Abstract:
A coating composition comprising aqueous medium-dispersed particles ofA) between about 80 and about 35 wt % of a first styrene-acrylic polymer formed of monomers, between about 50 and about 80 mole percent of which monomers are styrene or &agr;-methyl styrene, between about 2 and about 15 mole percent of which monomers are acrylonitrile, and between about 18 and about 48 mole percent of which are acrylic monomers selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, esters of acrylic acid, esters of methacrylic acid, and mixtures thereof, said first styrene-acrylic polymer having an acid number of about 15 or below and a glass transition temperature between about 20 and about 120 degrees C.; B) between about 30 and 35 wt % of an acrylic second polymer formed of monomers, at least about 90 mole percent of which monomers are acrylate monomers, balance other a,B-ethylenically unsaturated monomers, said acrylic. second polymer having an acid number between 0 and about 25 and a glass transition temperature between about 20 and about 120 degrees C.; and C) between about 30 and about 40 wt % of an acrylic-urethane hybrid polymer, said weight percentages based upon the total weight of A plus B plus C.
