Preparations of reaction products obtained from epoxides, fatty amines and reaction products which contain carboxyl groups, said preparations being in the form of solutions in organic solvents, or aqueous dispersions or emulsions, and containing
- 1. reaction products of
- a. an epoxide which contains in each molecule at least two epoxide groups and which is a polyglycidyl ether of 2,2-bis-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)-propane,
- b. a fatty amine containing 12 to 24 carbon atoms,
- c. a reaction product which contains carboxyl groups and is obtained from
- c.sub.1. a trihydric to hexahydric aliphatic alcohol,
- c.sub.2. 1,2-propylene oxide, and
- c.sub.3. an aliphatic saturated dicarboxylic acid of 2 to 14 carbon atoms, an ethylenically unsaturated aliphatic dicarboxylic acid of 4 to 10 carbon atoms, a monocyclic or bicyclic aromatic dicarboxylic acid of 8 to 12 carbon atoms;
- or anhydrides thereof,
- and wherein the mole ratio of (c.sub.1), (c.sub.2) and (c.sub.3) in (c) in 1:2 to 110:2 to 6;
- and optionally,
- d. an epihalohydrin, glycerol dichlorohydrin, acrylic acid, methylolacrylic acid, butylacrylate or acrylonitrile;
- wherein the reaction products (1) contain, per epoxide group equivalent of component (a), 0.1 to 0.7 amino group equivalent of component (b), 0.2 to 1.5 acid equivalents of component (c), and optionally 0.1 to 0.7 moles of component (d);
- and
- 2. an alkyl ether of a methylolaminotriazine aminoplast precondensate, and wherein said preparations contain 5 to 70 percent by weight of component (2), relative to reaction products (1), and wherein (1) and (2) are present as a mixture, reaction product of (1) and (2), or both.
