Abstract
Abstract Epoxy resin-based coating systems of high solids content and possessing an entended working period are provided using a fluid mixture of cyclohexene oxide moiety-containing polyepoxide, in admixture with a carboxyl functional material, especially a resin, and a stannous salt such as stannous chloride as catalyst. These systems cure well on baking, even at low baking temperatures.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
106 words
A rapid curing oxidizable epoxy resin-based coating composition of high solids content and possessing an extended working period comprising consisting essentially of a fluid mixture of a cyclohexene oxide moiety containing polyepoxide component having a 1,2 epoxy equivalency of at least 1.2, a carboxyl functional material reactive with said polyepoxide to cure the same, from 5-25% by weight of nonreactive organic solvent, and from 0.1-2.0% of stannous chloride as catalyst, based on the total weight of materials subjected to cure, the ratio of polyepoxide component to carboxyl functional material providing a ratio of equivalents of oxirane to equivalents of carboxyl of from about 0.5:1 to 20:1.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
106 words
