Abstract
Abstract A family of non-crystallizing acrylated polyester resins are described in which the polyesters are formed by reacting a mixture of 100 mol percent dicarboxylic acids of which 50 to 100 mol percent is isophthalic acid; 0 to 25 mol percent is terephthalic acid; and 0 to 50 mol percent is one or more dicarboxylic acids other than isophthalic or terephthalic; with an excess of two or more primary glycols, the maximum mol percent of any one glycol being dependent on the amount of isophthalic acid with the upper limit being established by the line A-B of the FIGURE of the Drawing.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
138 words
A non-crystallizing acrylated polyester comprising the reaction product of acrylic acid and a hydroxy terminated polyester having a hydroxy number of from about 50 to 100 and wherein greater than 70 percent of the hydroxyl groups have been reacted with acrylic acid, said polyester being the reaction product of: (a) a mixture of 100 mol percent dicarboxylic acids of which: (1) 50 to 100 mol percent is isophthalic acid; (2) 0 to 25 mol percent is terephthalic acid; and (3) 0 to 50 mol percent is one or more dicarboxylic acids other than (1) or (2); with (b) an excess of two or more primary alcohols, the maximum mol percent of any one glycol being dependent on the amount of isophthalic acid with the upper limit being established by the line A-B of the FIGURE of the Drawing.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
138 words
A non-crystallizing acrylated polyester comprising the reaction product of acrylic acid and a hydroxy terminated polyester having a hydroxy number of from about 50 to 100 and wherein greater than 70 percent of the hydroxyl groups have been reacted with acrylic acid, said polyester being the reaction product of: (a) a mixture of 100 mol percent dicarboxylic acids of which: (1) 50 to 100 mol percent is isophthalic acid; (2) 0 to 25 mol percent is terephthalic acid; and (3) 0 to 50 mol percent is one or more dicarboxylic acids other than (1) or (2); with (b) an excess of two or more primary alcohols, the maximum mol percent of any one glycol being dependent on the amount of isophthalic acid with the upper limit being established by the line A-B of the FIGURE of the Drawing.
