The present invention relates to a coating composition and a coating film prepared therefrom, and more particularly, to a coating composition for preparing a coating film exhibiting more improved mechanical and optical properties together with self-healing properties and impact resistance; and to a coating film prepared therefrom.

A water-based coating composition is described herein. The composition includes an aqueous dispersion derived from an ethylenically unsaturated monomer and one or more organic solvents. The composition when applied to a substrate and allowed to dry provides a wet look to the substrate.

A coated article is disclosed that includes a metal substrate and a coating composition disposed on at least a portion of the metal substrate. The coating can be formed from a composition that includes an acrylic copolymer, which is preferably the reaction product of ethylenically unsaturated monomers and a functional monomer. The functional monomer can be the reaction product of a multifunctional isocyanate and an ethylenically unsaturated nucleophilic monomer. The functional monomer preferably includes a blocked isocyanate group. The articles can be useful for packaging foods and beverages.

Electrically conductive masking tapes include an electrically conductive backing and an electrically conductive pressure sensitive adhesive layer. The pressure sensitive adhesive contains an acrylate-based copolymeric matrix, a crosslinker, an electrically conductive filler, and at least one antioxidant. The acrylate-based copolymeric matrix is the reaction product of a polymerizable mixture including at least one first alkyl(meth)acrylate monomer with a homopolymer Tg of less than −50° C., and at least one hydroxyl-functional alkyl(meth)acrylate with a homopolymer Tg of less than −10° C. The electrically conductive tape is capable of being laminated to and cleanly removed from a substrate surface, after being subjected to harsh conditions such as plasma vapor deposition conditions.
