Abstract
Abstract High functionality polyol compositions that have a low viscosity of less than 5,000 cks. at 130 DEG F. and an equivalent weight of at least 150 are useful for the formation of high performance coatings. These are produced by reacting a mixture of at least two polycaprolactone polyols having a hydroxyl number from about 180 to about 600 and a diepoxide.
