Abstract
Abstract The combination of n-butanol, n-hexanol and butoxyethanol, is a superior formulation solvent for aqueous dispersions of amine-neutralized, phosphorylated DGEBA-type epoxy resins which are to be applied to container interiors by spraying. Good film rheology and control of viscosity--by adjusting the solvent to organic solids ratio--is attained at total solids content as low as 20 wt. % and at VOC's as low as 3.5 lbs. per gallon.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
99 words
An aqueous coating composition, exclusive of catalysts and curing agents, comprising: (1) a phosphorylated epoxide reins preparable by the reaction of a DGEBA-type polyether, polyol epoxide with orthophosphoric acid and water and containing phosphomonoester (--O--PO(OH) 2 ) groups; (2) at least enough of a teritary aliphatic amine to render said resin water-dispersible, by salification of said ester groups, (3) water, and, (4) n-butanol, n-hexanol and butoxyethanol, in the proportions of from about 10 to about 30 parts of the butanol and from about 40 to about 20 parts of the hexanol per 50 parts by weight of the butoxyethanol.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
99 words
An aqueous coating composition, exclusive of catalysts and curing agents, comprising: (1) a phosphorylated epoxide reins preparable by the reaction of a DGEBA-type polyether, polyol epoxide with orthophosphoric acid and water and containing phosphomonoester (--O--PO(OH) 2 ) groups; (2) at least enough of a teritary aliphatic amine to render said resin water-dispersible, by salification of said ester groups, (3) water, and, (4) n-butanol, n-hexanol and butoxyethanol, in the proportions of from about 10 to about 30 parts of the butanol and from about 40 to about 20 parts of the hexanol per 50 parts by weight of the butoxyethanol.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein said epoxide has an EEW of from about 1600 to about 2000.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
11 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein said amine is N,N-dimethyl ethanolmaine.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
The composition of claim 2 wherein said amine is N,N-dimethyl ethanolamine and is present in excess of the amount required to render said resin water-dispersible.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
35 words
The composition of claim 4 wherein the total amount of said amine present therein is about 2 parts per 100 parts of said resin, by weight and the pH of the composition is about 9.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
The composition of claim 4 wherein the relative amounts of weight of the butanol, hexanol and butoxy-ethanol are 25, 25 and 50, respectively.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
35 words
The composition of claim 5 additionally comprising a cross-linking resin, the weight ratio of the butanol, hexanol and butoxyethanol to the organic solids present in the coating composition being from about 0.5 to about 0.9.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
62 words
The composition of claim 7 wherein the relative amounts by weight of the butanol, hexanol and butoxyethanol are 25, 25 and 50, respectively, and the weight ratio of the latter solvents to the organic solids present is such that the viscosity of the composition, as measured with a #2 cup in a Zahn apparatus, is from about 22 to about 26 seconds.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
18 words
The composition of claim 7, in the form of a film on the interior surfaces of a can.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
99 words
The method of preparing the composition of claim 7 comprising: a. providing an aqueous dispersion of the salified, phosphorylated resin containing butoxyethanol and n-butanol and having a solids content of from about 33 to about 35 wt. percent, b. thinning the dispersion with water, c. adding a solution of said cross-linking resin in n-butanol, n-hexanol and butoxyethanol to the water-thinned dispersion, and d. adding a solution in water of an amount of N,N-dimethyl ethanolamine such that the total content of the latter amine in the composition is about 2 parts per hundred parts by weight of the phosphorylated resin.
