Abstract
Abstract An aqueous dispersed thermosetting coating composition comprises a high Tg acrylic latex polymer containing reactive hydroxyl and/or carboxyl groups, or similar reactive groups, for cross-linking the acrylic polymer, and a polyvinylidene fluoride polymer, wherein the composition is adapted to be heat cured at temperatures above about 350 DEG F. The polyvinyl fluoride polymer fuses and becomes homogenously dispersed throughout the thermoset acrylic-melamine matrix polymer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
84 words
An aqueous heat curable coating composition for use as a protective surface coating wherein the composition contains a thermosetting binder composition comprising: on a weight basis, between about 4% and 95% fluorocarbon resin, between 4% and 95% high Tg reactive acrylic emulsion polymer having a Tg greater than 50° C., and between 1% and 30% melamine resin adapted to react with said acrylic polymer upon heating to form a cross-linked matrix, said composition adapted to be heat cured at temperatures above about 177° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
84 words
An aqueous heat curable coating composition for use as a protective surface coating wherein the composition contains a thermosetting binder composition comprising: on a weight basis, between about 4% and 95% fluorocarbon resin, between 4% and 95% high Tg reactive acrylic emulsion polymer having a Tg greater than 50° C., and between 1% and 30% melamine resin adapted to react with said acrylic polymer upon heating to form a cross-linked matrix, said composition adapted to be heat cured at temperatures above about 177° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the acrylic polymer contains reactive groups selected from amides, carboxyl or hydroxyl groups.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
The composition in claim 2 wherein the composition can be heat cured at temperatures between about 177° C. and 260° C.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
77 words
In a process for heat curing an aqueous thermosetting coating composition containing fluorocarbon resin, reactive acrylic polymer, and melamine adapted to react with said acrylic polymer upon heating, the improvement comprising: providing a reactive acrylic emulsion polymer with a Tg greater than 50° C. whereby said acrylic emulsion polymer and said fluorocarbon polymer become uniformly interdispersed upon heating above 177° C., whereby the composition heat cures to provide a cross-linked polymeric matrix containing fluorocarbon homogenously dispersed therein.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
77 words
In a process for heat curing an aqueous thermosetting coating composition containing fluorocarbon resin, reactive acrylic polymer, and melamine adapted to react with said acrylic polymer upon heating, the improvement comprising: providing a reactive acrylic emulsion polymer with a Tg greater than 50° C. whereby said acrylic emulsion polymer and said fluorocarbon polymer become uniformly interdispersed upon heating above 177° C., whereby the composition heat cures to provide a cross-linked polymeric matrix containing fluorocarbon homogenously dispersed therein.
