Provided is a composition capable of forming an easy-drying coating on an application surface in a paint, an ink, and an adhesive which mainly contain polymers, or a coating liquid for a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator, and the like of a lithium-ion secondary battery. The coating composition containing a filler, a binder, a thickener, and a solvent, wherein the binder is at least one selected from a diene rubber and a (meth)acrylate polymer; a viscosity of the coating composition is 1.0×106 Pa·s or less as measured at a shear rate of 0.01/s; and the following thixotropy index (TI) is 1.1×106 or more: [thixotropy index (TI)]=[viscosity of the coating composition as measured at a shear rate of 0.01/s]/[viscosity of the coating composition as measured at a shear rate of 10000/s].
