Abstract

The scratch and scratch recovery characteristics of two clearcoats, a polyurethane and an acrylic/melamine/silane clearcoat, were measured by a variety of methods. On most size scales tested, the polyurethane possessed superior scratch and mar resistance. The polyurethane also possessed improved scratch recovery after warming for 2 h at 60°C. After 2000 h of accelerated weathering, the scratch recovery characteristics of the polyurethane were largely maintained, while the acrylic/melamine/silane showed a significant drop in scratch recovery performance. Performance of both coatings was related to T g, hardness, and crosslink density.
