Abstract

A coating composition having a measured solids content of at least 95% according to test method ASTM D2369 is disclosed. The composition includes a mixture of (a) a polymer prepared from one or more functional monomers having a (meth)acrylic monomer, an allyl monomer, or combinations thereof each having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond and an additional reactive functional group, and (b) a reactive diluent. At least some of the additional reactive functional group of the functional monomer remains unreacted during formation of the polymer. The reactive diluent has at least one ethylenically unsaturated functional group, no additional functionality, and a boiling point of greater than 100° C. The ethylenically unsaturated functional group of the reactive diluent and the additional reactive functional group remaining within the polymer do not react. Also disclosed are coatings formed from the cured coating composition and methods for providing sound and vibration damping through a substrate.

First claim

We claim:

a mixture comprising:
(a) a polymer prepared from functional monomers comprising a (meth)acrylic monomer, an allyl monomer, or combinations thereof each having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond and an additional reactive functional group, wherein at least some of the additional reactive functional group of the functional monomer remain unreacted during formation of the polymer; and
(b) a reactive diluent having at least one ethylenically unsaturated double bond, no additional functionality, and a boiling point of greater than 100° C.; and
a filler material;
wherein the at least one ethylenically unsaturated double bond of the reactive diluent and the additional reactive functional group remaining within the polymer do not react; and
wherein the coating composition has a measured solids content of at least 95% according to test method ASTM D2369.

2. The coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the functional monomers comprise (meth)acrylate monomers, allyl glycidyl ether, or combinations thereof.

3. The coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the functional monomers have a boiling point of at least 100° C.

4. The coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the reactive diluent is self-crosslinking.

5. The coating composition according to claim 4 , further comprising a catalyst that is capable of catalyzing a self-crosslinking reaction.

6. The coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the reactive diluent is present in an amount of from 5 to 70 weight percent, based on a total weight of the mixture of the polymer and the reactive diluent.

7. The coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polymer is self-crosslinking.

8. The coating composition according to claim 7 , further comprising a catalyst capable of catalyzing a self-crosslinking reaction.

9. The coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polymer comprises from 1 to 90 weight percent of the functional monomer, based on a total weight of the polymer.

10. The coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polymer is a copolymer prepared from at least one functional monomer and at least one monomer that comprises ethylenic unsaturation but not an additional reactive functional group.

11. The coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polymer has a weight average molecular weight of from 1,000 g/mole to 100,000 g/mole, as determined by gel permeation chromatography using a polystyrene standard in tetrahydrofuran.

12. The coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polymer has a weight average molecular weight of at least 150,000 g/mole, as determined by gel permeation chromatography using a polystyrene standard in tetrahydrofuran.

13. The coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polymer is dispersed in the reactive diluent.

14. The coating composition according to claim 13 , wherein the mixture of the polymer and the reactive diluent further comprises a second polymer that is dispersed in the reactive diluent.

15. The coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein, in the absence of the filler, the polymer and the reactive diluent have a Brookfield viscosity of from 1,000 centipoise to 100,000 centipoise measured at 20 rpm with a # 7 spindle at ambient temperature.

16. The coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition is substantially free of solvent.

17. A coating applied to a substrate comprising a reaction product prepared from the coating composition according to claim 1 , which, after cure, has a dry film thickness of at least 1 mm.

18. The coating applied to the substrate of claim 17 , which, after cure, demonstrates a composite damping loss factor of greater than 0.05 measured at a temperature of from −10° C. to 10° C. and at a frequency of from 198 Hz to 202 Hz according to Oberst ASTM E756-05.

19. The coating applied to the substrate of claim 18 , which, after cure, demonstrates a water absorption of less than 15%.

20. A method for providing sound and vibration damping through a substrate comprising:
applying the coating composition of claim 1 to the substrate; and
at least partially curing the coating composition.
