PCT No. PCT/JP95/01198 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 13, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 13, 1996 PCT Filed Jun. 15, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/35336 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 28, 1995This invention provides a thermosetting composition comprising (A) a compound (A-1) containing an epoxy group or groups and a reactive silicon group or groups as essential functional group components in the same molecule, or a mixture (A-2) of an epoxy group-containing compound and a reactive silicon group-containing compound, and (B) an organotin catalyst, a thermosetting composition comprising (A) a compound (A-3) containing (i) an epoxy group or groups, (ii) a reactive silicon group or groups and (iii) a hydroxyl group or groups and/or a carboxyl group or groups as essential functional group components in the same molecule, or a mixture (A-4) of at least two types of compounds, each compound containing at least one member selected from the class consisting of functional group components (i) to (iii), and all of the functional group components (i) to (iii) being present in said mixture, and (B) an organotin catalyst; and methods of forming a finish coat using these thermosetting compositions. The thermosetting compositions of the invention is excellent in storage stability, curable at low temperatures, and capable of producing cured products free of discoloration. The coating methods of the invention can form coating films superior in low-temperature curability, finished appearance, acid resistance, scratch resistance, and weatherability. |
