Ɠ American Coatings Association 2020 Abstract Novel malonate-functional polyesters from biobased and potentially biobased monomers were developed and cured through the base-catalyzed carbon-Michael addition reaction with acryloyl-functional oligomers. Both drop-in monomers, such as fully biobased diethyl malonate, and alternative raw materials, such as isosorbide and vegetable oil, were introduced. Isosorbide-based polyesters show improved performance to humidity in terms of adhesion on epoxy-amine primer, while vegetable oil-containing resins lead to improved coating appearance due to better flow and levelling. This study demonstrates that biobased malonate resins, having renewable contents up to 53%, offer attractive performance benefits in 2K RMA paints. It is anticipated that, with the development of additional fully biobased polyols, renewable contents in excess of 80% can be achieved. This paper was presented at the 15th Coatings Science International Conference on June 24ā€“29, 2019, in Noordwijk, the Netherlands. B. Noordover (&) Allnex The Netherlands B.V, Synthesebaan 1, P.O.

Introduction Recently, a Real (or: Carbon) Michael addition (RMA) chemistry-based high solids 2K coatings system was developed that is suitable for a range of applications on metal, primer, concrete, wood and plastic substrates.1ā€“3 This technology facilitates improvements in productivity, energy savings, an improved EH&S profile and an overall enhanced property profile in terms of chemical resistance, mechanical performance and durability. In this basecatalyzed system, polyester RMA donor resins having activated Cā€“H functionalities are reacted with acryloylfunctional oligomeric RMA acceptors (Scheme 1).4,5 By using a blocked base catalyst combined with a kinetic control additive package, the pot life and drying time can be decoupled, meaning that a long pot life can be combined with fast curing. Scheme 2a shows how the strong base (OH ) can be blocked by a dialkyl carbonate. Subsequent reaction of the alkyl carbonate anion with an acidic compound leads to decarboxylation of the protonated alkyl carbonate (i.e., an instable carbonic acid) and formation of a strong base which can perform a Michael addition reaction (Scheme 2b). Note that this deblocking step is an equilibrium reaction. In a paint container with a low surface to volume ratio, ev
