Provided is a resin composition for producing a coating composition excellent in appearance, abrasion resistance, and hardness of a coating film. The resin composition of the present invention includes a compound A having a branched structure which has a terminal hydroxyl group, a polyisocyanate B, and an inorganic particle C, in which the inorganic particle C has a functional group enabling reacting with a hydroxyl group or an isocyanate group on a surface thereof.

The present disclosure provides for a metal chelated polyol liquid and/or a metal chelated polyether polyol liquid that can be used in an isocyanate-reactive composition and a reaction mixture for forming a polyurethane polymer. The metal chelated polyester polyol liquid is a reaction product of a chelating polyester polyol having a chelating moiety and a metal compound having a metal ion. The metal chelated polyether polyol liquid is a reaction product of a chelating polyether polyol having a chelating moiety and a metal compound having a metal ion. The chelating moiety of the chelating polyester polyol or the chelating polyether polyol chelates the metal ion to form the metal chelated polyester polyol liquid or the metal chelated polyether polyol liquid, respectively, having a mole ratio of the metal ion to the chelating moiety of 0.05:1 to 2:1.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards water-based compositions that include a reaction product formed by reacting a polyol and an aminopolycarboxylic compound.

Durable antibacterial coatings are prepared by inter-diffusing zwitterionic polyurethane in acrylic polyurethane. Bacterial attachment is substantially eliminated from the surface of the coatings due to the hydrophilicity of the zwitterionic polyurethane. Long-term antibacterial properties were observed for both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria even when the coatings were constantly challenged by mechanical abrasion.
