The present invention provides curable coating compositions including: (a)
about 55 to about 99 weight percent of an epoxy-functional polymer
containing at least two epoxide groups per molecule; (b) about 1 to about
45 weight percent of a thermoplastic polymer effective to reduce shrinkage
of the curable composition upon curing and which is substantially
insoluble in the epoxy-functional polymer; (c) about 1 to about 70 weight
percent of ground vulcanized rubber particles having an average particle
size ranging from about 1 to about 300 microns; (d) a curing agent adapted
to cure the epoxy-functional polymer; and, optionally, vinyl chloride
polymer.
