## Abstract

Polyurethane coating compositions comprising a mixture of aromatic and aliphatic isocyanate, and a mixture of polyol resin are disclosed. Methods for treating an aged substrate are also disclosed.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A polyurethane coating composition comprising:
a) an isocyanate component comprising:
70 wt % to 99 wt % of an aliphatic isocyanate, wherein the aliphatic isocyanate comprises polymeric hexamethylene diisocyanate; and
1 wt % to 30 wt % of an aromatic isocyanate, wherein the aromatic isocyanate comprises polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate;
wherein wt % is based on the total solids weight of the isocyanate component; and
b) a polyol component comprising:
40 wt % to 80 wt % of a hard acrylic polyol;
10 wt % to 40 wt % of a soft acrylic polyol; and
5 wt % to 30 wt % of a polyester polyol;
wherein wt % is based on the total solids weight of the polyol component; and
wherein the coating composition cures at room temperature.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The coating composition of claim 1, wherein the composition further comprises an amine and/or metal compound catalyst.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The coating composition of claim 2, wherein the catalyst comprises 0.005 to 0.25 weight percent of the total solids weight of the coating composition.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The coating composition of claim 1, wherein the composition further comprises one or more solvents.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The coating composition of claim 4, wherein the one or more solvents comprise 20 to 60 weight percent of the total weight of the coating composition.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

A method for treating an aged polyurethane surface comprising:
applying the polyurethane coating composition of claim 1 to at least a portion of the aged polyurethane surface;
drying the polyurethane coating composition;
applying a second coating layer to at least a portion of the dried polyurethane coating composition; and
curing the second coating layer.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The method of claim 6, wherein the aged polyurethane surface is not mechanically sanded or solvent stripped prior to application of the polyurethane coating composition.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

The method of claim 6, wherein the dry film thickness of the dried polyurethane coating is 0.05 mils to 1 mil.

### Claim 9 (depends on 6)

The method of claim 6, wherein the resulting treated aged polyurethane surface passes the Whirling Arm test according to BMS 10-11 specification.

### Claim 10 (depends on 6)

The method of claim 6, wherein the second coating layer comprises a polyurethane coating.

### Claim 11 (depends on 6)

The method of claim 6, wherein the aged polyurethane surface comprises an aged polyurethane coating.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

A substrate comprising:
an aged polyurethane surface; and
a dried polyurethane coating prepared from the polyurethane coating composition of claim 1 applied to at least a portion of the aged polyurethane surface.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The substrate of claim 12, comprising a second polyurethane coating applied to at least a portion of the polyurethane coating.

### Claim 14 (depends on 12)

The substrate of claim 12, wherein the aged polyurethane surface is not mechanically sanded or solvent stripped prior to application of the polyurethane coating composition.

### Claim 15 (depends on 12)

The substrate of claim 12, wherein the dry film thickness of the dried polyurethane coating is 0.05 mils to 1 mil.

### Claim 16 (depends on 12)

The substrate of claim 12, wherein the dry film thickness of the dried polyurethane coating is 0.2 mils to 1 mil.

### Claim 17 (depends on 12)

The substrate of claim 12, wherein the aged polyurethane surface comprises an aged polyurethane coating.

### Claim 18 (depends on 12)

The substrate of claim 12, further comprising a second coating layer wherein the second coating layer comprises a polyurethane coating.
