A toner includes a polyester resin including a polyester resin component A (A) insoluble in tetrahydrofuran; and a polyester resin component B (B) soluble in tetrahydrofuran. The toner has a first glass transition temperature (Tg1st) of from 20 C. to 50 C., measured at a first temperature rising in differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and satisfies the following formulae (1) and (2):
T=1/{a/(TgA+273)+b/(TgB+273)}273(1)
TTgAB>30a(2)
wherein a and b represent weight ratios of (A) and (B) to a total weight of (A) and (B), and satisfy the equation a+b=1; and TgA, TgB and TgAB represent second glass transition temperatures (Tg2nd), measured at a second temperature rising in differential scanning calorimetry, of (A), (B), and a mixture of (A) and (B), respectively.

This invention relates to a coating composition, a method for coating of a metallic substrate as well as the use of a chain-extended aspartate prepolymer for improving the early hardness of the coating composition and in a two-component coating composition.

A natural oil derived blocked prepolymer is a reaction product of a composition including an isocyanate terminated prepolymer that is the reaction product of a mixture that has at least one or more polyols including at least one polyol having a secondary amine initiator or a tertiary amine initiator and a stoichiometric excess of one or more organic polyisocyanate components of which the stoichiometric excess of isocyanate to alcohol moieties (NCO:OH) is from 1.1:1 to 4:1, and a natural oil derived blocking agent. The viscosity of the natural oil derived blocked prepolymer is from 50,000 Pa*s to 300,000 Pa*s. An acrylic plastisol composition comprises the natural oil blocked prepolymer, one or more acrylic powders, one or more plasticizers, one or more amine crosslinkers, and optionally, one or more fillers.
