The present application relates to a resin or polymer system suitable for two-component compositions, and a resin or polymer system configured for durable coatings with only thin coating weights. The resins and polymer systems of this invention provide high performance extremely thin, low gloss coatings with excellent adhesion, abrasion, scratch and chemical resistance The resins include a polyester component with one or more polyester polyols having a hydroxyl value of about 50 to about 300 and a polyurea component with one or more polyester polyol grafted polyurea polymers having a hydroxyl value of about 20 to about 100. These resin or polymer systems and two-component solvent borne coating compositions including such resin or polymer systems are surprisingly capable of achieving strong adhesion, excellent linear abrasion, and high chemical resistance all at the same time in a dry film thickness of about 2 mil or less, in some instances, about 1.2 mils or less, and in other instances, even about 1 mil or less.

The present disclosure provides a solid propellant binder composition for a three-dimensional network of an azide polymer comprising hydroxyl termini, which connects the ends of the azide polymer with urethane groups formed by reaction with a difunctional isocyanate compound, and connects the azide groups in the side chain of the azide polymer with a triazole or triazoline formed by reaction with a difunctional alkyne or alkene, or with an asymmetric difunctional alkyne compound, to finally cure the azide polymer into a three-dimensional network structure, thereby improving the mechanical properties of the polymer network and enhancing the energy of the propellant to which the azide polymer is applied, while being less affected by the external environment.

The invention relates to coating compositions which have a low VOC (less than 250 g/l), are fast drying, and have excellent erosion resistance. These coating compositions comprise a film forming resin comprise one or more polyamine(s) containing secondary amine groups and specific aliphatic and/or aromatic esters. The coating compositions are particularly suitable for use in coating wind blades. The present invention also relates to a method of protecting a substrate against rain erosion or solid particle erosion using the coating composition, a coated wind blade or a part thereof, and the use of specific ester(s) in a polyurea-based coating composition for improving the rain erosion resistance or solid-particle erosion resistance of a coating.
