Definitions

• the present invention relates to a coating composition that is fast curing at ambient temperature (touch dry in less than 2 hours at 25° C.) with a high solids content (>70% by weight) and a low VOC ( ⁇ 250 grams solvent per liter of the composition, g/l) which can be used in durable protective coatings.
• Coating compositions generally need to contain a polymer to confer film-forming properties, but any polymer used needs to be of sufficient molecular weight to give the required low viscosity, particularly after pigmentation as a paint. Such low-viscosity polymers often require long curing times to develop satisfactory mechanical properties, especially when cured at low temperature.
• WO 98/04594 a process is disclosed for the preparation of a curable polymer composition by polymerisation of a functional olefinically unsaturated monomer in the presence of a reactive diluent which is a liquid organic compound of viscosity less than 2 Pa.s (20 Poise) having at least one functional group which is substantially non-reactive with the functional olefinically unsaturated monomer and which is capable of reacting with a curing agent to form a polymer network.

No. 4,446,259 discloses a coating composition having a liquid carrier and a binder which is a blend of an olefinically unsaturated polymer containing glycidyl groups and a crosslinkable polysiloxane having attached to the silicone atoms of its backbone alkyl, phenyl, and hydroxyl groups. These compositions are used as ambient temperature curing protective coatings. The major drawback of these compositions is the presence of a relatively large amount of organic solvent in the composition.

• the coating resin compositions on average have a solid content in the range of 40-50% by weight. Consequently, these coating compositions have a VOC well above 250 g/l.

• R1 and R2 groups having more than six carbon atoms tend to retard or slow the crosslinking of the polysiloxane due to the relatively low volatility of each alcohol analogue.
• Methoxy-, ethoxy-, and silanol-functional polysiloxanes having number average molecular weights in the range of about 400 to about 2000 are preferred for formulating coating compositions according to present invention.
• Methoxy-, ethoxy-, and silanol-functional polysiloxanes having molecular weights of less than 400 would produce a coating composition that would be brittle and offer poor impact resistance.
• Any liquid methoxy-, ethoxy-, and silanol-functional polysiloxane with a molecular weight above 400 can be used, though it is preferred to use polysiloxanes with a molecular weight of less than 2000, as they enable the production of compositions that require few if any additional solvents to achieve application viscosity, i.e. which can be used without adding solvent in excess of current volatile organic content (VOC) requirements.
