Method for reducing microfoam in a spray-applied waterborne thermoset composition

摘要

A method for reducing the amount of microfoam in a spray-applied clear waterborne thermoset composition is provided. The clear composition comprises an emulsion-polymerized addition polymer or a multi-staged emulsion-polymerized addition polymer with an average particle diameter greater than 120 nanometers and bearing at least two first reactive groups, and a reactive modifier bearing at least two reactive groups. The clear composition is spray-applied to a substrate and cured. Also provided are substrates bearing such spray-applied clear compositions and the emulsion-polymerized addition polymer.
