COMPOSITION, PREPARATION FOR THE SAME AND USE THEREOF

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a composition containing binder and metal inorganic salt cluster, its preparation, and the use thereof for coating, more specifically use thereof for surface coating, including but not limited to flooring coating.

Background

Hardness is one of the most important properties for many kinds of coatings, especially the surface coating, including but not limited to floor coating, industrial coating, and wood coating, etc.. To achieve excellent hardness, 2K system with isocyanate crosslinking is often used in suface coating. However, 1 K system is always more attractive because of the convenience in application. Moreover, besides hardness, it is also desireable to have good performance regarding modulus, abrasion resisitance, scratch resistance and chemcial resistance for the surface coating.

Therefore, there is a need for a surface coating with good performance on at least one of the properties of hardness, modulus, abrasion resistance, scratch resistance and chemical resistance; preferably having good performance on both hardness as well as modulus, abrasion resistance, scratch resistance and chemical resistance.
