Abstract
The present invention is directed towards a golf ball comprising a core, a cover and a protective clear coat layer, wherein the clear coat layer comprises a polyorgano-siloxane polymer. The novel clear coat compositions of the present invention are believed to provide enhanced abrasion resistance, impact resistance, and chemical resistance as well as diminished photodecomposition and increased adhesion. Optionally, the golf balls of the present invention may also employ at least one primer layer disposed between the cover and clear coat layer to improve the adhesion and physical properties of the polyorgano-siloxane clear coat compositions. Likewise, the present invention provides a method for producing the clear coat compositions of the present invention.
