POLYFUNCTIONAL (METH)ACRYLIC POLYMER, COATING COMPOSITION, PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A COATING AND COATED ARTICLE

摘要

The present invention relates to a (meth)acrylate polymer for preparing a coating composition, where the (meth)acrylate polymer comprises 0.5% to 20% by weight of units derived from (meth)acrylic monomers which in the alkyl radical have at least one double bond and 8 to 40 carbon atoms, 0.1% to 60% by weight of units derived from hydroxyl-containing monomers which have up to 9 carbon atoms, 0.1% to 95% by weight of units derived from (meth)acrylates having 1 to 12 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical, and 0.1% to 60% by weight of units derived from styrene monomers, based in each case on the weight of the (meth)acrylate polymer, and the (meth)acrylate polymer has a weight-average molecular weight in the range from 2000 to 60 000 g/mol. The present invention further relates to a coating composition and to a method of producing a coating. The present invention describes, furthermore, a coated article comprising a coating obtainable by the method.
