Abstract
Abstract Coating compositions comprising intimate blends of a polyvinyl acetal, an alkoxymethyl polyaminotriazine and an oligomeric polystyrene or poly(α-methylstyrene). The coating compositions may contain up to 500 parts by weight of an inert non-photoconductive pigment per 100 parts by weight of polymer blend. The compositions are useful for the preparation of electrographic recording media which possess improved resistance to curl under variable conditions of humidity.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
63 words
A coating composition comprising an intimate blend of from about 50 to about 90 parts by weight of a poly(vinyl acetal), from about 5 to about 40 parts by weight of an alkoxymethyl polyaminotriazine and from about 5 to about 30 parts by weight of an oligomer of styrene or α-methylstyrene of molecular weight in the range of about 300 to about 500.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
63 words
A coating composition comprising an intimate blend of from about 50 to about 90 parts by weight of a poly(vinyl acetal), from about 5 to about 40 parts by weight of an alkoxymethyl polyaminotriazine and from about 5 to about 30 parts by weight of an oligomer of styrene or α-methylstyrene of molecular weight in the range of about 300 to about 500.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
129 words
The coating composition of claim 1 wherein the poly(vinyl acetal) is an interpolymer of a vinyl acetal, a C 4 to C 10 vinyl carboxylate and vinyl alcohol, of weight average molecular weight in the range of about 20,000 to about 500,000 comprising less than about 30 weight percent vinyl carboxylate units, and from about 5 to about 21 weight percent of vinyl alcohol units, and wherein the alkoxy methyl polyaminotriazine is a substantially methylolated polyaminotriazine substantially etherified with at least one C 1 to C 10 alcohol, wherein the degree of methylolation is in the range of about n:1 to about 2n:1 and the degree of etherification is in the range of about 0.8n to about 2n, where n is the number of amino groups per triazine ring.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
