Patent ID: 7772304

Claim:
A plasticizing component for a curable coating composition, said plasticizing component comprising: an isocyanurate core; and at least one low surface tension group pending from said isocyanurate core, with said low surface tension group selected from the group of a) a fatty chain having at least 6 carbon atoms, b) a silicon-containing group having at least 1 silicon atom, c) a fluorocarbon, and combinations thereof, and with said low surface tension group having from 0 to 3 cross-linkable functional group(s) pending therefrom, wherein said plasticizing component is of the general structure: wherein R represents a moiety comprising from 0 to 12 carbon atoms provided that R is free from oxygen heteroatoms, L represents at least one moiety comprising a urethane group, a urea group, an amide group, an ester group, and combinations thereof provided that L is free from ether groups, R 1 represents said low surface tension group, and F is optional and represents said cross-linkable functional group, and wherein said plasticizing component comprises the reaction product of: an isocyanurate; and a compound selected from the group of a) an organocompound comprising at least 6 carbon atoms, b) a silicon-containing group having at least 1 silicon atom, c) a fluorocarbon, and combinations thereof, with said compound having at least one functional group reactive with said isocyanurate.
