Claim 1
Independent Claim
147 words
Nongelled, amine-functional copolymers dispersible in water with the aid of a solubilizing acid constituted by a copolymer of (A) 5% - 75% of an ethylenically unsaturated hydroxy-functional adduct of a diepoxide having the formula ##STR5## in which R is a copolymerizable ethylenically unsaturated organic radical, Y is the residue of a substituent selected from hydroxy and primary amine, and Z has the structure of a diepoxide having an average molecular weight of at least about 350 and in which the epoxy groups are replaced by the OH groups shown in the formula; (B) copolymerizable monoethylenically unsaturated monomers including 2% - 30% of tertiary amine-functional monomer; and (C) 2% - 50% of a blocked monoethylenically unsaturated derivative of a polyisocyanate in which all of the isocyanate groups are blocked except for one which carries the single unsaturated group, said proportions being based on the weight of the copolymer.
