Coating compositions, elastic barrier coatings formed therefrom, and methods of applying such coatings

A coating composition includes an aqueous carrier medium, at least a first polymer, and polymeric core-shell particles dispersed in the aqueous carrier medium. The first polymer includes: (i) a barrier segment having aromatic groups and urethane linkages, urea linkages, or a combination thereof; and (ii) an elastomeric segment having a glass transition temperature of less than 0° C. The barrier segment can make up at least 30% of the first polymer, based on the total solids weight of the first polymer.

Multi-layer coatings and methods of preparing the same

A multi-layer coating includes: a first basecoat layer applied over at least a portion of a substrate; and a second basecoat layer applied over the first basecoat layer. The first basecoat layer and second basecoat layer are formed from compositions having a polyhydrazide and core-shell particles dispersed in aqueous mediums. The core-shell particles of the first basecoat composition includes (1) a polymeric core at least partially encapsulated by (2) a polymeric shell comprising urea linkages, and keto and/or aldo functional groups. The polymeric core of the core-shell particles of the first basecoat composition and the second basecoat composition are each independently covalently bonded to at least a portion of the polymeric shell of the core-shell particles.
