Description: CURABLE POLYURETHANES. COATINGS PREPARED THEREFROM, AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION This application claims priority from provisional U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 60/234,640, filed September 22, 2000, and is related to U.S. Patent Application Nos. 09/611 ,051 and 09/668,085, filed July 6, 2000 and September 22, 2000, respectively, which are Continuations-ln-Part of U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 09/309,851 , filed May 11 , 1999, now U.S. Patent No. 6,248,225B1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to a curable polyurethane material, coatings prepared therefrom, and methods of making the same. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Coating formulations find use in various industries including the coating and/or painting of motor vehicles. In these industries, and in the automotive industry in particular, considerable efforts have been expended to develop coating compositions with improved performance properties. In the automotive industry, for example, numerous approaches have been advanced to achieve improved chip resistance and corrosion protection. These efforts have included, for example, applying up to 6 or more individually applied coating layers over the substrate by one or more coating methods. These coatings may be applied by either electrophoretic or non- electrophoretic coating methods. Electrodeposition has become increasingly important in the coatings industry because, by comparison with non- electrophoretic coating means, electrodeposition offers higher paint utilization, outstanding corrosion protection, low environmental contamination, and a highly automated process. Generally, cationic electrodeposited coatings provide better corrosion resistance than anionic electrodeposited coatings. Non-electrophoretic coatings, such as sprayable coatings, however, are still widely used throughout the coatings industry because of the relatively low equipment and operating costs associated therewith. Such efforts have resulted in increased protection of the surface of the substrate and reduced paint loss through chipping when the substrate of the vehicle is hit with solid debris such as gravel and stones. By reducing the difference in impact energy between multiple coating layers, it is believed that chip resistance of the overall coating can be improved, especially for coatings in which the respective coating layers have excessive differences in hardness. It is believed that reducing the hardness differential can lessen delamination between the coating layers such as between the undercoat, an intermediate coat, and a topcoat or an undercoat and an intermediate coat. In U.S. Patent No. 5,047,294, this differential is said to be reduced by applying a crosslinked polyurethane resin filler composition between coating layers to improve intercoat adhesion. The filler composition includes a water- dispersible polymer derived from polyisocyanates, high and low molecular weight polyols, compounds reactive with the isocyanate, and monofunctional or active hydrogen-containing compounds. Anhydrides of carboxylic acids, such as trimellitic acid, are disclosed as useful to form the high molecular weight polyol. The coating formulation is typically applied as an intermediate coat between the primer and the topcoat to even out irregularities present in the primer, and improve the overall stone-chip resistance of the coating. In U.S. Patent No. 5,674,560, a chip resistant polyolefin type of primer is spray applied over a cationic or anionic electrodeposited coated film before application of a soft intermediate polyester film. The reduction of the differential in impact energy is reportedly maximized when the polyolefin primer is applied over the softer anionic electrodeposited film as opposed to a cationic electrodeposited film. Even though electrophoretic coatings can provide many advantages over non-electrophoretic coatings, improvements to each are still sought because of the widespread use of both. Accordingly, the need exists for a polyurethane material useful in coating compositions that can and may be applied to the substrate by electrophoretic and non-electrophoretic coating methods.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Other than in the operating examples, or unless otherwise expressly specified, all of the numerical ranges, amounts, values and percentages such as those for amounts of materials, times and temperatures of reaction, ratios of amounts, values for molecular weight (whether number average molecular weight ("M n ") or weight average molecular weight ("M w ")), and others in the following portion of the specification may be read as if prefaced by the word "about" even though the term "about" may not expressly appear with the value, amount or range. Accordingly, unless indicated to the contrary, the numerical parameters set forth in the following specification and attached claims are approximations that may vary depending upon the desired properties sought to be obtained by the present invention. At the very least, and not as an attempt to limit the application of the doctrine of equivalents to the scope of the claims, each numerical parameter should at least be construed in light of the number of reported significant digits and by applying ordinary rounding techniques. Notwithstanding that the numerical ranges and parameters setting forth the broad scope of the invention are approximations, the numerical values set forth in the specific examples are reported as precisely as possible. Any numerical value, however, inherently contain certain errors necessarily resulting from the standard deviation found in their respective testing measurements. Furthermore, when numerical ranges of varying scope are set forth herein, it is contemplated that any combination of these values inclusive of the recited values may be used. Any numeric references to amounts, unless otherwise specified, are "by weight". The term "equivalent weight" is a calculated value based on the relative amounts of the various ingredients used in making the specified material and is based on the solids of the specified material. The relative amounts are those that result in the theoretical weight in grams of the material, like a polymer, produced from the ingredients and give a theoretical number of the particular functional group that is present in the resulting polymer. The theoretical polymer weight is divided by the theoretical number of equivalents of urethane/urea groups to give the equivalent weight. For example, urethane/urea equivalent weight is based on the equivalents of urethane and urea groups in the polyurethane/urea material. As used herein, the term "polymer" is meant to refer to oligomers and both homopolymers and copolymers. Also, as used herein, the term "polyurethane material" is meant to include polyurethanes, polyureas, and mixtures thereof. Also for molecular weights, whether M n or M w , these quantities are determined by gel permeation chromatography using polystyrene as standards as is well known to those skilled in the art and such as is discussed in U.S. Patent No. 4,739,019 at column 4, lines 2-45, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. As used herein "based on total weight of the resin solids" of the composition means that the amount of the component added during the formation of the composition is based upon the total weight of the resin solids (non-volatiles) of the film forming materials, polyurethanes, cross-linkers, and polymers present during the formation of the composition, but not including any water, solvent, or any additive solids such as hindered amine stabilizers, photoinitiators, pigments including extender pigments and fillers, flow modifiers, catalysts, and UV light absorbers. As used herein, "formed from" denotes open, e.g., "comprising," claim language. As such, it is intended that a composition "formed from" a list of recited components be a composition comprising at least these recited components, and can further comprise other nonrecited components during the composition's formation. As used herein, the term "cure" as used in connection with a composition, e.g., "a curable polyurethane material", "a cured composition," shall mean that any crosslinkable components of the composition are at least partially crosslinked. In certain embodiments of the present invention, the crosslink density of the crosslinkable components, i.e., the degree of crosslinking, ranges from 5% to 100% of complete crosslinking. In other embodiments, the crosslink density ranges from 35% to 85% of full crosslinking. In other embodiments, the crosslink density ranges from 50% to 85% of full crosslinking. One skilled in the art will understand that the presence and degree of crosslinking, i.e., the crosslink density, can be determined by a variety of methods, such as dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) using a TA Instruments DMA 2980 DMTA analyzer conducted under nitrogen. This method determines the glass transition temperature and crosslink density of free films of coatings or polymers. These physical properties of a cured material are related to the structure of the crosslinked network. The average particle size can be measured according to known laser scattering techniques. For example, the average particle size of such particles is measured using a Horiba Model LA 900 laser diffraction particle size instrument, which uses a helium-neon laser with a wave length of 633 nm to measure the size of the particles and assumes the particle has a spherical shape, i.e., the "particle size" refers to the smallest sphere that will completely enclose the particle. As used herein, "TOUGHNESS TEST METHOD" refers to test procedures for determining tensile properties of polymeric materials based upon a modified form of ASTM # D 2370-92, entitled "Standard Test Method for Tensile Properties of Organic Coatings" (1992), incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. Relative to ASTM # D 2370-92, The TOUGHNESS TEST METHOD provides for the preparation of flexible coatings that are cured at relatively low temperatures (less than about 100°C) using a non- adhering substrate such as polypropylene, polyvinylfluoride, or Teflon™. A liquid coating is applied to the substrate (spray or wire bar) and is thereafter cured or aged. The coating is then cut into a 1 " x 4" free film sample size, and peeled from the substrate. But for these modifications, the TOUGHNESS TEST METHOD" incorporates the same testing procedures as ASTM # D 2370-92. The present invention is directed to a curable polyurethane material, coatings prepared therefrom, and methods of making the same. The curable polyurethane material may be formed from the reaction product of components comprising at least one polyisocyanate, at least one active hydrogen-containing material, at least one polymeric polyamine, such as a polyoxyalkylene polyamine, at least one material having at least one primary or secondary amino group and at least one hydroxyl group, and at least one acid functional material or anhydride having a functional group reactive with isocyanate or hydroxyl groups of other components from which the polyurethane material is formed. Preferably, the polyurethane material is capable of self-crosslinking, i.e., it contains reactive groups which are capable of reacting with each other to form a crosslinked network. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, an isocyanate group and a hydroxyl group are capable of reacting with each other to form a crosslinked network. Suitable polyisocyanates used for preparing the polyurethane material include aliphatical, cycloaliphatical, araliphatical, and/or aromatic isocyanates, and mixtures thereof. Preferably, the polyisocyanate is aliphatic or cycloaliphatic. Examples of useful aliphatic and cycloaliphatic polyisocyanates include 4,4-methylenebisdicyclohexyl diisocyanate (hydrogenated MDI), hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), methylenebis(cyclohexyl isocyanate), trimethyl hexamethylene diisocyanate (TMDI), meta-tetramethylxylylene diisocyanate (TMXDI), and cyclohexylene diisocyanate (hydrogenated XDI). Other aliphatic polyisocyanates include isocyanurates of IPDI and HDI. Examples of suitable aromatic polyisocyanates include tolylene diisocyanate (TDI) (i.e., 2,4-tolylene diisocyanate, 2,6-tolylene diisocyanate or a mixture thereof), diphenylmethane-4,4-diisocyanate (MDI), naphthalene- 1 ,5-diisocyanate (NDI), 3,3-dimethyl-4,4-biphenylene diisocyanate (TODI), crude TDI (i.e., a mixture of TDI and an oligomer thereof), polymethylenepolyphenyl polyisocyanate, crude MDI (i.e., a mixture of MDI and an oligomer thereof), xylylene diisocyanate (XDI) and phenylene diisocyanate. Polyisocyanate derivatives prepared from hexamethylene diisocyanate, 1-isocyanato-3,3,5-trimethyl-5-isocyanatomethylcyclohexane ("IPDI"), including isocyanurates thereof, and/or 4,4'- bis(isocyanatocyclohexyl)methane are suitable. The amount of polyisocyanate used to prepare the polyurethane material generally ranges from about 10 to about 60 percent by weight, preferably about 20 to about 50 percent by weight, and more preferably about 30 to about 45 percent by weight based on total weight of the resin solids used to prepare the polyurethane material. The components from which the polyurethane material is formed comprise at least one active hydrogen-containing material. The term "active hydrogen" means those groups that are reactive with isocyanates as determined by the Zerewitnoff test as is described in the JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY, Vol. 49, page 3181 (1927). Preferably, the active hydrogens are polyols. Nonlimiting examples of suitable active hydrogen-containing materials comprise polyols, polyethers, polyesters, polycarbonates, polyamides, polyurethanes, polyureas, and mixtures thereof. Preferably, the active hydrogen-containing material does not include acid functional groups. In one embodiment, the active hydrogen-containing material may be one or more low molecular weight polyols such as those having two to four hydroxyl groups. The weight average molecular weight of the low molecular weight polyol is typically less than 3000, and is preferably less than 700, and may be between 60 and 250 grams per mole. Examples of suitable low molecular weight polyols include diols, triols, and tetraols having 1 to 10 carbon atoms such as ethylene glycol, 1 ,2-propylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol, trimethylolpropane (preferred), ditrimethylolpropane, trimethylolethane, glycerol, pentaerythritol and sorbitol. Examples of other low molecular weight polyols are ether polyols such as diethylene glycol and ethoxylated bisphenol A. The low molecular weight polyols can be used in amounts of up to about 50 percent by weight, and preferably from about 2 to about 50 percent based on the total weight of the resin solids used to prepare the polyurethane material. In another embodiment, the active hydrogen-containing material can comprise one or more active hydrogen-containing material. These materials preferably have an average active hydrogen functionality ranging from about 2 to 8, preferably from about 2 to 4, as determined by the Zerewitnoff test. The weight average molecular weight of the active hydrogen-containing material preferably ranges from about 400 to 10,000, more preferably from 400 to 3,000 grams per mole. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the active hydrogen-containing material is preferably about -120°C to about 50°C, and more preferably about 0°C or less. Polyether polyols and polyester polyols are preferred. Glass transition temperature (Tg) (°C) is determined using a Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC), for example a Perkin Elmer Series 7 Differential Scanning Calorimeter, using a temperature range of about -55°C to about 150°C and a scanning rate of about 20°C per minute. The Tg for many polyethers is available in the literature. Also helpful in determining the Tg is the Clash-Berg method, described in Advances in Polyurethane Technology, Burst et al., Wiley & Sons, 1968, pages 88ff. Examples of polyether polyols include polyalkylene ether (poly(oxyalkylene)) polyols which include those having the following structural formula: wherein the substituent R is hydrogen or lower alkyl containing from 1 to 5 carbon atoms including mixed substituents, m is an integer from 1 to 4, preferably 1 or 2, and n is an integer typically ranging from 5 to 200.

I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, LaPorte, Texas, poly(oxyethylene) glycols, poly(oxy- 1 ,2-propylene) glycols and the reaction products of ethylene glycol with a mixture of 1,2-propylene oxide and ethylene oxide. These materials are obtained by the polymerization of alkylene oxides such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and tetrahydrofuran. Also, polyethers obtained from the oxyalkylation of various polyols, for example, diols such as 1,6-hexanediol or higher polyols such as trimethylolpropane and sorbitol can be used. One commonly utilized oxyalkylation method is by reacting a polyol with alkylene oxide such as ethylene or propylene oxide in the presence of an acidic or basic catalyst in a manner well known to those skilled in the art. Examples of other active hydrogen-containing polyethers are polymeric polyamines such as polyether polyamines. Preferred polyether polyamines include polyoxyalkylene polyamines. In the practice of the invention, where the expression "polyoxyalkylene polyamines" is used, what is intended are polyamines containing both oxyalkylene groups and at least two amine groups, preferably primary amine groups, per molecule. An example of a preferred polyoxyalkylene polyamine is represented by the following structural formula: H 7 N — O- (C) n — O (C)„ NH, wherein m can range from 0 to about 50, n can range from about 1 to about 50, n' can range from about 1 to about 50, x can range from about 1 to about 50, y can range from 0 to about 50 and R^ through R 6 can be the same or different and can be independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen or lower alkyl radicals preferably having about 1 to about 6 carbon atoms. Another example of a useful polyoxyalkylene polyamine are those of the structure: wherein R can be the same or different and is selected from hydrogen, lower alkyl radicals having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and n represents an integer ranging from about 1 to about 50, preferably about 1 to about 35.

A number of such other polyoxyalkylene polyamines are described in more detail in U.S. Patent No. 3,236,895, column 2, lines 40-72; methods of preparation of the polyoxyalkylene polyamines are illustrated in the patent in Examples 4, 5, 6 and 8-12 in columns 4 to 9 thereof; the aforementioned portions of U.S. Patent No. 3,236,895 hereby being incorporated by reference. Mixed polyoxyalkylene polyamines can be used, that is, those in which the oxyalkylene group can be selected from more than one moiety. Examples include mixed polyoxyethylene-propylenepolyamines such as those having the following structural formula: H,N — NH 2 wherein m is an integer ranging from about 1 to about 49, preferably about 1 to about 34, and n is an integer ranging from about 1 to about 34 and where the sum of n+m is equal to about 1 to about 50, preferably about 1 to about 35.

Examples of suitable blocking agents used to form the polyurethane include: oximes, such as acetoxime, methyl ethyl ketoxime, acetophenone oxime, cyclohexanone oxime, and methyl isobutyl ketoxime; carbon-hydrogen acid compounds, such as dialkyl malonate, alkyl acetoacetate, and acetylacetone; heterocyclic compounds, such as furfuryl alcohol, 1 ,2,4- triazole, and 3,5-dimethylpyrazole; lactams such as epsilon-caprolactam; amides, such as methyl acetamide, succimide, and acetanilide; phenols, such as methyl-3-hydroxy-benzoate and methyl-4-hydroxy-benzoate; and amino compounds, such as diisopropylamine, dicyclohexylamine, di-terf-butylamine, piperidine, and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine. The amount of blocking agent that is used to prepare the polyurethane material is at least about 5, preferably ranging from at least about 7 to about 20, and more preferably ranging from about 8 to about 20 percent by weight based on total weight of the resin solids used to form the polyurethane material. The polyurethane material may be formed by combining the above- identified components in any suitable arrangement known to one of ordinary skill in the art. For example, in preparing the reaction products of the present invention, the components may be combined in a single step or, as illustrated below, the polyisocyanate and the active hydrogen-containing material may be prereacted under suitable conditions to form a prepolymer prior to reaction with one or more of the remaining components. Any suitable reaction temperatures may be used to form the prepolymer such as, for example, those reaction temperatures that range from about 50°C to about 180°C. Next the prepolymer can be further reacted with a polyoxyalkylene polyol at any suitable reaction temperature, such as, for example, about 80°C. Then, a blocking agent may be reacted therein for blocking at least a portion of isocyanate groups of prepolymer. Such a reaction may be performed at any suitable reaction temperature, such as, for example, about 60°C to about 90°C. Thereafter, the polyamine material may be added under any suitable conditions, such as, for example at a reaction temperature of about 70°C to about 75°C, followed by the addition of the material having at least one primary or secondary amino group and at least one hydroxyl group under any suitable conditions, such as, for example, at a reaction temperature of about 60°C to about 80°C. Then, the acid functional material or anhydride having a functional group reactive with isocyanate or hydroxyl groups may be reacted therein to form the polyurethane material, under suitable conditions, such as, for example, at a reaction temperature of about 60°C to about 95°C. The polyurethane material can be nonionic, anionic or cationic, but preferably is anionic. The polyurethane will have a weight average molecular weight of less than about 15,000 grams per mole, preferably ranging from about 3,000 to about 10,000 grams per mole, and more preferably ranging from about 4,000 to about 8,000 grams per mole. The molecular weight of the polyurethane and other polymeric materials used in the practice of the invention is determined by gel permeation chromatography using a polystyrene standard. The polyurethane also has active hydrogen functionality, i.e., hydroxyl, primary or secondary amine, and typically has an active hydrogen equivalent weight of about 500 to about 2500 grams per equivalent, preferably about 800 to about 1500 grams per equivalent, and most preferably about 800 to about 1200 grams per equivalent. The polyurethane material also may have a combined urethane/urea equivalent weight ranging from about 200 to about 400 grams per equivalent, and preferably from about 220 to about 320 grams per equivalent. The polyurethane material, when cured, has a toughness of at least about 20 MPa, preferably from about 20 to about 60 MPa, and more preferably from about 20 to about 50 MPa. One nonlimiting example of the reaction chemistry of one embodiment of a polyurethane material of the present invention is as follows: Isophorone diisocyanate Trimethylolpropane ene glycol MEK oxime H 2 N NH, Polyoxyalkylene diamine n 2 = 30 - 40 Diethanol amine Dimethyl ethanol amine The polyurethane material is useful for forming powder, liquid, and powder slurry compositions. Preferably, the polyurethane material is present in an aqueous composition. The polyurethane material of the present invention may be present in a composition in the form of an aqueous dispersion. The term "dispersion" is a two-phase transparent, translucent or opaque resinous system in which the resin is in the dispersed phase and the water is the continuous phase. The average particle size of the resinous phase is generally less than 1.0 micron and usually less than 0.5 microns, preferably less than 0.2 micron. Generally, the concentration of the resinous phase in the aqueous medium ranges from about 10 to about 60 percent, and usually about 40 to about 55 percent, and preferably about 43 to about 55 percent by weight based on total weight of the aqueous dispersion. The composition can further comprise other thermosettable film- forming materials, such as polyurethanes which are chemically different from those discussed above, acrylics, polyesters and epoxy functional materials. Suitable polyurethane film-forming materials include the reaction products of polymeric polyols such as polyester polyols or acrylic polyols with a polyisocyanate such as are discussed above. Suitable acrylic polymers include polymers of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and alkyl esters thereof. Other useful film-forming materials and other components for primers are disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,971 ,837; 5,492,731 and 5,262,464, which are incorporated herein by reference. The amount of film-forming material in the composition can range from about 30 to about 100 weight percent, and preferably about 40 to about 60 weight percent on a basis of total resin solids weight of the composition. To achieve optimum chip resistance and durability, the polyurethane material is curable or thermosettable. Preferably, the polyurethane material is self-crosslinking, although external crosslinking agents such as isocyanates blocked with oximes, such as methyl ethyl ketoxime, or aminoplasts, can be used. Other useful external crosslinking agents include polyisocyanates such as those described above. The polyisocyanate may be fully capped with essentially no free isocyanate groups and present as a separate component or it may be partially capped and reacted with hydroxyl or amine groups in the polyurethane backbone. Examples of suitable polyisocyanates and capping agents are those described in U.S. Patent No. 3,947,339, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. When the crosslinking agent contains free isocyanate groups, the film- forming composition is preferably a two-package composition (one package comprising the crosslinking agent and the other comprising the hydroxyl functional polymer) in order to maintain storage stability. Fully capped polyisocyanates are described in U.S. Patent No. 3,984,299, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The polyisocyanate can be an aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or an aromatic polyisocyanate or a mixture thereof. Diisocyanates are preferred, although higher polyisocyanates can be used in place of or in combination with diisocyanates. Aliphatic or cycloaliphatic polyisocyanates are preferred. Examples of suitable aliphatic diisocyanates are straight chain aliphatic diisocyanates such as 1 ,4-tetramethylene diisocyanate and 1 ,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate. Also, cycloaliphatic diisocyanates can be employed. Examples include isophorone diisocyanate and 4,4'-methylene- bis-(cyclohexyl isocyanate). Examples of suitable aromatic diisocyanates are p-phenylene diisocyanate, diphenylmethane-4,4'-diisocyanate and 2,4- or 2,6- toluene diisocyanate. Examples of suitable higher polyisocyanates are triphenylmethane-4,4 , ,4"-triisocyanate, 1 ,2,4-benzene triisocyanate and polymethylene polyphenyl isocyanate. Biurets and isocyanurates of diisocyanates, including mixtures thereof, such as the isocyanurate of hexamethylene diisocyanate, the biuret of hexamethylene diisocyanate, and the isocyanurate of isophorone diisocyanate are also suitable. Isocyanate prepolymers, for example, reaction products of polyisocyanates with polyols such as neopentyl glycol and trimethylol propane or with polymeric polyols such as polycaprolactone diols and triols (NCO/OH equivalent ratio greater than one) can also be used. Any suitable aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, or aromatic alkyl monoalcohol or phenolic compound may be used as a capping agent for the capped polyisocyanate crosslinking agent in the composition of the present invention including, for example, lower aliphatic alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, and n-butanol; cycloaliphatic alcohols such as cyclohexanol; aromatic-alkyl alcohols such as phenyl carbinol and methylphenyl carbinol; and phenolic compounds such as phenol itself and substituted phenols wherein the substituents do not affect coating operations, such as cresol and nitrophenol. Glycol ethers may also be used as capping agents. Suitable glycol ethers include ethylene glycol butyl ether, diethylene glycol butyl ether, ethylene glycol methyl ether and propylene glycol methyl ether. Other suitable capping agents include oximes such as methyl ethyl ketoxime (preferred), acetone oxime and cyclohexanone oxime, lactams such as epsilon-caprolactam, and amines such as dibutyl amine. The crosslinking agent may be present in the thermosetting compositions of the present invention in an amount of at least 1 percent by weight, preferably at least 15 percent by weight, based on total resin solids weight of the composition and the hydroxy functional material present. The crosslinking agent is also typically present in the composition in an amount of less than 60 percent by weight, preferably less than 50 percent by weight, and more preferably less than 40 percent by weight, based on total resin solids weight of the composition. The amount of crosslinking agent present in the thermosetting composition of the present invention may range between any combination of these values, inclusive of the recited values. The equivalent ratio of hydroxyl groups in the polymer to reactive functional groups in the crosslinking agent is typically within the range of 1 :0.5 to 1.5, preferably 1.0 to 1.5. Aminoplasts are obtained from the reaction of formaldehyde with an amine or amide. The most common amines or amides are melamine, urea, or benzoguanamine, and are preferred. However, condensates with other amines or amides can be used; for example, aldehyde condensates of glycoluril, which give a high melting crystalline product that is useful in powder coatings. While the aldehyde used is most often formaldehyde, other aldehydes such as acetaldehyde, crotonaldehyde, and benzaldehyde may be used. The aminoplast contains methylol groups and preferably at least a portion of these groups is etherified with an alcohol to modify the cure response. Any monohydric alcohol may be employed for this purpose including methanol, ethanol, butanol, isobutanol, and hexanol. Preferably, the aminoplasts that are used are melamine-, urea-, glycouril or benzoguanamine-formaldehyde condensates etherified with an alcohol containing from one to four carbon atoms. The aminoplast may be present in the composition in amounts of about 5 to about 60, preferably about 15 to about 50 percent by weight based on the total weight of resin solids. The thermosetting composition may also contain catalysts to accelerate the cure of the crosslinking agent with reactive groups on the polymer(s). Suitable catalysts for aminoplast cure include acids such as acid phosphates and sulfonic acid or a substituted sulfonic acid. Examples include dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid, paratoluene sulfonic acid, and the like. Suitable catalysts for isocyanate cure include organotin compounds such as dibutyltin oxide, dioctyltin oxide, dibutyltin dilaurate, and the like. The catalyst is usually present in an amount of about 0.05 to about 5.0 percent by weight, preferably about 0.08 to about 2.0 percent by weight, based on the total weight of resin solids in the thermosetting composition. Other ingredients such as pigments and fillers can be present in the polyurethane composition. Useful pigments include hiding pigments such as titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, antimony oxide, etc. and organic or inorganic UV opacifying pigments such as iron oxide, transparent red or yellow iron oxide, carbon black, phthalocyanine blue, and the like. Useful fillers include barium sulfate, magnesium silicate, calcium carbonate, and silica. Fillers and pigments can be present in amounts of up to 60 parts by weight or less based on 100 parts by weight of total solids of the composition. Other optional ingredients include anti-oxidants, UV- absorbers and hindered amine light stabilizers, such as for example, hindered phenols, benzophenones, benzotriazoles, triazoles, triazines, benzoates, piperidinyl compounds and mixtures thereof. These ingredients are typically added in amounts up to about 2 percent based on the total weight of resin solids of the composition. Other optional ingredients include co-solvents, coalescing aids, defoamers, plasticizers, associative thickeners, bactericides and the like. Most electroconductive substrates, especially metal substrates such as steel, zinc, aluminum, copper, magnesium, or the like and galvanized metals such as any galvanized steels and the like whether hot dip galvanized or electrogalvanized or other galvanizing method can be coated with the electrodepositable compositions. Steel substrates are preferred. It is customary to pretreat the substrate with a phosphate conversion coating, usually a zinc phosphate conversion coating, followed by a rinse that seals the conversion coating. Pretreatments are well known to those skilled in the art. Examples of suitable pretreatment compositions are disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,793,867 and 5,588,989, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. In a preferred embodiment, the coating composition can be deposited upon a substrate or over an existing coating by nonelectrophoretic means such as spray application, which will be discussed in detail below. It is contemplated that depending upon the desired application and use the polyurethane compositions of the present invention may be incorporated into any liquid coating composition, powder coating composition, or aqueous slurry coating composition. As described hereinbelow, the percent solids of the polyurethane material present in the coating composition and the thickness of the polyurethane composition as applied to the substrate can vary based upon such factors as the particular coating that uses the polyurethane material of the present invention, i.e. whether the polyurethane material is used in a primer coating, basecoat, clearcoat, topcoat, or combinations thereof, or monocoat composition; and the type of substrate and intended use of the substrate, i.e. the environment in which the substrate is placed and the nature of the contacting materials. In addition, it is contemplated that the polyurethane material composition of the present invention may be incorporated into one or more coating compositions to form a multicomponent composite coating for application over a substrate. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, the present invention may be a multicomponent composite coating comprising a primer deposited from a primer coating composition and a topcoat applied over at least a portion of the primer in which the topcoat is deposited, wherein at least one of the primer composition and the topcoat composition comprise the polyurethane material of the present invention. In another embodiment of the present invention, the present invention may be a multicomponent composite coating comprising a basecoat deposited from a pigmented coating composition and a clearcoat applied over at least a portion of the basecoat, the clearcoat being deposited from a clearcoating composition, wherein at least one of the basecoat composition and the clearcoating composition comprise the polyurethane material of the present invention. The composition of the present invention may be applied onto the surface of the substrate or over a polymeric underlayer by any suitable coating process known to those of ordinary skill in the art, for example, by dip coating, direct roll coating, reverse roll coating, curtain coating, spray coating, brush coating, electrostatic spray coating, and combinations thereof. The method and apparatus for applying the coating composition to the substrate is determined in part by the configuration and type of substrate material. In this regard, the coatings of the present invention may be applied over either metal or plastic substrates by these application methods. When applied over a plastic substrate, the compositions of the present invention are at least partially cured at a temperature below the thermal deformation temperature of the plastics. For example, the polyurethane composition employed in a primer/topcoat composite in a wet-on-wet application. In this example, the polyurethane material may be incorporated into one or both of the primer and topcoat layers. The following example is provided by way of illustration only, as one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the polyurethane material- containing composition may, but need not, be applied in a wet-on-wet application, and that other coatings, such as powder coatings, and coating methods may be employed. A substantially uncured coating of the primer coating composition is formed on the surface of the substrate during application of the primer coating composition to the substrate. In a preferred embodiment, the surface of the substrate is pretreated as discussed above and electrocoated with about 20 to about 50 microns of electrodeposition coating, which is commercially available from PPG Industries, Inc. Other suitable electrodepositable coatings include those disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,891 ,1 11 ; 4,933,056 and 5,760,107, which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. The primer composition can be a waterborne coating or solventborne coating for wet-on-wet application, as desired, but is preferably a waterborne coating. The primer coating composition may contain the polyurethane material of the present invention or may be a conventional primer coating composition as described, for example, in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,126,393; 5,280,067; 5,297,665; 5,589,228 and 5,905,132, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. When the primer composition contains the polyurethane material of the present invention, the percent solids of the polyurethane in the primer composition may range from about 5 to about 100 percent, and is typically about 20 to about 100 percent by weight based on total weight of the resin solids of the primer composition. The primer composition can be applied to the surface of the substrate by any suitable coating process known to those of ordinary skill in the art, for example, by dip coating, direct roll coating, reverse roll coating, curtain coating, spray coating, brush coating, electrostatic spray coating, and combinations thereof. A substantially uncured primer coating is formed during application of the primer. As used herein, "substantially uncured" coating means that the coating composition, after application to the surface of the substrate, forms a film or coating that is substantially uncrosslinked, i.e., is not heated to a temperature sufficient to induce significant crosslinking and there is substantially no chemical reaction between the thermosettable dispersion and the crosslinking material. During application of the primer coating composition to the substrate, ambient relative humidity generally can range from about 30 to about 90 percent, preferably about 60 percent to 80 percent. After application of the aqueous primer coating composition to the substrate, the primer coating can be at least partially dried by evaporating water and solvent (if present) from the surface of the film by air drying at ambient (about 25°C) or an elevated temperature for a period sufficient to dry the film but not significantly crosslink the components of the primer coating. The heating is preferably only for a short period of time sufficient to ensure that a topcoat composition can be applied over the primer coating essentially without dissolving the primer coating. Suitable drying conditions will depend on the components of the primer coating and on the ambient humidity, but in general a drying time of about 1 to about 5 minutes at a temperature of about 80°F to about 250°F (about 20°C to about 121°C) will be adequate to ensure that mixing of the primer coating and the topcoat composition is minimized. Preferably, the drying temperature ranges from about 20°C to about 80°C, and more preferably about 20°C to about 50°C. Also, multiple primer coating compositions can be applied to develop the optimum appearance. Usually between coats, the previously applied coat is flashed; that is, exposed to ambient conditions for about 1 to 20 minutes. Typically, the coating thickness of the primer coating after final drying and curing of the multilayer composite coating ranges from about 0.4 to about 2 mils (about 10 to about 50 micrometers), and preferably about 1.0 to about 1.5 mils (about 25 to about 38 micrometers). A topcoat composition is applied to at least a portion of a surface of the primer coating in a wet-on-wet application without substantially curing the primer coating. The topcoat composition may contain the polyurethane material of the present invention or may be a conventional topcoat coating composition as described, for example, in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,403,003; 4,978,708; 5,071 ,904; 5,368,944; 5,739,194; 5,667,847 and 6,093,497, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Other suitable compositions are those formulations commercially available by PPG Industries, Inc. under the tradename HWB and DWB. When the topcoat composition contains the polyurethane material of the present invention, the percent solids of the polyurethane in the topcoat composition may range from about 5 to about 100 percent, and is typically about 50 to about 95 percent by weight based on total weight of the resin solids of the topcoat composition. The topcoat composition can be a waterborne coating or solventborne coating for wet-on-wet application, as desired, but is preferably a waterborne coating. The topcoat may be a monocoat or a system incorporating a basecoat plus clearcoat, which is preferred. The following example illustrates the polyurethane material employed in a basecoat/clearcoat composite in a wet-on-wet application. As discussed above, the following example is provided by way of illustration only, as one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the polyurethane composition may, but need not, be applied in a wet-on-wet application, and that other coatings, such as powder coatings, and coating methods may be employed. A substantially uncured coating of the basecoat composition is formed onto the substrate during application of the basecoat composition to the substrate. The basecoat composition may contain the polyurethane material of the present invention or may be a conventional basecoat composition as described above. When the basecoat composition contains the polyurethane material of the present invention, the percent solids of the polyurethane in the primer composition may range from about 5 to about 100, and is typically about 40 to about 80 percent by weight based on the total weight of the resin solids of the basecoat composition. Preferably, the basecoat composition is a crosslinkable coating comprising at least one thermosettable film-forming material and at least one crosslinking material, although thermoplastic film- forming materials such as polyolefins can be used. The preferred basecoat composition is set forth below in Example 10. Other suitable basecoats that may be employed in the present invention are those disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,071 ,904, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Suitable resinous binders for organic solvent-based basecoats are disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,220,679 at column 2, line 24 through column 4, line 40 and U.S. Patent No. 5,196,485 at column 11, line 7 through column 13, line 22. Suitable waterborne base coats for color-plus-clear composites are disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,403,003, and the resinous compositions used in preparing those base coats can be used in the present invention. Also, waterborne polyurethanes such as those prepared in accordance with U.S. Patent No. 4,147,679 can be used as the resinous binder in the basecoat. Further, waterborne coatings such as those described in U.S. Patent No. 5,071,904 can be used as the basecoat. Each of the patents discussed above is incorporated by reference herein it their entirey. Other useful film-forming materials for the basecoat coating composition include the hydrophobic polymers and/or reaction product (a) discussed above. Other components of the basecoat composition can include crosslinking materials and additional ingredients such as pigments discussed above. Useful metallic pigments include aluminum flake, bronze flakes, coated mica, nickel flakes, tin flakes, silver flakes, copper flakes and combinations thereof. Other suitable pigments include mica, iron oxides, lead oxides, carbon black, titanium dioxide and talc. The specific pigment to binder ration can vary widely so long as it provides the requisite hiding at the desired film thickness and application solids. The basecoat composition may be applied to the surface of the substrate by any suitable coating process known to those of ordinary skill in the art, for example, by dip coating, direct roll coating, curtain coating, spray coating, brush coating, electrostatic spray coating, and combinations thereof. During application of the basecoat composition to the substrate, ambient relative humidity generally can range from about 30 to about 90 percent, preferably about 60 percent to 80 percent. A substantially uncured basecoat is formed during application of the basecoat. Typically, the basecoating thickness after curing of the substrate having the multilayered composite coating thereon ranges from about 0.4 to about 2.0 mils (about 10 to about 50 micrometers), and preferably about 0.5 to about 1.2 mils (about 12 to about 30 micrometers). Some migration of coating materials between the coating layers, preferably less than about 20 weight percent, can occur. After application of the basecoat composition to the substrate, the basecoat can be at least partially dried by evaporating water and/or solvent from the surface of the film by air drying at ambient (about 25°C) or an elevated temperature for a period sufficient to dry the film but not significantly crosslink the components of the basecoat composition. The heating is preferably only for a short period of time sufficient to ensure that a clear coating composition can be applied over the basecoat coating essentially without dissolving the basecoat coating. Suitable drying conditions depend on the components of the basecoat composition and on the ambient humidity, but generally the drying conditions are similar to those discussed above with respect to the primer coating. Also, multiple basecoat coating compositions can be applied to develop the optimum appearance. Usually between coats, the previously applied coat is flashed; that is, exposed to ambient conditions for about 1 to 20 minutes. A clear coating composition is then applied to at least a portion of the basecoat without substantially curing the basecoat coating to form a substantially uncured basecoat/clearcoat composite coating thereon. When the clear coating composition contains the polyurethane material of the present invention, the percent solids of the polyurethane in the clear coating composition may range from about 5 to about 100, and is typically about 50 to about 95 percent by weight. The clear coating composition can be applied to the surface of the basecoat coating by any of the coating processes discussed above for applying the basecoat composition. The clearcoat composition can be a waterborne coating or solventborne coating for wet-or-wet application, as desired. Where the clearcoat composition contains the polyurethane material of the present invention, the clearcoat composition is preferably a waterborne coating. Preferably the clear coating composition is a crosslinkable coating comprising at least one thermosettable film-forming material and at least one crosslinking material, although thermoplastic film-forming materials such as polyolefins can be used. Suitable conventional waterborne clearcoats are disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,098,947, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and are based on water soluble acrylic resins. Useful solvent borne clearcoats are disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,196,485 and 5,814,410, incorporated herein by reference in their entirety, and include polyepoxides and polyacid curing agents. (Suitable conventional powder clearcoats are described in U.S. Patent No. 5,663,240, incorporated herein by reference in their entirety, and include epoxy functional acrylic copolymers and polycarboxylic acid crosslinking agents.) The clear coating composition can include crosslinking materials and additional ingredients such as are discussed above but not pigments. During application of the clear coating composition to the substrate, ambient relative humidity generally can range from about 30 to about 90 percent, preferably about 60 percent to about 80 percent. After application of the clear coating composition to the substrate, the composite coating can be at least partially dried by evaporating water and/or solvent from the surface of the film by air drying at ambient (about 25°C) or an elevated temperature for a period sufficient to dry the film. Preferably, the clear coating composition is dried at a temperature and time sufficient to crosslink the crosslinkable components of the composite coating. Suitable drying conditions depend on the components of the clear coating composition and on the ambient humidity, but generally the drying conditions are similar to those discussed above with respect to the primer coating. Also, multiple clear coating compositions can be applied to develop the optimum appearance. Usually between coats, the previously applied coat is flashed; that is, exposed to ambient conditions for about 1 to 20 minutes. A substantially uncured coating of the clearcoat/basecoat composite or the topcoat/primer composite is formed on the surface of the substrate during application. Typically, the coating thickness after curing of the multilayered basecoat/clearcoat composite coating on the substrate ranges from about 0.5 to about 4 mils (about 15 to about 100 micrometers), and preferably about 1.2 to about 3 mils (about 30 to about 75 micrometers). After application of the clearcoating or topcoating composition, the composite coating coated substrate is heated to cure the coating films or layers. In the curing operation, water and/or solvents are evaporated from the surface of the composite coating and the film-forming materials of the coating films are crosslinked. The heating or curing operation is usually carried out at a temperature in the range of from about 160°F to about 350°F (about 71 °C to about 177°C) but if needed, lower or higher temperatures can be used as necessary to activate crosslinking mechanisms. The thickness of the dried and crosslinked composite coating is generally about 0.2 to 5 mils (5 to 125 micrometers), and preferably about 0.4 to 3 mils (10 to 75 micrometers). In one embodiment, compositions including the polyurethane material of the present invention may be used for electrodeposition coating. Such compositions can include an electroconductive pigment to make the resultant coating electroconductive upon curing. Suitable electroconductive pigments include electrically conductive carbon black pigments. Generally, the carbon blacks can be any one or a blend of carbon blacks ranging from those that are known as higher conductive carbon blacks, i.e. those with a BET surface area greater than 500 m 2 /gram and DBP adsorption number (determined in accordance with ASTM D2414-93) of 200 to 600 ml/100 g. to those with lower DBP numbers on the order of 30 to 120 ml/100 gram such as those with DBP numbers of 40 to 80 ml/1 OOgrams. Examples of commercially available carbon blacks include Cabot Monarch™ 1300, Cabot XC-72R, Black Pearls 2000 and Vulcan XC 72 sold by Cabot Corporation; Acheson Electrodag™ 230 sold by Acheson Colloids Co.; Columbian Raven™ 3500 sold by Columbian Carbon Co.; and Printex™ XE 2, Printex 200, Printex L and Printex L6 sold by DeGussa Corporation, Pigments Group. Suitable carbon blacks are also described in U.S. Patent No. 5,733,962, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Also, electrically conductive silica pigments may be used. Examples include "Aerosil 200" sold by Japan Aerosil Co., Ltd., and "Syloid 161", "Syloid 244", "Syloid 308", "Syloid 404" and "Syloid 978" made by Fuji Davison Co., Ltd. Mixtures of different electroconductive pigments can be used. The amount of electroconductive pigment in the composition can vary depending on specific type of pigment that is used, but the level needs to be effective to provide an electrodeposited coating with a conductivity of greater than or equal to 10 "12 mhos/cm. Stated another way the electrodeposited coating should have a resistivity of less than or equal to 10 12 ohms-cm., preferably a resistance of less than or equal to 10 8 ohms at typical film builds or thicknesses for electrodeposited coatings. This level is necessary so that upon curing or partial curing the coating becomes electroconductive. Preferably, curing is by heating at a temperature of at least 120°C (248°F). Typically, the electroconductive pigment content in the electrodepositable composition is from 5 to 25 percent by weight based on total solids of the electrodeposition composition. In the process of applying the electrically conductive coating, the aqueous dispersion of the electrodepositable composition is placed in contact with an electrically conductive anode and cathode. Upon passage of an electric current between the anode and cathode, an adherent film of the electrodepositable composition will deposit in a substantially continuous manner on either the anode or the cathode depending on whether the composition is anionically or cationically electrodepositable. Electrodeposition is usually carried out at a constant voltage in the range of from about 1 volt to several thousand volts, typically between 50 and 500 volts. Current density is usually between about 1.0 ampere and 15 amperes per square foot (10.8 to 161.5 amperes per square meter). Furthermore, a second electrodepositable coating that may, but need not, contain the polyurethane material of the present invention, may be applied over the first electrodeposition coating, described above, under the processing conditions described herein in order to provide a multiple layer electrodeposited coating. After electrodeposition, the coating is at least partially cured, typically by heating. Temperatures usually range from about 200°F to about 400°F (about 93°C to about 204°C), preferably from about 250°F to 350°F (about 121 °C to about 177°C) for a period of time ranging from 10 to 60 minutes. The thickness of the resultant film is usually from about 10 to 50 microns. The heating or baking of the electrodeposited coating can also be performed by means of infrared radiation ("IR"). Generally, there are three categories of IR. These categories are: near-IR (short wavelength) having a peak wavelength from 0.75 to 2.5 microns ("u") (750 to 2500 nanometers); intermediate-IR (medium wavelength) having a peak wavelength from 2.5 to 4 u (2500 to 4000 nanometers), and far-IR (long wavelength) having a peak wavelength from 4 to 1000 u (4000 to 100,000 nanometers). Any or any combination or all of these categories of IR can be used for the heating to at least partially cure the coating. Curing can be done in a selective manner. At least one predetermined area of the first electrodeposited coating composition is selectively heated by IR, for example, the exterior surfaces of an automobile body, where such predetermined area is to be coated with the second electrodepositable coating composition. The interior surfaces of the electrocoated substrate are not exposed to the IR and as a result, the first electrocoat coating is not cured on the interior surfaces and does not become electroconductive. Hence, the deposition of the second electrodeposited coating layer is only on the exterior surfaces which are electrically conductive. With this treatment, substrates like an automobile body have the cured, conductive, first electrodeposited coating on exterior surfaces and the uncured, nonconductive, first electrodeposited coating on interior surfaces. Upon application of the second electrodeposited coating and curing of both electrodeposited coatings, the exterior surface of the automobile body will have both the first and second electrodeposited coatings and good corrosion and chip resistance where it is needed most. The interior surface will only have the first electrodeposited coating and corrosion resistance but no chip resistance. Since the interior surfaces will not be exposed to road debris, chip resistance is not needed. When IR heating is used with complex shapes such as automobile bodies, it is preferable to dry the substrate coated with the first electrodeposited coating composition for 2 to 20 minutes, in a standard oven such as a convection, electric, or gas fired oven before exposing the electrocoated substrate to IR. The drying step can be at a temperature sufficient to remove water but not sufficient to cure the coating such that it becomes conductive. Generally, the temperature is less than 120°C. IR heating can be conducted from 10 seconds to 2 hours, usually from 5 to 20 minutes. Temperatures range from greater than 120°C to 220°C (248°F to 428°F) and preferably from 130°C to 190°C (266°F to 374°F). The aqueous cationic or anionic polyurethane dispersions are typically electrodeposited on the electroconductive coating from an electrodeposition bath having a solids content of 5 to 50 percent by weight. The bath temperature is usually about 15°C to 35°C. The voltage is from 100 to 400 V (load voltage) using the substrate with the electroconductive coating as a cathode in the case of the cationic polyurethane or as an anode in the case of the anionic polyurethane. The film thickness of the electrodeposited coating is not particularly restricted and can vary largely depending upon the application of finished product, etc. However, the thickness is usually between 3 to 70 microns, particularly 15 to 35 microns in terms of cured film thickness. The baking and curing temperature of the coating film is usually from 100°C to 250°C and preferably 140°C to 200°C. As mentioned above in the case of the selective application of the second electrocoat through use of the IR bake of the first electrodeposited coating, the heating or baking after application of the second electrocoat can cure both the first and second electrocoats on surfaces not exposed to IR heating or baking. Also, the baking can complete the cure of the first electrocoat that was exposed to IR and overcoated with the second electrocoat. The invention will further be described by reference to the following examples. The following examples are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to be limiting. Unless otherwise indicated, all parts are by weight. EXAMPLES The preparation and physical property evaluation of anionic polyurethane materials and coatings including the same are described in the Examples below.

Results were obtained using the same testing procedures described in Example 1. Example 7: Preparation of Hvdroxy and Blocked Isocyanate Polyurethane Using Dimethylolpropionic Acid (DMPA. This example illustrates the preparation of a polyurethane material with both hydroxyl and blocked isocyanate functionality synthesized using dimethylolpropionic acid as the acid functionality for dispersion rather than trimellitic anhydride used in the above examples. A reaction vessel equipped with a stirrer, a thermocouple, a condenser, and a nitrogen inlet was charged with 1697.0 g of isophorone diisocyanate, 484.8 g of methyl isobutyl ketone and 0.74 g of dibutyl tin dilaurate and heated to 45°C. 88.4 g of trimethylolpropane was added and the reaction was allowed to exotherm to 72°C. After cooling the reaction to 66°C, another 88.4 g of trimethylolpropane was added to the reaction flask. The temperature of the reaction product increased to 89°C. The reaction product was allowed to cool to 75°C. After one hour the isocyanate equivalent weight of the reaction was 207 grams per isocyanate equivalent. 938.7 g of TERATHANE® 650 was added over one hour followed by 142.5 g of methyl isobutyl ketone.

The reaction was stirred until the isocyanate equivalent weight was 1600 grams per equivalent. 1306.7 g of this isocyanate prepolymer were charged to a reaction vessel equipped with a stirrer, a thermocouple, a condenser, and a nitrogen inlet. With the vessel contents stirring at 500 rpm and at 70°C, 181.2 g of Jeffamine D-2000 was added over two minutes.

The resultant product an acid value of 14.2 mg KOH/g product, a hydroxyl value of 43.2 mg KOH/g product and a weight average molecular weight of 7237 g/mole. Example 8: Preparation of Aqueous Dispersion of the Hydroxyl and Blocked Isocyanate Polyurethane of Example 7 1341.9 g of the polyurethane of Example 7 at 85°C were added over 30 minutes to a solution of 623.0 g of deionized water and 21.2 g of dimethyl ethanol amine stirring at 21°C and at 529 rpm in a cylindrical gallon reaction flask equipped with baffles, a double pitched bladed stirrer, a thermocouple, and a condenser. The dispersion temperature after this addition was 45°C. The dispersion was stirred for 30 minutes while increasing the dispersion temperature to 50°C. Then, the dispersion temperature set point was lowered to 38°C and 198.6 g of deionized water was added over 25 minutes. The dispersion was stirred for an additional 45 minutes, another 546.2 g of deionized water was added over 25 minutes and the dispersion stirred for another 45 minutes.

The dispersion was heated to 60°C and the methyl isobutyl ketone and water removed by vacuum distillation. This initial dispersion was not stable, therefore additional dimethyl ethanol amine was added to increase the percent neutralization to 80 percent. The final dispersion had a solids content of 36.3 weight percent (measured for one hour at 110°C), a Brookfield viscosity of 12,000 centipoise using a #3 spindle at 6 rpm, an acid content of 0.112 meq acid/g, a base content of 0.093 meq base/g, a residual methyl isobutyl ketone content of 0.57 weight percent, a number average particle size of 1143 angstroms and a volume average particle size of 1327 angstroms. Results were obtained using the same testing procedures described in Example 1. Coating compositions were prepared using the aqueous dispersions of the above Examples. First, a pigment paste was prepared as follows: Example 9: Preparation of Pigment Paste Using Polyurethane Material of Example 2 A black pigment paste was prepared from the following ingredients: Byk 191, available from Byk-Chemie USA Inc, Wallington, Connecticut. 2 PRINTEX-G, available from DeGussa-Huls Corporation, Ridgefield Park, New Jersey. 3 available from Sachtleben Chemie GmBH. 4 available from DuPont de Nemours Company, Wilmington, Delaware. The first three ingredients were stirred together in the given order. The pigments (Items 4, 5 and 6) were added in small portions while stirring until a smooth paste was formed. The paste was then recirculated for 20 minutes through an Eiger Minimill at 2500 rpm with 2 mm zircoa beads. The final product had a Hegman rating of 7.5+. Example 10: Primer Coating Composition Using Polyurethane of Example 2 A primer coating composition was made by mixing in order the following ingredients: The pH of the coating was greater than 8.0. The viscosity was 30 seconds as measured on a #4 Ford efflux cup at ambient temperature. The primer coating composition of this example (Sample A) was evaluated against a solventborne primer/surfacer (commercially available from PPG Industries Lacke GmbH as PPG-73277) (Comparative Sample). The test substrates were ACT cold roll steel panels electrocoated with a cationically electrodepositable primer commercially available from PPG Industries, Inc. as ED-5000, which are commercially available from ACT Laboratories of Hillsdale, Michigan. Both the primer coating composition of the present invention and the commercial primer/surfacer were spray applied (2 coats automated spray with 60 seconds ambient flash between coats) at 60% relative humidity and 21 °C to give a dry film thickness of 1.35 to 1.45 mils (33 microns to 36 microns). The panels were flashed for 10 minutes at the ambient condition, and were then baked for 10 minutes at 80°C and then 30 minutes at 165°C. The panels were topcoated with a silver basecoat and flashed for 5 minutes at the ambient conditions, and baked for 10 minutes at 80°C to give a film thickness of 0.55 to 0.65 mils. The basecoat formulation used is sold under the tradename HWB519F, commercially available from PPG Industries, Inc., Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. The panels were then clearcoated with a 2K clearcoat (commercially available from PPG Industries Cleveland as Part A TKV1050AR/ Part B WTKR2000B) and flashed for 10 minutes at ambient condition and then baked for 30 minutes at 165°C. The thickness of the clearcoat was determined to be 1.8 mils (40 microns). The appearance and physical properties of the coated panels were measured using the following tests: Chip resistance (multichip) was measured by the Erichsen chip method (PPG STM-0802 or Ford Test Method #BI 157-06, without steps 3 and 4, 2 x 2000 g, 30 psi) with a rating of zero being best. Multichip by the GM Gravelometer (PPG STM-0744, or GM Test Method #GME 60-268, -20°C) with a rating scale of 0-10 with 10 being the best. Monochip testing on the BYK-Gardner Monochip Tester (PPG STM- 0823, or BMW Test Method BMW-PA15-163L, RT and -20°C) with a rating of mm of pick-off from the point of impact. By "pick-off 1 what is meant is the amount of delamination pulled from the sample by an adhesive. The test results are set forth below in Table 1. Table 1 M = Failure to Metal As shown in Table 1 , the substrate coated with the primer of the present invention (Sample A) exhibited generally better chip resistance than the comparative solventborne commercially available primer surfacer (Comparative Sample). Appearance was also measured on the finished panels. Appearance was measured using the BYK-wavescan (commercially available from BYK-Gardner, Columbia, Maryland) with data collected on the longwave and shortwave numbers. The instrument optically scans the wavy, light dark pattern on the surface over a distance of 10 cm (4 in) and detects the reflected light intensity point by point. The measured optical profile is divided into long-term waviness (structure size 0.6-10 mm) and short-term waviness (structure size 0.1-0.6 mm). Wavy structures with sizes between 0.1 mm and 10 mm are considered as orange peel or microwaviness. Orange peel is observed as a wavy, light-dark pattern on a high gloss surface. The type of structures that can be seen is dependent on the observation distance: long- term waviness at distances of 2 to 3 m and short-term waviness at about 50 cm (original adhesion, using ASTM # D3359-97). Adhesion was tested by making a Crosshatch grid and applying tape (Scotch 610) over the grid. The tape is then pulled from the grid and examined for delamination. These results are listed in Table 2. Table 2 The Crosshatch samples were then put into a humidity chamber (38°C, 100 percent relative humidity) for ten days (Chrysler Humidity Box) and tested again for adhesion in the same manner listed above. Both samples still past this test (i.e. there was no loss of adhesion). Example 10 (Sample A) was also applied via automated spray as described above, to precoated line steel (USS Galvaneal) coated with about 3-4 micrometers of Bonazinc 3001 zinc-rich epoxy pretreatment, which is commercially available from PPG Industries, Inc., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This substrate was not electrocoated. The same basecoat and clearcoat described above were applied in a similar manner. The panels were tested along with the previously reported samples and in the same manner. The results set forth in Table 3 were observed: Table 3 Example 11 : Primer Coating Composition Including Polyurethane of Example 8 A primer coating composition was made by mixing in order the following ingredients: 5 Butyl Cellusolve, commercially available from The British Petroleum Company, London, England. 6 Byk 191, commercially available from Byk-Chemie USA Inc, Wallingtoή, Connecticut. 7 Talc, commercially available from Norweigian Talc, Norway 8 Silica commercially available from DeGussa-Huls Corporation, Ridgefield Park, New Jersey. commercially available from Sachtleben Chemie GmBH. The first four ingredients were stirred together in the given order. The pigments (Items 5-9) were added in small portions while stirring until a smooth paste was formed. The paste was then recirculated for twenty minutes through an Eiger Minimill at 2500 rpm with 2- mm zircoa beads. The final product had a Hegman rating of 7.5+. The composition of Example 8 and deionized water were added to the product in the amounts identified above and stirred. Final viscosity of the material was 31 seconds measured using a #4 Ford efflux cup at ambient temperature. The pH of the material was measured to be greater than 8.0. Both of the primer coating compositions of Example 10 and Example 11 were spray applied (2 coats automated spray with 60 seconds ambient flash between coats) at 60% relative humidity and 21 °C over Tedlar™, a polyvinyl fluoride film available from DuPont de Nemours Company, Wilmington, Delaware, (taped to a steel panel and baked at 320°F for 20 minutes) to give a dry film having a thickness of 1.35 to 1.45 mils. The panels were flashed for 10 minutes at the ambient condition, and were then baked for 10 minutes at 80°C and 30 minutes at 165°C. The two primer examples were then tested for determination of physical properties. Free films peeled from the coated Tedlar substrate were cut into 1 / " x 4" test strips and were tested for Young's Modulus, tensile strength, percent elongation, and toughness using an Instron Mini 44, using a 1" gauge length and a crosshead speed of 25.4 mm/minute (according to TOUGHNESS TEST METHOD at 25°C). Results are listed in Table 4. Table 4 Comparing the results of the anionic polyurethane primer coating of the present invention with the commercial primer coating indicates that the coatings of the present invention can display better Young's Modulus, tensile strength, percent elongation, and toughness than the commercially available coatings.
