Abstract

A curable clear coat component for use in a two-component clear coat coating composition system is provided. The curable clear coat component comprises A) a polyaspartic acid ester or a hydroxyl functional binder or a combination of both, and B) an antioxidant component comprising B1) a sterically hindered phenol antioxidant, and B2) an organophosphite antioxidant.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A curable clear coat component for use in a two-component clear coat coating composition system, said curable clear coat component comprising:
A) a combination of a polyaspartic acid ester and a hydroxyl functional binder, wherein the polyaspartic acid ester is a compound of formula (I)

wherein X represents an n-valent organic group obtained by removal of the amino groups from a primary polyamine or polyetheramine; R1 and R2 are the same or different organic groups which are inert towards isocyanate groups, R3, R4 and R5 are the same or different and represent hydrogen or organic groups that are inert towards isocyanate groups; and n represents an integer with a value of 2 or 3;
wherein the hydroxyl functional binder comprises a combination of a hydroxyl-functional (meth)acrylic copolymer, characterized as having a number average molar mass Mn of 1,000-20,000 g/mol, an acid value of 0-100 mg KOH/g, and a hydroxyl value of 40-400 mg KOH/g, and a polyester oligomer, wherein the polyester oligomer comprises: (i) at least one polycarboxylic acid anhydride, (ii) at least one polyol having at least three hydroxyl groups, and (iii) at least one glycidyl ester of a saturated monocarboxylic acid branched in the alpha position, wherein the saturated monocarboxylic acid branched in the alpha position is selected from a group consisting of: alpha-alkylalkane monocarboxylic acid having 7 to 13 carbon atoms in the acid molecule, alpha, alpha'-dialkylalkane monocarboxylic acids having 7 to 13 carbon atoms in the acid molecule, and mixtures thereof; and
B) an antioxidant component comprising:
B1) a sterically hindered phenol antioxidant comprising butylated hydroxy toluene (BHT) and
B2) an organophosphite antioxidant comprising trisnonylphenylphosphite (TNPP) or triphenylphosphite (TPP),

wherein the component A) is present in an amount of about 60% to about 95% by weight of the overall curable clear coat component, wherein the antioxidant component B) is present in an amount of 1.5% to 2.5% by weight of the overall curable clear coat component, and wherein the antioxidant component B) comprises the sterically hindered phenol antioxidant B1) and the organophosphite antioxidant B2) in a ratio by weight of about 3.0:0.5 to about 0.5:3.0,
wherein the curable clear coat component excludes a polyisocyanate cross-linking agent.

2. The curable clear coat component of claim 1 , wherein the component A) is present in an amount of about 70% to about 90% by weight of the overall curable clear coat component, and wherein the antioxidant component B) comprises the sterically hindered phenol antioxidant B1) and the organophosphite antioxidant B2) in a ratio by weight of about 2.0:1.0 to about 1.0:2.0.

3. The curable clear coat component of claim 2 , wherein the polyester oligomer comprises as component (i): hexahydrophthalic anhydride, methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride, trimellitic anhydride and/or phthalic anhydride; as component (ii): trimethylolpropane, trimethylolethane, ditrimethylolpropane, monopentaerythritol and/or dipentaerythritol; and as component (iii): the glycidyl ester of versatic acid (neodecanoic glycidyl ester).

4. The curable clear coat component of claim 1 , wherein the organophosphite antioxidant component B2) consists of triphenylphosphite.
