Silicone-Containing Polyesters, Coating Compositions Containing the Same, and Coatings Formed Therefrom

A coating composition, comprising:

• (a) a silicone-containing polyester polyol comprising a reaction product prepared from reactants comprising:
• (i) a diol;
• (ii) a polyol comprising at least three hydroxyl groups;
• (iii) a dimer of a fatty acid comprising two carboxylic acid groups, or an anhydride or ester thereof;
• and
• (iv) a silicone component comprising siloxane linkages and at least two reactive functional groups selected from hydroxyl groups, phenolic groups, amino groups, thiol groups, carboxylic acid groups, anhydride groups, or combinations thereof;
• and
• (b) a crosslinker reactive with the silicone-containing polyester polyol, wherein the crosslinker comprises a phenolic resin, an epoxy resin, a beta-hydroxy (alkyl) amide resin, an alkylated carbamate resin, an isocyanate, a polyacid, an anhydride, an organometallic acid-functional material, a polyamine, a polyamide, an aminoplast, and/or a combination thereof.
