Abstract
Abstract Curable compositions containing (1) an epoxy resin containing a plurality of active hydrogens and (2) and addition polymer of an isocyanatoalkyl ester of an +60, beta -ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid such as 2-isocyanatoethyl methacrylate are usefully employed as coatings for metal substrates and in other applications which require hard surface coatings exhibiting resistance to chemicals and light.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
82 words
A curable composition comprising (1) an epoxy resin containing at least two active hydrogen groups per molecule and (2) an addition polymer having a carbon-to-carbon polymeric backbone bearing at least two isocyanatoalkyl ester groups per molecule, said resin and polymer being present in proportions such that, upon exposure of the composition to conditions sufficient to cause the reaction of the isocyanate groups of the polymer with the active hydrogen groups of the resin, the composition cures to a water- and hydrocarbon-insoluble solid.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
82 words
A curable composition comprising (1) an epoxy resin containing at least two active hydrogen groups per molecule and (2) an addition polymer having a carbon-to-carbon polymeric backbone bearing at least two isocyanatoalkyl ester groups per molecule, said resin and polymer being present in proportions such that, upon exposure of the composition to conditions sufficient to cause the reaction of the isocyanate groups of the polymer with the active hydrogen groups of the resin, the composition cures to a water- and hydrocarbon-insoluble solid.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
58 words
The composition of claim 1 comprising (1) from about 5 to about 80 weight percent of the epoxy resin, (2) from about 5 to about 90 weight percent of a copolymer of an alkyl ester of acrylic or methacrylic acid and an isocyanatoalkyl ester of acrylic or methacrylic acid and (3) a catalytic amount of a urethane catalyst.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the epoxy resin is the reaction product of bisphenol-A and epichlorohydrin; the polymer is a copolymer of ethyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate and 2-isocyanatoethyl methacrylate; and the catalyst is lead octoate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the isocyanato group of the isocyanatoalkyl ester are blocked with an isocyanate blocking agent.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
16 words
The composition of claim 4 wherein the blocking agent is methylethyl ketone-oxime, ε-caprolactam or methyl salicylate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
51 words
A method for coating a substrate which comprises applying to a substrate a coating formulation which comprises the curable composition of claim 1 and subjecting the resulting coated substrate to conditions sufficient to cause the reaction of the isocyanate groups of the polymer with the active hydrogen groups of the resin.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
15 words
The composition of claim 1 which has been cured to a water- and hydrocarbon-insoluble solid.
