Benefits of technology

[0010] The compositions of the invention can be applied in convenient manner, e.g., spraying, to form films or coatings on substrates. The resultant films or coatings can exhibit exceptional physical properties such as high hardness, flexibility, abrasion resistance, and chemical resistance. Durable and light weight, films and coatings of the invention exhibit oil-repellency, water-repellency, and stain resistance. The invention provides polyurethane and polyurea coatings that provide heretofore unattainable resistance to staining and fouling.

Problems solved by technology

Although such coatings have been used in a variety of applications, a deficiency has been the tendency of such coatings to stain and / or foul.
Such staining or fouling may be of mere aesthetic concern or may, in some cases, represent an important functional or performance deficiency.
Such sands tend to stick to equipment and vehicles used to move and process them.
As a result, efficiency is reduced as the deposits build up, increasing the weight of moving vehicles, clogging handling chutes, etc.
When the rail car is emptied significant quantities of the load remain stuck to the car.
As a result, as much as 25% of the potential load carrying capacity of the rail cars might be lost.
Removal is a labor and cost intensive exercise.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 882,790, filed Dec. 29, 2006.FIELD [0002] The present invention relates to polyurea compositions and polyurethane compositions for forming coatings and coatings formed from such compositions. In particular the invention relates to stain and fouling resistant coatings, e.g., for use on rail cars, containers, vehicles, etc. BACKGROUND [0003] It has been known to use polyurethane compositions and polyurea compositions for forming coatings on substrates for a variety of purposes. Such compositions have been applied in a variety of approaches including spraying. [0004] Although such coatings have been used in a variety of applications, a deficiency has been the tendency of such coatings to stain and / or foul. Such staining or fouling may be of mere aesthetic concern or may, in some cases, represent an important functional or performance deficiency. [0005] A devel...
