Claim 1
Independent Claim
173 words
An aqueous coating composition comprising: (A) a hydroxy group-containing acrylic resin-type emulsion prepared by subjecting to emulsion polymerization at least one acrylic monomer selected from the group consisting of hydroxy group-containing (C 2 -C 10 alkyl) acrylates and hydroxy group-containing (C 2 -C 10 alkyl) methacrylates, (B) a urethane resin-type emulsion and (C) a crosslinking agent which is at least one member selected from the group consisting of a melamine resin and a phenol formaldehyde resin, the component (B) being a self-emulsifiable urethane emulsion prepared by subjecting a urethane prepolymer to reaction for chain extension by water and to emulsification after or during neutralization of the urethane prepolymer with a tertiary amine, the urethane prepolymer consisting essentially of (i) at 1east one of an aliphatic diisocyanate and an alicyclic diisocyanate, (ii) at 1east one of a polyether diol and a polyester diol both having a number-average molecular weight of about 500 to about 5000, (iii) a low-molecular weight polyhydroxyl compound and (iv) a dimethylolalkanoic acid in an NCO/OH ratio by equivalent of 1.1-1.9/1.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
