Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to thermosetting copolyesters of terephthalic acid, trimellitic acid and neopentyl glycol units. The compositions can vary from about 95/5 neopentyl terephthalate trimellitate to about 85/15 neopentyl terephthalate trimellitate. They can be cured to form excellent coatings on industrial goods and consumer items such as outdoor furniture.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
71 words
Poly(neopentyl terephthalate/trimellitate) thermosetting copolyester resin comprising from 95/5 to 85/15 neopentyl terephthalate/trimellitate formed of neopentyl polyester having an intrinsic viscosity of from about 0.077 to 0.120 (determined by a vibrating reed viscometer) joined by units of trimellitic anhydride, the copolymer having a hydroxyl number of from 30 to 50, an acid number of less than 15, an intrinsic viscosity of about 0.185 and a Tg of not less than 60° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
71 words
Poly(neopentyl terephthalate/trimellitate) thermosetting copolyester resin comprising from 95/5 to 85/15 neopentyl terephthalate/trimellitate formed of neopentyl polyester having an intrinsic viscosity of from about 0.077 to 0.120 (determined by a vibrating reed viscometer) joined by units of trimellitic anhydride, the copolymer having a hydroxyl number of from 30 to 50, an acid number of less than 15, an intrinsic viscosity of about 0.185 and a Tg of not less than 60° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
80 words
The method of making the copolymer of claim 1 which comprises reacting dimethyl terephthalate with neopentyl glycol to form a low molecular weight polymer having an intrinsic viscosity of from 0.077 to 0.120 and then reacting this polymer with trimellitic anhydride and condensing the product to form a polymer with a hydroxyl number of from 30 to 50, an acid number of less than 15, an intrinsic viscosity of about 0.185 and a Tg of not less than 60° C.
