Abstract

A curable coating composition having satisfactory low temperature curing property and fast drying speed while maintaining the flexibility and impact resistance of coating films, and also providing the coating films with good anti-corrosion property and good adhesion to a steel substrate; and a process of preparing the curable coating composition.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A curable coating composition comprising:
an isocyanate-reactive component comprising a polyol, wherein the polyol is a reaction product of an epoxy component and an epoxy-reactive component at a molar ratio of epoxy-reactive groups of the epoxy-reactive component to epoxy groups of the epoxy component from 0.95:1 to 1.5:1, and wherein the epoxy-reactive component comprises a cashew nutshell liquid; and an isocyanate component comprising an isocyanate compound having at least two isocyanate functionalities.

2 . The curable coating composition of claim 1 further comprising a pigment and/or an extender.

3 . The curable coating composition of claim 2 having a pigment volume concentration of from 10% to 70%.

4 . The curable coating composition of claim 1 , wherein the cashew nutshell liquid comprises cardanol, cardol, or a mixture thereof.

5 . The curable coating composition of claim 1 , wherein the epoxy component comprises from 90 wt % to 100 wt % of an epoxy resin having at least two epoxy functionalities, based on the total weight of the epoxy component.

6 . The curable coating composition of claim 1 , wherein the polyol has an epoxy group content of no more than 1 wt %, based on the weight of the polyol.

7 . The curable coating composition of claim 1 , wherein from 90 wt % to 100 wt % of the polyol has at least two hydroxyl groups per molecule, based on the weight of the polyol.

8 . The curable coating composition of claim 1 , wherein the polyol is a mixture of a first polyol having no more than three hydroxyl groups per molecule and a second polyol having at least 4 hydroxyl groups per molecule.

9 . The curable coating composition of claim 1 , wherein the epoxy component comprises a diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A, a diglycidyl ether of bisphenol F, or a mixture thereof.

10 . The curable coating composition of claim 1 , wherein the molar ratio of a) total isocyanate-reactive groups of the isocyanate-reactive component to b) total isocyanate groups of the isocyanate component is from 0.5:1 to 2:1.

11 . The curable coating composition of claim 1 , wherein the molar ratio of the epoxy-reactive groups of the epoxy-reactive component to the epoxy groups of the epoxy component is from 0.95:1 to 1.1:1.

12 . The curable coating composition of claim 1 , further comprising a catalyst, a solvent, a reactive diluent, a non-reactive diluent, or mixtures thereof.

13 . A method of preparing the curable coating composition of claim 1 , comprising admixing:
an isocyanate-reactive component comprising a polyol, wherein the polyol is a reaction product of an epoxy component and an epoxy-reactive component at a molar ratio of epoxy-reactive groups of the epoxy-reactive component to epoxy groups of the epoxy component from 0.95:1 to 1.5:1, and wherein the epoxy-reactive component comprises a cashew nutshell liquid; and an isocyanate component comprising an isocyanate compound having at least two isocyanate functionalities.
