Abstract: There are claimed novel carbamoyloxy acrylate compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are each hydrogen or alkyl of up to 10 carbon atoms; R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 are each methylene, ethylene, or 1,2-propylene; and R.sub.10 is hydrogen or methyl. The compounds are polymerizable to produce materials useful, for example, in coatings.

Abstract: Unsaturated carbamoyloxy carboxylates having low color are produced by reacting hydroxyalkyl carbamates such as N-methyl 2-hydroxyethyl carbamate with acrylic or methacrylic acid in contact with a lower alkoxy substituted phenolic or alkylated alkoxyphenolic polymerization inhibitor at a critical low reaction temperature of 40.degree. C. to 80.degree. C. Novel unsaturated carbamoyloxy carboxylates are also disclosed.

Abstract: Aqueous phenolic resole dispersions are disclosed. The dispersions are produced in the presence of gum ghatti and a thickening agent. The dispersions of the invention contain phenolic resole particles that can be very small and uniform in size, thereby enhancing the utility of said dispersions in such end-use applications as coatings and adhesives.

Abstract: There is disclosed a process for producing water-dilutable coating compositions by subjecting a reaction mixture containing a phenolic resin and either a drying or semi-drying oil and an alpha, beta-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid anhydride, or an adduct thereof, and a secondary or tertiary amine catalyst, to an elevated temperature for a period of time sufficient to produce a ternary adduct. Said ternary adduct is reacted with water and neutralized to produce a water-dilutable coating composition. The application also discloses a one-stage reaction for the production of a ternary adduct of tung oil, alpha, beta-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid anhydride, and phenolic resin.
