Patent ID: 8013092

Claim:
An aqueous coating composition comprising: (a) solvent; (b) a binder polymer emulsion comprising a binder polymer, wherein the binder polymer is polymerized from one or more copolymerizable monoethylenically unsaturated monomers containing latent crosslinking functionality, wherein at least one of said monoethylenically unsaturated monomers is a carbonyl-containing monomer selected from the group consisting of acrolein, methacrolein, diacetone acrylamide, diacetone methacrylamide and vinylaceto acetate, and wherein the emulsion further comprises a polyamine compound capable of reacting with the latent crosslinking functionality during film formation; (c) a second polymer polymerized from monomers comprising a monoethylenically unsaturated monomer containing latent crosslinking functionality and a macromonomer comprising a hydrophobic portion and an alkoxylated portion, wherein the amount of the monoethylenically unsaturated monomer containing latent crosslinking functionality is in a range that extends from greater than 5 weight percent to 50 weight percent, based on the total weight of the second polymer; and (d) a reactive diluent resin polymerized from monomers comprising a monoethyleically unsaturated monomer containing latent crosslinking functionality, at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer having carboxylic acid functionality, wherein the ethylenically unsaturated monomer having carboxylic acid functionality is present at in an amount sufficient to keep the reactive diluent resin in solution.
