The present application relates to an adhesive composition capable of fixing a battery cell in a battery module and a battery pack. According to one example of the present application, there is provided a two-component urethane-based adhesive composition which has excellent storage stability and processability and is capable of providing physical properties required in related uses in a short time.

A coating composition having excellent adhesion between coating layers is provided. This disclosure is particularly directed to a 1K waterborne coating composition having hydrophobic polytrimethylene ether polyol containing crosslinkable functional hydroxyl groups. The 1K waterborne coating composition can be used in a multi-layer coating that can comprise a primer layer, a basecoat layer, and optionally, a clearcoat layer. The 1K waterborne coating composition of this disclosure can provide improved adhesion between coating layers, such as between a primer layer and a basecoat layer, between two or more basecoat layers, or between a basecoat layer and a clearcoat layer. This disclosure is further directed to a coating composition comprising components derived from renewable resources.
