Binders for coating compositions

Claim 1

Binders for the preparation of coating compositions, obtainable by reacting components A, B and C at 70°-200° C. with elimination of water or alcohol until at least 20% of the theoretically possible quantity of water or alcohol has been eliminated, wherein component A is 1-97 parts by weight of copolymer resins which contain, per molecule, at least two functional hydroxyl, carboxyl, alkoxy and/or epoxide groups, which resins are prepared by copolymerization of a. 0-50 parts by weight of at least one hydroxyalkyl ester of acrylic or methacrylic acid having 2-4 C-atoms in the hydroxyalkyl group, b. 0-60 parts by weight of at least one compound of the group comprising styrene, α-methylstyrene, o-chlorostyrene, p-chlorostyrene, o-, m- or p-methylstyrene, p-tertiary butyl styrene or methyl methacrylate, c. 10-90 parts by weight of at least one acrylic acid ester having 1-12 C atoms in the alcohol group and/or at least one methacrylic acid ester having 2-12 C-atoms in the alcohol group, d. 0-30 parts by weight of at least one α,β-mono-olefinically unsaturated mono- or dicarboxylic acid having 3-5 C-atoms and/or dicarboxylic acid having 3-5 C-atoms and/or at least one maleic acid semi-ester having 2-14 C-atoms in the alcohol group, or reaction products thereof with a monoglycidyl compound, e. 0-50 parts by weight of at least one acrylic or methacrylic acid glycidyl ester, or reaction products thereof with aliphatic and/or aromatic monocarboxylic acids and amino compounds, f. 0-40 parts by weight of an acrylic or methacrylic acid amide having 1-20 C-atoms in the amino group, or alkoxylated hydroxymethyl acrylic acid amides which may also be produced in situ, and g. 0-60 parts by weight of acrylonitrile, with the sum of the parts by weight of reactants (a) through (g) being 100; component B is 97-1 parts by weight of alkyd resins and/or oil-free polyesters; and component C is 0.5-50 parts by weight of at least one polysiloxane having hydroxyl and/or alkoxy groups.
