Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of coating substrates, especially those with a hydrophobic surface, in which the substrate to be coated is coated with a coating composition whose binder is a formulation comprising an aqueous polymer dispersion in which the polymer has carbonyl or oxirane groups (component a)), and at least one compound having at least two NH.sub.2 groups per molecule, is applied to the substrate to be coated �sic!. It also relates to coating compositions including such binder formulations, and furthermore to a method of sealing using a sealing composition including such formulations as its binder.
Abstract:
A polyol includes the reaction product of an epoxidized oil and an organic acid. The epoxidized oil and the organic acid are reacted in the presence of a Lewis base catalyst including at least one of a phosphorous atom or a nitrogen atom. The polyol is formed by a method that includes the step of reacting the epoxidized oil with the organic acid in the presence of the Lewis base catalyst.
Abstract:
A method of making a composition comprising reacting, in a reactor, a non-halogenated acetoacetate group containing monomer, at least one additional monomer, and a base, wherein at least a portion of the base is fed to the reactor during reaction. Also, a composition comprising an aqueous polymer dispersion that is a product of a method comprising reacting a non-halogenated acetoacetate moiety containing monomer, at least one additional monomer, and a base, wherein the base is fed to the reaction during reaction, wherein the composition has a lower viscosity than a second composition, wherein the second composition is prepared from the same materials as the composition, and the second composition is made by a method wherein the base is added to the second composition after a reaction to form the second composition.

Abstract:
A process for preparing aqueous polymer dispersions comprises first of all subjecting ethylenically unsaturated monomers to free-radical aqueous emulsion polymerization to prepare an aqueous dispersion of a polymer 1 having a glass transition temperature Tg1, then dissolving further, comparatively hard monomers in the dispersed particles of the polymer 1, and subsequently carrying out free-radical polymerization of said monomers dissolved in said particles.
