Patent ID: 8372926

Claim:
A polymeric composition comprising units obtained by polymerization of a reaction mixture comprising at least one vinyl monomer selected from the group consisting of acrylic vinyl esters and alkyl-acrylic vinyl esters of bisphenols, ethoxylated bisphenols, epoxy novolacs, tris-hydroxyphenylmethane glycidyl ether, ethoxy phenol novolacs, and ethoxylated tris-hydroxyphenylmethane; brominated acrylic vinyl esters and brominated alkyl-acrylic vinyl esters of bisphenols, ethoxylated bisphenols, epoxy novolacs, tris-hydroxyphenylmethane glycidyl ether, ethoxy phenol novolacs, and ethoxylated tris-hydroxyphenylmethane; and unsaturated polyesters; and a free-radically polymerizable fatty acid monomer, wherein when the composition comprises unsaturated polyesters, the fatty acid monomer comprises more than 5% by weight of the polymeric composition.
