Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a method for light-assisted curing of coatings by providing coatings with an enamine content sufficient to enhance the cure rate of the coatings. The coatings exhibit improved weatherability and gloss retention when exposed to light.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
109 words
A process of preparing a cured coating on a surface comprising a) mixing a vinyl polymer having acetoacetyl functional groups with an amount of ammonia or primary amine sufficient to convert the acetoacetyl groups to enamine, b) storing the mixture for a period sufficient to allow the reactants to equilibrate, c) adding a sufficient amount of ammonia or primary amine to raise the pH to about 9, d) maintaining the pH at about 9 until the coating is applied to the substrate, (e) applying the coating to a substrate, and (f) exposing the coated substrate to ultraviolet light for a time sufficient to produce the desired degree of cure.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
109 words
A process of preparing a cured coating on a surface comprising a) mixing a vinyl polymer having acetoacetyl functional groups with an amount of ammonia or primary amine sufficient to convert the acetoacetyl groups to enamine, b) storing the mixture for a period sufficient to allow the reactants to equilibrate, c) adding a sufficient amount of ammonia or primary amine to raise the pH to about 9, d) maintaining the pH at about 9 until the coating is applied to the substrate, (e) applying the coating to a substrate, and (f) exposing the coated substrate to ultraviolet light for a time sufficient to produce the desired degree of cure.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
97 words
A process for preparing a coating with improved exterior durability comprising a) mixing a vinyl polymer having acetoacetyl functional groups with an amount of ammonia or primary amine sufficient to convert the acetoacetyl groups to enamine, b) storing the mixture for a period sufficient to allow the reactants to equilibrate, c) adding a sufficient amount of ammonia or primary amine to raise the pH to about 9, and d) maintaining the pH at about 9 until the coating is applied to the substrate, e) applying the coating to a substrate, f) exposing the coating to visible radiation.
Claim 4
