A coating composition for providing anti-corrosive, wear-resistance, and sound dampening properties to plastic and metallic substrates. The composition comprises at least one functionalized resin and at least one dry lubricant in a solvent comprising a ketone, and can further comprise at least one of a cross-linking agent, a cross-linking catalyst, a co-solvent, and a colorant. Some compositions comprise multiple ketones and/or multiple dry lubricants, and can be formulated and applied to a substrate without producing hydrogen gas. Substrates coated with the coating composition can include metal components, particularly springs, washers, and other elements, within the liftgate support struts in a van, SUV, or other hatchback vehicle.

The invention relates to a high temperature curable coating composition comprising: (a) at least one film-forming resin, (b) at least one crosslinker for the film-forming resin, wherein the crosslinker is not substantially reactive at temperatures under 120° C., and (c) an anticorrosive agent, which comprises a combination of a magnesium compound and a water-soluble Li salt. The invention further provides a method of coating a metal substrate and a coated metal substrate. The resulting coating has excellent anticorrosive properties without the use of Cr(VI) compounds, while being suitable for high temperature cure conditions typical in coil coatings.

A curative for epoxidized plant-based oils and epoxidized natural rubber is created from the reaction between a naturally occurring polyfunctional acid and an epoxidized plant-based oil is disclosed. The curative may be used to produce at least one of six different materials, wherein each type of material may be configured as a thermosetting elastomer that is crosslinked with β-hydroxyester linkages. The materials may be configured as a leather-like material, a foam material, a molded elastomer, a coating, an adhesive, and/or a rigid or semi-rigid material. Illustrative articles made from any combination of the six materials may be recycled using a mechano-chemical process to de-crosslink the thermosetting elastomer.

Disclosed herein is a polyhydroxy ketal adduct obtained by the esterification of a hydrocarbon polyol by at least 1.5 equivalents of a ketocarboxy to produce an intermediate ketocarboxylic ester. The intermediate polyketocarboxylic ester is then ketalized to produce the polyhydroxyketal adduct, which can be used to provide a polymeric composition.
