Abstract: 1475348 Synthetic resin coating compositions VIANOVA KUNSTHARZ AG 14 Aug 1974 [20 Aug 1973] 35808/74 Headings C3R and C3P An aqueous coating composition comprises from 35-60% wt. of resin solids, which resin solids comprise (a) from 60-90% wt. of the product formed by physically admixing or chemically combining (i) a water-insoluble film-forming polymeric polyhydroxy compound having an acid value of not more than 10 mg. KOH/g. and hydroxyl value of from 50-650 mg. KOH/g. and (ii) a film-forming polymeric polycarboxylic acid compound having an acid value of from 30-280 mg. KOH/g. in amounts such that the ratio of carboxyl groups to hydroxyl groups is from 1 : 2 to 1 : 25 and at least partially neutralizing the material so formed with a nitrogen base and (b) from 10- 40% wt. of a poly-functional non-ionic filmforming resin that is reactive with hydroxyl groups. Up to 40% wt. of the total diluent may be an organic solvent. Optional ingredients include fillers, paint additives and pigments, e.g. TiO 2 , iron oxide, carbon black, silicate pigments, lithopone and phthalocyanine pigments. Polyhydroxy compound (a) (i) may be formed by reaction of an excess of a polyol with a polycarboxylic acid or anhydride thereof or a diisocyanate, e.g. tolylene diisocyanate. Suitable polyols are alkylene glycols, trimethyolpropane, glycerol and pentaerythritol. Suitable polycarboxylic acids are phthalic, terephthalic, trimellitic, succinic, adipic and sebacic acids. Other suitable components a (i) may be prepared by copolymerization of α,#-ethylenically unsaturated compounds carrying free OH groups with olefinically unsaturated compounds. polycarboxylic acid component (a) (ii) is preferably one formed by the addition of a dienophilic compound, e.g. maleic anhydride, to an unsaturated compound having a M.Wt. of more than 500, e.g. an unsaturated fatty acid ester. Other suitable components a (ii) are the reaction products of hydroxy-rich polyesters or polyurethanes with phthalic anhydride or trimellitic anhydride, or copolymers of acrylic or methacrylic acid with other α,#-ethylenically unsaturated monomers. Suitable bases are diethylamine, triethylamine, N,N<SP>1</SP> - dimethylethanolamine and diethanolamine. Suitable components (b) are condensation products of formaldehyde with urea, melamine, benzoguanamine, phenol, cresol, p-t-butylphenol optionally etherified with monohydric alcohols. In the examples aqueous compositions are prepared using as component (a) (i) a polyhydroxy compound prepared from either (1) phthalic anhydride, triethylene glycol and trimethyol propane; or (2) tolylene diisocyanate and ethanediol; or (3) diethylene glycol, phthalic anhydride and 1,2-epoxypropanol-3; and as component (a) (ii) a polycarboxylic acid compound prepared from either (1) linseed oil, dehydrated castor oil and maleic anhydride; or (2) phthalic anhydride and ethanediol; or (3) a butanol etherified melamine resin, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, butylacrylate, styrene, ethylene glycol monobutylether, dicumylperoxide and t-dodecylmercaptan; or (4) adipic acid, trimethylolpropane, a glycidyl ester of abranched C 9 -C 11  monocarboxylic fatty acids, trimellitic anhydride and phthalic anhydride; and as component (b) hexamethoxymethylmelamine. Organic solvents and optionally titanium dioxide pigments are also present.
