Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is an improved method for coating a surface-porous substrate, e.g. an SMC substrate, with a film of curable coating composition and curing said film. The improvement comprises applying a film of the coating composition to the substrate wherein the coating composition comprises a phenol-functional compound and a multi-isocyanate curing agent therefor, and exposing the coated substrate to a vaporous tertiary amine catalyst to cure the applied film.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 24
Claim 1
Independent Claim
88 words
In a method for coating a surface-porous substrate of a fibrous-reinforced molding compound with a film of a curable primer coating composition and curing said film, the improvement which comprises: (A) applying said film of said coating composition to said substrate, said coating composition comprising: (1) an aromatic-hydroxyl functional compound; and (2) a multi-isocyanate curing agent; and (B) exposing said coated substrate to a vaporous tertiary amine catalyst to rapidly cure said applied film at room temperature, said vaporous catalyst cured film being substantially free of surface imperfections.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
88 words
In a method for coating a surface-porous substrate of a fibrous-reinforced molding compound with a film of a curable primer coating composition and curing said film, the improvement which comprises: (A) applying said film of said coating composition to said substrate, said coating composition comprising: (1) an aromatic-hydroxyl functional compound; and (2) a multi-isocyanate curing agent; and (B) exposing said coated substrate to a vaporous tertiary amine catalyst to rapidly cure said applied film at room temperature, said vaporous catalyst cured film being substantially free of surface imperfections.
