The recent trend in automotive industry to lower bake temperature for paint application has embarked immense research efforts to develop new crosslinking chemistry. Low bake paint process is very attractive not only because it can enable sustainable development, cost reduction, alignment with government regulations but also for its potential to allow painting both metal and lightweight substrates in one process. Promising new acrylic based polymer and crosslinker system has demonstrated the technical feasibility for non-isocyanate containing low-temperature bake automotive topcoat application, with basic properties similar to standard bake topcoat.
