[0025] The term "group" is intended to represent both a specific moiety and a broader class of substituted and unsubstituted structures that include the moiety. Thus, when the term "group" is used to describe a chemical substituent, the described chemical includes the unsubstituted group (e.g., the moiety) and groups having, for example, O, N, Si, or S atoms in the chain (such as alkoxy groups), as well as carbonyl groups or other conventional substitutions. When the term "moiety" is used to describe a chemical compound or substituent, only unsubstituted chemicals are intended to be included. For example, the phrase "alkyl group" is intended to include not only pure open-chain saturated hydrocarbon alkyl substituents such as methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, t-butyl, heptyl, dodecyl, octadecyl, amyl, 2-ethylhexyl, etc., but also alkyl substituents bearing additional substituents known in the art, such as hydroxy, alkoxy, alkylsulfonyl, halogen atoms, cyano, nitro, amino, carboxyl, etc. Thus, "alkyl group" includes ether groups, haloalkyl, nitroalkyl, carboxyalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, sulfoalkyl, etc. On the other hand, the phrase "alkyl moiety" is limited to include only pure open chain saturated hydrocarbon alkyl substituents, such as, for example, methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, t-butyl, heptyl, dodecyl, octadecyl, amyl, 2-ethylhexyl, and the like.

[0026] As used herein, the term "substantially" has the same meaning as "significantly" and can be understood to modify the term that follows it by at least about 90%, at least about 95%, or at least about 98%.

In the context of the foregoing phrases, the compositions of the present invention contain less than the recited amount of the compound, regardless of whether the compound itself is present in unreacted form or whether it has reacted with one or more other materials.

[0027] As used herein, the term "substantially not" has the same meaning as "not significantly" and can be understood to have the opposite meaning of "substantially," i.e., modifying the term that follows it by 25% or less, 10% or less, 5% or less, or 2% or less.

[0028] The term "about" is used herein in conjunction with numerical values ​​to include normal variations in measurement as would be expected by one of ordinary skill in the art, and is understood to have the same meaning as "approximately," encompassing a typical range of error, such as ±5% of the stated value.

[0029] Terms such as "a," "an," and "the" are not intended to refer to a singular entity only, but include a general class of which a particular example may be used for illustration.

[0030] The terms "a," "an," and "the" are used interchangeably with the term "at least one." The phrases "at least one of" and "including at least one of," followed by a list, refer to any one of the items in the list, and any combination of two or more items in the list.

[0031] As used herein, the term "or" is generally used in its ordinary sense, including "and / or," unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. The term "and / or" refers to one or all of the listed elements or a combination of any two or more of the listed elements.

When a range of values ​​is stated "up to" or "at least" a particular value, then all values ​​are included within that range.

[0033] As used herein, the terms "have," "having," "include," "including," "comprise," "comprising," and the like are used in their open-ended sense and generally mean "including, but not limited to."

[0036] The present disclosure relates generally to crosslinkable coating systems. The present disclosure further relates to methods of coating articles with crosslinkable coating systems and to articles coated therewith.

[0037] A wide variety of coatings have been used to coat surfaces of articles, structures, packaging, and the like. For example, protective and / or decorative coatings may be applied to wood, wood products, metals, polymers, packaging materials, and the like. With respect to coatings in general, it is desirable to use coating systems that are free of isocyanates and formaldehyde. Additionally, there is a need to find alternative crosslinking chemistries and methodologies to systems that contain isocyanates or formaldehyde. In particular, there is a need to find alternative crosslinking chemistries and methodologies for two-component coating systems that typically contain isocyanates, and one-component coating systems that typically contain formaldehyde.

[0038] The coating system of the present disclosure can be used for many purposes and to coat a variety of materials. The coating system is suitable for use as a coating for wood, wood products, metals, polymers, packaging materials, and the like. The coating system can be used, for example, to coat structural features, architectural elements, articles, containers, packaging, and the like. All such items may be collectively referred to herein as "articles." The present disclosure provides methods of coating articles with the coating composition, and articles coated with the coating composition.

[0039] According to one embodiment, the crosslinkable coating system is based on two reactive compounds, an amide component and an aldehyde, optionally a catalyst, and optionally an amine. The amide and aldehyde can react to form a 2-hydroxy-alkylamide. This product can further react with another amide to form a bisamide. The reaction can be characterized as follows:

[0040] [ka]

[0041] The amide may be a diamide or polyamide. When a diamide is reacted with a dialdehyde, the reaction product can be further reacted to form oligomers and polymers. The aldehyde may optionally be in a protected form, such as an acetal or hydrate. In one embodiment, the crosslinkable coating system comprises the reaction product of an amide and an aldehyde. In one embodiment, the crosslinkable coating system comprises the reaction product of a primary amide and an aldehyde. In one embodiment, the crosslinkable coating system comprises the reaction product of a diamide and an aldehyde. In one embodiment, the crosslinkable coating system comprises the reaction product of a diamide and a dialdehyde. In one embodiment, the crosslinkable coating system comprises the oligomeric or polymeric reaction product of a diamide and a dialdehyde. The crosslinkable coating system may also comprise the reaction product of one or more different unsubstituted or substituted amides with one or more different aldehydes.

[0042] The combination of an amide and an aldehyde provides a crosslinkable coating composition that is free or substantially free of formaldehyde, isocyanates, or both. According to one embodiment, the crosslinkable coating composition is free or substantially free of both formaldehyde and isocyanates. Many prior art one-component compositions contain formaldehyde. The crosslinkable coating composition of the present disclosure can be a one-component composition that is free or substantially free of formaldehyde. Many prior art two-component compositions contain isocyanates. The crosslinkable coating composition of the present disclosure can be a two-component composition that is free or substantially free of isocyanates.

[0043] The coating composition can be used to prepare polymeric coatings that are free or substantially free of formaldehyde and structural units derived from formaldehyde. The coating composition can be used to prepare polymeric coatings that are free or substantially free of isocyanates and structural units derived from isocyanates. The coating composition can be used to prepare polymeric coatings that are free or substantially free of formaldehyde and structural units derived from formaldehyde, and free or substantially free of isocyanates and structural units derived from isocyanates.

[0044] In some embodiments, the coating composition of the present disclosure may be a one-component system or a two-component system. In other words, the coating composition may be a one-part system or a two-part system. A coating composition that is a one-part system refers to a coating system in which the components are premixed, i.e., the reagents are provided as a premixed mixture. Such a premixed mixture does not need to be mixed immediately before applying the coating to an article or surface to be coated with the coating system. In embodiments in which the coating composition is a one-part system, the reactivity of the reagents (unsubstituted or substituted amide, aldehyde, and optional catalyst) can be selected so that the reaction does not occur too early (e.g., before application of the coating composition). For example, the amide and / or aldehyde can be selected to have higher or lower reactivity. Furthermore, at least some of the functional groups of the reagents can be protected using protecting groups (e.g., by forming an acetal group or a hydrate on the aldehyde) that prevent reaction from occurring until the protecting group is removed.

[0045] A coating composition that is a two-part coating system refers to a coating system composition that is not in a premixed form. It refers to a coating system that is comprised of two mixtures of the coating system reagents. The reagents in the two mixtures are substantially non-reactive until the two mixtures (or "two parts") are combined together. Combining the two "parts" of a two-part coating system allows the reagents to react to form a coating.
