Abstract

Abstract An improved curable composition capable of acid catalyzed crosslinking is composed of an active hydrogen-containing resin, a curing agent and a sulfonate as latent acid catalyst. The catalyst is represented by the following structural formula: ##STR1## wherein: Z is a radical independently selected from C 1 to C 20 alkyl, C 3 to C 20 cycloalkyl, C 6 to C 18 aryl, halogen, alkoxy, hydroxyl, and aryloxy; R is independently selected from hydrogen, C 1 to C 20 alkyl, C 3 to C 20 cycloalkyl, and C 6 to C 18 aryl; R 1 is independently selected from C 1 to C 20 alkyl, C 3 to C 20 cycloalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, and hydroxycycloalkyl; y is an integer from 0 to 4, w is an integer from 0 to 2, and x is an integer from 1 to 3, with the proviso that when w is 0, y is an integer from 1 to 4 and x is an integer from 2 to 3 and when y is 0, w is an integer from 1 to 2 and x is an integer from 1 to 3.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 204 words
In a curable composition capable of acid catalyzed crosslinking, comprising an active hydrogen-containing resin, a curing agent present externally and/or internally as a part of the active hydrogen-containing resin, and an acid catayst, wherein the improvement comprises using as the acid catalyst a catalytic amount of a sulfonate represented by the following structural formula: ##STR4## wherein: Z is a radical independently selected from C 1 to C 20 alkyl, C 3 to C 20 cycloalkyl, C 6 to C 18 aryl, halogen, alkoxy, hydroxyl, and aryloxy; R is independently selected from hydrogen, C 1 to C 20 alkyl, C 3 to C 20 cycloalkyl, and C 6 to C 18 aryl; R 1 is independently selected from C 1 to C 20 alkyl, C 3 to C 20 cycloalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, and hydroxycycloalkyl; y is an integer from 0 to 4, w is an integer from 0 to 2, and x is an integer from 1 to 3, with the proviso that when w is 0, y is an integer from 1 to 4 and x is an integer from 2 to 3 and when y is 0, w is an integer from 1 to 2 and x is an integer from 1 to 3.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 204 words
In a curable composition capable of acid catalyzed crosslinking, comprising an active hydrogen-containing resin, a curing agent present externally and/or internally as a part of the active hydrogen-containing resin, and an acid catayst, wherein the improvement comprises using as the acid catalyst a catalytic amount of a sulfonate represented by the following structural formula: ##STR4## wherein: Z is a radical independently selected from C 1 to C 20 alkyl, C 3 to C 20 cycloalkyl, C 6 to C 18 aryl, halogen, alkoxy, hydroxyl, and aryloxy; R is independently selected from hydrogen, C 1 to C 20 alkyl, C 3 to C 20 cycloalkyl, and C 6 to C 18 aryl; R 1 is independently selected from C 1 to C 20 alkyl, C 3 to C 20 cycloalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, and hydroxycycloalkyl; y is an integer from 0 to 4, w is an integer from 0 to 2, and x is an integer from 1 to 3, with the proviso that when w is 0, y is an integer from 1 to 4 and x is an integer from 2 to 3 and when y is 0, w is an integer from 1 to 2 and x is an integer from 1 to 3.
