Abstract
Abstract The present invention comprises a water dispersible polyamide ester useful in flexographic ink formulations and Cold Seal Release Lacquers. A high AV polyamide is reacted with a polyol to increase molecular weight via ester formation. The polyamide ester is then reacted with a cyclic carboxylic anhydride. A general formula for the product resin is as follows: ##STR1## wherein x is an integer of 1-5; R'=a polyamide ester chain of molecular weight 500-2000; where y is an integer of 1-3; R 2 is independently at each occurrence the residue of a cyclic carboxylic anhydride bearing at least one free carboxyl group or ##STR2## where R 3 is independently at each occurrence R' or a polyamide segment of up to 2000 MW.
