Abstract
Base coats and methods of producing the same are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a method of producing a base coat includes forming a CPO intermediate and a color intermediate. The CPO intermediate includes a CPO solvent and a chlorinated polyolefin, where the chlorinated polyolefin is present in the CPO intermediate at from about 5 to about 20 weight percent, based on a total weight of the CPO intermediate. The color intermediate includes a color imparting additive and a color solvent that is different than the CPO solvent. The CPO intermediate and the color intermediate are combined to form the base coat.

A method of producing a base coat, the method comprising the steps of:
- forming a CPO intermediate comprising a CPO solvent and a chlorinated polyolefin, wherein the CPO intermediate comprises from about 5 to about 20 weight percent of the chlorinated polyolefin, based on a total weight of the CPO intermediate, and wherein the CPO solvent comprises one or more of methyl amyl ketone and butyl acetate;
- forming a color intermediate comprising a color imparting additive and a color solvent, wherein the color solvent is different from the CPO solvent, and wherein the color solvent comprises acetone;
- and
- combining the CPO intermediate with the color intermediate to form the base coat.
A method of producing a base coat, the method comprising the steps of:
- forming a CPO intermediate comprising a CPO solvent and a chlorinated polyolefin, wherein the CPO intermediate comprises from about 5 to about 20 weight percent of the chlorinated polyolefin, based on a total weight of the CPO intermediate, and wherein the CPO solvent comprises one or more of methyl amyl ketone and butyl acetate;
- forming a color intermediate comprising a color imparting additive, a color solvent and a coating resin, wherein the color solvent is different from the CPO solvent, wherein the color solvent comprises acetone, and wherein the coating resin comprises a crosslinkable component,
- combining the CPO intermediate with the color intermediate to form a mixture, forming a crosslinking catalyst part separate from the mixture, wherein the crosslinking catalyst part comprises a crosslinking component configured to crosslink the crosslinkable component of the coating resin;
- and
- combining the crosslinking catalyst part with the mixture to form the base coat.
