Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
A composition, hydrocurable at ambient conditions of temperature and relative humidity, suitable for coating and impregnating purposes, comprising a mixture of (1) a soluble addition polymer containing a plurality of pendant groups containing a 2,2-dialkyl-oxazolidine or a 2,2-cycloalkyl-oxazolidine group and (2) at least one polyester obtained by the reaction of a polyol having at least two hydroxyl groups with acryloxypropionic acid or derivative thereof, the ratio of component (2) to component (1) being in the range of 0.2 to 3.5 equivalents of unsaturated acryloxy group in component (2) per equivalent of potential secondary amine nitrogen in component (1).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
98 words
A composition, hydrocurable at ambient conditions of temperature and relative humidity, suitable for coating and impregnating purposes, comprising a mixture of (1) a soluble addition polymer containing a plurality of pendant groups containing a 2,2-dialkyl-oxazolidine or a 2,2-cycloalkyl-oxazolidine group and (2) at least one polyester obtained by the reaction of a polyol having at least two hydroxyl groups with acryloxypropionic acid or derivative thereof, the ratio of component (2) to component (1) being in the range of 0.2 to 3.5 equivalents of unsaturated acryloxy group in component (2) per equivalent of potential secondary amine nitrogen in component (1).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
A composition according to claim 1 wherein the mixture of components (1) and (2) is anhydrous.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
A composition according to claim 1 wherein the component (1) is a copolymer of a mixture of monoethylenically unsaturated monomers comprising at least 1% by weight of N-(meth)acryloxyalkyl-2,2-dialkyl-oxazolidine or N-(meth)acryloxyalkyl-2,2-alkylene-oxazolidine.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
41 words
A composition according to claim 1 wherein the relative proportions of component (2) to component (1) are such as to provide at least about one equivalent of acryloxy unsaturation in component (2) to each equivalent of amine nitrogen in component (1).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
43 words
A composition according to claim 1 wherein the relative proportions of component (2) to component (1) are such as to provide at least about one to two equivalents of acryloxy unsaturation in component (2) to each equivalent of amine nitrogen in component (1).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
88 words
A method of applying a composition according to claim 1 which comprises the step of spreading the composition on a surface of a substrate to be coated, impregnated, or both, at ambient temperature and relative humidity whereupon the moisture in the atmosphere causes hydrolysis of the oxazolidine ring with liberation of a ketone and the conversion of the tertiary amine nitrogen of the ring to a secondary amine nitrogen and crosslinking of component (1) by Michael addition to the acryloxy groups in component (2) occurs at ambient temperature.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
24 words
A method according to claim 6 wherein the ambient temperature cure is supplemented by a cure at elevated temperature up to about 70° C.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
159 words
A method for producing a cured coating, impregnating, binding or adhesive film which comprises the steps of forming a liquid film-forming composition by mixing the components (1) a soluble addition polymer containing a plurality of pendant groups containing a 2,2-dialkyl-oxazolidine or a 2,2-cycloalkyloxazolidine group and (2) at least one polyester obtained by the reaction of a polyol having at least two hydroxyl groups with acryloxypropionic acid or derivative thereof, the ratio of component (2) to component (1) being in the range of 0.2 to 3.5 equivalents of unsaturated acryloxy group in component (2) per equivalent of potential secondary amine nitrogen in component (1), applying the composition to at least one surface of a substrate to be coated at ambient conditions of temperatures and relative humidity to deposit a film coating the surface of, or impregnating any pores or interstitial openings extending into the substrate, and then curing the film by exposure to ambient conditions of temperature and relative humidity.
Claim 10
Independent Claim
159 words
A method for producing a cured coating, impregnating, binding or adhesive film which comprises the steps of forming a liquid film-forming composition by mixing the components (1) a soluble addition polymer containing a plurality of pendant groups containing a 2,2-dialkyl-oxazolidine or a 2,2-cycloalkyloxazolidine group and (2) at least one polyester obtained by the reaction of a polyol having at least two hydroxyl groups with acryloxypropionic acid or derivative thereof, the ratio of component (2) to component (1) being in the range of 0.2 to 3.5 equivalents of unsaturated acryloxy group in component (2) per equivalent of potential secondary amine nitrogen in component (1), applying the composition to at least one surface of a substrate to be coated at ambient conditions of temperatures and relative humidity to deposit a film coating the surface of, or impregnating any pores or interstitial openings extending into the substrate, and then curing the film by exposure to ambient conditions of temperature and relative humidity.
Claim 11
