A method for forming a multilayer coating film, comprising the steps of applying a color paint (W) to a substrate to form a colored coating film; applying an effect pigment dispersion (X) to the colored coating film, wherein the effect pigment dispersion (X) contains an effect pigment (x2), and the content of the effect pigment (x2) in the effect pigment dispersion (X) is within a range of 15 to 80 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the total solids content in the effect pigment dispersion (X), to form an effect first base coating film; applying a transparent colored second base paint (Y) containing a color pigment (y2) to form a transparent colored second base coating film; and applying a clear paint (Z) to form a clear coating film, wherein the clear paint (Z) contains a hydroxy-containing acrylic resin (z1) and an aliphatic triisocyanate compound (z2-1) having a molecular weight within a range of 200 to 350.

The present invention relates to a process for producing a solid, internally and externally blocked polyurethane curing agent based on a (cyclo)aliphatic polyisocyanate, in which, in the sequence of steps a) to d), a) i) at least one internally blocked (cyclo)aliphatic polyisocyanate and ii) at least one lactam and/or at least one aliphatic alcohol are dissolved in a solvent to produce a reaction mixture, b) the reaction mixture is heated and reacted, c) the reacted reaction mixture is cooled until product precipitates, and d) liquid solvent and any unreacted dissolved reactants and precipitated product are mechanically separated from one another.

The present application provides a storage-stable polyisocyanate composition and a preparation method. The polyisocyanate composition is obtained by selecting one or more diisocyanate from aliphatic diisocyanates and alicyclic diisocyanates, and reacting same with an alcohol compound; the polyisocyanate composition contains an isocyanurate group, a uretdione group, a carbamate group, and an allophanate group; within the polyisocyanate composition, the molar ratio of the carbamate group/(uretdione group+isocyanurate group) is 0.01-0.2, and preferably 0.01-0.1. Compared to existing techniques, the present application has the advantage of a noticeable increase in system viscosity of uretdione polyisocyanate during storage. With the present application, by means of controlling the ratio of the carbamate group/(uretdione group+isocyanurate group) within the system, the increase in viscosity of a product during storage is inhibited, thereby improving the storage stability of the product.

The present application relates to aziridine functional compounds with reduced genotoxicity and good crosslinking efficiency, for use in the preparation of, for example, coatings.
