Abstract
Amino resins, e.g., urea-formaldehyde and melamine-formaldehyde thermosetting resin systems, are cured with thermally-decomposable adducts of aromatic sulfonic acids and oxa-azacyclopentanes. The resin products cured with these adducts provide surface coatings having superior water resistance properties. The cured compositions can include other conventional ingredients capable of co-reacting with the amino resins, such as polyols, polyacids, alkyd resins, polyester resins, epoxies, acrylics and the like, to provide compositions curable to products having a wide range of properties.
Claims9
A thermally-decomposable composition comprising an oxa-azacyclopentane adduct of an aromatic sulfonic acid of the general formula:
- ##STR3## wherein A is phenyl or naphthyl and x is a whole number of from 1 to 8, y is a whole number of from 0 to 7, the sum of x and y being no greater than 8, and z is 8-x-y when A is naphthyl and 6-x-y when A is phenyl;
- q is a positive number equal to or greater than about 0.5;
- R is alkyl, halogen, haloalkyl or alkoxy;
- and R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6 and R.sup.7, independently, are hydrogen, alkyl, halogen, haloalkyl or alkoxy.
