Abstract
Abstract Aqueous polymer dispersions based on (A) 1 to 99% by weight of a carboxy-functional polymer which additionally contains epoxy groups, (B) 1 to 99% by weight of a polymer obtained from at least one alpha , beta -olefinically unsaturated monomer, the polymer (B) having been prepared in the presence of polymer (A), (C) 0 to 20% by weight of anionic or non-ionic emulsifiers or a mixture of the two or protective colloids, the quantity data relating to the solids content of components (A) to (C), and if appropriate further conventional additives, the sum of all the components always being 100%. The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of such polymer dispersions, which are particularly suitable as a binder component in metallic basecoats or metal-free, (uni) basecoats and electrocoatings.
