Abstract

A coating composition comprising a hydrolyzable silyl-containing (meth)acrylic copolymer which is obtained from copolymerization of an alkyl (meth)acrylate with a silane compound having a long-chain alkylene linker between a hydrolyzable functional group and a radically polymerizable unsaturated group, and an organometallic catalyst is low-temperature curable and isocyanate-free. Even though the silane content is increased for coating hardness, the composition maintains alkali resistance and has good adhesion and solvent resistance when applied onto substrates.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A curable coating composition comprising (A) 100 parts by weight of a hydrolyzable silyl-containing (meth)acrylic copolymer and (B) 0.01 to 10 parts by weight of an organometallic catalyst, wherein
said copolymer is obtained from copolymerization of (a1) an alkyl (meth)acrylate and (a2) a silane compound having a hydrolyzable functional group and a radically polymerizable unsaturated group, in a molar ratio (a1:a2)) of 80:20 to 20:80, the silane compound (a2) having the general formula (1):

wherein R 1 and R 2 are each independently an alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms or aryl, R 3 is (meth)acryloxy, vinyl or styryl, m is an integer of 8 to 14, and n is an integer of 0 to 2.

2. The composition of claim 1 wherein the molar ratio (a1:a2) of alkyl (meth)acrylate (a1) to silane compound (a2) is 60:40 to 40:60.

3. The composition of claim 1 wherein the silane compound (a2) has the general formula (2):

wherein R 4 is hydrogen or methyl.

4. The composition of claim 1 wherein the organometallic catalyst (B) contains titanium.

5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the organometallic catalyst (B) is selected from the group consisting of titanium base catalysts, aluminum base catalysts, tin base catalysts, zirconium base catalysts, and bismuth base catalysts.

6. The composition of claim 4 , wherein the organometallic catalyst (B) is a tetraalkyl orthotitanate or a partial hydrolytic condensate thereof.

7. The composition of claim 6 , wherein the organometallic catalyst (B) is selected from the group consisting of tetrapropyl orthotitanate and tetrabutyl orthotitanate.

8. An article comprising a substrate and, on a surface thereof, a cured coating of a curable coating composition comprising (A) 100 parts by weight of a hydrolyzable silyl-containing (meth)acrylic copolymer and (B) 0.01 to 10 parts by weight of an organometallic catalyst, wherein said copolymer is obtained from copolymerization of (a1) an alkyl (meth)acrylate and (a2) a silane compound having a hydrolyzable functional group and a radically polymerizable unsaturated group, in a molar ratio (a1:a2) of 80:20 to 20:80, the silane compound (a2) having the general formula (1):

wherein R 1 and R 2 are each independently an alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms or aryl, R 3 is (meth)acryloxy, vinyl or styryl, m is an integer of 8 to 14, and n is an integer of 0 to 2.

9. The article of claim 8 wherein the substrate is an inorganic substrate.

10. The article of claim 8 , wherein the substrate is a polymeric substrate, a metal substrate, a painted surface, glass, a ceramic, concrete, wood, a slate, or a textile.

11. The article of claim 9 , wherein curing takes place within 10 hours at 25° C.
