Abstract

A coating composition is prepared from an aqueous dispersion of a mixture of (i) urethane acrylate resin particles; (ii) acrylic resin particles; and (iii) a matting agent. A method of imparting stain resistance to a substrate, comprising applying the coating composition to at least a portion of the substrate.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A coating composition comprising a mixture of:
an aqueous dispersion of a mixture of (i) urethane acrylate resin particles and (ii) acrylic resin particles, wherein the (i) urethane acrylate resin particles and (ii) acrylic resin particles are different from each other; and
(iii) a matting agent,
wherein the coating composition is dryable at ambient conditions,
wherein the urethane acrylate resin particles are prepared from a reaction mixture comprising a free radical initiator and ethylenically unsaturated monomers that have undergone free radical polymerization of acrylate groups to form the urethane acrylate resin particles prior to inclusion in the coating composition,
wherein the acrylic resin particles have a z-average particle size at least 10% greater than that of the urethane acrylate resin particles.

2. The coating composition of claim 1 , wherein the urethane acrylate resin comprises urea groups.

3. The coating composition of claim 1 , wherein the coating composition comprises 5-50 wt. % urethane acrylate resin, based on total resin solids.

4. The coating composition of claim 3 , wherein the coating composition comprises 10-35 wt. % urethane acrylate resin, based on total resin solids.

5. The coating composition of claim 1 , wherein the matting agent comprises an inorganic matting agent.

6. The coating composition of claim 5 , wherein the inorganic matting agent comprises silica, alumina silicate and/or calcium carbonate.

7. The coating composition of claim 1 , wherein the matting agent comprises an organic matting agent.

8. The coating composition of claim 7 , wherein the organic matting agent comprises a wax, a thermoplastic polymer and/or a thermoset polymer, wherein the organic matting agent is different from the urethane acrylate resin particles (a) and the acrylic resin particles (b).

9. The coating composition of claim 1 , wherein the matting agent is present in an amount of 5 to 50 wt. %, based on total solids.

10. The coating composition of claim 1 , wherein when the coating composition is applied to a substrate and upon drying as a coating, has a 60° gloss level of no more than 20 units.

11. The coating composition of claim 10 , wherein when the coating composition is applied to a substrate and upon drying as a coating, has an 85° gloss level of no more than 35 units.

12. The coating composition of claim 1 , wherein when the coating composition is applied to a substrate and dried to form a coating, the coating exhibits an improved stain resistance compared to the same coating composition not including the urethane acrylate resin particles.

13. The coating composition of claim 1 , wherein the urethane acrylate resin particles have a z-average particle size at least 50% smaller than the acrylic resin particles.

14. The coating composition of claim 1 , wherein the coating composition has a VOC of less than 50 g/L.

15. A method of imparting stain resistance to a substrate with low gloss, comprising applying to at least a portion of the substrate the coating composition of claim 1 .

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising drying the coating composition at ambient temperature to form a coating.

17. A method of imparting stain resistance to a substrate with low gloss, comprising applying to at least a portion of the substrate the coating composition of claim 10 .

18. A substrate at least partially coated with the coating composition of claim 1 wherein the urethane acrylate resin particles are prepared from a reaction mixture comprising a free radical initiator and ethylenically unsaturated monomers that have undergone free radical polymerization of acrylate groups to form the urethane acrylate resin particles prior to inclusion in the coating composition,
wherein the acrylic resin particles have a z-average particle size at least 10% greater than that of the urethane acrylate resin particles.

19. The substrate of claim 18 , wherein the coated portion of the substrate is at least in part non-metallic.

20. The substrate of claim 18 , wherein the coated portion of substrate is non-metallic.

21. The substrate of claim 18 , wherein the substrate is an architectural component.

22. The coating composition of claim 1 , wherein the coating composition is dryable to form a dry paint film without applying radiation.

23. A coating composition for application to an interior wall comprising a mixture of:
an aqueous dispersion of a mixture of (i) urethane acrylate resin particles and (ii) acrylic resin particles, wherein the (i) urethane acrylate resin particles and (ii) acrylic resin particles are different from each other; and
(iii) a matting agent,
wherein the coating composition is dryable at ambient conditions,
wherein the coating composition is dryable to form a dry paint film.
