Multi-component coating composition comprising an anhydride containing polymer, a glycidyl component and a self-stabilized dispersion resin

Claim 1

A coating composition comprising 20-80% by weight of reactive binder components and 80-20% by weight of an organic liquid carrier; wherein the binder consists essentially of about (a) 25-94% by weight, based on the weight of the binder, of an anhydride acrylic polymer having at least two reactive anhydride groups that consists of polymerized monomers of an ethylenically unsaturated anhydride or an ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid and polymerized monomers selected from the group consisting of alkyl methacrylate, alkyl acrylate and any mixtures thereof, wherein the alkyl groups have 1-8 carbon atoms and the polymer has a weight average molecular weight of about 2,000-50,000; (b) 5-50% by weight, based on the weight of the binder, of a glycidyl component having at least two reactive glycidyl groups; (c) 1 to 40% by weight, based on the weight of the binder, of a self stabilized dispersed resin formed by polymerizing in solution the following constituents; (1) an acrylic solution polymer, (2) monomers of alkyl methacrylate or acrylate and hydroxy ethyl acrylate or methacrylate, wherein either the acrylic solution polymer contains post reacted glycidyl methacrylate or acrylate or the monomers additionally contain glycidyl methacrylate or acrylate, and the composition contains about 0.1-5% by weight, based on the weight of the binder, of a catalyst.
