Abstract
Abstract A process for producing an aqueous dispersion of a thermosettable, solid, water insoluble, addition polymer which comprises polymerizing in water at least one α,β-ethylenically unsaturated main monomer, which is very slightly soluble in water, with at least one α,β-ethylenically unsaturated monomer containing a reactive group in the presence of a material selected from the group consisting of surface active agents, suspension agents and mixtures thereof and water soluble, polymerizable ionic monomers consisting of sulpho esters of the formula: R -- CO.sub.2 -- Q -- SO.sub.3 M wherein R is selected from the group consisting of vinyl and α-substituted vinyl groups, Q is a divalent hydrocarbon radical having its valence bonds on different carbon atoms and M is a cation selected from the group consisting of sodium, potassium, lithium, ammonium, substituted ammonium compounds of the formula NR' 4 wherein R' is alkyl (C 1 -C 4 ) or alkanolamine (C 1 -C 3 ), morpholine, substituted morpholine derivatives and water soluble salts of vinyl sulphonate and allyl sulphonate and of at least one modifier which is non-reactive or contains at least one complementary reactive group, and when the modifier is non-reactive, incorporating in the polymerization mixtures, at least one α,β-ethylenically unsaturated monomer containing a complementary reactive group. In addition, the resulting polymerized dispersion may be blended with a water soluble resin. The polymer particles may be formed with the complementary reactive groups located in different layers of the particles or with the groups substantially uniformly distributed throughout their depth. The dispersions may be in the form of suspensions or emulsions. The resulting aqueous dispersions have great utility as coating compositions for glass and steel substrates.
