Described herein is a latent base catalyst, as well as compositions and methods involving latent base-catalyzed Michael addition reactions. The latent base catalysts are substituted carbamates. The compositions described herein are derived from Michael addition reactions and when applied to a substrate and cured provide coatings, including primer coatings and direct metal contact coatings, that have optimal pot life and cure response , and also exhibits the best adhesion, corrosion resistance and weather resistance. |
