Claim 0:
1. A binder composition comprising:
5 to 65 weight percent of an epoxidized vegetable oil or a derivative thereof having an epoxy group content of 1 to 12 weight percent, based on the total weight of the epoxidized vegetable oil, and wherein the epoxidized vegetable oil comprises a fatty acid ester comprising C5-26 alkyl groups;
greater than 0 to 65 weight percent of a carboxyl-functionalized resin having an acid value of greater than or equal to 50;
5 to 75 weight percent of a liquid reactive diluent; and
0.1 to 5 weight percent of an initiator;
wherein a combined acid value of the carboxyl-functionalized resin and the liquid reactive diluent is 50 to 500;
wherein the carboxyl-functionalized resin comprises a carboxyl-acid functionalized polymer comprising a polyester, an acrylic polymer, or a combination thereof; and
wherein the liquid reactive diluent comprises at least one of:
a hydroxyl-functionalized C1-12 alkyl (meth)acrylate,
a (C1-6 alkyl) hydrogen maleate,
a bis(C1-6 alkyl) maleate,
an adduct of an anhydride and an epoxidized fatty acid methyl ester, and
an anhydride that is at least partially esterified with a monohydric C1-6 alcohol, a hydroxy-functionalized vinyl ester, a fatty acid ester of an epoxidized oil, or a combination thereof.
