Abstract
Vinyl ester or polyester resins containing polymerizable, vaporizable, ethylenically unsaturated monomers and an emission suppressing amount of ceresin wax is improved with the addition of a drying oil such as corn oil and an epoxidized drying oil such as epoxidized soybean oil. The improvement is in secondary adhesion. The compositions are useful in the preparation of coating and laminates.
Claims4
The article resulting from shaping into a desired configuration and curing one or more plies of a substrate material saturated or impregnated with a curable composition comprising (A) at least one vinyl ester resin or at least one unsaturated polyester resin or a combination thereof;
- (B) at least one polymerizable, vaporizable, ethylenically unsaturated monomer;
- (C) a polymerizable, vaporizable, ethylenically unsaturated monomer emission suppression amount of ceresin was;
- (D) a drying oil in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 0.70 percent by weight based upon the combined weight of resin and polymerizable, vaporizable, ethylenically unsaturated monomer;
- (E) an epoxidized drying oil employed in an amount of from about 0.2 to about 0.7 percent by weight based upon the combined weight of resin and polymerizable, vaporizable, ethylenically unsaturated monomer;
- and (F) a curing amount of a curing agent.
