US Patent:
6593417, Jul 15, 2003
Filed:
Jul 31, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/629443
Inventors:
Lawrence G. Anderson - Pittsburgh PA
Karen A. Barkac - Murrysville PA
Shawn A. DeSaw - McMurray PA
Marvis E. Hartman - Pittsburgh PA
Deborah E. Hayes - Verona PA

Assignee:
PPG Industries Ohio, Inc. - Cleveland OH
International Classification:
C08L 8304
US Classification:
524588, 525100, 525102, 525474, 525476, 528 26, 528 28, 528 29
Abstract:
Coating compositions are provided which are formed from components comprising (a) at least one polysiloxane comprising at least one reactive functional group; (b) at least one reactant comprising at least one functional group that is reactive with at least one functional group selected from the at least one reactive functional group of the at least one polysiloxane and at least one functional group of at least one reactant; and (c) a plurality of particles, wherein each component is different, and wherein the at least one reactive functional group of the at least one polysiloxane and the at least one functional group of the at least one reactant are substantially nonreactive with the particles. A multi-component composite coating composition formed from a basecoat and a topcoat deposited from the curable coating composition also is provided. The multi-component composite coating compositions of the invention provide highly scratch resistant color-plus-clearcoatings capable of retaining scratch resistance after weathering.
