Blocked polyisocyanate

1. A blocked polyisocyanate comprising the reaction product of:

a) nonane triisocyanate;

b) a pyrazole blocking agent; and

c) a diol or polyol having a number average molecular weight of from about 62 to about 600 and

wherein i) the isocyanate to hydroxy equivalent ratio of component a) to component c) is from 1:0.15 to 1:0.6 and ii) the equivalent ratio of isocyanate groups to blocking groups is from 1:0.4 to 1:0.85.
