Abstract: Heat cured, thermoset protective surface coating films applied to a substrate are produced preferably by a dual cure of a polymeric ionomeric binder comprising zinc modified carboxyl functional epoxy-ester polymers. The epoxy-ester polymer contains both carboxy and hydroxyl functionality and coreacts with a zinc salt selected from a zinc carbonate or an organic zinc salt having a pKa above about 3.0. Upon heat curing, the carboxyl and hydroxyl groups crosslink while the zinc forms a zinc cluster to produce a thermoset film.

Abstract: Non-aqueous ionomeric coatings useful as protective surface coatings applied to a substrate are produced by combining a carboxyl functional polymer with zinc carbonate. Upon heat curing the applied film, the zinc cation clusters with the carboxyl polymer to produce a thermoset coating film.

Abstract: Ionomeric paint coatings are produced from an ionomeric polymer containing carboxyl functionality which is coreacted or neutralized with an organic zinc salt. The ionomeric polymer coreacted with a zinc organic salt functions as a binder and exhibits thermosetting-like properties.

Abstract: Thermosetting coating compositions are based on thermosetting polymeric binder comprising a blocked sulfonic acid functional addition polymer of copolymerized monomers, including sulfonic acid monomer, adapted to coreact upon heating with amine crosslinker.

Abstract: The pigmented paint coating composition is based on a cationic free polymeric binder comprising a cationic free, functional emulsion polymer and glycoluril where the emulsion polymer are adapted to coreact to form a thermoset paint film, and said polymeric binder is combined with a low-cation opacifying pigment. The process comprises copolymerizing ethylenically unsaturated monomers, including functional monomers but excluding amine monomers, in an aqueous polymerization medium, to produce the reactive emulsion polymer. The emulsion polymer and the glycoluril derivative are treated with ion-exchange step to produce the cation-free polymeric binder.

Abstract: A stabilized aqueous, thermosetting coating composition substantially free of acid cure catalysts comprises a mixture of an ion-exchanged reactive function emulsion polymer and a glycoluril derivative adapted to coreact and crosslink the functional polymer where certain cations are added to the ion-exchanged mixture to provide a pH of the mixture between 2 and 5.

Abstract: A cathodic electrocoating paint composition that yields solvent-resistance films is shown. The paint binder consists essentially of:(a) synthetic cation-active latex and resinous pigment dispersant that is crosslinkable therewith, with the proviso that when said dispersant is substantially in excess of about 15% of said latex, an external crosslinker is present that will crosslink upon curing with at least said dispersant; or(b) synthetic cation-active latex and resinous pigment dispersant that is not crosslinkable therewith and external crosslinker that will crosslink with both said latex and said dispersant.

Abstract: An improved cathodic electrocoating composition comprises an aqueous suspension of cation-active, film-forming, amino-stabilized synthetic latex binder particles characterized by being practically free of amino monomer and amino initiator fragments and containing not substantially more than about 15% of low molecular weight material including solvents based on the latex solids content.

Abstract: Improved gloss retention of a cured film deposited by cathodic electrocoating is obtained when the principal binder is an aqueous suspension of synthetic, cation-active, film-forming, emulsion-polymerized latex particles, which latex is characterized by Tg of at least about 20.degree. and desirably even higher.
