Provided is a curable coating composition comprising a reactive compound having one or more structures of the formula: X-Cn(R1)(R2)-C(R0)(Y)-Cn'(R3)(R4)(R5) wherein X is a primary carbamate group, Y is a hydroxy or halide group, n is an integer of 2 or more, n' is an integer of 1 or more, and R0, R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 may be H or a group selected from alkyl groups, aliphatic groups, cycloaliphatic groups, aromatic groups and mixtures thereof, with the provisos that at least one R1 or R2 group is selected from the group consisting of aliphatic groups, cycloaliphatic groups, aromatic groups, and mixtures thereof, and in substantially all structures primary carbamate group X is attached to a carbon atom having a lower degree of substitution than a carbon atom to which functional group Y is attached. |
