Abstract

Abstract An aqueous coating composition which comprises a carboxy group-containing resin powder (I), a basic compound (II) and an aqueous resin (III), optionally with a reactive compound (IV) to at least one of the resin powder (I) and the aqueous resin (III), in an aqueous medium, the basic compound (II) being contained in an amount of 0.4 to 1.2 equivalents to the carboxy group in the resin powder (I) so as to disperse the resin powder (I) into the aqueous medium and the weight proportion of the resin powder (I) and the aqueous resin (III) being from 2:98 to 98:2. The coating composition thus obtained is excellent in storage stability and workability and can provide a coating film having good performances.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim 239 words
An aqueous coating composition which is a suspension which comprises in an aqueous medium: (I) a carboxy group-containing solid resin powder which is by itself hardly dispersible into the aqueous medium but becomes dispersible in the presence of a basic compound to give a particle size of 3 to 60 microns, (II) a basic compound, (III) an aqueous resin optionally containing a carboxy group which has an acid value of 20 to 200 and a number average molecular weight of 500 to 30,000 and (IV) an epoxy resin reactive with at least one of the resin powder (I) and the aqueous resin (III), solid particles of the resin powder (I) and the epoxy resin (IV) being dispersed in the composition and the aqueous resin (III) being dissolved or solubilized in the aqueous medium, the basic compound (II) being contained in an amount of 0.6 to 1.0 equivalent to the carboxy groups in the resin powder (I) or of 0.5 to 1.0 equivalent to the carboxy groups in the resin powder (I) and the aqueous resin (III) so as to disperse the resin powder (I) into the aqueous medium, the weight proportion of the resin powder (I) and the aqueous resin (III) being from 2:98 to 60:40, the weight proportion of the resin powder (I) and the epoxy resin (IV) being 10:1-20 and the molar proportion of the carboxy group and the epoxy group in the entire system being 100:10-150.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 239 words
An aqueous coating composition which is a suspension which comprises in an aqueous medium: (I) a carboxy group-containing solid resin powder which is by itself hardly dispersible into the aqueous medium but becomes dispersible in the presence of a basic compound to give a particle size of 3 to 60 microns, (II) a basic compound, (III) an aqueous resin optionally containing a carboxy group which has an acid value of 20 to 200 and a number average molecular weight of 500 to 30,000 and (IV) an epoxy resin reactive with at least one of the resin powder (I) and the aqueous resin (III), solid particles of the resin powder (I) and the epoxy resin (IV) being dispersed in the composition and the aqueous resin (III) being dissolved or solubilized in the aqueous medium, the basic compound (II) being contained in an amount of 0.6 to 1.0 equivalent to the carboxy groups in the resin powder (I) or of 0.5 to 1.0 equivalent to the carboxy groups in the resin powder (I) and the aqueous resin (III) so as to disperse the resin powder (I) into the aqueous medium, the weight proportion of the resin powder (I) and the aqueous resin (III) being from 2:98 to 60:40, the weight proportion of the resin powder (I) and the epoxy resin (IV) being 10:1-20 and the molar proportion of the carboxy group and the epoxy group in the entire system being 100:10-150.
