Dependent Claim
13 words
A coating composition as in claim 2 where the tertiary amine is dimethylethanolamine.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
12 words
A coating composition as in claim 1 where said compound is ammonia.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
34 words
A composition as in claim 1 wherein the polyester moiety of said polyesterimide hydantoins and polyesterimide urethanes is the reaction product of acid material, polyhydric alcohol having at least three hydroxyl groups and diol.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
88 words
The process of preparing a water-soluble polyesterimide ring containing composition which comprises reacting polybasic acid material, polyhydric alcohol having at least three hydroxyl groups, diol, imide group containing moiety and a material selected from the group consisting of hydantoin group containing moiety and isocyanate group containing moiety to form a polyesterimide containing material having an acid number of essentially zero and further reacting said composition with a compound selected from the group consisting of amine, ammonia and ammonium hydroxide to cleave at least part of the imide rings.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
88 words
The process of preparing a water-soluble polyesterimide ring containing composition which comprises reacting polybasic acid material, polyhydric alcohol having at least three hydroxyl groups, diol, imide group containing moiety and a material selected from the group consisting of hydantoin group containing moiety and isocyanate group containing moiety to form a polyesterimide containing material having an acid number of essentially zero and further reacting said composition with a compound selected from the group consisting of amine, ammonia and ammonium hydroxide to cleave at least part of the imide rings.
