Abstract:
A thermosetting coating composition comprising:(a) a first reactant having functional groups;(b) a second reactant having functional groups that are co-reactive with the functional groups of said first reactant; and(c) a polymeric flow control agent prepared by controlled radical polymerization and comprising,(i) a first block containing residues of at least one first ethylenically unsaturated radically polymerizable monomer that is free of hydroxy functionality;(ii) a second block containing residues of at least one second ethylenically unsaturated radically polymerizable monomer that is free of hydroxy functionality; wherein said second monomer has a calculated Tg of at least 20.degree. C. greater than the calculated Tg of said first monomer.
