Patent ID: 7868071

Claim:
An aqueous cationic thermosetting resin having a pH of less than 6.0, a solids content between 10 and 40% by weight and a prolonged stability comprising a non-aldehyde, non-ionic, water soluble organic stabilizing compound in a stabilizing amount of 0.1% to 25% by weight of the cationic thermosetting resin, the non-aldehyde, non-ionic, water soluble organic stabilizing compound having a molecular weight of below about 1000 and being selected from the group consisting of (a) a water soluble tertiary amine (b) a water soluble amide (c) a water soluble carbohydrate, (d) a water soluble polyol and (e) mixtures thereof and optionally including a water soluble, inorganic complexing metal salt, wherein the non-aldehyde, non-ionic, water soluble organic stabilizing compound is added to the thermosetting resin having a pH of less than 6.0.
