Abstract:
A low gloss crosslinkable coating composition that produces a low gloss coating upon cure comprising:(a) a binder component which comprises a combination of at least two partially compatible crosslinkable components retained in an evaporable medium, whereby said low gloss coating exhibits a 60Â° specular gloss that is at least 5% lower than gloss of coatings from coating compositions containing any one of said crosslinkable components, and â€ƒwherein the first of said crosslinkable components in said combination is: (v) a polar polymer selected from the group consisting of a polar acrylic polymer having at least two crosslinkable functionalities, a polar polyester having at least two crosslinkable functionalities, polar polyurethane having at least two crosslinkable functionalities and a combination thereof; and â€ƒwherein second of said crosslinkable components in said combination is: (vi) a non-polar silane polymer, non-polar acrylic polymer having at least two crosslinkable functionalities, non-polar polyester having at least two crosslinkable functionalities, non-polar polyurethane having at least two crosslinkable functionalities or a combination thereof; and (b) a crosslinking agent selected from the group consisting of monomeric melamine, polymeric melamine, polyisocyanate, and blocked polyisocyanate.
