Description
The present invention relates to coating compositions which are stabilised against light, heat and oxygen and which contain an o-hydroxyphenyl-s-triazine derivative as stabiliser. The coating compositions to be stabilised are those which contain as curing catalyst an organometallic compound, an amine, an amino group containing resin or a phosphine.
The thermal curing of stoving varnishes which contain certain types of binders can be accelerated by catalysts, thereby making possible shorter curing times or lower curing temperatures. Depending on the type of binder, the catalysts may be acids or bases. Basic catalysts comprise organic metallic compounds such as metal chelates, metal carbonates or organometallic compounds or also amines.
If it is desired to enhance the light stability of a coating, a light stabiliser, preferably a UV absorber, will normally be added. The most widely used types of UV absorbers for coating compositions are the 2-hydroxybenzophenones and 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzotriazoles. The addition of such UV absorbers to a coating composition which contains an organic metallic compound, an amine or a phosphine as curing agent, gives rise to discolourations which are evidently formed by reaction of the light stabiliser with the curing catalyst. A further deleterious effect which may be caused by the UV absorber is that the curing catalyst is blocked, so that the coating is insufficiently cured. It is probable that the aromatic hydroxyl groups of the UV absorber cause chelation of the base.
In the course of seeking UV absorbers which do not give rise to troublesome effects in such catalysed coating compositions it is now been found that certain derivatives of 2-hydroxyphenyl-s-triazine do not have the drawbacks referred to above of the other UV absorbers, although they too are good UV absorbers and although they also contain phenolic hydroxyl groups which are capable of effecting chelation.
Specifically, the present invention relates to a coating composition comprising
A) a binder,
B) as curing catalyst, an organic metallic compound and/or an amine and/or amino group containing resin and/or a phosphine, and
C) as stabiliser against damage induced by light, heat and oxygen, a compound of formula I ##STR2## wherein n is 1 or 2, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are each independently of the other H, OH, C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 alkyl or halomethyl,

They are preferably used as finishing paints in the automobile industry. If the finish consists of two coats, the undercoat being pigmented and the topcoat unpigmented, then the coating composition of this invention can be used for the topcoat or for the undercoat or for both coats, but preferably for the topcoat.
The coating compositions of this invention can be applied to the substrate by conventional techniques, for example by brushing, spraying, coating, immersion or electrophoresis.
Depending on the binder systems, the finishes can be cured at room temperature or by heating. The finishes are preferably cured in the temperature range from 50.degree.-150.degree. C. Powder-coating compositions are also cured at higher temperatures.
The finishes obtained have excellent light stability and also enhanced thermo-oxidative resistance.
