Abstract:
An aqueous thermosetting primer composition includes a polyurethane polymer, an acrylic polymer polymerized in a wax having crosslinkable functionality, and a crosslinking component that is reactive with the wax and at least one of the polyurethane polymer and the acrylic polymer. The polyurethane polymer has a glass transition temperature of 0° C. or less. The acrylic polymer has a glass transition temperature that is at least about 20° C. higher than the glass transition temperature of polyurethane resin. The invention further provides a composite coating having as a primer layer a cured layer of the primer composition of the invention and having at least one topcoat layer.
