Claim 1

THE METHOD OF MAKING A SOLUBLE, UNSATURATED, AIRDRYING, POLYMERIC RESIN WHICH COMPRISES POLYMERIZING, AT A TEMPERATURE OF FROM 25* TO 150* C. IN THE PRESENCE OF ALLYL ALCOHOL AS A GELATION SUPPRESSOR AND A FREE RADICAL POLYMERIZATION CATALYST, A MIXTURE OF ESTERS OBTAINED BY ESTERIFYING AN ALIPHATIC-ETHYLENIC ALPHA, BETA-DICARBOXYLIC ACID IN AMOUNT SUCH THAT THE RATIO OF MOLES OF ALCOHOLS FURNISHED BY THE MIXTURE OF ALCOHOLS HEREINAFTER MENTIONED TO ACID EQUIVALENTS SUPPLIED BY SAID ACID IS FROM 1.3:1 TO 2.0:1 AT A TEMPERATURE OF FROM 50* TO 120* C. WITH A MIXTURE OF ALCOHOLS FORMED BY REACTING ALLYL ALCOHOL AND ETHYLENE OXIDE IN A MOLAR RATIO OF ALCOHOL TO OXIDE OF FROM 1:1 TO 5:1 A TEMPERATURE OF FROM 40* TO 100* C. IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IONIC CATALYST, AND CONTAINING SAID POLYMERIZING STEP UNTIL A MAJOR PROPORTION OF SAID MIXTURE OF ESTERS HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO A SOLUBLE, UNSATURATED, AIR-DRYING, POLYMERIC RESIN.

Claim 2

THE METHOD OF MAKING A SOLUBLE, UNSATURATED, AIRDRYING, POLYMERIC RESIN WHICH COMPRISES POLYMERIZING, AT A TEMPERATURE OF FROM 25* TO 150* C. IN THE PRESENCE OF ALLYL ALCOHOL AS A GELATION SUPPRESSOR AND A FREE RADICAL POLYMERIZATION CATALYST, A MIXTURE OF ESTERS OBTAINED BY ESTERIFYING AN ALIPHATIC-ETHYLENIC ALPHA, BETA-DICARBOXYLIC ACID IN AMOUNT SUCH THAT THE RATIO OF MOLES OF ALCOHOLS FURNISHED BY THE MIXTURE OF ALCOHOLS HEREINAFTER MENTIONED TO ACID EQUIVALENTS SUPPLIED BY SAID ACID IS FROM 1.3:1 TO 2.0:1 AT A TEMPERATURE OF FROM 50* TO 120* C. WITH A MIXTURE OF ALCOHOLS FORMED BY REACTING ALLYL ALCOHOL AND ETHYLENE OXIDE IN A MOLAR RATIO OF ALCOHOL TO OXIDE OF FROM 1:1 TO 5:1 A TEMPERATURE OF FROM 40* TO 100* C. IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IONIC CATALYST, AND CONTAINING SAID POLYMERIZING STEP UNTIL A MAJOR PROPORTION OF SAID MIXTURE OF ESTERS HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO A SOLUBLE, UNSATURATED, AIR-DRYING, POLYMERIC RESIN.
