Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a process for the manufacture of soluble copolymers, which contain hydroxyl groups, can be crosslinked with organic polyisocyanates and are based on mixtures of styrene, methyl methacrylate, hydroxyethyl methacrylate, acrylic acid and glycidyl esters of α-alkylalkanemonocarboxylic acids and/or α,α-dialkylalkanemonocarboxylic acids, by heating in inert organic solvents in the presence of polymerisation initiators and optionally chain stoppers, simultaneous esterification and polymerisation taking place.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
188 words
Process for the manufacture of a soluble copolymer, which contains hydroxyl groups, and which copolymer can be crosslinked with organic polyisocyanates which comprises heating in an inert organic solvent in the presence of a polymerization initiator and optional chain stoppers, simultaneous esterification and polymerization taking place, a mixture which consists of (a) 26-28% by weight of styrene, (b) 20-22% by weight of methyl methacrylate, (c) 18-20% by weight of hydroxyethyl methacrylate, (d) 7.5-8.5% by weight of acrylic acid, and (e) 25.0-27.0% by weight of glycidyl esters, of α-alkylalkanemonocarboxylic acids and/or α,α-dialkylalkanemonocarboxylic acids, having the empirical formula C 13 H 24 O 3 and in which the amounts of the compounds (a) to (e) must add up to 100% by weight, said components (c), (d), and (e) being employed in amounts such that the reaction product has a content of hydroxyl groups of 4.0 to 5.0% by weight, based on the weight of the starting monomers, and the components (d) and (e) are employed in a molar ratio of (d):(e) of 1.01 up to 1.1 to 1.0, until the reaction mixture has acid numbers of between 6 and 12.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
89 words
Process according to claim 1, characterised in that xylene, monoglycol ether-acetates or a mixture of xylene and monoglycol ether-acetate is used as the organic solvent and from 0.8 to 1.5% by weight of di-tert.-butyl peroxide is employed as the polymerization initiator and 1 to 2% by weight of dodecylmercaptan is employed as the chain stopper, the percentage, by weights, for the polymerization initiator and the chain stopper being based on the sum of the weights of the monomers (a) to (e) which are employed and are to be reacted.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
95 words
Process according to claim 1, characterized in that xylene or a mixture of xylene and ethylglycol acetate and the glycidyl ester (e) are heated to 130° to 145° C., followed by subsequent addition of a mixture of the monomers (a) to (d), di-tert.-butyl peroxide and dodecylmercaptan at a uniform rate in the course of 3 to 6 hours and the resulting mixture is polymerized by esterification condensation and polymerization initiator reaction, at a constant temperature for a further 3 to 6 hours, until the resulting product has an acid number of from 6 to 12.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
Process according to claim 1, characterized in that the reaction product has a content of hydroxyl groups of 4.1 to 4.5% by weight.
