Abstract:
This invention relates to brominated polyesters, based on diols and as co-reactants a brominated maleic acid, a brominated tetrahydrophthalic acid, anhydrides or brominated monomeric esters of the anhydrides thereof, which are substantially free of dibromosuccinate and dibromohexahydrophthalate groups, contain bromine end groups and possess excellent flame-retardant properties, excellent thermal stability, excellent resistivity to ultraviolet light and can be used as flame-retardant plasticizers and when containing unsaturated groups, derived from nonhalogenated unsaturated polycarboxylic acids, can be used in molding applications to form aesthetically attractive thermoset articles characterized by excellent chemical, physical and electrical properties.

[Also in Division B2] A coating composition comprises (a) 90-10% by weight of a terpolymer of vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate and glycidyl acrylate or methacrylate, (b) 10-90% of a terpolymer of vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate and one of vinyl alcohol, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and maleic acid and (c) 0À1-3% based on (a) and (b) of a catalytic curing agent, e.g. triethanolamine borate, a boron trifluoride complex with ethylamine, diethylamine, or piperidine, tri-(2-ethylhexoic acid) salt of tri-dimethylamine methyl phenol, benzyldimethylamine, sodium or potassium hydroxide, maleic acid, phosphoric acid, stannous octoate, tetrabutyl titanate, or uranyl nitrite or butyrate. The composition is dissolved in a ketone or an aromatic hydrocarbon/ketone mixture, propylene carbonate, nitroethane, dichlorobenzene, bromonaphthalene, or ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, applied to a substrate and cured by heating at 250-500‹ F. for 1-30 minutes or up to 60 minutes if a heat stabilizer, e.g. tin mercaptide, is present.
Abstract:
The disclosure of this application is directed to unsaturated polyester compositions, containing a polymer of a cyclic ester having an average of at least one carboxyl group per molecule, which have particular utility in sheet molding applications to form thermoset articles characterized by excellent impact strength and by excellent surface properties such as excellent smoothness, excellent receptiveness to paints and excellent reproduction of the surface contours of the mold in which they are formed into shaped, thermoset articles.
