The invention relates to the use of Real Michael Addition (RMA) crosslinkable composition for the preparation of a floor coating, to special RMA crosslinkable compositions with long working time and very short service time and low VOC and to specific floor compositions, in particular for use in high build floor coating applications.

An alkyd polymer composition for use in low volatile organic compound (VOC) containing products that exhibits a Gardner-Holdt viscosity with 30 weight % mineral spirits at 25° C. that is less than or equal to Z4, a thy-hard time of less than 10 hours when tested with metal driers according to ASTM D 1640-03, and a clear appearance. The alkyd polymer composition includes, as polymerized units an alkyd polymer of one or more fatty acids; a sugar alcohol having at least 6 carbon atoms; a polyol with four or more hydroxyl functional groups; and an aromatic polyacid with two carboxylic acid groups located in a meta-position relative to one another. The alkyd polymer composition includes at least one aliphatic oxide ring having one or more peaks located between 75 to 90 ppm as measured using C.sup.13 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.

The present invention relates generally to the field of scoring cards. More specifically, the present invention relates to a scorecard device comprised of a body further comprised of at least one etchable surface portion and a non-etchable surface portion. The etchable surface portion can be etched using a golf tee, fingernail, or other apparatus to allow a user to mark the device with a score or other sport or activity related markings. One embodiment of the device may be comprised of at least one crease that allows the device to fold. The device further includes a method of manufacturing the scorecard device.

The invention relates to a method for dual curing a RMA crosslinkable resin coating, to RMA crosslinkable compositions and to resins for use in the method.
