Abstract

Abstract An aqueous dispersion composition is described, which is prepared by uniformly mixing (A) a mixture of aromatic compounds having an average of at least 0.5 epoxy groups and from 0.1 to 1.5 acryloyl or methacryloyl groups in the molecule, and (B) at least one ethylenic monomer, and then polymerizing the mixture. In other embodiments, the composition can contain a polyamine-based hardener, and additionally, a resin, e.g., a phenol resin and a terpene resin. This composition has excellent storage stability and can provide a coating film having excellent water resistance, heat resistance, and adhesiveness.
