formulated by combining said two packages, an applied film of said coating composition being curable upon heating to form a heat-cured urethane film, which comprises: said first package comprising a hydroxyl-bearing polymer having ethylenic unsaturation and having a molecular weight not substantially greater than about 3,000, and said polymer being dispersed in fugitive organic solvent; and said second package comprising a multi-isocyanate compound having a multiplicity of isocyanate groups and being dispersed in fugitive organic solvent, the total proportion of said fugitive solvents in both said packages being not substantially greater than about 30% by volume of said coating composition, said applied film of said coating composition curable upon heating by in situ formation of urethane linkages by the hydroxyl-isocyanate reaction in combination with in situ free-radical addition polymerization through said ethylenic unsaturation of said polymer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 141 words
A two-package, urethane-forming coating composition formulated by combining said two packages, an applied film of said coating composition being curable upon heating to form a heat-cured urethane film, which comprises: said first package comprising a hydroxyl-bearing polymer having ethylenic unsaturation and having a molecular weight not substantially greater than about 3,000, and said polymer being dispersed in fugitive organic solvent; and said second package comprising a multi-isocyanate compound having a multiplicity of isocyanate groups and being dispersed in fugitive organic solvent, the total proportion of said fugitive solvents in both said packages being not substantially greater than about 30% by volume of said coating composition, said applied film of said coating composition curable upon heating by in situ formation of urethane linkages by the hydroxyl-isocyanate reaction in combination with in situ free-radical addition polymerization through said ethylenic unsaturation of said polymer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 14 words
The coating composition of claim 1 wherein said hydroxyl-bearing polymer is a polyol-bearing polymer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 46 words
The coating composition of claim 1 wherein a portion of said fugitive solvent of package one is replaced with an ethlenically unsaturated diluent reactive with said ethylenic unsaturation of said hydroxyl-bearing polymer and at least a portion of said diluent cures into said film upon heating.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 18 words
The coating composition of claim 3 wherein said ethylenically unsaturated diluent is an acrylic and/or allyl functional diluent.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 47 words
The coating composition of claim 1 wherein a portion of said fugitive solvent of package two is replaced with a non-hydroxyl-bearing ethylenically unsaturated diluent reactive with said ethylenic unsaturation of said hydroxyl-bearing polymer and at least a portion of said diluent cures into said film upon heating.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 19 words
The coating composition of claim 5 wherein said non-hydroxyl-bearing ethylenically unsaturated diluent is an acrylic and/or allyl functional diluent.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 35 words
The coating composition of claim 1 wherein the total of said fugitive solvent in said coating composition is sufficient so that the viscosity of said coating composition is not substantially greater than about 500 centipoises.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 17 words
The coating composition of claim 7 wherein said viscosity is between about 50 and about 500 centipoises.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 17 words

Claim 11
Dependent Claim 21 words
A substrate having the coating composition of claim 1 coated thereon as a film and said film having been heat cured.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 138 words
A process for coating a substrate with a film of a two-package heat-curable, urethane-forming coating composition which comprises: applying said coating composition to said substrate, said coating composition comprising: a first package of a hydroxyl-bearing polymer having ethylenic unsaturation and having a molecular weight not substantially greater than about 3,000, said polymer being dispersed in fugitive organic solvent; and a second package of a multi-isocyanate compound having a multiplicity of isocyanate groups and being dispersed in fugitive organic solvent, the total proportion of said fugitive solvents being not substantially greater than about 30% by volume of said coating composition; and heating said coated substrate to cure said film of said coating composition by in situ formation of urethane linkages by the hydroxyl-isocyanate reaction in combination with in situ free-radical addition polymerization through said ethylenic unsaturation of said polymer.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 138 words
A process for coating a substrate with a film of a two-package heat-curable, urethane-forming coating composition which comprises: applying said coating composition to said substrate, said coating composition comprising: a first package of a hydroxyl-bearing polymer having ethylenic unsaturation and having a molecular weight not substantially greater than about 3,000, said polymer being dispersed in fugitive organic solvent; and a second package of a multi-isocyanate compound having a multiplicity of isocyanate groups and being dispersed in fugitive organic solvent, the total proportion of said fugitive solvents being not substantially greater than about 30% by volume of said coating composition; and heating said coated substrate to cure said film of said coating composition by in situ formation of urethane linkages by the hydroxyl-isocyanate reaction in combination with in situ free-radical addition polymerization through said ethylenic unsaturation of said polymer.
