An object of the present disclosure is to provide a golf ball from which stains are easily removed. The present disclosure provides a golf ball comprising a golf ball body and a paint film composed of at least one layer and formed on a surface of the golf ball body, wherein an outermost layer of the paint film contains, as a base resin, a polyurethane obtained by a reaction between a polyisocyanate composition and a polyol composition, and the outermost layer of the paint film has tackiness of less than 0.294 N measured with a friction tester.

The present invention relates to polyol blends containing a polyol and a polyphenol alkoxylate, i.e. an alkoxylated polyphenol, and coatings prepared from these blends. The polyol blends have the advantage of a low residual polyphenol content and have desirable viscosity characteristics without the need for diluents or solvents which could result in unwanted VOC emissions. In another aspect of the invention, polyester polyols are prepared using polyphenol alkoxyiates. Coatings prepared using these polyol compositions have improved salt spray corrosion resistance, along with a variety of other excellent coating performance properties. Also, the polyols used herein can contain a significant recycle and biorenewable content, making these blends and coatings sustainable alternatives to petroleum based polyol products.

Thermoplastic films are disclosed that are suitable for use as paint protection films. The films include a thermoplastic polymer layer comprising a thermoplastic polyurethane polymer and a polyvinyl acetal polymer. The films further comprise an adhesive layer. The thermoplastic films, when tested by ASTM D-412, exhibit a stress at 5% strain of no greater than 200 psi.

Thermoplastic films are disclosed that are suitable for use as auto wraps. The films include a thermoplastic polymer layer comprising a thermoplastic polyurethane polymer and a polyvinyl acetal polymer. The films further comprise a patterned adhesive layer. The thermoplastic films, when tested by a 25% Heat Relaxation Test at a thickness of about 0.006 inches, exhibit a final load from about 0.02 to about 0.3 pounds force; and when tested by a 25% Elastic Recovery test, exhibit a residual strain at one minute of 2% or greater.
