Abstract
Abstract Gloss in surface coating compositions is increased by admixing a sol or gel containing salt with a polymer and a surface coating paste stock. A novel surface coating composition containing a polymer and salt homogeneously distributed in the composition is prepared from the sol or gel and has increased specular gloss compared to a composition without the admixed sol or gel.
