Grubbs catalysts and ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) have been explored to develop a new class of material for the coating industry. In this study, ROMP has been successfully utilized to obtain 100 % solids, fast reacting polymeric networks. Products rapidly exhibited higher Tg and Shore D hardness values compared to other coating resins like epoxies. They also exhibited superior hydrophobicity behavior compared to the industry standards with much lower hysteresis and almost no water absorption upon immersion into water. When carefully formulated, these materials have also been found to be resistant to high temperatures at a level that could compete with low end of the TSA (thermally sprayed aluminum) products.
