Three types of commercially modified montmorillonites (mMMT) have been tested as nanofillers in solventborne uralkyd coating compositions. The mMMT was introduced in the amount of 0.5 wt part into a coating system based on a soya oil fatty acid and isophorone diisocyanate (100 wt parts), applied onto a wood substrate, and oxidatively cured at room temperature for 14 days. An incorporation of organophilized montmorillonite into a coating composition significantly affects its viscosity (mMMT with a higher gallery space value increases that parameter) and slightly reduces the hardness of a dry coat. Moreover, a clay nanofiller increases glass transition temperature, abrasion resistance, elasticity, and impact resistance as well as barrier properties (measured using a conventional gravimetric method and an electrochemical impedance spectroscopic test) of a cured varnish. In the case of chemical resistance to acetone, lower blistering of modified coats was found.
