Abstract: Non-gelled interpolymers of (A) an amide of a monoethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid, (B) at least one other polymerizable monoethylenically unsaturated monomer, and (C) a polyethylenically unsaturated polyester, said interpolymer having amido hydrogen atoms replaced by the structure <FORM:1012484/C3/1> in which R is hydrogen, furyl or a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon radical containing up to 10 carbon atoms and R1 is hydrogen or an alkyl or an alkoxyalkyl radical containing up to 10 carbon atoms, may be prepared by copolymerizing the amide with components (B) and (C) in an organic solvent in the presence of a polymerization catalyst, an aldehyde and a basic catalyst, optionally together with an alcohol.  Specified amides are acrylamide, methacrylamide, itaconic acid diamide, and the amides of maleic, fumaric, sorbic and muconic acids.  Specified comonomers (B) include vinyl aromatic compounds, alkyl acrylates and methacrylates, maleic acid and anhydride, drying oil fatty acids, acrylic and methacrylic acids, glycidyl methacrylate, butadiene, butene-2 and vinyl ethers.  Many saturated and unsaturated mono- and polyhydric alcohols and mono- and polycarboxylic acids which may be used in the preparation of the unsaturated polyesters are listed. The polyesters may be oil modified. Specified basic catalysts are alkali metal and alkaline earth metal hydroxides, ammonia, amines and quaternary ammonium compounds. Many suitable polymerization catalysts are listed, including acyl peroxides, alkyl peroxides and hydroperoxides, ketone peroxides, peracids, peresters and azo compounds. Specified aldehydes are formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, butyraldehyde and furfural. The preferred alcohol is butanol.  Examples describe the preparation of polyesters from (1) adipic, isophthalic, crotonic and tall oil acids, glycerine, the reaction product of 1 mol. of bis-(hydroxyphenyl) propane with 2 mols. of ethylene oxide and dehydrated castor oil; (3) 2-ethyl-hexoic acid, adipic acid, phthalic anhydride, maleic anhydride and diethylene glycol; (5) adipic, tall oil, dehydrated castor oil and crotonic acids, phthalic anhydride and glycerine; (7) adipic acid, phthalic and maleic anhydrides, 2-ethylhexanol and diethylene glycol; and (10) isophthalic, dehydrated castor oil and adipic acids, phthalic anhydride, glycerine and the reaction product of bis-(hydroxyphenyl) propane with ethylene oxide; and the copolymerization of the polyesters (1) with (2) acrylamide, styrene, methyl methacrylate and ethyl acrylate; (3) with (4) acrylamide, styrene, methyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate; (5) with (6) acrylamide, styrene, methyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate; (7) with (8) acrylamide, styrene, ethyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate; and (10) with (11) acrylamide, styrene, methyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate; in the presence of formaldehyde and butanol.  Organic solvent solutions of the copolymers, (2) are blended with titanium dioxide and an epoxy resin or benzoguanamine/formaldehyde resin, and (4, 6, 8 and 11) are blended with titanium dioxide to give stoving enamels which are coated on metals.  Specification 989,470 is referred to.ALSO:Metals are coated with compositions comprising non-gelled interpolymers of (A) an amide of a monoethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid, (B) at least one other monoethylenically unsaturated monomer, and (C) a polyethylenically unsaturated polyester, said interpolymer having amide hydrogen atoms replaced by <FORM:1012484/B1-B2/1> where R is hydrogen, furyl or a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon containing up to 10 carbon atoms and R1 is hydrogen or an alkyl or alkoxyalkyl radical containing up to 10 carbon atoms.  In examples steel panels are coated by drawing with a rod with organic solvent solutions of interpolymers of (2) a polyester derived from adipic, isophthalic, crotonic and tall oil acids, glycerine and bis(hydroxyphenyl) propane/ethylene oxide condensate, with acrylamide, styrene, methyl methacrylate and ethyl acrylate and modified with formaldehyde and butanol, admixed with titanium dioxide and an epoxy resin or benzoguanamine/formaldehyde resin; and aluminium is coated with compositions comprising titanium dioxide, organic solvents and formaldehyde and butanol modified interpolymers of acrylamide, styrene, methyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate with polyesters derived from (4) 2-ethylhexoic acid, p adipic acid, phthalic anhydride, maleic anhydride and diethylene glycol; (6) adipic, tall oil, dehydrated castor oil and crotonic acids, phthalic anhydride and glycerine; (8) adipic acid, phthalic and maleic anhydrides, 2-ethylhexanol and diethylene glycol; and (11) isophthalic, dehydrated castor oil and adipic acids, phthalic anhydride, glycerine and a bis(hydroxyphenyl)propane/ethylene oxide condensate.  The coatings are cured by stoving.  Specification 989,470 is referred to.
