The present disclosure is directed to a process for the preparation of curable, (meth)acrylate functionalized polysiloxanes. In addition, the present disclosure is directed to a curable, (meth)acrylate-functionalized polysiloxane obtained thereby and curable compositions comprising these curable, (meth)acrylate-functionalized polysiloxanes.

The present invention relates to aspartic acid ester-functional polysiloxanes, their use in the manufacture of curable compositions using polyisocyanate crosslinkers, in particular, in the manufacture of coating compositions, cured compositions obtained from said curable compositions and articles comprising the cured compositions.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a weather-resistant hard coat composition for a metal, the composition being capable of efficiently forming a coating film excelling in weather resistance, scratch resistance, and flexibility. The present invention provides: a weather-resistant hard coat composition for a metal, the composition containing a polyorganosilsesquioxane having a constituent unit represented by Formula (1); a cured product thereof; and a coated metal substrate having a metal substrate and a coating film formed on at least one surface of the metal substrate. The coating film is a layer of a cured product of the weather-resistant hard coat composition for a metal. [In Formula (1), R.sup.1 represents a group containing an active energy ray-curable functional group.]
