Thermoplastic articles are molded from thermoplastic polyurethane compounds including blends of aromatic polycaprolactone thermoplastic polyurethane and other aromatic thermoplastic polyurethane selected from aromatic polyester thermoplastic polyurethane, aromatic polyether thermoplastic, and combinations thereof. The thermoplastic articles exhibit enhanced stain resistance, as represented by achieving a rating of 2 or better according to Blue Jean Abrasion Test, relative to thermoplastic articles molded from thermoplastic polyurethane compounds including either aromatic polyester thermoplastic polyurethane or aromatic polyether thermoplastic only, while also having good clarity (i.e., low haze) and other desirable properties. The thermoplastic articles can be especially useful as protective cases for handheld electronic devices.

The present invention relates to an aqueous coating composition comprising a multi-aziridine compound and a carboxylic acid functional polymer, characterized in that (i) the composition is an aqueous dispersion having a pH ranging from 8 to 14, (ii) the aqueous dispersion comprises particles X which particles X comprise multi aziridine compound and particles Y which particles Y comprise carboxylic acid functional polymer, and (iii) said multi-aziridine compound has: a) from 2 to 6 of the following structural units A: b) one or more linking chains wherein each one of these linking chains links two of the structural units A; and c) a molecular weight in the range from 500 to 10000 Daltons. ##STR00001##
