Abstract
New and novel waterborne coating vehicles are disclosed. These vehicles are water reducible resins, produced via the reaction of the combination of hydroxyl bearing di/oligoamines (cf. Formula I), and carboxylic acid bearing resins derived from the (co)polymerization of vinyl, styrenic, and/or (meth)acrylate, monomers having carboxylic acid groups. Said vehicles are shown to be useful in the preparation of wear, water, and vibration resistant, volatile organic compound (“VOC”) free coatings, inks and paints.
Claims31
A composition of matter comprising one or more polymeric organic carboxylic acid group containing resin(s) and one or more multifunctional hydroxyl bearing di/oligoamines.
A composition of matter comprising a volatile organic compound (“VOC”) free waterborne vehicle, which comprises one or more polymeric organic carboxylic acid group containing resin(s), and one or more multifunctional hydroxyl bearing di/oligoamines.
A composition of matter comprising a volatile organic compound (“VOC”) free waterborne vehicle, comprising one or more polymeric organic carboxylic acid group containing resin(s), which polymers may further comprise non-carboxylic acid based monomers, and essentially nonvolatile multifunctional hydroxyl bearing di/oligoamines.
A composition of matter comprising one or more polymeric organic carboxylic acid group containing resin(s) and one or more multifunctional hydroxyl bearing di/oligoamines, as defined in formula A.
- H[RNHR1]x[R2N(R3)R4]y[R5(OH)R6]zH Formula A
- wherein each R, R1, R2, R4 and R6 is independently a bond, divalent hydrocarbyl, or oxa hydrocarbyl ligands, each such ligand having from one to about six carbon atoms, inclusive of optional ether substituents (e.g., [—OCH3 or —OC3H7]. Each R3, is independently hydrogen or monovalent one to six carbon saturated, or 2 to 6 carbon containing unsaturated hydrocarbyl or oxa hydrocarbyl ligand, and each R5, is independently chosen from among one to four carbon containing trifunctional ligands, wherein (x) and (y) are each independently an integer having a value of 0 to 6, except that the sum of x+y must equal or exceed 2, (z) is an integer having a value of 1, 2, or 3.
