Claim 1
Independent Claim
118 words
A surface-coating binder, substantially free from epoxide groups, which has been obtained by reacting (A) a Mannich base obtained from (a 1 ) one or more condensed phenols, free from ether groups, which contain two or more phenolic hydroxyl groups per molecule, (a 2 ) one or more butadiene or isoprene homopolymers or copolymers which contain one or more ##STR11## groups per molecule and have a mean molecular weight of from 500 to 6,000, (a 3 ) one or more secondary amines which contain one or more hydroxyalkyl groups per molecule, or a mixture of such secondary amines with another secondary amine, and (a 4 ) formaldehyde or a formaldehyde donor, with (B) one or more epoxy resins.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
118 words
A surface-coating binder, substantially free from epoxide groups, which has been obtained by reacting (A) a Mannich base obtained from (a 1 ) one or more condensed phenols, free from ether groups, which contain two or more phenolic hydroxyl groups per molecule, (a 2 ) one or more butadiene or isoprene homopolymers or copolymers which contain one or more ##STR11## groups per molecule and have a mean molecular weight of from 500 to 6,000, (a 3 ) one or more secondary amines which contain one or more hydroxyalkyl groups per molecule, or a mixture of such secondary amines with another secondary amine, and (a 4 ) formaldehyde or a formaldehyde donor, with (B) one or more epoxy resins.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
A surface-coating binder as claimed in claim 1, wherein component (a 2 ) is a product which has been obtained by reacting a polybutadiene oil with a polynuclear phenol in a ratio of from 1:0.2 to 1:8.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
83 words
A surface-coating binder as claimed in claim 1, wherein component (a 2 ) is a reaction product of a butadiene homopolymer or copolymer, having a mean molecular weight of from 500 to 6,000, with a polynuclear phenol of the general formula ##STR12## where the hydroxyl groups are in the ortho- and/or para-position to X, and X is a straight-chain or branched divalent aliphatic radical of 2 to 8 carbon atoms, the reaction product having been obtained in the presence of an acid catalyst.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
49 words
A surface-coating binder as claimed in claim 1, which has been obtained by reacting from 40 to 90% by weight of component (A) with from 10 to 60% by weight of component (B) and which contains from 0 to 40% by weight of one or more other surface-coating binders.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
24 words
A surface-coating binder as claimed in claim 1, wherein component (a 3 ) is diethanolamine or a mixture of diethanolamine and another secondary amine.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
27 words
A surface-coating binder as claimed in claim 1, wherein component (a 2 ) is a reaction product of a polybutadiene oil, containing 1,2-double bonds, and bisphenol A.

Claim 10
Dependent Claim
69 words
A surface-coating binder as claimed in claim 1, wherein the Mannich base (A) is a reaction product which has been prepared by using, per equivalent of phenolic hydroxyl groups of the mixture of components (a 1 ) and (a 2 ), from about 0.3 to 2.0 moles of component (a 3 ) and at least 1 mole of component (a 4 ) per mole of component (a 3 ).
