Abstract

Abstract Polymers are prepared by condensing a polyhydroxy monocarboxylic acid of formula (OH)nR-COOH, wherein n is an integer from two to six and R is a hydrocarbon radical containing up to 22 carbon atoms to which the hydroxyl groups are attached and optionally interrupted by or containing a hetero atom, with other condensable species which exclude those containing more than one carboxyl group or a group equivalent to more than one carboxyl group. The polymer per se or when attached to another moiety are useful in coating compositions.
