Abstract

Abstract An air-drying lacquer binder comprising a copolymer of copolymerized units of 20 to 55% by weight of styrene, 5 to 30% by weight of glycidyl(meth)acrylate, and 0 to 50% by weight of at least one (meth)acrylic acid ester with 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the alcohol component, Which has been esterified with 0 to 15% by weight of at least one natural, drying fatty acid, and 10 to 50% by weight of isomerized drying fatty acids (the sum of the percentage contents amounting to 22 - 50 percent by weight) based on the copolymer and drying fatty acids and dicarboxylic acid anhydride subsequently used, up to an acid number of <10, from 30 to 75% by wt. of the isomerised drying fatty acids containing conjugated double bonds, and wherein the hydroxyl groups formed have, subsequently, been reacted with from 0.5 to 3% by weight, based on the total components of the binder, of tetrahydrophthalic acid anhydride and/or at least one isomer thereof. The lacquer binders possess very good pigment absorbing and wetting properties, very good lacquer-grade processibility and even after the addition of an anti-skinning agent constant drying times under constant drying conditions.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 186 words
An air-drying lacquer binder, comprising a copolymer of average molecular weight from about 3,000 to 20,000, as determined in tetrahydrofuran by the vapor pressure reduction method, comprising copolymerised units of 20 to 55% by weight of styrene, 5 to 30% by weight of glycidyl(meth)acrylate, and 0 to 50% by weight of at least one (meth)acrylic acid ester with 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the alcohol component, which has been esterified with 0 to 15% by weight of at least one natural, drying fatty acid, and 10 to 50% by weight of isomerised drying fatty acids (the sum of the percentage contents amounting to 22-50% by weight) based on the copolymer and drying fatty acids and dicarboxylic acid anhydride subsequently used, up to an acid number of < 10, from 30 to 75% by weight of the isomerised drying fatty acids containing conjugated double bonds, and wherein the hydroxyl groups formed have subsequently been reacted with from 0.5 to 3% by weight, based on the total components of the binder, of tetrahydrophthalic acid anhydride or at least one isomer thereof or a mixture of these anhydrides.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 186 words
An air-drying lacquer binder, comprising a copolymer of average molecular weight from about 3,000 to 20,000, as determined in tetrahydrofuran by the vapor pressure reduction method, comprising copolymerised units of 20 to 55% by weight of styrene, 5 to 30% by weight of glycidyl(meth)acrylate, and 0 to 50% by weight of at least one (meth)acrylic acid ester with 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the alcohol component, which has been esterified with 0 to 15% by weight of at least one natural, drying fatty acid, and 10 to 50% by weight of isomerised drying fatty acids (the sum of the percentage contents amounting to 22-50% by weight) based on the copolymer and drying fatty acids and dicarboxylic acid anhydride subsequently used, up to an acid number of < 10, from 30 to 75% by weight of the isomerised drying fatty acids containing conjugated double bonds, and wherein the hydroxyl groups formed have subsequently been reacted with from 0.5 to 3% by weight, based on the total components of the binder, of tetrahydrophthalic acid anhydride or at least one isomer thereof or a mixture of these anhydrides.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 54 words
An air-drying lacquer binder as claimed in claim 1, wherein 0 to 10% by weight of natural, drying fatty acids, and 25 to 40% by weight of isomerised, drying fatty acids are used as the drying fatty acids, from 40 to 60% by weight of the isomerised, drying fatty acids containing conjugated double bonds.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 61 words
A lacquer binder as claimed in claim 1, wherein the copolymer comprises copolymerised units of 20 to 45% by weight of styrene, 10 to 25% by weight of glycidyl acrylate, glycidyl methacrylate or a mixture thereof, and 10 to 30% by weight of at least one ester of acrylic or methacrylic acid with 1 to 4 C-atoms in the alcohol component.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 37 words
A lacquer binder as claimed in claim 1, wherein the fatty-acid-modified copolymer is reacted with 0.5 to 3% by weight of tetrahydrophthalic acid anhydride to form a semiester having an acid number of from 5 to 15.
