Abstract
Abstract Hydrolytically-stable, water-soluble, curable coating compositions are prepared by (1) condensing an excess of a lower molecular weight epoxy resin with an amino-substituted benzoic acid, (2) reacting the terminal epoxide groups of the resulting condensate with a secondary amine and then (3) solubilizing the product by neutralizing or reacting the carboxyl groups with a tertiary amine or ammonia.

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
73 words
A hydrolytically-stable, heat-curable composition comprising: (1) a water-soluble composition prepared by (a) condensing a chemical excess of a lower molecular weight epoxy resin with an amino-substituted benzoic acid, (b) reacting the terminal epoxide groups of the resulting condensate with a secondary amine and then (c) solubilizing the product of (b) by neutralizing the carboxyl groups with a tertiary amine or ammonia, and (2) a curing amount of a water-miscible aminoplast or phenolplast resin.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
