Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
159 words
A coating composition which comprises an aqueous dispersion of a resinous blend salted with ammonia or an amine wherein the resinous blend, before salting, consists essentially of (a) about 15 to about 30 weight percent of a carboxyl functional acrylic copolymer; (b) about 10 to about 25 weight percent of a phenolplast resin; (c) about 40 to about 75 weight percent of a partially defunctionalized polyepoxide resin; and (d) about 0 to about 5 weight percent of an epoxidized hydrocarbon or vegetable oil, wherein (a) has an average molecular weight of about 3,000 to about 30,000 and an acid value of about 100 to about 300, and wherein (c) is a diglycidyl ether of a dihydric phenol having an epoxide equivalent weight of about 750 to about 3,000 before defunctionalization having been reacted with about 0.02 to about 0.2 of equivalents per epoxide equivalent of a non-polymerizable monofunctional organic acid having a pKa of about 2.0 to about 5.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
159 words
A coating composition which comprises an aqueous dispersion of a resinous blend salted with ammonia or an amine wherein the resinous blend, before salting, consists essentially of (a) about 15 to about 30 weight percent of a carboxyl functional acrylic copolymer; (b) about 10 to about 25 weight percent of a phenolplast resin; (c) about 40 to about 75 weight percent of a partially defunctionalized polyepoxide resin; and (d) about 0 to about 5 weight percent of an epoxidized hydrocarbon or vegetable oil, wherein (a) has an average molecular weight of about 3,000 to about 30,000 and an acid value of about 100 to about 300, and wherein (c) is a diglycidyl ether of a dihydric phenol having an epoxide equivalent weight of about 750 to about 3,000 before defunctionalization having been reacted with about 0.02 to about 0.2 of equivalents per epoxide equivalent of a non-polymerizable monofunctional organic acid having a pKa of about 2.0 to about 5.
