Abstract
A coating composition which results from hydrolyzing 35 to 70 weight percent tetraethyl orthosilicate and 60 to 20 weight percent of certain silane is useful for providing abrasion resisting coatings for plastics after curing. Optionally, up to 20 weight percent of a silane having a reactive polar site or, in the alternative, a small percentage of a surfactant may be used to provide a dyeable coated article.
Claims3
A coating composition which is curable to provide an optically clear abrasion resistant coating, which comprises a hydrolysis product of about 35 to 45 weight percent tetraethyl orthosilicate and 55 to 45 weight percent methyltrimethoxysilane, and 5 to 15 weight percent 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane.
