Abstract
Abstract An aqueous selfcrosslinkable coating composition which comprises an aqueous dispersion of at least one vinyl polymer, wherein the polymer system constituting said at least one vinyl polymer has chain-pendant amine functional groups and chain-pendant carbonyl functional groups to provide a selfcrosslinking reaction during and/or after coating formation from the composition. The vinyl polymers having both amine and carbonyl groups are also claimed.
