| abstract |
A hydroxy functional alkyl carbamate is disclosed having the formula shown in claim 1, wherein R comprises a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C36 alkyl group, an aromatic group, and/or a polymeric moiety; wherein each R1 is independently a hydrogen, alkyl having at least 1 carbon, or a hydroxy functional alkyl having 2 or more carbons and at least one Ri is a hydroxy functional alkyl having 2 or more carbons; and n is 2-6. The present invention is also directed to a composition, and substrates coated therewith, comprising a film-forming resin; and a hydroxy functional alkyl carbamate crosslinker having the formula shown above. Other hydroxy functional alkyl carbamate compounds, polymers made with the same, and compositions comprising the same are also disclosed as are substrates coated at least in part with or formed with any of the compositions described herein. |
