Abstract

Abstract PCT No. PCT/JP78/00013 Sec. 371 Date June 28, 1979 Sec. 102(e) Date June 19, 1979 PCT Filed Oct. 26, 1978 PCT Pub. No. W079/00240 PCT Pub. Date May 3, 1979 It has previously been known that the poor pigment dispersibility of an acrylic paint is its defect. The present invention provides a modified acrylic copolymer having superior pigment dispersibility and being suitable as a vehicle for acrylic paints. The copolymer is obtained by polymerizing specified proportions of a polyester containing an unsaturated double bond, a dialkylaminoalkyl (meth)acrylate, methyl methacrylate and another polymerizable monomer, and has a weight average molecular weight/number average molecular weight ratio within the range of 3 to 20.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 85 words
A coating composition comprising a mixture of vehicle, solvent and a pigment, which vehicle is a modified acrylic copolymer having a weight average molecular weight/number average molecular weight ratio within the range of from 3 to 20, said copolymer being obtained by the polymerization of 1 to 40% by weight of a polyester containing an unsaturated double bond, 0.05 to 10% by weight of a dialkylaminoalkyl (meth)acrylate, 10 to 83.95% by weight of methyl methacrylate and 15 to 78.95% by weight of another polymerizable monomer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 85 words
A coating composition comprising a mixture of vehicle, solvent and a pigment, which vehicle is a modified acrylic copolymer having a weight average molecular weight/number average molecular weight ratio within the range of from 3 to 20, said copolymer being obtained by the polymerization of 1 to 40% by weight of a polyester containing an unsaturated double bond, 0.05 to 10% by weight of a dialkylaminoalkyl (meth)acrylate, 10 to 83.95% by weight of methyl methacrylate and 15 to 78.95% by weight of another polymerizable monomer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 40 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the polyester containing an unsaturated double bond is a drying oil and/or semidrying oil alkyd resin having a number average molecular weight of 500 to 10,000 and an oil length of 30 to 80%.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 57 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the polyester containing an unsaturated double bond is an unsaturated oil-free alkyd resin having a hydroxyl equivalent of 300 to 600, said alkyd resin containing a residue derived from 0.5 to 5% by weight, based on the sum of the starting materials for the alkyd resin, of an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 22 words
The composition of claim 1, 2 or 3 wherein the dialkylaminoalkyl (meth)acrylate contains 1 to 8 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 15 words
