A process including forming a siloxane oligomer from a mixture including
at least one alkoxysilane, at least one phase transfer catalyst, and
water, and adding at least one latent curing catalyst to the siloxane
oligomer to form a coating composition is described. Also described is a
process for producing a rapidly cured abrasion resistant coating,
including providing a coating composition including a siloxane oligomer
and a thermal latent curing catalyst, applying the coating composition to
an article, and curing the coating composition for less than about 10
minutes to form a coating that has a Bayer ratio of abrasion resistance
of at least about 2.0.A coating composition including at least one
siloxane oligomer, at least one phase transfer catalyst, and at least one
latent curing catalyst is also described.
