Abstract:
A coating composition comprising(a) a reactive component which is substantially free of any heteroatoms and is not a crystalline solid at room temperature comprising (i) from 12 to 72 carbon atoms, and (ii) at least two functional groups, and comprises a mixture of two or more structures selected from the group consisting of aliphatic structures for reactive component (a), aromatic-containing structures for reactive component (a), cycloaliphatic-containing structures for reactive component (a), and mixtures thereof, wherein at least one of the two or more structures is either a cycloaliphatic-containing structure or an aromatic-containing structure, and (b) a crosslinking agent comprising a plurality of functional groups (iii) reactive with the functional groups (ii) of reactive compound (a), wherein functional groups (ii) and (iii) are selected such that reaction between them produces a thermally irreversible chemical linkage.
