HIGHLIGHTS

CoatOSil 7001 copolymer provided improved flow and leveling properties in theclearcoat formulations tested when compared to a commercially available flow and leveling additive and a control formulation with no additive. These flow and leveling improvements were quantified in formulations using two distinct acrylic-polyol binder resin systems. Application is not limited to these two types of acrylic-polyols and may be considered for use in a wider formulation array of acrylic-polyol resins and blends. Hydroxy functional polymers and amine functional polymers, compatible with main acrylic-polyol binders would also be excellent candidate resins to consider for formulations with specific performance requirements, along with flow and leveling properties provided by CoatOSil 7001 copolymer.. An initial starting point for incorporating CoatOSil 7001 copolymer into coating formulations would be ~0.06%wt on 100 grams Total Resin Binder (Polyol + Polyisocyanate) Solids or ~0.10%wt on100 grams resin solids basis on polyol portion.
