Abstract
Abstract The present invention is an improvement in a method for making a phenol-functional polyester polymer wherein a hydroxybenzoic acid, a polyol, and a dicarboxylic acid are subjected to a polyesterification reaction under polyesterification conditions to make said polymer. The improvement comprises conducting the reaction in two stages, the first stage comprising the formation of an ester-alcohol adduct between said hydroxybenzoic acid and an epoxy compound wherein the ratio of carboxyl groups from said hydroxybenzoic acid to said oxirane groups of said epoxy compound is about 1:1. The second stage of the improvement comprises conducting the polyesterification reaction with said adduct.
