Abstract
Water soluble polyester compositions which, upon cure, are water insoluble. These water-based polyesters are made utilizing hydantoin compounds with salts of a compound containing a sulfo acid group therein. Such compositions are useful as coatings, paints, and the like and eliminate any recovery problems or toxicity problems normally related with many organic solvents.
Claims10
A water dispersible polyester, comprising:
- a polyester, said polyester comprising a mixture of units in the polymer chain made from the reaction product of a diacid component and a diol,
- said diacid component comprising up to 30 mole percent by weight of a compound selected from the group consisting of an alkyl dicarboxylic acid having from 4 to 20 carbon atoms, a diester of an alkyl dicarboxylic acid having from 6 to 20 carbon atoms, and combinations thereof, at least 70 mole percent of an aromatic dicarboxylic acid or ester thereof selected from the group consisting of an aryl dicarboxylic acid having from 8 to 20 carbon atoms, an alkyl substituted aryl dicarboxylic acid having from 9 to 20 carbon atoms, a diester of an alkyl substituted aryl dicarboxylic acid having from 11 to 20 carbon atoms, a diester of an aryl dicarboxylic acid having from 10 to 20 carbon atoms, and combinations thereof;
- said diol comprising up to 30 mole percent of a diol selected from the group consisting of a glycol having from 2 to 12 carbon atoms, a glycol ether having from 4 to 12 carbon atoms, or combinations thereof, said diol component also having at least 70 mole percent of
- a hydantoin compound having the formula ##STR3## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 can be the same or different and is an alkyl having from 1 to 2 carbon atoms, and where R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 can be the same or different and is an alkyl having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
