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 comprising 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 a boiling point of greater than 100° C. and a reactive functional group that reacts with the reactive functional group on the polymer at a temperature that is lower than the boiling point of the reactive diluent. Also disclosed are substrates having a cured coating thereon, the coating formed from the cured coating composition, and methods for providing sound and vibration damping.

First claim

We claim:

1. A coating composition comprising:
a mixture comprising:
(a) a polymer prepared from one or more 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 remains unreacted during formation of the polymer; and
(b) a reactive diluent having a boiling point of greater than 100° C. and a reactive functional group that reacts with the reactive functional group on the polymer at a temperature that is lower than the boiling point of the reactive diluent; and
a filler material,
wherein the polymer is dispersed in the reactive diluent and 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 glycidyl (meth)acrylate.

3. The coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polymer comprises from 1 to 70 weight percent of the functional monomer(s), based on a total weight of the polymer.

4. The coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polymer is prepared from one or more of the functional monomers and one or more monomers having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond without an additional reactive functional group.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. The coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polymer is substantially free of acid functional groups.

8. The coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the reactive functional group of the reactive diluent comprises an epoxy functional group.

9. The coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the reactive diluent is a mono-functional reactive diluent.

10. The coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the reactive diluent is a poly-functional reactive diluent.

11. 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 reactive diluent.

12. The coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the mixture further comprises a second polymer that is dispersed in the reactive diluent.

13. The coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein a mixture of the polymer and the reactive diluent, in the absence of the filler material or any other component, has a Brookfield viscosity of from 1,000 centipoise to 25,000 centipoise measured at 100 rpm with a #6 spindle at ambient temperature.

14. The coating composition according to claim 1 , further comprising a catalyst that is capable of catalyzing a reaction between the polymer and the reactive diluent.

15. The coating composition according to claim 1 , further comprising an antioxidant, a plasticizer, or combinations thereof.

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