Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim 109 words
A liquid crosslinkable composition which comprises an epoxy-containing acrylic polymer which is a copolymer of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having at least one epoxy group selected from the class consisting of glycidyl acrylate, glycidyl methacrylate and allyl glycidyl ether and at least one polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomer which is free of epoxy groups and a polyacid curing agent of the structure: ##STR2## where X is the residue of a polyol after reaction with a 1,2-dicarboxylic acid anhydride, containing from 2 to 30 carbon atoms exclusive of carbon atoms in the anhydride moiety, R is an organic moiety associated with the anhydride, and A is equal to at least 2.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 109 words
A liquid crosslinkable composition which comprises an epoxy-containing acrylic polymer which is a copolymer of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having at least one epoxy group selected from the class consisting of glycidyl acrylate, glycidyl methacrylate and allyl glycidyl ether and at least one polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomer which is free of epoxy groups and a polyacid curing agent of the structure: ##STR2## where X is the residue of a polyol after reaction with a 1,2-dicarboxylic acid anhydride, containing from 2 to 30 carbon atoms exclusive of carbon atoms in the anhydride moiety, R is an organic moiety associated with the anhydride, and A is equal to at least 2.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 23 words
The composition of claim 1 in which the epoxy-containing acrylic polymer has a number average molecular weight of from about 500 to 20,000.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 28 words
The composition of claim 1 in which the epoxy-containing acrylic polymer is a copolymer of glycidyl acrylate or methacrylate with at least one other polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 28 words
The composition of claim 1 in which epoxy-containing acrylic polymer is present in amounts of 10 to 90 percent by weight based on total weight of resin solids.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 16 words
The composition of claim 1 in which the polyol is a diol, triol or mixture thereof.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 21 words
The composition of claim 5 in which the diol is selected from the class consisting of neopentyl glycol, 1,6-hexanediol and trimethylolpropane.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 13 words
The composition of claim 1 in which the polyol is a polymeric polyol.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 29 words
The composition of claim 7 in which the polymeric polyol is selected from the class consisting of a polyester polyol, polyurethane polyol, polyether polyol, polyacrylic polyol and mixtures thereof.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 23 words
The composition of claim 1 in which the acid anhydride is selected from the class consisting of hexahydrophthalic anhydride and alkyl-substituted hexahydrophthalic anhydrides.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 27 words
The composition of claim 1 in which the half-ester is present in amounts of 10 to 90 percent by weight based on total weight of resin solids.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 21 words
The composition of claim 1 in which there are from 0.3 to 3.0 equivalents of acid for each equivalent of epoxide.
