Abstract
Abstract Thermosetting aqueous epoxy-acrylic copolymer coating systems adapted to cure on air drying are provided using a first package constituted by acid-neutralized organic solvent soluble tertiary amine copolymer comprising at least about 60% of non-reactive monoethylenic monomer, and from 15-40% of monoethylenic tertiary amine monomer, said copolymer being in solution in a watermiscible organic solvent, and a second component comprising a resinous polyepoxide in solution in at least partially water-miscible organic solvent.
