An aerosol coating composition contains at least one film-forming resin, trans-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene and at least one propellant such as CO.sub.2. The aerosol coating composition is non-flammable and compatible with polyethylene terephthalate. The film-forming resin may be acrylic resins, alkyd resins or mixtures thereof. A glycol ether solvent may be present. The coating composition may have low toxicity, be non-ozone depleting, have low or no VOC, be low in maximum incremental reactivity and/or be low in global warming potential. A method of coating a substrate with the aerosol coating composition comprises providing at least one film-forming resin selected from the group consisting of acrylic resins, alkyd resins, and mixtures thereof and trans-1-chloro-trifluoropropene in a container comprising polyethylene terephthalate, which is charged with a propellant comprising carbon dioxide. The aerosol coating composition is non-flammable. The composition is applied to a substrate and allowed to dry.

A curable composition includes a polymer (A) including a structural unit represented by the following general formula (I), and a polythiol compound (B) having at least two thiol groups in one molecule:

##STR00001##

wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group having 2 to 18 carbon atoms or an aralkyl group having 7 to 18 carbon atoms, R.sup.4 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and n is an arbitrary integer equal to or greater than 0, and wherein at least one of R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 is one of the above groups having one or more carbon atoms and/or n is an integer equal to or greater than 1. The curable composition is excellent in curability and provides a flexible cured product.

Coated articles, methods and coating compositions containing (a) a crosslinkable carboxyl-functional acrylic polymer made by polymerizing monomers including acidic monomer, multi-ethylenically unsaturated monomer and optional styrene or substituted styrene, and (b) a nitrogen-containing carboxyl-reactive crosslinking agent such as a beta-hydroxyalkylamide or beta-hydroxyalkylurea compound. The coating composition is useful in coating metal substrates including interior or exterior surfaces of food or beverage cans. The cured coating compositions can exhibit both good flexibility and high Tg.

A low odor aqueous coating composition is described. The composition is a waterbased latex coating composition that includes a binder component with at least one copolymer and a neutralizing component. The composition dries in less than about 10 minutes at a temperature between about 5 to 35° C. and a relative humidity between about 30 and 95% with a pH of 9.5 or less. The coating composition can be used for applications such as road marking and coating exterior surfaces, where use of a low-odor coating is desired.

An innovative reactive resin system can be used for intumescent coating. Intumescent coatings are used in particular for fire protection of metallic components, such as girders in structural engineering. In a fire scenario, these coatings are reactively foamed and so form a fire-resistant insulating layer with low thermal conductivity around the metal girder, with the resultant insulation retarding premature failure of this component. The resin systems are prepared by an innovative process where the monomer fraction is polymerized only up to a maximum degree of 70%. The glass transition temperature of this polymeric component of the resultant composition is particularly low.

A restorable anti-glare film is disclosed. The restorable anti-glare film comprises a transparent substrate and a restorable anti-glare layer comprising a siloxane-containing urethane (meth)acrylate copolymer and a plurality of (meth)acrylic resin particles formed on the transparent substrate, wherein the weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the siloxane-containing urethane (meth)acrylate copolymer is between 4,000 and 60,000, and the (meth)acrylic resin particles have a 30% compressive strength of 14.7 MPa to 49 MPa and a recovery rate of more than 22%. The present restorable anti-glare film can provide a scratch-restorability and a stable and reliable anti-glare property.
